Synopsis

Retired cop Mike Halligan is determined to give his grandson the magic of a true white Christmas in New York—a first glimpse of snow and the wonder of the holiday season. But when a sudden, fatal heart attack strikes, his plans are tragically cut short.

Refusing to let go, Halligan strikes a celestial bargain with the Archangel of Heaven: one week back on Earth before Christmas to share the joy and enchantment of the city’s festive spirit with his beloved grandson. As time ticks down, their journey becomes a heartfelt celebration of family, love, and the miraculous power of the holiday season.
