When a viral Mistletoe Cam catches Denver's notoriously private hockey captain kissing the man inside the team's ridiculous bird mascot, he proposes the biggest lie of his life to save them both. Now they just have to pretend to be in love until the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve, without accidentally falling for real.

Anders is a fiercely protective man who prides himself on never lying, but to appease team management and comfort his mother during their final holiday at the family ranch, he needs a boyfriend. Enter Jory, the fun-loving guy hiding his face inside the mascot suit so no one can treat him like a prop again. When a brutal cold snap kills his radiator, Jory moves into Anders's downtown loft, turning a public relations stunt into a chaotic collision of folded towels and sourdough starters. As the countdown to the nationally televised Lakeside Game ticks down, this fake dating gay romance heats up. Sharing one bed at a snowy Colorado ranch blurs the lines between a sanctioned holiday campaign and the real thing, forcing the ice monk and the mascot to choose between a safe lie and a terrifying truth.
