A cozy, gently silly holiday charade that coasts on warmth and mild farce rather than real stakes.

But when his boyfriend, Nathan, shows up at their doorstep unannounced, Gunn must put on a charade to keep the relationship a secret. With pressure mounting from all sides, will Gunn come out before the truth does?
