Annie Jones works hard designing windows for iconic New York City department store Lawson's Finest. So when her Christmas window display gets upended by some rambunctious kids on Christmas Eve, the all-too-realistic store Santa gives Annie a little decorating tip on how to start over.

With help from friendly security guard Braden Tate, Annie repairs the damage and heads home. But when she wakes the next morning, she's bewildered to find that it isn't Christmas Day at all, but Christmas Eve all over again.

Trapped in a time loop, Annie doesn't know how she'll ever make it back to the present. Luckily, she has an infinite number of chances to get things right. As little everyday choices bring her closer to Braden and to Christmas Day, Annie starts to picture what her new life – one full of friendship, love, and community – could look like.

This heartwarming time travel holiday romance is full of feel-good Christmas magic, and shows that a second chance can lead to life-changing and beautiful experiences – even in unlikely places.
