Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa

The film begins in Boston with Lisa Palmer and her business partner Oliver, who are talented retail designers. Lisa decides to visit her childhood home of Evergreen for Christmas to fulfill a resolution. On the way, she encounters Kevin Miller, whose truck has broken down; Lisa, an expert mechanic, helps him get it running. In Evergreen, Lisa discovers that Daisy’s General Store, the heart of the town, has closed following Daisy's death. The Mayor, Ezra, explains that if the store isn't sold by the end of the year, the bank will repossess it. Lisa volunteers to 'stage' the store to make it more attractive to buyers, and Kevin is recruited as the contractor for the repairs. While working, they find a 25-year-old letter to Santa signed 'K.M.' that asks for Christmas to be 'like it used to be' with specific mentions of candles, carols, and bells. Lisa assumes the letter was written by Kevin as a child. They also find a mysterious old key at the hardware store, which Kevin's nephew David and the innkeeper Hannah try to match to locks around town. As Lisa and Kevin grow closer, Lisa’s partner Oliver arrives from Boston, leading Kevin to mistakenly believe they are a romantic couple. When a potential buyer passes on the store, Lisa uses the 'K.M.' letter as a blueprint to revive the town's historic Christmas festival to impress a new buyer, Polly. Polly ultimately offers Lisa and Oliver a lucrative partnership in Boston rather than buying the store. Believing Lisa is leaving, Kevin accepts a job in Maine. However, Lisa realizes she belongs in Evergreen and she and Oliver decide to buy Daisy's store themselves. The 'K.M.' letter is revealed to have been written by Kevin's father, Henry, for Kevin's benefit years ago. Finally, the mysterious key is discovered to belong to the town's church bells, which ring out as Lisa and Kevin confess their feelings and the town celebrates a traditional Christmas.
