Ein Paar, das kurz vor der Scheidung steht, widmet sich einem letzten gemeinsamen Projekt: Sie restaurieren ein historisches Hotel. Ihre zwei Kinder entdecken beim Spielen in der Ruine eine Sammlung von Briefen eines Liebespaares, das sich niemals wirklich begegnet ist. Die Kids schmieden in Letters at Christmas einen Plan: Sie wollen eine Scharade spielen und die große Romanze der Briefschreiber mit den eigenen Eltern reinszenieren.
