We discuss the ending of the Prime Video film Your Christmas or Mine? and will contain spoilers.

Christmas movie season is set to get the best of us across all streaming platforms. Prime Video joins the fun with Your Christmas or Mine? The film is based on a couple that is off to their respective families for the holidays. Both of them decide to surprise each other by coming to their Christmas gatherings, causing one big mix-up. The big question is, do Hayley and James end up back together on Christmas? Let’s dive in.

Your Christmas or Mine? does have some of the same beats as other Christmas romcoms that we have seen in the past. However, what stood out here was the well-written script that provided some interesting stakes within the relationship between James and Hayley. Once both characters learn they went to each other’s homes, they begin peeling back the layers of stuff they didn’t know.

First, you have James, whose father is a Lord and lives in this massive castle. Then you have Hayley, whose family is quite spirited and fun. Each of them has difficulty keeping the secret that they are a couple. Hayley struggles with James’s father, who is a bit of a grump. James struggles to fit in with the rambunctious group that is Hayley’s family. Finally, as the pair are ready to part from where they are, the trains have been shut down because of bad weather.

The big question was whether they could make it back to each other before Christmas. The short answer is yes, but how they got to that point wasn’t easy for either of them.

While spending time with Hayley’s family, Steve arrives, and that’s when we find out that he is Hayley’s finance. Of course, this threw James for a complete loop because he thought he was dating Hayley but was in love with her. The family gathers around to play games; this is where Steve gets under James’s skin, causing him to snap. In the middle of this happening, Hayley calls home, and Steve answers the phone. We find out at this moment Hayley and Steve were broken up. However, Steve plays it up like she is cool with him being there. Moments later, James snaps and expose’s the truth.

At James’s dad’s house, Hayley struggled with James’s father because he was a bit of a grinch. It was a cold house during the holidays because his wife had passed away. Attempting to bring some holiday cheer, Hayley decorates the house, which infuriates James’s dad. He snaps at her, leading to her having enough and leaving.

As the movie starts to come to an end, Hayley’s dad decides he will do right by James and drive him to his dad’s. However, Hayley’s mom said the whole crew would go before they could go. Upon arriving at James’s dad’s castle (everyone was in awe), one thing leads to another, and we get a reuniting of the cute couple. Everyone heads back to Hayley’s house, and the couple tells each other they love each other and have a big Christmas dinner together.
