Abby was once America’s favourite TV mum, but after a public scandal upends her life, she retreats to a luxury Vermont resort to escape the spotlight over Christmas. Her plans quickly unravel when a booking mishap leaves her without a room, and all nearby accommodations are full thanks to a rare celestial event: a star said to mirror the Star of Bethlehem, visible only on Christmas Eve.
Salvation comes in the form of a charming local B&B, run by Nick, a widowed high school astronomy teacher juggling innkeeping and directing the town’s beloved Christmas pageant. Moved by his story and the weight he quietly carries, Abby offers to lend a hand around the inn and with the pageant.
As she immerses herself in the small-town festivities and forms a growing bond with Nick, Abby rediscovers the joy of community, the warmth of genuine connection, and a glimmer of hope she thought she’d lost. Sometimes, the brightest stars shine when - and where - you least expect them.
