Back in Louisiana for Christmas, Noelle Collins (Mitchell) has big plans to resurrect the town's live Nativity, a beloved tradition that her late mother used to organize, but things get complicated when she runs into her high-school sweetheart, Nick Russell (Colletti), a rising baseball star also back home because of a recent injury. Still feeling the burn from their senior-year break-up, their lives are pushed together even further when they learn that their parents share an attraction and want to be more than just friends. When things begin to fall apart with the live Nativity, Nick and Noelle reluctantly team up to pull off the show and find themselves growing close, uncovering a hometown love for each other and the joy of Christmas that never really faded away.
