Christmas Tree
Romance novelist Mikaela
Leighton (Krystal Joy Brown)
has a successful career, but
little luck when it comes to her
own love life. Worse, she’s
struggling with writer’s block.
Determined to find a way
around it, Mikaela decides to
revive her late mother’s holiday
writers retreat at a snowy cha-
let, where she meets Levi Mc-
Guire (Curtis Hamilton), a non-
fiction writer with some strong
opinions he is not reluctant to
share. They clash, but he suc-
ceeds in convincing Mikaela that
she shouldn’t write about love if
she’s afraid to go for it herself.
