A wealthy executive, Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) has no close relationships and becomes nostalgic for his childhood home as Christmas approaches. When he visits the house and finds another family living there, he offers the residents, Tom Valco (James Gandolfini) and his wife, Christine (Catherine O'Hara), a large sum of money to pretend they are his parents. Soon Drew tests the couple's patience, and, when their daughter, Alicia (Christina Applegate), arrives, things get increasingly tense.

Not our typical Christmas movie but it was so funny throughout the whole film. A great cast that brought these quirky characters to life. Ben Affleck and James Gandolfini were quiet the pair. Christmas takes on a new twist when Drew hires the Valco family to be his family during the holidays. What happens next is a memorable adventure that the whole family will never forget.
