Plot

Kelsey (Jocelyn Hudon) is beginning her career as a wedding planner by arranging the wedding of her cousin and bosom friend, Emily (Rebecca Dalton). The theme, as the title suggests, is Christmas Eve. Kelsey is running late to an event related to the wedding, annoying her Aunt Olivia (Kelly Rutherford), who is also her mentor. She had gotten delayed at a coffee shop, where she meets Emily's ex-boyfriend Connor (Stephen Huszar), and asks him for the last blueberry scone. He refuses to give it to her, and she leaves, going to the event and finding him there. Aunt Olivia tells Kelsey to "keep an eye" on him, so she goes over to talk to him. He baits her into walking outside with him and reveals that he is a PI (Private Investigator) who wants to get the skinny on Emily's fianceé, Todd (Eric Hicks). Connor invites Kelsey to work him, but she refuses.

After that, Kelsey goes to a fitting, where she finds out that Emily and Connor were getting serious when Connor left without warning or explanation. Then, she sees Todd acting in a way she perceives as "flirty" towards the receptionist, and becomes suspicious of him, too, causing her to do a little digging of her own, then agreeing to work with Connor she finds out that Todd and the receptionist are having dinner at Tobo's on Wednesday night.

Kelsey and Connor encounter mishaps along their investigative journey that reveal to the audience that they like each other, and just how much they enjoy pretending to be in a relationship. At the end of the movie, Connor crashes the wedding with dirt on Todd: he got a servant pregnant a few months ago and she went to Connor and told him everything. The movie ends with Connor proposing to Kelsey, and Kelsey accepting.
