FADE IN:
EXT. SMALL SNOWY TOWN – DAY
We see the most quintessentially cozy town imaginable. Wreaths everywhere. Snow falling like a Hallmark movie. Christmas music plays that sounds like royalty-free Mariah Carey.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
It was the day before Christmas in Hollyville, the most Christmasy town there ever was…
⸻
INT. BIG CITY OFFICE – DAY
HOLLY WINTER (late 20s, overworked, career-driven, definitely forgot the true meaning of Christmas) is on the phone.
HOLLY
No, I can’t come home for Christmas! I have to save the company from a heartless business decision! Again!
Her boss, MR. CORPORATE, a Scrooge knockoff, storms in.
MR. CORPORATE
Holly! You must travel to your tiny hometown and convince them to sell their beloved Christmas tree farm to us before Christmas Day!
HOLLY
But sir, that’s tomorrow!
MR. CORPORATE
Exactly! And don’t you dare fall in love while you’re there. Or rediscover the magic of Christmas. Or bake cookies.
He laughs greedily.
⸻
EXT. HOLLYVILLE – MAIN STREET – DAY
Holly steps off a bus. She looks around awkwardly at how wholesome everything is.
Suddenly—she slips on ice!
A handsome lumberjack-looking man catches her: NICK NORTH (early 30s, ruggedly charming, probably owns a puppy).
NICK
Whoa, careful! You okay?
HOLLY
Yeah… I’m fine. (Beat) Nick? From high school?
NICK
Holly Winter… thought you were too busy for Christmas.
(Insert meaningful eye contact and immediate romantic tension.)
⸻
INT. CHRISTMAS TREE FARM – DAY
We meet GRANDMA JOY (the wise old mentor archetype).
GRANDMA JOY
All we have is the love of this family… and these trees. Oh, and our annual Christmas festival where one couple always falls in love.
HOLLY
Grandma, we could lose everything!
GRANDMA JOY
Well maybe what you really lost… is Christmas itself.
Cue soft inspirational music.
⸻
MONTAGE — THE CHRISTMAS RECLAMATION BEGINS
• Holly and Nick decorating cookies
• Holly and Nick almost kissing while hanging lights
• Holly bonding with a suspiciously cute kid who believes in Santa
• Holly staring thoughtfully at a snow globe
⸻
EXT. TOWN SQUARE – CHRISTMAS EVE
The evil Mr. Corporate arrives with a contract and a villain smirk.
MR. CORPORATE
Time’s up! Sell the farm!
Holly steps forward confidently.
HOLLY
No. I won’t. Because Christmas is about love, family, and believing in miracles.
NICK
And kissing!
They kiss. Fireworks explode. A literal Christmas miracle occurs: it snows harder.
⸻
SANTA (WHO’S REAL), POPS OUT OF NOWHERE
SANTA
Ho ho ho! Looks like someone remembered the true meaning of Christmas just in the nick of time!
(Yes, he winks at the pun.)
He magically changes the contract into a giant candy cane.
⸻
MR. CORPORATE
Nooooo! Foiled by holiday spirit again!
He slips comedically on snow and lands in a giant wreath. Everyone laughs.
⸻
EXT. FARM – NIGHT
The Christmas tree lights glow beautifully.
HOLLY (V.O.)
And so, I learned that success isn’t measured in money…
It’s measured in love, cookies, and Christmas.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
—And absolutely nothing unexpected happened ever again.
⸻
FADE OUT.
