Candice Gaines loves Christmas. Not only does she bask in the twinkling lights, sing Christmas carols and go crazy with the decorations, sheโs also in the giving spirit, donating much of her time and wealth to various charities in the local area.
Charlie Sullivan despises Christmas. Though it keeps his family afloat, considering they own Sullivan Family Christmas Tree Farm, the main provider for Christmas trees on the Monterey peninsula. Heโd much rather work among the trees versus have to deal with people.
But Charlieโs parents are taking on more philanthropic projectsโand as their oldest child, they want him to be their official public representative. He just has to play nice and convince everyone heโs not a total holiday hater.
When Charlieโs mom asks Candice to accompany him to a variety of holiday parties and events, she reluctantly agrees. She thinks Charlie is a big olโ Grinch, but is determined to change his mindset and help him spread Christmas cheer. Charlie finds Candice too chatty, too sweet, too much. Do people like her really exist?
Why yes, yes they do. The more time they spend togetherโalong with a few kisses under the mistletoeโthe more they start to like each other. Hopefully Charlie can convince Candice he doesnโt have a heart thatโs two sizes too small before the ball drops on New Yearโs Eve.
