Maddy and her adopted son, Wesley, are heading home to her parents for Christmas. There, she meets Paul, who runs a ski rental business. Paul is a single father to Cody, who soon becomes friends with Wesley. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Cody is also an adopted child and, in fact, the brother of Wesley. However, this poses a dilemma for Paul, as he has never told Cody about his adoption and had promised his late wife not to disclose it until Cody is older. Maddy tries to handle the situation with respect for Paul, even though Wesley is aware of having an unknown brother and has wished to meet him for Christmas.
The film is well-made with a lot of feel-good moments. Even though the outcome is predictable (and in which romantic film isn’t it?), they manage to capture Paul’s stubbornness and inner struggle in a good way, even if his stubbornness can be a bit irritating, and Maddy's challenge is also portrayed well. Paul’s sister and his best friend are also a nice addition to the film.
