Plot
After the 'Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure' team: Cures Summer, Corla, Papaya, Flamingo and La Mer defeats the Yaraneeda summoned by Numeri, Sango tells everyone at the beach about the singing event at the mall, which interests Laura. Moments after, Sharon uses the Huangs to invite Manatsu and the others to the Snow Kingdom of Chantia. After arriving to the kingdom via the train, Sharon welcomes the girls and tells them to have fun before the coronation. During the snowball fight, they encounter the 'HeartCatch PreCure' team: Tsubomi, Erika, Itsuki and Yuri. After spending time together and brief tension between Erika, Laura meets Sharon at the courtyard, whom gives her the Snow Heart Kuru Ring. During the coronation, Sharon freezes the performers as they are trying to leave the country after their act, and orders the snow monsters to attack. Both 'Tropical-Rouge!' and 'HeartCatch' teams transform and defeats the monsters.
Sharon reveals to them that Chantia was destroyed long ago during a meteor strike, and plans to use the meteorite's power to bring Chantia back to life, like how it did with her. After Blossom and Marine's failed attack caused by La Mer's protection to Sharon, she locks the 'HeartCatch' team in the basement. After Coral, Papaya and Flamingo rescues the trapped 'HeartCatch' team from the basement, La Mer confronts Sharon, where she suggest she and La Mer to combine powers to save Chantia, but refuses. Unable to control her emotions, Sharon creates a strong snow monsters 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 Snow Crystal Tropical Style, and purifies Sharon with "Heart Shining Orchestra" attack.
With her strength dwindling, Sharon is moved by La Mer's Chantia 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 that they met before she disappears. Back home on Minamino Island, Laura and the others sing Chantia song during the singing event at the mall, with Tsubomi and the others cheering them on.
