Claire Bennett is a successful business consultant in Manhattan who unexpectedly inherits her beloved Uncle Lou's Christmas-themed bar, The Tipsy Reindeer, in upstate New York. When she returns, Claire discovers the bar comes with high debt – her Uncle Lou was overly generous to people in town while the booming business of Algorithm, an upscale and trendy new club, added insult to injury. She intends to turn things around before Christmas and sell to someone who will preserve her uncle's legacy and then return to her life in the city. Claire meets Zach, Algorithm's part owner and manager, who tells her they want to buy The Tipsy Reindeer so they can expand. Claire bristles at the proposition and they agree to face off in a 12 Days of Christmas-inspired series of festive events to see who can bring in the most business. If Claire wins, Zach will use his contacts to find the right buyer, but if Zach emerges victorious, Claire agrees to consider Algorithm's offer.
