In the small town of Comfort, Kentucky, Ginny Nolan (Osnes) is determined to save her late mother’s cherished Christmas shop, Silver Bells, before mounting repairs cause it to close. When ambitious entrepreneur Nick Day (McPartlin) arrives with plans to buy the shop, Ginny finds herself at odds with his vision for the future but also drawn to him on a personal level. As her former music partner – and almost first love – Tyler Benton (Wicks) returns home to participate in a Christmas songwriting showcase, old feelings resurface. Caught between Nick’s compelling offer and obvious interest in her, and Tyler’s renewed connection, Ginny must choose between protecting the past she loves and embracing a future that could change her heart forever.

Forced to rely on candlelight, firewood, and improvised meals, they begin revisiting old traditions while uncovering long-held misunderstandings.

A Very Arctic Christmas
Starring Cameron Mathison and Jill Wagner
In A Very Arctic Christmas, single dad Jim, a former major league baseball player turned broadcaster, shares a treasured holiday tradition with his 20-year-old daughter, Isla: each year, they take turns choosing how to spend Christmas. When Isla picks a once-in-a-lifetime Arctic cruise, Jim agrees, expecting to return in time for his annual Christmas Eve broadcast. But a timing mix-up leaves them stranded in an Arctic town after their ship departs without them. With help from wildlife conservationist Jane, Jim and Isla set out across the frozen wilderness in a rugged tundra buggy. Along the way, they experience the wonder of the Aurora Borealis, the beauty of the Arctic landscape, and an unexpected holiday adventure. As their carefully made plans change, Jim is reminded that Christmas is about more than schedules and traditions—and that sometimes the most meaningful holiday memories are the ones you never planned to make together as a family.
