Saints love to hate sinners, and sinners love knowing that the saints are all secretly sinning too.
Kallum Lieberman is an ex-boyband member now known exclusively for hooking up with bridesmaids at weddings. Hes even considered a lucky charm: hes such a fail-safe one-before-you-find-the-one that people have started seeking him out.
Winnie Bakers reputation is the exact opposite: she married her childhood sweetheart and became a star of many popular although very reserved Hope Channel movies, while still avoiding the downfalls of adolescent fame.
Except neither of them want these lives anymore. And what better way to change their reputations and bring them both back into the spotlight than to star in a steamier-than-steamy Christmas movie, filming in none other than Christmas Notch, the cute, cosy town where its Christmas everyday
But Winnie cant act a pleasure on screen shes never experienced in real life. When she decides some pleasure research purely for science and artistic authenticity, of course is the only course of action, she realises theres no better research partner than every bridesmaids favourite, Kallum himself. But suddenly Kallums teenage crush on Winnie is bubbling to the surface, and hes struggling to keep this research purely professional
They say opposites attract, but is this holly jolly ever after really ready for its close-up
