Rowena "Ro" (Estevez) is a high-spirited 11-year-old girl experiencing a lackluster Christmas. She's not handling her parents' (Sunjata and Carra) divorce well because she wants her life back the way it was - them back together, her father's new girlfriend (Lacke) and son out of the picture, and her family traditions to remain the same. After a disappointing celebration with her family, including her sister, Gabriela "Gabby" (Ashlyn Lopez), Abuela Sofia (Priscilla Lopez), and Abuelo Hector (Amendola), she makes a wish to a mall Santa (Williams) for a "do-over", and unexpectedly finds herself reliving Christmas Day over and over again. Now, in order to break the strange magical loop, she must learn to love her modern blended family as it is, as well as the true meaning of Christmas.
Notes[]
- This is the first Christmas Disney Channel Original Movie since Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas! ten years earlier.
