A mysterious heart-shaped Christmas ornament gives her the answer: she wakes up in an alternate reality as a world-famous fashion designer.

What If Christmas
Subtitle: Be careful what you wish for—especially when Christmas decorations start making career decisions for you.
Erin has spent years supporting her husband's career as a heart surgeon while organizing hospital charity galas and quietly shelving her own dream of becoming a fashion designer. Then, thanks to a mysterious heart-shaped Christmas ornament, she wakes up in an alternate reality where she's a world-famous designer. Apparently, Santa has upgraded from delivering presents to providing full-blown career counseling.
There's just one catch: in this glamorous new life, Erin never married Adam. Suddenly, she's got the successful career she always wanted but is missing the man she loves. It's a classic case of discovering that having everything doesn't necessarily mean having everything that matters. Somewhere, a life coach is taking notes.
What If Christmas delivers the familiar romance, magical twists, and conveniently timed life lessons we've come to expect from Hallmark movies. It's a sweet reminder that following your dreams is important, but so is appreciating the people who support them. And when it comes to Hallmark holiday movies, nothing says Christmas magic quite like an ornament that apparently has access to an alternate-universe career simulator.
