Up-and-coming men’s fashion designer, Rachel Rocca, lands a spot in a competition to design a tuxedo for one of the city’s most eligible bachelors, Brett Stone, for a Christmas Charity Gala and Auction. As Rachel begins to unthread his well spun public image, she discovers the true reason behind his Christmas charity, and they find themselves falling in love.

The thirty-somethings planned a Christmas trip to Lapland months ago, but the journey there is not exactly going smoothly. The app group has fallen silent, Bart and Pieter aren't working well together, Lot is getting sucked deeper and deeper into Boas' trendy group of friends, Nora's heavily pregnant belly is about to burst, no one shows up at Saar's farewell party, and Elias and Alex have completely different expectations of the upcoming reunion. Fortunately, in fairytale Lapland, they get the ultimate chance to mend all the cracks. But Christmas always has its own surprises.

This moral tale of temptation, desperation and childish devotion has echoes of Dickens' classic fable A Christmas Carol. A lowly office worker of slender means is unable to buy his invalid wife the "good food and good wine" she requires. Incensed by the Scrooge-like manner of his boss, Charles is at the brink of despair. The suitably soppy ending is sure to get you in the Christmas spirit. BFI

Nobody in the Rigi family is really looking forward to the Christmas Child this year. 13-year-old Sima and her little brother Elyas know: Mom Leonie and dad Kian are going to split up! Even Kian's parents Britta and Navid, who want to spread Christmas cheer, can't turn the tide. Only after a false alarm about Elyas, who has suddenly disappeared, do the tensions ease. The newlyweds make a discovery on their doorstep: a baby just a few weeks old. After a confession from him, the search begins for the mother - and the reason why the foundling should be with parents who are separating.
