Smoochin' Santa

Just days before Christmas, a blizzard comes to Holiday Hamlet, leaving Nikki Ryder, a young taxi driver from Kentucky, stranded at Christmas Castle, a lonely mansion way up in the mountains. Nikki can't take her eyes off the owner of the house-Jonathan Sleet, a successful, handsome writer of children's books and the father of her young passenger, Christie. There's just one problem... He insists Christie isn't his daughter. Unable to contain her disgust, Nikki berates him for forgetting the face of his own child, but Jonathan silences her with a surprise kiss! The blizzard rages on outside, leaving Nikki and Christie no choice but to stay at Christmas Castle until the storm subsides...
