The Johnson clan returns for this heartfelt yuletide drama that finds the individual family members struggling with a surfeit of issues. While the conceited Sam obnoxiously flaunts his success before brother Robert, Robert himself grapples with alcoholism. Meanwhile, Candy shocks the more traditional family members by inviting her vegan boyfriend to dinner, and Aunt Michelle buckles beneath the weight of loneliness and prays aloud for a man to come into her life. These events and others all add up to a bittersweet mixture of humor and pathos, laced with Christian sentiments.
