The Christmas Listing

Nestled in a snow‑kissed mountain town, a charming Christmas‑themed inn becomes the unlikely arena where business and holiday spirit collide. The atmosphere hums with twinkling lights, warm fireplaces, and the gentle clatter of gingerbread cookies, offering a picturesque backdrop that feels both festive and intimate. Against this backdrop, the world of high‑stakes real estate is juxtaposed with the timeless traditions of the season, setting the stage for a tale that balances professional ambition with the yearning for genuine holiday cheer.

Julia Rogers is a driven, meticulous owner of a successful realty firm whose career has left little room for the simple joys of Christmas. Her reputation for precision and her relentless pursuit of the perfect deal have become both her greatest strength and her quiet burden. When a coveted listing for the historic Erickson Farmstead hangs in the balance, she discovers that securing it requires more than polished presentations—it demands a stay at the inn for five days, an unexpected twist that forces her out of her familiar office corridors and into a realm of holiday rituals she’s long neglected.

Enter Chad Everest, a charismatic rival whose own real estate ambitions intersect with Julia’s at the inn. Known for his confidence and a competitive edge, Chad brings a lively contrast to Julia’s structured demeanor. Their forced proximity sets the scene for a delicate dance of professional rivalry and personal discovery, where each must navigate the fine line between winning a business opportunity and embracing the season’s goodwill.

In this cozy, snow‑laden setting, the story teases the possibility that competition can give way to connection, and that the true magic of Christmas might be found not in contracts or listings, but in the unexpected moments of shared laughter, quiet reflection, and the gentle reminder that sometimes, letting go of control opens the door to a brighter, more heartfelt future.
