Hey, kids, breakfast!

Piper, up!

Hey, wakey-wakey.
Time for eggies.

Mom, can I have more juice?

Mm-hmm.

Hello, Jasper.
Great to hear from you.

Mm-hmm, yes, the tower's
listing is going up today.

'Ho-ho-ho.'

- Hi, Greg.
- Hey, Kate.

After you.

- Good morning, Chris.
- Good morning.

Any big holiday plans?

Yeah, I'm on Uncle Greg duty
with my brother's family

in Evergreen.

Oh, that's close
to where I'm from.

- Littleton.
- Yeah?

So, are you going home
for Christmas?

No, I'll be here.

Dad usually spends it
with my sister's family

whom I love,
don't get me wrong.

We're just not that close.

Okay, Emily, what's this gossip
you texted me about?

You know how
our office manager has been

talking about that novel
she's writing?

"Dogsleds To Dallas?" Yes.

She sold it.

"Dogsleds to Dallas?"

Wow! Good for her.

- And she quit.
- Quit?

Then who's gonna handle
the office Christmas party?

Kate, do you have a second?

Mrs. Aldrin, I appreciate
your faith in my ability

to tackle a challenge, but I am
the senior vice president

of project development,
not an office manager.

The point is, Kate,
we have two weeks.

The venue is paid for

and Chez Lena's is too expensive
to just write off.

Which doesn't address my point.

I'm asking you because
when it comes to dedication

'organization and detail'

you run circles around
everybody else in this office.

I recognize it's not ideal

but if anyone can do it,
it's Kate Lockhart.

The Jasper Tower Project--

Will be temporarily reassigned.

I've worked hard on that,
it's my baby.

And it still will be.

'After the holidays.'

'Besides, it's Christmas.'

The chances of anything
going wrong are minimal.

You are going to be fine, Kate.

I have full confidence
that you'll figure it out.

I don't have a clue what to do

because I don't care about
the office Christmas party.

'I care about
the Jasper Project.'

Everyone just counts the minutes

till they leave
a Christmas party anyway.

I'm sure you'll think
of something.

I shouldn't have to.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

One of my students..

There's always an excuse, Chris.

I don't have unlimited time.

What's that?

Oh, some new ideas
I was working on.

Chris, why do you insist on
trying to change it every year?

Winter Wonderland
is perfected.

The community likes it as is.

Well, yeah, I just thought
it would be nice if--

You know what's nice?

We just landed a new sponsor
with real money.

And I know it's late
in the game, but I'm not

saying no to this kind of money.

- It can help all year around.
- Who is it?

The father of a new student

who's starting mid-term.

He wants to make sure his son
gets off on the right foot.

See.

Wow, heh.

That's a really big foot.

Hey, Em, can you make a note
on my calendar

that I'm having brunch
with dad tomorrow?

Thanks.

So, I finally get my dad
in my neck of the woods.

- It's been ages.
- Oh, it hasn't been that long.

And it's less than an hour.

And you know that road
does go both ways.

Yes, I know, but..

- Uh..
- Hi.

Hi!

I thought it was going
to just be the two of us.

And hi to you, too.

Yeah.

- Oh, paint.
- Oh.

So, what's going on, dad?

Well, yesterday,
I was going through the attic

getting out
all the Christmas decorations

and I saw something
that reminded me

'of a promise you both made
to your mother.'

'So, welcome
to Christmas sister brunch.'

'The brunch both of you promised
your mother you would have'

and unless I'd missed something,
you haven't had it in two years.

- I've been..
- Busy.

Yeah. Well, you're not busy now.

Okay, I guess it's just us.

Yup.

So, enjoy your brunch..

...and keep the promise that
you made to your late mother.

Got it?

- Got it.
- Got it.

Anyway, Merry Christmas,
my darling daughters.

- Nice sweater.
- Oh.

Nice everything.

So how are Piper and Gabe?

Oh, good. I guess.

- You guess?
- Wha.. I..

Gabe's either running around
like a human tornado or sleeping

and I've only seen the top
of Piper's head this year.

I mean, I feel silly saying
that I miss them

since they live with me,
but I...I do.

Is Blake good
about seeing them?

Oh, he is. Yeah.

But he's, he's getting remarried

so he's kind of distracted.

But he has them
this week though.

- Are you okay with--
- Oh, please. Yeah.

Sometimes I like his fiancée
more than him.

'It's just..'

Oh, it reminds me
that I haven't been on a date

in a really long time.

Mm.

Well, at least there's somethin'
we still have in common.

Oh, this place is kinda fancy.

So, how's work?

Good, except our office manager
quit unexpectedly

and now I'm in charge
of the Christmas party.

Oh. Well, that's fun.

You are the most organized.

Apparently.

Well, it's good to know I'm not
the only one with work issues.

Work issues? You've been
at the same school forever.

I thought you'd be
on autopilot by now.

Oh, it's Winter Wonderland.

Which is the same every year.

There's a new sponsor
donating big bucks

so Principal Sumner's
extra involved.

Not that he'll ever
let it be that different.

Ugh!
I wish I was doing your party.

Then at least I could coast.

Ice Rink, Hot Cocoa Corner,
Santa's Village.

Anyone could do it.

- Oh, really?
- Really.

Try planning a party for stuffy
real estate developers.

Easy.

- Oh, really?
- Really.

Especially with all
the free time I'd have

since I wouldn't be responsible

for the feed and care
of two other humans.

Piper and Gabe
are low maintenance.

I can be the mom.

I'd love to see you in your
fancy designer everything

trying to be the mom.

My fancy designer?

What does that even mean?

You should try living alone

'in the city
with a high-pressure job.'

It's not all glamor
and designer shoes.

Jimmy Choos?

Okay, fine.
I have nice shoes.

