Fit for Christmas (2022)

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Audrey, welcome back!

Let me guess, on your

way to teach a class?

Only way to start the day.

Tell Justin I said hi.

Step touch.

Up for two.

Twist.

Left.

Up for two.

Twist.

Right foot, go.

Darlene, nice!

Carl, shoulders down, remember?

Maria, you're k*lling it.

Come on, finish strong.

One more time. Strong

arms everybody.

Last four, here we go.

Four, three, two, one, whoo!

Yay!

You guys are so good.

Ah, it feels so good to be home.

Thank you so much.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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. Yeah.

I think I can carry some boxes.

Ahh! See ya

later. See ya.

Oh!

- Merry Christmas!

- Merry Christmas!

Oh! Oh!

Oh, gosh.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Are you okay?

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...

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...

Overpriced artificial holly.

Careful, this is mistletoe.

Not to be messed with.

Overly-passionate about

Christmas decor, noted.

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!

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.

You look

exactly the same.

Look at this.

I got nostalgic while

decorating last night.

Oh.

Look at us in our little tutus.

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.

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. Modest, too.

So what are we looking at here?

Some weights? Some plates?

These are terrible by the way.

Dance.

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.

Ooh. Christmas music?

Starting November 1st,

it's the only thing I play.

You ready? Okay.

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.

I know. We'll

talk.

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.

Everyone is invited.

Good drinks, great music.

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?

"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.

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.

And that dream could

become a reality in Mistletoe.

Jackie, right?

Do you ski?

I love to ski.

Takes one to snow one.

Powder to the people.

Oh, wow. Can you help me?

Where is the closest

hill to here?

An hour away.

An hour away. Not anymore.

Not anymore.

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

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.

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, sh**t.

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?

Pretty much the second

we decided to start trying

for a baby. 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.

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.

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?

Ruin it.

Oh, look at the time. I

should probably get going.

Don't wanna be late, get

on my teacher's bad side.

Thank you.

Delicious.

Jimmy? Lise? For the Gram?

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.

Hey, everybody.

So, as you can see,

Mr. Resort has decided to

join us for class today.

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.

That's a little vague.

Can you be more specific?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Music. How about... The music.

- The music?

- 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.

Turtles? Yeah. Turtles... No?

Doves, doves.Swans.

Swans?

Turtle... turtle

swans. Turtle swans?

Yeah. Okay, everybody,

let's pick up the pace.

You're kidding.

So you melt the butter first?

Yes. That's what

gives it the texture.

No. I had no idea.

You're really

this interested in baking?

Well, mostly the eating, but

you gotta start somewhere.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, excuse me.

I gotta take this. We

will talk baking later.

Anytime.

Okay. Bye, Darlene. Ciao.

Hello?

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

You picked the perfect tree.

And don't forget,

sign up on the donation page

to help save the rec center.

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.

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...

The point is, we're

gonna need some food.

Food. I'll get us

some cheese fries.

Thank you.

Oh! Oh!

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.

Can you believe him?

So, I guess no

cheese fries then.

Who's ready

to use their brains?

Yeah!

Welcome, everyone,

welcome to Mistletoe's

monthly trivia night.

Whoo!

Please write your

answers legibly.

We don't want another

Santa Fanta debacle.

Here we go.

What year did the

town of Mistletoe

eliminate the sales

tax on Christmas trees?

1931 is the correct answer.

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.

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.

What could they possibly be laughing

about? Audrey? Audrey? Audrey?

Oh. Uh, uh, uh, uh... desert.

Let's see 'em.

When did they even have

time to write all those?

We cannot let him win!

And so it looks like

it's coming down to...

We Noel It All...

Yes! Yes!

And Too Cool For Yule.

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?

No way they know this, Fred

and Maureen don't have kids!

Kickline wins it!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

We Noel It All are the winners!

We won! We won!

We won! We won!

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.

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.

Hi. Kickline Kick-a-thon.

Now remember, baking is

both, an art and a science.

