The story follows a young woman named Sloane who is single, and her family does not like this for her, especially around the holidays. She finds a stranger with the same problem, so they become each others ‘holidate’ for every holiday in the year. As time goes on, they realize they are catching real feelings for each other. 

The sets used in the film are well decorated, and this was important in order to represent each holiday. When it was Christmas time in the film, you could clearly tell because there were Christmas trees, present boxes, etc. When it was Halloween time, again, you could clearly tell because there were pumpkin decorations, people wearing costumes, etc. The director did a great job at differentiating each holiday.
