[Lucy] Mom! I'm home!
Lucybear! [screaming]
Oh, I'm so glad you're home!
I'm so happy to be home.
[sniffs] Oh it smells good, like hot chocolate.
And paint?
I can proudly say I'm responsible for both.
Wait, what's that?
I thought you said you have two weeks vacation!
Mom, it's just some work I brought home to get ahead.
Uh huh.
You're home! Come on!
Ah!
I can't believe you still put up my dance tree.
[Virginia] I can't help myself.
[Lucy] What's this?
[Virginia] Oh it came in the mail.
It was addressed to you.
[reading] "After a hundred years of wonderful memories,
we will be closing our doors permanently.
Come celebrate one last Christmas with us.
Your Winterleigh Family."
What?
Mom! They're closing down the Winterleigh.
That's terrible.
Dad loved that place. We all loved that place.
Especially at Christmas.
He looked forward to watching you dance
in the Christmas Dance there every year.
I wonder what happened to that lovely boy
you used to dance with.
-Barrett Brewster? -Yes!
He was so sweet. And such a good dancer!
I think we should accept the invitation.
I thought you would want to be home for Christmas?
Honestly, Mom,
I think it would be good for both of us.
Our family has such amazing memories from there.
The three of us together.
Lucy, I'm a retired art teacher.
I'm home all the time.
You don't have to twist my arm. I'm in.
Okay then.
Yes!
[Virginia laughing]
I wonder if they still do it?
Oh, I don't know.
Should we call a cab?
[jingle bell horn]
Oh! There it is!
Sorry for the delay, folks!
I had to stop and let some deer pass up the road.
Aggie?
Little Lucy Mortimer?
[both scream happily]
It's been too long!
Oh Virginia!
You still drive the Winterleigh Jolly Trolley?
Two trains a day!
I'm here for reservations and walk-ins!
We should have called. Do you think we'll be okay for rooms?
Oh... I think you'll be just fine.
Oh! I got it!
[Aggie and Virginia laugh]
Let's go!
[Aggie] Only the two of you? Where's Jack?
Oh, he passed some years ago.
[Aggie] Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.
He was always so full of Christmas spirit.
He was.
A big fan of Christmas,
and a huge fan of the Winterleigh.
Well, I'm just so happy to see you both.
[jingle bell horn]
Here we are!
[Virginia] Thanks, Aggie.
Luce, why don't you go check us in
and I'll be right behind you.
I'll get our cottage number.
♪ [Christmas music plays in background] ♪
Hello?
[struggling sounds]
Hello?
Hi!
Oh!
Excuse me. Can I... Sorry!
I overestimated.
I should not be carrying this many wreaths!
Barrett?
Lucy! Hi!
Hi!
I didn't see you.
It's okay!
If wreath wrangling was an Olympic sport...
Champion.
I, uh, wondered if you would be here.
Yeah, I just came up from the city to help my uncle
before Christmas,
and say a proper goodbye to the hotel before we... you know.
Yeah, I'm so sorry to hear that this place is closing.
I know it's been in your family for a long time.
Yeah.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Is your Uncle Hank doing okay?
Yeah, yeah. He's, he's...
[laughter]
There he is.
[Virginia and Hank laughing happily]
Look who I found outside!
Mrs. Mortimer!
This cannot be little Lucy Mortimer.
It is.
Hank!
It's so good to see you!
Hank, the Winterleigh looks amazing!
Thanks, Lucy.
Oh, I cannot wait for the Christmas event itinerary.
I always loved that as a kid.
I'm sorry to say we really don't do the events anymore.
It's been a couple of years now actually.
I'm sad to hear that.
Yeah, I know.
It's not quite the same as when we were kids,
but don't worry.
The Winterleigh still got a little bit of Christmas magic
left up it's sleeve.
Well, that I believe.
Did you get them checked in?
No. I had a wreath incident.
Let me get you a cottage.
So...
How about...
Cottage 21?
Oh! Lucy, that's our favorite cottage!
I know Mrs. Mortimer.
[Barrett] Let me help you with your bags.
Thank you!
-Bye Hank. -See you later.
[Hank] Bye.
[Lucy] Is that the Dance Hall!
[Barrett] Uh huh.
Why don't you guys go ahead.
I'll meet you in the cottage.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
-Yeah? -Yes.
Okay.
-Wait... -Yeah.
-No... -Uh huh.
[Lucy laughs] My goodness!
Ah!
