A Very Merry Cannamas
When Silicon Valley app developer Hayley learns she can work remotely, she heads to her hometown in the enchanted redwood forests of Humboldt County, the hottest real estate market in the western US. Her childhood home has been boarded up and condemned ever since her parents died from lack of healthcare in the middle of nowhere, so she goes to the hardware store to buy some tools.
This is where she bumps into rakishly handsome high school sweetheart Rattlesnake, whose cannabis farm has fallen on hard times due to legalization driving prices down. When Hayley realizes she still has feelings for him, she bids $200,000 over the asking price on his land, then convinces him to help her turn it into a much more lucrative Extra-Tall Christmas Tree Farm. To celebrate, they head up to Murder Mountain to find the perfect giant redwood tree to cut down for her fixer home, and neither one of them is heard from again.

Here she falls in love with Manny, a scruffy aspiring Etsy designer who is unfortunately dying of tuberculosis.

When someone uploads a video of the musical breakup to TikTok, it instantly goes viral and Rhonda is hired to write a musical Hallmark holiday special. Manny dies.
Christmas Crushed
Girlboss and Manhattanite Lawna inherits a vineyard in Napa Valley from an uncle she has never met, but she's allergic to sulfites and only drinks Skinny Cosmos. Smooth-talking vineyard manager Brad doesn't actually know anything about wine either, but that doesn't stop him from mansplaining to Lawna at every opportunity.
Missing the Big Apple and not really caring about the success of her grapes, Lawna does exactly the opposite of everything Brad tells her to do, just to spite the self-important bastard. This accidentally results in the best year of production the failing vineyard has ever seen. By the time she throws a Christmas party for all of the harvesters, the heated arguments between hot-headed Lawna and hot-bodied Brad have built up so much steam that there's nothing left to do but rip each other's clothes off.
Unfortunately, the climate has also been building up heat, resulting in a prolonged wildfire season that destroys the vineyard and all of their hard work on Christmas Eve. Lawna heads home to Manhattan with a single surviving grape, and Brad talks his way into becoming an opinionated barista at her favorite coffee shop just so he can see her again. Lawna teaches Brad to ice skate at Rockefeller Center, letting him pretend he already knew how the entire time.
Then she files a restraining order.
