About this episode
Watch on Philo! Philo.tv/DTH For King + Country's A Drummer Boy Christmas LIVE - in theaters December 5-9, 2024! VisitGreenvilleSC.com/Things-To-Do/Winter/ The movie starts with a fun fashion title card. We meet Celeste, who wants to be a hot-shot designer, but her boss doesn't even know she exists! She comes home and is shocked to find her boyfriend, Jason, there. He surprises her with a quick one-hour Christmas celebration. He asks Celeste if he can come home with her for Christmas and book a first-class flight, which he is able to do because he knows people. Celeste’s family is kind of royalty in this small town—her dad is the pastor, and her mom is the mayor. Pastor Mark puts together a Christmas festival, and he really wants his daughter to end up with her hunky ex-boyfriend, Dean. So when she shows up with boyfriend Jason, Pastor Mark is less than thrilled. He reluctantly allows Jason to stay in their basement. When they find out that his church is going to be remodeled in the new year, Celeste gets a little sad because she always wanted to get married in the church she grew up in. So, Jason gets down on one knee and proposes that they get married on Christmas Eve. Pastor Mark is not thrilled. Neither is Dean, when he shows up with flowers and is very confused. Jason is concerned when he finds out that they have to go through Pastor Mark's marriage boot camp... and I mean, fair. And this boot camp is intense—day one involves gingerbread house building. Day two? A blindfolded golf cart race. All the important pre-marital counseling activities. They are really up against it, but it doesn't seem to be bothering them. In fact, Celeste seems to be thriving, wheeling and dealing. Pastor Mark seems to be letting Jason in a little bit. They even go out for eggnog. But Pastor Mark just can't bear the thought of his daughter moving away forever, so he keeps acting like a little baby boy. Jason's parents come into town, and Pastor Mark tells Celeste and Jason that they have to make dinner for everyone. They're all going to be really mean to them for no reason. Celeste gets a call that she’s gotten her dream job back in NYC. When Pastor Mark finds out, he acts like a ding-dong, and everyone gets mad at him and tells him he's being an awful father. There's a misunderstanding when Jason sees Celeste hugging Dean, but it doesn’t really matter. Pastor Mark finally tells his daughter that he's sorry for being a jerk. They wake up, still get married, and dance. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtube Interested in advertising on the show?
