Elise Charette's dream to open a creperie with her husband was crushed when he was tragically killed in a car accident. Needing a new start, she moved to Dickens and was hired as the manager for the Dickens Event Center and Train Depot. Their first annual holiday of lights train ride will draw attention to the original train depot on the property. However, several citizens have been against the idea, claiming the building had no historical recognition, plus the event would draw shoppers from town. Elise is determined to find out the real reason behind their strong objection.

Giles Deluc oversaw a chain of five-star restaurants throughout the country. His business-driven world is shaken when his brother confronts him about a property the company is considering for a new restaurant. Gile's selfishness results in a family losing their dream.

Riddled with guilt, Giles plans to start over in Dickens and open a small cafe specializing in crepes. He'd visited his friends in the quaint town a year ago. He purposely moves next to Elise Charette and her delightful children, but he knows it will take a Christmas miracle to get her to forgive him.
