Summary

Meet the Icicles: unpredictable, exciting, comedic, and festive.


When Jonah Icicle decides to spend Christmas with his family and introduces his new boyfriend Sandy, everyone reacts differently. His mother Pam is combative, always judgmental to a fault, obnoxious, and loud. Jonah's sister Willa adores the new man in her brother's life and feels he will be a key player in their close unit. Willa's husband Bobo suffers from hypersexuality and unfortunately can't keep his hands off Sandy. And Jake, Jonah's brother and Pam's favorite son, is more interested in his marijuana than his relatives.


As the snow flies and the electricity goes out, the Icicles fight, hug, and laugh. Can they welcome the holiday spirit -- and Sandy -- into their lives?
