BRAN’S TWELVE DATES 'TIL CHRISTMAS (EPISODE 1 & EPISODE 2) SYNOPSIS
It doesn’t feel fair to have your heart broken at Christmas. But that’s exactly what happened to Kate.
Kate is currently taking care of her dad, and life is just passing her by. That’s why she did this thing — this thing that ended up giving her the most amazing Christmas ever. She fell in love. But we’ll get there.
Cut back to three weeks earlier. She goes to check on her dad, Mac, who—despite being supposed to move around more—is doing the opposite, which has her worried.
She stops by a coffee shop and her friend Laura tells her she got her a Christmas gift: a Christmas-themed dating service. Kate is NOT into it.
So Laura, Calum, and Mac stage a full-on intervention. Her dad tells her she’s too young to spend every evening with him. She reluctantly agrees to the 12 Dates thing… which starts in 90 minutes!
She goes, and it’s very elaborate. A horse and carriage takes her to a magical igloo in the woods. The problem is… her date never shows.…

BRAN’S SINGLE ON THE 25TH SYNOPSIS
We meet Nell Duke, who is single and constantly reminded of it during the holiday season. She’s excited to host her family from Ohio this year — she’s planned the perfect Christmas week. But they cancel last minute. So she’s like, “Well, I guess I’ll go to Cleveland!”
But then she bumps into her neighbor Cooper, who’s like, “Why should you give up your perfectly curated Christmas? Just stay. Embrace the singleness.” And she’s like, “You know what?! I’m gonna do it!”
It doesn’t take long for her to feel a bit lonely and a bit silly. Luckily, there’s Cooper. They start doing activities both together and separately. Like going to a fancy restaurant but sitting at separate tables. She also agrees to help him plan this charity event.
They go to a Christmas mixer together and have fun, but she keeps getting little waves of sadness about being single. They watch Rudolph together and almost hold hands — but obviously that would be too much.
She accompanies him to a family gathering, and it goes great. At this point, they’re basically in love!
Then it’s time for his company Christmas party. They go together, she’s feeling great… until she overhears a coworker saying Cooper brought his “lonely neighbor” because he felt bad for her. Brutal. She’s hurt, tells him off, and leaves.
After some self-reflection, she comes to terms with being okay being single on the 25th.

The father of the Sterling family, Harold Sterling, has been killed!
Vera is on the case. It has to be someone in the house, but who? Was it Harold’s wife? One of his two sons, Troy or Michael? His daughter, Katherine? His daughter-in-law Jan? Or the family lawyer, Darren, who was invited for Christmas?
Everyone has a motive. Michael had his father invest in his nightclub but then involved the mafia, which upset Harold. Harold gave him until Christmas to buy him out, or he would go public with the mess.
Katherine hated her father’s business, even telling him, “someone needed to protect the public from people like him.”
And Darren, the lawyer, was the last person to see Harold and had argued with him that night over business.

The reviews are awful, and her manager encourages her to sell ASAP. There’s no saving this sucker. Reporters love a downfall story, so they’re outside her apartment. She mistakes one of the reporters for her rideshare driver.
With her flight canceled, she asks him to drive her to Missouri — a 7-hour trip. Looking for the scoop, he says yes and doesn’t tell her who he really is. His name is Jack, and they actually kind of hit it off. She even moves to the passenger seat.
They arrive in Versailles, Missouri. Jack is stunned to find out it’s an Amish town! Her mom? Amish. Her sister-in-law? Amish. The queen of modern molecular gastronomy… is Amish!
Jack even saves her mom from an oncoming truck. Hero moment unlocked.
This whole time, she thought his name was Chad — her “driver.” He corrects her: he’s Jack, and he finally comes clean. Claire is not thrilled, but since he saved her mom’s life, he gets to stay with the family.
Her family doesn’t know what kind of food she really cooks… or about the bad reviews. Jack agrees to keep that quiet.
Since he didn’t plan on this trip, he has no spare clothes. So naturally, he ends up rocking Amish garb.

