What happens in My Secret Santa?

When her daughter is accepted to an elite snowboarding camp at Sun Peaks ski resort, Taylor (Breckenridge) is desperate to make ends meet. Enlisting the help of her friends, she designs prosthetics to transform her into a rosy-faced man of a certain age. Why? So she can land a seasonal job as the resort’s Santa. When she gets the gig, everything seems to be coming up Taylor — until she meets a charming man at the resort named Matthew (Eggold), who, it turns out, manages Sun Peaks. Though she initially rebuffs him, there’s clearly chemistry between the two. But will her Santa-suited deception keep her from truly connecting with Matthew?
