From award-winning screenwriter/director Candy Cain comes a Christmas story that packs love, nostalgia, and community into a single jar. In Lake Placid, NY, Rose inherits her mom’s home, reuniting her with her childhood friend, Summer. Sparks fly with old pal Everett, and the trio uses Rose’s mom’s jam recipe to save the town church, blending nostalgia, love, and community.
The film is slated to begin principal photography in Lake Placid, NY and the surrounding areas, today, Monday Dec. 4 and wrap around Thursday Dec. 21, Cain said.
“The perfect holiday film is a combination of humor and sappiness,” Cain said, whose previous holiday films include JOY & HOPE and SANTA’S SECOND WIFE.
Lake Effect Life
I’ve lived primarily in two places during my life, Saranac Lake and Watertown, New York. On any given day, from October through May, one or the other is either the coldest or snowiest place in the lower 48. Sometimes both.
When I say the term “Lake Effect,” North Country folks know exactly what I’m talkin’ about. Especially those hardy souls who live & work along the Adirondack Park’s western Tug Hill Plateau Blue Line boundary.
As we head into 2023’s winter holiday snow season, I thought I’d share a flashback to last year’s Christmas storm mayhem. For the full story, click the link & read on.