Apparently, it’s the 50th Christmas Cup! We don’t know what that means yet. It turns out there’s a friendly rivalry between two neighboring towns, Bridgeport and Longleaf. To make things more complicated, the towns now share a school board, police, and fire department. When the mayor of Longleaf shows up with a hot firefighter, she has alternative motives: she wants to shut down the troops’ welcome-back party. The firefighter, Quinn, is clearly smitten with Kelly, but it seems like it could never work.
Kelly reluctantly agrees to lead her town in the Christmas Cup this year — and ropes Quinn into helping. The Christmas Cup is a friendly competition between the towns, consisting of challenges like a snowball fight, eggnog chug, and more.
Kelly soon learns she has to leave town again soon, which makes her sad. Luckily, Quinn is there to lift her spirits. He invites her on a romantic date wrapping presents for kids, and the night goes beautifully.

The movie kicks off with old home videos of two sisters, Faith and Kelly, spending Christmas every year with their grandma.
Cut to present day: Faith shows up late at night at Kelly’s apartment. She’s in town from Miami for their grandma’s funeral. It’s clear the sisters aren’t as close as they used to be.
The next day, they meet with their grandma’s estate lawyer. He gives them her travel journal from when she was younger. It details a trip she took to the French Alps, where she and their grandpa got engaged. Her last request is that Faith and Kelly take the same journey on Christmas Eve. They can’t believe it, but they can’t go against her final wish. Kelly initially says she can’t go — but decides at the last minute to join Faith just as she is leaving.
Their first stop is a French café to grab a croissant. They meet their tour guide, Frédéric, who was hired by their grandma but won’t say why. He flirts with Kelly before realizing she’s his tour guest.
The sisters take the train to the French countryside and almost leave grandma’s journal behind. Frédéric shows them around the town and takes them to a lodge. Faith invites him to stay with them, which is awkward considering his earlier flirtation with Kelly — but he agrees to stick around.

Meanwhile, another woman who brought her son in after he bonked his head ends up going into labor with twins. What a day.

BRAN’S THE SNOW MUST GO ON SYNOPSIS
The movie starts with a Rudolph musical. It’s safe to say this is off-Broadway. Actor Isaiah Heyward wrote, directed, and stars in the one-man show that no one cared about. He put his heart and soul into it, working on it for over a year.
His sister, Jess, and her daughter, Aurora, show up to cheer him on and invite him home for Christmas. He says he has a big Broadway audition tomorrow, so he can’t come.
Isaiah shows up for the audition and sees a poster for a musical he was in long ago. Now, he can’t even get in the room to audition before the casting director leaves for the day. To make matters worse, he gets fired from his caroling gig for showing up late.
With nothing else going on, he heads home to Hancock.
His sister picks him up and immediately guilt-trips Isaiah for not being around for Aurora, who is struggling to adjust to her parents’ divorce. To make it up to her, he offers to pick her up from school — and naturally ends up taking over as director of the Christmas musical when the old director quits.
The school guidance counselor, Lilly-Anne, gets roped into being the staff supervisor.
But it turns out Isaiah doesn’t just have to direct — he has to finish wri…

The next morning, he’s nowhere to be found. She really has to leave for the airport. She knows his last name but not his room number, so she leaves her number on a sticky note with the lady at the front desk.
Cut to Dave — his alarm was set for PM. He rushes to the airport without stopping by the front desk. Womp womp.
They both start searching online for each other, but it’s just impossible.
We learn how they met in the first place: a bad storm delayed both of their flights, so they went to a nearby hotel. She bumped into Dave on the way in, the doors instantly flew open, and they spent the whole night talking.
They know Chicago is home for both of them.
Through conversations with their loved ones in the present day, we get flashbacks of the night before. We find out she’s in fashion, and he’s in finance and wants the perfect Christmas to honor his late father. They’re different, but it works.

