The story follows Emily Lane, portrayed by Grey’s Anatomy alum, as the owner of a quaint Christmas-themed shop in Fletcher’s Grove. Beneath her charming exterior, Emily harbors a sharp intellect and a knack for noticing details others overlook. When a series of local murders occurs, Emily’s investigative instincts kick in, drawing the attention of Detective Sam Wilner, played by Peter Mooney. Their chemistry, mixed with the holiday atmosphere, sets the tone for the show.

The cast also features Sierra Marilyn Riley, Jean Yoon, and Lara Amersey, with guest stars such as Tom Cavanagh and Jake Epstein. Adapted from the Audible Original series, Mistletoe Murders promises a blend of holiday warmth and suspenseful storytelling.
