[doorbell rings]

[gasps] For me?

Thank you!

Thank you.

Merry Christmas.

Huh.

♪ Ho, ho, ho

[chuckles]

♪ Who wouldn't go



♪ Ho, ho, ho
Who wouldn't go? ♪

♪ Up on the housetop
Click, click, click ♪

♪ Down through the chimney
with Good St. Nick ♪

[♪♪♪]

[chuckles]

[♪♪♪]

Ooh, use all the lights
we've ordered.

We want this place to sparkle.

Oh, hi.

Looks great. Keep it up.

Ooh, when the booths are done,

let's make sure we wrap
garland around every post.

After all...

[sighing happily]



it is Christmas.

[♪♪♪]

Meg, can you make sure

the movie screen
is being delivered today?

I need it on-site at 4:00 p.m.

On it.

You're awesome, thanks!

Hi.

Hey.

Ooh...

Mmm, so good!

Have you tried one?

I have, yeah.
They're set up at Booth 18.

Great.

So, did you get my...
special delivery?

Uh-huh. [laughs]

Did you know it plays a song?

[chuckling] Yeah.

I hope the card
wasn't too corny.

No.
No, it was sweet.

You know, the thing is...

It's just, you know,
we work together, so...

well, it's probably best
if we stay colleagues.

Or friends.

I would love to be friends...

Oh, hey, you know, say no more.

I get it, yeah.

And I agree, actually.

You do?

Yeah, yeah...

Which reminds me,

I gotta go call the...
the dog adoption guys.

Okay.

Hey.

[sighing]

Wow.

[sighing]

Ted just got redder

than he does
from one of his jogs.

I know.

He asked me to dinner,
and I said no.

Oh, don't look at me like that.

I know, he's really nice,

and super sweet.

But it's just...

I know, I know.

Chloe...

Hi, Elaine.

I just got off the phone
with our councilman,

and the city is so impressed

with the work that you've been
doing on the fair.

Keep it up, huh?

Oh, and by the way,

my kids are over the moon

about your idea
with the skating rink.

They can't wait.

Great!

You got this.

[both squealing in triumph]

[laughing]

Ooh, did I tell you,

we're going to have
a tree farm at the fair?

So I can get our tree there.

Wow, you have thought
of everything for this event.

Including a date
for the Christmas ball, I hope.

If not,

you know Sean,

you know, my favorite teller
at the bank,

who's single
and keeps asking about you?

I'll be working the ball.

Besides, I've decided,

no more dating.

Why on earth not?

Because...

when you're not looking,
that's when it happens.

What happens, exactly?

You know, you meet the one,

the one who rocks your world

and sets off all the lights

and the fireworks in your head.

Uh-huh, so...

while you're waiting
for all these lights,

how are you going to get them
if you're not dating?

Because, Mom,

it'll happen when I meet him.

Chloe, honey,

it doesn't always
happen like that.

Sometimes the lights go on

after you've gotten
to know somebody.

And then sometimes,

there are fireworks
when you meet somebody,

and then it just kind of fades.

Like you and Dad?

All I'm saying is

give someone a chance.

[sighing]

[bells jingling]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Hey, can we get a timer

so the rink lights go on
and off automatically?

Thanks!

You my, friend, are a genius.

I mean, look,
everyone loves this.

[sighs]

And the elf marshals?

Wonderful.

Right?

Are you going to skate?

What? No!

The last time I put blades on,

I hit a rough patch of ice,
and...

Splat.

Come on,
you gotta give it a try.

I'll be your personal
rink marshal.

[laughs]

[♪♪♪]

Okay.

Steph!

Good job!

Steph!

Whoa! Ah!

Whoa! Hey...

You okay?

- Hi.
- Hi.

[chuckles nervously]

You all right?

Oh...
Oh, I got you.

Whoa!

Whoo! [laughs]

[yelps]

Gotcha.

Yeah.

Do you want to,
uh... Here.

Whoa...

You're all right.

[yelps] Whoa!

That was a pretty
spectacular fall.

I was hoping nobody noticed.

I noticed as soon as
you stepped on the rink.

Ooh...

Your rink marshal is here.

Really? Now?

It's okay.
I gotta get going.

Just, uh, hold her hand.

Uh... I...

So...

Who was he?

The man of my dreams.

Who's...

apparently taken.

[♪♪♪]

I am so proud of you.

This is gorgeous.

It's like a winter
wonderland here.

Oh, hey!

Let's get some new ornaments
for the tree.

Yeah.

Ooh, I like this.

I love this one.

Love this, yeah.

What do you think?
Do you think it's pretty?

Chloe?

What? Oh yeah,
beautiful.

Anna?

[gasps]

Ah...

Oh, my gosh, I don't believe it.

Russ Peterson?

What are you doing here?

These are my gingerbread houses.

Get out, you made those?

I did.

Oh, my gosh!

With my grandmother's
secret recipe.

Really?

Russ, this is
my daughter, Chloe.

Hi.

Chloe helped organize
this whole fair.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Some of it.

It's beautiful.

Russ and I went
to high school together.

Oh.

Well, we did
a little more than that.

Oh.

Like that dinner date we had?

Oh, you mean the one

where you didn't have
enough money to pay the bill?

Yeah, I didn't want
your mother to know,

so I went and found the manager,

and asked if I could
come back later

and make up the difference,

and he had me scrubbing these
huge industrial pots.

I'm sorry, I'd forgotten
about that part.

You were worth it.

Oh, well, uh,

Chloe and I were just about
to go get our tree.

Oh, I can do it.

Why don't you guys stay
and catch up?

That'd be great.

When the booth closes,

I could maybe... buy you coffee?

I have the money now.

[laughs]

Are you sure you don't mind?

Not at all.

Have fun.

Really nice meeting you, Russ.

You too, Chloe.

Bye.

Bye.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, sorry.

- Hi!
- Hi!

It's you!

Yeah.

[laughs]

Um, I was just here
checking out the blue spruces.

They're my favorite.

I absolutely agree.

So, are you picking out
a tree too?

I am.

For my sister and niece.

Oh, your sister?

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, she told me
under no circumstance

get a big tree,

so I'm looking for
a ten-footer, at least.

[laughs]

Uh, was your...

was your sister at the rink?

