Inspired by the big band era, CHRISTMAS AIN’T A DRAG tells the tale of four lonely individuals whose lives intersect at a nightclub on Christmas Eve. Brad has lost love and is eager to find it. Holly is always looking for love but never seems to hold on to it. Trish has walled herself away from love. And, Nick is trying to break those walls down.

Then there’s Benedict, the owner of the club – a bah humbug kinda’ guy. In the end, love conquers all! They discover love and the magic of the holiday – proving Christmas should never be a Drag!
