Christmas by Design plot
Here's the synopsis of Christmas by Design from Hallmark Channel:
"Luxury fashion designer, Charlotte (Dalton), tirelessly works to make a name for herself from her New York City boutique, Alastair. So, she’s over the moon when she learns she’s been selected to participate in a design competition for the renowned Warwick’s department store. The assignment – to create a Christmas-themed collection for their home & family brand. There’s just one problem: Charlotte is just not that into Christmas and she can barely remember the last time she put aside her work long enough to enjoy some quality time with her family. When a pipe suddenly bursts in her apartment, she decides to take it as an omen and returns home for a family Christmas that she hopes will quickly inspire her next design. Charlotte arrives just in time to be thrown into the town’s annual 12-days-of-Elfcapades event, where she meets a handsome mechanic, Spencer (Keltz), who helps run the festivities. Despite a rocky first impression the two form a deep connection, giving Charlotte the creative spark she so desperately needs to inspire a new Christmas design... one that is completely different from anything she’s done before."

How to watch Christmas by Design
Christmas by Design is a Hallmark Channel original movie airing directly on the network. If you miss the premiere, you can catch it on demand the following day.
Hallmark Channel is included in many cable TV packages, but if you've cut the cord there are a few other options to help you watch. Hallmark Channel now has a partnership with Peacock so you can watch new movies on the streaming platform with a subscription.
You can also access Hallmark Channel via Philo, Sling TV, Frndly TV, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV and Fubo. While Hallmark Movies Now is the network's streaming arm, you cannot access new movies right away, so if you're looking to watch Countdown to Christmas 2023 movies, you'll need access to the live channel.
Viewers in the UK can access Hallmark Channel as an add-on subscription channel on Prime Video.
