Festivities with her best friends Alex, Katy, Joanna and their men seem like a brilliant idea until best friend Joanna turns up with her latest squeeze, Jackson, who happens to be Lydia's ex-boyfriend. To make things worse they all are snowed in and Lydia is forced to stay under the same roof with her boyfriend who is all set to pop the big question with a massive diamond ring from Tiffany's and her summer fling from a few years back. Things get even stranger when Lydia is swept off her feet by handyman Will. Lydia is certainly set to have a Christmas to remember.
