Plot Synopsis

With Christmas approaching, Eve Morgan, an ambitious stockbroker lacking holiday spirit, strives to land a prestigious new client and be made a partner at her Chicago brokerage firm. She slips on an icy sidewalk while on her way to a business meeting and suffers an untimely death. Upon her arrival in heaven, she is greeted by Pearl, a veteran guardian angel, who informs her that she's been chosen to become a Christmas angel. As Pearl guides her through her transition and maps out her responsibilities as an angel, Eve learns she's also been assigned the task of granting a holiday wish for Lauren, a 9-year old girl, who prays for her uncle Max, a handsome down-and-out musician, to find happiness in time for Christmas. Despite Pearl's efforts to keep her on track, and reminder that angels aren't allowed to form relationships, she begins to develop romantic feelings for Max. As she warms up to Christmas and the holiday spirit washes over her, she sets out to grant Lauren's wish with a plan to jump-start Max's struggling music career. But after completing her task she is suddenly beckoned back to heaven with Christmas only two days away. Now that she has finally discovered the true meaning of Christmas, and the power of love and family, she wishes it isn't too late for her own holiday prayers to be answered.
