Olivia loves herself some miniatures. She makes these really neat custom mini Christmas villages. But it's just a hobby. She also helps run the family inn. She just made a miniature to honor her dad's famous Christmas market in town.

We then meet Greyson. An architect who is not allowed to show his flair and is feeling a bit frustrated at work.

Olivia and Greyson both find themselves at the train station where every train is delayed. They bump into each other and start talking and naturally end up decorating a tree in the train station. They take quite the liking to each other but she ends up having to run to catch her train while he's on a phone call. So she leaves her scarf on his briefcase but he doesn't see it and it falls to the ground.

The next day, she finds out that the owner of the land that the market is on is planning to sell. When she goes to talk to the owner about this, guess who shows up - it's Greyson to talk about his plans for the land. When she hears this, she really turns on him. He insists that he's not trying to ruin anything, he's just doing his job. She shows him what all would be lost if they can't do the market anymore and they insist he buys something from all the booths to help out.

It doesn't take long for him to realize just how special the village is. So they work together to come up with a design that'll work for everyone and save the market. When his dad finds out about this, he's not pleased. Just do your daggum job!

They rework the plan to make the building a co-working space with the market outside which will save them money due to tax breaks and stuff like that. He ends up resigning from the business and she pitches the plan and his dad goes for it. Everyone also encourages her to open a miniatures art space and follow her passions. He tells her that Greyson has a layover at the train station in Philly where they met. So she rushes to catch him and they end up kisssingggggg.

The movies in 1995 with a normal family living in Ohio, including two young girls. One day, the dad comes home and is like it’s time to go on a big adventure. They pack quickly get in the car and speed off just as the cops are starting to show up. Turns out, this isn’t a normal family. It’s Russian super soldier Alexei and his Black Widow operative wife. Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova pose as their daughters while they’re working undercover. With valuable S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence in hand, they flee to Cuba and Via montage, we see Natasha and Yelana being trained up by the Red Room become Black Widows. 

21 years later, Natasha is on the run after violating the Sokovia Accords. She goes to a safehouse when at the same time, Yelena kills a rogue former Widow but is exposed to a synthetic antidote that frees her from the Red Room’s chemical mind control. Hoping Natasha and the Avengers can help free the remaining Widows, Yelena sends several antidote vials to Natasha before going into hiding. While unknowingly transporting the vials, Natasha is ambushed by the mysterious masked person named The Taskmaster. After escaping, she reunites with Yelena and learns about what’s still going on.

Determined to destroy the Red Room, Natasha and Yelena free their ol papa Alexei from prison, hoping he knows where the Red Room leader is at. He directs them to their ol mama Melina, who lives on a farm. 

Although Melina secretly alerts Dreykov, Natasha convinces her to switch sides, and the two use advanced face-mask technology to exchange identities before being taken to the Red Room in the sky. 

Dreykov quickly realizes Natasha’s disguise. Natasha discovers that every Widow is biologically unable to harm Dreykov because of a pheromone lock, so she deliberately breaks her own nose to sever her sense of smell and overcome the conditioning.

Dreykov attempts to escape while the remaining Widows attack Natasha, but Yelena releases the antidote gas, freeing them from Dreykov’s control. Natasha copies the locations of Widows stationed around the world from Dreykov’s computer as the damaged facility begins to collapse. She rescues the remaining antidote vials and frees Taskmaster. Natasha gives the viral and the locations of the remaining widows to Yelena so she can rescue the others. 

Natasha goes to free the imprisoned Avengers.

Cut to after Natasha’s death, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine visits Yelena at Natasha’s grave. Claiming that Clint Barton is responsible for Natasha’s death, Yelena now has her next target.

The next day, they're out trying to make a snowman with the little snow that's on the ground but Eddie comes by and steps on it when he gets out of his truck. He delivers a present from their grandparents. On the outside of it, there's a note about them coming for Christmas for a carnival. Julia says they can't go there for Christmas. Eddie is not thrilled to find out that Rhonda is a mom.

After overhearing their mom admit that she desperately needs a break from them, the girls decide to run away and spend Christmas with their grandparents.

Their plan quickly goes off the rails when they realize they can't cross the street. So they decide to hop on the bus but it only travels downtown. So they start wandering around the city and end up finding Eddie. They secretly climb into the back of his truck cuz surely he's going to grandmother's house.

But they need to use the restroom and that's when Eddie discovers them. Eddie enjoys hanging with the girls and ends up buying a lottery ticket using the girls' birthdates as his numbers.

Back home, the girls' babysitter realizes they've disappeared and calls Rhonda. Eddie calls Rhonda and says he's gonna bring them home. But just as he's about to do that, his delivery truck is stolen—with Sarah and Julie still inside.

The thieves, Harvey and Shirley, are shocked to discover two little girls in the back of the truck. Seeing an opportunity to make real money, they decide they're gonna try to get a ransom for the girls. They convince the girls they're taking them to grandmother's house.

Shirley calls Rhonda and demands $10,000 in cash, arranging the exchange at the ice rink in Edgemont and instructing Rhonda to wear a red hat.

Rhonda and Eddie pawn the contents of the delivery packages Eddie was supposed to deliver to get the $10,000.

A detective hears about all these pawns and assumes that Eddie and Rhonda must be the criminals they've been looking for that have been stealing stuff. Turns out, they're really looking for Harvey and Shirley.

Harvey accidentally reveals that they aren't actually taking the twins to their grandmother's house, so they run away just as Rhonda shows up to pick up the girls.

The detective shows up to arrest Eddie and Rhonda, still convinced they're the kidnappers, but Harvey confesses to everything to free them.

They make it to the lottery drawing and they win big bucks and Eddie and Rhonda kiss. They use the money to return every pawned package to its rightful owner and spend Christmas together.
