Corey Burdock (Andrew McCarthy) planted a Sitka Spruce when his son Rock (Evan Williams) was born.
But when he is a teenager Rock gets a visit from a
woman called Faith (Kari Matchett) who tells him that his tree has been chosen to be
planted outside the White House as the new National Christmas Tree after its
predecessor was struck by lightning.
However Corey is reluctant to go along with it
and will only agree is he and his son deliver the Tree across the country by
road which he hopes will give them the chance to bond.
It doesn’t quite work out that way but they do
have some adventures along the way and there is something surprising at the end
of it.
