When Kitty O’Brien moves into Tinsel Street with her two daughters just before Christmas, she throws a drinks party and invites her neighbours. But while Kitty is bringing the community together, her own life is falling apart.

When her partner Pat goes missing, the evidence doesn’t add up. Questioning their relationship, Kitty admits for the first time that maybe Pat is having an affair, just as she finds herself knee deep in organising the Tinsel Street Christmas party.

Meanwhile, neighbour Alison is baking like crazy for the party, but is having her own crisis, while others are doing their bit not only for the party, but for Joe, the squatter at number sixteen.

This is a story of friendship, love and humour, of people pulling together to help their neighbours, forging friendships that will last when Christmas is over.

But as Tinsel Street parties, Pat arrives. Can Kitty possibly bring her family together and resolve her own problems?
