A small-town girl who moved to New York to pursue her dreams returns home for the holidays, only to realize that maybe her dreams aren't miles away, but right in her hometown.

Beth Baker is an out-of-work actress stuck in New York City without her friends at Christmastime. She decides to return home to the quaint small town she escaped 10 years before and finds a place far different than the hamlet she left. She suddenly finds performing possibilities and even romance.—satin

Struggling New York actress Beth Baker feels like an outsider to the city's theater community. That struggle includes sleeping on her friend Nicole's sofa. She doesn't want to admit her failure to anyone, especially as back in high school she was voted Most Likely to Succeed, with everyone always telling her that she was destined for greatness. Not knowing anything else, Beth believed that the only way to achieve that greatness was to be a Broadway star. As a Christmas gift, Nicole gives Beth, who has no obligations over the holidays, a trip back to her small hometown of Kern so she won't be alone for Christmas. Otherwise, she would have spent Christmas in New York on Nicole's sofa waiting to hear if she got the Broadway-play part that would truly catapult her into the New York City theater scene. As much as she looks forward to seeing her bakery-owner mom Shirley Baker, Beth does not want to return home a failure, and isn't looking forward to seeing her old boyfriend, Barry McCormick, who at the last minute broke up with her when he wouldn't go to New York with her. But once back in Kern, Beth gets ensconced in the Christmas goings-on and just might redefine her view of greatness with a little help from a tree-lot Santa and Dean Hubert, another old high-school friend.—Huggo
