Snow Bride

The film opens with Greta Kane, a talented but unfulfilled reporter at a Los Angeles tabloid, competing with her rival Wes for a promotion to editor-in-chief of a new online gossip site. Their boss, Lou, tasks them with uncovering which of the Tannehill brothers—sons of a late Senator—is planning a Christmas engagement. While picking up a wedding dress for her friend Doria, Greta impulsively drives to the Tannehill estate in Big Bear. Her car slides off the road during a blizzard, and she is forced to hike through the snow in the bulky wedding gown to find help. She is discovered by Ben Tannehill, who is staying in a modest cabin to work on a secret novel. Assuming she is a jilted bride, Ben takes her in. When Ben's brother Jared arrives with Ben's manipulative ex-girlfriend Claire, Ben introduces Greta as his own date to avoid embarrassment. Greta adopts the fake name 'Greta Kanabelsteinsky' and is welcomed into the Tannehill home by the matriarch, Maggie. Over the course of the week, Greta participates in family traditions like gingerbread house building and a charity football game. She discovers that Ben has no interest in the family's political legacy and wants to be a writer, a secret she encourages him to pursue. Meanwhile, Claire becomes suspicious of Greta's background and conspires with Wes to uncover her identity. At the Tannehill Christmas Ball, after Jared proposes to Claire, Claire publicly exposes Greta as a tabloid spy. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed, Ben asks Greta to leave. Greta returns to LA and refuses to write the scandalous story, choosing to quit her job instead of betraying the family's trust. In a twist, Maggie Tannehill reveals she knew Greta's identity all along thanks to her assistant Peters. Maggie buys the 'Pulse Gossip' tabloid to pivot it toward serious journalism and offers Greta a job. Greta also secretly sends Ben's manuscript to a publisher, securing him a book deal. The film concludes at Doria's wedding, where Ben finds Greta and they reconcile, finally beginning their own real romance.
