Then tragedy strikes her wealthy community when someone mistakes Santa Claus for an intruder and shoots Dancer. Grieving, Santa faces a harsh reality—the reindeer training to join his sleigh team have grown arrogant and ambitious. Now he’s wondering if the spirit of Christmas is beginning to fade.

A chance encounter with a young reporter lands Peyton a secret job as an advice columnist, leading to an unexpected connection with Santa. Can two people from different worlds help each other find the courage to change their own?
