Plot
Eve Morgan is a work-focused woman who has pushed aside most other aspects of her life to focus on a successful career. When she is killed in a fall close to Christmas, she is greeted by Pearl, an angel who reveals that Eve has been chosen to become a Christmas angel and help Max, a musician working as a fry cook who has been taking care of his niece since her parents died a few years ago. Eve is able to inspire Max to try out for an audition he recently missed, and even falls for him, but is taken away by Pearl who reveals that Eve's time as an angel was only temporary; Eve has been in a coma since the fall, Pearl explaining that she gave Eve the chance to be an angel to save her own life as well as give Eve a chance to help others. Eve wakes up with no conscious memory of her time as an angel, and those she has helped only remember her influence on them rather than remembering her specifically, but she takes the lessons she learnt to heart and works to be more connected to her brother and his family, even meeting Max under new circumstances. As Max and Eve "resume" their relationship, Pearl is shown watching them with Max's sister, who reveals that they arranged this to give Max a chance at happiness.
