Christmas Bells Are Ringing (2018)

In the heart of Boston, Samantha, a talented freelance photographer, has been diligently tracing the creative path carved by her late mother. The Christmas season beckons her back to the family's Cape Cod summer home, a place she hasn't visited since her mother's death thirteen years ago. Samantha's return is not only for a nostalgic journey but also to attend her father Lee's Christmas Eve wedding to his bride-to-be, Helen, a native Cape Codder who Samantha has yet to meet. The anticipation of the wedding and the painful memories associated with her mother's passing weigh heavy on Samantha's heart. Yet, there's more at stake than holiday celebrations and familial ties. Samantha finds herself on the shortlist for the Boston Messenger's coveted Christmas edition insert, a prestigious gig that could evolve into a full-time position. The possibility of a stable 9-to-5 job begins to seem more appealing than her unpredictable freelance lifestyle. Upon her return to Cape Cod, Samantha's path crosses with her childhood friend Mike, who now manages his family's property company, including Lee's summer house. Mike is at a crossroads himself, contemplating a career move to London to escape memories of a recent divorce. Their reunion rekindles a connection that was once on the brink of blossoming into romance, but the timing was never right. Now, with the Christmas spirit and shared past bringing them together, the dormant sparks of romance flicker to life. As Mike assists Samantha with her pivotal photo layout, their bond deepens. However, Samantha grapples with hesitation, fearing she might hinder Mike from pursuing his dream job in London, a situation all too familiar from a previous relationship gone awry. As Samantha navigates through the intertwining paths of love, career, and family, she learns that Christmas isn't just about the location or the traditions, but about the warmth and love of family, wherever they might be. "Christmas Bells Are Ringing" is a heartwarming tale of love rediscovered, career crossroads, and the true essence of Christmas.
