CERRADO

i came home/came to visit you for the holidays from out of town a few days earlier than planned as a surprise only to find you in bed with someone else

we’re exes and our friend group is getting together to celebrate the holidays, either doing activities in our hometown or maybe taking a group trip to a ski resort or something — maybe there’s even new significant other(s) involved

i know we’re broken up but i haven’t told my parents yet and they still think you’re coming home with me for the holidays. please?

we’re broken up but we booked a vacation for the holidays before we ended things and it’s too late to cancel it, so we’re not letting it go to waste

i’m from the big city coming back to my small town for christmas and you hate everything that i embody, basically the plot of every hallmark christmas movie ever

you’re dating my sibling and you’ve come to stay with us for the holidays, but i have feelings for you

we’re both university students living in our dorms and i can’t afford/have no reason to go home for the holidays and neither do you, so we spend it together

𝘰𝘩, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘺

❄ muse a is sick of their family making fun of them and saying that they’re going to end up with 28 cats someday at every family gathering they’ve ever attended. enter muse b, a charismatic (and sometimes flirty) coworker who muse a pays to be their “date” for the holidays optional: “oops, i just kissed you in front of my family because they were pestering us and i’m not sure if you felt what i did, but wow”

❄ muse a is throwing a christmas party and now it’s almost 4 am and the music still hasn’t stopped and, frankly, muse b is over it

❄ muse a slips and falls on a patch of ice on their way to buy some egg nog & cookie dough and thinks their wrist might be broken. muse b happens to be walking by as this happens and initially laughs at muse a for being so clumsy before realizing it might be serious and now they’re the asshole who laughed at a hurt person

❄ muse a’s car breaks down in a small town they’re passing through to get to their parents’ house for thanksgiving/christmas dinner. muse b works in the restaurant right down the street that muse a happens to walk into to borrow a phone, but comes to find out that there’s no mechanic doing business this late at night/this close to the holidays, but muse b offers to help (could offer to fix the car/drive muse a to their parents’ it’s really up to you)

❄ muse a and muse b are in the same friend group and everyone has been trying to get them together for months. cue the christmas party where the two are - quite literally - shoved under an arch with mistletoe hanging over them

❄ muse a and muse b are coworkers who never really got along, but at the office holiday party they both get a little too drunk and end up in the same bed the next morning

❄ muse a doesn’t have a significant other to kiss at midnight, as usual. new year’s comes along and they decide to all go downtown and barhop for the night. when the countdown rolls around, muse a still has no one, until muse b grabs them and kisses them as the clock hits 12. optional: they never exchange names or numbers, but muse a goes back to that same bar the following new year’s with the hopes that muse b maybe wanted to see them again, too
