What is Mr. & Mrs. Christmas about?

Here’s the synopsis from Hallmark Channel:

“Taylor Lewis (Penny) is a single dad and holiday display expert who relocates to the charming town of Pineway with his two children just weeks before Christmas.  Despite the challenges of a new home, new school and a daughter who seems to be outgrowing their cherished holiday traditions he’s determined to make the season magical.  As Taylor takes charge of the town’s beloved Christmas Market revival, he finds himself unexpectedly partnered with Sophie Shaw (Hutton), a practical accountant hoping to prove she’s ready for a new leadership role.  Together, the unlikely duo brings fresh ideas, festive spirit and plenty of Christmas cheer to the community.  But when Taylor’s well-intentioned efforts to help his teenage daughter backfire, he begins to realize that yuletide can’t be forced, it has to be discovered.  As Taylor and Sophie grow closer, they learn that embracing change may be the key to creating new traditions and new memories.”
