==Premise==
==Plot==
In a small village, a group of children get the idea to plan and stage a giant snowball fight during winter break over a snow fort, with the group who controls the fort by the end of the break winning. One boy, Luke, is decided to lead one team, but the group cannot decide who will be the opposing team. The group attempt to provoke two other kids, Piers and Frankie, into being the opposing team by pelting them with snowballs, but accidentally pelt Sophie, the new girl, whom Luke has a crush on. Infuriated, Sophie accepts leadership of the opposing team and has Frankie construct an elaborate snow fort.
The film centres on a group of children, led by Luke (Nicholas Savard-L'Herbier / [[Angela Galuppo]]) and Sophie ([[Mariloup Wolfe]] / [[Lucinda Davis (actress)|Lucinda Davis]]), who plan and stage a giant [[snowball fight]] during the [[Christmas]] holidays.<ref name=reussit/>

On the first day of battle, Luke's team is successfully repelled. The following day, one boy, Chuck, constructs snowballs coated with ice, but the team decides not to use them. However, Sophie's younger sister Lucy discovers the iceballs and informs Sophie, spurring her to stage an ambush using snowballs filled with paint. During the attack, Sophie's team manages to steal Luke's [[bugle]], an instrument he kept in memory of his father, who died during a war. Sophie's team gets into an argument with her, resulting in her not showing up the following day, allowing Luke's team to successfully infiltrate the fort and drive off its defenders. Learning of this, Sophie sneaks into the fort at night and takes their flag, despite being ambushed by Luke's group.

To get the feuding groups to reconcile, Nicky and his cousin Daniel feign injury to get the groups to unite. The two groups decide to abandon the war, but Sophie convinces Luke to return the fort to her side for one last battle, as she'd been absent when they first took it. Luke's group recruits the first graders to assist in the assault and utilizes Frankie's stolen plans to bombard the snow fort with giant ice blocks. In the battle that ensues, the fort collapses, crushing Piers' dog Cleo, killing her. A grief-stricken Piers blames Luke for taking the game too far. A remorseful Luke sounds a [[bugle call]] as the kids bury Cleo. The two teams, realizing they had let the game divide them, reconcile and tear down the remains of the fort together.
