One Big Happy Family by Susan Mallery

aired the week of December 22, 2025

One Big Happy Family by Susan Mallery is not your typical schmaltzy Christmas romance.  Julie Parker is planning on a quiet Christmas with her new boyfriend until her adult children decide they need to celebrate together to bring closure after their father's death earlier that year.  Add in Julie's younger boyfriend Heath's two young children, his ex-wife who just got dumped, Julie's new daughter-in-law, her uncle and the mother she is fighting with along with a family friend and you have one cabin full of chaos.  Throw in a couple of arguments, one meltdown, a trip to the ER and a couple of difficult personalities and you have a recipe for a family Christmas no one will ever forget!
