Ivy, an immortal girl from Santa's family, took over gift-delivering duties for her lazy twin brother Hector. One Christmas Eve, she tumbled down a chimney and met teenage Luke. They bonded over cookies and quiet talks, and met once every Christmas night year after year. Ivy fell in love with Luke, knowing he would age and die while she stayed forever young. Tragedy struck when Luke's little brother Jett died in an accident. Grief drove them apart. As years passed, Luke grew up, became a doctor, married fellow physician Sunny and raised a son. Though heartbroken, Ivy still slipped into his home each Christmas to leave gifts. Finally, they met once more. Old wounds and soft memories surfaced. They shared a gentle, bittersweet farewell, aware their fleeting Christmas encounters could not last forever.
