What is the plot of Christmas: Cabin Fever
Christmas is fast approaching. As this is the season of gift-giving, Greg Heffley must earn his parents’ favour to get something he’s always wanted – a new video gaming system. But troubles have their way of sneaking in, especially with Greg calling the shots.
When he and his best buddy Rowley inadvertently causes a snowball that destroys a snowplow, he needs to make sure that any evidence going back to him is erased.
As if it’s not enough trouble already, a massive blizzard wreaks havoc in the town, trapping Greg in the house with his family with no power and supplies that might not last.
Stuck at home, Greg needs to come up with a plan to cover up his mischief without anybody knowing, all while doing something unthinkable: spending Christmas entirely with his family!