Yeah, you might have
seen me with her.

Hmm...

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe.

So, are you in town
visiting your sister

with your family, or...?

Uh, No.
No family. No.

Just me.

Oh.

I'm Evan, by the way.

- Chloe.
- Hi.

Hi.

Uh...

So are you picking out a tree
for someone special?

[scoffs] No.

Well, yeah. My mom.

She's on her own, like me,

so, uh...

I get the tree every year.

That's nice.

Yeah.
[message alert chimes]

Oh, no.

Everything okay?

One of the dogs escaped
from the adoption booth.

I'm sorry,
I have to go help find it.

I'm actually a bit
of a dog whisperer,

so I could help.

Really?

Uh...

but what about your tree?

Oh, um...

Excuse me, sir?

Can you hold the biggest tree
you've got?

Sure.

I'll come back.

Let's go.

Okay. [laughs]

[message alert chimes]

Good boy!

Okay, they say
his name is Dasher.

Sounds appropriate.

Yeah.

So, what do you think,

should we start
at Santa's Village?

I'm ready.

[chuckling] Okay.

Be good!

What do you want for Christmas?

Dasher?

Dasher!

[kissing and whistling]
- Here, boy!

Dasher!

Ho, ho, ho!

Sorry, Santa, not that Dasher.

Dasher, here, boy!

[kissing and coaxing]

Dasher!

Oh! There he is.

What?

Watch this.

Dasher...

[kissing and calling]

Come here, boy...

Mmm...

This is good.

So good.

[whistling nonchalantly]

[gasping]

Hey, buddy. Hey.

Here. Pass me the leash?

Hey, buddy.
Hey, buddy.

Hey...

You were hungry, weren't you?

Yeah, you were.

Ooh... gotcha.

[chuckling]

Aw, buddy...

There you go.

I hope you find
your forever home soon.

He's pretty handsome
in that sweater.

I think he will.

Yeah.

Hey, what about you,
dog whisperer?

I would, but, uh,

my job doesn't allow me
to have pets right now.

What about you?

Oh, I would love to,

but my building
has a no-pet policy.

Which I have been
lobbying against

for over a year now.

Oh.

Well, something tells me
you're gonna win.

Well...

thank you.

I'm happy I could help.

Me too.

I should, uh...

Yeah.

Sorry! Whoo!

[chuckling awkwardly]

Actually, you know what, um,

do you want to grab
a cider or something?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Cool.

Be good!

See you, Dasher.

Thanks.

Cheers.
- Cheers.

So, uh, how did you know

where to find the best
cider in the fair?

You have an inside source?

Kind of.

I work for the company
that helped plan this.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

You've done an amazing job.

[chuckles]

Um, what about you?

Besides being a dog whisperer?

Um... I sell these.

Our company also makes parkas.

In fact, I dropped off about 20
at the donation center.

That's so generous of you.
Thank you.

So, uh, you were saying earlier

it's just you and your mom
for Christmas, or...?

Mm-hmm.

Well, my parents got divorced

when I was young,

and my dad came around
for a while,

but lately it's just
been me and my mom.

[laughs awkwardly]

Yeah, my sister Kate
and her husband

divorced last year.

He still sees Sara on weekends,

but this is the first Christmas

they're not together
like a family.

That's why
I made sure to be here.

I'm sure that's
going to mean a lot to them.

Uncle Evan!

Hey, you!

Did you tell Santa
what you wanted for Christmas?

Wow, that's quite
the tall order.

Kate, this is Chloe.

Hi!
- Hi!

This is my niece, Sara.

Hey.

Chloe organized
this whole thing.

Not all of it.

Well, whatever you've done,
you've done a great job.

Sure has.

Mommy, can we stay
for the movie?

Movie?

It's the movie under the stars.

We have a whole
outdoor screen set up

and hot chocolate.

It's like a Christmas drive-in.

Can we, please?

I don't see why not.

Chloe, are you going?

- Oh, no, I...
- You should.

I mean, you don't have to work
all night, too, do you?

No, I'm not.

[♪♪♪]

[whispering quietly]

[♪♪♪]

Hi. Hi.

Hi!

Hi, cutie!

Are you excited?

Here, I thought we could share.

Thanks.

Oh!
I love this one.

Me too.

When she sends
the letter to Santa.

And how all she wishes for is

her dad could have a wife?

I know.

[sighs]
It's the best.

I know.

[♪♪♪]

[laughing]

This is pretty funny.

Yeah.

[wind gusting]

Oh, excuse me!

I think you dropped this!

Gorgeous, isn't it?

[♪♪♪]

Mm! And then,

after the movie,

he asked me
to the Christmas ball.

I mean, you know, I told him
I was working,

of course,

so he made me promise
to save him a dance.

I mean, how cute is that?

Like, what, like, "Ooh,
do I have a dance card

or something?"

[laughing]

And does he live near here,

or does he live in another city?

He has a place in New York,
which is so close,

and he was just about to tell me
all about his new job,

but then Sara got tired
and she fell asleep,

and he had to help
take her home,

but whatever,

none of that matters,

because it's happening.

All of it.

The lights, the fireworks...

[laughs] I can
definitely see that.

And I'm so happy for you.

[sighing] Thanks!

[♪♪♪]

[applauding]

Honey, this room looks gorgeous.

You did such a good job.

Thank you.

And you look gorgeous too.

Oh, are you sure?

I haven't worn this dress
in 10 years.

You should see the way
Russ was looking at you.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Hi!

I was hoping you'd be here.

Oh, well, I was
hoping you'd be here.

[chuckling]

Well, I have a few things

I have to tend to.

You guys enjoy yourselves.

Thank you.

Let me know if I can help you.

Wow, it looks great!

Yeah.

Ooh, do we have enough ice?

I need to make sure
it doesn't melt.

Don't worry, I just checked.

We got a truck parked out back
filled with ice.

Thank you.

You look great, by the way.

Thanks. So do you.

I like the bow tie.

Yeah?

You don't think the snowflakes
are a little too much?

No, I love snowflakes.

You know, it's a shame.

After tonight,
this is just going to melt.

Makes me wish
I had a bigger freezer.

Chloe, I know we decided
to just be friends, but...

