What Is Hallmark Haul Out The Holly Sequel About?

This is the first Christmas for the new couple Emily and Jared. They have time for some Christmas festivities. Most of all, they have to start early to make sure that Evergreen Lane looks as holly and jolly as ever. Ned, Mary Louise, and Pamela are ready to decorate.

Being the HOA president’s girlfriend has some perks, but it doesn’t keep her from getting decorating citations. Jared takes that role seriously.

Now, the neighborhood has a new distraction. One house goes up for sale and the neighborhood wants to know who is going to move in. Will they participate in their holiday decorating extravaganza?

When they arrive, they “turn out to be holiday royalty.” Now, the stakes are high. No long-time residence wants to be outshone by a newcomer, no matter what their reputation is.

“As the welcoming committee prepares for the new arrivals, only one thing is certain–this Christmas, Evergreen Lane is going to sleigh!”
