格拉伯里(Gladbury)是一个平凡无奇的小村庄,但一个神奇的传说一直在格拉伯里的住民中流传:每隔25年就会有一位天使造访格拉伯里的蜡烛匠人家,并为一根新蜡烛施加魔法。将那根具有魔力的蜡烛点燃的人将会在平安夜受到意想不到的奇迹赐福。这个传说一直延续着,但在1890年的钟声敲响之时,大卫·里士满(汉斯·麦瑟逊 饰)这位年轻的怀疑论者牧师风尘而至,这一传说也受到了遭破除的威胁。格拉伯里的蜡烛匠师爱德华·海丁顿(西尔维斯特·迈考伊 饰)要为这份无形的家族遗产挺身而出。一旦蜡烛传说不复存在,格拉伯里将会迎来史上最为惨淡的圣诞节...... By CharlesChouDeep in the heart of the English countryside lies the enchanting village of Gladbury. Legend has it every 25 years an angel visits the village candlemaker and touches a single candle. Whoever lights this candle receives a miracle on Christmas Eve. But in 1890, at the dawn of the electric age, this centuries old legend may come to an end. When David Richmond (Hans Matheson), a progressive young minister, arrives in Gladbury, the villagers discover a new formula for miracles: good deeds and acts of kindness. While David's quest to modernize Gladbury sets him at odds with the old world candlemaker, he finds an unlikely ally in the lovely skeptic, Emily Barstow (Samantha Barks). Now, the fiery candlemaker must fight to preserve the legacy of the Christmas Candle. But when the candle goes missing, the miraculous and human collide in the most astonishing Christmas the village of Gladbury has ever seen.
