It’s snowy. It’s fun. It’s Christmas.Suddenly—GUNSHOT!—and we’re transported into a war zone. It’s not good. Next thing you know, a troop walks into a church to tell a woman that her husband has passed.Two years later, that same woman is trying to get back out there and date. Her name is Hannah. She has a daughter, Carmen, which makes dating tricky. After one particularly awkward date, she FaceTimes her brother, who is in the military. She talks about how swamped she is with her military service project and all the work at the church. He could not be less helpful.Meanwhile, he’s getting banged up in active combat. A fellow troop named Ryan checks on him to make sure he’s okay. On his next call with Hannah, he says, “I met this amazing all-American guy that I think you’d really like.” Hannah isn’t interested at first—but then she realizes her daughter’s biggest Christmas wish is for a new dad.Her brother secretly sets up a call with Ryan for her military project, hoping they’ll hit it off. Their conversation is awkward—possibly one of the most awkward ever—but somehow it goes well. They start talking more, exchanging gifts, and eventually Ryan tells her he’s coming home and asks her out on a proper date.The date starts awkwardly—Hannah is so used to talking to him on a screen—but it warms up. Ryan reveals he knew her late husband, and even tells some drunk dudes to back off. They keep hanging out while he’s in town.Eventually, Ryan has to return to war, but they promise to keep communicating. Hannah struggles—she wants a man who is truly present. She asks if he would consider leaving the military after his tour. He does not take it well. This is his calling. They decide to take a step back.A magical Santa shows up to remind Hannah about a soldier’s obligation to God and country.Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Ryan talks to a superior who basically tells him: you’ve got to fight for this girl. His brother back home jokes that he has no idea what he just talked to—there was no visitor today—but whatever.They try to talk things out on a call, but it’s cut short because their base is under attack. Hannah later gets a call: her brother is safe and on the way—but they don’t know where Ryan or his troop currently is.On Christmas Day, everyone goes to church. The pastor brings out Ryan as a surprise. They hug, he proposes, she says yes, and they kissssss!
