Maren is a busy single mother to her adopted daughter, Leah. As the owner of her late father’s beloved hardware store, Maren is often found helping repair just about anything for her fellow locals, leaving very little time for herself. When the opportunity to participate in the Christmas Companions program at Jolly Acres, a new yet thriving retirement community in town, Leah excitedly jumps at the chance as she misses having a grandfather in her life. Much to Leah’s delight, she is paired with Kris, a jolly resident who bears an uncanny resemblance to Santa Claus. While there, Maren crosses paths with the nomadic Reid, the center’s Director of Community Launch and Operations, whose job has him traveling from facility to facility to launch new branches.

Natalie prepares for the launch of her debut children’s book, Adeline the Angel, while Wes continues to deepen his faith journey. When Caroline quietly begins a mission to answer the prayers and needs of those around her community, the family discovers that some of God’s greatest works are accomplished through simple acts of kindness. As Christmas approaches, Bellford Falls once again becomes a place where hope is restored, prayers are answered, and hearts are drawn closer to the reason for the season.
