Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) wishes for the return of her fiancé, Constable Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing).
Meanwhile, town mayor Abigail (Lori Loughlin) leads the creation of Hope Valley’s Christmas Parade, featuring a passionate band, led by sheriff Bill Avery (Jack Wagner). Abigail’s newly adopted son, Cody (Carter Ryan Evancic), tries to make their first Christmas together special, connecting her past with their bright future.
Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) and Lee (Kavan Smith), Hope Valley’s most endearing married couple, will discover how important Christmas traditions and treasured memories are.
Meanwhile, Doctor Carson Shepherd (Paul Greene) exhibits faith and resilience when he tries to heal and inspire a guarded woman who has given up on the spirit of Christmas. And Hope Valley’s disgraced former mayor, Henry Gowen (Martin Cummins), gets a second chance at redemption.
