Atlas "Max" Maxheimer has enough problems keeping his family's Christmas tree farm, Evergreen Farm, from falling apart. Then a rogue soda bottle knocks him unconscious in the snow, and his troubles multiply. Betty arrives in town brimming with holiday spirit, helping her uncle launch a competing tree farm right next door. Max suspects she wants to demolish everything his family built. Betty thinks Max lacks basic holiday sense. Their small-town feud spirals into magnificent chaos. Blizzards hit. Reputations crumble. Romantic schemes backfire spectacularly. Someone steals an ornament with heartbreaking history. The war between neighboring farms transforms into something messier and far more tempting than either Max or Betty anticipated. Sometimes the person you think wants to ruin your Christmas becomes the one who saves it.
