It's the height of the Christmas season in Cayuga Cove and the
residents are preparing for the annual holiday gingerbread house
competition. With the Sweet Dreams Bakery a smashing success,
Vivienne and her assistant Stephanie create a charming reproduction
of a Victorian home landmark they are sure will snag the top prize.
However, when an anonymous 'Santa's Naughty List' starts appearing
on utility poles and community event bulletin boards all over town,
exposing the less-than-savory deeds of many local residents, the
holiday spirit quickly turns sour. When the first name mentioned on
the list is found murdered a few days later, the gift of suspicion
leads to holiday panic. Vivienne must catch a cunning killer before
her own goose is cooked
