## Plot

After the Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure team defeats a Yaraneeda summoned by Numeri, Sango tells everyone at the beach about a singing event at the mall, which interests Laura. Soon after, Sharon uses Howan to invite Manatsu and the others to the Snow Kingdom of Shantia. After arriving to the kingdom via train, Sharon welcomes the girls and tells them to have fun before the coronation. During a snowball fight, they encounter the HeartCatch PreCure team: Tsubomi, Erika, Itsuki and Yuri. After spending time together and having brief tension with Erika, Laura meets Sharon in the courtyard, who gives her the Snow Heart Kuru Ring. During the coronation, Sharon freezes the performers as they are trying to leave the country and orders the snow monsters to attack. The Tropical-Rouge! and HeartCatch teams transform and defeat the monsters.
Sharon reveals to them that Shantia was destroyed 13,000 years ago during a meteor strike, and that she was resurrected by the meteorite's power, which she plans to use to bring Shantia back to life. After Blossom and Marine's attack fails because La Mer protects Sharon, she locks the HeartCatch team in the basement. After Coral, Papaya and Flamingo rescue the team from the basement, La Mer confronts Sharon, who suggests she and La Mer combine powers to save Shantia, but she refuses. Unable to control her emotions, Sharon creates strong snow monster to defeat the Cures. However, using the power of the Snow Heart Kuru Ring and powers from the HeartCatch team, the Tropical-Rouge! team gains the Snow Crystal Tropical Style, and purifies Sharon with the "Heart Shining Orchestra" attack.
With her strength dwindling, Sharon is moved by La Mer Singing Shantia’s song. La Mer tells Sharon that she'll sing the kingdom's song for eternity, while Blossom tells her that the kingdom's flower, snowdrop, is still blooming in the present. With the stone gone, Sharon tells Laura that she's glad they met before she disappears. Back home on Aozora City, Laura and the others sing Shantia's song during the singing event at the mall, with Tsubomi and the others cheering them on.
