Meet Claire Clauster. She believes it’s time someone finally makes a movie about the real heroes of the holiday season: housewives. All she wants for Christmas is for her kids to submit her to the Zazzy Tims Holiday Moms Contest, so she can meet her favorite TV personality.

Claire and her husband, Nick, are excited because all three of their kids—Channing, Taylor, and Sammy—are coming home for Christmas. Channing arrives first with her family. Sammy shows up next, heartbroken after his girlfriend dumped him right before the trip. Taylor arrives last… with her new girlfriend, DJ Sweatpants.

We also meet Claire’s neighbor, Jeanne, who appears to have the perfect family and is extremely prim and proper.

Claire grows increasingly sad when she realizes none of her kids seem to have picked up on her very obvious hints (and direct requests) to submit her for the Zazzy contest. When the whole family leaves without her to attend a Christmas show, she snaps. Claire packs up and decides to drive to California to find Zazzy herself.

This sparks an all-out family meltdown. Arguments explode, feelings get hurt, and everyone storms off in different directions.

Claire ends up at a hotel where only one room is available. Another woman arrives at the same time, so they agree to share—but the noise is unbearable. Claire opts to sleep in her car… which promptly gets towed. Undeterred, she buys a random car for $300 and continues her journey to California.

Against all odds, Claire sneaks onto the show with the winning moms, dances with Zazzy on stage, and vents about her kids on national television. Zazzy loves her and invites Claire backstage. They drink, they smoke, and they have the time of their lives.

Seeing this, the family hops on a plane to California, and Zazzy invites the entire family onto the show. At first, Claire refuses to forgive them—but eventually, she gives in.

One year later, the family is spending Christmas together in a cabin. The neighbors across the street are there too, because Sammy is now in love with one of their daughters.
