A Preview of Christmas Connection
Christmas Connection is a feel-good holiday story about the possibility of finding love in the most unexpected places and times of your life. This is something the main character, Sydney, who happens to be a flight attendant, experiences firsthand during a seemingly routine flight. Sydney is responsible for taking care of young Leah, an unaccompanied minor, as she’s on her way to reunite with her father, Jonathan for the holidays. Part of Sydney’s job is to make sure that Leah has a safe and enjoyable flight, and she doesn’t take this responsibility lightly. After Leah departs from the plane, Sydney discovers that she left behind an important package and she does everything in her power to track down the little girl to return it to her, thus derailing her own holiday plans. Ultimately, Sydney finds out where Leah and her father live and personally delivers the package to its rightful owner. As a show of gratitude for Sydney’s kind act, Jonathan invites her to spend the holidays with him and his daughter and they eventually fall in love!
