Kendall Freeman is a self-assured, full-figured seamstress and aspiring fashion designer who loves Christmas. Niya Fine, a shy, introverted, plus-size teen, is dealing with the recent loss of her mother. She's now living with her widowed grandmother, Claudia, an elitist who criticises her every move. While Kendall is working hard to make the season bright, Niya is begging her uncle Reese, the 'reprobate' of the family, to spend the holidays with her at his mother's home. A twist of fate leads to a unique friendship between Kendall and Niya, and a quest to pursue some family tradition that seems impossible to achieve.