That is from our first Christmas Dance together.
Wow.
And look, five years later,
our last Christmas Dance together.
We were...
-Fifteen? -Uh huh.
Do you still dance?
-I don't. -Really?
Why'd you stop?
It's a long story, but...
I'm a lawyer now,
so there's really not much time for dancing.
Whoah!
Free-spirited Lucy Mortimer is a lawyer now?
I mean we all have to grow up some time.
Can't dance forever, right?
What do you do?
I'm a dancer.
Oh, that's great!
I actually think I love it now more than when we were kids.
How is that even possible?
Well, I haven't really taken the leap into
the whole wife and kids thing yet,
so dancing is still my whole world.
I stay busy doing Broadway shows.
Okay Mr Nonchalant.
Broadway?
You really did it!
Yeah. Yeah.
I love it almost as much as I love teaching kids to dance
at the city youth center.
And you also teach dance.
Seeing kids take their first dance steps, it's the best.
And some of them are pretty good, actually.
They're not "Lucy Mortimer" good, but you know...
We were really good together.
Yeah.
I wanted to teach a few classes here while I'm at the hotel,
but helping my uncle is a full time job.
However...
♪ [beautiful music begins]
♪
You still got it.
♪
Wow.
You... you've learned some new moves!
I've had a lot of practice since we last danced.
Right.
You're like a grown man now.
[they both giggle]
Thanks. I think.
I'm sorry. I...
I can't believe I remembered how to do that.
I can.
I should probably get to my cottage and...
Yeah. Yeah.
I've got to finish up my wreath project.
Right.
Thanks for the spin down memory lane.
Anytime.
It's good to have you back, Lucy.
It's good to be back.
[door opening]
Come taste heaven, Lucy.
[Virginia] Heaven!
Mmmmmmm...
These are worth the trip alone.
Uh huh.
Look how many people used to come to this place!
[Lucy reading] My favorite part of Christmas
is the gingerbread house competition.
Mine too.
[Lucy reading] Mary.
[Lucy reading] I love Christmas at the Winterleigh
because of the snow... Jack.
[Lucy reading] My favorite part of Christmas
was the Christmas Dance and Make-A-Snowman Event.
-Oh Lucy! -Oh Mom!
[they both laugh]
♪ [Christmas music playing in lobby] ♪
[footsteps]
Hi Lucy!
Hey Barrett.
So, are they still your favorite cookies?
Oh! Without a doubt.
Did you send those over?
Just a little welcome back.
Do you still keep any guest books from the past?
My Uncle Hank keeps them in the library.
Great! Thanks!
Wait, I'll come with you.
So are you working on a case?
Look at this.
Oh! Your snowman.
That's really cute, Lucy.
So you're trying to see what else you wrote about
in other guest books?
Not exactly.
I want to see what all the Winterleigh guests
wrote in the guest books.
Ahhhhhh.
No, I'm still lost.
Oh.
These guest books are filled with guests raving about
the Christmas events that Winterleigh used to put on.
[Barrett reading] My favorite part of this Christmas
was the Santa letter writing station.
I remember that! That was a good one.
Read another one.
[Barrett reading] This year was the best Christmas Dance ever.
Almost all of the entries mention the Christmas Dance.
I mean, it was the best.
Barrett...
What if we brought it back?
Let's have one last Christmas Dance!
That sounds...
Amazing.
But Hank said that we don't have the budget or the people for it.
But...
If we created Christmas events leading up to it
to bring more people in,
events like your uncle used to create,
well, without breaking the bank,
we could give the Winterleigh the send off that it deserves!
And I know a great dance instructor
who could rehearse with the guests to get them ready.
I've got a lot of things...
And I could easily step into your role for a couple hours
every morning to help Hank while you teach the class.
Oh! "Easily", huh?
You know what I meant. [giggles]
Lucy you don't have to spend your Christmas break
doing this, you know.
I know, but, um...
I miss the Christmas Dance.
And all of the events.
Some of my favorite memories are from this place
when my family was...
When it was all of us.
I just want the new guests to create those memories
for themselves before we all have to say goodbye
to the Winterleigh for good.
If you think we can pull it off in time.
Maybe we dance together like in the old days?
[scoffs] I'm a lawyer.
Lawyers are good under pressure and time constraints.
So I will stick to that for now.
We already invited all of our usual regulars to join us
this year and you see how few people showed up.
But did you invite the kids?
The kids?
