Inspired by a true story, the film features actress Kim Fields as Emma Simmons, a Phoenix-based real estate broker. Two weeks before Christmas, she returns to her hometown of Cherry Creek and realizes that her family’s pioneer Christmas light factory, is not as festive as it used to be. Even worse, she learns that the factory, which has been in her family for generations, is on the verge of closing. During her stay, Emma reconnects with old friends and acquaintances, among them Ben Shields (Adrian Holmes), her childhood friend and high school sweetheart whose heart she broke when she left Cherry Creek without any warning or explanation. Emma and Ben rekindle their love for one another and work together to help Cherry Creek find its light again.
