Up for two.
Twist.
Right foot, go.
Darlene, nice!
Carl, shoulders down, remember?
Maria, you're killing it.
Come on, finish strong.
One more time. Strong arms everybody.
Last four, here we go.
Four, three, two, one, whoo!
[ALL CHEERING]Yay!
You guys are so good.
Ah, it feels so good to be home.
Thank you so much. [KISSES]
We really missed you, around here.
My water aerobics class just isn't cutting it these days.
I missed you too, Maria. Good to see you.
How long are you in town for?
Oh, it's up in the air at the moment.
DARLENE: I hope you're not going back to New York
after what happened.
I mean, we're just so happy to have you back here.
Thanks, Darlene.
I have to go back to the bakery
but can you give your dad these?
I made sugar plum cookies.
His favorite. I'll make sure he gets them.
Thanks, guys. Thanks for coming. Bye.
Oh, let me get that, hon.
I need to grab some more napkins anyway.You're the best.
You look hot. [LAUGHS]
[BOTH SQUEALING AND LAUGHING]
Oh, my gosh, I missed you!
What? I thought you weren't coming until next week.
Oh, slight change of plans. I got in late last night.
Oh, God. Why am I not surprised
that the first thing you'd do is teach a class,
and the second thing is say hi to your best friend.
You know me, I'm always late.
Come on, I want you to try
this new gingerbread latte I've been working on.
Mm, yes, please.
Oh, yeah. It's Christmas in a cup, baby.
[CHUCKLES]
So, tell me. What happened with Bradley?
We decided to take a break.
Wow. Are you okay?
Yes. No. I don't know.
We just needed time apart.
Wow!
Literally Christmas in a cup.
I'm so proud of you.
You made your dream a reality opening this place.
I feel the same about all you did in New York.
Yeah, the difference is I failed.
Which, by the way,
does everyone in town know my New York gym
ran out of business or just Darlene?
You know how fast the news spreads in Mistletoe.
I mean, I think most people knew
that Jim was gonna propose to me long before I did.
It's because I was too excited to keep it a secret.
Jim!Audrey!
Oh, get in here, I missed your hug.
Oh!I don't know if you heard the news
but you are looking at the newest member of the Mistletoe City Council.
Shablammy.Okay!
You know, honey, you don't have to wear that all the time.
Oh, she's jealous of my bling.
Congratulations.
I didn't even know you were running.
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that we have to catch up on.
Are you pregnant?
Oh...No. We... we wish.
Yeah, we haven't had time. Right now we've been consumed with, um...
finding a new location for Mistletoe Coffee Co.
Why? This is the perfect place.
The town is closing the rec center.
Permanently.
How did I not know about this?
I had to wait and tell you in person.
Yeah, that's why we kept it on the DL.
Town budget was slashed
and the first thing on the hit list,
parks and recreation.
I know what this place means to you.
This is horrible.[SCOFFS]
And at tomorrow's council meeting
we're hearing a presentation
from some big ski resort company
that wants to buy up all the land.
Does anyone have any good news?
Any?
Well, you can still teach in the fitness studio.
Until... well, the padlocks go up.
[DEFLATED SIGH]
Thank you.
The place still smells the same,
peppermint and pine.
Ah, well it's much brighter now that you're here.
I still can't believe we have you
for more than three days this Christmas.
Dad?Yeah.
Why didn't you tell me the rec center was closing?
[SIGHS]
You know what, you'd had so much disappointment in New York,
I just didn't wanna ruin your homecoming.
I guess I just always thought it would be there.
You know, part of me taking a big risk in New York
was knowing that Mom's studio was always an option.Mm.
Well, I did fight very hard to get them to cut the budget,
you know, anywhere else.
And I just didn't have the numbers.
[PHONE BEEPING]Oh... yeah.
I've got to deliver these Christmas ornaments
to Carl's Tavern for Saturday night trivia.
You know what, Dad, I'll just take these on my way home.
Really?Yeah.
Oh, that'd be great. Thank you.
Oh, I forgot...
Darlene made you a box of her sugar plum cookies.
Your favorite.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, that's very sweet of her.
You guys see a lot of each other?
No, uh...
No, I mean, I sort of barely know her.
I see her around, on the council.
Can I give you a hand with these boxes?
Dad, I'm a professional fitness instructor.[LAUGHING] Yeah.
I think I can carry some boxes.
Ahh! See ya later.[LAUGHING] See ya.
[PLAYFUL HOLIDAY MUSIC]
Oh!
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]
Merry Christmas!WOMAN: Merry Christmas!
[WHISTLING]
Oh!Oh!
Oh, gosh.
Are you okay?Yeah. Are you okay?
[SPUTTERS] Why are you carrying around a box of dirt?
It's not dirt, it's poinsettias.
Did you not see me?
"Poinsett-ia." "Poinsett-ia." No, I did see you.
I was looking at my phone.
I think it's you that didn't see me
'cause you're carrying this tower of junk.
It's not junk. It's Christmas decorations.
Well...
[GRUNTS] Potato, potato.
Well, junk implies that it's useless or trash
and these are items that bring people joy
and trust me, we all need a little joy right now.
Oh... Oh, what's this?
Let me guess... [INHALES] Overpriced artificial holly.
Careful, this is mistletoe. Not to be messed with.
Overly-passionate about Christmas decor, noted.
[CLEARS THROAT]
You know, I'm sorry I bumped into you
but, uh, a little advice...Mm-hmm?
This town is called Mistletoe for a reason.
Ah.We're a Christmas oasis.
If you don't like the holiday I'd hit the road.
Whoa, whoa. Hit the road?
Does Santa know that you talk like that?
I never told you I don't like the holidays.
In fact, I love it.
I applaud the commercial genius that is Christmas.
The best parts of Christmas are priceless.
Now why does that sound familiar?
It's a commercial.
I have to go.
Far away from you.
Merry Christmas!
[SOFT FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hey.
I know. I know we said no calls.
I just wanted to make sure you got in okay.
I did, thanks.
Good. Listen, you, uh...
you tell your dad I say hi, all right?
Bradley, being on a break means
I don't tell my dad you say hi.
Right, that makes sense.
Are we sure about this?
I feel like we might be overreacting.
Well, what's the proper way to react
when your boyfriend wants to put things on hold?
No, no. I never said let's put us on hold.
I just felt like getting engaged right now was... reckless.
Reckless?
We always said we wanted to be engaged by this Christmas
and then you suddenly changed your mind.
That was before we lost the gym. I...
I'm sorry. I didn't call to fight, okay?
I... I just really miss you. I miss us.
I miss that, too.
But I really feel like being apart...
taking this time is the right reset we both need.
Yeah. If you say so.
Good night, Bradley.
Bye, Audrey.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
AUDREY: You look exactly the same.
Look at this.
I got nostalgic while decorating last night.
Oh.
Look at us in our little tutus.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Didn't we insist on rainbow frill for, like, four years?
Your mom joked we'd be going to prom in them.
Mm-hmm.Oh, gosh.
I keep thinking what she'd say about this place closing.
Yeah. This place means so much to so many.
Though not everyone can say they had their first kiss here.
I totally forgot!
Dante Fitzpatrick after dance class.
I... I think you were the first and last girl he ever kissed.
[BOTH LAUGH]Oh, gosh.
Wait a minute, what are you doing here so early?
I didn't think you had a class this morning.
Somebody booked a private session.
I put a link up on my stories
saying I'd be back at home teaching, filled right up.
You sound surprised.
Oh, let's just say I have a little PTSD
from the lack of attendance at the New York City gym.
Hm. Well, here, you're appreciated and loved.
Thanks, Lisa.
Good morning! Are you here for your...
You?
You're my private session?
Man, this is a small town.
I had no idea that you worked here.
You see, when I'm on the road traveling,
I never wanna miss a workout.