The guests that we should be focusing on
are the children that grew up coming to the Winterleigh.
Like us!
Our generation is creating our own traditions
to recapture the magic from when we were younger.
[Steven] We can help.
We'd love to help.
We met in this library 20 years ago.
The Winterleigh is why we're together.
See? We all love this place.
[Lucy] People would help us pull this off.
Okay.
[Lucy] Okay, so the Christmas Dance is on Christmas Eve.
And we have the events leading up to it:
The Cookie Icing Icebreaker, the S'mores Social,
the Send-To-Santa Station.
But we are missing one event.
We need to do your Make-A-Snowman thing!
That's kind, but there's not enough snow.
I know, but maybe it will snow between now and Christmas?
Is that my lucky gold paint pen?
[Barrett] Yeah it is.
It still works?
Uh huh.
I used it to write on the bottom of my dance shoes
when they would wear out.
You left it here that last Christmas.
You want it back?
I mean, if you've held onto it for this long,
it's pretty much yours at this point.
[Hank] You know what?
That event, I can take care of that.
Are you sure, Uncle Hank?
You just put down "Hank's Christmas Surprise".
I'll take care of everything.
I could help you with that if you'd like, Hank.
I may be a retired art teacher
but I still like anything creative.
[chuckles] Sounds like you could be the perfect partner.
[Lucy] Hello, this stuff is amazing!
Why is it in boxes?
I have a feeling Uncle Hank cut back on the decorations
since the guests stopped coming.
Oh, we are definitely using these!
Okay.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, come on.
So, she's an artist, a dancer,
event planner slash wanna be hotel manager.
You forgot lawyer.
Oh, the lawyer. Yeah.
That wasn't always part of the plan though.
I actually minored in dance.
Why did you stop?
I injured my knee senior year, and while I was healing,
I volunteered with a couple student groups on campus,
and discovered law.
I love helping people.
It makes living in the city more tolerable.
Yeah. Sometimes I don't even realize how crazy it is
there until I come here to see my uncle.
Then it all just...
Melts away.
So, do you love it?
I do.
But it's nice to get away, though.
Like you say, let it all...
Melt away.
[they both laugh]
But is it your passion?
I don't know if anyone has ever asked me that before.
Do you at least have someone that you're passionate about?
I don't.
And that is the last word I would use to describe
my most recent relationship.
Hmmm... Whoever that was totally missed out.
[Lucy] Oh no no no.
Are you sure?
I mean...
We're in the sleigh.
That's perfect.
Ah, excuse me, hello... What about you?
Okay. That's fair.
And?
You look like Santa. That's great.
On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer, on Vixen.
[jingle bell horn]
[Aggie] May I present the Terry family!
-Marlee? -Marlee Terry?
Lucy! Barrett!
I got your message about the Winterleigh,
and got on the next train up!
Who is this?
Hello!
This is my daughter, Posie.
Hi Posie. Nice to meet you.
Hi Posie! I'm Barrett.
Nice to meet you.
Mommy said we're having Christmas here,
and that Santa will find me no matter where I am!
Absolutely!
Santa loves the Winterleigh!
I'm so glad to be back.
Thank goodness you guys put that post up.
Let's get you checked in!
Follow me.
[happy din of indistinct chattering, laughing]
Hi.
This looks amazing.
Is my uncle here yet?
Yeah. He's just mingling with some of the guests.
He did seem a little disappointed about the turn out,
but I assured him that it's just the first event.
Okay, good.
Are you ready to decorate some cookies with me?
I would, but...
I'm here as an organizer. So...
Oh I see.
That's too bad.
They smell really really good.
I guess I'm just going to have to go see how they taste...
By myself.
I mean, I guess I could take a break.
Yeah? Think so? Cool.

Uh huh. And I already ate it!
Oh, well.
Then maybe you could be the judge

Wait, I did not know that this was a competition.
Sure!

Well, Lucy!
Be sure to add a few more marshmallows
for tonight's event!
-[children cheer] -[Lucy] You got it, Hank.
Come on in!
[Barrett] Okay.
Where do you want them?
Ah, I think over here.
Great.
Or maybe we should put them over there
so we can pass them out and make sure everyone gets one?
Okay, we could do that.
Oh, I need to find the most perfect spot.
Hold on.
Lucy. Either would work.
Let's wait and see.
Sorry, I'm used to having a plan.
Let's see how it plays out when people walk in.
Okay.
