Lily Parker has always found herself on the fringes of holiday cheer, especially during her office Christmas parties. While others embraced the season's magic, Lily's reserved nature kept her tucked away in the background-content to observe rather than participate. But this year is different.
Amidst twinkling lights and freshly fallen snow, Lily begins to see the annual celebration in a new light, thanks to her best friend, Max. Kind, charming, and ever-supportive, Max has been the constant in Lily's life for years. But under the glow of holiday magic, her long-buried feelings for him begin to resurface, igniting a hope she never dared to feel.
As the evening unfolds, a series of unexpected moments-snowy surprises, heartfelt confessions, and a fateful encounter beneath the mistletoe-force Lily to confront her fears and decide if her friendship with Max is truly enough, or if she's ready to risk it all for a chance at love.
Filled with holiday romance, self-discovery, and the transformative power of Christmas, "Under the Mistletoe" is a heartwarming tale of friendship, courage, and finding magic where you least expect it.
