(from Hallmark's press release, March 2009) Willful Oregon teenager Rock Burdock (Evan Williams, "Save the Last Dance 2") wins a national Christmas tree contest and convinces Corey (Andrew McCarthy, "Lipstick Jungle"), his overprotective father, to move the fifteen-year-old tree that commemorates Rock's birth to Washington, D.C.

Although not excited about the idea, Rock agrees, and the journey turns out to be an adventure that strengthens the bonds between father and son.