It's just like that time in the Christmas Dance
when we were going to do the turn...
-Oh wow. -Remember?
But instead we ended up doing...
-The dip! -Exactly!
That was the best part of the dance.
I was petrified.
Sometimes you have to let the unplanned lead the plan.
Oh my gosh.
That must be the most Barrett Brewster statement
I have ever heard.

[Marlee] Isn't this place so magical?
[Lucy] Hi Ladies!
How was your second day at the Winterleigh?
It was amazing!
I want to live here every Christmas!
Well, I think that pretty much sums it up.
I want another one.
You know you can actually go and roast those by the fire.
-Okay. -Want to try?
Okay. Be careful.
-Oh hi! -Hi.
You want to have a s'more?
-Yeah. -All right.
Can you believe this place is closing?
I'm a TV reporter for BHNY,
and unfortunately, I've done several pieces
on these boutique hotels in the Catskills.
They can't keep up with the big hotel chains.
Well.
Everyone used to come here when we were younger.
[Marlee] Not anymore.
Speaking of when we were younger.
[Marlee] I saw the way Barrett looked at you back then,
and let me tell you, some things don't change.
Please.
See...
-Uh huh. -Uh huh.
I forgot how in love with s'mores I am.
Yeah. I can see that.
What?
[Barrett laughs] Come here.
Lucy, thanks again.
For what?
We're giving the Winterleigh the goodbye it deserves.
One last Christmas Dance.
Right.
That's a great way to look at it.
I know you're still a dancer.
How? How do you know that?
How do you know you're not?
We need to book this.
There's still time to get in rehearsals.
It would be a sad day in the world of dance
if Lucy Mortimer hung up her dance shoes for good.
Plus, no matter how long you're away from something,
you can always come back to it.
[Jazzy music playing] All right. Come on! Come on!
♪
[music ends] [clapping]
[Barrett] Aren't you proud of your mom, Posie?
[Barrett] You guys!
You are inspiring me to make this
the best Christmas Dance the Winterleigh has ever seen.
All right, let's keep it going with body posture,
smart breathing and great energy.
All right?
All right. Let's do it one more time!
Come on.
All right. Here we go again.
[laughing, indistinct chattering]
You know, I remember Barrett saying that
there's still some magic left up the Winterleigh's sleeve,
but I think he meant your sleeve, Lucy.
This is amazing!
Well, I am having the time of my life!
How's Barrett's dance rehearsal going?
Oh. He's an unbelievable teacher.
So hands-on.
He makes everyone feel relaxed and confident.
Well that's good to know.
Maybe one day I'll...
[Lucy laughs]
Join in.
Yes! You should. You should!
He really does has a gift.
You know when Barrett puts his heart into something...
He goes all in.
Hmmm.
And of all the dancing he's done...
Do you know the only person he's ever referred to
as his "partner"?
Just you.
Lucy! I twirled, I swirled, I spinned!
Hello tiny dancer!
Wow!
[Lucy] We are setting up a station so that everyone
can write and send their letters to Santa tonight.
That will be good... I guess.
Is something wrong?
Well it's just that Christmas is this week,
and I've got to make sure that Santa knows I'm here.
We need to get all our letters all the way to the North Pole,
and the mail is so slow.
That is a good point.
Mail delivery is a valid concern, Posie.
Hmmmm, let me see if I can think of a faster way
to get your wish to Santa.
High five!
Great! You're all set!
We'll see you tomorrow! Bye.
Another reservation?
Yes.
[jingle bell horn in background] That's the third today!
Winterleigh Family, let me introduce you to the Cobbs,
the Randolphs, and the Mastersons!
All members of Barrett's Youth Dance Class family.
Debbie! Hi! Hey!
What's up?
-Hi Brady! -Hi Barrett!
Are you ready to have the best Christmas of your life?
I've been dancing over break, and I'm ready for anything!
Yes! Of course you are.
Everybody, this is Lucy Mortimer.
Lucy, these are all my youth dance group friends.
And my students, Sam, Ellie and Brady.
It's so nice to meet you all.
Barrett, can I be in your Christmas Dance?
Me too? I've been practicing!
Yes! Of course. Everybody can!
All right, let's get you guys all checked in and set up, and,
who wants a tour of the Winterleigh and a candy cane?
[Kids together] Me!
Come on in.
[happy chatter, laughing]
[indistinct chattering, laughing]
[Barrett] Wow!
I did not know that the North Pole could fit
into the Atrium.
