Jamie Spellman owns and operates Canvas Creations, a youth art school, in Seattle, she encouraging her students to transfer what is in their hearts to the canvas. She started the school one year ago following a devastating break-up, and it was only supposed to be a side business while she focused on painting, but it has become her main business, she not having painted at all this year, or dated for that matter, and she is expanding the school with a second location, to be franchised, with the help of her retired father, David Spellman, doing much of the contract work, he seemingly as excited if not more in it preoccupying his time during retirement. Every year, Jamie has entered the Cherry Blossom Art Festival, the winner who receives a one person show in Paris, but has decided not to this year as she has not painted anything as a submission, and as she has always walked away empty handed. In feeling Jamie is straying from what she really wants in life, Ava Hughes, her longtime best friend, encourages Jamie to do what she herself did which believes got her own life to the point of getting everything she wanted, from a great fiancé in Tom to her dream job: create a vision board. From the vision board she creates, Jamie, following what she tells her students, pours her heart out onto a canvas, it ending up being one of her best works. It also shows her that she not only wants to enter the Art Festival again this year, but that she also wants romantic love back in her life. While she has to come up with a submission to impress the Festival organizer Renee, who finds her existing canvasses good but not heartfelt, Jamie also has to work on the second outlet of Canvas Creations, and really wants to discover the identity of the mystery man she has painted on that vision board translation. All indication is that man could be Michael Herman, one of her new adult students who ticks off all the proverbial boxes. However, she is surprised is that she is starting to have feelings for Ava's brother, Max Hughes, a landscape architect who has recently returned to town to start work as a groundskeeper at the local conservatory where the Art Festival is being held this year. The surprise for Jamie is that Max has always been a thorn in her side since they were children, he, from what she has heard from Ava, leading a relatively commitment-free life in moving from one thing to another when life gets too tough, Jamie afraid that while he seems to be showing interest in her in return that he may run away if things get too real.—Huggo

Gay business manager Sam Dalton is planning on a Hawaiian Christmas this year, his first Christmas away in years in usually having or wanting to work during the holidays from his home base of New York City. He leaving four days before Christmas, it will be a solo venture in not having a significant other, his unsuccessful dating life usually not including a second date in always finding a reason to pull away. Not a family person, especially in not understanding children, or understanding proverbial suburbia, he is blackmailed by his sister and brother-in-law Kathleen and Nate Walker, on an emergency, to sit for their two children, young teen Miles Walker and adolescent Dania Walker, a two hour drive away in small town Braden upstate instead leading up to Christmas, he changing his plans to leave for Hawaii on Christmas Eve. Sam is somewhat of a last choice for Kathleen and Nate in the disaster that was the last time he sat for them five years ago. Needing help, Sam hires what he ends up calling an "uncle consultant" in the form of the Walkers' next door neighbor, Jason DeVito. Also gay, Jason, the youngest of seven and uncle to eighteen, moved back to Braden from Los Angeles to be with family, he aspiring to that suburban family life. While he would have gladly helped Sam for free in he being a natural with children, Miles and Dania who he knows well, Jason admits the money comes in handy for the lawyer retainer fees in he going through a single adoption. An unspoken mutual attraction forms between Sam and Jason in they spending time together in a pseudo family life with Miles and Dania. Beyond their two very different wants for their individual futures, another hurdle Sam and Jason need to overcome is moving their relationship from this formal, paid one and the connotations associated to that, to a purely personal one.—Huggo

Hollywood television star Mike Mitchell heads home to the Hudson Valley in upstate New York for the Christmas hiatus, planning for a quiet holiday, especially as he contemplates popping the question to his childhood friend, divorced travel agent Andi Cruz. In the thought of proposing to Andi, he is also trying to be more of a parental figure to Andi's son Noah, especially as Noah's father, Ryan Zane, who has a history of being in and out of his life, has once again re-entered his son's life with a bang. This Christmas would be unlike the near fiasco of last Christmas, the final year of the Mitchell family's "Christmas house": his parents Bill and Phylis Mitchell's long-held tradition to transform completely their family home for Christmas, the last year as Bill and Phylis have since retired and want to focus on other things in life. The other people involved, Mike's older brother, bakery owner Brandon Mitchell, his architect husband Jake, and their two infant children, are coming from Denver also wanting to eke out their own family Christmas traditions between the four of them, they staying in Andi's mother's otherwise empty house next door. Things take a turn when Mike's publicist Kathleen has arranged for Mike to be on "Deck Those Halls", a head-to-head annual house Christmas decorating competition show between two celebrities, Mike reluctantly agreeing in succumbing to the pressure to do so from all sides, including Andi, Noah and his family, meaning the last minute resurrection of the Christmas house. But when the other celebrity has to bow out, Kathleen, in seeing the rivalry between the two of them, has what she thinks is even a better idea: for Mike's competitor to be Brandon, the second house to be Andi's mother's. As Ryan unexpectedly arrives on the scene to add to the complications, the question becomes whether the Mitchell family as a collective and the three individual pods - Mike, Andi and Noah in one, Brandon, Jake and their two children in a second, and Bill and Phylis in the third - will be able to survive the proceedings.—Huggo

