Året er 1912 i Stockholm, og Første Verdenskrig truer i horisonten. På trods af usikkerhed og frygt beslutter Joseph Sachs sig for at bygge Nordeuropas mest overdådige stormagasin, Nordisk Kompani.Den unge Märta bliver først begejstret ved udsigten til et nyt stormagasin, men hendes glæde forvandles til frygt, da hendes tyske forlovede må forlade Sverige. Kan de klare sig hver for sig, eller vil de blive tvunget fra hinanden? Märtas veninder gør deres bedste for at trøste hende, men de bærer også rundt på deres egne problemer i skyggen af den urolige stemning i Europa.

Det er blevet efterår i Halleholm, et lille idyllisk skærgårdssamfund udenfor Stockholm. Lovisa Lindegren har store planer for julen på byens bedste bageri, og kærligheden mellem hende og Axel blomstrer. Men da hans mor bliver syg, river det op i nogle smertefulde minder om hendes egen barndom og søsterens død. Selv om julen nærmer sig, og de hyggelige forberedelser er i gang, er alt ikke lutter idyl.

Lovisa Lindegren lever sit drømmeliv i London. Men da hun pludselig mister sit job og bliver forladt af sin forlovede, beslutter hun sig for at vende tilbage til den lille svenske kystby Halleholm. Hun har arvet sine bedsteforældres bageri – og hele den tilhørende ejendom ved torvet – hvor farfar John engang bagte sine berømte kanelboller, og farmor Amelia syede haute couture på førstesalen. Testamentet indeholder dog en særlig betingelse: Hvis Lovisa vil sælge ejendommen, før hun fylder 30, skal hun sælge til familiens arvefjender – Halleholm-slægten.
