Are you serious?

That style is super popular now.

So you're back.

, mom, you scared me.



Hi, Mrs. Moore.

Could you give us a minute,
Paulette?

Ok.

Sorry about the mess.

I had people over last night.

Someone's coming tomorrow
to clean it up.

Oh, you don't have anything
to do today?

Um, not really.

I have a reservation-

I have to cut you off.

What?!

I was happy to support you
when, you know,

you were figuring things out.

And then when you had a hard
time when dad passed.

But you need a push.

You need a big push.

Why?

Let's talk about these bills.

$3,500 at Saks.

Oh, I needed a new dress
for a charity benefit.

$1,000 for a monthly
spin cycle class.

Don't you want me to be healthy?

How many times did
you actually go?

And then we have a transfer of
funds for a huge amount of money

to a Suzanne Park?

Who's that?

I love you, but you're going
to have to figure out

how you're going
to support yourself.

What am I supposed to do?

You'll figure it out.

You're smart.

You're beautiful.

I have faith in you.

I've got a train to catch.

So Angie, you have until
the 24th of December.

Christmas Eve.

Give a kiss.

Bye.

Oh, Angie, that is rough.

♪ Oh night,

♪ Oh night divine.

[laughing]

Bravo.

You can't make me sing.

Let's keep opening presents
'cause I have to go meet Chris

in an hour.

Oh, I don't know why you just
didn't invite him over

for Christmas dinner.

Ahhhh!

Sophia we'll be good,
we promise.

Ok, yep.

That's why.

That's why.

Ok.

I don't know why you buy us
so much stuff.

We don't need all of this.

I'm just happy being home
with all of you.

That's what Christmas is
all about, isn't it?

I know, but you know me,

I can't help but get all of you
at least one special gift.

So I just got you these.

Sophia and Angie
and of course mommy.

[gasps]

Oh, Dad.

I hope you like it.

It's beautiful, thank you.

It's from 1934.

It's very rare.

I couldn't believe the condition
it was in.

It's beautiful.

Just remember, every time
you look at that ornament,

even though we've been
lucky enough

to have everything
we could ever need,

the good life isn't defined
by what you own.

It's about who you are.

In here.

Thank you.

You got plenty of that.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

May I speak with Ms. Moore,
please?

This is she.

Oh good, I'm glad I got you.

Uh, this is uh, Naresh Kumar
of Johnson, Harold and Kumar.

Yes?

I'm sorry to bother you
about this but I was looking

through your file and I see that
I'm missing your signature

on the receipt and release form
for your marriage trust.

What?

You know, after you were married
in June

you came into a sizeable trust,

uh, that your parents had set up
for you.

I'm missing your signature
on one of the forms.

A marriage trust?

You know, a nest egg.

To buy a home or
that sort of thing.

A pretty sizeable one, too,
I might add.

Don't you remember?

I talked with you and your
husband about this.

Right. Of course. Yes.

Um, how much was
in that trust, again?

[heavenly music]
♪ Hallelujah!

Ok, let me get this straight.

Your parents lawyer called

thinking you were your sister,
Sophia.

Yep.

Who got married a couple
months ago.

Uh-huh.

Telling you that
when you get married

you will inherit
a load of money.

That's right.

And your idea is...

I'm gonna find a man to marry
by Christmas.

That is...

brilliant!

[laughing]

How would you like
a lot of free money?

Great.

All you have to do is marry me.

Hello?

What do you mean, you don't
believe in marriage?

[gasps]

It wouldn't even be
a real marriage.

Hello?

[groans]

I don't know about
this anymore.

Don't give up now.

We'll find the perfect guy,
you'll rope him in by Christmas,

get the money,

and then it's you and me
to the south of France, baby.

[gasps]

Oh my.

Who is he?

Tyler.

My high school crush.

It says here he's... single.
It's perfect.

I guess so.

What's wrong?

He's just... he's the guy
you dream about dating.

He was the quarterback
of the football team.

The prom king.

Super popular but everyone
loved him.

