Weihnachten naht, doch in einer gewohnlichen Sackgasse scheint der Weihnachtsfrieden weit entfernt. Ein Vater, der im Buro taglich mit Aktenbergen kampft, plant nun, seine Familie aus dem digitalen Winterschlaf zu reien und in ihrer Sackgasse ein magisches Weihnachtswunderland zu veranstalten. Doch wie bringt man Teenager dazu, das Handy wegzulegen, wenn sogar die Mutter nur in WhatsApp-Gruppen mit ihrem Mann spricht? Dramatische Videocalls uber den ersten Kuss und ein geheimnisvoller Zettel, der seit Wochen unbemerkt an einer Flasche Multivitaminsaft klebt, erschweren das Vorhaben zusatzlich. Welche epochale Botschaft verbirgt sich auf dem Zettel, die nicht nur die Familie, sondern vielleicht die ganze Welt in Aufruhr versetzen konnte? "Weihnachten in der Sackgasse" ist ein herrlich ironischer und zielsicherer Blick auf das moderne Familienleben, verpackt in eine ebenso witzige wie besinnliche Geschichte voller schrager Charaktere, unerwarteter Wendungen und der Suche nach dem, was wirklich zahlt selbst wenn es unter unbeachtetem Multivitaminsaft begraben liegt. Ein Roman, der zeigt: Manchmal muss man erst in eine Sackgasse geraten, um den Weg zum eigentlichen Weihnachtsfest zu finden.
