This comedy explores the fragility and strength of community. In Kringle, ON, it’s July, and it’s hot. It’s also the second week of 52 straight weeks of Christmas. An inspired attempt to woo tourists to the once-thriving, now-struggling village, constant Christmas turns out to be more complicated than the residents of Kringle originally thought. While struggling with their own logistics and complications an entrepreneur from Toronto arrives with a proposal which will force Kringle’s residents to commit to Christmas indefinitely, or completely reconsider.
