Ivy, the owner of a year-round festive store, loves Christmas. When her mother passed away, Ivy vowed to take over her mother's store and keep the Christmas spirit alive in the idyllic seaside town of Marram Bay, and she's been running the place single-handedly ever since.
The only thing missing in Ivy's life is a dash of romance - something her twin sister, Holly, will not let her forget.
As Christmas approaches, an enigmatic businessman moves to town, threatening to bulldoze her beloved shop to make way for a holiday complex. Ivy must fight to save the store. But could this intriguing newcomer be hiding a softer side, one that just might grant all her holiday wishes?
