Suzette Forrester didn't want to enter the town's Christmas Tree Contest, but after her BFF forges her entry, Suzette's competitive spirit revs up. Beating the town's high-profile socialite, Katarina Snodgrass becomes priority one. Until Suzette discovers architect Spence James has returned to Merryvale. Spence can't reconcile the geeky girl from high school with the hot babe ordering antique ornaments at his father's store, but there's no denying the chemistry. He joins Suzette's decorating team and their sizzle rages into an inferno, threatening to put them on Santa's naughty list. Too bad Spence's NYC girlfriend, Darlene, arrives unannounced—and pregnant. Suzette's holiday promise goes from tinsel bright to a lump of coal, but she's determined to ignore her broken heart and beat Katarina. Even if it means collaborating with a man who now seems more like Santa's nemesis than a Christmas angel.
