Shop owner Allison Tancredi trying to carry out a long-standing tradition of displaying a Nativity scene in front of her store. In the guise of political correctness, the daughter of the town's mayor and Allison's nemesis, Lizzie Faslee, sets out to force the display's removal, by whatever means necessary. Allison fights a losing battle to keep her gift shop open, never mind maintain the Nativity scene. Reporter Ryan Talley takes interest in her case and embarks on an ambitious mission to help Allison save the store and re-instill a sense Christmas spirit throughout the town. Allison and Ryan foil Lizzie's attempts to de-Christmas Twin Springs and force Allison out of business through horse drawn carriages with jingle bells, uniting the town in a massive snowman village and a giant beacon reminiscent of the Christmas star that finds the attention of national media. As Allison and Ryan work together, they find that falling in love can be as magical as Christmas itself.