I figured maybe there
wouldn't be any harm in...

Excuse me.

Harm in, uh...

Wow.

Do you always look this fabulous

for a work event?

Yeah, it's kind of how I roll.

It's not, actually.

My feet are killing me.

Well, that's too bad,

because I know I only
reserved one dance,

but I was kind of hoping
to fill up your dance card.

[laughing]

[sighs]

Now you can.

Perfect.

[message alert chimes]

Sorry.

Everything okay?

Yeah. It's great.

Let's dance.

[♪♪♪]

[crowd applauds]

Thanks for your help
with the cleanup,

and for helping get
the sculpture

into the truck.

Just glad I was able

to pry my fingers off of it.

[chuckles]

You know, I did
offer you gloves.

Yeah, I'm pretty stubborn.

Mm-hmm.

You know, it is nice of you

to think of sending it
to the soup kitchen.

Well, that's what
Christmas is all about.

Yeah, it is.

This is me.

Oh.

Let me see...

That's your apartment.

How'd you know?

'Cause it stands out.

[chuckles] Aw.

Everything about you stands out.

I'm leaving, Chloe.

Huh?

Uh, this transfer
that I put in for

a long time ago,

the deadline was so close,

it didn't think it would happen,

and then tonight,
I got the message.

I'm being transferred to Oslo.

Oslo?

Yeah.

Like... Oslo, Norway, Oslo?

Like, the one that's
4,000 miles across the ocean?

That's the one,

and I'm leaving
the day after Christmas.

Ha!

I know. I can't
believe my luck,

but the company,

they need someone
to oversee the new office,

and I pushed for this, so...

I gotta go.

Are you coming back?

Yeah.

Yeah, like, in a year.

Maybe two.

I can't really say for sure.

Wow.

Chloe, I'm so sorry.

I-I didn't expect...

Yeah, no.
Me... neither.

So, I guess...

the timing's off.

Yeah.

Guess so.

But thank you.

For giving me one of
the best Christmases I've had

in a very long time.

Ditto.

[chuckles]

Good night.

Good night.

[♪♪♪]

And what is this?

[laughs]

Oh...

Oh, I love it.

I don't have to ask
who that's from.

No, you don't.

I do have a mystery present
for you, though.

- You do?
- Yeah.

Ooh, I found it
on the front porch,

and it has your name on it.

Really?

Yup.

That's exciting.

Mm-hmm.

Let's see.

It's from Evan.

Why don't you stay in touch?

Because what's the point?

He's about to move
halfway around the world.

Besides, it was just one night.

It's fine.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

[♪♪♪]

Let's set up a meeting
Thursday, 3:00?

Great.

See you then.

That was the fourth call today

to plan an office
Christmas party.

You know what,

I've got a bride
who wants to arrive

in a horse-drawn sleigh.

Can you even do that
in this city?

I don't know.

You could try sled dogs.

Chloe? Ted?
A minute?

Oh.

- Of course.
- Yeah.

Well, both of you
were fundamental

to last year's
Christmas Fair success,

so this year,

I'd like both of you to
work together as a team

and head up the event.

But...

that means everything
falls on you.

Understood?

- 100%.
- We're on it, yeah.

Well...

hop to it.

We've got only four weeks
until opening day.

[chuckles]

[splutters in disbelief]

Okay, I'll call the vendors

and confirm everyone.

I'll take stock
of last year's inventory.

Great.

Okay.

Yeah. [chuckling]

Congratulations.

Thanks!

I think.

It's a bit overwhelming.

I know someone
who's not overwhelmed.

He looks like a kid

whose Christmas wish
just came true.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, all the vendors
are checked in,

and the carolers confirmed

they'll be here
every evening at 6:00,

starting tonight.

Great.

The gazebo is
going up as we speak.

It looks amazing.

Sounds like we're ready to open.

Yes, we are.

[chuckles]

[♪♪♪]

Hi. These are selling.

Yeah.

Really selling.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Russ.

Hey.

Hey.

Oh, those are so cute!

Isn't it?

I thought it'd be a good idea

if Russ made something other
than just gingerbread houses.

She was right.

Yup.

Hey, I thought
you'd want to know

the igloo dome is up,
and you were right.

It looks amazing.

Thank you.

Mom, Russ, this is Ted.

Is this Ted?
Ted, Hello.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

You and Chloe are the power team

behind this whole thing.

I'm mostly moral support.

She does all the heavy lifting.

What are you talking about?

He's so much more
organized than me.

Really nice to meet you guys.

Nice to meet you, too.

And great gingerbread,
by the way.

Hey, thanks.
We take credit cards.

Now we do.

[giggling] Stop it...

Well, he's kind of adorable.

Ted?

Well, yeah, he's...

he's sweet.

Uh-huh.

Well, have you ever thought of...

Mom! We work
together.

I know.

So do we.

Not the same thing.

Bye, guys.

Bye.

Ooh...

Here we go!

[laughing]

[cheering]

Yes, you got it!

Hi.

Wow.

You picked up some mad skills

while I was away.

I may have been practicing.

Ooh, check it out.

[yelps]

Whoa, careful...

You okay?
- [laughing]

Well, it may still be
a work in progress.

Yeah.

So you're back.

I am. For now.

Oh.

You have to go back to Norway?

Evan!

Hey!

Hi!

I was just, uh,
saving Chloe here

from becoming an ice casualty.

You're a knight
in shining armor.

Hi. I'm Raquel.

Chloe.

[clearing throat awkwardly]

So nice to meet you.

Raquel and I met
at the Oslo office.

That's great.

And how do you two
know each other?

Uh, we just met...

Last Christmas.

She organizes...

Well, he helped catch a dog.

The event.

Ooh, that reminds me,

we have to make sure
the Fall look book

is ready for proofing
by tomorrow.

Oh, right, yeah.

Your sister has wifi, right?

Yes. Yeah.

You're staying at your sister's?

Yeah, Raquel
wanted to experience

an American Christmas.

My family's
originally from Sweden.

We do things differently there.

[chuckles]

I bet.

[cell phone vibrates]

That's Montreal.

They're ready for
our conference call.

Right.

Nice to meet you.

- Bye.
- Uh...

Evan?

I'll see you around the fair?

