A Little White Trim…
Olivia Neuman had hoped the worst was behind her after she
broke her ankle, lost her chance to be a Rockette, and had
to come home to Baltimore to live in the same city as her
ex, Bobby (a.k.a. “Booby”). Of course, that was before she
saw her face plastered all over billboards for Bobby’s
wildly popular cable show about an evil, conniving
girlfriend named…Olivia. To top it off, the only job Liv
can get is playing Mrs. Claus at Rossman’s department store—
a nightmare gig of wrangling bratty kids alongside a biker
Santa. Her first Christmas wish is for a “Do Over,” but at
this time of year, wishes have a tendency to come true in
unexpected ways…
...A Tight Leather Belt…
Single mom Cassie Derringer fantasizes about the lives of
the wealthy women coming through the doors of Rossman’s,
lives of cashmere (sigh), winter white (practical—not!),
well-behaved children (via cattle prods?) and involved dads
(yeah, right). Cassie’s son, Tyler, is a ball of wild
energy, and she’s sure it’s because he has no contact with
his father, a TV star who’s staked his claim on a whole new
level of narcissism. Cassie didn’t know her own dad, but
she’s determined to give Tyler one. And when she finds a
note with her Mrs. Claus suit that reads, “This suit brings
luck. Go with it,” she’s sure she’s on her way…
…This Christmas, You Are What You
Wear
Bah, humbug. As heir to the Rossman’s dynasty, the only
Christmas spirit Meredith Rossman feels is the kind brought
on by ringing cash registers. If she doesn’t get sales up
by 50% this holiday, her jerk cousin Daniel will become
CEO. Dressed as Mrs. Claus, Meredith can keep an eye on
operations and on Nick, the Christmas hire Santa who makes
Meredith want to sit on his lap. Maybe retail and magic
don’t mix, but something about Nick inspires Meredith to be
a better person. Suddenly, she wants nothing more than to
make wishes come true…especially one in particular… For
three very different women trying to get what they want,
it’s a Christmas where miracles happen; love is magical;
and changing their lives is as close as changing their
outfits.
