The pair "run the Christmas tree stall in winter, trim your hedges in the summer and spend a little too much time in the pub in spring and autumn", according to a description.
That Christmas follows "a series of entwined tales about family and friends, love and loneliness, and Santa Claus making a big mistake".

Also on board are Humans' Katherine Parkinson, Sex Education's Sindhu Vee, Man Like Mobeen's Guz Khan and Hijack's Alex Macqueen.
The film will also feature a new song by Ed Sheeran called 'Under The Tree', the singer previously explaining that the movie "blew [him] away".
"I find since having kids, there's a real lack of great animated children's Christmas movies, so I thought this was such an amazing thing to make and put into the world," Sheeran added.
Curtis previously said that entering the world of animation "has been the most amazing adventure", and it has been "especially exciting to see the whole world [he] imagined come to life beyond my wildest dreams".
That Christmas will premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on October 19, before streaming on Netflix worldwide from December 4.
