Can a couple on the verge of divorce find romance again during their last Christmas holiday at Holly Hill Inn? Will and Ava Cohen were wildly in love—five years ago. Today, they are ships passing in the night, two professionals driven to reach the pinnacle of their professions. When Will steps in the door of their restored Brownstone in Brooklyn each evening, Ava is already on stage at the Gershwin, playing the role of Glinda in Wicked. They’ve decided to call their marriage quits—but not until they spend one more Christmas holiday together with their families at Holly Hill Inn. Traditionally, the family arrives in New York and they all take the train to Dickens together. Will and Ava plan to share their news on the train ride back home. That was the plan, anyway. When Kat Hall, owner of Holly Hill Inn, senses something off kilter with Ava and Will, she enlists her sister-in-law Ariana—self-dubbed Queen of Christmas—to weave some extra-magical Christmas spirit around the couple. Ava starts looking at her marriage—and Will—differently, and wonders if they’ve been too hasty in making the decision to divorce. But the train is about to leave the station, and she’s unsure if she can halt it—or if she should. Will this really be the last Christmas they will share at Holly Hill Inn?
