When Connor Finch insists his one-time Tinder match, Shae, come to his dad’s house for Thanksgiving with her two daughters, it’s because he refuses to let them be alone on her first holiday post-divorce. When she arrives at the Christmas tree farm and ranch he grew up on, she meets his father—the crazy tall, built, golden retriever of a cowboy who tells her girls all about the magic of the stupid elf on a shelf. Later, when she corners Connor to say thanks a lot for nothing and that she’s way too overwhelmed to take on another responsibility, he feels terrible. So terrible that he starts driving two hours every night to deliver an elf, move him around, and create Christmas magic for her girls. But what happens when he decides their meeting was some kind of Christmas miracle and he needs to convince Shae to give him a shot?
