Darcy Keefe

Darcy Keefe stars in Believe in Christmas (2024), a film that doesn’t just sprinkle some holiday cheer—it dumps the whole bag of sugar on your lap and dares you not to smile. Set in a small town that’s basically a snow globe come to life, the story follows Darcy’s character, a big-city event planner who’s definitely seen one too many corporate Christmas parties. She rolls into her hometown with a plan: save the family bakery from going under and maybe, just maybe, rediscover what Christmas actually means when you peel away the tinsel and forced carols. It’s not all gingerbread houses and mistletoe, though. There’s old wounds, awkward run-ins with the high school ex (yeah, he’s still cute, annoyingly enough), and plenty of small town drama—because apparently, everyone in this town has an opinion and no filter. As Darcy gets roped into organizing the annual Christmas festival, she’s forced to team up with a grumpy (but charming, because of course) local handyman who thinks holiday spirit is just an excuse for people to eat too many cookies. Cue the chaos: flour fights, elf costume disasters, and one stubborn Christmas tree that refuses to stand upright. But somewhere between burnt cookies and blizzards, Darcy and the town start to thaw out each other’s icy hearts. It’s messy, it’s real, and yes, there are tears—both happy and ugly-cry variety. By the end, you’ll want to bake something, hug your mom, and maybe even believe in a little Christmas magic again.
