What unfolds is a comedic mix-up where nothing quite goes as planned, and Christmas morning brings some unexpected consequences for everyone involved.

When Tommy's obnoxious houseguest Thornton Flubworthy the 2nd arrives—a snobby young man whose father's business merger means everything to Tippy's dad—the pretentious visitor immediately makes himself unwelcome by insulting the family and the house. As Thornton's arrogant behavior and early-morning golf practice wreak havoc on the household, Tippy watches the situation spiral with grim satisfaction. Things take an unexpected turn when news arrives that could change everything.

When a smooth-talking newcomer named Oliver arrives in town and starts lavishing Tippy with elaborate compliments, Tommy and his pal Animal see their chance with her slipping away fast.

A clever tale of teen romance and comeuppance wrapped in 1960s humor.

Tommy's attempt to stay out of Go-Go and Animal's relationship drama backfires spectacularly when Tippy decides to play peacemaker at the Sweet Shoppe—and ends up making everything worse. As misunderstandings pile up and accusations fly, the whole situation spirals into chaos, leaving Tommy to wonder what hit him.

When Tippy shows up to school sporting an eye patch due to a medical condition, she's mortified about being the center of attention—but her classmate Peggy sees an opportunity to start a trend first for once.