-This is amazing, Lucy. -Thank you.
I just love seeing everyone writing their letters to Santa.
Shall we?
Oh!
What are you going to wish for?
I'm not sure.
Me either.
Okay, well, obviously world peace.
Well obviously.
I think we should ask Santa
for something that's missing in our lives.
You know, my invitation to come back here
was addressed in gold pen.
Did you send out all the invitations?
I did a few.
Maybe not a few.
I only did yours.
You never came back.
This felt like my last chance to ever see you again.
Barrett, why didn't you reach out until now?
I would have answered.
From the moment my uncle told me that he was going to have
to close the Winterleigh,
I couldn't stop thinking about you.
The times we were partners together,
were some of the best times of my life.
We just had something that was...
Magical.
Yes!
I always thought we would end up meeting here again someday.
And now with this being the last Christmas,
I knew that would never happen unless I really tried.
Well, I'm really glad that you did...
Try.
[Children screaming with delight]
Okay, umm...
Something missing in my life...
[indistinct chattering, laughing]
Okay.
I know that you like to prepare for everything,
but sometimes you just got to let...
The unplanned lead the plan.
Be my partner for the Christmas Dance.
Barrett...
You'll never know unless you try.
Okay, fine.
Yes! Yes! Amazing!
[Barrett] I got my partner back!
[indistinct chattering]
Good morning, everyone!
Morning!
So many new faces!
This is awesome!
Okay, so the Christmas Dance is right around the corner.
It's not a lot of time, but we're still going to make
this the best Christmas Dance in the history of the Winterleigh!
-Right? -Yes!
Let's get to it.
So for those of you just joining,
I like to show the whole arrangement first,
and then I break it down into steps.
But first, I want to bring up my dance partner.
Lucy, you want to come and help me for a minute?
Yes she does!
No! I'm fine.
You're doing great.
[beautiful piano music starts] Go dance with Barrett!
He's awesome!
You'll do great!
Come on they want to see it. Come up here.
[Lucy whispering] I thought we were going to ease into this.
I think you may surprise yourself.
What are we doing?
I want to test something out for the spotlight dance.
Spotlight! You didn't say anything about the spotlight...
Just... Go with it. Follow me.
♪
Five, 6, 7, 8... Slow.
Melt...
And melt...
[music ends]
Whoa!
That was great.
I'm going to go back to my spot.
Uh huh.
Okay!
[Barrett] I would like to review the group dance
with my under 15 dancers.
And the rest of you, go ahead and get warmed up.
[indistinct chattering]
It's still there, isn't it?
What is?
Your love of dance.
I guess it is.
I'll see you at the next rehearsal?
Our one-on-one rehearsal.
So I can teach you the rest of the spotlight dance.
Trust me.
I am working on something special for the finale.
See you at our rehearsal.
-Okay. -Okay.
[Virginia singing] Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly.
[Hank chuckles] How's it coming, partner?
Oh! You and me are right on track.
I've got almost all of them done!
These look incredible, Virginia.
What would I have done without you?
Thanks, Hank.
Okay.
Katie wants a puppy.
[they both chuckle]
You know, sorting through these
reminds me of the old days.
How are you feeling about the Winterleigh closing?
Oh, well,
I'm trying to focus on what good can come out of it.
I'll have more time.
A chance for a second act.
Times are changing.
I guess I haven't been good keeping up.
Well, I'll tell you this.
Every person who comes to the Winterleigh
leaves feeling like they're part of a family,
and that's because of the way you treat them
and the love you pour into this hotel.
You should feel nothing but proud.
And I'll tell you something else.
Whatever hobby, whatever you choose to put your time toward,
will be worth it.
We can all have a second act in life.
Well you've made all this easier, Virginia.
Well, let's finish your surprise.
I guess we're going to need more supplies.
Yes definitely.
We got lots of Christmas wishes here.
Okay, we want the place to feel really festive tonight.
Do we have more garland and strand lights?
[Alex] I can see if I can find some in the warehouse.
[Lucy] Sounds great. Thank you guys!
Sounding good, guys.
Oh...
I'm so glad you're liking it Hank!
Lucy...
I know you have a successful career in law,
but if the Winterleigh wasn't closing,
I'd hire you to run this place in a New York minute.
Well. This is my favorite case I've ever taken on.
[chuckles] Okay.
I'm going to work on my special project.
Any hints about this surprise?
Ohhhh.
It's merry. It's bright.