But you still don't understand
how hard my life really is.

You have carpools
and teacher lounges.

Your weekends are spa visits
and fancy parties.

That is all work.
I have no personal life.

'I'm exhausted.'

Quite frankly,
running Winter Wonderland

in my sweat pants
sounds like a vacation.

Oh. That is so typical.

You have never appreciated
how hard it is to do what I do.

I would love to be
pampered and pretty all day

while planning a party
with full creative control.

I would rock it.

- Really?
- Really.

Prove it.

How? Doing..

Oh, come on.

We haven't done that since
the infamous Tom Kinder fiasco.

- We'd get caught.
- I wouldn't.

Piper and Gabe would know.

Although, it is Blake's week
to have them.

No.. This is absurd.

Whatever you think.

Don't you have a ton
of meetings?

No.

Miss Aldrin made sure this party

is my number one project.

Is school almost out?

Today was the first day break.

It could be fun.

- It would be crazy.
- Maybe.

But mom did want us
to spend more time together.

'We'll do a test
run this afternoon.'

'If at any point it looks like
we're gonna get caught'

'we end this.'

'Ugh, are these a size two?'

'Just say you
spilled something.'

Stand up straighter.
Look..

Bossy?

Authoritative.

Boy, you never listened to mom.

Seriously?

Well, check your e-mail.

I sent you a quick note
on what you can expect.

"A quick note?"

Those are bullet points,
and it's color coordinated.

Well, it will
get you through the day.

Is what I gave you enough?

I'll figure it out.
We'll check in after.

Let me help.

Oh.

Jeans, huh?

Oh, I, I, um,
I spilled coffee.

Happens to me all the time.

There you go.

- Thank you.
- Sure thing.

- See you, Kate.
- Yeah. Thanks...you.

Chris, you're on time
for a change.

Principal Sumner,
you're not alone.

No, I am not.

Chris Dixon, I want you to meet
our generous new sponsor

'Tom Kinder.'

Hello.

I'm sorry, it..
You just look familiar.

Have we met before?

Um, I don't,
I don't know where from.

- I felt..
- Um..

But maybe you've met my sister.

Kate Lockhart?

Well, that's funny.

I-I have met your sister
a-a long time ago.

Chris is the head
of our Art Department.

And she's been a part of
the Winter Wonderland planning

for the past ten years.

- Oh, well, that explains it.
- Explains what?

Well, I've been lookin'
at the plans

for the carnival for this year

and I realized
that they look exactly the same

as all the plans
for the last decade.

Well, it's perfected.

Well, I would argue that
they're a little bit...stale.

But I figure with, uh,
my donation

we can, we can expand this year.

- That's a wonderful idea.
- Ah, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Um, the event is
less than two weeks away

from being executed.

- Plenty of time.
- Yeah, we'll..

We're gonna make it a priority.

- 'The top.'
- Oh, hold on--

You know what we should do?

We should get together,
go over some ideas.

- Get together?
- Great!

Oh, wait,
my in-laws are in town.

Chris will go to your place.

Uh, dad, we're gonna be late
for dinner.

Dylan, come here,
I want you to meet, uh

two members of your new
school's faculty.

This is Principal Sumner

and this is Ms. Dixon.

Dylan Kinder, uh,
new freshman this year.

- A delight to meet you, Dylan.
- Hi, Dylan.

Well, we're going over
to my cousin's place for dinner

um, so, what do you think
tomorrow afternoon?

- 'Perfect.'
- Okay. Good.

Well, nice to meet you,
uh, Chris. Okay.

That went well!

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Huh! Oh.

- You okay?
- Yes, fine.

How may I help you, uh, Emily?

Um...I was just coming

to make sure you got the calls

that came in while you were
at your brunch.

Yes, thank you.

Seriously, are you okay?

I-I'm just looking
at this Christmas party

the office manager left.

She hardly did anything.

- Hey, Greg.
- Hey.

'So, I noticed this
little puppy didn't quite'

make it back into the tote.

- Oh! Ooh.
- Oh!

'Mm.'

I'm fine.

You should probably ice that.

Yeah. Ooh!

Oh, hey, the rumors are true,
huh?

You're in charge
of the Christmas party?

Oh, well,
somebody has to do it.

Good luck. And try to avoid
Poetry Slam Santa again.

That's a thing?

You don't remember?

Oh, I..
Yeah, must have blocked it out.

Wise.

Um, hey, d-do you,
uh, have any suggestions

for what the people might like?

I mean, I-I have a lot of ideas.

I have a ton of ideas,
but you know the office better.

I doubt that. You've been here
longer than I have.

Oh, um,
you have a little s-smudge.

Oh.

Hazards of being an architect
who likes to do things

the old-fashioned way.

Excuse me.

Your sister called,
and she wants you

to call her back
from your cell from

and I'm quoting,
"A secure location, ASAP."

What.. How much
does he wanna change it?

Well, more than I bargained for,
which was none.

Apparently,
Tom has all these ideas.

Are you sure
this is the same guy

you had a crush on
all those years ago?

Positive.
He recognized me too.

Well, as you.

And did your insta-crush return
like when you guys were young?

No. What..
No, of course not.

Well, I remember
that you were really upset

when he stood you up.

Yeah, that was a long time ago.

Okay, well, anyway,
we'll end the switch.

And I'll probably
get to know him pretty well

since we'll be working
at the carnival together.

So if you want,
I can just..

I can introduce you two
when it's over.

- Or..
- 'Or?'

We could keep going.

Wait, what do..
What do you mean? You want..

You want to keep going
with the switch?

Well...yeah, I mean,
I've been wanting to hang around

in sweats for a while.

Ha-ha. No, seriously.
The changes.

Are you up for that?

Yeah, I don't think
it'll be that big of a deal.

