One December Day



A relatable, emotional rollercoaster of a love story, set over fifteen years

When Laura and Luke fall in love one December, it's like all their Christmasses have come at once. She's got the world at her feet; he's the gorgeous frontman of a band. And they're completely smitten.

A year later, we meet Luke and Laura again, just in time to see them welcoming the most magical gift of all: baby Dylan.

Twelve months later, they're in the Maldives - celebrating Christmas in style. But another year on, things look rocky as Luke's fame is taking its toll. Next Christmas, their relationship goes up in flames.

This December, can Luke finally win Laura back - and prove that love isn't just for Christmas?