God. He won't even remember
my name.

I was a nobody in high school.

This is great.

It'll be just like
in the movies.

You'll walk up to the guy
who didn't even know your name

in high school looking
totally fabulous

and he'll feel like an idiot
for not locking you down.

He'll take one look at you
and realize what you're worth.

I don't know.

It's a Christmas miracle!

And who is this cutie?

Oh, that's Gabe,
his best friend.

And?

Ugh, no way!

We were both such nerds
back in high school.

We used to study together
all the time.

He's like my brother.

Can we go back to Tyler,
please?

Fine, ok.

Oh no.

What?

It says he still lives
in Greenwood.

I haven't been back there
for Christmas in...

I guess I'm heading home.

[car sputters]

[engine fails]

Oh, come on.

Ugh,

Angie?

Yeah?

Wow, I haven't seen you
since high school.

Gabe? Hi.

Careful.

Car trouble?

Yeah, yeah.

It just stopped working.

I don't know anything
about cars.

You wanna head inside?

I'll call a tow.

That would be great.

Thanks.

Alright, thank you, sir. Bye.

They are on their way
to pick up your car now.

They're gonna take it
right to the shop.

Great.

Thank you.

Angie: Wow, so you still go
all out for Christmas, huh?

Gabe: Of course.

It's the best time of the year.

This diner has not changed
at all.

The town's pretty different,
though.

I saw those cute new restaurants
out on Oak Street.

And there's a Healthful
Foods now?

This town is so much better
than it used to be.

Are you hungry?

Gabe made the world's
best pancakes.

Sure, why not?

Ok.

So, you're um, working here now?

Yeah, my dad is retiring and
he asked me to come back

and help out for a while.

And, I mean, he doesn't
wanna retire,

but his arthritis has got really
bad in the last few months.

I am happy helping him.

Oh my

Yeah, it's my dad's recipe.

He actually got me into cooking

by telling me I'd never get
a girl unless I could cook.

I mean, he's right.

So um, how's Tyler?

Speak of the devil.

[heavenly choir music]
♪

Oh no!

Hey, what's up, man?

What's up, Ty?

How's it going?

Gabe: Good, how's it been?

Tyler: Oh, good. It's busy.

Gabe: Coffee?

Tyler: Yeah, please.

Get it together.

Get it together.

Get it together.

Alright, bro.

Alright, this'll get me through.

Cheers, bro. Thanks.

See you soon.

Alright.

Oh god.

What was that about?

Nothing.

Coffee.

Hot.

Um, I should probably get going.

Uh, how much do I owe you?

Oh, don't worry about it.

It's on the house.

It's Christmastime, right?

It's all about giving.

Wow, you've got a lot
of baggage.

Are you sure you don't need
a ride?

No, thanks.

I'm gonna just call a cab.

Ok.

If you're sure.

Yeah.

Alright.

Hey, um, MacMillan's is having
a party tomorrow night

to kick off the Christmas
season.

You should come.

That sounds fun.

♪

[groans]

Mom?

Angelica?

I'm home.

What a great surprise!

What happened to you?

Oh, nothing, just clumsy.

Hi.

Nice to see you.

You too.

Come on, sit.

What're you doing?

Oh, just writing out some
Christmas cards for my staff

and some local shop owners,
you know,

from your friendly
Greenwood mayor.

[laughs]

Are you gonna stay
for Christmas?

Well, I've thought a lot about
what you said

and I agree with you.

Ok, good.

I think I should be around
family this Christmas.

Remember what's really
important, you know?

Good.

Good, that makes me happy.

So it's true.

Hi, Sophia.

Mom texted me you were here.

I had to come see for myself.

How are you?

You know, just been-

I know mom's cutting you off.

I think it'll be really good
for you.

Is she cutting you off?

I haven't lived off
mom and dad in years.

I mean, you've barely come
to visit since Dad died.

I don't wanna talk about Dad.

Look, I know this has been
difficult for you.

We all miss him.

And you won't replace him
with all this stuff.