Are you up for keeping going?

Oh..

Absolutely.

'Oh, I forgot how much
Littleton likes to do up Christmas.'

Our lives could not be
any more different.

'No kidding.'

'When did that happen?'

'High school. Senior Year.'

We took different paths.

But we kept on going.

Last chance. Are you sure
you wanna go through with this?

Well, it's only
a few days, and..

Well, after tomorrow, Gabe
and Piper will be with Blake

'so you're all set.'

Good.

'Are you okay?'

I am.

Alright.
Well, good luck, Chris.

Good luck, Kate.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Hi, Happy.

- Oh, hey, Piper.
- Hey.

We're out of peanut butter.

And so it begins.

Mm.

Oh.

Oh, Chris.

Kate.

Wow.

Hmm.

And this I could get used to.

Huh! Now I could get
used to this.

I promise,
the food's the same.

Okay.

"Feed dog, breakfast.."

Oh.

Healthy.

How do you even cook that?

Oh! Shoot!

Oh.

Don't judge me.

Oh, good morning.

Sorry, the bacon's
a little bit...burnt.

- So--
- Can I have a glass of milk?

Sure.

So, your father, he's--

Strawberry and yogurt, please.

What? Who..

Oh, sure, yogurt.

- Okay. So--
- Oh, that's two percent.

I drink whole milk.

Right. Whole milk.

I need a spoon.

Mm-hmm.

Where's the eggs?

Eggs!

Mm-hmm.

Uh..

Now, before you tell me
this isn't how you eat your eggs

your father is going to be here
any minute to pick you up

and I hope that you've packed

and I'm sure you're gonna
have a great time

and I love you both.

Dad's not coming.

- He's not?
- Change of plans.

- 'He can't take us this week.'
- What?

So, we'll be here, all week.

Here, all week?

Oh. Wow! That's unexpected.

I'm gonna make a phone call.

To who?

Uh, my sister.

I'm going to see if my sister's
up for a visit.

- She's too busy.
- Aunt Kate's always too busy.

What.. What..
No, that's not how it is.

Aunt Kate..
Her life is..

She's..

Okay, she's really busy, but
she loves you very, very much.

It doesn't matter.

- It doesn't matter?
- Because you're here.

And we're so excited to spend

all of our vacation time
together.

- Playing video games.
- And shopping.

- Ice skating.
- Singing carols.

Wait a second.

Okay, okay, when did you guys
figure it out?

When mom called to tell us.

- She told you?
- We would've known.

You're twins.
You're not clones.

Well, okay, you can ha-ha
all the way to your father's.

- Oh, no, that part was true.
- We're staying here.

There's no way
we'd miss this.

Of course, I told them. I'm not
gonna lie to my children.

Yeah, but now they wanna
stay here all week.

How am I supposed to juggle them
and Winter Wonderland?

Well, you're the one who
wanted to walk in my shoes. Oh.

Um, but hey, if you don't think
you can handle it..

Uh, that tactic
does not work on me.

Well, let me know
'cause I'm almost there.

Let me just see how the meeting
with Tom and Sumner goes.

Okay.

Okay. You guys wanna stay here?
That's fine.

But there are gonna be
some changes.

- That's a lot of pink.
- Ha-ha.

I'm not sure what to get my
niece, so I'm ridin' the cliché.

- Oh, how old is she?
- Uh, eight.

Oh, yeah,
that's a tough age.

'Cause they're
out of the cuddly stage

but they haven't quite entered
the terrible teens yet.

I didn't know
you knew so much about kids.

Well, my sister
has two children.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

She talks about them
all the time.

Which reminds me,
I need to go shopping for them.

So no gift cards
from Aunty Kate?

Uh, no, no.

Aunty Kate is gonna be
a lot more involved this year.

What's that?

I believe
they're known as towels.

I thought we could
fold them together.

A little family bonding time.

But mom does laundry.

Well, your mother's not here.

And I'm not doing it alone.

Hey! Not much, hold on.

Hey, pal, it's time
to earn your keep.

Whoa! What's that?

Oh, it's my
Christmas Dream Board.

Yeah, I have so many ideas
stored up

but I have to visualize
before I actualize.

Hey, go..

- Oh, hey, a dream board. Cool!
- Yeah.

Hey, so, um, no biggie,
I'm gonna cut out early though.

Go shopping for my niece.
You know, it's kinda slow.

And I thought maybe
you'd like to come with.

In that way you could shop
for your niece and nephew too

and maybe help out
a poor uncle?

- I'll grab my purse.
- Okay.

Hey, why don't you just
put those in the dishwasher?

It's broken.

Mom's been meaning
to get it fixed

but she's been too busy.

Oh, that will not do.

- Have a nice day.
- Thank you.

What's that?

Cookies for today's meeting.

Ah, ah, ah.

Why didn't you make 'em
yourself?

You're adorable.

So, uh, I checked
with my brother

apparently Zoe's going through
a big science phase lately.

- Oh, a STEM girl.
- Hm?

Science, technology,
engineering, and math.

Yeah.

Yeah, have you considered
getting her a tour

of the Denver Museum
For Nature And Science?

It's really cool. Yeah.

I could get you
a schedule if you want.

And she's artistic too.

What other secrets
are you hiding, Kate Lockhart?

Winter Wonderland is less than
two weeks away now.

Embrace the opportunity
for change next year.

Yes, the time crunch
is an issue

but that doesn't mean
we can't make some improvements.

Take the ice skating rink.

What's wrong with
the ice skating rink?

People love ice skating.

Chris, we agreed
the ice rink was out

the first year you took over.

We did?

I mean, of-of course we did.

- Why?
- It was too expensive.

Well, now it's not.

Uh, just out of curiosity

why is having
the ice skating rink back

so important to you?

