When seated next to each other on a plane, they strike up an unlikely friendship. They soon find they're both on their way to spend the holidays with relatives they've never met. Since neither really want to go, they devise a plan to switch places and have fun with it until they're sent back home. Problems arise when they find they actually like the families they meet. With a little help from Santa and a Christmas wish, they find the families they have always wanted.