Mrs. B: So let's do some of
these great word problems, ok?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Angelica Moore?

Is that you?

Hi, Mrs. B.

I'm so sorry, I thought school
was over.

Oh, no problem.

These are my after school kids.

This is Angelica Moore,
one of my best students,

and I haven't seen her since
she moved to New York City.

Can you say "hi, Miss Moore"?

Class: Hi, Miss Moore.

Hi, everybody.

I'm sorry, I don't wanna
interrupt anything.

Oh, don't be silly.

Please, join us.

Oh, I know, kids,

Why don't we learn what
my former star student

has been doing

so that you can learn why it's
important to be good students?

You know, she's a whiz in math

and she was even in the honours
program in high school.

-Wow.
-Yeah.

That's amazing.

So, Angie, what is it
that you do now?

Um... well, I live in
New York City.

Have any of you ever been
to New York City?

A lot.

Right.

Um, what do you kids think
I do?

Are you a doctor?

No.

An artist?

No.

A scientist?

No.

A professional snowman builder?

I wish.

A cat lady?

No.

A consultant?

Yes, that one.

I consult people.

What's a consultant?

That's not even a real job.

It is, too.

I help people solve problems.

What kinds of problems?

Like um... what clothes to wear
or what restaurants to eat at

or who runs the door
at the hottest clubs.

Um... I should probably
excuse myself.

Oh, uh, just a second, Angie.

Kids, give me a minute.

Um, work on some of
your word problems.

I always knew
you'd be successful.

You know, some kids I worry
about but with you

I knew you would do great things
in your life.

I'm so very proud of you.

Thanks, Mrs. B.

Your class really meant
a lot to me.

See those two kids over there?

That's Sydney and Landon.

They remind me so much of you
and Gabe Hudson.

Remember how you were
at that age?

You were inseparable.

Oh, I remember.

Did you know around
Christmastime

Gabe and I used to write each
other's letters to Santa?

I guess I knew what Gabe wanted
before he did and vice versa.

[laughs]

You know, I always figured
you would end up together.

Me and Gabe?

That's crazy.

I know.

Crazy.

I don't know if you knew this
but Gabe teaches a cooking class

for the kids after school
on Tuesdays.

Both he and Tyler Davis give
so much time to the school.

You remember Tyler?

Uh, Tyler Davis?

That rings a bell.

You know, when we couldn't
afford two coaches

for the basketball team

Tyler stepped up and volunteered
his time.

It's so good to see you all
giving back to the community.

Well, I haven't missed
a charity ball

since I moved to New York City.

[laughs]

Well, I don't know if we have
any fancy charity balls

here in Greenwood but I did hear

that some of my former students
are getting together

at MacMillan's tonight for their
annual Christmas party.

I bet you know some of them.

Gabe will be there,
and Tyler and Raj-

Oh, Tyler will be there?

Mmmhmm.

Well, that's what he said
the other day after school.

I'm so sorry, I just realized
there's somewhere I have to be.

Thanks, Mrs. B.

Oh, one more thing, Angie.

Before you go I have
a big favour to ask,

if you have the time.

Do you think you could swing by
here after school

and help out with the kids?

Oh, you're so good in math and I
know that they would appreciate

learning from someone
who's been so successful.

Uh, well, I um...

Yes.

Sure.

Oh!

Anything you need,
I'm happy to help.

Wonderful!

I'll be in touch,

and you start working on some
challenging word problems.

You got it.

Alright, who solved
that word problem?

[ringing]

Paulette, hey!

How's the big city?

Um, missing you,
although not as much as I am.

How's the secret
operation going?

You know, it's right on track.

I'm meeting him tonight
at a bar,

so fingers crossed.

Amazing.

Oh, guess who I'm standing with.

Who?

It's Suzanne Park!

Suzanne, is that really you?

How are you?

Yes, it's me.

I'm good.

How are you doing?
How's home?

Oh, it's great so far.

Hey, listen.

I'm so sorry I couldn't make it
to your big event

but I hope my donation helped.

Oh, Angie.