Our inn has no gym, so Darlene down at the bakery,
she said the very best instructor she's ever had is back in town.
She signed me up. I'm assuming that's you.
Yep. That's me.
Wow. [CLEARS THROAT] Modest, too.
So what are we looking at here?
Some weights? Some plates? These are terrible by the way.
Dance.
[LAUGHS]
No, no. Darlene said you were a fitness instructor.
I am. I teach dance-based fitness.
My routines involve a lot of cardio and coordination.
Ew... like dance for fitness?
Trust me, it gets intense.
I do cross-fit.
Some side shuffle's not gonna cut it.
We'll see.Okay.
[CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYS]
Ooh. Christmas music?
Starting November 1st, it's the only thing I play.
You ready?Okay. [CLEARS THROAT]
It's a simple routine.
You start on the right foot, single, single.
Double on the right, left, right,
and a double on the left.
You want me to do that?
Well, you do cross-fit, right? Surely this will be easy.
Six, seven, eight! Single! Single!
Double!
Single, single, double kick right!
A kick, kick, kick! Kick, kick, out and right!
Right leg for four, three, two...
Left, four, three, two, step touch.
And a-one and a-two and a-three and a-four and a twist.
And a-one, two, three, whoo!Whoo...
Okay. I think that's enough for today.
You hear that? That is the sweet sound of no more Christmas music.
Well, you sure picked the wrong town to vacation in
if you don't like Christmas.
Oh, no, no, no. I'm, uh...
I'm not on vacation. This is strictly business for me.
Wait, Darlene said you're back in town.
What does she mean by that?
Oh, I grew up in Mistletoe
and then, after college, came back here and taught classes.
But it was always my dream to open a gym in New York
so for the last couple years that's what I did.
Oh, so you're basically home for the holidays then.
Well, something like that.
You know, my private sessions are for more advanced levels.
You might do better in one of my group classes.
Okay, I'll think about that.
You really got my heart rate up.
Nice grip.
Mm.
Bye.Bye.
[PLAYFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
AUDREY: I know. We'll talk.[GAVEL BANGING]
Welcome everyone, welcome.
Uh, Darlene, I believe you wanted to kick things off.
I... I just wanted to remind everyone
that the last ever rec center Christmas party will be on Christmas Eve.
[APPLAUSE]
Everyone is invited. Good drinks, great music.
EDGAR: Thank you, Darlene.
You'd better believe I'll be there.
So I know the closing of the rec center
has been hard on all of us.
I just wanna remind everybody that this meeting
is to hear ideas about what should happen to the building
and of course, that includes Mount Mistletoe.
Uh... the final vote will be on December 23rd.
And that is just before the council adjourns for the Christmas holidays.
You again?
Okay, this is coming close to stalking.
A tad presumptuous, don't you think?
Thinking I came here just for you.
What are you doing here then?
Well, isn't the whole town invited?
Everyone who lives in Mistletoe.
Don't you technically live in New York?
[MOCKINGLY] "Don't you technically live in New York?"
First, the council recognizes Griffin Weston from Skyridge Resorts.
That's my cue. Watch my jacket.
He's the resort guy?
Do you know him?
He was my private session this morning.
Conveniently didn't mention why he was in town.
Mistletoe is such a charming little town.
A Christmas oasis, if you will. [LAUGHS]
[SCOFFS]
Imagine a place where you can eat the best food,
drink the best wine
and get the most relaxing massage of your life.
And at this place, imagine a ski slope so smooth,
so serene, that as you're flying,
the wind's blowing by you,
you have to ask yourself, "Am I actually flying?"
That place is called Skyridge Resort.
People can't be buying this.
GRIFFIN: And that dream could become a reality in Mistletoe.
Jackie, right?
Do you ski?
I love to ski.
Takes one to snow one.
[LAUGHS] Powder to the people.
Oh, wow. Can you help me?
Where is the closest hill to here?
An hour away.
Not anymore.
[SCOFFS]
[SIGHS] It is hard that your rec center is closing.
But you have to ask yourself,
do you want this place to just sit here empty,
unloved, unappreciated.
And the worst case scenario,
a big box store comes in and just [SCOFFS]
makes themselves at home
right here in your little town.
So you can have that or this in your backyard.
Skyridge.
No way are they bulldozing our beautiful center
for those fake cobblestone walkways and paint-by-numbers hotels.
We might not have a choice.
Not in this town. Not at Christmas.
I'll stop him. One way or another.
[UPBEAT HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING]
I don't know, maybe the dentist on Main Street
would rent us the back half of his building?
Isn't coffee not great for teeth?
Oh... mutually beneficial business then?
Which reminds me. Tonight, bottle of wine?
Finally some free time?
Hey... Oh, shoot.
I forgot I volunteered for the library toy drive tonight.Tomorrow then.
Oh, no, wait, no, wait, we can't. That's trivia night.
Hmm.
When did our lives get so crazy?
[SIGHS] Pretty much the second
we decided to start trying for a baby. [CHUCKLES]Mm.
Good morning.
Three extra shots of espresso
in my gingerbread latte, please.
Also, a blueberry scone.
You stopped ordering the ones with the gross lemon zest in them, right?
Yes, after your fifth rant, I switched up my order.
Good. I need sugar and caffeine. I was up all night.
Then why do you look so upbeat?
I figured it out.
How we save the rec center.
I was up studying the town's budgets.
Technically, we only need $80,000
to keep this place open for another year.
That buys us time to find a more permanent solution.
Only? That is a lot of money.
So we raise the money.
Well, they're voting on it December 23rd.
That's, like, in two weeks.
I know it seems impossible, but if I can figure out a way
for people to donate the money
then the town won't have to sell the land
to that awful resort guy.
Oh, I hate that guy.
[SIGHS] What are you doing here?
Grabbing myself a cup of coffee on my way to class.
Black, no room, please.
Oh, you sure you don't wanna try
one of our gingerbread lattes? They're really good.
[INHALES SHARPLY] Sounds a little too...
Christmassy?
Sugary. But... but, yeah, that, too.
What do you mean "picking up a coffee before class"?
Well, my "fitness instructor"
said that I should stick to group lessons, so...
I also hear that Darlene might be there
and I may need her vote.
Oh. Well, you'll be "wasting your breath."
She knows what a resort like yours
can do to a town like ours.
Improve it? [CLEARS THROAT]
Ruin it.[PHONE DINGS]
Oh, look at the time. I should probably get going.
Don't wanna be late, get on my teacher's bad side.
Thank you. [WHISPERS] Delicious.
Jimmy? Lise? For the Gram?
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
GRIFFIN: Thanks so much.
I can't stand that guy.
I don't know, seems kinda cool.
I really like the scarf that he's got...
Oh, yeah, no, I get it. We don't like that guy.
No, Jim.
You forgot your scone!
Mount Mistletoe has perfect untapped terrain
for prime skiing. Look it.
Yeah.Yeah.
Not much of a skier.Oh.
I, on the other hand, love to shred.
Is that right?Yeah.
Snowboarding. You look like you shred.
So here's what you're gonna like.
Right there is a terrain park on the bottom.
Hey, oh, Carl, didn't you break your arm
three times snowboarding?
Well, it was four, but it was totally worth it.
Oh, that is the spirit.
Nothing is gonna keep you down, is it?
Black diamond for you. And come to think...
And I think it's time we start warming up for class.
Okay, everybody, let's get going.
The black diamond, is there a lot of trees going down?
Yeah, but they're spaced out and it's fluffy snow.
And a hot tub.AUDREY: Hey, everybody.
So, as you can see,
Mr. Resort has decided to join us for class today.
[CLEARS THROAT]Most people call me Griffin. Hi, everybody.
Thank you for the introduction.
I can't wait to dance
in the Christmas capital of the world.
