It's just before the Christmas break, and Jordin believes they have lost their mojo each for a different reason, they not having done anything exciting as friends in years. Jordin is still recovering from a break-up in the summer to her long term boyfriend Nico, and while upon reflection she isn't sure if she ever loved him, she is hurt that he has moved on in already having another girlfriend, Portia. For five years, shy Ava has pined over their fellow teacher colleague Ben without being able to tell him that she has feelings for him. And Stella still laments being transferred from the Music Department to English in she not being passionate about assigning books to her students she doesn't much like herself. To get out of their funk and spend time as friends, Jordin is able to convince them, albeit reluctantly, to do something out of their comfort zone, namely attend the Santa Summit, a big party where attendees, upwards of one thousand, dress up as Santa and party it up at different events and venues across the city. Ava is somewhat of an easy convince as she knows Ben always attends the Summit, and she hopes to run into him outside of work. Convincing Stella was already difficult enough in she having lost the spirit of Christmas, with the Summit made all the more challenging in they constantly running into a leather jacket clad Santa named Freddie, who further takes her out of her comfort zone. And Jordin has a chance meeting with a fellow Santa, Liam, they, in their connection in their few minute conversation with each other behind their Santa costumes including full beard and mustache, only knowing sparse pieces of information about the other. In accidentally losing contact with each other, each goes on a mission to locate the other in a sea of several hundred Santas not knowing the other's name or what he/she looks like behind the costume in each, without knowing how the other truly feels, believing they made a real human connection.

Notes of Autumn
Connected as a former pianist and cellist respectively who played together, best friends Ellie Matthews and Leo Carrington rarely see each other in living in different places, Ellie in the American city of Westerhaven, and Leo in the small Canadian town of Pinewood.

Julliard-trained Ellie, however, has moved from one career to another proverbially to "pay rent, buy food, and buy clothes", those career moves usually not her choice, although her move away from music was largely in self-doubt after a professional setback. When she is fired from her latest job as an event planner at an upscale hotel for being too distracted, Ellie suggests to an ultimately agreeable Leo that they switch homes for two weeks as a change of environment, for Leo to be inspired by new surroundings to unblock, and Ellie in trying to figure out what to do with her stalled life. In miscommunication, both are surprised by promises each made before leaving home affecting the other in the swap: Leo's that Ellie would help his friend and next door neighbor, Sam Perkins, owner/operator of the one-person business Pinewood Nature Tours, organize the town's annual fall fundraising event, the Piano Ball, but more importantly for Sam guide the string quartet in the fundraiser's centerpiece, a performance of Antonio Vivaldi's Autumn from "The Four Seasons", especially as classical musical is not the genre preferred by any of the members of the cobbled together quartet; and Ellie's that her friend, the hotel's executive chef Matt, could use her kitchen as he prepares for an investors' dinner for his own restaurant, he a bundle of indecision as the hotel has always dictated his menu. Both Ellie and Leo do not welcome the intrusion on the reason for the home swap, but ultimately commit to the promises made by the other, largely in they forming a connection to Sam and Matt. Burgeoning romances form between Ellie and Sam, and between Leo and Matt, as each inspires the other in the partnership in new directions in the other's life.
