As December turns Lake Eden into the North Pole, the heat is on in Hannah Swensen’s kitchen to honor

two Christmas promises: baking irresistible holiday cupcakes and preventing a person who attempted murder

from succeeding the second time around!

While Hannah speeds through a lengthy holiday checklist, drama in town grows like Santa’s waistline on Christmas

Eve. Her sister Andrea wants to stave off the blues by helping out at The Cookie Jar, Michele’s love life is becoming

complicated, Lisa needs Hannah’s advice, and Delores has a Christmas secret she’s not willing to share. But nothing

dampens the holiday mood more than the chilling mystery surrounding the man found near death in an abandoned

storefront two doors down from Hannah’s bakery …

The befuddled John Doe can’t recall a thing about himself—except for his unusual knowledge of restoring antique

furniture. With a smattering of clues and barely enough time to frost Christmas cookies, Hannah must solve a deadly

puzzle that could leave her dashing through the snow for her life!
