About this listen

Celebrate the magic and music of the season with this scripted holiday romance by Emmy Award-winning writer Karen Schaler!

Rachel Rinehart’s Christmas season is on the brink of disaster when her record label suddenly drops her, threatening to end her music career. Then she receives a mysterious Christmas card, and everything starts to change....

Inside the card are lyrics to a classic Christmas carol urging her to return home to Crystal Falls, the snowy mountain town she left behind 15 years ago.

Once she arrives in Crystal Falls, a stroke of fate brings her face-to-face with her first love, Matt Meyers, who’s now a devoted single dad. Rachel continues to receive mysterious cards filled with Christmas carol lyrics and clues she must follow—all leading her back to Matt. Is it the work of a hometown matchmaker, or could it be Christmas magic? And will the music and majesty of the season help Rachel discover where she truly belongs?

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

This was such a cute little story to give you a burst of Christmas spirit 🎄

Cute Christmas Short

I didn't love the radio play approach at first. It seemed schlocky, and the acting in the first couple scene was over the top, but it got progressively better, and I grew used to the format. Overall, it's a nice story.

Old fashioned but sweet

The story was good, but the acting was wooden, the sound effects were a joke, and the audio quality was absolutely terrible, even when listening in enhanced audible format!

Good story, poorly executed

Lovely Christmas story

The story was nice and I even liked the different voices and noises-usually not my favourite audiobooks but it was all a bit rushed and kept on the surface. No time for real passion, love or even Christmas. It deserved to become a full story with ups and downs and full finale. Still liked the idea and the characters very much and for me Christmas is always a winner.

Second-chance romance featuring a famous shero and a widower hero, complete with music and a cozy Christmas card mystery.

Loved the full cast experience.

I enjoyed listening to this story, and the cast made the story come alive, and I could "see" it play out as a film while listening. Loved it! ❤️
