Clara, a tree-topping angel with an attitude, was mercilessly dumped in a Crock-Pot box 15 years ago, but she’s back to reclaim her rightful perch atop the family Christmas tree. Recently-divorced Elise, however, wants to abandon the Yuletide celebration altogether. Can Clara convince Elise that holiday traditions are still worth the effort before the abandoned angel ends up on a thrift store shelf?
