The Story of Christmas in Canterbury

Rose and Asha first met when they were children in a choir. As adults, they both became choir leaders. When Rose arrives in Canterbury, she learns that Asha is on bed rest because she is close to having her baby.

Rose agrees to help Asha and takes a job at the school. However, the headmistress has misunderstood which children’s choir Rose worked with in Vienna.

At the school, Rose meets Harrison, the leader of the boys choir. Harrison is very traditional and believes in following old rules and traditions. Every Christmas Eve, the boys’ choir performs at Canterbury Cathedral. Rose wonders why the girls’ choir never gets the same chance.

The headmistress decides to have the boys and girls choirs compete for the chance to perform at the Christmas Eve concert. Rose and Harrison begin preparing their students for the competition.
