Plot Synopsis

Gretchen works for a catalogue company but in her spare time decks the halls of homes and companies via her side business, Holidays Made to Order. While decorating a lobby, she accidentally showers architect Steven in artificial snow and he grumpily claims that while he likes Christmas, he doesn't see the need for all the hoopla. But when he learns he'll be hosting this year's family celebration, he hires Gretchen to be his Christmas connoisseur, and in no time, his parents, sister, brother-in-law, and niece are treating Gretchen like part of the family. Watching them enjoy the holiday, Steven finally joins in, becoming smitten with Gretchen as well. As they grow close, the two confide their true passions; he admitting he'd rather design homes than buildings; and she, revealing she wants to do Holidays Made to Order full time. Proving he fully supports her, he asks his firm to offer Gretchen a year-round decorator job, but she feels she'll be stifled and declines. Hearing this, he offers to double what he'd originally intended to pay her, which makes her feel like she's been nothing but his employee all along. Now it's up to Steven to prove to her that while their relationship began as a business deal, it truly has become a made-to-order love story.
