"Father Christmas Is Back" is a comedy centered around four very different sisters who have reunited for the Christmas Holiday in Caroline and Peter's Yorkshire mansion. Caroline Christmas-Hope (Nathalie Cox) is a control freak, who desires nothing more than a perfect Christmas to atone for the fact that their father, James (Kelsey Grammer), abandoned the whole family on Christmas Day, many years ago. Joanna Christmas (Elizabeth Hurley) is a fashion editor, who likes expensive clothes almost as much as she hates the countryside and children. She has brought along her new city boy lover, Felix (Ray Fearon) for the festivities. Vicky Christmas (Talulah Riley) is a man eater who changes boyfriends as often as most people change their underwear. Paulina Christmas (Naomi Frederick) is an introverted music professor who has been writing her PhD thesis on The Beatles for a decade. Also along for the festive rollercoaster ride is their butter-wouldn't-melt mother, Elizabeth Christmas (Caroline Quentin); their plain-speaking farmer uncle, John Christmas (John Cleese); Caroline's long-suffering husband, Peter (Kris Marshall); and their two children: prepubescent Daisy (Amelie Prescott) - (12), and chocolate-smothered Henry (Oliver Smith) - (7). The arrival of James , their long-lost father, and his 35-year-old American girlfriend Jackie (April Bowlby) ruins Caroline's hope for the perfect Christmas and sets off a series of mishaps, inconveniences and misconstrued misunderstandings that uncover the long-buried secret that tore their family apart, so many years ago.
