Ex-Mas Eve is a Christmas-themed movie from 2006 that tells the story of four friends: Sean (played by Joshua Mims), Mark (played by Jefferson Smith), Tom (played by Bret Terrill), and Dave (played by Lori Lewis). The friends, who haven't seen each other in a while, decide to reunite on Christmas Eve and spend the night together. The movie takes place in a small town, where snow is falling and the spirit of Christmas is in the air. The four friends meet up at a local diner, where they catch up on each other's lives and reminisce about old times. Sean is a struggling artist who's trying to make it in New York City, Mark is a successful businessman who's married with children, Tom is a stay-at-home dad who's trying to write a novel, and Dave is a single mom who's raising a teenage daughter.
As the night progresses, the friends take a walk through town and stumble upon a homeless man (played by D.J. Mills) who's cold and hungry. Feeling sorry for the man, they invite him to join them for dinner at a local restaurant. The homeless man, who introduces himself as Jack, joins the group and tells them his story. He used to be a successful businessman, but lost everything after his wife died and he turned to alcohol to cope. The friends are moved by Jack's story and decide to help him get back on his feet.
Throughout the night, the friends go through a range of emotions as they confront their own personal demons and try to help Jack. Sean is struggling with his career and his relationship with his girlfriend, Mark is dealing with work-related stress and marital problems, Tom is wrestling with writer's block and his own insecurities, and Dave is worried about her daughter and her own finances.
The movie is filled with heartwarming moments, as the friends reconnect and help each other through their problems.
