An Accidental Christmas is a story about a long-married couple with kids who have separated and are trying to move on with their life. At least, the mother is. She is pursuing a career for the first time in her life. The father seems to want to get back with the mother. The kids intervene and set it up so that both parents unknowingly end up at their family beach house for the holidays. Where.... surprise, surprise, they resist at first but soon realize that they haven't grown as far apart as they thought and will work things out and live happily ever after. At least until the holidays end and reality sets in again. I didn't enjoy it that much. The acting was just so-so. The plotlines were kind of silly and the mom seemed kind of annoying, like why would you want to get back with her? Also, millions of people figure out how they can be a mom/wife and also pursue their career so I didn't empathize with her plight too much.
