The opening credits in music, with people dancing in Christmas pajamas sets the mood for the movie.
Kat is treated like a servant by her stepsisters, they give her all their Christmas bags to carry and also their milkshakes (I think) until she falls on her back and they end up in her face. Joy posts it on her vlog, while popular rich Dominick is the only one who asks if she’s ok. The blond girl blames her for ruining her shoes and Kat actually apologises! Really, what alternate universe is this?
Kat works as a Christmas elf, and she meets the new Santa, Nick.
Kat writes the songs, and Kat and her friend, the other ‘elf’ Isla dance and sing them for the children.
Kat’s dad died and that woman Deirdra has control of all her money until she turns 18, which will be in four months (she’s 17???)
For now, Kat does all the chores and more.
When they find out that Kat’s dad, Jason Decker, was a friend of super rich Mr Wintergarden (Dominick’s father) they steal her snowball and use it to get an invitation to the big party. Only thing is, Mr Wintergarden sends for Mrs Decker and Kathrine. Deirdra manages to get one more invitation saying she has two daughters, so we all know how this will go. Still, Santa-Nick gives Kat an invitation personally, though of course he does not tell her that he’s Dominick. Not yet.
He does it one or two days later, actually, but when she learns that, she won’t tell him who she is, probably because still embarrassed by that vlog post.
… sigh, his face was all covered with a beard, being Santa, but hers was not!
Isla makes her a dress for the gala and she brings it home… and of course they find it, Joy takes her dress and Deirdra burns her invitation.
Dominick calls her to meet his friends, a boy takes off her wig and everyone recognises the girl in that humiliating video Joy posted of her.
The others mock her and she runs away.
Kat finds the snowball in Joy’s bag, they fight for it and it breaks.
In the commotion, they lose the letter Mr Wintergarden sent to Deirdra and Kathrine and now she can’t let them take her name as well, so Isla helps her get in.
She enters as an elf, though, and ends up on stage during a dance she doesn’t know. Then they have her sing in a new dress Isla made for her.
Dominick finds her before Deirdra can, so she sings on stage. Dominick introduces her to his father and she clears the misunderstanding on who she is and who Joy is.
Deirdra tells her her inheritance is gone, so Mr Wintergarden has them escorted out and offers Kat an apartment and the chance to fulfil her dreams.
Kat accepts, then dances with Dominick and they kiss, and it’s the happy end.
