Paragraph 1 – A Holiday Reunion
Twenty years after their whirlwind romance in the Hamptons, Erica Barry (Diane Keaton) is now a celebrated playwright living a quiet, disciplined life in her oceanfront home. Harry Sanborn (Jack Nicholson), softened by age but still charmingly impossible, reappears just as Erica prepares a peaceful, family-only Christmas. Their daughter’s surprise announcement — that she’s getting married on Christmas Eve — brings Harry, Erica, and the entire messy family back under one snowy roof for the holiday. Sparks fly instantly… and not all of them are romantic.
Paragraph 2 – New Faces, New Complications
To Erica’s shock, the wedding planner hired for the event is the elegant and gently sarcastic Margot (Emma Thompson) — who seems dangerously compatible with Harry. Meanwhile, Erica crosses paths with Dr. Ethan Taylor (Keanu Reeves), now a renowned cardiologist and even more handsome than before, who is back in town to visit family. When Ethan asks Erica to dinner “as friends, unless she wants more,” she’s thrown into an emotional spiral she hasn’t felt in years. The arrival of a young, charismatic chef — Leo Matthews (Glen Powell) — who becomes instantly smitten with Erica, only adds to the chaos.
Paragraph 3 – Christmas Chaos & Confessions
As the wedding approaches, misunderstandings pile up: Harry panics at Margot’s quiet sophistication, Erica misreads Ethan’s intentions, and Leo keeps accidentally flirting at the worst possible moments. A disastrous Christmas rehearsal dinner erupts after a secret love letter — addressed to “the one who got away” — is found under the tree… but no one knows who wrote it or whom it was meant for. Snowstorms trap everyone inside the Hamptons house, forcing Erica and Harry to confront the painful truth: they never fully healed from the relationship they walked away from.
Paragraph 4 – A Christmas Choice
On Christmas morning, Erica finds Harry alone on the beach, shivering in a Santa hat he clearly didn’t intend to wear. In a quiet, heartfelt moment, he confesses the letter was his — meant for her — but he couldn’t find the courage to give it. Erica, finally honest with herself, admits she has spent years pretending she didn’t still care. At the wedding that night, as snow falls lightly over the ceremony, Erica chooses not between youth or nostalgia, but between fear and love. She and Harry dance slowly under the twinkling lights, laughing at how impossible and inevitable they are.
