Princess Violet is a simple princess. She loves chocolate and hates work. All she really wants is some alone time with her mom, but it’s a busy time of year. At least they’ll always have the festive bake. Except they don’t. Mom is too busy. Being Queen is hard. Her mom explains that if Violet is serious about being Queen one day, she has to start taking royalty seriously. She needs to start figuring out what her mission is going to be. Violet tells her mom she’s going to start focusing and immediately shows up late to her next activity: the Royal Christmas tree selection, which is chosen by a goat. When the goat gets off the leash and picks the smallest tree, the town is so mad that her mom is left with no choice... send Princess Violet to a rich people boot camp.

Cut to Colorado, where we meet Ryan and Squibby. They’re in charge and have their hands full with this crew. We have a K-pop star, an NFL player, a crypto bro, and of course, a princess. It’s pretty serious stuff. They run, they read, they bake— all the normal boot camp stuff. And Violet is having a tough time. She doesn’t run, she doesn’t know how to read, and she can’t bake.

But she does know how to be sneaky. Instead of doing the hard work of moving Christmas trees, she sneaks into the phone room and calls movers.

But Captain Ryan is too smart and figures out that they didn’t do the hard work. He’s fed up and she’s about to leave when she comes across a car on the side of the road. It’s at this point that we find out she knows sign language and helps save the guy.

Captain Ryan sees this and tells her he’s impressed and believes she can finish this program. Princess Violet agrees to return, but only if he lets her decorate for Christmas.

Ryan and Violet continue to bond, and she finds herself actually enjoying the hard work of the program and enjoying Captain Ryan’s company.

But she has a boyfriend who actually shows up to rescue her, but she tells him she doesn’t want to be rescued.

After telling Scotty to kick rocks, she realizes she’s locked out of the building. So, she climbs up a drainpipe and sees Ryan shirtless. He’s on a Zoom call with his mother, who’s excited to see he has a girlfriend crawling around in the background. Private Ryan acknowledges that it would be against company policy. After he hangs up, they go and talk by the fire and share stories about people they’ve lost.

They’re having an absolute blast together, singing Christmas songs to the elderly. What could go wrong now?

Well, when Captain Ryan discovers that not only does Violet have a secret phone but that she also accidentally broke his special bench, he kicks her out of the program one day before graduation.

Violet’s mom is very mad, and Violet says, “I don’t think you’re mad at me. I think it’s clear we’re both still grieving the loss of Daddy King.”

The next day, Violet is walking in the town square and finds out that there’s a woman whose kitchen isn’t working. She convinces the rest of the cadets to make dinner for her. But where’s Violet? She’s fixing the bench with the random guy she saved in that car. Where did he come from? Where’s he going? There’s a chance he’s Cotton Eyed Joe.

They throw a party, and Violet shows up in full princess garb. Ryan says he’s passing everyone, including Princess Violet. Violet and Ryan go to sit on the bench, and then she asks for permission to kiss. He says, “Permission granted."
