When Noah goes to his bestfriend Gabriel's house to decorate Christmas ornaments, Gabriel says something that causes Noah to feel hurt and embarrassed. Noah learns an important lesson alongside his friend: everyone is allowed to like different things, and we should never “yuck someone else’s yum.”
Through compassion, understanding, and a little Christmas magic, the boys discover that true friendship means respecting each other’s choices and cheering on what makes one another happy.
