After the bee disaster that went viral around the world, Trevor Bingley (Rowan Atkinson) has traded his chaotic housesitting job for something calmer — working as a school caretaker. Everything seems peaceful… until the last day of term.

When no one shows up to collect the Baby Jesus prop from the school nativity play, Trevor suddenly finds himself in charge of an actual baby . At the same time, he’s offered a too-good-to-refuse Christmas gig: looking after a luxury London penthouse filled with priceless art and high-tech security.

Now, with a penthouse to protect and a baby to burp, Trevor faces the ultimate holiday test: Can he survive Christmas without burning down London or losing the baby?

“From diaper disasters to dinner explosions, Trevor’s calm Christmas turns into a comedic countdown to chaos.”
