Airport Santa Claus Thorsten's job usually ends before the presents are presented. This time, however, force majeure thwarted his plans: a snowstorm and the closure of the feeder road ensure that nobody can get out of the terminal on Christmas Eve. Thorsten and his Christkind colleague now have to ensure contemplation among those trapped. Not an easy undertaking, because the mood is not only extremely tense with your boss. There is a crisis between Sebastian and his pregnant girlfriend Anja anyway. By seeing his school friend Conrad again, Sebastian, who does not yet know anything about his fatherhood, begins to question the relationship. Meanwhile, the seriously ill pensioner Karl tries desperately to hide his dramatic situation from his wife over the festive season. While it continues to snow outside, two families are brewing more and more together. Helicopter mother Jette and husband Lars argue in front of their son. Meanwhile, Katharina uncovered an affair between her husband and his colleague. When the children of the two married couples are suddenly gone, the adults have to put their problems on the back burner. Only the "Christ Child" knows that this day is particularly difficult for Santa Claus Thorsten.
