Storyline
When a workaholic surgeon hires an anonymous gift-finding expert to help him survive his grandmother’s “thoughtful gifts only” Christmas, she must pose as his girlfriend to study his family up close — but as she finds the perfect presents, they both discover that the greatest gift may be the family, love, and holiday spirit they never knew they needed.
