Plot
Elizabeth is the star of a successful cooking show and the author of several cookbooks. Alexander, her manager, sees a heroic forest ranger named Jefferson on the television news, saying he has lost his cabin in a fire and wishes he could get a home-cooked Christmas dinner.

Alexander arranges for Elizabeth to do a special live show on Christmas, where she will cook a Christmas dinner for Jefferson. In reality, Elizabeth cannot cook and trying to keep Jefferson and the viewing public from finding out may be a little difficult, especially on a live show.
