On a snowy Christmas Eve, in the Alpha Kappa Gamma sorority house, the evening begins innocently as Lauren prepares to change into her pajamas. Meanwhile, Clair Crosby is writing a card to her half-sister, Leigh, when she hears an unsettling noise from her closet. Upon checking, she finds only clothes, but soon her fountain pen goes missing. Tragedy strikes when a mysterious figure surprises her, wrapping a bag around her head and stabbing her in the eye with her own pen.

Just a short distance away in a mental institution, Billy Lenz is confined within his cell, decorated for the holidays. As he receives his Christmas dinner, he engages in a sinister game with the security guard, ultimately escaping by delivering a shocking gift wrapped in newspaper—bearing the ominous message, “I’ll be home for Christmas.” As the guard investigates, he meets his gruesome end at the hands of Billy, who steals a Santa costume, leaving chaos in his wake.

In the sorority house, Kelli Presley is excited to spend Christmas with her friends, including her close companion Melissa Kitt and housemates Heather Fitzgerald, Dana Mathis, and the beloved house mother, Ms. MacHenry. They excitedly begin a secret Santa gift exchange while grappling with the dark past of Billy, who committed heinous acts in the very house they now occupy. As the chilling story unfolds, the girls learn the horrific details of Billy’s troubled childhood and his mother’s neglect.

Suddenly, the house’s festive atmosphere becomes a nightmare. When a mysterious snow globe tune echoes through the attic, Megan Helms discovers a shocking sight—Clair’s lifeless body. The grim reality hits hard as the group attempts to figure out who is behind the series of terrifying events. Startled by prank calls and stabbings, they are unprepared for the horrific fate that awaits them.

As the night goes on, the girls face escalating violence, with no one safe from the lurking presence. Deaths occur in rapid succession, including the gut-wrenching moment when a figure pulls Melissa into darkness. Panic rises as the friends race to uncover the truth behind the haunted sorority house before it’s too late. Just when it seems help will arrive, their desperate cries and attempts to remain together lead to heart-stopping confrontations with their unseen assailant.

When Kelli and Leigh’s alliance proves stronger, they manage to fight back against Billy and Agnes, Billy’s twisted sibling, in a final showdown that threatens to consume them in its chaos. Just as hope flickers—a burning Christmas tree in the attic ignites, taking down their assailants in a blaze of fury. In a chilling aftermath, Kelli is left in a hospital, only to realize that the nightmare may not be over.

As Leigh opens a present from Clair—a watch inscribed with “Family Forever,” the potential for warmth turns to horror, with Agnes lurking to snatch away the last remnants of safety. In a gripping conclusion, they fight to survive against the odds, discovering that sometimes the past has a way of returning to haunt you, leading to a climax that leaves viewers stunned as the credits roll.