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

You should have seen her

in her pencil skirt

and her four-inch heels.

I mean, who can
wear those all day?

Let alone to a fair?

I get it, Chloe.

But the man was gone a year.

A lot can happen in that time.

Not for me.

I mean, I still can't order
the Peking duck for two.

Ooh...

But soon you'll be able

to call yourself a godmother,

and this little guy

is gonna need someone
to teach him how to skate.

Little guy?

Do you know?

We're having a boy.

[laughs in delight]

I haven't even met him yet,

and I already love
little... Connor or Dylan

so much.

[laughs]

Oh, Steph, I'm so happy for you.

You have no idea!

[laughs]

[♪♪♪]

[gasps]

That's incredible.

We still have a week
before Christmas.

The kids are gonna be so happy.

[sighs]

[dog barking]

Shh!

[barking loudly]

Shh!

Dasher!

[barking]

[sighs]

You still haven't
found a family?

[barks]

[barking]

[chuckling nonchalantly]

Hey, Santa,

just the man I wanted to see.

Ho, ho, ho,

what can I do for you, my dear?

Well, for starters,

I never got my wish list
in the mail,

which made me a little nervous,
because

I may not have been so good,

so if you could just
take a minute

and explain to me, uh,

what may be considered naughty,

versus, you know,
just a misdemeanor.

I'm pretty sure
you're in the clear.

He's right, my dear.

You have nothing to worry about.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

[sighs]

[Santa chuckling]

So, are you, uh, avoiding me?

What?

No. [scoffs]

Why would I do that?

I'm good.

Great.

Great.

Hey, I'm glad you like the vest.

I thought it'd be
a great color on you.

I was going to thank you
earlier, but...

Oh, no, that's okay.

I'm just really happy
to see you.

Wearing the vest.

And you.

Uh...

Oh, yeah, Raquel.

Yeah, we've only been dating
for a few months.

I wasn't really ready

to invite her
to meet the family,

but, uh, you know,
she can be very convincing.

It's why she's so good
at her job.

Yeah, well, that's great.

I'm sure you two make a real...

power couple.

Yeah.

And you?

You still celebrating Christmas
with your mom?

Oh, yeah.

[sings awkwardly]
♪ Just the two of us...

Like every year.

Evan, I need your help.

Oh, Kate, uh,
you remember Chloe?

Of course I do.

You two were dancing

like it was
your last song at prom.

[chuckling awkwardly]

Uh, what did you need help with?

Raquel.

She just informed me
that she's a vegan.

Right.

I forgot to mention that.

Yes, you did.

There's actually
a vendor in booth nine

that sells Tofurkeys.

Oh.

You are a life-saver.

Evan,

go to booth nine and fix this.

I will take Sara to the games.

Got it.

[mouthing silently]

Don't mention it.

[cheering]

Come on, guys!

All the way back, come on!

Come on, guys!

[cheering] Whoo!

- Come on!
- Careful!

Careful, come on.

There we go!

Yeah!

Whoo! You're the winner!

Okay, I'll take that.

That's for you.

Thank you.

All right, the next guys up,

come on over here, guys.

So now...

Chloe's gonna give you
your ornament on a spoon.

Careful.

Yeah, watch out.

This one?

Careful, don't drop it.

I don't know what's trickier,
this or an egg.

Well, you can hard-boil an egg.

True.

You know, I was pretty
good at this game,

even without the hard-boiling.

Care to make it interesting?

Is that a challenge?

It's a challenge,

but I should let you know,
I'm pretty competitive.

Oh, really?

You know what...

so am I.

Fine, okay, you go to the end.

We're gettin'
in your race, okay?

I'm gonna be on your team...

Me and you, buddy, we got this!

You wanna go to the other side?

I'll take that.

[Chloe clapping eagerly]

Whoo!

Okay, when I say go,
we go, are we ready?

Don't look at him,
just look at me.

Three, two, one, go!

Come on, come on!

[Chloe shouting]
Come on!

Whoo!

Come on!

Yes, come on, come on.

Okay, you got this!

Whoa!

Go, go, go!

[Ted calling]:
Come on, go!

Oh! Man!

Oh, shoot!

Yes!

You won!

Can we play?

Uncle Evan,

you and Raquel can be a team,

and Mommy and I can be one.

Sara, sweetie, I really
have to get home

and start baking.

Chloe!

Yeah?

Chloe, you can play.

You can be on my team.

I don't know,

I don't think
that's a good idea.

Please?

Uncle Evan and Raquel
will be on the other team.

Honey, Raquel can't
play in those heels.

Oh, these are my walking shoes.

I'll be fine.

Great, let's play!

Great!

Okay.

Toes on the line, guys.

When I ring the bell,
it's time to go.

You ready?

Three, two, one...

Go! [ringing bell]

Come on, Sara!

Come on, you can do it!

[crowd cheering]

Come on, come on, come on!

[crowd cheering]

Come on!

Come on, Chloe, you got this!

Yeah!

Come on, Chloe, you got it!

Yes, I do!

Come on, Chloe!

You got this!

Yeah!

Whoo!

Oh! [laughing]

Yes!

[laughing and cheering]

I can't believe it, I won!

What a fun game.

What's it called?

The... spoon game?

Okay.

There you are, congratulations.

Oh, thank you.

Okay.

Evan, did you see?
I won!

I did.

You did great, I know.

You were so great, as always.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, Sara, you want my prize?

Thank you.

I have to, uh,
go fix some things.

Okay.

- Okay, bye, guys.
- Bye.

[♪♪♪]

There you are.

How are you doing?

I'm cool.

My and my ice cream,

just chillin'.

[chuckling]

Well, I'm glad I found you,

because I wanted to ask

how you would feel

if I invited Russ
to Christmas dinner this year?

I think that'd be really great.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Mom, he's...
he's a really nice guy.

He is.

I'm happy for you.

Thank you, sweetie.

Mm-hmm.

What about you?

I know my daughter,

and I know

that she would not let
an ice cream sundae

survive that long.

Is it that Evan guy?

I saw him with some woman

wearing heels
that would defy gravity.

Yeah.

She's surprisingly
really good at balance.

I don't know, Mom,

I guess I just thought that...

if we ever came back together,

we would just, you know, like,

pick up where
we left off, you know?

