i watched this movie only two times but i am extremely sure it existed. it has to be from the 2000s or 2010s. i can't recognize any actors.

the main character was a man who either recently got divorced with his wife or was about to get divorced with his wife. him and his wife/ex wife had a daughter, she was elementary school age and she was probably blonde. the wife was brunette.

the man's 2 (possibly 3 but most probably 2) close friends and their families were very present in the movie. one of them had a daughter and one of them had a son. all of the wives were friends too. the friends and their daughter were trying to make the divorced couple make up, and at the end of the movie they do make up.

i recall the wife planning to move to a different state with their daughter.

i remember more outdoor visuals than indoor visuals but i might be making that up. they might be travelling somewhere as a group maybe.

i remember three specific scenes only:

one of the man's friends does a brief "bees and birds" talk to the children, he says that "boys have a pipe and girls have a ___", or something close to the word pipe
they all go to a mall
they try to take a tree by pulling it with the car but they fail somehow, and the car is most likely red

this is all i got 🥲 i checked every christmas movie catalog i could find, asked cinephiles, asked even ai, nothing matches. someone said i'm mixing plots of multiple christmas movies together but i've seen very few christmas movies in my life, and it was not just a snowy movie it was a christmas movie
