Plot Synopsis

When the head window dresser for New York City's McGuire's Department store quits during the busy Christmas season, two employees can't wait to take her place. Sloan Van Doren, a professional driven young woman, is determined to become the next window dresser but so is the artistic, happy-go-lucky Jake Dooley. Mr. Fitch, the head of advertising and promotion, gives them a challenge -- each must create a series of seasonal storefront windows twice a week until Christmas. The creator of whichever window display gets the most attention from passersby will get the job. As they go through their paces, with Jake's obvious talent grabbing the public's attention, a silent but mutual attraction develops between them, hampered by the contest and the presence of Kenneth, Sloan's blue blood boyfriend, who can't understand the importance Sloan is placing on this job and why she won't go to Aspen with him for the holidays. Supporting the efforts of the window dressers are McGuire's veteran window washer Mac and brassy bathroom attendant Rita who have eyes for each other but haven't acted on it. Love is in the air at McGuire's but things aren't exactly what they seem. It will take a little Christmas magic to make everyone's holiday a merry occasion.
