Two twenty-somethings, unrelated, struggle to maintain their personal relationships going about their day-to-day life in Vancouver.

A Cherry Lane, 3 couples, à 3 époques différentes, s'apprêtent à passer Noël dans la même maison. Regina annonce à ses grands enfants Winnie et Conrad qu'elle se remarie et compte vendre la maison, John et Olivia attendent leur premier enfant et subissent la présence envahissante de la famille d'Olivia alors qu'ils n'ont pas fini d'emménager et enfin Zian et Mike deviennent famille d'accueil pour une petite fille et attendent 14 convives la veille de Noël alors que leur cuisine est en chantier. Lizzie et John essaient de jongler entre leur installation dans leur nouvelle maison, l'organisation d'un grand dîner familial et la naissance imminente de leur premier enfant.

In 1960, Eli and Penny take in Eli’s curmudgeonly father, Walter, and are forced to navigate some tricky family waters to get through the holidays while also working on a Christmas themed time capsule for son Alex’s school project. In 1998, we see Regina and Nelson’s first meeting: stuck together when a blizzard strands Nelson in Regina’s home on Christmas Eve. In 2015, Jessie faces a big challenge while planning her sister’s last-minute Christmas Eve wedding — the officiant is Tim, her high school sweetheart, whom she hasn’t seen in almost 20 years.

In 1966, single guy David’s plans for a simple Christmas are dashed when his neighbor Stephanie arrives with news that she won a contest to have Tommy Saunders’ Christmas Eve TV special broadcast live from her house – but used his address. In 1981, John and Lizzie learn that this will be their last Christmas on Cherry Lane after John receives a job offer in Michigan and Lizzie finds out she’s pregnant. In 2000, best friends Matt and Rebecca find unexpected feelings developing as they try to find out who is behind a series of Christmas-themed random acts of kindness.
