'The holiday episodes are a little bit lighter, and we wanted to play a little more comedy after the weight of this season. It felt like, if we're going to give a holiday gift to the audience, let's make it a fun one,' he told Glamor Magazine.
Several months have passed since Labor Day, and now the residents of Virgin River are busy preparing for Christmas.

She will also shed light on the mystery of who Mel's biological father is by providing her with his letters to their mother.
At the same time, Doc, Hope, Denny and Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale), who has returned from clinical treatment, are actively preparing for the holiday.
