In the new Hallmark film, "A Fabled Holiday," Anderson (Ryan Paevey) and Talia (Brooke D'Orsay) are childhood friends that were separated when Talia moved away. The two accidentally meet as adults in Talia's bookstore. Anderson has become a successful surgeon who is disillusioned when he can't save a patient, and Talia owns the bookshop while fielding one writing rejection after another. When she inadvertently calls the wrong number, Talia is intrigued by an offer from the person on the other end to partake in a short getaway in a cozy town. Having car trouble at the same time, Anderson finds himself detoured also to the town and bumps into Talia.
A couple on the brink of divorce named Diane (Carmel Amit) and Keith (David Attar), along with a lonely widower named Charles, also find themselves somehow in the town, and the group is greeted by Judy (Rochelle Greenwood) and Miles (John Murphy), who are townspeople that explain to the travelers the joy to be found at the town's annual "Night of Wunder." At first, only Talia notices the similarities between the town they are in and the one portrayed in their childhood book, "A Wunderbrook Christmas Story." Judy and Miles, along with the goofy Jake (Jake Guy) and the surly Mildred (Patti Allan), secretly worry that if they don't help the guests resolve their issues by the Night of Wunder, the town will lose its magic (per Mr. Dustbin).
