In Landry, Wyoming, outspoken, bossy Dr. Bea Inseldorf secretly longs for a home and family of her own. She fills her life with caring for everyone else instead. Widower Tate Reed is filled with bitterness and refuses to celebrate Christmas—his wife died in childbirth at the holiday several years ago. His young daughter misses her mother but also her father, who is no longer the happy, loving man he used to be. Four days of isolation together in a ranch house and a batch of small round cookies magically change the lives of them all, starved for affection as they are, all seeking the same thing—happiness.

Christmas hasn't been the same since Kris Miller's beloved grandmother passed. Every year, she made him a special batch of cookies she named Kris's Kringles. So when he discovers the local cookie contest will publish the winning entry, it seems the perfect legacy to honor her. Unfortunately, there's no record of the secret Kringle recipe. Single mom, Sophie Lawson's new catering business is barely making ends meet. The opportunity to recreate Kris's grandmother's recipe from memory is almost as tempting as he is. She agrees to help on one condition--he'll have to bake them himself. She has her own entry and desperately needs the cash prize. But when they begin this friendly rivalry, they never expect their growing attraction to include consequences.

"Hello, my name's Ricky and I honestly thought I knew what I was doing. I thought life went from A to Z. And as it may, it turns out other things do to. Once upon a day I was an average young man with an average life. That is, until my friend Bobby found a lamp that he claimed to be a time machine. Time machine . . . if only. We didn't have the slightest idea what we were dealing with, nor could we have possibly known what was to come. The lamp sent us on an adventure of many adventures, and in turn we've become altered in ways we'll never be able to undo. It's too late for us, that's obvious. You, on the other hand, are the beneficiary. Lucky you. So, with all the formalities out of the way, I'll just say this: If you think your life can be a bitch . . . try and take my shoes for a stroll."

When Sadie's life in Miami collapses like a house of cards, her inheritance of a quaint candy store in the remote town of Mistletoe, Alaska, becomes a lifeline. Thrust into a world far removed from the hustle of city life, Sadie's biggest challenge isn't the dwindling economy of Mistletoe but the biting cold she despises and the pain from her past that frosts her heart against the warmth of new friendships. Enter single dad Martin Kringle, a fellow newcomer, and mysterious toymaker with a huge secret, whose large order at the candy store promises more than just business success—it sparks a connection that might just rekindle the joy and trust Sadie thought she'd lost forever. When a blizzard blankets Mistletoe, forcing Sadie into the warmth of Martin's cabin, the stirrings of love threaten to melt away the barriers she's built around her heart.

Faced with the prospect of losing what she has begun to cherish, Sadie devises a daring plan that could not only salvage her relationship with Martin but also reignite the heart of Mistletoe itself.
