The movie kicks off with what I believe is an original song for this BET+ Christmas film. We open with a dream sequence of Nancy being crowned the Queen of Christmas. Both Doris and Julia wake up suddenly—apparently from having the same dream?

Doris, Julia, and Nancy are neighbors who compete in the local Christmas decorating competition, but Doris and Julia cannot stand Nancy. It’s not just that she always wins—it’s also that she only tips $1 on a $300 hair job Doris does for her, and then walks into Julia’s bakery to announce she won’t be eating any of the baked goods.

Then comes bad news: the church’s annual Christmas play is canceled. Bishop Tony is just too tired to organize it this year.

But their acting skills won’t go to waste—because director Patrick Saint Thomas is coming to town to cast his upcoming movie, and he’s hoping to find some untapped talent within the church community. If you get a golden ticket in your mailbox, that means you’ve been invited to audition.

Doris, Julia, and Nancy all receive invites. Patrick’s assistant lets them know that Mr. Saint Thomas won’t just be judging based on acting ability—he’s also looking for genuine Christmas spirit.

And so, the battle begins. The women all start competing fiercely, which apparently is exactly what Patrick Saint Thomas wants to see.

Eventually, Doris and Julia realize they’re tearing their families apart. Their husbands are furious.

Patrick Saint Thomas calls all three women in—Nancy included—and it turns out he’s just some white guy who gets a weird thrill from watching Black women argue? It’s... not great. Doris and Julia walk away from the project. Nancy has the final decision, and she turns it down too.

In the end, the three women reconcile and become friends. They celebrate Christmas together—and we love that.

Terry Russell is an author, but it’s hard to get any writing done over her daughter’s loud music.
We meet Matthew, who owns a restaurant and is just kinda grumpy—especially after a critic gives him a really bad review.

Terry’s publisher and best friend, Leslie, sets her up on a blind date with her brother… Matthew.
Terry shows up for the date and is excited—until she sees Matthew walk up and talk to the wrong woman. The date ends up lasting all of two minutes before she bails.

Terry has writer’s block, and Matthew is in a funk after that review. Both could use a little getaway.

Leslie tells Terry that she and her daughter should go stay at their family’s summer villa. But when Terry arrives, she’s shocked to find Matthew swimming in the backyard.
He’s like, “I’m not leaving. I need time to get out of this funk.”
She’s like, “Well, I’m not leaving either.”
They call Leslie, and she tells them the house is big enough—why not just share it? They (reluctantly) agree.

He’s immediately annoyed by how they’re handling the kitchen, and she’s immediately annoyed that she still has writer’s block.
Her 15-year-old daughter, Abby, is there and keeps trying to cook for Matthew because she’s into it.

Terry goes into town and meets local chef Jean Luc, and she’s pretty taken by him—and his accent. Jean Luc also wants Matthew to join a local cook-off.

Matthew spends a lot of time in the kitchen trying to get re-inspired, but it’s not going well—even though Terry tries one of his dishes and tells him it’s delicious.

One night, she can’t sleep and finds Matthew in the kitchen. Instead of telling her to scram, he invites her to share some homemade hot chocolate. They start to bond.

Jean Luc shows up unannounced and asks Terry out. Matthew is not impressed—by Jean Luc or the fish he brought over. And by “not impressed,” we mean very jealous.

Terry takes Matthew to the street market for inspiration, where they run into Jean Luc’s butcher, Nadia. She invites Terry over for dinner.

Abby picks up on the fact that her mom is kinda into Matthew and is like, “You should go for it.”

But when Terry sees Matthew and Nadia talking late at night, she gets suspicious, spies on them, and ends up falling into the pool.
Nadia thinks it’s weird that he’s sharing a house with another woman and leaves.

The next day, Terry goes on a picnic with Jean Luc. Naturally, Matthew picks a fight with her when she gets back.

Abby is not leaving this to chance, so she starts working on ways to get Terry and Matthew in the same room.

He begins to inspire her writing. One day, during a walk, he feeds her a berry and she immediately runs off to write.

He asks her out to dinner. The sparks are flyingggg.

But when they realize the restaurant is short-staffed, he jumps back into the kitchen—and sees Terry helping out with the waitstaff.
That’s when he realizes: oh snap... she’s the one.

They get back to the villa and are about to kiss—finally—but Abby comes downstairs in tears. Her friends are being mean to her on social media.

Later, Terry starts inspiring his cooking. They almost kiss again... but there’s a knock at the door.
It’s Dianne, Matthew’s business manager. She tells him she invited that same food critic to the cook-off. He’s not thrilled.

