    ⛸️ Event planner Holly Berry is organizing the annual Frost Fair in the picturesque town of Snowflake Valley when the festival's star ice sculptor is found frozen solid inside his own masterpiece—an intricate ice castle. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Holly notices the ice pick lodged in the sculpture isn't the artist's usual tool and the frozen victim's expression suggests anything but accidental death. With the festival's future on thin ice, Holly must skate through a suspect list as long as the winter is cold. Assisted by the town's handsome new baker and her team of enthusiastic festival volunteers, Holly discovers the victim had melted plenty of hearts and made even more enemies. From sabotaged ice blocks to mysterious thermal camera footage, every clue points to a killer who knows their way around subzero temperatures. But as Holly gets closer to the truth, the killer sends a chilling warning by leaving a threatening message carved into her own ice sculpture. Now Holly must melt the icy hearts surrounding her to uncover the truth before she becomes the next frozen casualty at the Frost Fair.