You know, I have fond memories
of ice skating there.

Knock, knock! It's me.

Katie, what are you doin' here?

Well.. Dad.

We really have to
get his eyesight

prescription pre-checked.

It's Chris!

Excuse us one second.

Dad, how did you know it was me?

I'm your father.

It's literally my job
to tell you apart.

What's goin' on?

Okay, remember in
Mrs. Paulson's trig class

when Chris and I,
we kinda got caught?

Oh, you're not doin'
the twin sister switch again?

Well, you said you wanted us
to spend more time together.

Yeah, but I thought
you'd go shopping

or get your nail done,
not this.

It's just until
Winter Wonderland

and then we're switching back.

But why?

Well, Chris was comparing
how my life

is so much easier than hers.

Oh, and then you countered
with her life is easier.

Yeah, but then,
it turned into a way

for Chris to have
the freedom to plan

the kind of Christmas party
she's always wanted to

and, and I could get out
of planning my office one.

But at this point, I think
it wasn't the best decision

because I may have gone from
the frying pan into the fire.

Sorry to interrupt.

I have to go pick up Dylan
from my cousin's.

Uh, Tom Kinder,
this is my father, Ed Lockhart.

- Nice to meet you, sir.
- Likewise.

I'm just gonna go in
and say hi to the kids, Chris.

How bad is your dad's eyesight?

Well, in his defense

Kate and I are identical twins.

Twins?

Yeah, didn't I..

I mean,
didn't Kate tell you that

she had an identical
twin sister?

Oh, man,
I only met her the one time

but I think that's something
that I would've recalled.

Half your lights are out.

Oh. Well, they're gonna
have to stay that way.

Since someone decided

to make some improvements
to Winter Wonderland

at the last minute.

I'll make it up to ya.

See ya.

Looks like I did
more shopping than you.

So, how goes
the Christmas party planning?

Uh, slow.

Do you need
some help with that?

'I mean,
it's the least I can do'

after you pitched in
for me today.

- Well, I--
- 'I mean..'

'Unless you'd prefer
to work alone'

which I totally respect.

I just, um..

I think we w-work well together.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Morning.
- Oh, good morning.

- What's that?
- This is pressed juice.

Your arteries
will thank me later.

Tom.

I figured fixing
your Christmas lights

was the least I could do.

- Hello.
- Hey.

Last minute notice,
I know, but.. Oh, thanks, Mas.

Are you available
for some lunch?

'Maybe some Christmas party
brainstorming?'

I've had these ideas buzzin'
through my head all morning.

We're running short on time.

Um, yeah, sure,
I'm-I'm just decorating my sis..

Um, the condo.

I could swing by,
I mean, unless..

- Am I being too pushy?
- No. Uh..

No, I'd love the company.

Alright. I'll be right there.

Oh.

Oh, how did you
fix it so fast?

Well, they call me
the Christmas Lights Whisperer.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Tom fixed the lights.

Oh, did he now.

Are you still up
for the Lights Walk?

I wanna get a star for the top
of the tree this year.

- Sure.
- Lights Walk?

It's a tradition here
in Littleton.

Uh, Maple Street
is blocked off at both ends

and people come for the music
and the samples at the stores.

Why do they call it
a Lights Walk?

Because all the stores
like to try to outdo each other

with Christmas light
decorations.

- Hah!
- Mm-hmm.

Something you might appreciate.

- Okay.
- You wanna come along with us?

I'm sure my daughter won't mind.

Well, I-I would,
I would love to.

Great.

- Okay..
- Perfect spot.

Oh, so here is my list.

Oh, great.
And here are my ideas.

Hmm.

"Christmas wish tree?"

Yeah, I've always wanted
to do that.

Everyone writes their wish
on a cutout shaped like a star

and hangs it on the tree.

- What?
- I just-I just, I..

I didn't expect this from you.

Well, what did you expect?

Uh, canapés and string quartets.

- Oh.
- I like this side of you.

- "Ugly sweater contest."
- A classic.

- "Secret Santa!"
- "Secret Santa!"

Here you go.

- Thank you.
- Merry Christmas.

This is the kind of experience
I wanted

when we moved here from LA.

Really? How so?

You know, for one thing
it feels like Christmas.

And also, I like small towns,
you know.

Growing up here,
all I wanted to do

was get out of Littleton.

Denver was so exciting
by comparison.

Shopping and restaurants,
the theater.

Denver is less than
an hour away. I mean, come on.

In LA, that's like,
uh, it's a daily commute.

Do you go into Denver often?

Yeah, all the time. I mean,
that's why I like it here.

It's just, it's got
the best of both worlds.

Ah! I guess I never really
thought about it like that.

- Now you can.
- 'Mom.'

Mom?

- Mom!
- Oh, yes.

- The tree topper.
- How do you like it?

I think it's perfect.

Oh, the gingerbread architecture
idea is gonna be so much fun.

And I'll make sure
that all the proceeds

go to Habitat For Humanity.

Alright, I can come up
with the dimensions

but I need the gingerbread.

Oh, I can do it.
I love baking.

Who are you and what have you
done with Kate Lockhart?

I.. I could tell you.

But I like you
much better alive.

- That's my sister.
- Okay, talk to you soon.

Okay.

Hey, how are the kids doin'?

Oh, yeah, they're fine.
I just called to check in.

Forgot my keys.

Whoa! You guys really do
look alike.

Uh, hi, I'm Greg.

Hi, Greg.

Okay, well, exit, take two.
Bye, Chris.

- See ya, Kate.
- Bye.

'Chris.'

What is Greg doing in my condo?

What? He's helping me
plan the party.

Chris, he thinks you're me.

Well, Tom thinks you're me.

'Uh, this is a problem.'

