Kevin, a lazy and selfish music composer, is a father divorced from his wife, Jill, but still obliged to celebrate Christmas with his former in-laws, especially Jill's father who never liked him to begin with. Shopping for a gift for his son at the last second, Kevin makes a purchase without even knowing what the gift is. He arrives at Jill's family's home to a mixed reception, welcomed only by his son Ben and Jill's Granny Conlon. Matters worsen as it is revealed that the gift he purchased for his son is an "easy bake oven." Jill's new boyfriend, Todd, a cardiologist, outshines him at every opportunity, dressing as Santa (which Kevin usually does every Christmas), providing Ben a better gift, and giving Jill a new car. Feeling depressed, Kevin tries to leave town, but finds his only route now blocked by a giant boulder. The family goes to the town's annual Christmas fair at which Jill's father, Arthur, once again loses a competition to his neighbor rivals, the Hendersons. Following the fair, the family, including a reluctant Kevin, go caroling, and afterwards, Todd proposes to Jill who accepts. The whole family celebrates, except for Kevin, who is too saddened by the events from the day, and for Ben who had held out hope that his parents would get back together. Just as the day ends, Ben wishes it was Christmas every day, and at the stroke of midnight, Kevin finds himself back at the front door on Christmas morning.
