When elderly Sabine decides this will be her last Christmas in her beloved Mitras Castle, she hires event planner Dido to recreate the magical holidays of her childhood—but from the moment Dido steps through those imposing front doors, she finds herself captivated by far more than just the festive preparations. As snow blankets the grounds and Sabine's family arrives for the holidays (including Xan, the boy who once made Dido's heart skip a beat), long-buried secrets begin to surface and tensions swirl around the castle's uncertain future. With Christmas spirit hanging in the balance and mysteries waiting to be unraveled, Dido must navigate her complicated feelings, family drama, and questions about what truly matters as this final holiday unfolds. It's a gorgeously cozy, heartwarming tale that proves sometimes the most magical Christmases are the ones where we discover unexpected connections and long-lost truths.
