HOLLY, (paired with Brett) owner of the Evergreen Inn in Hopewood Falls,
Vermont. A heart of gold.
BRETT (paired with Holly), stranded by a snowstorm, but secretly a prince
from Artemisia, a tiny aristocratic country in Europe that no one has ever
heard of. Luckily, he’s rich, & all.
JOY (paired with Paul), a romance novelist, visiting the inn to try to break
her writer’s block.
PAUL (Paired with Joy), a rival romance novelist, running his own writer’s retreat— kind of a self-important jerk, but with the love of the right woman, he’s probably a pretty nice guy.
CAROL (Paired with Jackson), a war reporter, home for the holidays, tired
of big city life.
JACKSON (Paired with Carol) a veterinarian, who owns two golden
retrievers.
MERRY (Paired with Blake) in town to search out the perfect Christmas
tree for the big Christmas celebration in the big city. A real estate lawyer
businessperson with no time for love.
BLAKE (Paired with Merry), rugged, owner of a tree farm. He’s heartbroken but oh-so-handsome.

parade, but he has troubles, & all. Troubles. Currently working as a real
estate lawyer businessperson.
NOELLE (Paired with Kris) owner of the oldest Christmas ornament
boutique in town, charged with helping Kris quit his job and become a full
time Santa. Filled with the Christmas spirit.
SVEN (paired with Rita), the secret prince of Broxtenburg, which is another
tiny aristocratic country in Europe that no one has ever heard of. Shocker,
he is also rich as heck.
RITA (paired with Sven), movie star filming a movie in Hopewood Falls, but
pretending to be an ordinary girl.
