Directed by Ruby Munro, the official synopsis of A Fabled Holiday, as per Hallmark Channel, reads:

"Talia and her childhood best friend Anderson delight in the pages of A Wunderbrook Christmas Story, in which a town full of Christmas spirit restores its visitors during their times of deep turmoil. Years later, Talia is a stalled writer who’s given up her pen, and Anderson is a doctor, shaken after a patient’s passing. They unexpectedly reunite in a curiously similar-looking town depicted in the book they loved, along with widower Charles and soon-to-be-divorced couple, Keith and Diane."

It continues:

"The local townspeople, led by Judy and Miles, worry they may not fulfill their mission in time for the closing Night of Wunder event this year, putting access to the secretly magical town in jeopardy. Nonetheless, as these visitors enjoy the town’s Week of Wunder festivities, with the clock ticking, each person is slowly starting to heal."
