The premise
When a travel agent up for a promotion is directed to forget her tropical vacation and instead visit the world-famous Ice Hotel, she discovers that her sacrifices are more than compensated.
How unusual is it?
Middle of the road, with a twist — mistaken identity keeps it from being totally by-the-book.

Wait, what?
The quirks and curveballs that make this one a little weirder than your average Hallmark. No spoilers, promise.
- The protagonist drops her phone in the snow and immediately demands rice to 'soak up the moisture' as if it fell in a lake.
- The hotel reviewer is so impressed by a travel agent making pancakes (Aebleskiver) that he mentions her specifically in a global review.
- The antagonist's 'villainous' act is essentially just being very passive-aggressive about the melting point of ice.
