The Christmas Cottage (2017)

Immersed in the festive hustle and bustle of San Francisco, Lacey Quinn is preparing for a pivotal Christmas season. As co-owner of the flourishing design firm, Quinn + Whistler, Lacey is on the brink of securing a career-defining housing development proposal that could catapult her firm into the limelight. Yet, amidst the Yuletide pressure and her relentless dedication to work, Lacey is drawn back to her quaint hometown of Wallowa Lake, Oregon. She is to serve as the maid of honor for her best friend Ava Callaghan's enchanting Christmas Eve wedding, steeped in generations of captivating tradition. In accordance with the Callaghan family lore, Ava and her fiancé Mason are destined to exchange vows on Christmas Eve and embark on their honeymoon at the nearby family's Christmas Cottage. The cottage, a charming symbol of enduring love, is believed to bless any couple who spends a night there during the festive season with everlasting love. The magic of this tradition, however, is lost on the pragmatic Lacey, who has long since given up on fairy tale romances. Nevertheless, Lacey's duties extend beyond the wedding preparations. Tasked with adorning the cottage in a manner befitting Ava's vibrant love for Christmas, her urban chic, minimalist style might clash with the traditional holiday aesthetics. Furthermore, she has to navigate an unexpected reunion with Ava's brother, Ean Callaghan—the best man and Lacey's former flame. Ean's free-spirited, globe-trotting culinary career had once driven a wedge between their diverging life goals, marking a bitter end to their relationship. As fate would have it, a swirling blizzard strands Lacey and Ean at the cottage overnight, wrapping them in its intimate, yuletide embrace. Amidst the snow-covered tranquility, the Christmas Cottage might yet weave its magical spell, rekindling old feelings and forgotten dreams. For the spell to last, Lacey and Ean must confront their past, reassess their present, and contemplate a future that could mean putting love before their long-held desires. However, the imminent arrival of Lacey's boyfriend and business partner, Roger, and his unexpected plans, threatens to disrupt their rediscovered harmony. Will the Christmas Cottage's enchantment prove strong enough to bring about an unforeseen happily ever after, or will reality shatter the fragile dream?
