On Willowbrook Lane, the holidays are more than just twinkling lights and garlands; they're a battlefield.

Clara Bennett has built her life around precision. Her Christmas displays are elegant, orderly, and flawless, a reflection of the lists and routines that keep her world steady. But her neighbor, Ethan Caldwell is her opposite in every way; loud, colorful, and a master of over-the-top spectacles that turn the quiet neighborhood into a winter carnival.

For years, their rivalry has been the highlight of the season, drawing crowds and fueling gossip. But when the neighborhood contest ends in a surprise tie, something shifts. What began as a war of wreaths and lanterns slowly transforms into late-night walks, unexpected gestures, and a connection neither of them can ignore.

As garlands and lanterns intertwine, Clara and Ethan discover that sometimes the greatest gift isn't victory; it's finding the one person who brings balance to your chaos, color to your order, and warmth to the coldest nights.
