This year’s Christmas in the picturesque town of Briar Falls will carry a tinge of sadness as architect Nell returns to her hometown with the task of transforming the historic Majestic Playhouse into a contemporary multiplex, a plan that faces strong opposition from the locals. The Playhouse has long been the venue for the town’s cherished annual Christmas tableaux, a tradition that will now come to an end. This project marks Nell’s first promotion, but she wishes she hadn’t been selected for it, especially after meeting Connor, the theater’s new owner, whose ideas conflict with her own. Since Connor lacks experience in celebrating Christmas, Nell hopes that by immersing him in the town’s Twelve Day Festival, she can persuade him to reconsider his plans for the Majestic.
