Synopsis:

Finding Santa: A rural small town devoted to its annual Christmas festival desperately commissions newly appointed parade organizer Grace Long to find a suitable stand-in when the popular Santa Tom White, who actually runs a school for Santas and elves but is disabled by an arm injury. The mayor's numskull son Clint is a nightmare, so everyone hopes Ben's son and formerly groomed successor Ben White can be convinced. She seeks him in the Big Apple, where he struggles to become an author but depends for his income on Uber taxi rides. Faking to be a client, she sort of wins his friendship during the long drive home. He hangs around a while, mainly because of blizzard and road trouble, but also reconnects with his roots and even plays Santa for a cut-off host family's cute son Tucker, yet remains reluctant to replace Tom in the parade and his blossoming romance with Grace seems compromised. Two Turtle Doves: For Christmas, New York City based neuroscientist Sharon Harper is heading back to her small hometown of Pine Springs to spend it with her pregnant cousin Lucy and Lucy's husband Roland. This trip marks the first time Sharon will have returned since the passing and funeral of her Gramma Vera in January, Vera who raised her. Sharon learns from Vera's estate lawyer Sam Taylor, who also happens to be Vera's next door neighbor, that Vera will be leaving the house - where Sharon grew up - to her, but has written in a journal many of their family Christmas traditions, twelve of them which Vera wants Sharon to accomplish before she makes the decision on whether to move back into the house for good, which would be a departure from Sharon's life plan, or to dispose of it. Also factoring into what Sharon will do is the fact that she has been nominated for the prestigious MacAdam's Fellowship worth $500,000, the interview for which she will attend on December 31st back in New York. Sharon's plan is to incorporate her favorite of Vera's Christmas rituals with the twelve Christmas tasks, namely to hang each of the twelve days of Christmas ornaments on its display stand after the completion of each task. In that ritualized task, Sharon is dismayed to find that she can only find ten of the eleven ornaments, the partridge in a pear tree which never existed in this set, the missing ornament being the two turtle doves. In completing each task, Sharon gets help from Sam's ten year old daughter Mikayla and by association Sam himself. In return, Sharon ends up helping Mikayla cope with Christmas in the absence of her own mother Jenny who passed a few years earlier, Jenny, an artist, the reason she and Sam, originally from New York, moved to Pine Springs in the first place six years ago. In the process, Sharon can't picture a life without Sam and Mikayla but also doesn't know if she can put all that she's worked for behind her, while Sam knows he won't start something with Sharon that has no chance of even getting to the next step. Beyond whether or not she gets the fellowship, what happens between Sharon and Sam may symbolically be determined by whether or not the two turtle doves ornament is found, it which to Sharon signifies love. Christmas on Honeysuckle Lane: Emma Reynolds is a newly minted junior partner with a New York City law firm and who followed in her father's footsteps career-wise, although Emma only knows her clients as faceless corporations, while her father, who had his own practice in the family's longtime hometown of Oliver's Well, Virginia with his friend and partner Joe, knew the names and faces of everyone with who he did business. Always too busy with work and now a bona fide big city girl, Emma has headed home to Oliver's Well this Christmas for the first time since law school, what could be considered one year too late as both her father and mother, Cliff and Caroline Reynolds, have passed away this year, meaning she didn't get that one last Christmas with them. Emma will be spending this Christmas with her Oliver's Well-based siblings, Andie, a successful novelist, and Daniel, a caterer, and their respective families as the three siblings will be closing up the family house on Honeysuckle Lane, including figuring out what to do with the family heirlooms and mementos, before putting the historic house and the appropriate other items on the market. The importance of this Christmas is honoring their parents' memory, they who loved Christmas and were each other's one true love for the duration of their fifty-three year marriage, it being love at first sight. Emma has come to town solo, delaying telling her siblings that she and her longtime boyfriend, cardiologist Ian Tillman, who they expected would be an imminent part of the family, have split. One of Emma's responsibilities ends up being to find someone to help them appraise the items in the house. Who Emma hires is ex-Harvard History professor turned antiques dealer Morgan Shelby, his hiring despite his and Emma's antagonistic first meeting. In going through specifically Caroline's antique Victorian desk - it where she used to hide many of Emma's Christmas presents - Morgan finds hidden some love letters written to Caroline from someone not Cliff - the letters signed 'R.J.' who apparently was engaged to Caroline before Cliff. Not wanting to upset the apple cart before knowing what it all means, Emma and Morgan, without telling either Andie or Daniel, go on a mission to discover who R.J. is and what he meant in Caroline's life. In going on this mission of discovery, both Emma and Morgan may come to some realizations about what they truly want in life, Emma's which includes facing the real reason she left Oliver's Well and which is made all the more difficult with something from her recent past following her to Oliver's Well.
