Switched for Christmas

The film opens by introducing the starkly different lives of identical twins Kate and Chris Lockhart. Kate is a high-powered Senior VP of Project Development in Denver, currently tasked with planning a corporate Christmas party she despises. Chris is a divorced art teacher and mother of two in Littleton, struggling with a demanding principal and the planning of the town's 'Winter Wonderland' festival. During a mandatory 'sister brunch' requested by their late mother, the two vent about their stresses and decide to switch places for the week. Kate moves into Chris's suburban home, while Chris takes over Kate's luxury condo and corporate responsibilities. In Littleton, Kate encounters Tom Kinder, a former high school crush who is now the festival's wealthy sponsor. She also discovers that Chris's children, Piper and Gabe, immediately realize she is their aunt because their mother told them about the switch, though they agree to keep the secret. Kate struggles with domestic chores like laundry and cooking but finds herself falling for Tom. Meanwhile, in Denver, Chris works closely with an architect named Greg on the office party. She uses her artistic background to save Kate's failing 'Jasper Tower' project by suggesting family-friendly design changes to the client, Jasper, who is thrilled by the 'homey' touch. As the week progresses, both sisters find that their 'easy' alternatives are actually quite difficult. Chris finds herself genuinely attracted to Greg, while Kate realizes she missed out on a life of family and community. The central conflict escalates when Greg kisses Chris, thinking she is Kate. Overwhelmed by guilt, Chris confesses the truth to Greg, explaining the switch. Simultaneously, Kate and Tom reconcile a decade-old misunderstanding; Tom reveals he didn't stand Kate up years ago, but rather saw her (actually Chris during a previous switch) kissing another man. The truth comes out at the Winter Wonderland carnival where both couples and the father, Ed, converge. After a brief period of tension, the men realize they love the sisters for who they truly are. The film concludes with the family reuniting on the ice rink, the sisters receiving final Christmas gifts from their late mother, and both couples finding lasting romance.
