The opening of the movie shows Layla at the airport for her flight which gets canceled so she goes to the lounge where she meets James. After they see themselves feeling connected to an extent James suggests they should meet at the Pentatonix festival next Christmas in case they both are single. A year passes and when Layla finds her current boyfriend cheating on her she decides that meeting James might be her fate. But the problem was she did not have the tickets to the concert this year as her boyfriend wished to see Macklemore instead. After numerous failed attempts to get a ticket, she meets Teddy, a personal concierge who has to help her if he needs his job. 

Did Layla Reach James?

Teddy does his best in order to somehow get a ticket to the Pentatonix concert for Layla and goes as far as participating in a lip-syncing contest to win the tickets and blowing up the DMs of Pentatonix hoping they will help them out of this situation, it becomes pretty obvious to the audience that the two have started developing feelings for each other. Layla now has a choice, either go to the concert and find James or be with Teddy instead. Layla eventually realizes that her feelings for Teddy are real despite her trying so hard to reach James. Surprisingly, in the end, the couple does get tickets to the concert on the condition that Teddy perform on the stage as Santa. Teddy planned a proposal on the stage after the performance for Layla and even overcame his fear of heights for her. James after seeing Layla run to the stage for Teddy did not feel heartbroken as he had his own girlfriend with him. The movie ends with a message that people’s fate depends on the choices they make, and they are responsible for finding their own happiness just as Layla and James did by making their own choices.
