Entertaining Christmas: Liz Livingston, face and owner of a popular lifestyle magazine, has built her legacy on perfection. A tough act to follow, as her daughter Candace learns when she is roped into organizing a major Christmas dinner party in Vermont. Sleigh bells ring: Laurel is instructed to organise a Christmas Parade in Mission City. With just two weeks until Christmas, Laurel already has her hands full - still, she attacks the project with her usual enthusiasm. When she spots an old broken-down sleigh near a small cabin, she asks the owner, a rather stout older gentleman with a white beard named Mr. Winters, if she can borrow it for the parade. He agrees, but extracts from her a promise to restore the sleigh to its former beauty, "with love.". Christmas incorporated: Riley is scraping bottom when she miraculously lands a job with a wealthy New York City entrepreneur. He's a bad-boy socialite type who is poised to play Scrooge by closing one of his factories just before Christmas - which would devastate the entire town. It's left to Riley to talk him out of the plan and turn him into a man of virtue rather than shame.