Thank you so much, I cannot
thank you enough for that.

Your donation put us way past
our fundraising goal

and we were able to serve

so many needy families
this Thanksgiving.

Thank you.

We really couldn't have done it
without you.

Oh, I'm just so glad
I could help.

No, seriously.

It was a big favour, so
if you ever need anything,

anything at all,
you let me know.

Hey, can I have a favour?

I could use one.

No, just Angie.

Ok.

[laughs]

You guys.

Oh, hello.

Hi.

Angie?

Oh my, Krissy!

How are you?

I haven't talked to you in-

A long time.

Yeah.

What've you been up to?

Mommy!

Merry Christmas.

I'm Penelope.

Merry Christmas, Penelope.

How are you today?

[laughs]

That's what I've been up to.

Yeah, I didn't know what
I wanted to do at first

but then I had Penelope
and she changed everything.

Oh, and then last year

I was finally able to open
my own store.

I just wish I could get some
more young people in here, but-

Well, this stuff is super cute.

I'm looking for something
to wear to the MacMillan's

Christmas party tonight.

Oh, great.

I can help you with that.

And, if you don't mind
my saying so,

that mannequin in the window,

that style was super popular
last winter.

I think if you dress it
in something like this

you'll get more young people
coming in.

Hi, Krissy.

How'd I do this month?

Pretty good, actually.
A couple hundred.

One sec.

Ok.

Anything new?

Not this time,

still just trying to sell those
Christmas stockings.

Alright, here you go.

Thanks, Krissy.

Yep, have a good day.

You too.

What was that about?

Oh, you see this casing
over here?

Well, people can rent a shelf
and sell their old items.

It's mostly vintage jewellery,
that kind of thing,

but uh, it brings in some
extra cash for me, so...

Oh, cool.

Are you interested?

Oh,no.

No.

[laughs]

Ok.

Alright, so we gotta find you
an outfit.

[gasps]

Here.

Yep, try this one on.

It's perfect.

It'll look killer on you.

Look at this coat!

Isn't it so cute?

I have to get it, right?

Hi!

Can I get you a size?

Oh, wow.

Victoria Price.

No.

Oh. Oh...

Uh, Natalie Whitman.

No, it's Angie.

Angelica Moore?

From high school?

Oh, wait.

The smart girl?

Yeah.

Wow, you look uh... different.

Thank you.

Who is this lovely lady?

It's Angie, man,
Angelica Moore from high school.

I don't remember an Angelica.

Good to see you, too, Raj.

Ready for some eggnog?

Sure.

Careful.

It's got some kick to it.

I hope so.

When I think about the impact

that team sports had on me
growing up

I can't help but think that
all kids should have access

to great facilities and coaches
and equipment.

So the dream would be to open
my own gym

and have an after school program

where kids can come in
and play team sports

and build healthy relationships.

Wow, that sounds amazing.

It's really tough to start
your own business.

I mean, it's very expensive.

I bet it is.

So uh, how long are you
in town for?

Uh, through Christmas.

Unless I have a reason
to stay longer.

Oh, I love this song!

Oh, we should dance.

Oh, I-

Come on.

No. I really-

Come on. It'll be fun.

I'm not-

Careful.

Hi.

Hi.

Gabe!

What's up, man?

How are you?

Uh, we actually had
a busy rush tonight.

-Oh, nice.
-Yeah.

Congrats.

Um, where's the ladies room?

Oh, uh, I can show you.

Follow me.

Uh, will you watch my stuff
for me?

Yeah, sure.

[ringing]

Hello?

Who is this?

This is Tyler Davis.

Who is this?

Ah, the famous Tyler.

Why are you answering
Angie's phone?

Oh, are you in?

Are you so excited
to marry her

and get your share of
that inheritance?

What?

Oh, you did not know
about that yet.

Just kidding.

This isn't Paulette.

Bye!

Hey.

Hey.

You ok?

Yeah.

Uh, no actually.

Um, I gotta go.

What?

Dude, come on.

Uh, have a good night, man.

