A neat freak Scrooge and a Christmas-loving ball of chaos must coexist for a week, and the friction and separation that ensue make the most magical time of the year highly remarkable.
After pumping her hard-earned savings into a business plan that doesn't pan out, Noel Anderson is left financially strapped and needs a way to earn money to stay afloat. She decides to rent her apartment as an Airbnb for the Christmas holidays while visiting her family for Christmas. What she didn't plan on was coming down ill and having to cancel the trip.
Kanton Joseph is on the cusp of securing a lucrative business deal. In order to get a one-up on his competition, he rents an Airbnb in the same apartment complex where his potential client resides. He's surprised when he shows up, and the owner of the Airbnb not only wants to cancel the reservation but is still occupying the space.
With great reluctance, Noel and Kanton agree to cohabitate for one week. Noel attempts to stay out of Kanton's way, but they undoubtedly cross paths, causing friction between them. They immediately clash on everything, most notably with their views on the holidays. Noel is determined to have a very Merry Christmas despite her temporary housemate, which is the source of Kanton's irritation.
Eventually, the two begin to soften toward each other and Kanton learns to view things through Noel's eyes.
Will the holiday magic fizzle, or will these two spark a connection they didn't realize they needed?

      Narrators Ebony Ford and Tony Roberts depict Noel Anderson and Kanton Joseph's meet-cute when their apartment share goes wrong. Ford's depiction of Atlanta-based Noel Anderson features a hint of a Southern accent, along with smooth, fluid phrasing. Ford accurately represents Noel's unwillingness to share space with Kanton, although listeners may find her deal with Kanton somewhat one-sided. Roberts's low-voiced narration indicates Kanton's driven, career-focused personality and his immediate attraction to Noel. However, Roberts's swift pace is sometimes too brisk to match Kanton's careful habits. The hesitancy both characters feel makes it difficult for the narrators to consistently convey the couple's chemistry. Both narrators voice secondary characters to support Noel and Kanton's budding relationship and shared holiday festivities. C.A. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
