Magical Christmas Ornaments

Marie is a successful editor at Lionsrun Publishing who has lost her faith in 'Christmas magic' after a devastating breakup with her college sweetheart, Clark, four years prior. Her mother, Linda, begins sending her a collection of vintage family ornaments, claiming they hold special powers. The first ornament, an angel named Aurora, coincides with Marie meeting her neighbor Nate, a pediatric nurse who is new to the city. As Marie hangs more ornaments, the 'magic' becomes increasingly literal: an ice skate ornament leads to an impromptu skating date with Nate, and a lighthouse ornament—representing the site of her heartbreak—heralds the return of Clark, who has been hired by Marie's boss, Henry, to write a new fiction novel. The conflict intensifies when Marie discovers Clark's book is a thinly veiled account of their own relationship, and he begins using her professional ideas, including her 'Inspiring the future, today' tagline, to impress Henry. Meanwhile, Marie's relationship with Nate hits a snag when she sees him with a female colleague, Leslie, and her fear of being 'burned' again causes her to push him away. After a confrontation at the company Christmas party where Clark prioritizes profit over the integrity of children's literature, Marie realizes she cannot stay at Lionsrun. She resigns to follow her heart and open her own publishing firm, starting with a children's book by her mentor, J.P. Presley. In the resolution, Marie realizes the ornaments weren't just bringing her things, but were changing her perspective. She rushes to find Nate before he leaves for a Christmas flight to Florida, confessing that he is what she wants for Christmas. The film ends with Marie successfully launching her business and finding a happy ending that isn't just fiction.
