Unfortunately, this year, Em is forced to work—as an elf!—at her parents’ Santa Photo Booth at the mall. There, Em meets Alejandro Perez, who works at the hot cocoa shop next door and is always full of holiday spirit.

But the more time Em spends with Alex, the more she realizes that she may not be the Grinch she always thought she was.
