When Clara shows up in the charming town of Fraser Falls on a mission to fix her family's toy company's PR disaster, she's ready to win over the locals with her signature charm—only to discover that Jack Kelly, the independent designer her company allegedly wronged, is absolutely not interested in being won over. As Clara and Jack are forced to work together (and butt heads constantly), she realizes there's so much more to him than the icy exterior he's been showing her, and that maybe solving this scandal means finding something far more valuable than a promotion. With the whole town watching and the holiday season working its magic, these two might just discover that the best designs aren't created in boardrooms—they're created when two people let down their guard and actually listen to each other.
Reading soundtrack
Blend cozy indie-pop with warm acoustic moments and a touch of tension. Think early Taylor Swift, boygenius, and The Lumineers—bittersweet melodies over small-town magic. Capture the slow burn of clashing hearts warming to each other beneath twinkling lights and winter air.
