What is the Christmas movie all about?

The official synopsis reads: Angie (Fonseca) is a successful surgeon in New York City but finds herself wondering what her life would be like if she had married her former boyfriend Tyler (Eric Freeman, “Katy Keene”), who is now a successful sportscaster. Angie takes the train home to spend the holiday with her family but when she arrives discovers it’s inexplicably 10 years earlier."

"At first, she’s naturally disoriented by her unexpected time travel but slowly acclimates. With the advice of the train’s enigmatic conductor (Lloyd), Angie navigates her visit to this Christmas past as she tries to return to the present. As she works to figure out how to get back to the future, Angie has the chance to reconnect with her family; she even teams up with her sister Kristen (Paige Herschell, “American Housewife”) to help her parents, Evelyn (Thompson) and Marty (Matt Walton, “Tell Me a Story”), rekindle their romance. Along the way, Angie gains a new perspective and discovers what – and who – is truly important to her."
