Celebrity publicist Graham Bartlett, a certified Christmas Grinch, is dragged back to his quaint hometown of Mistletoe Grove for the holidays.
He must keep a paparazzi-magnet actress undercover until her comeback movie premieres on Christmas Day, and a fake relationship is the cover he hopes will hide her identity, prevent another PR scandal, and win him a dream promotion.
The plan snags on Brent, the handsome owner of the local hot cocoa shop and Graham’s old high school crush.
Graham’s phony girlfriend and meddling mother promptly aim a matchmaking scheme at Brent, turning a strictly business assignment into a holiday fiasco.
Graham has long sworn off love and his hometown, but Brent’s small-town cheer starts to thaw him.
The ladder-climbing Scrooge may have to face the man in front of him, and the Christmas he thought he wanted nothing to do with.
