Jingle Bell Hops

After months without work, Samantha Bright returns to Frosty Pines expecting to spend Christmas on her sister’s futon. Brewery owner Audrey Malten offers a more practical arrangement: temporary work and the vacant home next door. Audrey enjoys the life she has made in town but wants someone to share it with. Falling for Sam seems unwise when Sam is determined to leave again. Sam, meanwhile, has sworn off dating and tries to manage her attraction by setting Audrey up with someone else. Working and living close together makes that decision increasingly uncomfortable. As their friendship deepens, both women must consider whether returning home can mean discovering a future rather than retreating from one.
