[close] A new take on a familiar holiday classic, "This Christmas" is about Ned Matthews, a college student haunted by his last boyfriend's infidelity. Ned would rather wallow in self-pity than spend Christmas with Bobby Cratchett, the boy next door and Ned's old high school crush, despite the fact that the two of them are the only students left on campus for the holiday break.

Amid memories of Christmases past and the emptiness of the present evening, Ned realizes that he isn't the only one alone on this wintry night. Can Bobby somehow break through Ned's defenses to show him Christmas is better spent with someone you've always wanted to love? [close]
