It seems like Kimmy might just get everything she wished for this Christmas – all except for oh-so-handsome handyman Luke…The Mince Pie Mix-Up’Tis the season to be jolly, yet for Calvin and Judy the usual festive bickering has already begun! But after a magical mince pie mix-up, one thing’s for certain – by Christmas Day, life will never be the same again!
