Ellie hates Christmas.

Well, maybe hate is the wrong word. While others are excited for the holiday season, she'd rather just skip it altogether.

Then Milo moves in across the hall. He's quirky and cute, despite his questionable fashion sense and unusual, semi-fanatical passion for the holiday. He makes her a bet－let him try to change her mind about Christmas, and if he fails, he'll give Ellie the recipe for the most amazing hot chocolate she's ever tasted.

Cue the jingle bells, as Milo drags Ellie into a whirlwind of baking, decorating, and tree-trimming that has her rediscovering the magic of the season . . . and fa-la-la-la-la-ing for her new neighbor.

It's not all tinsel and mistletoe, though. Turns out, Milo's got a secret up his festive sleeve that could change everything. When the clock strikes twelve on Christmas Eve, it'll take a holiday miracle for their love story to have a happy ending.
