“Bright-eyed beauty and perfumer Ellie Reddy (Contractor) is tasked by her boss to create a holiday scent that will impress, so she decides to return to her quaint and festive family home for Christmas to find inspiration,” the synopsis reads. “There, she meets handsome yet bookish writer, Logan Osborne (Selkin), who is staying with her father at the family’s historic property, which includes her mother’s former candle-making cottage.”
“After finding her father struggling to keep her late mother’s candle business afloat, Ellie and Logan decide to complete the orders and inadvertently bring Christmas cheer back to the town, all while falling in love,” the synopsis concludes.
“Scentsational Christmas” airs Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on Lifetime.