We agreed
that we wouldn't let

the switch affect
our real lives.

I know.

'So that only means one thing.'

No romance.
For either of us.

Yeah. It's the only way.

'Agreed?'

Agreed.

Hey, Leo's mom will be here
any second to pick you up.

Here is some money
for popcorn and water.

No soda. That stuff will
rot you from the inside out.

- True story.
- I'm ten years old.

I'll have time to recover.

- Hey, stand right here.
- 'I'll be over in 15.'

'I have so much last
minute shopping to do.'

Hey, nobody understands
the lure of technology

more than I do.

Ten seconds.
You can do it.

Zoe, let me call you back.

You should be in it.

- Me?
- Yeah, you're family.

Ten seconds.
You can do it.

Okay, on the count of three,
say, "Merry Christmas!"

One, two, three.

Merry Christmas!

Hey.

- Secret Santa?
- Mm-hm.

Ah.

Hey, uh, you
wanna grab some lunch?

You know, we could talk
about the dimensions

for those gingerbread templates.

- I can't.
- Okay.

- Everything okay?
- Um..

Yeah, it...it's Piper and Gabe.

'Ah, they're cute. Wait,
they look just like you.'

I-I guess
that's not surprising.

I just miss them so much.

I'm-I'm gonna call
and check up on them.

They're lucky to have
an aunt like you.

That is great news.
I'll be by later to take a look.

Thank you.

Oh, you are exactly right.

I do need a walk.

Hey!

Hi.

Another thing I like
about small towns.

You get to run
into people you like.

- And their dogs.
- Oh, do you have a dog?

No, I do not.

Hmm. Well, adopt.
Don't shop.

Absolutely.

Wh-what, uh,
shelter did you use?

Uh, actually,
my sister got him.

- Kate?
- Mm-hm.

- That was nice of her.
- Hey, uh..

You will be happy to know
that the ice rink

is being constructed
as we speak

right in the center of
Winter Wonderland as requested.

- Excellent.
- Mm-hm.

Are there any outdoor
ice rinks in LA?

Uh, there's a little one
by the beach.

But I never really
had time to go.

- Work?
- 24/7.

- Yeah.
- But not anymore.

What are you,
joinin' the circus, are you?

That's the next phase.

Right now, I'm steppin' down
from my law practice.

Oh. To do what?

I'm doin' angel investing
for start-up companies.

People with great ideas,
but limited resources.

It's called Kinder Angels.

Best part about it is
I get to work from home

and not miss the most important
parts of Dylan's life.

- Where are you headed?
- Oh, back home. Yeah.

Then back to work.

There's this
little carnival thing

I'm trying to put together
last minute.

Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've heard about that.

Yeah.

You know, if you wanna run
any ideas by me, just call.

Or for any reason.

- You have my number.
- I do.

Okay. See you.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Come on. Happy.

- There you are.
- What's going on?

- Jasper's here.
- Jasper?

Total surprise.
Ms. Aldrin sent me to find you.

Ms. Aldrin..
Wait-wait, what? Why?

Jasper didn't like getting
a new project manager

and insists on speaking with you
or he might walk.

- Oh, no, no, no, no--
- Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

- Right now.
- Ah, but, but..

I-I'm not ready! At all.

- You know this.
- No, I-I don't.

- I-I really don't.
- 'Kate!'

Um.. Ju..
Just give me a minute.

- Hey, everything okay?
- No, everything is not okay!

Some guy named Jasper is here,
and he wants to talk to only you

so they want me
in the conference room right now

and I don't know what to do.

You have to go
in that conference room.

Okay, that is not
what I thought you would say.

Jasper is my biggest client.

If he's there,
it means it's important.

I can't have him think
that I'm blowing him off.

But I don't even know
what it is that you do.

Well, you're about to find out.

- 'Is your hair down?'
- Yeah.

Good. Put the Bluetooth in
and follow my lead.

Okay.

I saw her come in.
So, any second.

Kate! At last!

- Mister..
- Just Jasper.

- Just Jasper.
- "Just Jasper?"

'I like that. You can
use that as my new nickname.'

So, what brings you here?

I was just telling Mrs. Aldrin

'that I'm upset, Kate.
Very upset.'

- The units aren't selling.
- "The units aren't selling?"

No, I can hear him.
Remind him that it's December.

Well, as you know,
it is December.

And as we discussed,
it is not a good time..

It's not a good time..

- 'To buy.'
- To buy.

I know, but I'm worried.

- I understand.
- I understand.

'You have a lot at stake.'

- You have a lot at stake.
- I do.

But we are gonna make sure that
the Jasper Tower Properties..

But we are gonna make certain
that Jasper..

- 'Tower.'
- Tower Properties..

Will be our most successful
venture to date.

Is our most
successful...venture.

I hope so. I've got a
lot invested in these condos.

Uh-oh, condos.

Oh, yeah. This is right near
the condo where I'm staying.

Oh, own.
The condo I own.

It's right across the street.

You know,
my friend Haley Blevins

she just moved in here.

Oh, she moved into Denver
from Littleton

and they were complaining
how hard it was to find

a really good place
next to good schools.

Chris!

She said that the real estate

was geared towards singles

'and hipsters.'

- Chris!
- Like mine is.

Yeah, yeah, I guess.

But have you ever thought
about changing the design

'and making it more
family-friendly?'

You don't think it is?

We.. Well, no.

'I mean, look at this kitchen'

I mean, it's so tiny.

'I mean, you can't have a..'

...a family Christmas dinner
in a kitchen that small.

You need more counter space
and you need an island in there

so everyone can
gather around and talk.

And then, see that wall there,
that's blocking

the view into the living room.

And when it's Christmas morning

and you're doing everything,
you wanna watch your kids

opening their presents
next to the Christmas tree.