Matthew asks Abby to be his sous chef for the competition. He’s overwhelmed—until he looks out at Terry.
Sometimes, that’s all you need.

They win!!!
The critic comes up to Matthew afterward and tells him, “You’ve got your mojo back!”

The next day, Terry is about to give Matthew her new manuscript—but they’re interrupted by big news: TV producers want to give Matthew his own show. He’d travel the world making food for women. Chef Cupid, baby.

Terry is very sad. She figures it just wasn’t meant to be. She tells Matthew she had a great summer, but she’s going back to New York. He’s confused.

Later, he finds her manuscript, reads it, and realizes—she doesn’t want him to be Chef Cupid.
He races off to find her.

He tells her, “The manuscript is our story. I want to find out what happens next.”
They kiss big ones.

The movie kicks off with Coach Bombay working a mission for the Impossible Missions Force—IMF, if you will. He’s the guy in the chair while Agent Ethan Hunt is out in the field, getting important information from a target and then killing him—because sometimes, you gotta.

We then meet Jim Phillips, Ethan’s boss at the IMF. He receives the intel that Ethan retrieved. The team comes together to plan their next mission, and it’s a big one. An agent named Alexander has gone rogue and plans to steal a list of all undercover agents to sell to a buyer. The mission seems to be going according to plan.

After Alexander puts the list on a floppy disk, everything goes south. The agents begin getting killed—first Coach Bombay, then Jim Phillips. Even Ethan’s wife, Claire, is killed. To make matters worse, when Ethan finds Alexander, he’s already dead, and there’s nothing in his pocket.

In a haze, Ethan contacts the IMF and ends up meeting with the director, Eugene. Eugene explains that the entire mission was a decoy. Apparently, there’s an arms dealer known as “Max,” and the operation to steal the list was part of a mission called Job 314. Everyone was supposed to die. Eugene is suspicious of Ethan—especially since $120,000 mysteriously appeared in Ethan’s bank account. Realizing he’s in trouble, Ethan uses a piece of explosive gum (courtesy of Coach Bombay) to blow his way out and escape.

Ethan starts doing some research and reads the Bible, finding Job 3:14. He begins sending coded emails to every address he thinks could belong to Max.

He’s shocked when Claire shows up alive. Apparently, Jim warned her just before his death that the mission was compromised, so she faked her death to escape.

Ethan eventually gets a reply from Max with instructions on when to meet. He’s picked up in a car and taken to her—turns out Max is a woman. Ethan tells her the list she has is fake. She doesn’t believe him, but he warns her that inserting it will trigger a tracking device. When it turns out he’s telling the truth, Ethan offers her the real list in exchange for $10 million and the identity of the mole behind Job 314.

Max agrees and gives Ethan a $150,000 cash advance, which he uses to assemble a team of blacklisted agents, including computer expert Luther and pilot Franz.

The new team begins planning an elaborate mission to break into the CIA at Langley. In an absolutely iconic scene, Ethan is lowered from the ceiling to avoid pressure sensors and successfully steals the real list on a disc.

Back at the safe house, Franz tries to take the disc, but Ethan pulls off some sleight of hand and confuses him. He decides to trust Luther with the real disc.

Ethan learns that Eugene has arrested his parents. He calls him from a payphone and, after hanging up, sees Jim Phillips—somehow still alive. Jim claims that Eugene is the mole.

However, Ethan has already figured out that Jim is the traitor after realizing the Bible he used to look up the Job verse was stolen from the Drake Hotel in Chicago—where Jim once said he was stationed.

Ethan pretends to believe Jim and arranges a meeting with Max on a train to exchange the list. On the train, Ethan tells Max the list is beneath her seat, and she tells him where the money is stashed. Meanwhile, Luther jams the signal so she can’t upload the list.

Claire goes to collect her share from Jim but realizes too late that he’s actually Ethan in disguise. When the real Jim shows up and pulls a gun to take the money, Ethan streams the confrontation live to Eugene, exposing Jim as the mole.

Jim kills Claire and climbs to the roof of the train, trying to escape in a helicopter piloted by Franz. But Ethan also gets on the roof, hooks the chopper to the train, and forces it into a tunnel. Miraculously, it doesn’t crash immediately. Ethan jumps onto the helicopter and uses another piece of explosive gum to blow it up—of course, surviving the blast.

Eugene arrives, arrests Max, and recovers the list.

Ethan and Luther are reinstated in the IMF, though Ethan isn’t sure if he wants to return. On the flight home, a flight attendant approaches him and covertly offers a new mission—this time as team leader.
