Geoffrey isn’t too thrilled about having to spend Christmas weekend at his dad’s cottage in the Laurentians. The Internet is so lousy Geoffrey can’t play computer games. Even worse, there’s Rebekah, his dad’s latest girlfriend. Rebekah is unbearably cheerful and for someone Jewish, she’s way too into Christmas. It doesn’t help that Geoffrey’s kid sister Angela and the family dog, Paprika, give Rebekah a chance. A freak storm traps the family in the cottage. When a late-night cooking experiment goes terribly wrong, Geoffrey and his sister get to know Rebekah in ways they could never have expected.