Oh, you're a big fan of Christmas, huh?
The biggest.
Oh, tell me, what's your favorite part about Christmas?
Well, it's... I'd have to go with the joy that it brings.
[LAUGHS] That's a little vague. Can you be more specific?
Uh, yeah, sure.
Music. How about... The music.
AUDREY: The music?GRIFFIN: Yeah.
Oh, well what's your favorite Christmas carol?
Ooh, I have to pick just one?
I'd say, The Twelve Days Of Christmas.
Oh, I love that one, too.
Oh, remind me, what did they bring on the second day?
Oh, that's, um...
Turtles.
[CLASS LAUGHS]
Turtles?Yeah. Turtles... No?
[SOFTLY] Doves, doves.Swans.
Swans?
Turtle... turtle swans.Turtle swans?
Yeah.Okay, everybody, let's pick up the pace.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[GRIFFIN AND DARLENE LAUGHING]
You're kidding.
So you melt the butter first?
Yes. That's what gives it the texture.
No. I had no idea.
[LAUGHS] You're really this interested in baking?
Well, mostly the eating, but you gotta start somewhere.
[CHUCKLES]Mm-hmm.
[CELL PHONE RINGING]Oh, excuse me.
I gotta take this. We will talk baking later.
[CHUCKLES] Anytime.
Okay. Bye, Darlene. Ciao.
Hello?
IVAN: So, talk to me, Griffin.
When can we expect to break ground?
Soon. Very soon.
That's not very specific. Should I be worried?
When have I ever let you down, Dad?
Town council votes on the 23rd December.
That still gives us a couple weeks
to make sure they don't choose to do
anything else with the property.
Expect any opposition?
Nothing I can't handle.
That's my boy, chip off the old block.
Keep me updated, will you?
Okay. Well, talk to you soon.
If you follow Main Street all the way to its end,
you'll find the beating heart of our community.
Originally built as the town founder's home,
it was converted into a recreation center in 1954.
Is this... is this your audition tape
for the History Channel?
We're encouraging people to donate to save the center.
Wait, you're straight up just asking people for money in a video?
Do you need something?No, sorry.
Don't mind me, I'm just, uh, grabbing some photos,
so our marketing team can hit the ground running.
You have a little something there.
Thank you.Just ignore him and keep going.
Okay.Okay.
Not only can you find an array of classes
like foreign languages, ceramics, painting,
but also an art gallery,
and of course, my favorite, a dance and fitness studio.
Wait, Lisa, do you think that I should talk about
the donate page before I mention everything that we offer?
Yeah, probably.
Otherwise, it just looks like you're making a fan video for a building, and that's...
Wait, why are you doing this video here and not the rec center?
Because...We're gonna edit that in with Audrey talking.
Mm.
Okay, let's go again.Yeah.
This time, say the donate now page at the top.
AUDREY: Okay. Okay.Yeah.
Wait a sec, did you say "donate now"? No, no, no, no.
They give the money back if you don't hit your goal.
We're meeting our goal.
Okay. How's your frame?
[INHALES SHARPLY]
You wanna make sure you get the whole shot in
so that way that we can really emphasize the ski resort,
and people can see the full potential of it, yeah.
[SPUTTERS] Lisa, I'm done.
We're moving inside the rec center.
Let's go.
Don't stay up too late, sweetheart.
You know the old saying.
A watched donation site never boils
or, you know, something like that.
I have to figure out a way to reach more people if this is gonna work.
Everything I've read online says that
the first two hours after a post goes up are the most important.
But at this rate
it's gonna take me a decade to save the center.
Well, it's a lot of money to be raised in a short time.
[SIGHS] Maybe I'm fooling myself.
If I couldn't save my gym, how can I save the center?
It's just everything I thought my life would be by now
hasn't happened.
I thought I at least could do this.
Well, you know what your mom would say.
She'd say if everything's not going exactly the way you want it to,
there's usually something better around the corner.
Good night. [CHUCKLES]
You picked the perfect tree.
And don't forget,
sign up on the donation page
to help save the rec center.
[RINGING]
Bradley. Hi.
Are you ready for some amazing news?
I think so?
I just had a meeting with Susan Price.
The head of New York Solis Fitness Clubs?
Yes. She took one of our classes
back in the day if you remember,
when we first opened, and, she liked what she saw.
Audrey, she wants to hire the both of us
to teach at her Solis Fitness Club in Soho.
You're kidding.
No. She loves our energy.
We'd fit right into their structure.
She even wants us to start in the new year.
Can you believe it?
You and I working for one of the biggest fitness empires
in the world.
That's amazing.
We wouldn't have much freedom with what we taught.
Um, yeah, you're right.
But the truth is, you know, boutique fitness clubs
are not exactly thriving right now
and we had to learn that the hard way.
So this... this is our shot at getting back on top
and making it in New York, together.
Can I think about it?
Absolutely. Yeah.
Maybe we should let her know soon, though, right?
Totally.
Uh, I have to go. Can I call you later?
Audrey. Maybe...
maybe this is the reset we both need.
[UPBEAT HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING]
DARLENE: Need a hand?
Uh, no. Thanks, Darlene. I got it, I got it.
Oh, okay.
Okay. Carl's best candy cane martinis, woo-hoo!
Sorry we're late.
Oh, no worries at all.
Oh, we wish that was why, and we were going to,
but, uh... well, Jim.
Uh, I may or may not have set off the smoke alarm
trying to surprise Lisa with a romantic dinner.Oh... [CHUCKLES]
The point is, we're gonna need some food.
Food. I'll get us some cheese fries.
JIM: Thank you.
Oh!Oh! [COUGHS]
Wow. It's a really good thing that wasn't hot cider.
You've got to be kidding me.
You're here for Mistletoe trivia night?
Yeah, I'm on Fred and Margot's team.
Maureen. Fred and Maureen.You sure?
You realize this is trivia about the town of Mistletoe?
Something you know nothing about.
Yeah.Nothing!
Yeah. That's why I'm on the best team.
It's a strategy. Are you worried?
You know I think you'll probably do okay.
You're from here.
You have an open tab, though, right?
Hey, Carl? Can we get another one of these on her tab?
Thank you. It's almost gone.
I'm thirsty.
Oh... Do you have a shirt? Do you have another...
Please. There you go.
Thanks C-Town. [EXHALES]
Can you believe him?
[EXHALES]
So, I guess no cheese fries then.
EDGAR: Who's ready to use their brains?
[CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]Yeah!
Welcome, everyone,
welcome to Mistletoe's monthly trivia night.
Whoo!
[ALL CHEERING]
Please write your answers legibly.
We don't want another Santa Fanta debacle.
[ALL LAUGH AND APPLAUD]
Here we go.
What year did the town of Mistletoe
eliminate the sales tax on Christmas trees?
[INDISTINCT WHISPERING]
[BELL RINGING]
1931 is the correct answer.
[GROANS][CHEERING]
EDGAR: Okay, folks, here we go.
We're coming down to it, next question.
Phoradendron is the most common species of mistletoe.
Name two of the other 1,300 species.[LAUGHING]
Okay, okay.
You know he's trying to get them to vote for the resort.
Okay, I know dwarf is one kind but what's another kind?Yeah.
[ALL LAUGHING]
What could they possibly be laughing about?Audrey? Audrey? Audrey?
Oh. Uh, uh, uh, uh... desert.
[BELL RINGING]
Let's see 'em.
When did they even have time to write all those?
We cannot let him win!
[JAZZY CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING]
And so it looks like it's coming down to...
We Noel It All...
[ALL CHEERING]Yes! Yes!
EDGAR: And Too Cool For Yule.
[ALL CHEERING]Yeah! Come on! Come on!
And it is coming down to the final question,
which is...
What tradition... oh, and this was started by my wife, uh, Hailey Parker, by the way.
