When Nick Clausson, in the course of his duties as the Nickson's Department Store Santa, realizes that he has matched two reporters together in a mentor relationship that he knows is going to turn romantic, he is reminded of a conversation he had with Eros, the god of love. Admittedly they were sampling the fine offerings at Oktoberfest in Munch and were none too steady on their feet at the time, but Eros agreed to help Nick's friend find true love, if Nick helped him during his busy season by making three matches before Valentine's Day.
Since, as far as Nick is concerned, the first match is already done, he just needs to make two more to secure guaranteed true love for his cousin and best friend, Niccolo. Nick even knows the people he wants to put together for the second match; they are both living on the streets. The problem is that there is something mysterious about the woman, who seems to have disappeared into thin air and he only knows the man by his street name, Bird Man and has no way of contacting him. And that's not the only problem. Eros warns him that the first match is not a done deal and Nick has no idea who he is going to match for the third couple.
Then, as the pieces start to come together for the second match, Mrs. James, the angel who watched over Nick's own wife until he found and married her, warns him that lives are in danger and everything is riding on him being successful with his plans.
The story of John and Edith, the two reporters matched together as Nick's first couple, is a strong theme throughout. John is supposed to help Edith advance her career as a television reporter, but her display of temper on her first day of work after they begin the mentorship gets her suspended and probably fired. They both promised Santa that they would commit to the mentorship no matter what happens, so John is stuck trying to teach Edith how to be a better reporter when she doesn't have a job. John wonders: Can he help her recover from what she had done or will his association with her drag him down as well?
