Mistletoe Mixup

At an advertising agency, workaholic Holly discusses the holiday season with her boss, Vicky. While standing in line, Holly speaks a Christmas wish aloud, repeating, "my Christmas wish is to meet Mr. Right." latestnetflix.com's read is that Vicky directs Holly to take time off and hands her a corporate credit card with orders to purchase a Christmas tree.

At a local tree lot, a leaning evergreen topples onto Holly. A customer introduces himself—"I'm Tom Wright", and helps her up. Tom assists her in choosing a noble fir, secures it to the roof of her car with what he calls a "proper knot," and asks her to dinner. Holly gives him her phone number.

As Holly drives down the street, the tree breaks free from the roof and strikes Austin. Austin untangles himself and criticizes the knot as a slipknot rather than a proper fastening. Because Holly lives on the adjacent block, Austin carries the tree to her apartment.

Austin and Holly shear the oversized branches and hang ornaments together. Austin explains that he works as a mixed-media artist, and the two order food, speaking about the loss of their respective fathers. Before departing, Austin writes down his number and tells her, "Call me, no pressure." Holly immediately sends him a text message.

The next day at the agency, Holly notes that Austin has not answered her messages. Tom calls Holly and invites her to dinner that evening at Del Sol. Over the meal, Tom explains his career in finance and invites Holly to spend the holidays at his family's mountain cabin, noting that his grandmother welcomes guests.

Holly hesitates to impose, but Vicky insists Holly stay at Vicky's own vacant family cabin in the mountains and accept Tom's invitation. Holly telephones Tom to accept the offer and drives up alone. Along the road, Holly rents skis from a shopkeeper named Harry, who tells her, "The mountain has a way of keeping us in the moment and helping us find things we didn't even know we were lookin' for."

Holly arrives at the Wright family cabin to meet Tom, but Austin opens the door. Holly and Austin react in surprise, and Tom appears beside them, prompting Holly and Austin to ask simultaneously, "How do you two know each other?"

Over dinner with their grandmother Betty and brother Seth, the brothers bicker over the tree and Holly. Betty recalls being courted by competing suitors in her youth and proposes an outing: "Both take her on a date, may the best man win." Holly rejects the arrangement, answering, "I'm not gonna be anyone's Christmas conquest."

Before Holly exits the cabin, she questions Austin about ignoring her texts. Austin explains, "You were texting my landline. I gave you my house number." Relieved by the explanation, Holly agrees to join the family on the ski slopes the following morning.

On the ski slopes, Tom and Austin race competitively until Austin tumbles down a snowbank. Tom asks Holly out for lunch the next day at Café Galleria, while Austin privately arranges a dinner date with her that same evening at the same venue. Over the telephone, Vicky reminds Holly of her double wish, remarking that Holly now has "two Mr. Rights."

Tom takes Holly to lunch at Café Galleria and inquires about her five-year professional ambitions. That evening, Austin drives Holly to the same restaurant in an unheated vehicle. After Austin struggles with the venue's required dinner jacket, the two leave to play arcade games and share diner food, where Austin admits he may need to purchase a mobile phone to avoid missing her messages.

Meanwhile, Tom stops by a local bakery run by his former classmate Liz. Liz offers him coffee in exchange for assistance with baking cookies, explaining her policy of closing whenever heavy snow falls because "I work to live, not the other way around." Tom admits to Liz that he feels envy toward Austin's personal freedom.

Tom later invites the family and Holly to a bowling alley, where he takes the karaoke stage and sings "O Holy Night" to Holly. Austin intervenes, and the two brothers wrestle across the floor into a bowling display. Holly halts the fight, stating, "I can't do this anymore. It's too much." She informs them that she will not stand between brothers and prepares to drive home the next morning.

At Holly's cabin, Betty pays a visit and recounts how she chose Raymond over a traveling musician named Harry Shaw. Betty advises Holly to take one final chance before departing. After Betty leaves on her sleigh, Holly speaks a quiet wish by the window: "I just want everyone to be happy."

Back at the Wright cabin, Austin admits to Betty that he loves Holly, though he refuses to place his feelings above his loyalty to Tom. Tom overhears the admission, steps forward, and hugs his brother, answering, "She's a really great lady. And you are the right man for her." Tom tells his brother that family comes first and urges Austin to catch Holly before she drives down the mountain.

Austin runs to Holly's vehicle as she packs her car, apologizing for his behavior and saying, "I guess what I'm trying to say is you're the most amazing girl I have ever met." Holly steps toward him, and the two embrace in the snow.

Holly accompanies Austin back to the Wright cabin for Christmas dinner, where Tom arrives with Liz as his guest. Austin brings in an additional guest for Betty—Harry Shaw from the ski shop, who greets her with "Merry Christmas, Betty." Seth powers on the karaoke machine, and the group gathers together to celebrate.