Alright.

See ya.

Hey.

Hey.

Um, where's Tyler?

He uh, he had to go.

Oh, that's too bad.

Hey, would you mind
driving me home?

My car is still in the shop.

Sure.

Thanks.

Angie: It's not my fault
Mrs. Portelli didn't know
proper grammar.

It was an English class.

Thank you so much
for driving me home

so I didn't have to
hitch hike.

Any time.

It's really good to have
you back, Angie.

I mean, not uh, I mean uh,
I mean not...

I mean, back here.

Hey, Paulette.

I saw you called last night.

What's up?

Yeah, I was just wondering
how things went with Tyler.

Uh, let's see.

It's going terrible.

Um, when I approached him
at the bar

he didn't even recognize me
so that was awkward.

Oh, well, whatever.

Some people are bad
with names.

I've forgotten my own name
once or twice.

So what happened next?

Um, well we finally got to
talking and Tyler was telling me

all about this after school
program he wants to start

and I thought it was going
really well

but then later he just
got up and left.

I had to get a ride home
from Gabe.

Oh, like Tyler's best friend,
Gabe?

Study buddy Gabe?

Yeah.

Interesting.

And you have no idea

why Tyler might have pulled
a vanishing act?

No, none.

I really thought it was
going well.

I have no idea why he just
got up and left like that.

Ok, great.

I mean, great, because
we still have a plan.

Everything's fine.

Don't be so worried.

Maybe this wasn't such
a good idea after all.

Mmm-mmm.

I don't like to hear
that mentality, Missy.

Eyes on the prize.

Eyes on the prize.

Don't make me come up there.

[laughs]

This town is way too small
for you.

Ok, love you, bye.

Yeah, exactly.

Wow, you guys are really good
at this.

Break out a word problem, Angie.

Make it a challenge.

Ah, ok.

Alright.

Mrs. B loves to look at
the decorated Christmas trees

in her neighbourhood.

On one side of her street there
are three beautifully decorated

Christmas trees and on
the other side of the street

there's one tree
but it's not decorated.

How many decorated trees
are there?

Class: Three!

Good job.

Come on, Miss Moore,
that's too easy.

Ugh, you're right.

I know.

How about a word problem about
Gabe's famous Christmas cookies?

Ok, let me think.

Got one.

Gabe sells bags of Christmas
cookies for $4 each.

He sells 30 bags of
tree-shaped cookies.

Does that look like a tree?

[laughs]

And he sells 21 bags
of star-shaped cookies.

How much money does Gabe make
for the tree-shaped cookies,

how much money does he make
for the star-shaped cookies,

and how much all together?

Good one, Angie.

And look how engaged they are.

Oh, good.

Except that word problem
made me hungry.

Maybe after this I'll go down
to Frank's Diner

and grab some of those cookies
for myself.

Well, save some for me.

And me.

And me.

You got it.

As long as you finish
the word problem first.

Hey, Tyler!

Oh, hi, Angie.

Hi.

I didn't even see you there.

So you just uh, stopping by
to say hi to Mrs. B?

Yeah.

Oh, well, sort of.

I'm um, I'm actually kind of
acting as,

like, a math tutor for her
after school kids.

Oh.

Really?

You know, I wouldn't have
guessed you would be...

What?

Oh, nothing.

Just you don't seem like the uh,
tutoring type of gal.

Well, there's a lot you don't
know about me.

Mmm.

So are you headed to the gym?

Yeah. Yeah.

I'm gonna um, uh-
take care of the kids.

Right.

So um, what happened at
MacMillan's the other night?

Is everything ok?

Oh, yeah, no.

Totally fine.

I just completely forgot
that I had this

really important thingy-
meeting to go to.

I'm really sorry about that.

Sorry I didn't say goodbye.

Oh, ok.

Um, hey, I was gonna go grab
a bite at Frank's Diner.

Do you wanna come?

Yeah.

Uh, no.

You know what?

I would love to, I just-
duty calls.

[blows whistle]

[laughs]

Right.