It's so dumb.

I mean, we didn't even date,

and he's been gone
for over a year.

It's just...

I just really thought
we had something.

The fireworks.

Yeah.

If it is meant to be,
trust me, it will be.

Do you remember
the first Christmas

you and I spent on our own?

Oh, yeah.

Okay, well,

you refused to let me
sit around and mope

on the holidays,

and you were absolutely right,

and I'm gonna do that
for you now,

so you get up...
- What?

- Take your ice cream.
- No, I'm...

Yup, we're gonna
go have some fun.

- [groaning]
- Listen to your mama.

Whoo!

Thank you, everyone!

That was interesting.

Evan, I had no idea
you had such a singing voice.

Seven years in the church choir.

Ah, okay, okay.

[message alert chimes]
Yeah...

Sorry, it's Peter.

I have to take this.

Hi, hi.

Um...

you know what,

I'm gonna go see
if Russ needs some help,

so I will call you.

Mom... no!

I'll call you later, yeah.

Mom!

See ya!

Hey, that was, uh...

quite the duet.

Yeah. If we ever
got in an argument,

we would talk
all over each other.

Well, I don't know about you,

but I'm a little parched
from all that singing.

Yeah, I could use some liquids.

What, like a cider,

or a hot chocolate,
or something?

Oh...

Oh, Raquel,

she's talking to our boss, so...

it's gonna be a while.

Oh.

Okay.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

All right.

[gasps]

Do you wanna see
something really cool?

Uh, yeah.

Okay.

It's right over here.

Whoa.

Here we are.

What is this?

Well, I wanted to see

if I could to recreate
the northern lights

right here at the Fairmont Fair.

I've always wanted to see them.

I saw them,
this past March in Bardufoss.

Norway's one of the best places
in the world to see it.

- No way!
- You would have loved it.

[gasps]

What did Raquel think?

Um... we hadn't met yet.

Mmm.

You know, I thought about you.

I even googled your name.

Do you know
how many people come up

if you google "Chloe Taylor"?

Really?

Hmm, I always thought
I was one of a kind.

You are.

I even thought about
writing a letter,

or calling, or...

But then they extended
my transfer,

and I just figured that, uh...

4,000 miles is a...

it's a long ways away.

You know, what's crazy is
just standing here with you...

it just feels like nothing.

I should go.

Yeah.

But, uh...

but thank you for...

sharing this with me.

Yeah.

Hey, uh...

will... will you be
at the ball?

I will.

Bye.

[♪♪♪]

Hey!

Is the broiler fixed yet?

Great.

Ooh.

Mmm!

These are amazing!

The deejay just got here.

He's setting up now.

Great.

Have you had these yet?

No, I mean, I can't really...

Nosh on that.

I'll go check on Santa.

Keep up the good work, guys!

I'm lactose intolerant.

Do I look fat?

What? No!
You're pregnant,

and you look glowy
and beautiful.

I look bloated,

like... like a whale.

[laughs]

Maybe if I just
stick my hand on my tummy?

That's what
pregnant women do, right?

Yeah, that totally works.

I mean, you're
definitely preggers, but...

May I have this dance,
my lovely wife?

Aw...

you keep sweet-talking me
like that,

and maybe I won't eat
the whole dessert table.

[laughs]

[whispers] Good luck.

[♪♪♪]

Evan, let's dance, come on.

[♪♪♪]

They don't have
an ounce of the chemistry

you and Evan had last year.

Yeah, well...

They have something.

Work, I guess.

You look like you could
use something bubbly.

Yeah.

Wait here.

Hey, um...

Can I help you with something?

No. No, I'm, uh...

Cheese puff?

Yes, please.

That's very good.

I know.

And highly addictive.

So, you know, um,

Raquel and I were dancing...

Mm-hmm.

And I couldn't help
but remember last year,

and all I kept thinking was...

what a great dancer you are.

Well, I've got
some killer moves.

[chuckles awkwardly]

There you are.

Always with the food.

He has quite the appetite.

Yeah.

So I hope they have
a good meal on the flight.

I just got word,

we have to be back early.

When?

Uh, we fly out
in less than four hours.

Just enough time to pack.

Right.

So I guess we gotta
call it a night. Okay.

Yeah.

Evan?

I think you should go.

to see you again, Chloe.

[sighs in relief]

On that note...

I think we did
a pretty bang-up job

organizing this thing together.

Now I think we deserve
to have a little fun.

I mean, you said it.

All work and no play
makes us dull,

right?

I guess.

[Russ]: A toast.

To family and friends

who make the holidays
so much brighter

just by being here.

[clinking glasses]

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Here you go.

- Hey, come here. Come here.
- Ah.

Thanks.

[laughing]

[♪♪♪]

- Aw.
- Aw. [laughing]

[♪♪♪]

Mm...

[sniffing]

[laughs]

Okay, okay.

[laughing] I'm up.

Hey, Mom!

How's sunny Florida?

Oh, it's hotter than I imagined.

Russ wore a dinner jacket
last night.

I think he lost
ten pounds in sweat.

How are things up there?

Running like clockwork.

Ooh, by the way,

I ran into Russ's
daughter yesterday,

and she has everything
ready for the booth.

[doorbell rings]

Mom, I gotta go.

Hi to Russ for me.

I'll see you on Christmas.

Okay, honey, bye-bye!

[kisses] Bye.

You, stay.

[kissing]

Good boy.

[barking]

Dasher, quiet!
Shh.

Thank you.

[barking]

Oh, do you need me to sign, or...

O-kay. Thank you. Bye!

Really, Dasher?

[switching music box on]

["Jingle Bells" plays]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Well, if you want recipes,
I got tons.

Do you like protein bars?

Oh, my gosh, I love them.

Then I got a great holiday one
that you're going to love.

It is peppermint, cranberries,

and a little bit
of dark chocolate.

It is amazing.

Hey!

Hi!

Did you get my special delivery?

I sure did.

Thank you.

And yes to dinner tonight.

Great.

'Cause I already
made us reservations

at that new
Cantonese restaurant.

[gasps] Can we get
the Peking duck?

I've always wanted to try it.

Whatever you want.

Great.

Hi.

I don't think we've met.
I'm Chloe.

