When Snow Davis comes home from NYU his sophomore year, he's expecting the same, cookie-cutter Christmas that his family has had since he was five. The neighborhood will obsess over the light display his parents put up, and his mother will conquer the town of Morris, Connecticut just like she always has.
This year, though, the Wills family moved in next door. They like decorating, too, and as far as Snow is concerned, the display is adorable. But his mom, well... she's not one to share the spotlight.
The only problem is that the Wills family is ridiculously kind. Especially Micah, who's so gorgeous, Snow doesn't even wanna look at him.
