What is the plot of My Secret Santa?

My Secret Santa is about a single mother named Taylor Jacobson (played by Alexandra Breckenridge). She loses her job and is desperate for a new one. Taylor then disguises herself as an old man to get a job at a local ski resort as Santa Claus. Soon, the owner starts realizing something is fishy about her. Meanwhile, Taylor starts falling for his good-looking son Matthew Layne (Ryan Eggold).

How does My Secret Santa end?

Taylor initially struggles with her job in My Secret Santa. But as time passes, she gets the hang of it. She eventually becomes a well-known Santa Claus at that resort, which makes Natasha Burton (Tia Mowry) jealous of her. However, Taylor's true identity is revealed after her daughter, Zoey (Madison MacIsaac), is injured. While Natasha wants to take legal action against her, Matthew decides not to pursue it.

He takes ownership of the accident, which saves Taylor. This further brings them closer and makes Matthew a better person. He also fixes his relationship with his father. Even though they come from different walks of life, the two eventually fall for each other due to some common ground.

Taylor used to be a popular singer, but circumstances led her to quit music. She was neck deep in debt and was forced to work to support Zoey as a single mother. Taylor also had to sell her vinyl records to get Zoey into the snowboarding academy.

Matthew encourages her to sing at the resort's Christmas concert. Towards the end of My Secret Santa, Matthew and Taylor end up together and start dating. This gives the film a happy ending. Professionally, Taylor handles the resort's family events as an executive.

Initially, Matthew recognized Taylor as the former lead singer of the band Screaming Kittens. She used to perform for them as a teenager. He asks her out, but Taylor turns him down. However, slowly things start to change between them, and they come closer.

The film explores the themes of celebration, love, passion, dreams, and hope. The protagonists come closer and manage to heal each other in different ways.
