Set during London's most festive time of year and filled
with delicious food Anita Hughes' Christmas in London is
about love and friendship, and the season's most
important lesson: learning how to ask for and give
forgiveness.
It’s a week before Christmas and Louisa Graham is working
twelve hour shifts at a bakery on Manhattan's Lower East
Side. When a young cooking show assistant comes in from
the rain and begs to buy all the cinnamon rolls on her
tray, she doesn’t know what to do. Louisa is just the
baker, and they aren't hers to sell. But the show burned
the rolls they were supposed to film that day; so she
agrees.
The next morning, Louisa finds out that her cinnamon
rolls were a hit, but the star of the show was allergic,
and the whole crew is supposed to leave for London that
afternoon. They want Louisa to step in for their annual
Christmas Eve Dinner TV special at Claridge's. It’s a
great opportunity, and Digby Bunting, Louisa’s famous
baking idol, will be there. Even if he does seem more
interested in her than her food.
And then there’s Kate, the show's beautiful producer. On
their first day in London she runs into the skinny boy
she jilted at St. Andrew's in Scotland ten years ago. Now
he’s a handsome, brilliant mathematician, and newly
divorced. Their familiar spark is still there, but so is
the scar of how they left things. Kate and Louisa are
busy preparing for the show, but old and new flames are
complicating their work.
