Hallmark’s synopsis of A Maple Valley Christmas reads:
Erica Holden (List) has spent her whole life working toward a set of goals: buy back the half of Maple Valley Farm her mother Ina (Frances Flanagan, “The 27-Hour Day”) had to sell and allow her mother to retire. As Christmas time rolls in and Maple Valley Farms begin their week-long, unforgettable Christmas activities, Erica is almost there until Aaron Davenport (Walker) shows up to put an offer in on the land for his family’s business. While Erica fights to protect her farm and resist her growing attraction to Aaron, she is presented with opportunities that has her rethinking her commitment to the family plan. With Christmas in the air, will Erica change course and search for a different dream, and will Aaron realize that some things are not for sale?
