Plot Synopsis
Melanie faces spending her first Christmas after her divorce by herself, as her ex-husband is taking their teenage son Jason on a snowboarding trip. When he cancels at the last-minute leaving Jason crushed, Melanie scrambles to find a fun back-up plan to make the holiday special for her son. Unfortunately, everything is booked -- except for a listing for a charming lighthouse on St. Nicholas Island, complete with lore about guiding good ol' St. Nick himself on Christmas Eve. The soggy ferry ride to the island gives the trip a rocky start but it gets worse when they arrive at the lighthouse to discover it looks nothing like its photo. When she comes face to face with the lighthouse owner at the local cafe, she's dismayed to see that he's the smug ferry passenger she met on the way over. Peter informs her that she booked an immersive experience that comes with lighthouse duties, including decorating it for the holidays so it will be ready for the Christmas festival. Though Peter isn't a fan of Christmas, he helps them out. Having grown up in the lighthouse that's belonged to his family for decades, Peter teaches Jason Morse code using the spotlight and the two begin to bond. Meanwhile, as they continue to deck out the lighthouse and participate in fun, holiday festivities in town, Melanie and Peter grow close. His dislike of the holiday even seems to soften, although he is harboring a secret about his family's lighthouse that's weighing on him. But when Jason overhears them talking and learns the real reason his dad canceled their plans, he takes off. As Melanie, Peter and their new friends in town search for Jason, the dormant lighthouse may still have some life left in it and help navigate a Christmas miracle for all of them. *CREDITS: Executive Producers: Jonathan Brownlee, Cameron Larson, Allen Lewis, Rama Diallo; Director: Peter Benson; Writer: Kelly Bowe, Carley Smale.
