Eloise at Christmastime
It's Christmas time at New York's Plaza Hotel and the season promises to be even more special as the hotel prepares for a romantic Christmas Eve wedding! Awaiting the arrival of her mother from Paris, Eloise plants herself in all of the wedding arrangements, since "getting married on Christmas Eve is the most romantic thing." Event coordinator Prunella Stickler, whose impeccable record for spectacular weddings has been uncontested, warns Eloise not to interfere, as the bride and groom are none other than Rachel, the daughter of Plaza owner Mr. Peabody, and her fiancé, Brooks Oliver. But when Eloise becomes suspicious of Brooks' true intentions and discovers that Rachel's old flame, Bill, the Plaza waiter, still harbors feelings for her, Eloise plays matchmaker to ensure that true love will save the day!
But she'll have to go head to head with Prunella Stickler first. And "oh my lord," there's so much to do, as Eloise tries to save long-time Plaza resident Mrs. Thornton from eviction, help Sir Wilkes find the perfect Christmas present for Nanny and decorate the Plaza's Christmas tree with just the right amount of tinsel! With hours away before the big event, Eloise's plans go awry, as Brooks uncovers her scheme and a wintry snowstorm blankets New York City, threatening to spoil mother's homecoming. With a lot of love and a little bit of yuletide luck, the playfully wise Eloise must find a way out of this predicament and deliver the best Christmas present for everyone — one that's from the heart!
