The Brockmans hope to get away for the holiday, but Granddad's sudden illness and trip to the worst hospital ever threatens their plans.
It is Christmas Day and the Brockmans have decided to escape the festivities and head for Tenerife. However, Grandad has been taken ill, and is languishing in hospital. Karen has a toothache, so is taken to the dentist. Ben is intent on getting into the Guinness World Records - preferably involving knives. Their ditsy friend Jane and her boyfriend Jason are going to be looking after the house. Pete tells Jane that Jason has served a prison sentence, so after he arrives he argues with Jane and angrily leaves. Sue finds out that it was actually Jane's previous boyfriend Jeremy who had been to prison. Sue phones Jane, then Jason - to apologise and explain the misunderstanding. As they try to get to the airport, traffic is held up by two Father Christmases having a fight on the road.
The Brockman family have decided to foster a sense of community by throwing a Christmas party for their neighbours (some of the guests dropped out because of a winter vomiting bug). Festivities do not go as smoothly as planned. Gran springs a surprise visit on the family, an unwell Jane shows up, whilst Jake seems to have fallen in with the wrong crowd. Karen would rather be playing online poker (illegally) than taking part in the celebrations, while Ben is enthusiastically left in charge of the party games, ranging from Swingball to blind football. As the party goes on, Pete gets locked in a bathroom with Jane, one guest's marriage falls apart and there is a visit by a police officer.
Inspired by writer, director, and star Aml Ameen's life, 'Boxing Day' follows Melvin (Ameen), a British author living in America, who returns home to London for Christmas to introduce his American fiancée Lisa (King) to his eccentric British-Caribbean family. Their relationship is put to the test as she discovers the world her fiancé has left behind.
Shop girl Agnes is stuck running her father's candy shop and keeping the family peace. She draws the interest of upper-class Charles. Her sister, Jessie, gets involved with a dock worker that her parents don't approve of.
It's Boxing Day and already Karen is making New Year resolutions - chiefly for others - and the family have been burgled,though selectively,causing Sue to cheat on the insurance claim. Sue and Jake go to collect Grandad from the retirement home where he now lives,only to find he has sloped off to the pub again with Scots mate Mac. Sue ends up asking Mac back for dinner though his thick accent creates a language barrier for Karen. Sue's divorced friend Jane is also invited and though the children fail to appreciate her present for them,a goat donated to Oxfam,Pete feels sorry for her and is glad that the Brockmans have given a Christmas to lonely strangers - until a W.P.C. turns up with another old boy who has gone walkabout.
