As Christmas approaches, widowed teacher Emily Spengler and novelist Charles Johnson meet on a house-swapping website and decide to spend a week in each other's homes. Emily is looking for a quiet escape to be with her daughter, who's not coming home for the holidays, while Charles needs a distraction from his writing deadlines. However, their plans are derailed by the Christmas spirit, which is either missing or overwhelming in each other's homes. Emily finds herself falling for Charles's brother, Ray, while Faith, her best friend, becomes stuck with Charles and must navigate their initial dislike for each other.
