Mary Christmas has always ruled the holidays. She isn't just the neighborhood eccentric- she's the Queen of Winter. Generous with her magic, wicked with her cookies, and petty enough to enjoy watching the neighborhood Karen fret over every gothic gargoyle and perfectly spooky skeleton.
Despite centuries of conjuring up joy and chaos, she's never quite mastered one thing... fitting in. When her nosy neighbor Phyrne Nesbitt challenges her place as reigning holiday royalty, Mary is ready to sleigh! No spells. No shortcuts. Just glitter, garlands, and a grudge.
But all her years of magic haven't prepared her for suburban decorating warfare as the feud quickly escalates into a full blown neighborhood spectacle. When the neighborhood overloads the power grid, Thanksgiving is doomed if Mary can't set aside her grinchy grievances and find a way to bridge traditions.
Caught between a battle of broken lights and deflated lawn ornaments, Mary must face the possibility the community she spent years keeping at arm's length might be exactly the ingredient she's been missing.
A magical, laugh out loud holiday comedy about rivalry and finding connection in the most unexpected places.
