Eager to impress China's super-rich beau/presumed fiancé Bobby (Shannon Williams), Lilian forces Margaret to work on Christmas instead of celebrating with her family. The members of the Mansell family-who can be identified without fear of stereotyping as mean mother Lilian ( Chandra Currelley-Young), pompous father John (Maurice Lauchner), restless daughter China ( Támar Davis), and virginal son Japan (Zuri Craig)-prepare for the holiday feast with the help of their saintly maid Margaret ( Cheryl Pepsii Riley) and their mouthy chef Hattie (Patrice Lovely).
