Plot

When their only daughter Blair leaves the family nest, Luther and Nora Krank decide to book an island cruise to beat the yuletide blues and just skip the holidays. But their decision to boycott tradition has the whole neighborhood in an uproar, and when Blair calls on Christmas Eve to announce a surprise visit with her new fiancée, the Kranks have just twelve hours to perform a miracle and pull themselves and their neighbors together to throw the best celebration ever!

Strange as it may sound, Luther and Nora Krank, award-winning Christmas experts, are determined to do the unthinkable: skip Christmas and spend the money on a sun-kissed, 10-day Caribbean cruise. But this is easier said than done. As the community's sweet eccentrics turn their backs on Christmas, a last-minute phone call from their homesick daughter changes everything. And as if that weren't enough, the unexpected visitor has a surprise in tow. Now the clock is ticking--the Christmas rebels must face the music. Can the Kranks create Christmas out of thin air and save the day in a few hours?
