Event
Episode 1
The story begins at Yachiyo Nanami's house. It's the last month of the year, and Tsuruno Yui is excited to celebrate Christmas. Felicia Mitsuki is unamused. Yachiyo says it's a bit too early to celebrate. Sana Futaba then arrives unnoticed by the others. Tsuruno calls her a ninja. When Iroha Tamaki noticed something is wrong with Sana, Sana admits she doesn't understand Christmas. Due to her home situation, she's never experienced it properly as her father made her study instead.
Felicia says that Christmas isn't a big deal and it's just about eating and being loud. This bothers Tsuruno until Yachiyo points out that's fine to do on Christmas. Yachiyo then decides to have a Christmas party for Sana's sake. Felicia is against it, claiming it's annoying. Yachiyo points out they have food, making Felicia reconsider. Sana timidly agrees to the party as well.
Episode 2
The girls meet to plan the Christmas party. Iroha invites Momoko Togame, Rena Minami, and Kaede Akino to Yachiyo's home. Yachiyo and Momoko are still cool to each other but are willing to work together for this. Yachiyo explains they will have educational Christmas activities for Sana. Yachiyo explains that her home, "Mikazuki" (meaning "crescent moon"), used to be a boarding house. Her family used to celebrate Christmas with the older residents. Now that the house has new residents, Yachiyo wants to restart that tradition.
Rena is about to say something, but is interrupted when Kaede says they should celebrate with everyone. Kaede also thinks this year's Christmas should be for Sana. Momoko agrees and tells Rena not to make a fuss. She says she knows Rena wants to do this. A flustered Rena accepts. Felicia says she'll join in because she's the best.
Episode 3
Yachiyo suggests they divide the roles, which was also part of the house's Christmas tradition. Tsuruno offers to bring the food, but Felicia says they eat Tsuruno's food all the time. Tsuruno says it won't be, as she's creating a Christmas menu for her family's restaurant. Momoko offers to take care of the cake, and asks Rena, Kaede and Iroha to help. Yachiyo then asks Felicia and Sana to handle decorations. Yachiyo claims she will be their producer, as she's the one making the arrangements. Tsuruno figures Yachiyo is like their magistrate. The girls prepare for Christmas Eve.
Episode 4
Momoko brings Iroha, Rena, and Kaede to a cake shop. It turns out Momoko is distantly related to the owners and they make her an offer. If she would help out around the shop, she'd get a cake. In order to help, Iroha and Rena are made to wear Christmas costumes, which they find embarrassing. Momoko points out the costumes wouldn't suit her, and it would be impossible for Kaede to wear one. Rena tries to storm out but Momoko begs her to stay. Iroha decides she will stay for Sana's sake and tells Rena they should do their best. Momoko and Kaede stare at Rena until she finally accepts.

Episode 6
Kaede reveals Rena was helping at a friend's flower shop for Christmas, and points out this makes Rena an advertising veteran. She also claims Rena is Iroha's senior, which makes her responsible for Iroha's actions. Kaede says that in advertising, you need courage to throw yourself at customers, but Rena isn't displaying that courage. Rena says Kaede isn't doing much either, but Kaede claims she was holding back to make Iroha and Rena look better. Kaede says to leave it her, but then says that because Rena's heart isn't in it the only voice she can hear now is her own. Rena yells at Kaede, but finally tells her to "Watch this!"
Episode 7
Rena throws herself into the skit, prompting Momoko to say Kaede knows how to handle Rena. Kaede wonders if that's what she's experienced in. Rena's enthusiasm also has an effect on Iroha. The girl's are able to sell all the cakes in the shop, and get a cake in return.
Episode 8
Afterward, Iroha visits Tsuruno at her family's restaurant and finds she's wearing a reindeer costume. Tsuruno explains she's having a hard time coming up with things for the "Chinese Christmas" menu, so she's trying to "get in character". Despite this, she still can't come up with anything and asks Iroha for help.
Episode 9
Tsuruno comes up with the idea of the "Trice", fried rice stacked up to look like a Christmas tree. Iroha isn't very excited by it. Tsuruno the tries the "Trumpling", which is the same thing but with dumplings instead of rice. Iroha tells her to forget about the tree. The girls try some more things, but it doesn't go very well. Suddenly Tsuruno's father returns from a walk. He says he met a customer in front of the store, which makes Tsuruno ask Iroha if they can pick up later. The customer asks for mapo tofu, which gives Iroha the idea to make some for Christmas. Tsuruno thinks they should stack it in the shape of a Christmas tree, to Iroha's annoyance.
Episode 10
Iroha's idea is to make dishes with the colors of Christmas - Santa's red and white, or the green of a tree. Tsuruno realizes the mapo tofu Iroha suggested had a red color. Tsuruno thanks Iroha and says she'll prepare the menu alone. Iroha wonders if she can help Yachiyo. Back in her home, Yachiyo thinks she was the one looking forward to the party the most.

