Plot Synopsis

Newly widowed Kathy plans to pass on decking the halls and trimming the tree this Christmas, trying to avoid anything that will bring back memories of her late husband. The only Christmas tradition she will observe is baking cookies for her friends, a passion since she was a child. When she meets handsome Christmas-tree shop owner Tim, she can't deny there is chemistry between them. He gives her an ornament that symbolizes hope, and that helps her open up to the joys of the season again. With the support of her best friend Jenna and the budding relationship with Tim, she begins to embrace the hopeful message of the ornament, eventually hanging it, along with many others, on her Christmas tree. She even considers selling the bike business her late husband started to pursue her passion for baking full time, selling her popular Christmas cookies at the Christmas tree lot gift shop that Tim and his nephew Connor manage. Although Kathy wants to take a chance on both Tim and her baking passion, she still fears getting hurt and struggles to find the balance between preserving the memory of her husband and moving on with her own future. With Christmas approaching, she must decide if the Christmas ornament is, indeed, a sign that she can have a hopeful future with Tim.
