The
Kranks
have
always
celebrated
a
picture-perfect
Christmas.
But
with
their
only
daughter,
Blair
(Julie
Gonzalo),
away
from
home
on
her
Peace
Corps
assignment,
Nora
(Jamie
Lee
Curtis)
and
Luther
(Tim
Allen)
are
suffering
from
empty
nest
syndrome
and
decide
to
skip
Christmas
in
favour
of a
Caribbean
cruise.
But
their
neighbours,
led
by
Vic
Frohmeyer
(Dan
Akroyd),
take
Christmas
very
seriously
and
are
none
too
happy
about
the
Kranks'
boycott.
In
this
neighbourhood
where
every
house
is
decorated
to
the
hilt
and
has
a
Frosty
on
the
roof,
skipping
Christmas
is
virtually
a
crime.
And
just
as
the
Kranks
are
preparing
for
their
Christmas
Day
departure,
they
get
a
call
from
their
daughter
who
announces
that
she
is
coming
home
for
Christmas
after
all.
Suddenly,
all
systems
are
go
for
their
annual
Christmas
Eve
party
and
a
normal
-
highly
festive
-
holiday.
Will
the
Kranks
be
able
to
pull
together
a
perfect
Christmas
for
Blair
in
just
a
few
hours,
or
will
she
discover
their
plan
to
skip
Christmas?
