STUDIO CITY, CA - March 18, 2024 - An arctic adventure awaits as Hallmark Channel takes viewers on an incredible dog sled ride throughout Iceland and Finland with a stop at the world-famous Santa Claus Village and the Arctic Circle located in Rovaniemi, Finland.

After his passing, she heads to Finland to participate in the 40th annual Joulurauha race, her father's final race where he fell short of the victory. Following an injury to her lead dog during the qualifying race, Anya finds herself partnered with a new canine companion owned by journalist and former racer Cole, (Mirchoff) who aims to pen a story about her journey. Struggling to build trust with her new dog and facing her father's rival, Monty, (Páll Sigþór Pálsson, Mr. Murphy) Anya must navigate many challenges as she strives to win the race.
