Noah Sterling, a meticulous museum curator, believes happiness lies in perfect control. Returning to his family's rustic Inn for Christmas, his sole mission is to execute his "Master Plan v4.0"-a flawless holiday designed to win back his structured ex-fiancée, Veronica.
His rigid world immediately clashes with Cora Bell, the vibrant, chaotic baker whose "Oven Mitt-Fit" creations are delicious disasters. Noah, appalled by her spontaneity, finds himself constantly arguing with Cora about "chronological accuracy" versus "rustic charm."
The conflict escalates when a severe blizzard on Christmas Eve plunges the Inn into darkness, shattering Noah's schedule and trapping his crucial feast ingredients miles away. With Veronica proving useless, Noah is forced to team up with the one person who thrives in the mess: Cora.
Working by candlelight, improvising a magnificent meal from pantry scraps, Noah realizes the joy he sought in perfection is found only in Cora's wonderful disorder. As their forced proximity turns into undeniable passion, Noah learns that the beautiful misalignment of life is far more fulfilling than any planned exhibit. When a small Christmas miracle finally occurs, it isn't the return of the power, but the moment Noah risks everything for a heartfelt kiss, embracing a future where love, not lists, lights the way.
