💫 “Love doesn’t grow old… it grows brighter.”
Vivian and Edward Lewis have built a beautiful life—classy, quiet, deeply bonded, and a little too predictable. Now in their fifties, Edward has stepped back from business almost completely, while Vivian’s charity for disadvantaged women has grown into a national foundation. Their biggest challenge these days isn’t scandal or judgment—it’s routine. Comfort. Familiarity.
This Christmas, Beverly Hills plans something spectacular: the grand reopening of the renovated Regent Beverly Wilshire, the hotel where their legendary love story began. The city wants Vivian and Edward to be the “Honorary Couple of Christmas,” the faces of Rodeo Drive’s winter celebration. Edward thinks it’s charming. Vivian wants to disappear; she’s terrified the media will drag up her past again and overshadow her foundation’s work.
Things get complicated when Daniel Hartman (Paul Rudd), a widowed billionaire philanthropist, arrives in Beverly Hills searching for a partner to co-lead a groundbreaking global charity initiative. He admires Vivian’s work and becomes instantly—almost overly—enthusiastic about collaborating with her. He’s warm, funny, goofy, and disarmingly charming… which makes Edward bristle in a way he hasn’t in decades.
Meanwhile, Lily (Kaitlyn Dever), their daughter, returns home after quitting her job in New York. Vivian thinks she’s struggling with heartbreak. Edward thinks she’s avoiding responsibility. The truth is, Lily feels overshadowed by her parents’ iconic love story and is terrified she’ll never have a life as meaningful or magical as theirs.
With the holiday festivities underway, everything begins to unravel:
• The press starts speculating about Vivian and Daniel’s “chemistry” after a photo of them laughing goes viral.
• Edward grows insecure but doesn’t know how to voice it.
• Lily feels invisible in her own home.
• Vivian questions whether she’s shrinking herself out of fear of her past—or fear of outgrowing the life she built.
All of it comes to a head during the Rodeo Drive Christmas Parade, where Vivian is supposed to wave from a classic convertible as the “Christmas Queen of Beverly Hills.” Minutes before the parade begins, she panics, feeling exposed and unworthy, and slips away through the back exit—straight into the lobby of the Beverly Wilshire.
There, under a towering Christmas tree, she finds the last person she expects: Hector, still working as the elegant conscience of the hotel. He gives her a gentle reminder:
💬 “The world didn’t fall in love with a perfect woman, dear. It fell in love with a brave one.”
Snow machines begin to spray tiny flakes across Rodeo Drive as Edward hurries into the lobby searching for her. Instead of anger, he approaches her with the same soft-eyed look he had the night he first asked her to stay.
💬 Edward: “I’m not losing you. I’m just afraid… I already have.”
💬 Vivian: “Then hold on to me. Just like before.”
They return to the parade together—hand in hand—as the crowd cheers for them not as symbols of perfection, but of love that grew, matured, stumbled, and shone even brighter.
Christmas morning is simple: pajamas, orange juice, their daughter curled between them on the couch. Lily admits she feels lost. Vivian and Edward tell her the truth—they were lost too, once. And that’s exactly how you find the right beginning.
Vivian accepts Daniel’s offer to partner in the global charity—but with Edward by her side as her advisor. Lily decides to stay in Beverly Hills for a while, helping her mother’s foundation and starting her own photography project about “real love stories.”
And as snow falls on Rodeo Drive—fake, but beautiful nonetheless—Vivian whispers to Edward:
💬 “Big mistake. Huge… if we ever stop choosing each other.”
A timeless holiday sequel about romance that deepens, families that grow, and the sparkle of a love story that still turns heads on Rodeo Drive.