Tricia.

Elaine hired me to fill in

for the busy Christmas season

while Stephanie's
on maternity leave.

Oh, right.

Stephanie's my best friend.

Oh.

Yeah, and I'm actually
her baby's godmother.

Oh, wow.

Yeah.
[message alert chimes]

Oh, uh, we have to go meet
the ice cream company.

Okay, I'll grab my coat.

Great.

See you later.

Yeah.

Mm, great idea

bringing this into the festival.

You know, they said
they have enough

for another booth if we wanted.

Really?

Let's put it by Santa's Village.

I'm on it.

Hey! Mine.

Hey...

How's Connor's
first Christmas fair?

He spat up on Santa,

but at least he didn't cry.

That's great.

Fun time's over for us, though.

It's time to go pick up
the in-laws at the airport.

I'm just hoping
their flight's delayed,

because it's right
at his feeding time.

Nothing says "welcome"
like a screaming baby.

Oh, just leave him with me.

Are you sure?

Don't you have, like,
work to do?

No, Ted's on it.

Don't worry.

Connor and Auntie Chloe
will be all good,

just as long as you
have an extra bottle.

I always pack one just in case.

I should be back
in a couple of hours.

If you have any problems,
call me.

Thank you, you're a lifesaver.

Yeah, get outta here.

[cooing]

Chloe?

Hey!

Hey, um...

wow, you're...

A godmother.

That's it.

[laughing]

Or awesome auntie,

as I like to call myself.

Congratulations.

[chuckles] Thanks.

You're back.

Again.

I am.

And who's this?

Oh, this is Connor.

He's pretty chill.

You know, he likes milk

and long walks in a stroller.

Hey, Connor.

Hey, buddy.

So, uh, how's Raquel?

Oh, she's good.

She went to Sweden
for the holidays...

with her boyfriend.

Oh.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

It wasn't meant to be, trust me.

But, hey, uh,

I started a new program
with the company.

As of this December,

5% of every coat sales
goes to charity,

and I made sure Out Of the Cold
was one of the recipients.

Thank you.

The best part is,

I'm back in the New York office,

which means I'm not
4,000 miles away,

just 40.

Oh, hey, who do we have here?

This is Evan.

Oh. Hi.

It's nice to meet you.

And, uh, that's Connor.

Well, actually,
Connor and I go way back,

so we don't need
any introduction,

right, Connor?

[laughs]

But it's nice to meet you, Evan.

Although I've seen you before.

At the ball?

Oh, right, yeah.

I'm a bit of a regular.

[chuckling] Yeah.

I'm just babysitting for Steph.

She's picking up the in-laws.

Oh, you play momma.

I just got to wrap up
a few things at the office,

then I'll pick you up?

Great.

Okay.

[kissing]

And, uh,

enjoy the fair.

It's nice to meet you.

- Take care.
- Yeah.

I'll see you around the fair.

Sure.

I guess so.

[♪♪♪]

[laughing]

So they're not seeing
one another anymore?

Nope.

She's got a new boyfriend.

Chloe, you were crushed

when he showed up last year
with a girlfriend...

and now he's free.

And I'm not.

What?
Steph, I'm happy.

I mean...

Ted's a great guy.

In fact, I should have
given him a chance

two years ago.

But instead,
I pined over some guy

who just seems to come and go,

so I'm sorry,
but I'm with Ted now.

Okay.

Yeah, I figured
it worked so well this year,

we should just do it every year.

And?

Is it everything you hoped for?

Chloe?

Hmm?

The duck.

You said you always
wanted to try it.

It's great.

So, I was thinking
in the new year

I'd start training
for a marathon,

and I was wondering,
maybe you could train with me?

Come on my lunchtime jogs.

No, I do not run.

Well, I mean, I do,

but that's only after
an ice cream truck.

Well, maybe we could find
something else to do together,

other than work, of course.

Yeah, of course.

Um...

what about horseback riding?

Doesn't that sound like fun?

Not really.

The hay fever
would be the end of me.

Hay fever.

Whoo!

Well, we'll find something.

Yeah.

Ooh, try some of this
with the sauce.

It's so good...

Is it spicy?
You know I can't do spicy.

No, it's fine, you'll love it.

[coughing and spluttering]

Oh.

Oh...

I'm really sorry.

Hey!

[wheezing]
Oh, hey, Tricia!

Hi.

[coughing]

Um, I didn't know you were
having dinner here tonight.

My regular Thai place
around the corner

is having a private event,

so Lo Mein to go...

[chuckling]

Uh, why don't you join us?

Uh...

Um...

Yeah, we have so much duck,

it really shouldn't
be for just two.

If you don't mind.

So, I was just telling Chloe

I'm about to start training
for the Fairmont marathon.

Really?

I just signed up for it.

Really?

Yeah.

Is it your first one?

Actually, no,

I've done three halves,

and this will be my second full.

How do you train?

Is it sprints?
Do you do intervals?

Well, I do
a combination of both,

but I pace myself
at the beginning.

Okay, I've read
that you should train

for three-quarters
of the distance...

[♪♪♪]

Wow, Tricia knows a lot
about running marathons.

Yeah.

Maybe you two
could train together.

That wouldn't bother you?

No, why would it?

I don't know,
I guess I just thought

it might make you
kind of... jealous?

Well, I wouldn't want
you training with her

all the time...

- Right.
- But...

Here we are.

Yeah, here we are.

[Dasher barking inside]

[barking]

Oh, I should get up there.

The board just ruled
in favor of pets.

I don't want them to regret it.

No worries.

Good night.

What?

Nosy neighbors.

Oh.

I'm gonna...

Okay.

I'll see you at work.

You bet.

[♪♪♪]

[pen writing on paper]

[incoming call chimes]

Hey, Mom.

Hi, sweetheart.
How's the fair?

Great.

Even better than last year.

How are you and Ted?

We're good.

So, any New Year's plans
with Ted?

Anything I should maybe
get excited about?

Mom, we've only been
on a few dates.

I don't know yet.

Why not?

[laughs]

Because...

I like Ted, he's...

he's very sweet.

I just...

I don't know if I...

You don't know if you love him?

Yeah.

How would I?

I've never been in love.

