Jake Martin is a man holding on to a fading piece of Christmas magic. For decades, he’s made his living selling Christmas trees—real ones, the kind that smell like pine and carry the warmth of tradition. But the world is changing, and so is his place in it.
At 65 years old, Jake feels like a relic of another time, standing on his little tree lot while big box stores and online shopping quietly swallow up the season he once helped create. Yet Jake hasn’t just sold trees—he’s watched families grow. He’s seen little kids become teenagers, teenagers become parents, and familiar faces return year after year, searching for the perfect tree and the feeling that comes with it.
To his community, Jake’s lot has always been more than a business—it’s been part of their holiday tradition. But to his son, the tree lot is a dying industry, one he wants no part of. And for the first time, Jake begins to wonder if the legacy he’s built—rooted in hard work, tradition, and Christmas spirit—will disappear like snow melting after the holidays.
