Plot

After finishing their recent European tour in London, the Jonas Brothers long to return home to their families. There are tensions between them, as each of them has different expectations about their role in the band. Santa Claus, who does not want them to break up, puts a curse on them that does not allow them to return home until they have worked out their issues. The next day the brothers' plane explodes due to a lightning strike.

Unaware of the curse, the brothers assume their flight was cancelled and head to Paris via train, which Santa detours to Amsterdam, where Joe meets an old friend, Lucy. As Joe loses their passports swimming with her and Nick fights old rival Ethan, they are forced to travel to Hamburg to hitchhike a flight. En route, Santa has their car break down and drives them in a lorry, where they reconcile. Santa seemingly lifts the curse and allows them to return home.

On the plane, the brothers argue and the pilot becomes unconscious, leading to a crash-landing. Their arguing continues and they part ways. After they are attacked by wolves, they reconcile, leading Santa Claus to permanently lift the curse. They are found by their assistant and taken home in a helicopter. The brothers celebrate Christmas together with their family, where Joe meets Lucy again and confesses his love for her.

During the credits, a video of Ethan apologizing to Nick is shown.
