Plot Synopsis

A former dancer and ice-skater turned television news reporter, Lori Marshal, believes her holiday wish of landing a managerial position in a new division at work could soon be a reality. To land the dream job, she must cover the closing of the Ice Palace, a historic skating rink and training center in her hometown of Greenhill, Michigan. Despite having bad memories of the establishment, Lori reluctantly accepts the assignment and heads home to hopefully secure the promotion. En route she encounters Mark Johnson and his daughter Zoe, an aspiring skater. Unbeknownst to her, Mark owns the Ice Palace that, without major renovations, will be condemned. The more Lori explores her story, the more she realizes the importance of the Palace to the small-town community, how much it means to Mark to keep it in his family and her passion for ice skating is reignited. But when she's forced to take on a more personal angle in her story by delving more into Mark's heart, she finds herself torn -- could the finished version of her story turn out to be the final chapter of the Ice Palace and end any budding romance? **This movie originally premiered December 14, 2023 on Hallmark's streaming service Hallmark Movies Now, and made its linear television debut on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT on Hallmark Channel. *CREDITS: Executive Producers: Oneida Crawford, Jessie Prupas, Aren Prupas, Jonas Prupas; Director: Shawna Steele; Writer: Andrew Daley.
