She'll need to rally the town and herself to ensure the televised wedding is a winter wonderland. ***** Two years after the shocking conclusion of the reality dating show, Finding Mrs. Claus, cameras return to the idyllic town of Anne's Ferry to televise the much anticipated wedding between America's favorite Santa, Rowan Thomas, and his sweet bride, Ellie Walsh. Which means the town's self-appointed cheerleader, Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan, is overwhelmed with attending to the production team, Christmas tourists, her bridesmaid's duties, and her long-distance relationship with TV producer, Noah Cyrus.

As Charlie battles her own relationship struggles, she goes head-to-head with the devious producer to make sure Rowan and Ellie make it down the aisle with their love still intact.
