Spoiler for Answer:

Taiga wanted to stop loving Ryuji and Kitamura was acting as the God of broken hearts or whatever, so Taiga consulted with him. As to how it connects to the snowstorm when Ryuji rescued Taiga, Taiga felt his face and felt glasses there, so she mistook him for Kitamura, and we know what happened then. Also, Kitamura may have been a dense guy(or was he lol), but he was very perceptive about Ryuji and Taiga's relationship, so when Ryuji asked him to pretend to be the one who carried Taiga up, Kitamura threw out the new years question(which was of course when Taiga told Kitamura she loved Ryuji), so he guessed correctly that Ryuji's request had something to do with that and agreed to help him.
