Asha and Jake are old school friends who reconnect in the emergency room, where Asha works, after Jake has fallen and injured his wrist. They start dating, and a year later, Jake proposes to Asha. But then comes the challenge – Christmas – when they must visit each other's families. Asha comes from a Christian Indian home, and her father is very committed to a traditional Christmas celebration. Moreover, Jake hasn’t asked Asha’s father for her hand in marriage. Jake’s parents are divorced and lead very different lives. Amidst all this, Jake and Asha must navigate their way through the holiday season.
Even though the core romance is resolved relatively early in the film, it remains engaging, with much of the plot revolving around the differences between Asha's and Jake's families and how these differences may not be as significant or insurmountable as some might think.
