Jess Newman, the protagonist of Christmas at The Highland Flower Shop, is married to Ben, the love of her life. However, when Ben falls out of love with her and moves on to a new girlfriend, Naomi, Jess is left heartbroken and struggling to cope with the divorce. Fortunately, Jess's grandfather, Gabe, has a solution for her and her eight-year-old daughter Lola. He gives them the keys to his holiday home in Cornwall, a beautiful but rundown farmhouse. The fresh countryside air, saffron buns, and seaside breeze seem like the perfect remedy for Jess's troubles, but soon it becomes clear that this fresh start comes with its own set of complications.

The farmhouse is in need of extensive repairs, and Jess and Lola must work together to fix it up. They face numerous challenges, including a leaky roof, a broken stove, and a garden that is overgrown with weeds.

One day, Jess meets a local farmer named Tom. Tom is kind and helpful, and he offers to help Jess with the repairs. Jess is hesitant at first, but she soon realizes that Tom is a skilled craftsman and that he can help her transform the farmhouse into a beautiful home.

However, Jess's relationship with Tom is not without its challenges. Tom is a traditionalist, and he believes that women should stay in the home and take care of the children. Jess, on the other hand, is a modern woman who wants to pursue her career and her dreams.
