Eve Glace - co-owner of Winterworld - is pregnant. This sends the whole theme park into baby mania, especially as the baby's due date is 25th December. But their joy is soured by the fact it appears someone is trying to sabotage the Christmas celebrations. Annie Pandoro and her husband Joe own a small Christmas cracker factory, and are well set up and happy together despite life never blessing them with a much-wanted child. Now, Annie thinks she is going through the menopause and any vestige of hope has been extinguished. Palma Collins has agreed to act as a surrogate, hoping the money will give her a helping hand out of the gutter in which she finds herself. But when the couple split up just after she finds out she is pregnant, she is left carrying a baby she never wanted in the first place. Annie, Palma and Eve all meet at the 'Christmas Pudding Club', a new directive started by a forward-thinking young doctor, who was Palma's first love at school. Though their lives have gone in very different directions, will this group help each other to find happiness and peace as Christmas approaches?
