In a season filled with light, love is the brightest surprise.

Belen Goodwin, the event coordinator at Pavilion Grand Mall has one job this holiday to make Christmas festive and bright. But after a string of disastrous personal Christmases in her past, she’s no fan of the holiday cheer. With every twinkling light and carol, her grinch-like attitude only grows stronger.

Enter Kris Kringle, the mall’s new Santa, currently in the midst of saying “yes” to life’s adventures. He’s here to tick off a bucket-list experience, not expecting his biggest challenge yet – a Christmas grump in the form of the mall’s event planner. But sparks fly as the two work side by side, and the flirtation between them becomes harder to ignore.

Belen was just hoping to survive the season, but Kris makes her want something more than a casual fling. As the holidays draw near, she’ll have to decide if she’s ready to let go of the bah humbug and embrace the magic of Christmas, and the man who is determined to melt her frosty heart.
