Since they were young, Sarah and Nick have been building a snowman every year, meant to represent Sarah’s dream guy. This tradition has continued over the years while Sarah has started and ended a series of relationships, never feeling like they were quite right. This year, she has recently gone through another breakup when she and Nick build a snowman again. This time, the snowman gets her mother’s scarf, the one her mother wore when she met Sarah’s father. The next day, the snowman is gone, but a man named Cole appears with the found scarf. He meets all of Sarah’s criteria for the perfect boyfriend, and the two begin a romance. Nick, who secretly has feelings for Sarah, can only watch from the sidelines.
The concept of snowmen coming to life is not unique, and it doesn’t work well here either. The film would have been fine if Cole had been a real person, but this just feels mostly ridiculous.
