Both of them are busy dealing with the stress of their demanding jobs as well as with the effect that a recent move for Maya's career has had on their children. In order to impress both her boss and a potential new client, Maya agrees to host a Christmas party at her new home. This puts extra stress on her especially since both her and Jack's relatives have made plans to spend the holidays at their new house. Jack suggests that Maya hire Owen (David Hasselhoff), a prestigious Christmas consultant, to plan the party in her stead. Despite some initial hesitations, the Fletchers hire Owen, who states that he will work every day except for Christmas Day, which he will spend with his family. He quickly endears himself to the family, helping son David (Darien Provost) overcome a local bully and eldest daughter Anna (Jessica McLeod) get a date with her crush. Owen even helps the Fletchers' youngest daughter Steffie (Eliza Faria) come out of her shell and stop creating gory and morbid fantasies involving her toys. However in the process Maya feels left out and grows even more stressed, as she feels like Owen is replacing her in the family. On the night of the Christmas party Maya's stress comes to a head when her children make a point of specially thanking Owen in front of all of the guests and family members. Upset, Maya confronts everyone and ends up not only ruining the party, but running off the guests and her client. Horrified at the loss of the client, Maya's boss immediately fires Maya. The following morning Maya apologizes to her family, who forgive her for her actions. Maya travels to Owen's house to apologize, only to discover that Owen isn't there and that his wife had died five years ago. She also discovers that his claims of having two children were also false and that he'd made them up. Maya discovers Owen as he's walking through town looking at window displays and apologizes, also telling him that she's aware that he'd lied about his family. He admits that he made up most of the stories in an attempt to deal with her death. Maya persuades him to come home with her, as she views him as a member of the family. She's surprised when her boss returns with the client, who tell Maya that she's rehired and that after the party Maya's boss and the client had become a couple. Then one last family member arrives, Maya's cousin, who shares an instant connection with him. The movie ends with everyone singing around the Christmas tree and Maya asking Owen if he does New Year's Eve parties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Christmas Consultant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
