The
story centres on Christmas Eve at 7 Cherry Lane over a period of 55 years
beginning in 1960 when Eli and Penny Kramer (Benjamin Ayres and Erica Durance)
play host to Eli's rumpy father, Walter (Serge Houde), while working on a
Christmas themed time capsule for a school project for their son Alex (Noah
Bromley).
In
1998 Widowed Regina Johnston (Catherine Bell) lives alone at the house but
after her first meeting with Nelson King (James Denton) they become stuck
together when a blizzard strands him in Regina's home.
And
in 2015 Jessie Watson (Julie Gonzalo) is facing a huge challenge in planning her
sister's last-minute Christmas Eve wedding in which the officiant is her old high
school sweetheart, Tim Whitman (Ryan Rottman), who she hasn't seen in almost 20
years.
Amidst
the trials and tribulations of the three featured Christmas Eves there are
characters that thread their way across the years.
