In Coyote County, Christmas means festive lights, the town parade, hot coffee and cinnamon rolls...not creatures from another planet. While a glowing green Peeping Tom with two antennae is a little hard to buy, Libby Hawkins doesn't believe her former school teacher suffers from either dementia or a runaway imagination. There's a logical explanation, and she intends to discover it before the older woman is placed in a nursing home. After a twelve year absence, Sheriff Jackson Carter returns to Coyote County to clear his father's name. He never expected to be waylaid in his quest by alien sightings, and it doesn't help that stubborn Libby Hawkins—his former girlfriend—is determined to meddle in the investigation. He hurt Libby when he left town after his father's death, but it was for her protection. Now Libby's stumbled on something dangerous. Can he keep her from harm this time? He doesn't know, but one thing is certain: Christmas in Coyote County has never been so interesting.

Ho Ho Humbug. So much for holiday joy... The important talk Marley Paige's long-distance boyfriend wanted to have wasn't to propose. Nope. He did want to share that he'd found his perfect match; it just wasn't her. Granted, she didn't want to marry the guy, but she had kind of oversold the fact she had a serious boyfriend to her grandmother. The word “love” may even have escaped her lips. Now, she has to own up to her oversell and ruin her family's Christmas...or does she? When Wyatt Porter took his grandmother's engagement ring to propose, he thought his girlfriend would say yes, which she did—before she moved on to someone else and lost the ring. So when his old classmate and nemesis steps onto his tour trolley wearing that heirloom ring, and his family assumes he and Marley are engaged, he does what any guy in his situation would do, he doesn't correct them. And for some unknown reason Marley plays along. Sure, he can't stand her, and she despises him, and no one would ever believe the two of them would ever get together, But that's so totally why Marley is Wyatt's perfect step-on bride.

The precautions in place preclude any interaction with her family, with her friends, and with the man she is hoping will be her husband. How can he be, when no one knows how long this pandemic will last? Health protocols, full personal protection regalia, social distancing, and video-chatting aren't enough.

Mistletoe Meadows is built around the magic of Christmas. As jingling sleighs cart rosy-cheeked lovers around the Mistletoe Mile, Charlene's holiday dream is more complicated than photo-edited perfection. She proposes a compassion ministry initiative called the Gingerbread House but struggles to convince the town that their need for a homeless shelter is real. Famous for his made for T.V holiday movies, Jonas longs for a happily-ever-after that isn't as neat and tidy as his scripted films. Partnering with Char to champion her ministry invigorates him with a new purpose and provides an excuse to spend time with the girl he never forgot. But when they embrace three young sisters fighting to stay together while living on the streets, their project becomes deeply personal. Together, they must prove to a town reluctant to see anything other than holiday perfection that the greatest gift of the season isn't found under a tree.
