The protagonist of the Lifetime movie A Christmas in Tennessee is bakery owner Allison Brentley (Rachel Boston, Witches of East End). She runs her small business Rocky Top Bakery in the small mountain town of White Pines, Tennessee with her daughter Olivia (Kate Moyer) and mother Martha. The town gets turned upside down when charming real estate developer Matthew (Andrew Walker) tries to buy Rocky Top Bakery and the rest of the town — which he intends to convert into a corporate ski resort. Allison, her daughter and mom do their best to prevent that from happening.