And I'll see you tonight.
[Posey laughing, giggling] That tickles!
[knocking at door]
-Come in! -Come in!
Hey guys!
What's up? Are you going to finally admit to me
that you're in love with Barrett?
No, actually that is not why I came by, believe it or not.
You are though.
It's only a matter of time.
Anyway, I came by because there aren't as many
reservations as I hoped we would have by now.
And I feel like Barrett and I have exhausted our resources.
How can I help?
How do you feel about doing a story on the Winterleigh?
On it closing?
No, just something that reminds people
of how amazing this place is.
Are you kidding?
I love the Winterleigh as much as you.
And now seeing Posie up here,
it changes everything for me.
But, Lucy is this all about the Winterleigh?
All I know is
there is something here that I'm not ready to say goodbye to yet.
And that "something" teaches dance to kids.
[Lucy chuckles] Stop!
Well, I'd love to do a segment!
What did you have in mind?
Let's get the word out about the Christmas Dance,
and maybe the piece could create...
Hope.
Done. I'll pitch it to my producers.
Great!
There's not that much time.
Oh, and I haven't spoken to Barrett or Hank about it yet.
And it would need to be tonight.
Okay. It's going to be tight.
I'll call and see if I can get a crew.
But...
But wait till I hear back from you before I pull the trigger.
Got it.
[Barrett] Hey!
I got your cute invitation.
Glad you accepted.
Oh. Before we get started,
I have something to ask you.
Great, because I have something to ask you too.
-Okay. Go first. -Okay.
So, before you say no,
I have been thinking about us dancing together again,
and I think that we need to do something bigger
than what we did during the last Christmas Dance.
Bigger than the dip?
Yes. If you trust me.
You, and your knee can do it.
Okay.
I know... Are you saying yes?
-Yes! -Yeah?
-This is me saying yes! -Awesome!
Great!
Although the dip was a bit...
[together] Unplanned!
Yes! Perfect!
Okay, join me up here.
Okay.
Oh, I was thinking that maybe we could do like a
"bunhh bunnh","chee chee", "bunhh bunnh","chee chee".
I love a bunhh bunhh and chee chee.
All right. Come here so we get it right.
Bunhh bunhh... Chee chee... Yeah!
Bunhh bunhh... Chee chee...
That's perfect.
And then what if we went into a little bit of a
Cha cha...
To... jump right here.
Okay.
Perfect. Swish. Boom.
-I like that move. -Me too.
I'm... I need a break.
Yeah.
I'm going to take the rest of the day to really just
lock in that finale move.
Hey! Weren't you going to ask me something?
Oh! Yes!
I spoke to Marlee earlier today
about the reservation numbers.
Okay.
You know she works for BHNY now right?
-Yeah. -I was thinking...
What if she does a piece on the Winterleigh
to get the word out about the Christmas Dance?
It's tomorrow, Lucy.
I just want to do everything that we can to...
Don't you?
I don't know if that's what's best for my uncle.
I don't want to cause him anymore heartache.
You know, it's hard enough for him to have to say goodbye
without the world watching.
Marlee did say that it would be positive.
More hopeful than sad.
It's Uncle Hank's call.
Ask him how he feels, okay?
Okay. I'm going to go do that now.
Okay.
I'll see you tonight.
[cell phone buzzes]
Oh no.
[Alex] All finished Lucy!
Amazing!
Have you guys seen Hank, by chance?
Not in a while.
Yeah, I haven't seen him since earlier today.
Thanks.
[Virginia singing] Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride...
[Virginia singing] On a one horse open sleigh...
Oh what fun it is to...
Hey Lucybear!
Mom!
Wow, you've gotten a lot of "whatever these are" done.
Yep!
We are going to be ready for tonight.
Speaking of "we," I can't find Hank anywhere,
and he left his phone at the front desk.
He did?
Run out? Where?
The city, I think.
Is there something I could help you with?
Is everything okay?
Yeah. I mean no.
There's just so much going on.
I feel like I'm playing mystery guest with tonight's event
and now somehow I'm going to be doing a partner routine
with Barrett at the Christmas Dance.
You're dancing with Barrett again? [screams]
That's wonderful.
It is.
Okay, there's something you're not telling me.
The dance or the boy?
Both?
The boy.
Lucy, honey, you've got to tell him how you feel!
You know, there's a reason the universe brought us back
to the Winterleigh.
You've got to take the risk, and open up your heart.
Trust it.
