Christmas Spirits

In the quaint town of Hickory Hollow, this Christmas season brings more than twinkling lights and festive cheer—it brings matchmaking ghosts, unexpected romance, and a chance at new beginnings.
When baker Paisley Dunn arrives to start fresh in her aunt’s riverside mansion, she learns that her new home is haunted by two mischievous ghosts—a pair of star-crossed lovers who won’t ascend to the afterlife until they help another couple fall in love within the mansion’s walls. Determined to become a part of the close-knit community, Paisley agrees to a romantically risky deal.
Meanwhile, Lucas Lee, a famous LA contractor looking to reconnect with his roots, returns to Hickory Hollow and is immediately caught up in the town’s quirky traditions, including the beloved annual Santa Claus contest. Trading his bespoke suits for a red velvet one, Lucas is prepared for anything—except the surprising sparks that fly when he meets Paisley.
As snow falls gently on Hickory Hollow, laughter, tears, and holiday magic fill the air, and the town’s residents discover that sometimes, the greatest gift of all is a second chance at love.
