Paul Feig directs this romantic comedy starring Emilia Clarke, Michelle Yeoh and Emma Thompson.

Having had major surgery following a serious illness the year before, Kate now lives life with a more hedonistic approach, much to the dismay of her mother, Adelia Thompson. With Christmas just around the corner she meets Tom Henry Golding who gives her the lift she needs. Soon the pair's romantic endeavour sees her appreciating her second chance at life and embracing all the magic that Christmas has to offer.