The movie kicks off with a TON of kittens. Suddenly, we flash back 30 years: a young Olivia is walking into her house when she hears something… could it be a cat? And that’s it for the flashback—obviously, a necessary flashback.
Cut to the present day. Olivia is checking out a place way out of her price range when she gets a text from a lawyer: they need to talk about her aunt’s estate. She’s been given half of a cat cafe. Olivia’s wheels start turning—if she can convince the other owner, Ben, to sell the cafe, maybe she can afford that dream place!
But Ben is no ordinary owner. He’s an overly generous vet, giving pet care away for free and taking on way too many patients. The good news for Olivia: Ben never says no.
She walks into the cafe, plays peekaboo with a cat, and dives straight into business with Ben. She wants him to sell. He’s not having it—the cafe is very important to him and also acts as a place to get cats adopted.
It turns out Ben lives right down the block from Olivia’s aunt’s house. He’s searching for a binder about Catnip Christmas that’s gone missing and is surprised to find Olivia there. She finds the binder, and h…

Family friend Rita stops by with a plea from the Opry: they want Gentry to attend the Opry’s 100th anniversary to honor her dad. Gentry isn’t sure.
Over drinks, we learn that Mac and Gentry have been friends since high school, but Mac insists he has zero romantic interest in her. Mmmhmm. Sure, pal.

BRAN’S HOLIDAY TOUCHDOWN: A BILLS LOVE STORY SYNOPSIS
Morgan is on a date during a Bills game — like, a total moron. She can’t stop watching the game, her date isn’t having it, and they leave. But at least now she can enjoy the game while sipping a drink made by Andrew Walker.
The next day, she’s with her family, the Quinns, who are hanging out with their best friends and next-door neighbors, the DeLucas family. Morgan lights up when Gabe shows up. They’ve been best friends forever, but Gabe has secretly been in love with her all along. With both of them single, maybe now’s the time to finally shoot his shot.
They go to snag a Christmas tree — at the same lot where Tyler Hynes and Hunter King are inexplicably picking out a tree. And, of course, the magical Santa tree is there too.
When they get back home, they find an envelope addressed to Uncle Tommy. Inside is a Christmas ornament. He explains that someone has been sending gifts like this for 55 years — starting as groceries and cash when their family was struggli…

BRAN’S A ROYAL CHRISTMAS HOPE SYNOPSIS
We open at a non-profit, and things are… not great. Director Julia is scrambling to figure out how to save the place. She started Hope for All to give hope for all — but if they run out of money, there’s going to be hope for none. What can they do? Well, they could cancel the Christmas tree lighting. Over Julia’s dead body! She’s determined to figure something out.
Cut to a castle. Prince Christopher is over palace Christmas and wants to experience the holiday anywhere else. His parents are not into it, but his mind is made up: he wants to go to America. His dad, the King, agrees on one condition — he must take a chaperone: Malcolm. Malcolm is… not thrilled.
So off to America he goes, and off to her family farm Julia goes — which must not be too far away, because she’s quickly back in town to oversee an event the non-profit is hosting. Prince Christopher goes out for a jog, wanders into the event (thinking it’s a store for some reason), and Julia assumes he’s hungry and tries to give him food. He politely declines and runs off.
But he cannot stop thinking about her, so he shows up later that night and asks her out to dinner. She reluctantly agrees and ends up opening up about the non-profit’s financial struggles. She also teaches him the fin…

BRAN’S A VERY JONAS CHRISTMAS MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Andy Williams — which is how you instantly know this is a Disney movie and not a Hallmark movie. Suddenly, Will Ferrell is there with his family. Apparently, they flew all the way to London to see the Jonas Brothers. Tonight is Will Ferrell’s Super Bowl. When people ask him when he’s making Elf 2, he’s using the Jonas Brothers to mentally push through it.
We’re transported to the theater where the JoBros come out and sing Feels Like Christmas, and we could not be more in. Neither could Will Ferrell. He is loving it.
The show wraps and they head to the end-of-tour party. They’ve got a flight in the morning, but their manager is leaving tonight, so he gives each of them a whistle “in case they need it,” and a card for a 24/7 travel agency. Joe rips it up — they don’t need that.
Joe wants to go out with his brothers, but they aren’t having it. They’re tired dads in their 30s — what could they possibly be missing out on? Joe breaks into a full musical number about what could happen that night. It does not work.
Nick FaceTimes Priyanka to say how excited he is to get home. He’s exhausted. Touring is hard and, according to Nick, he’s the only brother who really works.

