A warm, romantic TV movie about rekindled love set against a cozy Christmas backdrop, built entirely on second chances and festive charm.

When Lacey takes a rare break from work for her friend Ava's Christmas Eve wedding, she reconnects with her former flame, Ean. The two decorate the cottage where the newlyweds will spend their honeymoon – a cottage said to bring true love to anyone who stays there – and feel their chemistry return.
