It is 6 p.m. and the Douglas family is busily preparing to be invaded by their quirky relatives for their traditional Christmas Eve dinner. After robbing a neighborhood liquor store, high strung and irritable Tony and his dim-witted partner Vinny find themselves in need of a place to briefly hide out.
Using a ruse to gain entrance into the Douglas home, they suddenly find themselves in charge of an ever-growing list of family members that they are forced to hold hostage. From smart-aleck teenagers to nosy neighbors and bickering adults – the laughs are nonstop.
Starring Caleb Landry, Susan Tremblay, Dee Pizzo, Will Stecher, Mark Nadeau, Stan Pinnette, MJ Clifford, Jeffrey Quinn, Charlotte Hautala, Diane Hunt, Quincy Morin, Morgan McKay, Jen Day and Earl Boyd.
