Maya and Alex are reunited after several years when Alex reaches out to her for help in running his uncle's struggling Mexican bakery, La Panaderia. Maya, now a successful marketing strategist, agrees to help her old friend out of the kindness of her heart even though she has a demanding job and a busy schedule. When they arrive at the bakery, they find out that the bakery is famous for its gingerbread cookies that the patrons believe have magical powers to grant wishes.
As Maya and Alex work together to revive the bakery's business, they begin to reconnect and reminisce about their days in high school. Alex has always had a passion for baking, but he's never had the support or resources to turn it into a successful business. With Maya's help, they come up with a marketing strategy to attract customers and improve the presentation of the bakery's products.
As they spend more time together, sparks fly between Maya and Alex, but they both have doubts about risking their friendship for a romantic relationship. Meanwhile, the bakery's reputation grows as more and more people come to experience the gingerbread miracle. The community rallies behind the bakery, and they start to receive offers to take the business to the next level.
In the end, Maya and Alex realize that their truest wish was to find each other again, and they share a magical kiss under the Christmas lights. The bakery continues to thrive, now with the support and investment of the community, and Maya and Alex's friendship blossoms into a beautiful romance.
