The synopsis reads:

Shortly before Christmas, single mother and healthcare worker Willa Fairchild learns that she is a beneficiary in a recent patient’s will. Moved by the sacrifices Willa made to give her son Scout a second chance at life, Greg Conrad wanted his nurse to have her own opportunity for a fresh start. In addition to a cash bequest equal to the family’s medical bills, Greg arranged for Willa and Scout to experience the magic of Christmas at the Victorian-era Bramble House in Bramble, Oregon…

In an interview with David Haydn-Jones, who stars in the movie, Haydn-Jones shared that he really enjoyed working with Autumn Reeser. He’d never worked with her before, but Danica McKellar had put in a good word for him. (You can read the full interview here.) He said they worked well together because they take their work seriously, but they don’t take themselves too seriously. He said the movie’s darker themes were likely why it was on Movies & Mysteries and not the Hallmark channel:

It’s got a lot more drama and edge in it. … There are some darker themes in it. And there’s also some lies and betrayal and manipulations that are a little darker than say, a cookie baking contest. Not that there’s anything wrong with cookie-baking hijinks at all. But this one goes a little shrewder and darker, if that makes sense.”
