Much like the last entry, The Christmas Setup marked a huge milestone for Lifetime as its first-ever LGBTQ+ holiday movie. Hugo, a successful lawyer, returns home for the holidays, and runs into his high school crush, Patrick. After some interference from Hugo's mother getting a bit too pushy about them dating, Hugo and Patrick start seeing each other. A serious wrench is thrown into the relationship when Hugo's boss offers him a promotion that will move him overseas. With this new dilemma in his hands, Hugo is forced to take a serious look at what he wants out of life.
