The Cookie Jar’s busiest time of the entire year also is actually the most wonderful time…for Xmas cookies, Hannah’s own special plum pudding – and romance! Holiday purchases are high, and Hannah’s slated to supply dessert in the Reverend Knudsen’s upcoming nuptials. She’s occupied as could be and loving it. She also gets a kick out of ‘Lunatic Larry Jaeger’s Crazy Elf Christmas Tree Lot’, a kitschy carnival taking place smack-dab in the center of the community green. Larry feels he’s crazy just like a fox about Plum Pudding Murder along with his outrageous business schemes, but this time, the entrepreneur may have bitten off a lot more than he can chew up. Rumour has it that Larry’s in debt – an idea that requires a sinister change when Hannah discovers the person himself dead like a doornail in his own office…It seems a number of people could have liked to fill Larry’s stocking with coal and then bash him with it – including his bitter ex-wife, his ex-partner’s girl, a woman he was wooing, as well as the Crazy Elf Tree lot’s extremely exasperated investors…Now, with a lot of suspects to investigate as well as the 12 days of Christmas ticking apart, Hannah’s running out of your time to nab a murderous Scrooge who doesn’t desire her to see the New Year.