Seattle-based Kendall Turner is an author writing about the science of love, she not believing that love is a matter of chance, but rather something that can be achieved only by following scientific principles. She is in stark contrast to the anonymous writer going by the pseudonym Doctor Love Struck, whose column appears exclusively in Pacific Sounder magazine, that author who espouses the notion of romance and the "grand gesture" leading to love. In reality, Nathan Hart, a staff writer at Pacific Sounder, temporarily took over the column solely in showing his editor, Jim Perkins, that he is a team player in wanting the Features Editor position when it opens up. However, he does believe what he writes. Because of Nathan's position as Doctor Love Struck, Jim assigns him to write a profile of Kendall as a feature article. While he will not and cannot divulge that he is Doctor Love Struck to Kendall, Nathan goes into the assignment questioning her approach to love. Conversely, Kendall, who is having trouble coming up with a concept for her next book, decides, after meeting Nathan, for that book to test her scientific theories with herself as the the subject and him as the potential mate in there being an attraction, but in knowing that the two of them aren't obvious on paper. The question then becomes whether these secrets, when they ultimately come to light, will affect not only what happens with each professionally, but with their relationship, especially if they do fall for each other before knowing the secrets.—Huggo

Unlike Aidan, Marcelo does not believe that awards necessarily equate to good wines, and believes Jenna should get her head out of the books and truly experience the wines more to appreciate them. While Jenna and Marcelo initially but heads in Jenna's fear that Marcelo's methods may run the vineyard out of business, they may actually open each other's eyes to what they really want in life.—Huggo

At the eleventh hour, Lawrenceton librarian and President of the town's Real Murders Discussion Club Aurora Teagarden - Ro to her friends - is asked to make a presentation and be on a discussion panel at "From Motive to Murder", an annual true crime and mystery conference always held at the same mountain resort. What Ro was unaware of when she agreed was that the other panelist in her session is Lawrenceton Police Chief Lynn Smith, who has always resented Ro and the other club members inserting themselves into murder investigations. In addition to some of the other club members, a few others from Lawrenceton, who would normally not be caught dead at such an event, end up out of circumstances attending, such as Ro's mother, realtor Aida Teagarden. The event organizer Linda Bennett traditionally has written and staged a murder mystery play with the guest speakers asked to assume some of the roles for the one performance during the event. It is during this special performance that someone associated with the play and conference is murdered on-stage during what was a well-timed blackout. Especially as one of their own is the lead suspect in the minds of the local police solely on circumstantial evidence with no real motive to speak of, Ro and the other Real Murders members start to investigate on their own to exonerate their friend, who they know is innocent. The difference this time from any murder which they've investigated back in Lawrenceton is that Lynn and her husband, Detective Arthur Smith who is also a Real Murders club member, are on the outside looking in and thus are forced to work with Ro and her colleagues. The lead suspects in their minds are: Linda Bennett herself, she who is struggling financially with the event and the theater being under threat; developer Boyd Stauberg, the person who usually gets what he wants be wielding his power, he wanting the theater for a condo development; Boyd's son Brett Stauberg who was in an on-again/off again relationship with the victim, they who were apparently off-again; librarian Andrew Wakefield, who lied to the police regarding his whereabouts during the actual time of the murder; and author Robert Brown, the conference's keynote speaker who may have wanted to test theories as to the true crime about which he writes.—Huggo