Well, I mean, I have,

but that was like...
"Boom, I love you,

and now you're gone."

Well, sweetheart,
all loves are different.

Sometimes there's that "boom,"

and then... and other times,
well, it just grows.

I mean, who's to say I won't...

grow to love Ted?
[chuckling]

Well, if that's
what you truly want.

Thanks, Mom.

You make everything clearer.

[♪♪♪]

[clearing throat for attention]

Good evening, everyone,

and thank you so much

for supporting the third annual
Christmas Fair.

[crowd cheering]

I'm Chloe, this is Ted,

and before the movie starts,

we thought it would be
a lot of fun

to play movie trivia.

We're gonna ask you questions,

and if you know the answer,

don't be shy, raise your hand,

or just shout it out.

Are you guys ready to play?

[cheering] Yeah!

[Ted]: All right,
first question.

In Frosty the Snowman,

what was the name of the rabbit?

Yeah.

Hocus Pocus!

That's correct.

[whispers]
Nice!

Okay, question number two,

in what city

did Miracle on
34th St. take place?

[calling] New York!

New York, that's correct!

Okay, in Dear Santa,

what was the one wish
Olivia had for her dad?

A wife.

That is correct!

Everybody, whoa,
that was a tough one!

Not for me.

Okay, thank you all so much!

Enjoy the show!

[applause]

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's just, uh...

I ate too much caramel corn,

so... I just need
to go walk it off.

Yeah?

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

this is structurally sound?

[laughing]

Good night.

Merry Christmas.

[sighing]

[sighs wearily]

Hey.

Hey.

You filling in for Santa?

[chuckles]

No, just taking a break.

That's too bad.

I was hoping I could tell you
my Christmas wish.

[chuckles wryly]

Hey, how are Kate and Sara?

They're great.

In fact,
Kate is getting married.

[gasps]

I'm so happy for her,

and for Sara.

So, uh,

are you and Ted planning on...

No. Well, I don't know.

Uh, not right now.

But you may?

Never say "never."

Right.

You know, um,
I've been thinking,

I don't know, this work travel
just isn't worth it.

You miss out on too much.

I should go.

Chloe...

Yeah?

I wish I had waited,

that first year,

so I could have come back

and given us a chance.

I'm mad at myself

for not following my heart
when I should have.

Good night.

Good night, Chloe.

[♪♪♪]

[door opens]

[calling] Mom?

Chloe?

[chuckling in delight]

Hi! Oh, I
missed you.

Oh, you look great!

Oh, thank you, thank you.

And... thank you for this.

Thank you for decorating
the house while I was gone.

It's gorgeous.

Of course!

Oh, speaking of decorating,

I got something for you.

I ordered it before I left.

I hope you like it.

It's just something little.

Ooh...

Aw...

You don't like it.

I do!

Mom, it's really sweet.

Chloe, is everything
okay with Ted?

Yeah.

Oh.

Because I called you.

No, that was fine.

I was just, you know,

having a moment.

It was probably the moon
or something.

[clearing throat]

Yeah.

Or... Evan?

Uh...

Is he back?

He is, actually.

Yeah, his sister's
getting married.

[laughs] Isn't that great?

Yeah, it is.

Is he here with Raquel?

No.

They broke up, actually.

I need to go pick up
my dry cleaning, um,

but you and Russ
are coming tonight, right?

Are you kidding?
We wouldn't miss it.

Great.
I'll see you tonight.

Ooh, and, uh, thank you.

Aw, thank you, for this.

- Okay.
- Bye, sweetheart.

Bye!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Please stay up, please stay up,
please stay up...

Okay...
- Hey...

All right, stay, you dumb...

Hey, here, here, come here.

Let me do it.

Ha!

Good luck.

[sighs]

There.

That should hold.

[groaning] Oh...

[blowing]
Now I got fingerprints...

Chloe, it looks fine.

No, Chloe, Chloe...

it looks fine.

Hey, just relax, okay?

Everything's going to be okay.

[groaning in frustration]

What?

Chloe...

I've been thinking about us.

You, really, and...

there's something
I want to give you.

Aw...

[gasping]

It's not what you think.

A snowflake?

It's your Christmas present.

It's beautiful.
Thank you.

I wanted to give it
to you now, 'cause...

I won't be seeing you
on Christmas, Chloe.

Yes, you will.

You're coming
to my mom's dinner.

Actually, I don't think I am.

Why?

Chloe, we both deserve
to start the New Year off

on the right foot,

but... in order to do that,

I don't think we should be
stepping into it together.

Oh.

Okay, um...

So you're breaking up with me.

You and I both know

we're not well suited
for one another.

Uh, Ted...

I mean, we work great together,

but what else
do we have in common?

I can't even go
into your apartment

because I'm allergic
to your dog.

I don't want you
to have to give that up.

I don't want you to have
to give up anything.

[sighs]

Wow.

Okay.

You know, you're a really
great guy, Ted.

I hope you have
a great Christmas, Chloe.

You too.

No, no, Janet,

don't worry, he'll settle,

and if he doesn't,

just give him another bottle.

No, he doesn't have colic.

That's just how loud he burps.

Okay, okay, bye.

I'm going home

before Randy's mom
calls me again.

[chuckles] Okay.

I wish you could
take me with you.

Why, what happened?

Ted just broke up with me.

Aw, Chlo...

I'm sorry.
Are you okay?

You know what?

I'm actually really okay.

Because you're not
meant to be with Ted.

You're meant to be
with someone else,

and we both know who that is.

Thank you.

Randy?

Time to go.

Come on, chop, chop,

let's go.

[♪♪♪]

Hi.

Chloe!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Would you like to
have a glass with me?

Oh, I can't stay.

Um...

Have you seen Evan?

He had to go home.

Like, your home, or...?

Back to New York.

He said he had a work emergency.

He just left.

Thank you.

[♪♪♪]

You look nice.

[laughing]

Evan!

Evan, I...

I'm so sorry, I, uh...

I thought you were someone else.

It's okay.

Good night.

[♪♪♪]

[sniffles]

[chuckles] Aw...

Hey, Dasher.

It's just not my Christmas.

[sighing]

[chuckles fondly]

[♪♪♪]

I can't believe this will be
the last Christmas

we spend in this house.