Go all in!
I feel like I'm ready to go all in.
But what if Barrett doesn't feel the same?
Well, my angel...
That is impossible.
Lucy!
I've been looking for you everywhere!
[Lucy] So what's going on?
[Marlee] My producers, they can't wait any longer.
But I haven't been able to find Hank,
and I need to make sure...
They need to know ASAP if they're scrambling
on a crew for tonight.
Lucy, I know you want this to happen.
I do, too.
Okay.
Yeah?
Let's do it.
[train bell clanging]
You're cutting it pretty close, don't you think?
Well, I needed some supplies.
I can't wait to see what you have planned.
[Hank laughs]
[children laughing, people chattering]
[indistinct chattering]
Hi!
[jingle bell horn in background]
[children cheer excitedly]
We're here! We're here! [laughs]
[children cheering]
Is Hank okay?
Yeah. Everything's fine.
Friends of the Winterleigh...
[cheering, clapping]
This week, I was informed by a young guest
that she was afraid her wish to Santa
wouldn't get to the North Pole in time.
[Hank] Attached to every one of these lanterns
are the wishes you wrote to Santa.
And we're going to take your Christmas wishes
and send them up into the sky,
straight up to the North Pole!
And from everyone here at the Winterleigh...
We hope that all your Christmas wishes come true.
[clapping, laughing]
[Hank] Posie has a lantern.
Wow! Santa's going to love this.
[laughter]
This is for Sam.
Sam has a lantern.
[Hank] Ellie has a lantern.
Brady has a lantern.
This is incredible.
Where are our lanterns?
There you are!
-Thank you. -Thank you.
I think you two should share your wishes together
before you release your lanterns.
And let's just say,
Winterleigh did have something left up its sleeve.
Should we open them?
I mean, after that build-up, I think we have to!
[they both laugh]
Okay.
I didn't think anyone was going to read mine
other than the Big Guy.
But it's true.
-Shall we? -Yeah.
Barrett.
Lucy.
What is that?
Hank wanted to do the TV segment?
I wasn't able to find him in time,
so I had to give Marlee the go ahead.
I thought we said that this was his call?
It was. It is!
But we had to make a decision.
It's shining a spotlight on the hotel failing.
No! No, it's not going to be like that.
She's capturing how beautiful this event is.
It's going to be hopeful.
We have to accept that this is the reality.
No news show is going to stop that.
But, maybe I don't want to give up.
Hank tried.
We all tried.
I haven't!
I admire you, Lucy. I do.
But, there's no snow to make snowmen.
And there's no people to fill the rooms.
And I know it looks like it's busier right now,
but people are just coming to say goodbye.
Even you, are leaving after Christmas, right?
I think that's something I have to remind myself of, too.
Barrett, can we just talk.
I'll see you for rehearsals tomorrow.
Lights carrying wishes young and old to Santa himself.
A sight to behold.
Hopefully, one of those wishes
is for this amazing resort's survival.
There are still reservations available,
and everyone is invited to the Winterleigh
for the Christmas Dance tomorrow evening.
[Marlee] Spread the word,
and trust this reporter when I say,
you won't find anywhere more perfect than
the Winterleigh for Christmas.

and I'm really sorry for last night.
Me too.
Okay, I'm going to go back to sleep.
I also want to show you something,
and it only happens as the sun comes up.
So, will you come with me?
♪
Yeah.
[song ends]
So this was my hideout when I was younger.
[Lucy chuckles]
[door closes]
It's adorable.
[Lucy laughs]
Look at us!
So, that's the best place to show you.
Show me?
Breakfast?
Aggie's famous cranberry muffins.
To...
Secret hideouts and...
Christmas Eve picnics at dawn.
To that.
Yes! That's perfect.
So...
I'm sorry for the way I reacted last night.
I spent a long time afterwards just trying to
sort through it all.
It's okay.
This is a lot to take in.
The thing is, I don't really know what's next for me.
You know, I'm always moving on to the next show,
the next production, fast paced, on the go.
And the Winterleigh has always been
the steady home in my life.
It's where I feel most like myself,
and the thought of having to give that up...
It's hard.
I understand.
When my uncle realized that he had to close the hotel,
he was crushed.
And I was too.
You know, we were just waiting for
something to turn around, but, it didn't.
We both lost hope.
So we decided that this Christmas
would be our last hurrah.
And we were ready to say goodbye to the Winterleigh,
and then you got here,
and it all changed.