I mean, that's really important.

I guess I haven't
thought about that.

We could move the kitchen
against the east wall

create a window,
and then get rid of that wall.

- That-that's a simple solution.
- Yeah.

Yeah, and it would be so pretty

'cause you could see
the sunrise at breakfast.

Guess I figured I'd just
go after the tech boom people.

Guess everybody else did
as well.

'Yeah, I warned him about that.'

Which you did warn me about.

You think this'll help
with presales?

Tell him we'll,
we will do a market analysis

'of the change in demographics,
but I think this could be'

'exactly what we need'

'to get this project
off and running.'

Yes.

I'm gonna be a family man.

I love it!

Merry Christmas, indeed!

Good job, sis.

Hey, any interest in helping
make our building materials?

Pulled out the big guns
and called my mom.

She swears by
butterscotch pudding.

Well, there's only one way
to find out.

I figured if I'm going
to have to do this whole

Christmas event dance,
I might as well enjoy the tune.

Well, it's nice to see you

finally getting
into the spirit of things.

Oh, I once went
to an ice hotel in Norway.

It was like
an elegant fairytale.

And I thought we could bring
some of that here.

Color themes
in blues and whites

and lights and balloons.

Ice fire pits throughout.

- Edible silver bells.
- Yes.

I saw your plans
for the changes, Chris

and I must say,
I'm concerned.

Where's the Snowman
Bounce House?

And the Hot Cocoa Corner?

'Santa's Village?'

No more Santa's Village?

Some things had to go

to make room
for the new elements.

Mr. Sumner, Tom made
a very generous donation

but it was for a reason.

So this year's Winter Wonderland
could take a step up.

But we need to be practical
about it, too.

It's practical.

He never was very good
with changes.

Uh, honey, I-I think
Mr. Sumner is concerned

that this is too sophisticated.

We're still a small town.
People need things to do.

Not just admire
the pretty lights.

So the gingerbread
should be dry by tonight.

- So, I'll get to decorating.
- Hey.

- You want some help with that?
- Uh, no.

This is my domain. You'll just
have to be surprised.

Oh, I like surprises.

Kate. Greg.

Um, Kate, so I just read

'the email about
the Christmas party.'

"Most Festive Holiday Sweater"

and "Christmas Carol Karaoke?"

I'm just concerned
that it's not really within

Aldrin Development's style.

My..
I've seen Kate's plans.

And, yes, it will be different

but, uh, I also think
it's gonna be a lot of fun.

Okay.

Well, then, we'll just see.

Do you think I've made this
too small-town folksy?

No, no, it's gonna be great.

You have a the talent
for Christmas. Come on.

No, I was just trying to do
something different.

Me too.

Are you eating my mint
chocolate chip ice cream?

Yep. Mine's behind
the chicken stock.

Oh.

'So, do you
think dad and Sumner were wrong?'

No.

But, I mean,
I really like your ideas too.

I think you can still
use those changes, just..

Just bring back the stuff
for the families with kids

so they're not bored.

Fair enough,
I think there's still time.

I can call in some favors
from my work contacts.

'Yeah, you're lucky
you have a backup plan'

because if I make this party
too homey

you're gonna be in trouble.

Thanks.

You know what I mean.

I do.
And they'll like it.

You always make
Christmas awesome.

Just like mom used to.

'Although maybe lose
the karaoke.'

Thanks for coming over
so last second.

Hey, that's how we roll.

Team Winter Wonderland.

What do you think?
Because Sumner's got me nervous.

Oh, but I think
you've done a great job.

Uh, especially with the
curveballs I've thrown at you.

And I love
the blue and white theme.

- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.

Reminds me
of this ice hotel in Norway.

Wha.. In Oslo?
Run by the Grundersens?

- Mari and Jani?
- Yes.

Yes, I went there two years ago.
I spent Christmas.

- It was amazing!
- Come on!

So did, did your kids love it?

I went by myself.

Yeah, uh, I do that, too,
sometimes.

When Dylan's mom has him
for the holidays

we, uh, rotate.

- What do you and your ex do?
- Um..

Oh.. Th-that was too forward.
I shouldn't have asked.

No, no, it's, um..

I think I finally got
all my shopping done, even for..

Mom.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Well, I have got to go

get some dinner on.

- Nice to see you.
- You, too.

You should be proud
of what you've done so far.

You're doin' great work.

And I can't wait to see
what you do next year.

Thank you.

Sorry, Aunt Kate.
Bad timing.

No, no,
it was good timing, actually.

I needed to be reminded
that this is just pretend.

But I mean,
you do like him, right?

Mr. Kinder?

It seems like you do.

And he likes you too.
You can tell.

Well, that's the problem,
I like him for him

and he likes me as Chris.

Are you and mom
gonna stop the switch?

I mean, it's been nice
having you around.

Even if you are making me
do more chores.

[instrlt's gonna be great.

Hey, how, um,
are the gingerbread buildings

coming along?
For the silent auction?

Oh, I'm almost done
assembling them.

Here, take a look.

- 'Huh?'
- 'Greg, these are amazing.'

Oh, look, Jasper Tower.

I think we should put
a little family down in front.

All thanks to Kate Lockhart.

Yeah.. About that..

Oh, don't be modest.
Come on, I was there.

You rocked it.
You should be very proud.

You are a talented lady.

It-it's funny, 'cause
I feel like no one at home

appreciates what I can do.

Really? I find that impossible
to believe.

Why hasn't anyone
snapped you up, Greg Turner?

Well, efforts have been made,
but I'm elusive.

Why?

Well, I guess I just wanna
get it right the first time.

You know,
find the right woman.

Fall in love,
have a family.

Stay together forever.

- Easier said than done.
- Yeah. Maybe.

But I still want to try.

