    Narrated by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt 
    A weekend in a snowed in cabin. And all kinds of ways to get warm.... I figured moonlighting as a Santa stripper was the most exciting thing on my docket this holiday season.  
    But that was before Macy Clayton careened back into my life, before we were snowed in at a secluded ranger station with nothing but each other to keep warm.  
    And yes, what the survivalists say is true—you really do stay warmer, and happier, when you're naked.  
    Soon, Macy and I are back on track to forever. But crossed signals and old wounds prove that second chances can be tricky, even during the most wonderful time of the year.  
    I'll pull out all the stops to prove to Macy she's the only one I want to jingle my bells, but will it be enough to pull off a Christmas miracle?
