Christmas in the City

Wendy (Ashley Williams) is desperately trying to prevent the looming financial collapse of her dead father's beloved little candy story as CHRISTMAS IN THE CITY opens. With her mother and 5-year-old daughter, Grace (Kylie Price), Wendy lives in the cozy town of her childhood, but realizes that she must take a temporary job in "the city" to make enough money to save the store. She and Grace move in with childhood friend Angie (Shanola Hampton), who is supporting her acting dreams with a day job selling toys at Wolman's, a large department store that is having its own money troubles. Sunny Wendy, a woman full of Christmas spirit, immediately catches the eye of Tom Wolman (Jon Prescott), a decent man who is number two in charge of the store. In the face of financial setbacks, the store's board has hired Teanna (Ashanti), a ruthless, scheming, money-obsessed consultant who is dismantling the store's old-fashioned Christmas vibe and replacing it with intrusive rap videos denouncing Santa and touting the power of buying. Will Christmas be ruined? Rest assured that all ends well.
