Storyline
Kerry Devine of small town Twelve Oaks, CO, is struggling financially and emotionally. Owning and operating a clothing boutique, Retrofit Exchange, she is close to needing to close pending a miracle due to being far behind in rent, she unable to pay due to little business.
She once dreamed of being a fashion designer, but a setback in her freshman year at design college after which she dropped out has resulted in her doubting her design capabilities, despite still designing on the side, those dresses which she sells in the boutique. Things change when a movie shoot comes to town for "My Favorite Santa" starring Brad Baxter, known as the King of Christmas for starring in a number of Christmas-themed romantic comedies. While Kerry's Christmas and celebrity obsessed mother Nancy Devine is in love with Brad the movie star, Kerry doesn't even know who he is in not being like her mother. Kerry and Brad get a chance to get to know each other when producer Caleb Turner, having trouble finding a costumer for the movie, first buys out Kerry's store for possible costumes - that miracle which she needed to pay rent - and then second hires her to be the costume designer despite her lack of experience in this area. While Kerry and the rest of the cast and crew can only watch with some comic sadness the troubles between Caleb and the movie's writer/director Jill Turner, his ex-wife, they only reuniting for this out out of professional need, that comic sadness in everyone being to see that there are still feelings between the two, Kerry and Brad not only start to fall for each other in each discovering the real person behind the movie façade, but each brings out in the other the want to take chances in life that they were not willing to do before meeting. Those chances may be their downfall in their professional and personal lives not meshing. What happens with this collective is told in flashbacks one year down the road at a question and answer session for a special pre-premiere screening of "My Favorite Santa" in Los Angeles.
