Plot

After the events of the previous film, the Hughes and Taylor families agree to spend Christmas in the Austrian Alps. However, they are mixed up at the airport and the working-class Taylors end up in the posh Hugheses' luxury resort, while the latter end up in the former's sparse hostel. As their bags are also mixed up, Hayley finds an engagement ring in what she believes is James's luggage (actually his father's) and mistakenly assumes that James intends to propose.

After reuniting at the resort, they go skiing together, where the inexperienced Hayley has an accident while trying to impress James's childhood friend Bea. At a drunken night out, Hayley's father slips that Hayley expects him to propose, while Diane slips to Hayley that James may attend an American film school next year. Later that night, Hayley sees James practicing his proposal to Bea, and mistakenly assumes he is cheating on her. She rejects his proposal, convinced it was James's father who intended to propose. Assuming she will never fit in with James's posh upbringing, she breaks up with him, leaving the hotel with her family.

The next morning, the Hugheses set out for the hostel but have already missed the Taylors. At the airport, the Hugheses stop the plane so James can make up with Hayley and the two families spend Christmas at the resort. James's father tells him that the engagement ring (which belonged to his late mother) was never for Diane, but that he intended to pass it on to James for a future proposal to Hayley. Hayley however reveals that she wanted to propose to him all along, and James accepts.
