BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

Zara does NOT like Christmas. She's a lawyer who has to attend this progressive Victorian dinner with her friend and co-worker Chloe. It's not great. Her dress rips, her hat falls in the fire, it's a whole thing. Zara is quite smitten by the owner of the estate, Rafe. Rafe tells everyone about a sneaky little ghost that lives at the estate. Chloe sees the ghost. She's a believer. She also sees that Zara and Rafe are into each other.

The next day, Zara finds one of the books from the estate in her bag with Rafe's business card in it. She assumes it's just silly Chloe but it was actually the ghost. But good thing the ghost is sneaky like that because Zara has a water pipe leak in her living room and needs someone to come repair it. Naturally, she calls Rafe who helps renovate houses and he comes over to take a look. He comes over and gets right to work.

The ghost keeps doing stuff that forces Zara to call Rafe. And she starts showing up to Rafe's son's hockey practices. They're all getting attached. Zara and Rafe almost kiss TWICE - interrupted once by the smell of smoke, and the second time by a text. CLASSSIC.

Everything is going great until the snowball fight. She gets really upset when Rafe's son throws a snowball at her. Turns out, her brother used to throw snowballs. She opens up about how she had a brother who loved hockey but died in a snowmobile accident.

Back to falling in love UNTIL he shows up to be a witness in a case that she's working on. He's a witness for the opposition! She doesn't take it easy on him which really hurts his feelings. So she QUITS HER JOB!!! The ghost pushes Rafe off a ladder and breaks his leg so that she'll come to sit by his side and they'll make up.

They all spend Christmas together and she tells everyone that she's gonna open up her own law firm so she can fight for what she wants to fight for. And Zara and Rafe finally kiss.

BRAN'S MOVIE SYNOPSIS

We meet Grace. She's hanging out with Quinn who is really into her. Grace is really excited to be in charge of decorating the town Christmas tree. Her main goal? Getting the contract to decorate the entire town!

We then meet Ryan. He's a big city finance boy who is trying to figure out what to do with his grandmother's historic St. Nicholas House. He's planning on listing it but gets a call from the mayor. The mayor calls him to see if he'd be interested in reviving the beloved Ribbons and Bows charity fundraiser. He's not so sure about this. So he heads back to his hometown and is pumped to bump into Grace. The sparks are flying.

The mayor comes by Grace's office to see if she'd be willing to talk to Ryan and convince him to do the fundraiser. If she does this for her, she'll move to the top of the list of potential decorators to decorate the town next year. Grace's bff Melanie is pumped about this because they're both single and ready to mingle.

Quinn goes to the St. Nicholas House to talk to Ryan to try to find out about what his plans are for the house since Quinn is a real estate agent and he has a very interested buyer. Ryan says if he decides to sell, he'll call him first.

As Quinn goes to leave, Grace shows up. Ryan asks Grace if there's something going on with her and Quinn. She's like oh it's nothing, we just hang out sometimes. She convinces him to move forward with the fundraiser and that she'll do all the heavy lifting!

Maggie starts hanging up mistletoe around town to help make sure that Ryan and Grace get together. They start hanging out a ton. She even tells Quinn that it's just not going to work out between them.

Everything is working out great aside from not being able to find a 14 foot Christmas tree. But he surprises her by finding one!

But Quinn ruins everything by telling Grace about his plans to buy the St. Nicholas House.

He decides ultimately he's not going to sell. The party happens. And they end up kissing under the mistletoe.