Thank you, Hailey.
What tradition used to be incorporated
into the school Christmas recital every year?
[EXCLAIMS]
No way they know this, Fred and Maureen don't have kids!
[BELL RINGING]
Kickline wins it!
[CHEERING]Yes! Yes! Yes!
We Noel It All are the winners!
We won! We won! We won! We won!
[LAUGHING]
[GASPS] That's it!What's it?
That's how we save the center! A town-wide kickline.
We could get people to sign up and pledge per kick.
Imagine, a huge kickline going down Main Street.
[GASPS] It'll be so visually stunning no one could ignore it.
I love it.
Count me in.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Sign up for the Kickline Kick-a-thon right here!
Come and get it!
Thank you. See you there.
Oh, kickline... like the Rockettes?
Yes. And all the money we raise will be going to save the rec center.
I'm so in.
I've been taking ceramic classes there since I was four.
Aw, well, here. Invite your friends.
Get them to sign up, too.Definitely.
Bye.
[PLAYFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi. Kickline Kick-a-thon.
[DOOR BELLS CHIME]
Now remember, baking is both, an art and a science.
Hello.Huh.
Hey, Audrey. You're just in time.
Oh.GRIFFIN: We're making some, uh, Christmas rolls
which apparently are just cinnamon rolls
with red and green food coloring on them.
Right?And a dash of peppermint.
Griffin bakes.Yep. [CLEARS THROAT]
Well, he was sweet enough to offer to help
since tomorrow's Mistletoe Christmas Market
usually involves a large order.
How sweet of him.
I'm sure there's no hidden motive whatsoever.
My vote? Trust me, I am well-aware.
But he volunteered
and I need as much help as I can get.
Oh, well, I'll help, too, then.
Uh, not that much help. I think we've probably got it.
I'm here. Might as well.
DARLENE: Okay, sure.
I'll just grab an apron.Oh, got one!
Great. [CHUCKLES]DARLENE: Here.
Now this recipe was handed down to me by my mother.
AUDREY: Aw.
Oh, so she was a baker, too?
Oh, yes, just not professionally.
Although, neither was I until 10 years ago.
You're kidding me. I would've thought you'd been doing this your whole life.
I used to be a lawyer.
Really?Mm-hmm.
Oh, shoot. I'm gonna get some more flour.
Okay. Thanks, Darlene.
You're not gonna get her vote
so you can stop whatever... this is.
Well, think of all the resort guests
who get to enjoy Darlene's delights.
Oh, so you're telling me that your resort
wouldn't have a bunch of chain restaurants
that everyone would go to instead?
People deserve to have options, Audrey.
Tell that to all the local businesses
that are at the Mistletoe Marketplace.
Right. What's that again?[SIGHS]
The small fair at the rec center where the local businesses
come to promote their Christmastime items.
That could be really informative.
Oh, no.I'm coming.
No, no, no, no, no. You're not invited.
I'm coming.No!
I'll be there.No!
Ah, this... [SIGHS]
Okay. This is way too painful.
Well, I don't know, it's like, broken.
Let me show you how you do it. Ugh, gosh.
Go in these... in the lines.
What?
You have something on your nose.
Flour.
Oh.So do you.
Well look, now we, um...
At least we have something in common.
[BOTH LAUGH]
[HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
I've got some good news for you.
GRIFFIN: Oh?
Peter is retiring.
Really? Yeah.
Something about wanting to spend more time
with his family or something
so I told the board I had the perfect replacement.
[LAUGHS] What?
Me?
Of course, you're my son. This is your legacy.
You land that Montana resort
and you'll be the next chief operating officer
of Skyridge Resorts.
Um...
Right.
Do I sense some hesitation?
No. I mean, recently, there's been a little bit of pushback
from the community, but...
nothing I can't handle. It's nothing to worry about.
I should hope not. The next COO of Skyridge
can handle a few disgruntled townies.[CELL PHONE RINGING]
[LAUGHS] That's right.
I gotta jump on this call. Talk later?
All right, thanks, Dad.
Oh, hey...
Looking good, sweetheart.Thanks, Dad.
Morning.
No.
No, no, no, no, no! What are you doing?
I'm setting up my booth.
Spoke to the council, turns out all you gotta do is pay a fee
and then anyone can set one of these things up.
And look at this. They chose to put us right next to each other.
Why do you need a booth?
Well, so people can learn some information
about Skyridge Resorts.
Look, then the community
can get to know us a little better. What do you think of this?
[LAUGHS] Look at that!
The Mistletoe Christmas Market
is to promote businesses in Mistletoe.
You're not a business in Mistletoe!
Right, I know. Not yet.
Is it too big? I think it's a little too big.
[GROANS IN FRUSTRATION]
[LAUGHS]
Kickline Fundraiser!
A few kicks each and we save the rec center!
[PLAYFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Jim.Yeah?
Will you watch my booth for a second?
Sure. Why?
AUDREY: Somebody's gotta stop him.
Okay.[CLEARS THROAT]
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
Hey.
Griffin. Hi.
Talk later. Audrey. Hi.
Brochure?Oh, no.
Um, actually, I wanted to see
if you wanted to grab a cup of coffee.
Black, no sugar. Just how you like it.
[LAUGHS] Yeah. You're kidding.
No, come on. Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I know what you're doing.
You don't wanna get coffee with me.
You want me to leave this little Christmas market, don't you?
And I know what you're up to.
You're trying to razzle-dazzle this town
into thinking what you want instead of what we want.
You mean what you want. "Razzle-dazzle."
All right. Enlighten me.
Fine.
Look. This booth over here with the snow-globes,
it's our bookshop.
They do weekly story-time for kids.
[CHUCKLES]
And you know Carl from class.
GRIFFIN: Hello, Carl.[AUDREY CHUCKLES]
He's the fourth Carl in his family to own this tavern.
Any boy born in our family gets the name.
And some girls, too.
Carla. Carlita.
And this is Abe's Auto Shop.
He can fix anything, not just cars.
Wow. This is great.
All this information for little conversation starters
when I wanna promote the resort.
Thank you. Thank you for that.
No.
I'm trying to tell you that each of these establishments
are run by people.
Unique individuals that your corporate resort would hurt.
You mean help, right?
This town cannot afford
to even keep the recreation center open.
Yet you have this beautiful location
that would just attract tons and tons of people
and it would boost the economy.
I saw the list of amenities your resort has.
Restaurants. There goes Carl's Tavern.
Shopping. Goodbye Main Street boutiques.
And it's a domino effect.
One corporate resort comes to town
and the rest are sure to follow.
What is it that you have against big companies?
Nothing.
They just don't belong here.
Can you honestly tell me that none of these people
would lose their businesses because of your resort?
Oh, Audrey, have you met my grandson Elvis?
Hi. Hi, Elvis, you're adorable.
Do you want one?
He got it.[ALL CHUCKLE]
MAN: Mistletoe Toss is open.
Dare I ask what a Mistletoe Toss is?
It's exactly what it sounds like.
What color do you want?No, I'm good.
I don't wanna throw a parasitic plant at a peppermint...
Griffin.Yep.
Mistletoe tradition.Mm.
You must try.
Come on, it's fun.Okay.
Go, Team Audrey.Thanks, Dad.
[SNICKERS]
What, you scared?
Scared?
Well, you said you worked out
and then my class kicked your butt,
so I'm guessing that you're a little nervous
to lose at the Mistletoe Toss in front of all these people.
Okay, fine. I'll play you. Let's go.
Are you sure? I'm practically pro.
What, at this?
How about this? If I win...Yeah.
You take down your resort propaganda routine.
[SCOFFS]
Okay. Okay.
And if I win, which I will, then,
hmm, what am I gonna do? Oh!
I am not giving up the kickline.
You have to have dinner with me.
What? Why?