BRAN’S TIDINGS FOR THE SEASON SYNOPSIS
The movie kicks off with Lucy and her son Robbie watching the news—well, really Robbie is watching because he wants to be a news anchor when he grows up. Lucy, on the other hand, hates the news, specifically news anchor Adam Kade.
Lucky for Robbie, he’s going on a field trip to the station. He ditches his group to sit next to Adam and do some “bits.” Adam is confused, but the rest of the news crew loves it. Robbie even tells Adam he needs to work on smiling and sharing good news, and encourages him to try to get viewers to come around more.
Luckily, Robbie leaves his folder at the station with his address on it. Adam goes to return it—and ends up asking if Robbie wants to shadow him at the station for a week. He’s unsure at first, but he ends up taking a liking to Robbie—and a different kind of liking to Lucy.
At the end of the week, Adam talks to Lucy about what it would take for her to start watching the news. She says they need more good news—and that he needs to wear more color. Since he thinks she’s hot, Adam takes her advice to heart. He shops for a red jacket, bumps into Lucy and Robbie, and agrees to help with the Angel Wish Toy Drive funded by Thrivent Financial. He decides to do a story on it, thinking it’s the uplifting ki…

BRAN’S THREE WISEST MEN SYNOPSIS
Luke kicks the movie off by looking in the mirror… this time with a shirt on. BOOOOOO. He and his wife are expecting twins, and that’s making Thomas feel a little forgotten.
Stephen and Susie are wedding planning, and it’s a lot.
Taylor is touring a video game company where the owner wants him to come run the place—which includes the biggest office I’ve ever seen. But Taylor doesn’t want to move, and since he hasn’t talked to his girlfriend about possibly moving out of state… this gig is probably a no-go. Also, he’s in love.
Luke goes to a Lamaze class and it’s an absolute disaster.
Apparently Stephen isn’t a pet psychologist anymore—he has authored three books and has a massive leak in his living room. Everything is freaking him out. He and Susie end up moving in with his mom while they get the house repaired.
Before Taylor can leave the office, he bumps into his ex, Fiona, who gives him the hard sell about taking the job—and even grabs his hand. When he gets home, he does not tell his girlfriend about that part.
The brothers all meet up at Mom’s house and are shocked to learn she’s selling it. They all handle the news very maturely (lol). So it’s time for the last family Christma…

After one particularly awkward date, she FaceTimes her brother, who is in the military. She talks about how swamped she is with her military service project and all the work at the church.

She gets a call from a mob-boss-level intense banker who insists she come see him today. We find out why when we see him staring at the ranch’s current balance… it’s bad. It’s NEGATIVE $1,038.
A guy named John calls—again—to try to convince her to sell the ranch. She’s not interested. So he decides he’s just going to come stay at the ranch anyway.
She goes to meet with the banker. It’s not good. There’s been some shady money stuff involving someone named Sandra Flowers, and Carrie has until 5 p.m. on Christmas Eve to come up with $15,000. That’s only 48 hours. Not great!
She calls an all-hands meeting and breaks the bad news: no bonuses… and probably much worse. They all get to work trying to figure out a way to save the Christmas ranch.
John keeps trying to talk to her about his offer, but she’s not budging. He’s like, “I can tell how much you love this place. What if I fund building a bigger lodge and you still run it?” He believes there’s huge potential for growth. Carrie is like, “I don’t total…

Flash forward 20 years: they’ve decided they’re getting a divorce… sorry, cautiously uncoupling. Obviously, in Winter Light, you need the mayor’s approval for that. They tell him they’re still going to do Christmas together as a family, and the mayor (along with all their friends) thinks they're completely insane—because apparently you can’t divorce nicely.
It’s going to be a full house for Christmas: Kate and Everett’s son Gabriel and daughter Sienna, Sienna’s boyfriend Nigel (who is a Harry Potter tour guide), Kate’s sister, and… apparently, Everett’s new girlfriend. Kate is the last to find out and, shockingly, she’s not thrilled.
She runs into Everett and his girlfriend, Tess, while out in town, and it is painfully awkward.
The next day, Everett tells Kate he wants everyone—including Tess—to have dinner together tonight. Kate and the kids head to Everett’s house and are shocked to see how chaotic things are. The vibes are weird, but maybe they'll get better… right?
The next day it’s time for Christmas traditions! Bright and early, Kate take…

