Two ex-best friends put aside their eight year silent streak to join forces and reopen their small town's local cookie shop in this swoony romance story set during the town's annual Christmas Festival.
Noah Callahan never expected to return to Evergreen Lake. Eight years ago, he vowed to leave behind the people who treated him poorly, until he finds out Ginger, his pseudo-grandma, passed away and left him her cookie shop. Forced to face his delinquent high school past and troubles with the shop, he wonders if returning was a mistake. Unwilling to let Ginger down, a Christmas miracle is going to be the only thing to help him open the shop in time for the holidays.
Violet Emerson thought she had it all - until she lost her career and boyfriend on the same day. Now Violet's home and living in her childhood bedroom, unsure of what comes next. When she unexpectedly runs into Noah, her childhood crush and ex-best friend, at the local dive bar, she realizes they might be able to help each other survive until the New Year.
Determined to put aside any anger toward Noah, Violet offers to help him open the shop and show the town that he's not the criminal they think he is. The only question is - can she spend time with him again without her old feelings coming to the surface?
