When Heidi Nelson
(Emily Osment) left her small hometown of Pleasant
Valley with the dream of one day becoming a successful painter, but she had
to put her own artistic endeavours on hold in order to work as an New York City
art gallery curator, which she made a great success of.
However, a week before
the gallery's big Christmas party, a call from her sister Megan (Sarah Jackson)
has her flying home so she can babysit her niece and nephew Katie and Tom
Westwood (Trinity Roberts and Jacob Buster) while their parents go out of town.
Almost as soon as she
arrives back in Pleasant Valley, she comes face to face with her high school
sweetheart Chris Shepherd (Ryan Rottman), who is now a teacher, and is also
giving her Nephew Tom, extra lessons after school to help get his grades up.
In addition, he has
been given the task of organizing the Christmas SnowBall, a task for which he
appears to Heidi to be in over his head especially when it turns out he must
find a new last-minute location for the Christmas dance.
So, Heidi offers to
help and together they discover the perfect venue, called Wonderland Farm.
As a result of spending
time in Pleasant Valley decorating for the Christmas SnowBall with Chris, she
is inspired to start painting again.
However, as Christmas
approaches fast, she is conflicted, torn between her unfulfilled life in the
City and life back in Pleasant Valley.
