The premise

An ad exec for a fashion magazine lands her dream assignment to organize the perfect Christmas wedding. Just one thing. The photographer she's been partnered with is her ex-boyfriend. She's got to bring her A game, while working through unresolved feelings.

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.
