In The Santa Summit, Hunter King plays Jordin, whose best friend Stella (played by Stephanie Sy), convinces her to come to the Santa Summit, an event where everyone goes from holiday party to holiday party dressed in Santa suits. Stella knows her crush will be there and she wants to tell him how she feels.

At their first stop, Jordin meets Liam (Benjamin Hollingsworth) a fellow Santa-suited reveler, but they quickly get separated by a Santa stampede before they can exchange names or numbers. Feeling a special connection and determined to find each other, Jordin and Liam continue their mutual search all night.
