Lindsey Scott (Marla Sokoloff) and Wes Bailey (Rob Mayes) are reluctant partners in a New Orleans dueling-pianos/singing act, performing primarily in a Bourbon Street lounge on the approach to Christmas. Their reluctance is due to each being the antithesis of the other--Lindsey being hard working and classically trained and as such is always seeking perfection in her meticulous plans, while Wes is more relaxed and carefree. He has a greater ability to improvise being a jazz aficionado, and that general relaxed nature makes him outwardly more affable and approachable, which bothers Lindsey as he generally gets more attention than she. That's why Wes naturally has more connections in the business, like a friend of his currently being on tour with one of Lindsey's favorite singers, country star Cassie (Marie Osmond). And that's why Wes doesn't want to tell Lindsey that he has been offered a job on a nine-month tour with with a rock singer by the manager (Brian Robinson) Lindsey brought in to watch them perform in hoping to sign them or at least her as an act. When their last gig of the year just days before Christmas is canceled at the last minute, leaving Lindsey without sufficient funds for a flight to head to her hometown just outside of Akron for Christmas, more important this year with her sister Allie (Whitney Palmer) due with her first baby just on the other side of New Year's--Wes, just learning that he grew up in a neighboring town from her and too wants to head home for the holidays, suggests that they make what would be the 15-hour straight-through drive together. With the thought of not being home for Christmas the only thing worse than spending 15 hours with Wes, Lindsey, with no other option, reluctantly agrees. On the road trip, they hit one detour after another--some agreed upon, some bad circumstances--which in combination may threaten them making it to their respective homes for Christmas. But in the process, they have to spend extra time together, which allows them truly to get to know and fall for each other, one of the questions being if they can admit that to themselves and to each other. The situation is further complicated by Wes' upcoming new job on tour without her.

Anne Garrison's job as head toy buyer for Sinclair's chain of department stores headquartered in New York City is much different than her toy experience growing up at her father Bill Garrison's shop, Garrison's Toys in North Bay, Maine. While what she buys for Sinclair's is mostly high tech, Garrison's primarily sells Bill's own crafted wooden toys, Anne who learned how to carve as a child but who has put that part of her life behind her. While she has spent a few days in North Bay around Christmas Day most years, she is heading back three weeks before Christmas this year as Bill is retiring and she is helping him at the store for this final Christmas before clearing it out to sell the property, with the plan being for him to move to Connecticut to be closer to both Anne and her sister. His original want was for Anne to take over the business. The store is not the only thing that might be closing in town as Dorothy Wentzell, the perceived cold-hearted owner of the town's largest employer Wentzell Lumber Mill, is thinking about selling and retiring as well, whoever the new owners of the property who will probably not keep it as a mill. The mill's General Manager, Keith McClain, moved to town following the passing of his wife so that his now ten year old daughter would have extra family in the form of Keith's sister-in-law Patty and her husband Sean. Keith would like to save the mill not only for his own sake - he not wanting to uproot Jessie again - but also for all his employees. Anne and Keith end up spending time together as they are wrangled into chairing the town's annual Christmas festivities: the tree lighting and silent auction, the Christmas carnival, and the Christmas pageant held on Christmas Eve. While Anne's high school boyfriend Tom Novak reenters her life in being the real estate agent handling the sale of the store, a mutual but unspoken attraction seems to be forming between Anne and Keith, especially as Anne is additionally helping Jessie with her solo in the pageant. While many things are up in the air for anything to happen between Anne and Keith - Anne heading back to New York potentially never to return to town with the sale of the store, and Keith possibly having to move if the mill property is sold - a set of themed wooden Santas that Anne carved just before she went away to college may play a part, those Santas which seem to be providing much needed inspiration to its recipients.

This will be their second Christmas together as a family, Celeste who wants to maintain as many as Julie's traditions as possible as a semblance of normalcy for Finley. With all these issues, Celeste has already postponed her wedding to attorney Brandon, who is facing his own time commitment issues being assigned first chair in a big case which could result in him making partner. And at the last minute, insecure Finley, as the understudy, has to take over the lead in her ballet school's production of The Nutcracker, which will require more of her time for rehearsal.

In the lead-up to Christmas, Chicago investment banker Nick Bellwith is fired for an investment decision he made for his biggest client, which negated all the money he made for them and his company in the past, and he was let go instead of being promoted to junior partner as he was expecting. He's hesitant to tell his world-traveling father Sydney, who seems to value financial success more than anything. Seeing Nick walk by looking crushed, aging Clem Marshwell, owner of the Star Top Christmas-tree lot, offers him a temporary minimum-wage job assisting with the heavy lifting at the lot. Despite not being a Christmas person since his mother's death when he was a child, Nick accepts without telling Clem anything about his situation. For many of the regulars who have bought their trees at the lot over its 30 years, it's an especially painful year. Clem himself recently lost his wife Grace, and this year might also be his last as the lot property is being redeveloped. And Julie Gibbons, 7th-grade science teacher and single adoptive mom to Matt, lost her father this year (her parents fell in love-at-first-sight at the lot). Clem has become good friends with Julie and Matt. Despite believing the bills covered by insurance, Julie is financially strapped in dealing with her father's medical payments, so she's not sure she can afford Christmas for Matt this year. Spending time with this collective might give Nick a clearer picture of what he wants to do with his life as he starts to fall for Julie, but their road to a happy ending might hit a sharp bump: Nick has a connection to Julie's financial problems.

And Ethan Reinhart, her architect boyfriend of six months, not only tells her at the last minute that he will not be accompanying her for Christmas to her hometown of Whispering Pines, PA to meet her parents, Walter and Donna Miller, as was the plan, but that he is breaking up with her in seeing that plan as moving far too fast for a relationship he does not truly foresee lasting the long term. While being heartbroken, Brooke may come to the realization that Ethan is correct in that she was more enamored with the thought of him than with he himself, especially as she is tired of being the only single at their family gatherings, not only with her parents still happy after all these years, but with her older sister Ashley having been with her husband Glen for fifteen years with an adolescent daughter, Tessa, of their own. At her friends Megan and Larry's Christmas party, Larry a talent agent, Brooke meets Joel Parker, one of Larry's clients who is up for what could be his breakthrough movie role in a small town, Capraesque story.

But the bigger problem may be that the two of them start to fall for each other, something long term which is hindered by this ruse, and which may be further complicated if her family discovers the truth before Brooke and Joel are prepared to tell them.
