The Town That Sucked at Christmas

Audiences watch a theatrical production set in the 1890s following Holly, an ambitious PR and marketing professional assigned to help a struggling community called Little Town. She must help the residents win an annual holiday competition against their rival town to save Little Town from being demolished and replaced by an overpriced farmer's market. During her efforts, Holly navigates the townspeople's unexpected kindness as she attempts to secure their victory.
