An amazing event takes place in the world’s largest factory that produces Christmas light bulbs.  A strand of bulbs is jolted with an electrical charge and one bulb named Bobby is injected with unique powers.  When Bobby and his family of bulbs, who can actually talk among themselves, arrive at the McGillicuddy’s house, they are expecting to shine brilliantly and make people happy.  The very opposite happens and for nine years Bobby and his family are relegated to the back of the McGillicuddy’s Christmas tree.  Then in the tenth year, a series of events, topped off by Bobby’s magical powers, gives the Bright family strand a real chance to shine. 

The fun really begins when the McGillicuddy’s grandson, Remington, shows up for Christmas and discovers how different the bulbs are on his tiny tree.  When magical things begin to happen Bobby Bright’s Christmas gets better and yours will too.
