A determined single mom in need of a job to send her daughter to snowboarding camp disguises herself as a man in order to get hired as a seasonal Santa — like Mrs. Doubtfire in the reverse. But when she starts to fall for her boss at a luxury ski resort, complications arise that could cut this busy holiday season short.
Starring Virgin River’s Alexandra Breckenridge and Ryan Eggold (New Amsterdam), My Secret Santa is the latest piece of holiday cheer from The Princess Switch franchise director Mike Rohl. The movie also stars Tia Mowry of Sister, Sister fame and was co-written by Carley Smale and Ron Oliver, who ushered in Lindsay Lohan’s return to acting with 2022’s Falling for Christmas.

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?
My Secret Santa is set in the fictional Sun Peaks luxury ski resort.