I know.

But you're the one
that taught me,

home is where family is,

and you won't be far.

I know.

But you and I made
so many memories here.

And now it's time you and Russ
started making some.

Besides, I'm sure
you'll have plenty to share

seeing as how you're starting
your own bakery together.

True.

Hey, you and I are both making
some big changes this year.

Yeah.

Cheers to that.

Yeah. Cheers to that.

Yeah!

I'll miss you.

I'll miss you too.

[message alert chimes]
- 'Kay.

Oh, Mom,

I have to go put out a fire
at the fair.

Okay.

Oh, this looks so good!

Hey!

Love you.

- I love you too. Bye.
- Bye!

[♪♪♪]

[blowing]

Oh, wow,

you weren't kidding.

There are so many lights,

I don't know where
the short is coming from.

Okay, Ted, you're
a great organizer,

but you're not an electrician.

I'm texting Gary.

Hey, hon, here we go.

Strawberry burst
with a protein punch.

Oh, thanks, hon.

I'm sorry, Chloe.

I would have gotten
you something.

Oh, please, I've already had
my chocolate caramel grande.

That's a lot of sugar
to start your day.

Okay, done.

Do you need anything else?

I think I got this.

Great.

I'm headed to the office.

Leave it to Gary!

Yup, I'll leave it for Gary.

Except I did it.

Chloe?
A minute?

Sure.

Everything okay?

Everything is fine.

In fact, the fair is going
as smoothly as ever,

thanks to you.

And if there's
anything I can say

to convince you to stay,

please tell me how.

It's just time for me
to have a change.

I need to be on my own.

I understand.

So if you ever need
any advice or any help,

I'm always here.

Thank you.

This was a great idea,

having some of the ornaments

made by the kids.

Ooh, I thought of another idea.

What if each ornament
had a special Christmas wish

written on it by the maker?

That's why this fair
is always such a success.

Which is why we have
a surprise for you.

What is it?

Just follow me.

Ice cream?

[gasping] Gingerbread.

Candy?

Keep your eyes closed.

[laughing]
They're closed.

Small little right here.

Okay.

Whoa...

Now... open!

[Chloe gasps]

What do you think?

[♪♪♪]

Chloe, look!

[gasps]

That's beautiful.

[whispering] Did you write
your secret Christmas wish

inside?

I'm going to write it
on the ribbon

and then wrap it all around.

Gosh, that sounds perfect.

Is your mom here?

No, she's at home baking,

because Brent's family
is coming for Christmas.

Oh...

Well, is anyone else...

coming for Christmas?

I was wishing Uncle Evan
could come,

but Mom said
he may get a work promotion

and move to Canada.

Someplace where
they speak French.

That's not too far, is it?

It's far enough.

I better get going.

I hope your wish comes true.

[♪♪♪]

Wait, so, you're moving?

Yeah.

I've been looking for a while.

I already told my landlord.

So you know
where you want to go.

Oh, I did find
this cute place on Zillow.

Check it out.

So, it's 10 minutes from here,

it's right near the city center,

and I was thinking

I could turn this extra room

into my office.

It's perfect.

I don't know, I...

I shouldn't over-think it.

Hey, you're gonna be great
at running your own business.

I guess I just thought
at this point in my life,

I would have a partner.

You know?

Someone to go through
the ups and downs with.

You do.

[chuckling]

Come on.

[chuckling]

♪ My gift for you
is what you see ♪

♪ My heart won't fit

♪ We'll sit and watch
the children sing ♪

♪ And feel all the gratitude

Thank you.
Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Come on, Chloe, dance!

Oh, I-I can't.
I have to work.

Thank you.
Two! Oh, whoa!

All right!

Yeah.

Calling it a night?

Ho, ho, ho, hardly.

But what about you?

Shouldn't you
be in there dancing?

Eh, I'm not really
in the dancing mood.

Holiday blues?

You could say that.

Well, perhaps a Christmas wish

would make your spirits
a little lighter.

Okay...

I wish that...

the man I've fallen in love with

every Christmas
for the past four years

would come back.

Wow, you're right.

That is a tall order,

even for me.

[sighs]

But lucky for you,

the stars will guide you.

Keep your eye to the sky.

You never know
what you might find.

[chuckling merrily]
Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Good night, Mom.
Good night, Russ.

Night-night, sweetie.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Bye!

Bye!

[engine starts]

[♪♪♪]

[sighing]

Okay...

[chuckles]

Let's go.

Dasher!

Dasher!

Dasher!

Dasher!

Dasher!

Dasher!

Dasher!

[♪♪♪]

Uh...

Look who I found.

Evan, what...?

Thank you.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were in Montreal.

I was.

But then a few days
before Christmas,

I talked to Sara,

and I heard the disappointment
in her voice...

I couldn't do it.

I came back.

What about you?

Did you have a good
Christmas with Ted, or...?

Oh, no, Ted and I aren't, uh...

We deci... Well, he decided

that we were better as friends,

colleagues, really.

Wait, so you're not
engaged... or married?

Engaged?

What?

Did you think that...

Oh, my gosh,

you thought that...

No.

No, I couldn't,

I mean, I wouldn't.

I...

No, I didn't love Ted
the way that I...

I...

I love you?

Okay, listen,

before you say anything else,

I need to know,

are you going anywhere else?

Like to, I don't know,
New Zealand,

or the Arctic, or...?

I'm staying right here,

and I'm not letting
another Christmas go by

without you.

[chuckling happily]

I love you, Evan.

I love you too, Chloe.

Merry Christmas.

[laughs]

Merry Christmas.

[sleigh bells ringing]

[♪♪♪]

[kissing]

Oh!

[Priest]: We are all
gathered here

on this magical Christmas Eve

to witness
the greatest union of all,

the union of two hearts
in matrimony.

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You may seal it with a kiss.

[applause]

Whoo!

[everyone cheering and clapping]

We did it!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

[gasping]

It's snowing!

Wait, wait, let's get a picture.

Let's get a picture.

Okay.

Everybody get in.

[camera clicking]

Okay, everybody say
"Merry Christmas."

Merry Christmas!

[laughing]

Merry Christmas,
Mrs. Mathers.

Merry Christmas,
Mr. Mathers.
