When Max gets knocked unconscious by a flying soda bottle courtesy of Betty—the cheerful newcomer opening a rival tree farm next door—their small-town Christmas war is officially on. Max is convinced she's there to sabotage his family's beloved Evergreen Farm, but Betty's got other ideas, and her wildly misguided schemes to win his heart involve everything from public humiliation to town-wide holiday chaos that neither of them saw coming. Between blizzards, stolen ornaments with tragic backstories, and the kind of banter that'll make you laugh out loud, these rivals discover that sometimes the best Christmas magic happens when you're too busy plotting against someone to realize you're falling for them. If you love small-town hijinks, spicy heat, and a heroine who refuses to play it safe, this holiday rom-com will have you swooning harder than Max when Betty's schemes inevitably backfire.
