A family's perfect Christmas reunion is upended when old rivalries, secrets, and romantic mix-ups come to a head.

Unexpected Christmas follows a typical comedy/drama formula about holiday gatherings where family members argue, show love, and reveal secrets. The second half of the movie is better than the first half. The performances are engaging but not outstanding.

It was witty and also deep enough to be realistic. Family issues happen but sometimes they ruin everything... not in this movie! Tabitha Brown did her thing, too!!

I laughed (a lot! Lol), cried (just a little), and had a great time. It was a great story with a beautiful message. I kinda wanna go see it again!