Jeff Jackson, formerly a Boston PD detective now retired on Martha's Vineyard following a career ending injury, is hired by his friend, Chief Madieras of the Vineyard PD, for a one time only security stint at the Pendray Inn, owned and operated by Britt Prajna, the best friend of Dr. Zee Madieras, the island's acting M.E. who happens to be the Chief's daughter and Jeff's childhood friend. The Lakshmi Emeralds, mounted on a sole broach worth $5 million, are being returned to Britt having been stolen from her family over sixty years ago and having circulated on the black market ever since. Gemologist Victor Gaines of Gaines and Associates Auction House in Boston recognized the emeralds after they were brought in by their unsuspecting owners, Regina and Freddy Fields, who were having them appraised. While Britt's godfather, lawyer Willard Gilford, and Gaines personally handled the transfer of the emeralds back to Britt in conjunction with Thornbury Securities, headed by Jeff's former Boston PD associate Mike Vinson, Mike and his team in conjunction with Vineyard PD are handling the event at the Pendray when Britt will be displaying the emeralds for the first time to the Who's Who of the island. One of the more professionally attuned attendees at the event is Rebecca Lane of the Vineyard Art Museum, while reporter AJ Sharma of the Culture of India Magazine is on the island doing a story of the emeralds. One somewhat unwelcome attendee is Britt's cousin, Lloyd Prajna, who plans to contest Britt as the rightful owner, she who plans to display the emeralds by wearing the broach for a week before signing them over to the Smithsonian for the world to enjoy. Shortly after the event, Britt is attacked in her home and seriously injured, while the emeralds end up being stolen from the inn's safe. This incident follows an attempted theft of the emeralds outside the auction house when the transfer was being made. With an occasional lead from Jackie Shawl, an investigative reporter with the Vineyard Gazette who is also writing about the emeralds, Jeff, Zee and the Captain investigate the theft and assault with all of the above as possible suspects. The case takes on a new urgency when Zee has to take on her usual professional role of M.E. as one of the players is found murdered, the signs being that it was associated to the theft of the emeralds.—Huggo

Miranda's Breakup Boot Camp, touted as the greatest thing in breakup therapy since sliced bread, is taking Portland, Oregon by storm, so much so that psychologist Dr. Miranda Faraday, who developed the 6-week program largely styled as a traditional boot camp, is in the process of expanding the business in order to meet demand. She developed the program in part as her own therapy to deal with the emotions surrounding her now ex-husband, Dex Finnegan, leaving her. She would also admit to herself that the boot camp is not easy; she herself broke one of her own cardinal rules when she cyberstalked Dex. Among the disparate group that has signed up for the latest camp is magazine reporter Ben Meyers, a reluctant attendee who does not inherently believe in such therapy, viewing it solely as meaningless psychological mumbo-jumbo and a fad, but is attending as a favor to support his sister, Kim, who is dealing with the discovery of her ex-husband getting engaged, and who, in attending, does truly believe in such therapy being able to ease her pain. While Ben is indeed dealing with his last girlfriend Jennifer breaking up with him, Ben, if being honest to himself, would admit that it is the breakup with former girlfriend Serena 10 years ago that has made him a broken man unable to commit. Two opposing items complicate matters between Miranda and Ben. First, they start to fall for each other, no dating between camp members one of the golden rules in the inherent issues with the rebound. That may be a moot point with the second in Ben's assignment editor Leo learning of he being in boot camp: to write an exposé on Miranda and the camp, a promotion to an editorial position and a corner office pending the resulting article.—Huggo

Hosted by ex-NFLer-turned-reality-dating-TV-show-star Brian Bright and traditional broadcaster Melissa Merry, "Today with Bright and Merry," airing on NYFamilyTV is the #1 morning talk show in the country. Their smiles at each other in front of the cameras mask animosity behind the scenes in their differing working styles, each believing his/her way makes the show the success that it is: Mel is always prepared, while Brian likes to wing it, resulting in a more familiar, spontaneous product. Mel also believes that Brian has led a charmed life without having to work for it like she has. There are two fundamental changes to the show this Christmas season, a season Brian admits is something he personally doesn't celebrate; it's Mel's favorite time of year in partaking of family traditions. Their annual one-off show in a small town highlighting the town's Christmas traditions, this year in the town of Mistletoe, has been expanded to a week culminating with a primetime special on Christmas Eve. These changes were made in light of the announcement to both Brian and Mel at the same time of the second change, something that Mel didn't know was in the works: that the network has granted Brian's request to have his contract terminated--the request probably in no longer wanting to work with Mel--and they will announce Brian's departure on his last appearance: the Christmas Eve special. Mel thought she would be excited at this news, but she admits to herself that she's afraid of a drop in ratings with her new co-host. As they are forced to spend concentrated time together in their week in Mistletoe, as they learn about why the other is the way he/she is including Brian's aversion to Christmas, and as they partake in Mistletoe's Christmas traditions together, they change the way they view each other, both professionally and personally. Then Brian's actress girlfriend Christy arrives in Mistletoe with unexpected news about his possible future job--and the town's handsome deputy-mayor James seems to be showing romantic interest in Mel. and with what looks like Beyond if they are able to open up to the other about their new feelings, they, in potentially staying together as a professional team in addition to embarking on a personal relationship, have the obstacles of Christy, Brian's actress girlfriend who arrives in Mistletoe both unexpectedly and with unexpected news about his possible new job--and the town's handsome deputy-major James seems to be interested in Mel.—Huggo

