With Grace’s father’s furniture business on the ropes financially, the prize could turn his fortunes around. However, they have to compete against Mr. Ryan’s (Garry Chalk) ex-business partner-turned-arch-nemesis, Frank Sotto (John Cassini) and his family, along with a tech-heavy newcomer with snazzy tricks up their sleeves.

However, as Grace reunites with her childhood friend, Tony Sotto (Carlo Marks), Frank’s handsome son, they realize the only chance the families have to defeat the new company is to team up. Can both families put their differences aside to work together towards a common goal and possibly end a decades-old feud?

The storyline promises plenty of Christmas lights and sparkle and heartwarming comradeship for the holidays.
