This holiday, two of Texas' most beloved sweethearts are finally gettin' hitched. Everyone in the small town of Spruce is overjoyed as the winter wedding kicks off. Everyone except Malcolm Tucci. Forced to attend the festivities with his father catering the event, the stone-hearted, grudge-carrying, holiday-hating Malcolm is brought face-to-face with Bobby, the soccer boy groom he could've had, and Jimmy, the dancer who stole him away. What he didn't count on was having his feet swept out from under him by the rugged, pretty-eyed, and insufferably cocky Samuel. Is it too late for Malcolm to believe in romance again?
