The Christmas Calendar (2017)

In the quaint town of Nelson Creek, Emily, once a lawyer, now steps into her grandmother's shoes, breathing life into 'Emily's Bakery,' a business named in her honor. Emily's return to her hometown, four months after her beloved Nonna's death, is tinged with both sweet nostalgia and a newfound passion for baking, a skill Nonna initiated her into at the tender age of five. However, this delightful new chapter of Emily's life is marred by a daunting revelation - her grandmother was saddled with a mountain of debt, a loan she took out for Emily's law education, unbeknownst to Emily. With the looming threat of losing both the bakery and her home, Emily's problems are further exacerbated by the arrival of Forge Mart - a supermarket with its own in-house bakery - right across the street. Its cutthroat manager, Adele Atmore, sees Emily's bakery as competition to eliminate, not knowing that Emily's survival instinct has kicked in. The supermarket's charming patisserie chef, Gerard, a Frenchman with an impressive culinary pedigree, views Emily not as a competitor but as a kindred spirit in the world of baking. Emily, however, is too embroiled in her fight for survival to pay heed to Gerard's congenial overtures. As Christmas approaches, Emily's life takes an enchanting turn when she receives a handmade advent calendar from an anonymous admirer. With each passing day, the heartwarming messages enclosed within the calendar become the talk of Nelson Creek, sparking a town-wide guessing game to unveil the secret admirer's identity. The list of potential admirers is crowded - James the banker, Eddie the handyman, Chuck from the Christmas tree lot - and even Gerard, who seems to have a peculiar insight into the mystery. "The Christmas Calendar" is a captivating tale of resilience, romance, and holiday magic, where every day brings Emily closer to discovering the identity of her secret admirer, promising to make this Christmas one she'll never forget.