Ok, well I guess I'll see
you around.

Yeah.

Uh, I'll see ya.

Yeah.

Listen, I know this is a lot
to put on you.

But if by Christmas
things continue this way

we may be forced to close
this place up.

Well, I'm not gonna
let that happen.

[door opens, closes]

Angie: Hi, Gabe.

Angie Moore?

Hi, Mr. Hudson.

This is definitely
taking me back.

I'll never forget those late
nights making you two pancakes

while you studied for exams
in your favourite booth.

Yeah, the good old days.

This young lady looks hip.

Maybe she'll have some ideas.

No, Dad, she's-

What is he talking about?

It's nothing.

Look, the diner isn't doing
so good.

You know all those
cute restaurants

that you were talking about?

They're killing us.

I mean, this diner used
to be the place

that people came to eat,
you know?

I want to help you.

With what?

The diner.

I wanna help.

No, no, you don't have
to do that.

It's Christmas.

You probably have more important
things to do.

I want to.

If you remember, I'm pretty good
with numbers.

I could take a look at
your books if you want.

My father and I both know food
but we uh,

we don't know much about
running a business.

That was my grandfather's
strong point.

Alright then.

It's settled.

[slow jazzy Christmas music]
♪

♪

Alright, I need a break.

You wanna help me decorate
the cookies?

Sure.

Cool.

This is yours.

Ok.

Try and fix that one.

I wouldn't count on it.

So how are we looking?

You know, you're not in
as bad shape as you think.

There are just a few areas
you could be a little smarter.

Hit me.

Well, I noticed that you have
a lot of food waste

and uh, dish-ware expenses.

And judging by the fact that
while I was sitting here

Richie burned two steaks
and broke what seemed like
a dozen dishes.

I'm guessing he has something
to do with that.

Yeah, um, ok.

What're you suggesting?

It would actually be cheaper to
hire another chef to help you

with the cooking and just keep
Richie on as front of house.

Ok.

I like the sound of that.

There are a few other small ways
you could tweak your budget

and I can come up
with some ideas

to help give the diner
a face lift,

but I'll just need
a little time.

You know, I think the biggest
thing is people

have just forgotten what Frank's
Diner is all about, you know?

You should do something
to remind them who you are.

A charity dinner.

For those less fortunate
in the town,

hosted by you,
on Christmas Eve.

That sounds incredible, but
how are we gonna afford it?

We'll figure something out.

Guess that's the magic
of Christmas, huh?

[laughs]

You uh, you got a little
bit of icing.

I guess I'm not very good
at this, huh?

Eh.

Woah, Woah, Woah!

Special order for Mrs. Lawrence.

I'm sorry, I'm starving!

Come in here.

[laughs]
Oh my god.

You don't honestly expect me
to wear that.

My kitchen, my rules.

Yes, sir.

No way am I putting my hand

You're starting to like cooking,

Maybe.

I hope you saved room.

Oh, I always have room
for cocoa.

Thanks.

Are you cold?

Oh, thank you.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I'm sorry things are...

I didn't realize when
I came back

how hard it would be to get
everything back on track.

I just um, I don't wanna
disappoint him.

Believe me, I know a thing or
two about disappointing fathers.

How could your father
be disappointed in you?

Look at you.

I think that's why he'd be
disappointed in me.

You know, Christmastime used
to be my favourite time of year.

My dad would sit at the piano
and we would all gather around

and sing Christmas carols.

"O Holy Night"
was his favourite.

And we would all snuggle
under one blanket

and watch Miracle
on 34th Street.

And he always found
the perfect gifts.

The last present he gave me was
this amazing snowflake ornament.

God.

Sorry.

Well, hey, the um, the town tree
lighting is in a couple days.

That always cheers me up.

I don't think that'll work
for me.

Hey.

Listen.

You're gonna be ok.

I know what you're thinking.

[ringing]

Go for Suzanne.

Hey Suzanne, it's Angie.

Angie, hi.

Remember the other day
how you mentioned a favour?

Of course, anything for you.

