The premise
While on air, a TV personality accidentally admits she hates Christmas. When she goes to a small town to film a special to repair her image, the Christmas spirit begins to change her life.
How unusual is it?
Middle of the road, with a twist — Santa himself and a second-chance romance keep it from being totally by-the-book.
