Plan the rest of your December
All six December plots
Every cozy holiday movie leans on a handful of story ingredients. These are the six this quiz sorts you into. Open one to see its three watches.
The Small-Town Bakery Rescue
Flour, ovens and a street that shows up.
Your December runs on butter, deadlines and neighbors who turn up with trays. When the shop on the corner is in trouble, you would rather bake your way out of it.
Look for: Small-town bakery, small business vs. big developer, bakery flour fight, cookie-decorating contest.
See this DecemberThe Big-City Detour Home
One deadline, one train ticket, one slow week.
You are the one who keeps the calendar running, until a trip home rearranges it. Your December is about the moment the laptop closes and the town feels like yours again.
Look for: Big-city job offer, workaholic learns to slow down, holiday deadline at work, hometown visit after years away.
See this DecemberThe Second-Chance Snowfall
Bad timing, perfect snow.
Your December is a slow-burn romance with excellent weather. Someone from before turns up, the almost-kiss gets interrupted, and the snow arrives right on cue.
Look for: Ex returns for the holidays, almost-kiss interrupted, snow starts at the perfect moment, kiss in the falling snow.
See this DecemberThe Festival Committee Showdown
Strong opinions, bigger lights.
Your December has a clipboard in it. You run the tree lighting, judge the cookies and somehow keep a whole town cheerful, even when the sweater contest gets heated.
Look for: Christmas festival committee, town tree lighting, ugly sweater party, gingerbread house.
See this DecemberThe Family Inn Reunion
Every room full, every chair taken.
Your December is crowded in the best way: relatives, recipes and an old house that needs one more miracle. You keep the heirlooms safe and the porch light on.
Look for: Family inn needs saving, lost ornament or heirloom, wise grandparent advice, tree farm or lot.
See this DecemberThe Wise Stranger Surprise
A little magic, a lot of snow.
Your December has a thread to follow. A letter, a sleigh bell or a kind stranger points the way, and by the last scene the whole town has been quietly rearranged.
Look for: Mysterious wise stranger, letters to santa, sleigh or horse-drawn carriage, caroling scene.