Uh, you work for a restaurant
group that hires

a lot of young chefs, right?

Yeah, we do.

And we're always looking
for new and upcoming talent.

Great.

Suzanne, there is a local chef
here in Greenwood

that I really think
you should consider.

He runs his family's diner

but the place is seriously
a hidden gem.

I mean, you would not be able
to believe

the food this guy can cook.

The culinary miracles
he can perform.

I mean, my mouth
is watering right now

just thinking about
his pancakes.

Sorry, I'm a little bit
passionate about his food.

[laughs]

Angie, it sounds like
you're doing me a favour.

I would love to come
to Greenwood

and pick up some new talent
before the end of the year.

Oh, great!

Uh, thanks, Suzanne.

Hey, my family's having

a holiday get together
this Saturday

if you could make it up.

Gabe's catering the event

so it would be a great way
to try some of his food.

That sounds like a great idea.

And I could really use some time
outside of the city.

Ok, text me the info.

And Angie...

Yeah.

Thanks again.
You're a real angel.

[message alert]

Listen, there's something I
wanted to talk to you about.

Ok.

The reason why I left the party
so abruptly is

I picked up your phone
on accident

and I spoke to someone
named Pauline?

Paulette?

Anyway, she was telling me about
your intention to marry me.

Um, I...

At first I thought
you were crazy

and then I thought about it

when I was doing my morning
workout and...

I'm in.

What?

I know it's not the most
romantic reason

to get married or anything,

but I've been so preoccupied
trying to start my business,

you know, I haven't had
any time to date

or find that special someone.

Yeah?

So I feel like this way,
we get married,

you get the money, and then
you can help me out

by investing in my
after school program.

It's uh, it's a win-win.

A win-win.

Yeah.

So what do you say?
You in?

Yeah, I'm in.

Oh, yes!

Oh, my Christmas angel!

[ringing]

Hello?

You told him?!

Told who?

Tyler!

How could you tell him?

Well- but he answered your phone

and why else would he answer
your phone?

I assumed he was in.

I'm sorry.

Well, I guess I can't be
mad because it worked!

What?

It worked! He's in!

It worked because I told him?

I guess.

I probably would have chickened
out and never told him

if you hadn't spilled the beans.

[laughs]

It's a Christmas miracle!

I'm your little Christmas elf!

Oh my gosh, this is amazing!

Is this really happening?

Am I really getting married?

And to the hottest guy

[cheering]

Oh, my goodness gracious!

Oh, I'm feeling all the love.

Ok, Ms. Moore.

Why should we hire you
for this job?

Well, I'm a very hard worker

and I like to help people
solve problems.

Does this job require a lot of
grade school math?

We're the ones asking
the questions here.

Ok.

Sorry.

Ok, I have another question
for you.

What is your favourite animal
and why?

I don't think they're gonna ask
that in the interview.

Do you wanna get this job
or not?

Yes, I do.

Ok, favourite animal...

I don't know, I have so many,
it's hard to narrow it down.

The correct answer
is a reindeer.

Well, in an interview there are
no right or wrong answers.

It's more of a conversation.

That was a trick question,
and you passed.

Really?

Yeah.

You got this.

You're ready.

Thanks, guys.

Put 'er here.

Yeah.

I got this.

Yeah.

Thank you so much for helping me
these last few weeks.

I really appreciate it.

Honestly, I think it was you
and the kids that helped me.

Oh, I'm really sorry

that I'm gonna miss
your Christmas wedding.

We have travel plans to see
my husband's family in Michigan.

I wish you could be there, too,
but I totally understand.

Last minute weddings.

[laughs]

And Angie, don't forget the real
message of Christmas.

It's all about pure,
unconditional,

absolute selfless true love.

Thanks, Mrs. B.

And Angie?

Yeah?

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

[laughing]

I guess I should have worn
my Christmas sweater.

We have too much fun
around here.

We like to kid around.

It's our office holiday
party today.

Oh, how fun.

So you come very
highly recommended,

but I see here you don't have
a lot of office experience.