Meet Ella Neezer — a certified holiday grump. She runs a fancy-pants travel company and all of her employees hate her. It’s Christmas Eve, but she could not care less. The new ad campaign isn’t good enough and she wants improvements by the 26th. “I’m not saying you have to work on Christmas… it just has to be better by then.” Very chill.
Ella and her assistant Bobbi head to the airport to catch a flight to Australia so Ella can skip Christmas entirely — even though Bobbi has a son, Tim, that she’d clearly rather be home with. On the way, Ella’s sister calls trying to convince her to come home for Christmas. Absolutely not. Ella looks at a photo of her mentor, Marlene Jacobson, and for a second it looks like Marlene is moving. Weird, but let’s brush that off.

Alexander decides he wants to spend the Christmas season somewhere quiet — and what better place than a U.S. town also called Fredonia that actually gets snow? His parents reluctantly agree to let him go with his best friend, Jackson. They end up booking the last available room at Katie’s inn.
When they arrive, Alexander is instantly smitten — not just with the charm of the inn, but with Katie herself, especially since she has no idea he’s a prince. She treats him like a totally normal guy.
Cell reception is spotty, so Alex can’t call home, and his parents start worrying. Meanwhile, Katie takes him snowshoeing and sparks begin to fly.
There’s also another guest, Mr. Norton, who seems like he’s supposed to be quirky but just comes across as kind of creepy. Alex is committed to making Katie fall for him, not the prince version o…

The Fletchers Grove real estate party is FINALLY HERE!!! A guy dressed as Santa comes in and kills the vibe. It's Glen. He owns the bookstore, and he’s very passive-aggressive about how no one in this town comes to his bookstore. Glen has a past. He’s banned from the diner, and everyone seems to hate him. He gives presents to everyone and tells Emily that he picked this one specially for her—it’s rare he finds a fellow mystery lover.
The night continues, and Emily sees Glen in his Santa suit scurrying quickly outside. She goes to follow him, finds his hat on the floor, and then sees a car speed off. Just as that happens, she hears a scream. She runs inside and sees Sue, who was throwing the party. She’s crying as she looks at Glen, who has been stabbed in the heart.
When Emily gets home, she opens the gift. It’s a special green edition of A Christmas Carol. We get a flashback of Emily visiting the bookstore and meeting Glen. She tells him about this edition of A Christmas Carol that her parents used to read to her. He remembered and tracked the book down. As she opens it, a letter falls out, inviting her to a very special event at the law offices tomorrow at 8 p.m. What is Glen up to?!

Upon seeing a comet shoot across the sky, she suddenly finds herself transported to 2025 Newport and meets Nick, a local historian.

The movie kicks off with some fun animation — which, by the way, is apparently why we only get 24 movies this year.
We meet Blaire Birch, who’s ready to compete against Josh Cannon. During the competition, there’s plenty of playful banter, but at the end, Blaire drops a bomb: she’s taking Josh’s spot in the infantry. He’s very offended. Turns out, their dads were rivals too.
Six years later, it’s almost Christmas break. Blaire’s only taking two days off — she’s all about that work life. After a training session, she spends time with her dad, a Sergeant, who’s hoping for a more traditional Christmas this year since Blaire’s mom has passed.
They go to the Marine Christmas festival party, and Blaire is shocked to see Josh Cannon there! He’s now a company commander. The two immediately start arguing and, naturally, decide to compete again — right then and there. In their rush outside, they knock over the party cake. Their commanding officer is not amused and assigns them to Christmas duty — meaning they’ll be spending 24 hours straight together.
Meanwhile, a huge snowstorm is threatening to delay the children’s Christmas gifts, though they’re still expected to arrive by Christmas Eve.
When Blaire and Josh show up for their Christmas duty, Josh has brought his own decorations — including an inflatable Santa. But when they find out the toy delivery has been canceled due to the storm, they agr…

