Falling For Christmas Story Summary

Sierra Belmont (Lindsay Lohan), daughter of the wealthy hotel owner Mr Beauregard Belmont (Jack Wagner), struggles to get out of her father’s shadow and her identity as a spoilt brat and seldom gets a chance to take control of her own destiny. 

Sierra is dating an influencer named Tad (George Young) but their relationship seems superficial and lacks a solid foundation. Meanwhile, Jake Russell (Chord Overstreet), a hotel owner, struggles to keep his lodge North Star up and running and seeks Mr Belmont’s help in investing, but his proposal for investment meets with rejection. 

An upset Jake, on the verge of giving up, tells his daughter Avy to wish for a Christmas miracle and she makes a wish while out at the market. Her wish seems to get accepted as a man resembling Santa notices her making a wish and smiles as a gesture that her wish will soon be fulfilled. 

Tad meets Mr Belmont, but he fails to impress him because of his job as an influencer. The next day, Tad takes Sierra skiing and has a surprise for her in mind. He takes her to the icy mountaintop and proposes to her and Sierra accepts. Suddenly, an icy blizzard causes Sierra and Tad to fall off the cliff in different directions. 

Jake comes across the unconscious Sierra, rescues her, and takes her to a nearby hospital. The doctor says that physically she seems fine, but she has lost her memories as she can’t even remember her name. Jake offers to give her shelter in his lodge, and she finds it better to accept staying at North Star rather than at the hospital. 

At the North Star, Sierra meets Avy, and the two share an emotional connection. When Sierra spends time with Avy, Sierra remembers her mother. Though she doesn’t remember anything else, she does remember her mother’s face and the time they spent together. 

As Sierra still hasn’t got her memory back, Avy gives Sierra a new name – Sarah. Stuck at the lodge and not remembering her identity, Sierra has no choice but to adapt to her new life as Sarah.

Jake’s mother-in-law tells Sarah that his wife had passed away and Jake still struggles to move on from her. She also learns from Jake that he has a lot of fond memories attached to North Star and doesn’t want to lose them. 

Upon realizing how much North Star means to Jake and his family, Sarah comes up with an idea for a fundraiser. When she shares her idea with Jake, he lashes out at her saying that he can’t expect her to understand anything about memories as she has lost all of hers. 

Jake’s words hurt Sarah and she decides to leave North Star, but Jake realizes his mistake before it’s too late. Though he initially isn’t on board with the idea, he decides to join in when he confesses to Sarah that he has feelings for her but is afraid to act on them. 

Will Sierra And Jake Get Together?

Sarah and Jake organize a fundraiser party and a huge number of North Star’s previous clients attend and offer funds. A miracle in the form of the Mayor’s announcement of North star as a place of heritage restores hope and prosperity into Jake’s life. 

Meanwhile, Mr Belmont, back in town, starts searching for Sierra. The cops find out Sierra’s whereabouts, and Mr Belmont and Tad rush to Jake’s lodge to see her. When Sarah sees Mr Belmont and Tad, she remembers that she is Sierra. A heartbroken Sierra has no option, but to leave Jake and his family and return to her old life. 

Sierra realizes she has undergone a huge transformation as a person ever since she met Jake and accepts the same in an interview. After this epiphany, Sierra rejects her father’s offer to be the vice president of their hotel and also Tad’s marriage proposal. 

Meanwhile, Jake misses Sierra and decides to confess his love for her. He rushes to her hotel and expresses his feelings, and an elated Sierra reciprocates in the same fashion. In this way, Avy’s Christmas wish is fulfilled by Santa as North Star gets back its glory, and Jake and Sierra end up finding their true love in each other.