I think maybe we got off on the wrong foot.
We could have a productive conversation
and I could share with you all the merit
of the Skyridge Resort.
You're not gonna change my mind.
But since I know I'm gonna win,
okay, sure,
let's do it.
Ladies first.
Oh, I thought you said you were pro.
[CLEARS THROAT] Warming up, Griffin.All right.
[LAUGHS]
Okay, maybe I'm just warming up, too.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Let's see what you got.Mm-hmm.
Yes!
Okay, that's luck. That is luck.
Skill. Skill, skill, skill.That is luck.
All right, here we go. This is...
Oh!
Now that was luck.No, that was skill.
All right, what you got.[CLEARS THROAT]
[LAUGHS]
Might as well start taking your booth down now.
How about you get ready to choose what you want for dinner
'cause this is going right on. Look at that.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What've you got?
[INHALES SHARPLY] Ooh!
[LAUGHS][HUFFS]
I am so sorry but if I make this
I win the entire thing, the Mistletoe Toss?
You won't.Okay.
Oh, yeah![SIGHS]
Game, set and match.That was a fluke.
I thought you were a pro?
Just a question. Do you like Italian?
Because Carl's Tavern has a really nice Bolognese.
Yeah, I don't eat meat anymore.
No? [CHUCKLES][HUFFS]
A date?
It's not a date, it's dinner.
Alone, together.
I'm sure I could get out of it.
Why?
It could be fun, and you and Bradley are on a break.
But he's the enemy.
Pretty cute enemy.
Trust me, it's the last thing
I have to think about right now.
LISA: Hmm.
What do you have to think about right now?
The Solis job? Bradley?
Right now, it's the kickline. We have a lot of sign-ups,
we just need a lot more kick pledges.
You should definitely take it online.
I would love a blueberry scone,
as long as there's no lemon zest in it,
'cause that is disgusting.
See, Lisa? I'm not the only one.
Right? Totally overpowers the simplicity of the scone.
I've been saying that for years.
She really has.
What do you mean take it online?
The kickline is already connected to a "Donate Now" page.
Well, since you're asking, Mistletoe is only so big, right?
Mm.
So, if you livestream the event,
then you reach a larger audience
and interest in this thing just goes up and up and up.
And if you open it up,
then people everywhere can donate
to your little line kicky thing.
Kickline.
That... yeah, that.
GRIFFIN: Ooh!
[CELL PHONE CHIMES]There we go. See ya tonight.
See ya tonight... Tonight?
Wait! We never decided on a day for dinner.
Tonight!
See? He's never doing something
out of the kindness of his own heart.
Helping Darlene bake, taking me to dinner,
there's always a hidden motive.
Still, he did inspire a pretty good idea.[SIGHS] Meh...
And until two seconds ago I thought you were
the only person who hated lemon zest in their scones.
Everyone hates lemon zest in their scones.
It's like fruitcake. Everybody hates fruitcake.
Okay, so, the first link is for everyone anywhere to watch the kickline.
And then this link is connected to the donate page
so people can pledge per kick.
Crazy.
Bradley did all this tech stuff for the gym in New York,
but today, I figured out I can do it too.
I like seeing you so determined.
Thanks, Dad.
It feels good to be hopeful again.Yeah.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
You expecting anybody?
Tell him I'm not home.
[LAUGHS]
[DOOR OPENS]
[DOOR CLOSES]
Yeah, she's... Oh, she's not here.
A poinsettia? Funny.
Pretty sure it's "poinsett-ia."
And I was... I'm going more for sweet,
but funny, I'll... I'll take funny from you.
I know what you're doing. You're trying to be all charming and sweet.
So you do think I'm charming and sweet.
[SCOFFS] You want my dad's vote.
You've got Fred and Maureen in the bag.
Jackie is a wild card.
Jim still believes there's a better solution.
And Darlene, hmm, you just don't know.
So you're trying to secure me to get all of them.
Wow. That is an exhausting way
to look at somebody who just wants to invite you to dinner.
Am I wrong?
[LAUGHS]
Listen. My objective is this, to better this town.
My objective tonight is to have dinner.
Preferably with you right next to me
and prove to you that I'm not some evil corporate mustache twirler.
Right?
She would love to go.
Dad.
It's dinner. It's not eternity.
Good luck.
It's just dinner.
So why fitness?Why fitness?
Thanks, Carl.CARL: Enjoy.
GRIFFIN: Thanks, Carl.
My mom.
She taught me that it is a privilege to move your body
and we shouldn't take it for granted.
I've never... I've never thought of it quite like that.
I just love inspiring people to want to work out.
Is that why you moved to New York,
to spread the gospel of enjoying workouts?
My mom was originally from New York
so it was always my dream to go there, too.
You know, if you can make it there, you can...
Yeah. So can I... Can I ask,
what happened in New York exactly?
Well, Bradley, uh, my business partner and I,
we thought that a neighborhood gym could thrive.
You know, something small and boutique.
We put all our money into it
and, you know, and then we just couldn't compete
with the big chains and it fell apart and...
we fell apart.
Everything fell apart.
So, I take it, Bradley, then is...
is a little bit more than a business partner.
Boyfriend. Well, not currently.
We're on a break.
Okay. Well,
that explains why you have a grudge
against large companies then,
because they ran you out of business, right?
I don't have a grudge.Oh.
Solis Fitness Center has offered us jobs in the new year
and I'm seriously considering accepting.
So you're considering
working for a large corporation, right?
Yet you're actively trying to stop me,
a large corporation.No, not at all the same thing.
Oh, please explain.
[SIGHS] I'm not trying to stop you.
[SIGHS]
Okay, I am. [LAUGHS]
I am. I'm trying to stop you.
But it's because I'm trying to save the rec center.
You just happen to be the person
that wants to tear it all down.
Otherwise we'd be friends, though, right?
Mm, I don't know if I'd go that far.
[LAUGHS]
I can't be friends with somebody who says poinsett-ia.
[LAUGHS]It's poinsettia.
Really? You can't name five?
I don't think I could actually name one.
Oh! You know what? My friend...Okay.
...had a cat. No, goldfish.Good.
Girl... Victoria. No, Victor. Victor.
No! Victor?Yeah.
Oh, my God. Vixen!Oh, close enough.
Vixen. Oh, this is real.
What's... What's real?The whole...
The whole Christmas is all about making money,
the Scrooge routine.
I hate to break it to you but them are the facts.
Yes, but you're missing the point.
What's the point?
The reason for it all.
Christmas is... it's about a feeling.
It's... it's something that you can't put into words.
My... my mom was really into Christmas.
Like, we're talking Mistletoe level.
Yeah. I think if she was still around,
you know, maybe things would be different.
I'd look at Christmas a bit differently.
[SIGHS]
Maybe that's why my dad
doesn't wanna celebrate with me,
is 'cause it's too hard for him.
What does your dad do?
Um, he's in real estate.
He, uh... he owns Skyridge Resorts.
Your dad owns Skyridge?Mm-hmm.
Skyridge is a family business?
Yep. Sure is.
It's sort of like Carl's Tavern,
you know, we'll just fit right in.Oh, just like Carl's Tavern.
Carl's Tavern is not trying to take over the world.
Neither are we.
I mean, I do have a shot at COO
if I make this deal come together.
You know, it'd also make my dad really happy, so...
Well, what about you, would that make you happy?
Why wouldn't it?
Well, you know, when you were little...
what did you dream about?
Is COO your New York?
Um...
No. It was just my assumed... path for me.
Paths can change.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I don't know who that is.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Bradley!
Surprise.Hi.
I saw your post this morning
and I just wanted to come and help the kickline.
So I took about three different flights but I made it. [CHUCKLES]
Ah, hi.
AUDREY: Oh, come in.
The place looks absolutely great.
