Oliver wants to give his best friend Lara the happy Christmas she deserves, and he hatches a plan - with disastrous consequences.
Zoe just hopes the season will pass without a hitch for her and her almost four-year-old - but the universe seems to have other ideas.
Hannah is determined to show her girlfriend just how much she loves her - if only she could think away from the chaos of the Fitzpatrick household.
And Sean knows it will take something pretty spectacular to sweep Colleen off her feet...
Four short stories. Four Christmas wishes. But will it all end merrily ever after for the Fitzpatrick gang this holiday season?
