On her way home for a Christmas full of Norwegian traditions, Paige Sorensen is pulled over by the county sheriff in the small town of Higgins. The town's annual Christmas dinner is in danger of being canceled, so the judge sentences Paige to community service, putting her experience as a caterer to good use.
The one thing she doesn't count on is working with Wes-a good-looking deputy who can't stand the holiday season. He makes sure the less fortunate have a merry Christmas, but the secrets behind his eyes say he may never celebrate it in his heart.
Paige fears being stuck in Higgins will ruin her family holiday, but as she helps others, she begins to discover what Christmas-and love-truly mean.
Keeping Christmas was inspired by the Christmas Song "Good King Wenceslas."
