Spoiler :
I'll Be Home for Christmas is a 1998 teen-comedy film. Jonathan Taylor Thomas stars as Jake Wilkinson, a private boarding school student at Palisades Academy in California who has hardly ever been home for Christmas.
A college student experiences difficulty in getting home for Christmas after being hazed by his friends. While struggling to get home in time for Christmas, he learns quite a bit about himself and the true meaning of the holiday.
Plot
A few days before Christmas Eve, his father offers to give him his vintage 1957 Porsche if Jake(Jonathan Taylor Thomas) is home in New York by 6:00 p.m. Christmas Eve for Christmas dinner. As Jake is leaving he is taken captive by a group of bullies and abandoned in the desert dressed as Santa Claus. The group do this as punishment for not getting an exam cheat sheet from Jake, unaware that it was their leader Eddie Taffet (Adam LaVorgna) who withheld the cheat sheet so he might get Jake out of the way and claim Jake's girlfriend Allie (Jessica Biel) for himself. While Jake is stuck in the California desert, Eddie ends up giving Allie a ride to New York. Jake has only three days to make it to Larchmont, New York if he wants the car and Allie.
He stumbles upon a few obstacles/opportunities, such as a thief, Nolan, who is driving stolen kitchen goods to his dealer near New York. Jake hitches a ride with him, unbeknownst to him that the man is a thief. A police officer pulls them over for speeding and becomes suspicious of them, so Jake lies and says that Nolan is his elf and they are donating the goods to the children's hospital. The police officer offers for them to join him, as he is heading in the same direction. At the hospital the children remind Jake, Nolan, and the police officer about the importance of family. Nolan decides to return west, and win back his girlfriend. The police officer, recently estranged from his wife, asks Jake accompany him to Nebraska and help him win his wife back. The police officer and his wife buy Jake a bus ticket to New York, in return for helping them understand their differences.
Meanwhile, Allie and Eddie continue to head for New York. Instead of staying at roadside motel, Allie convinces Eddie to stay the night at novelty hotel in a Bavarian village. The village is celebrating the holidays, and a television news reporter is reporting live from the village. Allie and Eddie are unknowingly standing beneath a bunch of mistletoe while the news anchor is reporting live. She asks them to kiss for the camera and as they do, Jake happens to be watching this news report and sees the kiss between Allie and Eddie.
The driver on the bus is determined to stick to the schedule, despite the fact that it is a non-stop bus to New York. Jake wants to stop at this Bavarian village, as quickly as possible, and develops a scheme. He obtains a lunch-cooler, a slab of meat from another passenger's sandwich, writes a girl's name and hospital address on the cooler, and then convinces the whole bus that the cooler contains a liver that needs to be delivered to a little girl at the hospital in the Bavarian Village. The bus passengers convince the drive to speed up and detour to the Bavarian village. Jake finds the village, and locates Allie and Eddie's room. After Allie lets Jake in to the room, Eddie walks out of the shower in a towel and Jake assumes that he had slept with Allie (he didn't, Allie made him sleep in a sleeping bag). Jake and Allie eventually make up, until Jake blurts out that Eddie prevented him from getting his dad's car. Upset that Jake had come there to get the car and not herself (which he actually did), Allie storms onto the bus and takes Jake's seat. The driver asks is she's the girl who the organ transplant was for to which she agrees. Upset with Jake's tangle of lies, she tells him off and boards the bus.
Jake and Eddie drive off. Jake tells Eddie that he will go home, win back Allie, and get the car. Eddie, unwilling to be a nice guy—it would be bad for his reputation—and jealous that Jake would not only get Allie but also a Porshe (and thus be cooler than him) ends up throwing Jake out of his car somewhere in Wisconsin. Jake decides to enter a Santa Claus race for a chance to win a $1000 prize so he can buy a plane ticket to New York. Eddie soon gets arrested after being rude to cops dressed as Christmas trees while policing the race. When registering for the race, Jake meets a nice man, Jeff Wilson, who Jake barely beats in the race. Jake wins the prize, but on his way to the airport the taxi driver informs Jake that Jeff Wilson is actually the mayor of the town. Mayor Wilson usually wins the race every year, and uses the prize money to buy turkeys for the needy. Jake feels bad, and asks the cab driver to turn back. Jake leaves the money in the Mayor's mailbox, but is caught in the middle of this good deed by the Mayor. The Mayor offers to set an extra place for Jake, but Jake declines, saying he has somewhere to be that evening, and calls home. Jake talks to his sister, who arranges for a plane ticket for Jake from Madison, Wisconsin. The airline refuses to allow Jake to board the place because he had no photograph identification. Jake decides to stow away in a dog kennel in a cargo plane. From the airport, he stows away on a train, then tries to hitch a ride in a car (and ends up riding on the roof), and then steals a one-horse open sleigh. When he reaches his street, he apologies to Allie, and they make up. Jake and Allie ride the one-horse open sleigh to Jake's family home, and arrive at 5:59pm. Jake intentionally waits until after 6:00pm to go inside, so that he won't arrive in time to get the Porsche. When Jake's father offers him the Porsche, explaining that he's only a few seconds late, Jake still refuses, insisting that their time spent fixing it up as father and son isn't done yet.
