Christmas At Candy Cane Crossroads
Christmas At Candy Cane Crossroads
Featured Products
Some gifts come wrapped in snowflakes and second chances.
After losing so much, Holly Honeysett has learned to keep her world small and safe. She heads home to Candy Cane Crossing, hoping to find peace and purpose amid the twinkling lights and Christmas carols.
Love is low on her to-do list; somewhere after vacuuming the attic.
As Holly volunteers to prepare for the town’s annual Snowflake Festival and Jingle Bell Ball, she begins to see that God’s hand is in every detail — every coincidence, every meeting, every gentle nudge toward love.
What she doesn’t expect is — Mr. Pierce, a kind-hearted man who knows loss as deeply as she does, and whose smile melts more than the winter frost. His gentle way awakens something tender in Holly’s heart, something she’s afraid to trust but can’t ignore.
Sweet, cozy, and brimming with small-town magic, Christmas at Candy Cane Crossing reminds us that sometimes the sweetest gifts come when we least expect them.
