Storyline
On Christmas Eve in Laurel, Illinois, Julie Reyes runs into rising pop star Stuart Bale on her train home. He mistakes her for a fan when she tries to return his phone to him, to which she takes offense, despite his apologies. After the train is stopped by snowed-over tracks, Julie gets off to walk home.
Stuart joins Julie, offering lunch at a local diner called Waffle Town. She reluctantly agrees and later has to save him from a group of fangirl cheerleaders. Stuart opens up about how his fame has isolated him during the holidays. Julie reveals she got accepted to Columbia but her mom is also sick from cancer. If she delays leaving, she will lose the scholarship.
They go sledding and meet Julie's mother, Debbie. Going to their house, Stuart is introduced to her grandpa and they bond over Mick Jagger. Everyone dances to one of his songs. While dancing, Debbie has a coughing fit, causing Julie concern.
Stuart offers to get a nurse for her mom, offending Julie. He dismisses her concerns, stating he offered it because he cares about her. They almost kiss before Stuart's publicist shows up to take him back to his hotel. He asks Julie to come with him, but she declines, feeling a need to stay with her mother.
Across town, Waffle Town employee Dorrie tries to juggle her best friend Addie, who is convinced her boyfriend is going to break up with her, and Kerry, a cheerleader Dorrie hooked up with. Kerry visits the diner with her friends and pretends not to know Dorrie; Addie makes a scene with her boyfriend in the diner. Dorrie tries to calm her down, but she storms off.
Later, Dorrie and Kerry meet in the bathroom, kissing passionately. Dorrie tells her coworker Keon that Kerry will probably be at his party. Meanwhile, Tobin plans to tell his best friend, Angie aka 'The Duke', he likes her. They are invited to a party by Duke's friend, JP, whom Tobin sees as competition.
The three steal the keg from the party, ending up in a ditch. Waiting for the tow truck in a nearby church, Duke has Tobin play "Whole of the Moon", but when JP and Duke start dancing together, Tobin leaves. She attempts to talk to him about it, but he brushes her off, angering her.
Tobin's friend Keon attempts to throw a party at his house to impress a big time DJ, but his parents shut down the party attempt and he gets called into work at Waffle Town. His friend and co-worker Billy offers the restaurant as a party spot, provided Keon gets the necessary supplies. Back at home, Julie's mom convinces her to go to Columbia, stating, "When life offers you something special, you take it." Everyone ends up at Keon's party after Tobin arrives with the stolen keg. Duke comes and Tobin confesses his love for her, to which she admits the same.
Addie returns to Waffle Town and apologizes to Dorrie for her rude behavior. Kerry also apologizes to her for being hot and cold, explaining she has not come out yet, then kisses Dorrie in the open, so they begin a relationship. Dorrie and Julie are telling each other about their day when Stuart returns, wanting to see Julie again before he leaves town. They kiss and make plans to meet in New York when she is at Columbia. Keon's party ends up a success, despite the DJ not showing, and they dance all night long.
