Jill Wagner is usually very natural and believable in whatever type of role she takes on. She is always a beacon of maturity and balance. Not so much in this one. She was a bit over-caffeinated and somewhat exhausting. Could it be the influence of being in holly jolly Evergreen?
Lisa, a big city real estate stager decides to briefly go home to Evergreen, the Christmas capitol of the world, or at least Hallmarkland. She is disappointed to see Daisy's Country Store out of business and up for sale and learns that the VIP citizens of the town are scared that a big conglomerate will buy it and put up a McDonald's or something in the middle of their picturesque little Christmas village. Haven't they ever heard of Zoning laws? And how to use them? Lisa decides to stage the store to make it a more attractive investment for someone who will keep it the way it was. And presumably everyone else who won't as well? She hires handsome Kevin, a famous contractor, who is visiting his Dad in Evergreen. To help. They transform the dilapidated store, but the prospective buyers fall through. Eventually she gets her and Oliver, her business partner and BFF 's number one client, Polly, to visit and hopefully buy the store. She OOhs and AAhs but doesn't bite, but wants Oliver and Lisa to work for her exclusively. They are thrilled at the opportunity. Kevin hears about it and decides to leave town. Also, Kevin, who doesn't realize Oliver is gay, thinks Lisa and Oliver are "together." Of course Oliver's sexual orientation is not stated because it is way back in 2018 before Gay people existed in Hallmarkland. But when Lisa falls in a snowbank laughing hysterically (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! NONONONONONONONO!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!) at the prospect of her and Oliver hooking up, we get the idea.
Anyway, Lisa and Kevin reconcile and Lisa buys the store herself. Christmas miracles abound but not without the help of the magic snow globe (see movie #1) a mysterious key to something or other, and a 25 year old letter to Santa that went astray and didn't make it to the North Pole.
