Several publications, including Rotten Tomatoes, named Falling for Christmas one the best Christmas films of all time. It had one of the best opening weekends for a Netflix original film in 2022.

Hotel heiress Sierra Belmont has been newly appointed as "vice president of atmosphere" at the luxury ski resort in Aspen owned by her father Beauregard, despite having no interest in the business. While her father is away on business, Sierra goes up a mountain top with her influencer boyfriend Tad for a photo shoot where he proposes to her.

However, the harsh wind causes Sierra, who was wearing skis, to lose balance. She falls from the top of the mountain, is separated from Tad and hits her head on a tree. Unconscious, she is found by Jake Russell, who she bumped into earlier just after his failed business pitch to her father, and is taken to a hospital.

Sierra loses her memory due to the accident and the hospital staff is unable to verify her identify. Jake offers the amnesiac a place at his bed and breakfast hotel, the Northstar Lodge, until she can remember who she is or someone comes to claim her. After taking the name Sarah from a stuffed toy that belongs to Jake's daughter Avy, Sierra decides to help him and his family at the lodge in hopes of getting her memory back, but struggles.

However, Sierra bonds with Jake and his family, especially Avy, as she finds out that she lost her mother a couple years ago and feels empathy for her. She also lost her own mother when she was young and this starts to trigger memories. After improving in helping the lodge, Sierra adjusts to a normal life. As the hotel is struggling, she comes up with a fund raising party for the hotel.

Meanwhile, Tad is lost in the woods and finds shelter with recluse Ralph, who takes him to town on foot. At the Belmont, the hotel staff has not thought to look for Sierra and Tad as they believe that they are away on a trip.