Bradley, Griffin. Griffin, Bradley.
Pleasure.
Hey.Hi.
What's with the giant poinsettia?
Oh, it's a long story.
Okay.GRIFFIN: Actually, you know, I'll tell it.
It's "poinsett-ia."
I was, uh... I bumped into Audrey and she kinda dumped...
she kinda dumped it on me.
[BOTH LAUGH]
[CLEARS THROAT]
You did what now?[SPUTTERS]
Don't worry about it.Okay.
[AUDREY LAUGHS WEAKLY]
[CLEARS THROAT]
I should probably go. All right, I'm gonna go. Okay.
Good to meet you.You, too.
Thanks for the cookies.
Who was that guy?
[PEACEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Bradley's here?
I thought you guys broke up because he wouldn't propose.
No. We're on a break.
Oh. Uh, is that different or...
Apparently, he saw my post about the kickline
and said he wanted to be a part of it.
He said he knew it was important to me.
Well that's kinda sweet, right?
Very. But I don't know. It's nice to have the help.
It's just, it felt good doing something on my own.
Jim, what's with the scarf?
Hmm?
JIM: The... Oh, the...
Griff wears a scarf, so...
[SIGHS]
I guess Griff's making an impression on everybody.
Oh, my God, that reminds me.
How was the date?
It wasn't a date. It was dinner.
And?
And, all things considered, if I had to say...
one way or the other at the end of the night...
It was nice.
[MUFFLED SQUEAL]
But nothing changes the fact that he wants
to rip this place apart and build a mega super-resort.
Oh, Jim, don't give me that look.
LISA: Told you so.It means nothing!
[HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING]
BRADLEY: Thank you.Oh!
Oh, shoot. Oh, shoot.I'm so sorry.
It's me. You know, I wasn't looking.
GRIFFIN: No, no. I was looking down at my papers.
[BOTH SPEAK INDISTINCTLY]Here's your card.
Yes. Thank you.
Oh. Okay. You.You.
Grant, right?
No, uh, close. It's, uh, Griffin.
[CLEARS THROAT]Griffin.
Barry?
Close, actually. It's Bradley.
Bradley, that's right.Right.
Yeah.
So...So... so.
You are here to destroy Audrey's rec center.
I wouldn't word it that way at all, actually.No?
No, I'm here to turn this land into something useful
that'll benefit Mistletoe for years to come.
So, gotta go.Sure.
Before... Before you go...Okay.
Just one... one little thing.
Audrey's mom taught there before she died.
You know, that's why the place means so much to her.
Yep. I... I know. I know.
The place means a lot, I got it.
And Audrey means a lot to me.
Good. Okay, I'm gonna go. I should probably go.Yeah.
Don't wanna be late for, uh... For class.Sure.
Class. Audrey's class?Yeah.
What do you know, I'm headed there, too.
No way.Yeah. Amazing.
That is great.I know.
Okay, well, after you.
No, please, I insist. After you.
No, no, no.No, no, age before beauty.
[BOTH LAUGH]
All right, there you go.Great.
No. Actually, you know what? No.
Oh, come on!No.
[UPBEAT CHRISTMAS MUSIC PLAYING]
Left side!
Out and in!
Right hip!
Step touch!
AUDREY: Box step!
One more time!
AUDREY: Step touch!
Box step!
And ready, finish!
AUDREY: Whoo!
Okay. Great job, everybody.
Thank you, thank you!
[CHEERFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[CLEARS THROAT]
This is different than New York.
You have to order the cheese fries.
I can't, I'm trying to do this clean eating week.
You know how it is.Clean eating? It's Christmas.
Christmas calories don't count.
Right.Uh-huh.
Hmm.I've missed you.
I still can't believe you're here.
A kickline sounded fun
and I already have some pledges from some followers.
What?
Thank you, that's awesome.
So, have you given it any more thought?
I'll call Solis right now and tell them we're in.
I haven't decided anything just yet.
Audrey, we...we need to give them an answer.
It's not a package deal.
You could take the job without me.
Maybe I don't wanna do it without you.
It's just that they want me to teach their classes their way.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, you... you remember what you first said to me
when we met at that fitness conference four years ago?
The greatest gift we have as fitness instructors
is to inspire as many people as possible.
This is how you do that.
I can't believe you remember that.
So, there's no one here. Let's say we close early?
It's like you read my mind.Mm-hmm.
Oh, good, you're still open. Hey.
Uh-huh.
Whew.The usual?
No. Actually, I wanna go on a little bit of an adventure.
Gotta work tonight, so how about you whip me up
one of those gingerbread lattes
that Audrey's just been going on and on about?
I'd love to.JIM: Yeah. Hmm.
Christmas spirit finally rubbing off on you.
Yeah. [LAUGHS] Something like that.
So you know, the vote, uh,
for the city council's just in a few days.
Any idea, Jim, which way you're leaning?
Uh, look, I like you, Griff.
Do you mind if I call you Griff?
Griff? [LAUGHS] No one ever has, but sure.
Oh, that's surprising. Seems natural.
Anyway, uh, as of right now
there is nowhere else in Mistletoe for the Coffee Co.
Now, I've gotta wait and see if we can save it.
I mean, you understand, right?
I understand.[MIMICS EXPLOSION]
You know, maybe there's a way
for the coffee shop to be at my resort.
But I thought the Skyridge Resorts had a direct deal
with the, uh, Buckstar coffee chain.
They do, but it doesn't have to stay that way.
Mm. Wow, that tastes like
liquid fruitcake, but not gross.
Don't tell Audrey but she's right.
I'll tell her.
Yeah. Hey, Jimbo, love the scarf on you.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
No.
Loves it.Yeah.
[PEACEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Hi. Sorry, guys. Hey!
Hi.
I thought we could use this instead.
It's a much better lens.
Oh, my gosh, thank you so much.
You're welcome.So nice of you.
I'll take this. Whoa, wow.Whoa.
[LAUGHS]
Are you hoping someone in particular comes?
What?
You and that Griffin guy.
Is there something going on between you two?
Bradley, I barely know the guy.
And he's trying to take away the thing
that means the most to me in this world.
What do you think?
Okay.
Today is about this.
What about tomorrow?
What?
Well, what if tomorrow was about us?
A second first date.
I'd like that. Yeah.
Great.Okay.
I'll, uh... I'll go help with more cameras.
Thank you.
[PLAYING LIGHT MUSIC]
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Yeah. Dad, hey, thanks for calling me back.
I just wanna float something by you.
Shoot.
Okay. One of the things that makes Mistletoe so great
is the community of small businesses, right?
They're all unique and some of them are even legacy.
Okay.
One of the things we're getting a little bit of pushback on
is some of the things we're offering are in conflict
and they're... they're worried
that they'll strain some of the local businesses.
Ah, that's par for the course. Places usually learn to adapt.
Okay. What if we tailored the Skyridge Mistletoe Resort
just a little bit differently?
You know, not so much the cookie-cutter approach.
Ugh. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's business 101.
Be honest son, are you worried you won't get the votes?
No. No, no, no.
I'll get... I'll get the votes, it's...[SIGHS]
All right, just... Just forget I called. All right?
Thanks, Dad.
Okay, T-minus two minutes! Places, everyone!
[CLEARS THROAT] Room for one more?
This is the last place I thought you would be.
Well, I mean, you know how good I've gotten at dancing.
You think I'd miss an opportunity
to kick my legs up in the air over and over again?
No way, Jose.
To save the very thing you wanna take.
Well, it's great publicity, right?
Sure. Or was it possibly the gingerbread latte you had last night?
Maybe.Mm-hmm.
[LAUGHS]
I'm glad you're here. Come on, get in line.
All right. Let's line kick.Go.
[TAPPING MICROPHONE] Is this thing on?
Okay, thank you so much.
