Jessica sends Christmas cards to people who have impacted her life. But do the cards reach the right people? Or will a goof-up help Jessica find the love of her life?

But many times, the cards go missing or they get delivered to the wrong address. Well, lucky you, if you have never had such an experience. But maybe, Jessica did and that's the storyline on which Hallmark's latest Christmas movie is based.

But do they get their Christmas cards as they are assigned? Or will a goof-up lead Jessica in finding the love of her life!
