Ellie is fresh back from her honeymoon and can’t wait to share her news with her best friends Katie and Jane. She's going to have a baby on Christmas day! To everyone’s surprise, mother-of-two, Jane, has news of her own… The women will be due a day apart, and Katie can’t wait to be an honorary aunt to the babies.
But as the months go on, everyone is finding it hard to keep their sense of humor, not to mention their self-esteem, in the face of swollen feet and pregnancy pants. Add a clingy mother-in-law, a career in cardiac arrest and a sex life that's making Mother Theresa look lusty, and soon the women's lives are as out of control as their bodies.

"The difficult thing about Christmas is that it doesn’t come all at once. It builds up like a festive virus until the immune system is overwhelmed. Every year I do my best to protect myself. I wash my hands of any Crimbo activities that aren’t strictly necessary. I don’t share merry drinks and I avoid carols wherever possible. Unfortunately, sometimes there’s such a virulent strain of yuletide that I’ve got no chance. This is one of those years."
Carol hates Christmas. Being recently dumped, she’s not crazy about weddings either. So her sister Marley’s nuptials, over the Christmas weekend, are making her positively Scrooge-like.
When she arrives for the weekend at the stately home in rural Scotland to find her three ex-boyfriends in attendance, Carol comes face-to-face (to face) with her past. That's not exactly the weekend, or the wedding date, she'd hoped for. As the snow falls outside and the fire crackles in the hearth, will Carol get her most wished-for gift?
So what is she supposed to do now that she’s rewound her life to start again?
She has no idea how to date anymore. It’s all gone online and with so much competition at the click of a button, her aging bosom might not be up to the job. People are waxing in places she can’t even reach and posting red carpet-worthy selfies every ten seconds.
She used to dream of a musical career but is only getting gigs as background music for drunks in pubs. And her ex is being a hundred times more charming in trying to win her back than he bothered to be when he had her.
Maybe grasping life with both hands won’t be so easy after all… Can she really become who she wants to be?
