Molly Logan (Lacey
Chabert) and Lucas Bishop (Corey Sevier) were childhood friends and high school
sweethearts in Danbury Falls, Vermont, where Molly's family founded the town
two hundred years earlier, and with her immediately family still living on the
same property, where her parents, Gordon and Betty Logan (Eric Keenleyside and
Lini Evans), have continued the family business of operating a Christmas tree
farm.
Since they were children,
Molly knew she wanted to become a writer, a dream which her parents supported
while Lucas knew he wanted to become a photographer, something his banker
father, Elliot Bishop (James Kidnie) vehemently opposed him pursuing as a
career, he believed only in careers like his own, and making money by any and
all means.
When he would not
follow her to New York, where they would have pursued their professional dreams
together, Molly and Lucas broke up and had not seen each other since.
After getting an MBA,
Lucas returned to Danbury Falls to work at the bank for his father.
Molly works at a
publishing house, where she is treated more as a 24/7 PA by her recently
widowed boss, Walter Dunlap (Jim Thorburn) at the expense of her writing
career.
When Molly hears from
her brother Ryan (Matthew Kevin Anderson) that the bank is foreclosing on a
mortgage for the tree farm property they both head back to Danbury Falls to
help their parents save the farm from being turned into a golf resort.
On her return, Molly
runs into Lucas, who is heading the search for investors for the development
proposal and then Christmas begins to work its magic.