It's the Christmas season, one year since Nicole Graham's fiancé Henry unexpectedly passed away in an accident. It has been a difficult year for her, but despite hiding away at times, she managed to come out the other end in part with the help of a wide and supportive group of friends and family. As she decides to move on with her life albeit with no set goal to move toward, she starts talking to her grandfather, affectionately called Pops, about the long time passing of Nicole's grandmother, Margaret, who was the love of his life, and how he managed to cope through his grief. To Nicole, that love must have been eternal in her mind as he never remarried. But the two biggest decisions Nicole makes are to sell what was her and Henry's toy store, the Village Toy Emporium, and to sell the house that Henry was renovating for them to move into after their wedding, the renovations which she has been advised to complete before selling and which she wants nothing personally to do with in not wanting any longer to be attached to the house. Through these processes, Nicole seemingly makes two new human connections. The first is with Joe Roberts, the carpenter who she hired to do the home renovations. And the second is the man at the other end of her cell phone. She took a play from Pops who said that he coped with Marget's passing in part by writing her letters every day to pour out his emotions, deep and mundane. Nicole's twenty-first century version of letters is to send texts to what was Henry's cell phone number. What she didn't expect was to get responses back from that person, he the recipient of Henry's old cell phone number, and who, in experiencing grief of his own, has managed to provide her with some comfort in those reply texts. The issues are if either of those two new human connections are for the long term, and if she may end up being hurt by opening herself up in both these fashions.—Huggo

Cordon Bleu trained Becky Bayer works as an editor and agent at Keyner and Smith, a high end cookbook publisher in Seattle, their products more aspirational cookbooks destined for coffee tables than well dog eared books one would pull off the shelf to prepare a home-cooked meal. She is renowned for being the best not only for her knowledge of cooking and cuisines, but her attention to details, especially authenticity. Much to her chagrin as her much desired promotion to partner rests on its success, her boss Marty assigns her to work on the next cookbook of television chef Will Fryer, someone generally outside of the company's stable of authors, he more a celebrity hack than real chef. Not trained, Will, a widowed father to adolescent David, got into the business of cooking solely to get quick and easy meals on the table that David would eat. As such, Will takes shortcuts with canned ingredients. While Will's fans love him, and his cookbooks are successful, those in the culinary business, including Becky's boyfriend, food critic Robert Flannigan, don't think the food is either good or healthy. While Becky and Will have the same goal of elevating this next cookbook, they butt heads in having different ideas of what that actually means within their well-defined brands. Also making it difficult is that Will has decided to make this book on southwest cooking, having spent some time in New Mexico as a child. Becky, whose family is also from there, would focus on that cuisine if she ever opened her dream restaurant. As Becky and Will try to bridge the gap between them, they may discover something missing in their lives in losing track of personal goals.—Huggo

Movie star Olivia O'Hara looks forward with dread to a bittersweet Christmas. The third movie in a successful superhero franchise in which she stars will be released on Christmas Day, but she wants to return to what she trained for, namely the classics and more taxing dramatic fare. But what she is most concerned about this Christmas season is avoiding reporters and the paparazzi who only seem interested in her public humiliation surrounding the breakup with her rock star now ex-fiancé, Ryan Wrangler, who broke up with her via text. She can admit in hindsight that their relationship was heading in the direction of a split in Ryan now seeming more concerned about his fame than about her. To avoid the publicity, for the first time since she became famous, Liv heads home to small town Happy Valley, Colorado unannounced to spend Christmas with her family. Not returning before now was as much about lack of time as it was about the painful memories of her long-deceased father Michael O'Hara, the basketball coach at her alma mater, Eagle Heights High. In Happy Valley, she runs into an old high-school classmate, Casey Rawlins, one of her father's star basketball players, who now teaches English at Eagle Heights. Liv finds that she can return home as she reconnects with the school through its annual dramatic Christmas Eve production, there where she became inspired to become an actress, and with Casey, an unspoken crush when they were students together. But as Liv and Casey start to fall for each other, a future for them could be placed in jeopardy if the paparazzi finds her, they who could manufacture any story they want with the right photograph--unless Liv can provide the truth to combat that which is made up.—Huggo