Thanks for helping me
with my Christmas shopping.

I love any opportunity

to spend time with you, honey.

And you don't even
have to pretend

you're somebody else
to get me to do it.

Ah, you're hilarious.

Well, if the switch
has done one thing

it's made me realize how much
I miss coming back here.

Oh. Hold on.

Ah. Heh-heh.

Pretty sure I'm gonna win this.

I don't know,
mine's pretty great.

Yeah, problem is, you look good

which defeats the whole purpose.

Wow!

Yeah. Well, you built them.

Yeah, but they were boring
without you.

- Now, uh, now they're art.
- Oh.

What's this?

Well, these are
your real estate developments

recreated with gingerbread.

- Her idea.
- His blueprints.

'And all the proceeds
from the silent auction'

'go to Habitat For Humanity.'

That should do it.

And I decided you were right.

It is time
for some old-fashioned fun.

My kids do love
their arts and crafts.

'Whoa.'

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

She is totally winning.

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah.

- Let's get a drink.
- Mm.

Hi.

- Hi.
- Is that the new 3DS XL?

- Yeah. Wanna play?
- Yeah.

- Mom, can we get ice cream?
- Sure.

Man.

I wish I could make friends
that fast.

I'll get you the new
3DS L-M-N-O-P for Christmas.

You're too kind.

So is it, is it always like this
for Christmas?

Oh, always.
Yeah, even when we were kids.

My sister and I used
to come in here all the time

when we were their age.

And now we're the chaperones.

- How did that happen?
- Quickly.

But you know what?

I feel good about
where I'm at right now.

- Yeah?
- 'Yeah.'

- Why's that?
- I mean..

I was nervous about coming here

but so far, it's..

...it's been close to perfect.

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Oh.

- For your Christmas wish.
- Thank you.

What'd you wish for?

If I tell you,
it won't come true.

Hi.

Hey. Write down your wish.

Okay, thank you.
I'll take this one with me.

Now I know your secret.

You totally love Christmas.

I mean,
I can't believe you did this.

Well, oh, I had help.

About that. A-are you two..

Oh. No. No,
he just helped with the party.

Funny how he never
seemed to help Nora

when she was running the show.

But, uh, I'm just callin' it
like I see it.

And I see chemistry.

That's what I thought.

Kate. Hi.

Looks like
it's going pretty well.

- I had no doubt.
- Oh.

I had enough doubt
for the both of us.

What do you have there?

You're mine.

Secret Santa.

Oh.

Greg!

For you to pursue one of your

many hidden talents.

Oh. I don't even know
what to say.

Thank you.

I haven't been able to buy
new brushes for myself

in such a long time.

Why not?

I just don't get

that much time for myself.

Well..

I hope..

I-I mean, you know,
now that the party's over, I..

...I hope it doesn't mean
we have to go back..

...to the way things were.

I like this so much better.

This?

Tell me I'm not imagining it.

But, Greg, I have to tell you..

No.

No.

Kate, what's wrong?

That's what's wrong. Kate.

- I don't get it.
- 'Of course you don't.'

Because you are the nicest,
most sincere, genuine guy

I've ever met
and you deserve someone

who's all of those things
in return.

- That's you.
- No, Greg.

I am not who you think I am.

- Kate--
- No, I'm Chris.

My name is Chris Lockhart Dixon.

And I am a divorced
high school teacher.

And Piper and Gabe
aren't my niece and nephew

they are my children.

'And Kate's at my house
right now'

running Winter Wonderland

and that's exactly
where I need to be.

In Littleton, my home.

- I don't understand.
- We swapped places.

'And it doesn't matter why,
just that we did.'

And you deserve better.

Yes.

You're gonna share those, right?

Oh, come on.

- Where'd you get the carolers?
- Oh.

They're from
the Denver Theater District.

The-the one right in the center

he's an understudy
in Holiday Inn.

Wow. And you thought
you couldn't pull it off.

Well, it wasn't exactly
what I signed up for.

Some of the best things in life
are surprises.

Now that you, uh, you know,
have figured this out..

...I can ask you.

Ask me what?

Would you go to dinner with me?

Oh. Ah, uh..

That's a really long pause.

Uh, okay.

Can I just ask you
a-a random question?

Okay.

When you first met Kate
all those years ago

you...supposedly got along

really well.

Like, she had the biggest crush
on you.

- She did?
- Um, yeah.

You met and that day was
straight out of the storybooks.

And you had promised
to meet up with her later

and go ice skating,
but you didn't show up.

Oh, I did.

Just a little earlier
than we agreed on.

And found her kissing
another guy.

Oh. Blake.

Blake Dixon. That-that's why
you didn't show up.

So Blake Dixon
was your boyfriend?

Yeah. No. W-w-we had switched.

I mean, I just assumed
that it was her

but it wasn't her,
it was...you.

Um..

Tom, there is
something that I-I need to..

Look, I'm so sorry. I just, I..
One second.

Alright.

You were supposed to call
before you got to Littleton.

- It's over.
- What's over?

- Everything.
- How did it go?

Well, great, amazing,
better than expected.

And then Greg kissed me

and-and I spilled everything
like I do when I get nervous

and, and it wasn't pretty.
I told him everything.

- I know you're mad.
- How are you feeling?

- What? Me?
- Yes.

You, my sister.

How are you feeling
about what happened?

Well, I'm upset.

And sad. I liked Greg a lot.

It's been so long.

And you know
what's good for that?

Hot cocoa.
Meet me behind Santa's village.

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

Is there anything
we haven't done?

I think the ice skating.

Ice skating?
Yeah, that sounds like fun.

Alright, you know,
when we switched

in Mrs. Paulson's trig class

I don't remember it being
quite this complicated.

Yeah, except maybe
when mom found out.

