The Christmas Calendar Girls: A cosy and uplifting story filled with secrets and festive community spirit

Single mum Fern is new to the town of Chesterwood. But it already feels like home, and the perfect place for her new start. So when the local food bank finds itself under risk of closure, Fern knows it’s up to her to help save it. Starting with uniting the town to create a living advent calendar.

Fern and her best friends, Cara and Davina, call for help from the local community to bring this calendar to life. When Kit, the new man in town, offers his assistance too, Fern’s heart can’t help but skip a beat (or two).

But his past is holding him back and Fern doesn’t know how to reach him. No matter how hard she tries. And in this town, Kit’s not the only one with secrets. She, and her best friends, are also hiding things behind closed doors...

Can the Christmas Calendar Girls find a way to bring the community together in time to save the food bank, while still supporting their families and each other? And could Fern’s own heart be ready to be opened by Christmas Day?
