Jessy Schram, Chandler Massey & Patti Murin in Mystic Christmas
According to the official synopsis, Juniper Jones (Schram) is a world-traveling marine veterinarian, who isn’t afraid of anything, except getting stuck in one place.
Meanwhile, when a favor for her college roommate takes her to the seaside town of Mystic, Connecticut, during the holidays, Juniper is happy to visit a new place. There, she will be taking a temporary position at the Marine Mammal Rehabilitation Center and Aquarium.
Here, Juniper works to help a seal named Peppermint be released back into the wild. However, when not busy working, she explores Mystic and finds herself falling in love with the town, its people, and, much to her dismay, the owner of the pizza shop, Sawyer (Massey). Some years back, she had spent a romantic night with Sawyer.

Meanwhile, after their awkward reunion, Juniper and Sawyer agree to move forward and forget about their shared past. Despite this, their spark is once again ignited.
However, there is a ticking clock on their romance, since Juniper is only in Mystic on a temporary basis. Moreover, Sawyer insists that he is too entrenched in his hometown to leave, even at the expense of some of his life dreams.
While Juniper continues to insist that she has no plans to stay, the interns she oversees, and Sawyer himself, firmly entrench Juniper in the community. Moreover, as she catches the holiday spirit, Juniper realizes that what she initially believed she wanted out of life may have changed. Meanwhile, she inspires Sawyer to go after the life he has always dreamed of. In the long run, Sawyer and the rest of Mystic show Juniper what it feels like to really belong to a community.
