When widow Holly retreats to a remote Lancashire cottage determined to escape the painful holiday season, she thinks she's finally found her refuge—until her carefully planned solitude collides with Jude, a brooding sculptor equally desperate to avoid Christmas and his own family drama. Snowed in together during an unexpected blizzard, these two wounded souls discover they're not alone in the cottage, and the festive chaos neither of them wanted becomes impossible to ignore. As the twelve days of Christmas unfold in their isolated hamlet, Holly and Jude find themselves thawing in ways they never anticipated, surrounded by quirky locals, unexpected traditions, and the undeniable chemistry building between them. What was meant to be a season of hiding away transforms into something neither of them saw coming.
Reading soundtrack
Soft indie and acoustic folk with hints of warmth—think Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons, and iron & wine. Wintry, introspective, slowly building from solitude to connection. Snowed-in tenderness with underlying tension. British melancholy meeting quiet hope.