First and foremost, I just wanna say thank you again
for coming to the Mistletoe Kickline Fundraiser!
[ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
Thanks to all of you, we are about to break the record
for the longest Christmas kickline
and save the rec center while we're at it.
Whoo!
Okay, so, I'm gonna start the music.
That way you can hear the beat and then I'll kick you in.
Okay.
Are we ready?
Five, six, seven, eight!
Step, kick! Step, kick!
Whoo!
Step kick! Step left!
Step right! Step left!
Whoo! Keep going!
Keep up, everybody!
AUDREY: Whoo!
That's right, Mistletoe!
Keep going! Almost there!
Here we go! Last four.
Three, two, one and pose!
[ALL CHEERING]
AUDREY: Good job, ladies and gentlemen! We did it!
The longest Christmas kickline in Mistletoe history!
Whoo!
That was incredible.
Oh, my God, thank you.
You did it! That was amazing.[CHEERS]
Yeah! Thank you. My gosh, that was so crazy!
Bradley, Bradley...
Jim needs your help ending the feed.
I'm worried people are gonna be seeing him stretch.
Ooh, on it.
[LAUGHS]
I would call that a success. Seriously,
pledges were coming in left and right.
I have a really, really good feeling about this.
Yeah?
Uh-oh.What?
You like Griffin.
No. Come on.
The endorphins got you all mixed up.
Oh.
Bradley's right there.
Oh.
Seriously.
Nothing's going on, nothing.
Stop it.
LISA: Look at Jim!
AUDREY: Jimbo, what is he doing?
Darlene, CBS Morningshas mentioned the kickline.
The video went viral. Look how many views it has.
And donations are still pouring in,
we only need 20 grand more.
Look at me go.
[LAUGHS]
This is wonderful, Audrey. Well done.
Round of gingerbread lattes on the house.
Yes! Whoo!Whoo!
Whoa, whoa. What are we celebrating?
Well, not to brag, but numbers are looking good.
Really? Okay.
Let me see this. Look at the comments, too.
Let me see.
"That looks like fun. I'd like to try that.
"I hear she's a fitness instructor.
"I'd take her class."
Look at that. Wow.
This is really good, good publicity for you, too.
You getting nervous about the vote tomorrow?
No. Look it, you still got a ways to go. [LAUGHS]
Hey, people are still donating. And it's Christmas!
This is the time for miracles.
I have never met anybody who sees the world the way you do.
No matter what happens here,
I hope you realize just how truly amazing you are.
Gingerbread lattes for everybody!
Oh, wow. Oh, yay. Okay. Whoo.Oh, me, too? Wow.
Cheers. [HUMS]Cheers.
Griffin.Cheers.
Cheers.Thanks.
[PEACEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, well, look at you.
What are you all dressed up for?
Bradley's taking me on a second first date.
Oh, so the break is over?
I'm not sure yet.Huh.
[SIGHS]
Dad, I know that look.
Uh, hey, no judgment.
Um, I just want you to be with someone
who inspires you, and, you know, sees you.
Funny. That's what I want for you, too.
Darlene, Dad.
She clearly likes you.
She's kind, beautiful...
You seem to avoid her at every chance you get.
What's going on? Do you not like her?
I do like her.
So ask her out.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
[SIGHS]
You know, your mother was the love of my life.
Twenty-five wonderful years.
Losing her was the most painful thing
I have ever experienced
and quite frankly, I'm not sure I can handle that again.
Dad, I would hate it if you missed out on love
because you were scared.
You're the bravest man I know.
Ah.
You deserve to be happy.
Don't worry about me, please.
Mom would want you to be happy.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
That's Bradley.
You deserve to be happy, too.
That was delicious.Yeah.
I wish I could've taken you
somewhere nicer for dinner, but...
Carl's Tavern is nice.
[LAUGHS]
Well, soon we'll have all our restaurant options
back at our fingertips, right?
Remember that sustainable sushi restaurant?
That just opened right across the street from Solis.
Oh, spicy tuna...
Bradley.
What if I didn't take the job at Solis?
And do what instead, freelance?
Stayed here.
I really think I'm gonna save the center
and these last few weeks teaching here,
just feels right.
Stay in Mistletoe permanently,
I... I thought you wanted more than this?
I haven't decided yet, I...
Just being back with my dad and friends,
I forgot how much I love it.
Audrey, you're meant for bigger things than Mistletoe.
I know it, you know it.
Just come back to New York with me.
I, uh...
I should've done this a long time ago.
[GASPS]
I love you, Audrey Parker.
[AUDREY GASPS]
I know. It's a lot to spring on you
and I don't want you to feel pressured to answer right now.
Just... just hold on to it, okay?
Hmm. Wow. [SIGHS]
It's, um... Wow.
I know.What did you say?
Nothing yet.
What are you going to say?
I don't know. A part of me wants to say yes.
It's what we always planned.
I know Bradley. I know what being with him is.
With this job, things could be really solid.
Solid. Not the most romantic word in the world.
You just have to figure out
what it is that you want in your life.
Is it to marry Bradley and work for Solis?
Or is it something else?
Solis could put me on the map. Relaunch my career.
Bradley and I could be great together.
But...
I just feel like there's this force or part of me
that's pulling in the complete opposite direction.
Does that direction start with a "G" and end with a "riffin"?
Any more donations come in?
Still short, and the vote is in a few hours.
We could all vote no and buy us more time.
Maybe.
The last I checked,
Jackie still hasn't made up her mind yet.
Good.
Maybe we can find some loans or state subsidies or something.
This can't be it.
I can't have failed at this, too.
Do you know why your kickline video went viral?
Because everyone loved it. They loved you.
And no matter what happens, I am so proud of you.
I always will be.
Thank you.
EDGAR: All right, settle down, everyone.
We're officially calling this meeting to order
and tonight's meeting is to vote on
whether to approve the council's decision
to sell the rec center property to Skyridge Resorts.
Dad? Is it okay if I say something?
EDGAR: Yes, absolutely.
The floor recognizes Audrey Parker.
I know some of you heard
that the fundraiser didn't quite hit our goal.
But we came close.
And I still believe that there is a way
to raise the rest of the money.
So I'm asking the council,
for the sake of those who gave what they could, please,
please vote no,
on selling the center to Skyridge Resorts.
Give us more time.
Even if the rec center stays empty, at least there's hope.
And isn't that what Christmas is all about?
Thank you.
Uh, does anyone have anything else?
I thought I'd be hearing from you.
The floor recognizes Griffin Weston.
Thank you.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Listen, I understand
you're hesitant to say goodbye to something so meaningful.
But I promise you, Skyridge Resorts
will do everything that we can
to make sure that this town prospers and grows.
Starting by raising our offer on the property by $1 million.
Just think
of what that'll do for this town.
Better schools.
Better roads.
Selling us this land will mean
you won't have to slash your budgets.
Thank you. Thank you for your time.
Anyone else?
Then on the matter of
the Mistletoe rec center property sale to Skyridge Resorts,
we will now take a vote.
Fred?
Aye.
Maureen?
Aye.
Darlene?
Nay.
Jim?
Nay.
EDGAR: Bob?
Aye.
And I'm a nay.
Three ayes, three nays.
That leaves Jackie.
Aye.
EDGAR: The ayes have it.
I'm so sorry.
I need some air.
[SIGHS]
I know you probably hate me right now.
But I wanted to ask you something.
Dumping money on the problem at the last minute.
[EXHALES] Dirty tactic.
I don't hate you.
I hate the company you work for.
That's fair.
What did you wanna ask?
Okay, if I...
If I wasn't me...
Rather, wasn't the one
that took the rec center from you.
Do you think...
Okay, let's say we bumped into each other at a bar.
A juice bar.
[LAUGHS]
And I... I told you that I just loved your smile.
And I really wanted to get to know you.
