In a snowbound Vermont town, the annual Christmas Bar Trivia Tournament is the highlight of the season, when locals and faculty swap finals stress for festive wagers and clever answers. Celeste, a once-ambitious quiz-bowl veteran who returned home after a career setback, reluctantly agrees to captain an unlikely ragtag team of bartenders, professors, and holiday regulars. As they train in the glow of string lights and spiked eggnog, old rivalries and buried dreams surface, turning the competition into a chance to prove who they are to themselves and to each other.
Between rapid-fire questions and warmhearted banter, friendships are rekindled and a slow-burn romance with a fellow trivia enthusiast begins to thaw Celeste’s guarded heart. Easygoing humor blends with gentle holiday sentiment as the town rallies around one another, showing that winning isn’t just about the prize but about belonging. With cozy small-town charm, playful stakes, and a soundtrack of yuletide cheer, this is a feel-good tale about second chances, community, and the surprising ways people come together when the answers matter most.