Felicia and Sana shop for decorations. Felicia thinks they should go to the mountains to get a tree, which they can set on a table. Sana says they'll break the table and suggests buying shining things instead, like Christmas lights. Felicia says they can buy lights and set them all over the house.

Felicia gets an idea - the two will become "The Anti-Christmas Squad".

Felicia says they'll make their move on the 24th. Sana says the name makes them sound like the bad guys. Felicia asks if the name isn't cool enough. Sana says she isn't sure about the whole thing. Felicia says it's more fun than having a party, but then says it's something she said on a whim.
Sana apologizes to Felicia, but Felicia tells her not to worry. Felicia says they should go shopping, which translates to walking around everywhere. She then gets distracted by a park. Sana thinks she's worried about Felicia, who's usually cheerful. Sana also thinks she has dark emotions in her heart. The next day, she speaks to Yachiyo and Iroha.

Himika wishes she could do more when she hears a voice praising her. The speaker is Holy Mami, who claims she brings salvation and blessings. Mami says she came in through the door the children left open. She said she overheard Himika's conversation.
Himika isn't sure how Mami heard from outside the house, and also says it's no excuse to enter someone's home without permission. Mami says she's there to give Himika a little happiness.

But when Felicia was about to light the candle one year she heard a voice in her head - a witch. Felicia says that Christmas makes her remember her parents and the witch that killed them.

Sana says they still need to buy the decorations and the trio go together. The girls wait for Christmas Eve.
Episode 28
When Sana tells Yachiyo what happened, Yachiyo says it's exactly what she would expect from Iroha and starts chuckling. Iroha comes in and asks what they were talking about, but neither give her an answer. Felicia says Tsuruno's coming, and she arrives wearing the reindeer costume. The costume leaves Yachiyo nearly speechless. Tsuruno says she's made her Chinese Christmas menu: Red mapo tofu, green stir-fried vegetables and yellow crab omelette on rice. Iroha wonders if Felicia just made what they talked about. Felicia says it's the same food Tsuruno always makes, but when she tries the tofu she finds it pleasantly spicy.
Momoko's group arrives with the cake. Felicia asks for a slice, but Iroha tells her to wait. Momoko prods Rena to speak to Felicia. Rena apologizes for being mistaken about Santa and admits he isn't real. Felicia then says she believes Santa is real.

The Kamihama Joy Delivery Service
(This scene plays when the player logs in on December 25th, 2017)
As Christmas draws near, all the magical girls see a mysterious account appear in the messaging app: "Kamihama Happiness Delivery Service". According to the rumor, if you tell them your wish, happiness will find it's way to you. As it turns out, the "messengers of happiness" are Tsuruno, Iroha and Rena. Tsuruno is excited and basically forces the other girl into shouting the name of their little group. Tsuruno says her reindeer's red nose will brighten the roads and keep them safe. Rena points out Tsuruno doesn't have a red nose. Tsuruno sings a song about a telling a reindeer your wish and finding it in your sock. The girls reach their first house, and sneak into it with the help of Rena's transformation ability. Rena feels she's being used, but thinks Kaede will be delighted.
Christmas morning, Felicia tells Yachiyo that when she woke up, she found movie tickets to see "Doraemonball". Yachiyo says she also got a gift, a Hakata kitchen knife. Sana got a book about historical punishments, which is something she was sort of interested in. Momoko arrives and thinks it might be the work of a rumor. Momoko explains other magical girls have received gifts, and Kaede wanted to ask Iroha about it. Kaede says her gift was ornamental plants, and she wants to know if everyone else got something. She then asks Rena if she was with Iroha last night, since they couldn't find Rena at her house.
Rena says she can go wherever she wants, but then Kaede asks what her gift was. Yachiyo points out that Tsuruno and Iroha disappeared last night as well. Tsuruno, Iroha, and Rena telepathically contact each other and bemoan the fact that they forget to get gifts for themselves. Rena wonders what to tell them. The girls are unable to answer Yachiyo and Kaede's questions. Yachiyo chuckles and says it appears everyone in her house got a gift.
