Nineteen days before Christmas, Peter Brockman (Jason Gedrick) is a successful accountant whose life has turned upside down when his fiancée Jill (Cindy Sampson) dumps him because of his emotional detachment and his being a workaholic isolated from life. While sipping on soda at a lounge, he is visited by Bob (Tyrone Benskin), a blues pianist and singer, who is working only for the need of tips. The two talk about their favor of music and Peter's long dream of once becoming a musician, from a younger age. When Bob invites Peter to his house, Peter is amazed about the musical performances the occupants have shown, not knowing the home was a shelter for other homeless people. He eventually meets the caring yet shrewish nun Sister Agatha (Rhea Perlman), who re-appraises his troubles and changing struggles in life. He decides the only to way to help build money and better opportunities to the shelter is to organize them into a choir.Actors

When she was 13, after she helped a boy take his little sister to see Santa, Holly Grant told a shopping mall Santa Claus that she would like to have a boyfriend for Christmas. Twenty years later, Holly is a romantic skeptic and is more focused on her career as a social worker. At the time, she is in court helping a mother get her children back from foster care. When the mother's lawyer, Ryan Hughes, does not show up in court, Holly is extremely angry and sends Hughes a letter via her secretary. On Christmas Day, she opens her door to a man carrying a Christmas tree and a bow on his chest. He hands her a note that says, "As promised, one boyfriend for Christmas," and introduces himself as Douglas Firwood. She assumes he is a gag present from her friend Diane, and invites him into her home. Later that day she takes him with her to her parents' house for Christmas dinner. Hoping to keep her matchmaking family, especially her manipulative sister-in-law Carol, off her back, she tells everyone that Douglas is her long-term boyfriend, and Douglas plays along. On New Year's Eve, Holly learns from her scheming ex-boyfriend Ted that Douglas is really Ryan Hughes, who was sent to her by Santa Claus. She accuses him of lying to her and tells him to leave. After persuasion by Santa Claus and refusing Ted's marriage proposal, she follows Ryan. They meet up at a park, where they finally remember where they first met - at age 13 when she helped him take his little sister to see Santa - and they watch the New Year's fireworks together.
