What is ‘Mistletoe Murders’ about?
Adapted from a popular Audible original series, Mistletoe Murders follows Emily Lane, the friendly owner of a year-round Christmas-themed store. Emily may live in a small town, but she is hiding a big secret: She’s actually a former hacker who changed her identity and went on the run to escape her dangerous ex-partner and leave her criminal past behind. Hoping to fly under the radar, she built a quiet new life for herself in the quaint town of Fletcher’s Grove.
On the side, she investigates murders in the small town and subsequently meets Detective Sam Wilner—a smart and savvy local cop. But over time, he discovers that the bigger mystery is actually Emily herself. Season 2 ended on a thrilling cliffhanger and now, the stakes are higher than ever.

What happened in the Season 2 finale of ‘Mistletoe Murders’?
At the end of Season 2 of Mistletoe Murders, life was looking good for Emily. She had revealed her true identity and her hacker past to Sam and after sharing a kiss, he asked her out on an official breakfast date. While getting ready, she buzzed him in. But when she opened her front door to greet Sam, someone from her past was staring back at her: Aaron.
And he’s not just an old acquaintance: Aaron (Aaron Ashmore) is the mysterious figure she’s been running from—the very reason she changed her identity and sought out a quiet life in Fletcher’s Grove.
