Everyone dreads the gimmicky Putney family Christmas photo card that Joel obsesses over every year. But Ben, who has been left out of the card despite being with Maddie for nine years, is secretly hurt when Joel invites newcomer Casey to be included, so he and Maddie devise their own rival Christmas card. Meanwhile, when Mia and Casey realize they're no good at saying "no," they ask Maddie and Ben to be the ones to say it to their future child.
