Christmas Incorporated

The film begins with Riley Vance struggling to find work in New York City, facing a corporate culture that refuses to hire the unemployed. Through a stroke of luck, she hears about an opening for an assistant to William Young, the heir to Young Incorporated. During the interview process, a mix-up occurs: Amanda Sage, William's advisor, calls for 'Riley V.,' intending to interview an Ivy League candidate named Riley Vanarden. Riley Vance answers instead and impresses Amanda by fixing a crooked star on the office Christmas tree and demonstrating sharp financial instincts. William Young, burdened by his late father's legacy, plans to close the company's flagship toy factory in Dover, New Hampshire, to satisfy shareholders. Riley challenges this decision, suggesting he visit the factory first. William, intrigued by her boldness, hires her on the spot. Upon arriving in Dover, the story takes a comedic turn when William is arrested by the local Sheriff for driving without his license. After being released, William and Riley settle into a local house that Riley has enthusiastically decorated, much to the chagrin of William, who has avoided Christmas since the death of his grandmother. At the factory, they meet Mayor Keegan and the workers, who are desperate to keep their jobs. Riley notices an obsolete teddy bear named Jeffrey and proposes rebranding it as the 'Christmas Wishing Bear,' a product that allows people to share hope. They launch a grassroots social media campaign that gains national attention. As they work together, William and Riley bond over ice skating and a 'Chicken on the Ritz' dinner. William reveals that his father never allowed him to be a child, grooming him only for business. However, the romance is threatened by Rebecca Neston, a local reporter looking for a big break. Rebecca discovers the resume mix-up and exposes Riley's true identity as a non-Ivy League 'imposter' during a public event. Feeling betrayed, William fires Riley, who returns home to her parents in Exeter. In the resolution, Mayor Keegan and Amanda Sage help William realize that Riley's contributions were genuine regardless of her name. William travels to Riley's hometown to apologize and win her back. He decides to save the factory by purchasing the remaining inventory himself and offers Riley a position running her own consulting firm. The film concludes with the two sharing a kiss on Christmas Eve, having saved the town and found true partnership.