- Yeah, that wasn't fun.
- Not at all.

- I miss her.
- Me, too.

Is that why you stopped
coming back here

because it reminds you of her?

I never really thought about it.

Maybe, in part.

Well, dad misses you.

And the kids miss you.

So do I.

I miss you, too.

It's been one of the best parts
about the switch

being able to talk to you more.

Same.

And how you saved
the Jasper Tower property.

Right? Yeah,
I was pretty proud of myself.

Well, you should be.
You did a really great job.

And I really appreciate it.

Thank you.

You know, I admit it. I, I've
been really jealous of you.

It's everything that you have.

Your clothes, your career

your freedom. I..

- Me, I'm, I'm just--
- One of the best people I know.

Seriously, you don't get
how awesome you are.

I've never worked so hard
than I have being Chris.

And you do this
day in and day out.

And it's not all your fault,
by the way, that we've drifted.

I've been kinda jealous, too.

Of what? My laundry?

You have people to share
your life with. I don't.

All I do is work.

I've never really
even fallen in love.

What about Tom Kinder?

- We were just kids.
- Well, you're not now. So..

Oh..

I hear ya.

What a mess.

- We'll figure it out.
- Yeah.

In the meantime,
Tom is gonna ask you to dinner.

- I promise I'll say no.
- Thank you.

And things will be fine
with Greg.

I can feel it.

Mom?

- Yes?
- Yes?

Oh..

'Kate Lockhart?'

- Yes?
- Yes?

Kate, so glad you could

finally make it back
to our carnival.

Principal Sumner,
it is so good to see you.

My sister was just telling me
about your idea

of using the surplus of
Mr. Kinder's generous donation

to finally address the supply
needs of the teachers.

I think it's a wonderful idea.

Yes. Thank you,
Principal Sumner.

And I think
it's a great idea, too.

The Art Department, especially

has really come through
with this carnival.

Yes. Of course.

Very excited.

You must be Tom.

It's great to see you, Kate.

Oh. It's been a while
since I've seen my niece.

- So if you don't mind..
- I'll find you.

Uh..

Tom, I..

There's something
I have to tell you.

- 'Chris.'
- Yes?

Greg. Whoa, ooh..
Mm..

- Greg!
- Chris.

- Kate!
- Oh.

- Who is he?
- Greg.

- Who's he?
- Tom.

Alright.
But, uh, who exactly are you?

I'm..

I'm Kate Lockhart.

Nice to meet you.

Tom, Tom, if you'll just--

Kate, wa-wait.

Well..

- I-I-I have to--
- Kate, wait, just..

Can help me with Chris?

'Please.'

- Dad, did you see that?
- Yeah.

You're looking good.

I'm glad you're back.

It's nice that we're all here.

Not everyone.

Hi.

I came to see how you're doing.

Now we're all together.

Aunt Kate, are you gonna stay
for Christmas morning?

Definitely.

Chris, Kate,
how do you feel about opening up

a couple
of Christmas presents now?

Well, thanks.

For both my girls.

From your mom.

Did you just find them?

Is this what made you think
of the Christmas Sister Brunch?

I found them in the attic
when I was getting out

those Christmas decoration.

You know how your mom
loved to hide presents.

All over the house.

All year long. Now, open them.

Your mother remembered how much
you both liked to skate together

when you were younger.

- Let's do more of that.
- Definitely.

Greg, what are you doing here?

Hello, Chris.

I hope you don't mind me coming
here. I just, I had to see you.

Oh. Well, how did you find me?

Oh, you've, uh, you mentioned
Winter Wonderland

so I started there.

And then, uh, then Kate--

- Kate?
- 'Yeah, the real Kate.'

She told me I'd find you here.

- I see.
- 'Hm.'

This is more like it.

I kept thinking the condo
was pretty, but...not you.

Yeah. Well, this is the real me.

The real me.

I like the real you.

'I-I also liked the other you.'

I guess I pretty much like you

'in all forms.'

And how else can I explain it?

You know, I saw Kate every day
for three years

'and...nothing'

but I know the moment
that was you in her place.

You wore jeans
and you spilled those papers.

Greg, I'm..

I'm a suburban single mom.

So?

Are you sure
you're okay with that?

Only one way to find out.

Everyone, this is Greg Turner.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Gabriel Dixon. Son.

It's nice to meet you, Gabriel.

Thanks for having me.
I appreciate it.

'Nice to meet you.'

So..

Where are you going?

I need to return

to Winter Wonderland.

- I'll be back soon.
- You better.

Oh, you are gonna get so sick
of seeing me.

I can't wait.

Oh. Okay. Hi. Uh-huh.

Whoa!

Gotcha.

Tom.

Hello...Kate.

Sorry about walking away
like that earlier.

Oh. You should not be
the one apologizing.

I-I-I can't believe
you still wanna talk to me.

I always knew there was more
to the story, then and now.

When we were younger,
my sister and I

we used to switch places,
just for fun.

And the last time we did
was the day that you and I met

but I had someplace to be

but I-I really wanted
to be with you.

And now, this whole time?

Was me.

Chris and I
first started to do it

just to see
how the other one lived.

- But then you came along.
- And?

I didn't wanna go back.

I wanted to be with you.

Alright,
I give you fair warning.

This might sound a little..

You ever meet someone..

...who just makes you
feel at home?

Once.

On two occasions.

Just to be clear

I'm Kate Lockhart.

I'm single, I have no children.

I work
in real estate development

and I live in Denver.

Any chance I can convince you
to come up to Littleton

a little more often?

Hm..

There's a really good chance.

Well, Denver's not so far,
anyways.

I heard the
road goes both directions.

We will have to test that theory

but not tonight.

I have another plan.

And what would that be?

Unfinished business.
