Their annual one-off show in a small town highlighting the town's Christmas traditions, this year in the town of Mistletoe, has been expanded to a week culminating with a primetime special on Christmas Eve. These changes were made in light of the announcement to both Brian and Mel at the same time of the second change, something that Mel didn't know was in the works: that the network has granted Brian's request to have his contract terminated--the request probably in no longer wanting to work with Mel--and they will announce Brian's departure on his last appearance: the Christmas Eve special.

Movie: A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love ( 2020 )
In Boise, Idaho, Pat Godfrey and Margie Southworth were young sweethearts, which was particularly special to Margie because Pat's family was more like a real family than her own emotionally-distant one was. Margie's first job working for retailer Connor and Co. at their Oak Street store also felt like family, especially under her manager Willa. But when Pat moved to Hawaii immediately following high school for his dream of working in the outdoor-adventure business, Margie decided to stay in Boise. He asked her to go with him, but she thought he would only be there until he discovered his true life and career. Now 20 years later, right before Christmas, Margie is still working at Connor and Co., still in Boise but in their regional office as the VP of Marketing and Promotions; Willa is still her boss. Margie met her current boyfriend of six months, Scott, in the company; he worked in the field office 90 minutes away, so they've been doing the long-distance relationship thing. When Scott is brought into the regional office for training under Margie, they will get an opportunity to deepen their relationship in the probability that he is training for a job in the Boise office. Meanwhile, Pat, now divorced and the primary parent to adolescent sons PJ and John, has just sold his outdoor-adventure company in Hawaii for a job in Boise to be closer to his ex-wife Casey in San Francisco for the boys' sake, and to be closer to his now-widowed mother Lois, with whom they'll be living until they find something more permanent. Pat's job falls through so he scrambles to find another. He had planned to contact Margie in the New Year just as old friends, but fate seems to usurp Pat and they accidentally run into each other...again and again and again. While Lois believes their encounters are "Godwinks" at work telling them that they are meant to be together, which is the case if they listen to their hearts, their brains might be telling them something else. Pat feels his first priority is to find that job regardless of what that actually means in practical terms, and Margie feels the need to explore what a more-dedicated relationship with Scott entails, while both begin to believe that Scott being brought in for training at the Boise office means work changes for both of them, and not necessarily in a good way for Margie.

Beyond their mutual animosity stemming from their less-than-pleasant recent first encounter, Amelia Lewis and Vic Manning seem always to be competing against each other, most importantly for a commercial property each wants to purchase in White Oak, Nevada for her/his dream store, hers a year-round Christmas store, and his a chocolate shop. As each bid has its merits - hers all cash, his above asking--the real-estate agent must consult with the property owner who has the final say. Amelia and Vic separately have the same idea to discover the property owner's identity and make a personal plea directly to him (Elder Dubois, who lives an hour away in Castle Creek). They arrive there unannounced at about the same time to make individual pitches. Elder tells them that he is unable or unwilling to make a snap decision concerning the property. As Elder is all alone for Christmas for the first time since his wife recently passed and he's long been estranged from his young-adult daughter Marjorie, Amelia and Vic offer to help him with anything until he makes up his mind; he suggests that they chair Castle Creek Commercial Center's annual Christmas decorating competition. He and his wife always enjoyed doing that, but this year he hasn't the spirit without her. The competition, which is a bragging-rights-only one against the nearby town of Crystal, always seems to end up being a competition between Castle Creek's own merchants, which is probably the reason Crystal has won five years straight. The few things the Castle Creek merchants can agree on are the same Winter Wonderland theme year after year for ease, and featuring one merchant each year on a rotating basis. This year it's the pottery shop owned by the most outspoken and demanding of the bunch, Rowena Marson. In turn, Elder invites them to stay in his home rather than spending money on hotel rooms. In working on the decorating competition together, they must bring the merchants together as a cohesive whole--which means cooperating themselves. In the process, Amelia and Vic start to fall for each other. Could their emerging feelings be able to overcome their suspicions about each other concerning the property and the kind acts toward Elder, which could be seen solely as wanting that upper hand?