Is that going to be a problem?

Depends.

Look, I know I'm going to have
to prove myself

but I'm really ready to do that.

Just this last week alone
I helped Frank's Diner

with their financial planning
and I was crucial

in organizing their first ever
Christmas Eve charity dinner

by coordinating
with Julia Newton,

the CEO of Healthful Foods.

Oh, we know who she is.

I'm impressed.

But we know you live
in New York.

Are you really willing to leave
the big city

for small-town life?

Greenwood has charmed me
away from the big city.

Trust me, I'm as surprised
as you.

I never could have imagined
falling in love

with a place that I already knew
so well.

I ignored Greenwood and thought
it'd be crazy for us

to end up together
because we grew up together

and we have so much history

but then coming back here
and the food

and the conversation and
it just feels... right.

Are we still talking
about Greenwood?

[laughs]

Sorry, yes.

[laughs]

I'm just really excited
about this job.

Angie, can I be honest with you?

Of course.

We really think you'd be
a great fit here, but...

But?

But you have to say yes
to the job first.

[laughing]

Really?

He does this to everyone
we interview that gets a job.

I really thought.

I'm pretty convincing,
I know, right?

Thank you.

Like I said, we like to kid.

[laughs]

We have an entry level position
we'd love to offer you.

I'll email you the details.

Take the holiday to think
it over.

Thank you so much.

And one last question, uh,
that we ask everyone -

and this one is serious.

What is your favourite animal?

[crowd murmuring]

[door opens, closes]

Hey, what's going on here?

It's for the Christmas dinner.

Healthful Foods
donated everything.

[laughs]

You must be Gabe.

I'm Julia Newton,
CEO of Healthful Foods.

Wow, hi.

Hey, nice to meet you.

Um, thank you so much for this.

Don't thank me,
thank Angelica Moore.

Wha- Angie?

She convinced me to sponsor
the whole shebang.

She got a gift, that one.

Uh, I um, I have to go.

It was so nice to meet you,
Mrs. Newton.

Thank you so much.

Why don't you have breakfast
on us?

Richie's gonna take care of you,
ok?

I just- I have somewhere
I need to be.

Woah, where do you think
you're going?

I just need to talk to Angie
for a minute.

About what?

I mean, I'd really rather talk
to her.

Nope.

Sorry.

This is her special day and
I'm not gonna let you ruin it.

She is walking down
the aisle today

and there's nothing you can do
to stop her.

Look, I'm not trying
to stop her.

I just want to give
her something.

I'll give it to her.

What's that?

Oh, it's um, a present
from Tyler.

You know, a pre-wedding gift.

This is from Tyler?

Mmmhmm.

Angie, it's time.

Ok.

Are you sure you wanna do this?

You're gonna miss your cue.

Tyler, thank you.

This is amazing.

What is?

This necklace.

From the ornament?

That's not from me.

Is everything ok?

Tyler, I'm sorry.

I thought I could go through
with this but I can't.

It's because you're in love
with Gabe.

What?

It's obvious.

I'm sorry.

What about Gabe?

He doesn't feel that way
about me.

He does.

Trust me, he does, and I think
he has since high school.

For him to call in sick
to my wedding?

Red flag.

But I saw him with
a woman yesterday.

You mean Brianne?

That's his cousin.

She came into town yesterday.

Mom, I think I blew it.

Nope, not unless
you don't go and try.

You gotta go.

I've gotta go!

I couldn't do it!

I couldn't marry him.

You were right about me.

I had so many things
that I wanted,

but after my father died
all of that changed.

It was easier to just
not care about anything

and hide behind expensive things

rather than going after
what I really wanted

and risk getting hurt again.

But then I came back here

and spent time with my family
and with you,

and I found me again.

I'm in love with you, Gabe.

I love you, too, Angie.

Let's do it.

What?

Get married.

If that's what's gonna
make you happy, let's do it.

[laughs]

No.

What?

One day I hope we
do get married,

but I don't want some Christmas
deadline to make us rush things.
