Jonathan and Rachel are two typical kids, living in rural Vermont. As the Christmas holiday approaches, they are looking forward to both the snows of winter and the traditions of the holiday. When tragedy strikes the family and their grandmother ends up in the hospital, the two children use their cunning and compassion to work together to save Christmas for their family and the town. Through ingenuity and resourcefulness, they use their family's horses and the family sleigh to overcome a horrible winter storm and enjoy the celebration bustling around the Vermont town of Randolph, Vermont on Christmas Eve.