Here’s what happened: Justin and his fiancée had planned to come to the cabin for their honeymoon, but they broke up. Justin still decides to go, and Jane, assuming the cabin was empty, came to work on a writing retreat. She’s a romance novelist, hoping for some quiet time to write. It turns out Justin is there for a similar reason—he’s a songwriter.
Justin tells Jane she can stay and work on her writing while he does his own thing. He becomes interested in her work, and while reading her book, he imagines himself in her story, picturing romantic scenarios with her. He compliments her writing and suggests they collaborate on a song. Jane writes some lyrics, they sing together, and realize they make a great creative team.

Just as they begin exploring their feelings for each other, Addy shows up with her new boyfriend—turns out they also booked the cabin.

Back at the store, Emily is greeted by Brooke Carmichael, who is part of the choir—the Belles.

He gets a job offer from a bigger network in the state, but he’s not sure if he’s going to take it. He likes it at WKJU, even though everyone there is placing bets on what bad thing is going to happen to him this year. Ted says, “NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN!”
The next day, he heads home for the holidays…but his car won’t start. Again, could happen to anyone! So he hops on the bus, where he’s greeted by his sister Kate. When they get to Kate’s house, he discovers there’s been a bag switch-em-up. Naturally, the next day he’s rocking a tiny sweater — it’s all he’s got. That doesn’t stop him from climbing the ladder to put up Christmas lights on the house… until he promptly falls off and takes a box of lights to the head.
Off to the ER he goes, where he’s checked out by Dr. Hope Miller — and they clearly have a past. Everyone reminds him that he had quite the crush on her back in high school.

Do you know how some people are drawn together in what seems to be a magical way? MMMM… try angels.
The Christmas Connection Angels spend the entire year finding folks who could use a little Christmas love. Monica is one of the oldest and best of the bunch—she’s been doing this since before the first Christmas tree. But lately, it’s getting harder than ever. Humans are distracted by their phones and their busy lives, and Monica’s starting to feel disheartened.
While venting to one of her angel friends about how things are going, she bumps—literally—into fellow angel Michael, spilling coffee everywhere. Ugh. The worst.
Michael’s an up-and-comer—an angel who already has his wings, even though he’s not yet a century old. Monica can’t stand him. For all her careful preparation, he’s the opposite: impulsive and a bit of a rule-bender.
At the annual Christmas Connection meeting, led by Gabriel, Monica gets even more bad news—she’s not winning “Angel of the Year.” That honor is going to (you guessed it) Michael.
To make things even more complicated, Monica and Michael are assigned the same two humans to match—Patrick and Daisy. This has never happened before, but Cloud Command says it must be so.
When they pop down to Earth, their very different approaches immediately clash. Michael loves pushing the limits of what angels are allowed to do—something Monica finds both frustrating and, annoyingly, …

We are in Zelarnia, and Princess Victoria is a VIBE! She’s very clearly British—you can tell by her accent. She likes horses, she’s not great with candles… but SHE IS CRUSHING IT! She’s reading a Hallmark card from her papa—her papa taught her everything she knows about horses. She comes downstairs in her cozy, earth-toned pajamas.
Missing her dad, Victoria wants to visit a ranch she used to spend time at with him as a kid. Her mom says, clearly, “This means a lot to you. Off you go.”
It doesn’t take long for her to get into trouble. She runs over a guy’s box of ornaments—so inconsiderate.
When she arrives at the ranch, she asks about the holiday ball. They tell her they don’t do that anymore. Princess Victoria is sad—but that’s nothing some Christmas games with other guests can’t fix. That is, until Mr. Angry Pants from earlier shows up. He introduces himself as Huntly and mentions he’s staying there… or something like that. Turns out, his parents own the ranch! He’s home for the holidays, taking a break from coaching baseball.
They start working around the ranch toge…
