Plot

Journalist Campbell gets the chance to meet her biological father for the first time without him knowing. In the end, Campbell must decide if she will reveal the truth, a decision that will change Christmas forever.

Dallas-based Campbell Wallace grew up with her mother and stepfather, Sarah and Gary Wallace. Campbell took Gary's surname and chose, when old enough to understand, not to contact her biological father, Sarah's first husband Everett Bergeron, who abandoned the family when she was a child. One day, out of nowhere, Campbell is contacted by Jennifer Bergeron, Everett's current wife, who hopes that Campbell will come to their town of Sorrento, Louisiana in Cajun country. Everett is being honored as the chosen new Père Noel for the town this Christmas season. Everett has turned his once-troubled life around and Jennifer thinks that he and Everett might like to share this Christmas as a family. At first Campbell doesn't agree and won't even consider this, but then she is offered her first featured cover article for the in-flight magazine for which she works to cover the story of Sorrento's new Père Noel, and when she learns that she has two half-sisters, Mary-Margaret and Amelia Bergeron, she becomes curious to at least meet them. With Jennifer's blessing, Campbell decides only to present herself to Everett as a reporter to cover his ascension to Père Noel until she is ready to tell him that she is his daughter. As Campbell spends time with the Bergerons this Christmas season, she begins to love them as family, and both Jennifer and the town archivist, Jackson Shepard--who is falling for her--encourage her to tell her father who she is. But what if Everett rejects her a second time?—Huggo

The editor of a Dallas newspaper is eager for an original human interest Christmas story, so jumps at a proposal from Campbell Wallace to look at the Cajun 'père noël' tradition in Sorrento, Louisiana. Their new father Christmas (literal equivalent) is eager to grant an elaborate interview, unaware he's actually Campbell's biological father Everett Bergeron, as she was adopted by her mother Sarah's perfect second husband Gary Wallace. She quickly bonds with him and her half-sisters, while snooping for the truth with Everett's second wife Jennifer and town archivist, Jackson Shepard. Only the full truth can fix it all, if she finds the courage to come clean.—KGF Vissers