The Christmas Dance,
spending this time here with you...
Nothing has ever felt more like home for me.
And it's all about to be gone.
Including you.
I wasn't planning on this either.
You got to love the "unplanned", right?
[Lucy laughs]
I've been so set on saving this hotel because
if I have to say goodbye to the Winterleigh,
I'm afraid I'll also have to say goodbye to you.
Really?
I love being a lawyer and helping my clients.
But deep down I always knew that there was something missing.
And then you reminded me of how much I love dancing, and
I got to see the magic of this place again.
It's been wonderful connecting with everybody.
Especially you.
Lucy, there they are.
Oh my goodness.
It's like a painting.
They're beautiful.
I want to try to save the Winterleigh together.
But if we have to let the Winterleigh go,
I don't want to let you go.
I don't want to either.
I have wanted to do that for half of my life.
It was worth the wait.
[knocking at door] Barrett?
[Hank] Are you up here?
Yes!
Lucy and I both are.
[Hank] Oh good!
I've been looking for you both.
Get down here. You've gotta see this!
[laughing and chattering]
Why is everyone up so early?
Guys, we're trendy!
He means we're trending on social media!
What do you mean?
Our Winterleigh segment has been shared, posted,
e-mailed, tweeted, a crazy amount of times!
It's amazing.
Lucy, I can't thank you enough
for setting up the news piece with Marlee!
I'm so glad you're okay with it.
The phone has been ringing off the hook!
Everybody wants information about the Christmas Dance.
We're almost totally booked for tonight!
So, you're happy?
Happy?
Barrett, I'm ecstatic!
[laughter]
We're back, baby!
[laughter]
[phone ringing]
BHNY had people calling in all evening wanting
more information on how they could participate in
the Winterleigh tradition.
It's crazy, guys!
They want to broadcast the Christmas Dance tonight.
Live!
Are you kidding?
I got to call in some of my Broadway peeps.
Yes!
Marlee. Thank you so much.
This is amazing.
This is our last chance to go all in
for the Christmas Dance!
This is where we're really going to ramp it up. Okay.
There's something that I want to try.
I know we can make it work.
Okay? Ready?
Me or my knee?
This is going to take all of you.
Then you can have all of me.
Okay.
This is for you.
Mom, I don't need anything.
I know. Open it!
I haven't had a new pair of these in so long.
Well, I have a mini-Christmas tree waiting
for these when you wear them out.
And I do hope you get lots of wear out of them.
[excited chattering]
[indistinct chattering]
Great to see you!
So good to see you.
[indistinct conversation]
You ready?
Barrett, this is our time to shine!
You better believe it is, Posie.
Hey, have you seen Lucy?
Wow.
Wow. Lucy...
You look incredible.
So do you.
Are you ready?
[she takes a deep breath] I'm a little nervous.
If you start to feel overwhelmed,
just look at me, okay, right here.
Let it all...
Melt away.
[Hank] Hello folks!
Welcome to the Winterleigh Resort Christmas Dance!
[clapping and cheering]
The Winterleigh family used to put on
this Christmas Dance every year.
It was a highlight for our guests,
for our dancers, and for all of us.
We all missed it.
We missed all of you!
[laughter]
I...
Is Barrett back there?
There you are!
Come over here!
You should say something.
Please welcome the Winterleigh Resort Dance Director,
and my nephew, Barrett Brewster.
[cheering, clapping]
It's good to see you up here again, Uncle Hank.
Hello everyone!
So, tonight is all about letting the wonder
of Christmas fill your hearts.
[Barrett] It's also about all of us,
so keep an ear out for your cue!
[audience tittering and laughing]
And from everyone here at the Winterleigh...
Merry Christmas!
Enjoy.

[Aggie] Hank! Hank!
You're not going to believe this!
I just came from the lobby, and there's a whole line up
of people waiting to book for New Years,
and summer, and even for Christmas next year!
What?
I told them to hold off until you could get there.
They are so excited!
♪
[Lucy] Summer! That's perfect.
Barrett, you could open up a dance studio here!
Turn the summer season into a dance camp!
♪
You're getting all of this, right?
[Barrett] Wait.
What is it?
I can't imagine doing anything at the Winterleigh
without you here.
Hank?
I already said I would hire you in a New York minute.
A lawyer and a part time hotel manager?
Gotta love the "unplanned" right?
I can make it work.
It feels just like old times, doesn't it?
Well... Almost.
