The Serpent Society makes a bold move to kill one of the world's most powerful magic beings and steal his energies for their own crusade - Santa Claus! Luckily, one of Santa's oldest friends, Jenkins, catches wind of the kidnapping and sends the Librarians on a rescue mission. Santa, it turns out, does more than deliver gifts; he collects all the good will from people around the world during the year, and then returns it to us on Christmas Eve. If he's stopped, humanity will fall into despair and ruin. The Librarians rescue Santa, but are pursued around the world by the Serpent Society. Colonel Eve Baird, Christmas grouch, finds herself smuggling Santa to the North Pole before Christmas Eve counts down. From stolen cars to bar fights to crippled cargo jets, the Librarians are in a race against the clock to save Christmas. But even the Librarians are unaware of the true, secret meaning of Christmas, the one Santa does not share with even his closest friends.

In Rome, two workers unearth a mysterious ancient map in a church and turn it over to a secret sect of the Vatican known as the Heretic Order of Shadows. Back at the Library, Jenkins is preparing the Librarians for a tethering ceremony rehearsal. Because Charlene and Judson no longer tether the Library to humanity, Flynn and Baird are going to step into their immortal shoes and dedicate themselves as its eternal protectors. The rehearsal, however, is not exactly going as planned: Flynn's late, the other Librarians aren't taking it seriously, and then an ominous tone rings out - one of the four cornerstones to the Library of Alexandria has been unearthed in Niagara Falls.
