"When an uptight accountant agrees to spend Christmas with his fiance' and her parents, he ends up in the last place he would ever want to be, a new age hippy commune, and must learn to accept their free spirit lifestyle or escape and risk losing his future bride."

The winter solstice could work. Xmas is the ancient Roman holiday Saturnalia baptized as a Christian holiday. (Nobody knows when Christ was actually born.) The Roman holiday celebrated the passage of the winter solstice; days would start getting longer instead of shorter. The Saturnalia was quite a time for booze and bawdy merriment.
But most people won’t get the reference or will be confused. So for the sake of simplicity, I chose rite of spring.

A conservative, uptight accountant's engagement to the daughter of hippies is in jeopardy when he attends their new age holiday, a 'Rite of Spring', drugs, sex and rock and roll orgy. Xmas is staid. And the stakes are higher than just whether he survives: can their relationship survive?

“Based on historical figures”… Even if I’m not 100% agree with the necessity to make the kidnapped a brother or girlfriend (but I’m 100% agree with the necessity to raise the stakes), you don’t have to be faithful to “historical figures”, especially at this point of development. In “beautiful mind” they made one wife out of two wives for the main character. You can stay true to the emotional reality and not to the factual reality (syd field). Again, Especially At This Point of Development.
About the setting and time, I agree that in your case you have to make things clear because me too I’m confused about what movie I?m going to see: a boy in a small town who face the kidnapping of a friend? A grown up man who comes back to his town and investigates an old kidnapping case? Is it a sort of Mystic River? It was a very difficult film to capture with a logline. You have a lot of work to do.
Anyway, you have to rewrite your logline to make clear what the movie is about. Why the main character doesn’t simply call the police 🙂 ?
