"Is that a candy cane in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
While working at Sinclair's Department Store during the holidays to help her best friend Rob catch a thief, Tasha Elliot receives an invitation to sit in Santa's Lap after store hours. She thinks it's from Rob, and to pay him back for teasing her, Tasha gives Santa a lap dance he'll never forget. She is shocked when she finds that his older brother Reed, whom she has had a crush on for years, is the man in the red velvet suit!
Between bouts of scrumptious intimacy and creative uses of Christmas candy, Tasha and Reed uncover the identity of the thief and discover their mutual attraction goes beyond mere holiday cheer to last throughout every season of the year.
