SYNOPSIS:

Based on the book of the same author. A Road for the Christmas Tree is a heartfelt holiday tale of self-discovery, tradition, and the joy of unexpected romance. Karen, a young proofreader from New York City, works diligently at Gardening and Forestry magazine, always keeping a low profile—until one day, when she’s sent on assignment to a small town to interview a local forestry family about the perfect Christmas tree.

Arriving in the charming, snow-covered town, Karen meets Mike, a rugged, unassuming lumberjack who surprises her with his quiet intelligence and deep respect for nature. As they explore the spruce-laden forest together, Mike shares his perspective on Christmas trees: each one is unique, and the best tree for someone is the one that resonates with their spirit. Karen is fascinated by his simple yet profound view on life and struck by his humility and warmth—qualities she hasn’t found in her city life. Mike turns out to be more than he appears; he’s the son of the town’s revered forestry family, who run a respected business rooted in tradition and sustainability.

Back in New York, Karen’s boss Pete—a charming editor known for his sophistication—starts to take an interest in her after a chance encounter reveals her natural beauty and intelligence. Pete’s polished confidence initially captivates Karen, but memories of Mike’s sincerity, humor, and quiet strength linger. Despite Pete’s attempts to win her over, Karen finds herself continually drawn to the rustic charm and kindness she experienced in the snowy woods with Mike.

Adding depth to Karen’s journey is her loyal neighbor, who provides support and insights into Karen’s true character—sincere, caring, and unafraid to embrace new possibilities. Karen’s beloved cat also reflects her nurturing nature, forging an unexpected bond with Mike while remaining distant from Pete, showing where Karen’s heart truly lies.

Filled with the spirit of Christmas, love, and the magic of finding one’s true path, A Road for the Christmas Tree is a warm, nostalgic reminder that sometimes, the greatest gifts are found in the most unexpected places. This timeless holiday romance is perfect for anyone who believes in love, destiny, and the cherished traditions that make Christmas unforgettable.
