Plot
As the shining star of San Francisco's Channel 8 News, Hannah Dunbar is poised to ascend the career ladder, moving to lead the station's New York operations come New Year. Ten years into her career, she finds herself far from where she envisioned she'd be, having begun as a six-month intern with plans to return home and marry her then-boyfriend, Ben Matthews, an aspiring novelist. Now, with her current relationship with her boss, Grant Walker, dissolving due to their ambitious career pursuits, and Ben reaching out to meet on Christmas Eve, Hannah finds herself suspended in the tantalizing grasp of 'what if.'
What if she hadn't boarded the plane to San Francisco, choosing instead to marry Ben? This is a question that plunges her into a whirlwind journey through an alternative universe, courtesy of a magical Salvation Army Santa. Suddenly, Hannah is transported into a parallel life where she and Ben are married with two daughters, Caitlin and Hailie. Thrust into a world of suburban chaos and motherhood, Hannah grapples with the comical yet demanding challenges of this new existence.
As Hannah immerses herself in this alternate reality, she unravels the threads of her deepest desires, reevaluating the life she thought she wanted. With each passing day in this suburban life, Hannah grows closer to the truth of her heart's yearning. The question remains, can she shape this alternative life into her forever reality, or is she merely a puppet in the grand scheme of the Salvation Army Santa? The journey of self-discovery, love, and choice unfolds as Christmas approaches, with Hannah's future hanging in the balance.
