About Home Sweet Christmas

In Home Sweet Christmas, Sophie Marlow (Candace Cameron Bure), a successful mergers and acquisitions attorney, is called home to Waynesbridge, Washington, following her great-uncle’s passing. Uncle Henry left Sophie 60% ownership in Marlow Maple Meadows, a sprawling sugar maple forest.
Though Sophie hasn’t been on the property in decades, she begins retracing the happy steps of her youth and encounters Sam (Cameron Mathison), her long-lost childhood friend. Sam has also returned to the farm after learning Henry left him the other 40% of the property.
While they initially plan a quick sale, Sophie and Sam soon realize neither of them is ready to let go of the property — or the budding feelings between them.
