Plot Synopsis

Based on the novel "The House of Wooden Santas" by Kevin Major. Anne Garrison's annual holiday visit to the small town in Maine where she grew up is somewhat bittersweet this year. With her dad set to sell his toy store and retire from his woodcarving career, and the towns lumber mill up for sale, this will probably be her last Christmas there. The owner of the town's mill managed by Keith is considering an offer to sell, which would put many of the town's residents out of work. When the producer of the Christmas Pageant is called away for a family emergency, Anne reluctantly agrees to take over for the sake of the people she loves who are so looking forward to it. The more time they spend together the closer Keith and Anne become, and its clear they are falling for one another. But with Anne set to return to New York after the toy store is sold and Keith considering a job offer in Vermont if the mill closes, neither is in a position to seriously consider the budding relationship. However, this is Christmastime and you never know what kind of small miracles will come your way. Maybe Keith can come up with a plan to save the mill and perhaps Anne's rekindled passion for carving wooden toys could convince her to stay on and take over the toyshop. Then, Anne and Keith might open themselves up to the possibility of their own romantic happy ever after. And that would make for one very merry Christmas.
