Ten-year-old Michelle Sinclair wants to flip her family’s dull basement into the ultimate kids-only lounge, but her parents won't fund it and her strict, rule-following 13-year-old brother, Ricky, refuses to help. The summer takes a turn when a massive mystery crate of recently banned, hyper-sour hard candy accidentally arrives at their doorstep. After failing to return it, their schoolteacher mother, Connie, is told by corporate headquarters to just throw the discontinued product away. Seeing it as harmless junk, Connie hands the box over to Michelle to get it out of the way, unknowingly giving her daughter the keys to a black-market kingdom.
Recognizing a total monopoly on the most coveted contraband in town, Michelle puts on a sharp pink suit, turns the air-conditioned kitchen into her corporate headquarters, and recruits neighborhood kids to build a lucrative underground candy cartel. When Ricky tries to thwart the business to uphold household rules, Michelle calls him to the negotiation table, offering him executive co-ownership of the future basement lounge in exchange for his older-kid logistical help. Ricky folds, forming "The Sugar Syndicate." Dodging close calls with their oblivious mom, the siblings navigate shifting alliances and corporate backstabbing to hit their financial goal, ultimately revealing their spectacular new underground headquarters and proving that while sugar is power, family is the ultimate asset.
Charming Texas cowboy Jasper Davenport is the new eligible bachelor on Season 2 of the hit reality dating show The 12 Dates of Christmas. Filming takes place at a picturesque, snow-covered horse ranch in upstate New York, much to the annoyance of the ranch owner’s daughter, Sadie. Alongside her brother and their childhood friend Carlos, Sadie runs the day-to-day grit of the property and has zero patience for Hollywood nonsense.
However, when a high-maintenance contestant suffers a severe allergic reaction to the horses on day one, frantic producers beg Sadie to step in. Realizing the extra network payout will secure the ranch's winter expenses, she reluctantly agrees to play along as a wild-card contestant. Sadie fully expects the reality star to be a superficial clod, but to her surprise, Jasper isn't acting for the cameras—he’s genuinely looking for a real connection.
As they embark on festive winter dates, Sadie's authentic bond with Jasper melts her icy exterior, even as the other "Jingle Ladies" resort to cutthroat tactics and orchestrated drama to win his heart. When producer manipulation threatens to misunderstand her intentions, Sadie is caught between her growing feelings and her quiet life on the ranch with her brother and Carlos. She must decide whether to retreat to safety or risk her heart on national television. In a high-stakes holiday finale, Jasper must filter through the reality show noise to realize his truest love story was born right in the stables.
