Plot of The Christmas Edition
Jackie is an up-and-coming journalist and the protagonist of this addicting romedy. Just when she thinks everything is going great, life throws her a series of unexpected curveballs.
First, she splits from her longtime boyfriend. And next, the newspaper she was working for shutters.
An unexpected opportunity comes at the edge of the world in Alaska. A small-town newspaper company is ready to be taken over for free by anyone willing to keep it running.
Jackie decides to seize the opportunity and moves to the picturesque Alaskan town. With a series of Christmas articles, Jackie transforms the company into a popular publication.
On the way to becoming a newspaper mogul, Jackie has a brewing romance with Finn, the son of the former owner of the company.
Her life seems back on track until the boss from her previous job shows up. Jackie’s ex-boss, Melanie, announces her plans to take over Jackie’s new newspaper for herself.
Jackie, though, isn’t ready to give it up. She is counting on Finn and a Christmas miracle to keep her beloved newspaper for herself.
