My Secret Santa is a 2025 American Christmas romantic comedy directed by Mike Rohl, starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Ryan Eggold. A light-hearted holiday film produced for Netflix, it blends seasonal workplace hijinks with a slow-burn romance set against a snowy ski-resort backdrop — perfect festive viewing for the whole family.
What is My Secret Santa about?
Taylor is a single mother in desperate need of steady work to support her young child through the holidays. When she stumbles onto an unexpected opening at a luxury ski resort that urgently needs someone to play Santa Claus for their seasonal events, she decides to take the job in disguise rather than let the opportunity slip away. The complication arrives in the form of Marcus, the resort's charming and perceptive heir, who manages operations and has every reason to scrutinize new hires closely. As Taylor tries to keep her cover intact while delivering memorable holiday moments for guests, unexpected feelings begin to develop between them. The film follows her balancing act — holding down the job, raising her child, and guarding a secret that could unravel everything — all while the resort's festive magic works on both of them in ways neither anticipated.
Cast & crew
Alexandra Breckenridge, familiar to audiences from This Is Us and Virgin River, leads the film with her characteristic warmth and comedic timing as Taylor. Ryan Eggold, also known from New Amsterdam, brings a convincing mix of authority and openness to Marcus. Tia Mowry and Diana Maria Riva round out a supporting cast that keeps the ensemble energy cheerful throughout.
Context & significance
Holiday romantic comedies have long been a shared viewing ritual for Iranian diaspora families, particularly during the winter season when Persian households in Canada, the United States, and Europe gather around the screen together. My Secret Santa arrives with Persian dubbing — a feature that makes the film fully accessible to older family members and younger viewers alike, with no language barrier between generations. Its workplace-disguise premise echoes a genre tradition that translates well across cultures: the underdog hero who earns their place through effort and heart rather than privilege. For Persian-speaking viewers looking for light, feel-good entertainment that the whole family can enjoy without subtitles, this Netflix holiday title delivers exactly that warmth.
