After deciding that she's had enough of the corporate rat race, Holly Green does the one thing that she never thought she'd do: she moves back to her hometown of Peppermint Falls to seek a fresh start. Her mother Martha and her neighbors are delighted to welcome her back, and one man--the handsome new owner of the Christmas tree farm, Dash--is excited to meet her. Sparks fly between Holly and Dash, but this newfound love isn't without difficulty, especially when Hal, Holly's ex-boss (and ex-boyfriend) shows up to beg her to come back. Holly is completely ready to leave her old life behind, but when tragedy strikes, she realizes that her little winter wonderland might be holding some dark secrets.
