KATE, the hard-working owner of the understaffed bakery DANCING FLOURS, is totally overwhelmed by all the cookie orders coming in at the last minute. There is no way her little shop can keep up with the demand. To make things worse, her boyfriend breaks up with her right before Christmas! After a restless night, Kate wakes up to a Christmas miracle: the nutcracker ornament from her tree has come to life. CHIP, the nutcracker, is everything Kate could have wished for: a charming dream-come-true! Chip sweeps Kate off her feet, saves the bakery, and fills the entire community with Christmas joy.
