Three times the holiday magic. Three times the chaos.

As strangers and seatmates Maryam Aziz and Anna Gibson fly to Toronto over the holidays — Maryam to her sister's impromptu wedding, and Anna to meet her boyfriend's wealthy family for the first time—neither expect that severe turbulence will scare them into confessing their deepest hopes and fears to one another. At least they'll never see each other again. And the love of Maryam's life, Saif, wasn't sitting two rows behind them hearing it all. Oops.

When Anna, Maryam, Saif, and Maryam's sister's bridal party are snowbound at a quirky inn on the outskirts of Snow Falls — a picture-perfect town where a holiday romance starring Anna's actor-crush is being filmed — chaos ensues. But as Maryam and Anna start to feel the magic of Snow Falls — and find love better than their deepest hopes — they just might realize there's no place they'd rather be for the holidays.