Hello.Huh.

Hey, Audrey. You're

just in time.

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.

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.

Okay, sure.

I'll just grab an

apron. Oh, got one!

Here.

Now this recipe was handed

down to me by my mother.

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, sh**t. 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?

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...

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.

Hello?

I've got some good news for you.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Kickline Fundraiser!

A few kicks each and

we save the rec center!

Jim. Yeah?

Will you watch my

booth for a second?

Sure. Why?

Somebody's

gotta stop him.

Okay.

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.

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.

And you know Carl from class.

Hello,

Carl.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Warming

up, Griffin. All right.

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.

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?

Ooh!

I am so sorry but if I make this

I win the entire thing,

the Mistletoe Toss?

You won't.Okay.

Oh, yeah!

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?

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.

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.

Ooh!

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. 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.

You expecting anybody?

Tell him I'm not home.

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.

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?

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.

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.

I'm not

trying to stop you.

Okay, I am.

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.

I can't be friends with

somebody who says poinsett-ia.

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.

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.

I don't know who that is.

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.

Ah, hi.

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.

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.

You did what now?

Don't worry about it.Okay.

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?

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?

The... Oh, the...

Griff wears a scarf, so...

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.

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.

Told you so.

It means nothing!

Thank you. Oh!

Oh, sh**t. Oh,

sh**t. I'm so sorry.

It's me. You know,

I wasn't looking.

No, no. I was

looking down at my papers.

Here's your card.

Yes. Thank you.

Oh. Okay. You.You.

Grant, right?

No, uh, close.

It's, uh, Griffin.

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.

All right, there you go.Great.

No. Actually, you

know what? No.

Oh, come on! No.

Left side!

Out and in!

Right hip!

Step touch!

Box step!

One more time!

Step touch!

Box step!

And ready, finish!

Whoo!

Okay. Great job, everybody.

Thank you, thank you!

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?

Yeah. Hmm.

Christmas spirit finally

rubbing off on you.

Yeah.

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? 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.

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.

No.

Loves it.Yeah.

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.

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.

Great.Okay.

I'll, uh... I'll go

help with more cameras.

Thank you.

Yeah. Dad, hey, thanks

for calling me back.

I just wanna float

something by you.

sh**t.

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...

All right, just... Just

forget I called. All right?

Thanks, Dad.

Okay, T-minus two

minutes! Places, everyone!

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.

I'm glad you're here.

Come on, get in line.

All right. Let's line kick.Go.

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!

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!

Step, kick! Step, kick!

Whoo!

Step kick! Step left!

Step right! Step left!

Whoo! Keep going!

Keep up, everybody!

Whoo!

That's right, Mistletoe!

Keep going! Almost there!

Here we go! Last four.

Three, two, one and pose!

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.

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.

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.

Look at Jim!

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.

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.

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. Cheers.

Griffin.Cheers.

Cheers.Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love you, Audrey Parker.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Bob?

Aye.

And I'm a nay.

Three ayes, three nays.

That leaves Jackie.

Aye.

The ayes have it.

I'm so sorry.

I need some air.

I know you probably

hate me right now.

But I wanted to

ask you something.

Dumping money on the

problem at the last minute.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Uh, excuse me, everyone,

just for a moment.

If I could just

have your attention.

It'll just take a second.

First of all...

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!

Yes!

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.

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... Talk to her.

Um, I don't know how

to do that anymore.

Go ask her to dance.Uh...

Go.All right.

Go!

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?

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.

Wow. Uh, let's

name him Griffin.

What? Joke. I'm

joking. It's a joke.

Who knew Griffin Weston could

throw a Christmas party?

Well,

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.

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.

Really? Yeah.

That's great.

I mean... I'm sorry.

I mean, "Oh, no."

Are you okay?

Stop.

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.

I have to stay here to make sure

that my vision becomes a reality.

So we'll both be

here... together.

Yeah.Hmm.

Well, would

you look at that!

Mistletoe.

Someone once told me it's

not to be messed with.
