Cara Shine Ballarini and Rebecca Miller of Good Pals are producing along with Shaun Sanghani of SSS Entertainment. Sanghani also financed through his credit facility SSS Film Capital. The trio first worked together on the critically acclaimed school shooting drama The Fallout that starred Jenna Ortega and picked up by HBO MAX in 2021.

The plot involves a woman (Snow) who sets out a well-intentioned plan of bringing together her dysfunctional family in the wake of the family’s matriarch, her mother-in-law. She deceives her husband (Bravo) and others in to believe their mother left rules for the family to follow in the lead up to Christmas. Wanting to believe their mother left some guidance to help heal the wounds of her absence, the family comes together and follows the rules to the letter.
