More Detail:

MISTLETOE & MOLLY is a holiday romance on UPtv about a female barista looking to join the rival company to her father’s marketing firm. MISTLETOE & MOLLY is lighthearted, but contains some alcohol use at bars, so caution is advised for younger children.

Molly and her best friend and co-worker at the restaurant, Cameron, recognize that the store only has a few more months before it goes under. The two of them are the last two faithful employees, but both are looking to start their careers elsewhere.

Molly, who has a difficult relationship with her father, decides to apply to a rival company. She’s ecstatic when she’s called in for another interview. While working another shift at the restaurant, Molly finally has a conversation with a regular named Aiden Ford.

Molly, who has car troubles, is shocked when Aiden leaves a massive tip. She sneaks the money back to him, but he takes matters into his own hands and fixes her car. Later that week, Molly attends a concert to support Cameron. Not only does she meet Aiden at the concert, but her possible future employer too. Earlier that day, she had an interview that she believes could land her the job.

Molly and Aiden leave the concert together and agree to go on a date. While Aiden knows he loves Molly, she’s hesitant to jump into a relationship. She helps Aiden and his sister at holiday charity event and gets to know more about Aiden. Molly starts to warm up to Aiden until he makes several big mistakes.

Will Molly learn to forgive Aiden? Or, could this be the end to their Christmas romance?
