Liza Morgan works for one of New York's most elite, high-strung wedding planners. Her career is on the line when a celebrity client, a notoriously demanding Hollywood star, scraps her lavish Valentine's Day plans and demands a spectacular, one-of-a-kind Christmas wedding that looks like the North Pole. Liza's only hope is to return to her charming hometown, Silver Falls, utilizing the colossal, life-sized gingerbread house built every year by The World Famous Swete Gingerbread Factory. But returning to Silver Falls means facing the past she ran from—specifically, Stephen Swete, her high school sweetheart. Stephen, now a widower and single father of two, runs the factory and is the only person who can grant permission for the wedding. Liza hasn't seen him in years and knows she is about to put him "in the center of her crosshairs".