And I'd never met anyone like you.
Do you think we might've hit it off?
Depends.
In this hypothetical,
do you insult my Christmas decorations?
No.No?
Mm-mm.
[SNIFFLES] Then, yeah.
Yeah, I think we would.
I, um... I should go.
I... I... I didn't know.
What? Wait.
No, it's okay, it's okay. You don't owe me any explanation.
You... you deserve to be happy.
I'm just so happy for you.
[SIGHS]
[HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING]
You are so much like your mom.
I heard you get up. I figured you'd be here.
I couldn't sleep, Dad.
Yeah, me neither.
Did you hear they cancelled the Christmas party?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it sucks. Come on, here.
[SIGHS]
How you holding up?
I'll be okay.
I just need to decide what my next step is.
You know what?
It was about a month after your mom got the studio up and running
and I asked her if she missed it.
You know, the city and the excitement and the lights.
And you know what she said?
She said I found something better.
You?
[LAUGHS]
Uh, she was talking about freedom.
You know, she could do what she wanted when she wanted.
New York was no longer a dream for her.
I don't think life's paths are ever straight.
They twist, they turn,
but I do think the best ones take you to unexpected places.
[SIGHS]
Dad?
What are you doing here?
I had to come and congratulate my new COO in person.
Well done, Griffin.
You know, that extra million that you put on top,
that was smart.
Right out of my own playbook.
Do you know the surveyors will be here on Monday?
Oh that's, um... that's...that's good.
Great. Why don't we go out, have a nice meal to celebrate.
They've got places to eat around here, don't they?
Yeah, they have a good gingerbread pancake
down at Carl's Tavern, so we'll go there.
Gingerbread pancakes. Okay.
GRIFFIN: [CHUCKLES] They are all named Carl, on that wall.
That's certainly quaint, isn't it?
Here you are.
Thank you.
Enjoy.Yeah.
Buddy of yours?
Yeah, we do a fitness class together.
Pretty much everybody here is your buddy.
You know this is good.
Yeah. Isn't it? Tastes like Christmas.
[LAUGHS] Sure, I guess so.
Listen. Griffin, there's this space
that's opening up in the Poconos.
I want you there Thursday.
Dad, tell me something.
What is your favorite thing about Christmas?
What?
Come on. We never talk about this stuff.
Just, humor me.
[SCOFFS] Okay, well...
I guess when I was little,
I got this authentic toy train set.
And every year, I looked forward to getting a new part
to add to the track.
I never knew that. That... that explains a lot.
[LAUGHS]
Well, your mother was better
at that sentimental holiday stuff.
Dad.Mm?
I don't wanna be COO.
What are they putting in these pancakes?
Dad, listen to me, listen.
I have a plan.
But I need you to have an open mind for this.
Hey. I got your message.
Why do you have to make five dozen Christmas rolls in two hours?
You do know the party's cancelled, right?
Not anymore. Haven't you heard?
It is back on, all thanks to Griffin.What?
[ON VOICEMAIL] Darlene, hey. It's Griffin.
I know the rec center Christmas party of yours
got cancelled after yesterday's vote
but I can't let that happen.
So, party's back on.
I'll make sure it all comes together.
I would love some of those Christmas rolls if you have time.
Why is he doing this?
It's best not to question a Christmas miracle.
Come on!Okay.
[HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Dad.
I can see it.
See what?
What you saw in this place.
You're not disappointed in our new arrangement?
No, no, no. If anything, I'm, uh, I'm proud.
Thank you, Dad.
I love you.
I love you, Griffin.
So, where is she?
Who?
The one that clearly inspired all of this.
No, it's not... It's not like that. It's...
Ah, say no more.
Hey.Hi.
Griffin, don't give up.
Thank you, Dad.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Uh, excuse me, everyone, just for a moment.
If I could just have your attention.
It'll just take a second.
First of all... [CLEARS THROAT]
I just wanted to, um, thank you all
for... for coming on such short notice.
I know how much this party meant to you
and I wanted to make sure...
that I... that I made it happen for you.
Um, but that's not the only reason
that I brought you here.
I, um, I have some good news.
At least I hope it's good news.
I'm happy to announce that... that the...
Mistletoe Skyridge will integrate the rec center
and all of its offerings into our new design.
And, uh, you know, I think what's really beautiful,
is the space will be tailored to Mistletonians
and everybody else who lives here.
Merry Christmas to you and long live the rec center!
[CHEERING AND APPLAUDING]
Yes!
BRADLEY: Oh, if I wasn't clean eating right now,
I would devour one of those Christmas rolls.
They look delicious, right?
You're missing out.
Hey, I found this great listing, I gotta show you.
It's a loft in midtown, so close to Solis.
It is perfect.
I'm sorry, Bradley, I... I can't do it.
Can't do what?
Move back to New York.
I belong here.
What about our dreams?
This is my dream.
I'm going to stay in Mistletoe and livestream classes.
Do things my way.
And us?
I'll always care about you.
[SCOFFS]
[CHOKES UP] I'll miss you.
Did I just see Bradley leave?
I ended it.
And?
It feels right.
You know what, often the hardest things are the most worthwhile.
Come on.
Thanks, Dad.
I'm proud of you, sweetheart.
Dad, why don't you take your own advice?
Darlene, Dad.
Oh... [SPUTTERS]Talk to her.
Um, I don't know how to do that anymore.
Go ask her to dance.Uh...
Go.All right.
Go!
[EXHALES]
Can I cut in, please? Thank you.
You look very handsome tonight, Edgar.
Thank you, Darlene. You look...
You look absolutely beautiful.
Uh, do you think that,
uh, in the very near future that...
you could have dinner...
with me?
What took you so long?[LAUGHS]
I'd love to.
Oh.
Ah, imagine all the tourists that will come to ski
but stay for Mistletoe Coffee Co.
I would say that this news is
the best Christmas present ever.
I don't know, I think I have something that might top it.
Oh, sweetie, I thought we said
we weren't gonna do presents until tomorrow.
Just open it.Okay.
Wait. Wait, are... you're... is this... we're...
I mean you, mainly, but we're...
Yes.
[BOTH LAUGH]
Wow. Uh, let's name him Griffin.
What?Joke. I'm joking. It's a joke.
[HOLIDAY MUSIC PLAYING]
Who knew Griffin Weston could throw a Christmas party?
[CHUCKLES]
Well, [CLEARS THROAT] I had some help
and it's just all about capturing a feeling.
Oh.
You look stunning.
Not so bad yourself.
So, was all that true?
About saving the rec center and keeping it as is?
Every word of it.
Yeah, we're gonna find a way
to build it into the whole system.
[CHUCKLES] I'm shocked. Elated.
Just... shocked.
It's all because of you.
You inspired me to follow my own path.
You showed me how special this town was,
how special Christmas was, how...
how special you are.
Now, I know you're engaged...
I'm not engaged.
I know you saw me with the ring,
and then, we were talking and...
I just needed you to know that.
So you two...
Are over. Over.
[CHUCKLES]
Really?Yeah.
That's great.
[LAUGHS]
I mean... [LAUGHS] I'm sorry.
I mean, "Oh, no."
[BOTH LAUGH]
Are you okay?
Stop.
[LAUGHS]
You know, it turns out, you're pretty inspiring, too.
Really? Is that so?
Well, your whole livestream idea,
it helped me figure out my new path.
And I'll be able to teach all my classes
right here in Mistletoe.
To reach anyone, anywhere.
Funny thing about that is I'm staying here, too.
You're looking at the new operations manager of the resort.
Oh.[BOTH LAUGHS]
I have to stay here to make sure that my vision becomes a reality.
So we'll both be here... together.
Yeah.Hmm.
GRIFFIN: Well, would you look at that!
Mistletoe.
Someone once told me it's not to be messed with.
