Plot

[edit]

King Nicholas XX has been Santa Claus for 100 years and is now preparing to hand over the baton to his, and the Queen's son, Nick St. Nicholas. Nick is living the high life in Miami and is slightly reluctant to become Santa Claus. Nick's butler Jasper hires a new cook, Lorena. He then gets enticed into portraying a fictitious Santa Claus for a charity (Mr.SaintNick.com) by Heidi and Hector. Nick begins to fall in love with Heidi and asks her to marry him; little does he know that Hector and Heidi are transferring the charity's money into their own account in the Cayman Islands. Soon however, Nick starts to become closer to his loved ones (namely his father) and Nick starts to realize how special being with one's loved ones is. As that happens he also notices that he is getting to know Lorena better and is starting to develop feelings for her as well, which makes him re-think about marrying Heidi. Nick eventually comes to see that he was wrong about everything and chooses Lorena instead.
