It's Christmas at Button House and Mike is determined to make it perfect for his family. Alison wants to deliver the best Christmas ever for the living and the dead, though the dead aren't filled with festive cheer: Christmas just isn't that much fun when you're deceased. Then Julian is confronted with some past wrongs and has a revelation that could help the ghosts rediscover the real message of the season. Funny, silly and unexpectedly sweet, this is a sitcom special that works as a family watch, with jokes pitched at grown-ups. Settle in with the household.
