Though many people are hateful, she meets Lucy, the owner of Candy Cane Inn. Lucy's daughter Mia is also kind to Annie and they become good friends.
Before Annie leaves, her father's employee Chester, hires an actor named Dean to pretend he's in love with her. The plan is to keep her in Los Angeles and he gets promoted, replacing Annie. Dean causes Annie to lose focus on why she's there.
Annie makes her stay in the Candy Cane Inn a cozy one and set the snow globe, her parents gave her, on the dresser in her room. This device helps them see their daughter while She's away from home.
Annie walks around town when she sees Ted's toy store. She comes inside a very gloomy place and she sets the toys in its proper place. Ted notices her and she says she's in the toy business and offers to work for him without pay. Ted's curious as to who she is. Annie gets to work in the toy store.
Mia comes home and tells Lucy and Annie the play was over because the teacher couldn't stay. So Annie becomes the director for the play. Now she's busy with things she adores. When she begins directing the kids play, Annie tells Mia to sing and two girls make fun of her. Later she tells those girls to be good or else they won't receive presents from you-know-who this year.
Ted goes to the bank and is turned down from receiving a loan. He goes to the store and tells Annie it's over but Annie tells him not give up. So she comes up with a plan to help turn things around. Lucy helps her decorate the store in secret and it works. The amazing decorations helped bring new customers to Ted's toy store.
Feelings start to grow for two people and for one Dean is her ideal type of man. The reason is because Chester told him everything he needed to know and he fooled Annie to believe him. Dean lies to Annie about an orphan named Charlie.
Love starts growing in Ted's heart and it's for Annie. However, Annie trusts and believes Dean. She goes on several dates with, and later she agrees to go ice skating with Ted. Feelings are there but she is slow to acknowledge its true love.
The Christmas play is the cutest thing Annie completed and everyone gives her a round of applause. Ted and a lot of people noticed Dean on television. He's a struggling actor getting paid to deceive Annie. Ted watched television and there he was in a wheelchair holding a check.
At the toy store, foster children are invited to have a party. And a woman confirmed there isn't a foster child named Charlie. Annie goes to confront Dean and she hears what he says to Chester. She runs off and packs her bags to leave and Mia tells her she's not stupid. Annie gives Mia her snow globe.
Annie's friendship is a blessing for them all and they wanted one more chance to tell Annie how they really felt. The snow globe revealed that to Annie. She came back to face her friends, especially Ted.
