- Congratulations!

We were all crying in the back!

That was a beautiful proposal.

- Oh, thanks, camila.

I can't believe he rented out
the whole place.

- This is where we had our
first date. So it felt right.

- Well, a christmas engagement
calls for something

Truly special - ice wine.

It's produced from grapes

That have been frozen
on the vine.

Now the sugars don't freeze,
but the water does,

So the juice gets
very concentrated.

It's like an explosion
of sweetness.

Just like the two of you.
(laughs)

Congratulations again.
To jerry and anya!

(clapping, laughter)

Roberto: Ice wine
is a festive choice!

Very rare.

You can only harvest it
in places

That are warm enough
to ripen the grapes

And cold enough to freeze them.

Risky. Weather dependant.

Drink, drink. Salute!

- It's incredible. I mean,
how do you know what I want

Before I know it?

- She is the best sommelier
in philadelphia.

- Aw... My god. (chuckles)

- Anyone can go to school,
but she has a gift.

She gets a feeling in her gut
and she follows it.

I'd swear she is italian!
- (laughing)

- Well, we fell in love
with her selections.

But this one is just
over the top delicious.

- Oh, I'm so glad.

- What winery is it from?
- Um, evergreen.

It's my, my godfather's winery.

Henry gave me and my sister
jobs at the vineyard

When we were teenagers.

You know, taught us everything
we know about wine.

In fact, my sister, beth,
she manages it now.

- I live in fear that when she
goes home for the holidays,

Another restaurant will try
to steal her away from me.

- Roberto, fear not!
The town is very small.

You know, he is a little
nervous to face

The christmas rush without me.

- More like terrified.
- (laughing)

- See I told you.
- Where is home?

- Um, upstate new york.

This little pocket
near niagara.

We're sort of famous for the
wine and christmas festival.

- All our favorite things.

- Yeah. You should come visit!

You won't be disappointed.

We have volunteers that come
to help us harvest the grapes.

Now it isn't easy, you know,

Because we can only pick them
when it's 17 degrees or lower.

So it's usually the middle
of the night,

And the whole thing has
to be done in six hours.

- Oh wow. That sounds
very cold and stressful.

- No. It's actually great,
you know, it's a lot of fun.

I love it. You feel a little
bit like santa.

He only has a certain amount
of time to deliver the gifts.

So we have six hours
to harvest ours.

(chuckles) I'm telling you,
you should come.

You won't be disappointed.
Come visit.

Our ice wine is like
christmas in a bottle.

Enjoy guys.

(low hum of party chatter)

- Camila.
- Yes?

- Ah, you know,
I wasn't joking earlier.

I-I really do believe you
have a gift.

- Oh. You're the man
who gave me my first shot

And I've always been grateful.

- Well, I like to think of
myself as a smart businessman.

- Well, you're all of those
things.

I mean, you own four
of the best restaurants

In philly, right?

- And I would like to make you
head sommelier for all of them.

I want to create a position
for you.

- Roberto, that's an amazing
opportunity.

- Yes it's a big job.

You'd have access to the finest
wines in the world.

Endless possibilities.

- I don't even know
what to say.

- Well, just take some time
over the christmas holidays

To think about it.
- Okay, I will.

Thank you so much.

- You know,
you're my best employee.

You answer my calls day
or night.

It's my favorite thing
about you.

That won't be changing
on vacation, will it?

- No. I'm always here for you.

- Bene.

Henry: (laughing) hey!

Is this my christmas present
come early?

- Yes.

- Your mom is waiting
for you at the diner.

- I know. I'm gonna head over.
I just had to see you first.

- Ohhh. Sure.
See me or the vineyard?

- Ah, well, both.
- Yeah...

- You know, I'm not home
if I don't see the vineyard.

- Hey, tell me everything.
How are you?

How's the job? Regale me
with dating stories!

- Oh, I don't have time
for dating.

- Oh, there's always time
for love.

- I barely got the time off
to be here for christmas

When do you think
I'm gonna fit in love?

- Your boss works you too hard.
- Hm.

So how's prep going
for the christmas festival?

- Well... Good,

I-I decided to take a step back
this year.

Y-your sister put together
a little christmas committee

For the festival.

- Okay, henry, are you okay?

- Of course.
People just get older.

I don't recommend it.

- Sure, people,
but not my henry.

- Well, I-I went to visit
my brother in florida

And I uh,

I decided I wouldn't mind
living there half the year.

Especially the cold months,
you know.

- Wait-wait, are you gonna be
a snowbird?

- You say that
like it's a bad thing.

- Yeah, 'cause I can't imagine
christmas without you.

Who's gonna predict the freeze
for the ice wine harvest?

- I'm working on a plan
for that.

- And what about the christmas
festival?

- Well, the committee's done
a great job.

They just simplified it
a little bit.

Hey, let-let's talk
about it tomorrow.

- Okay.

- The lights on main street
look wonderful.

You probably won't even
notice the changes.

Camila: Oh um, I will.

Henry: The only big difference
is the bell tower.

They chose not to light it
this year.

Camila: Why?

Henry: Well, the bell broke
a few years back and uh...

They thought it best not
to draw attention to it.

Camila: But the lights
on the bell tower,

That's the best part.

- Oh, well I can see that.

You know, it-it gets very cold
here at christmas.

- Yeah, I brought the wrong
clothes,

And it's kind of weird

Seeing that weather's kind
of my thing.

- I didn't know weather
could be anyone's thing but--

(laughing)

- I um, I was gonna buy warmer

But my flight got delayed

And now all the shops
are closed.

- Well, you know, in winter,

Six o'clock becomes
midnight around here.

(laughing)
- yeah, I can see that.

Do you think you point me
to uh, sunny's diner?

I'm supposed to meet
my boss there.

- Oh. Your boss?
- Yeah.

- Hm. That's interesting.

And you wanna know another-
another interesting fact?

During the winter,

Sunny's diner becomes
the "snowman's" diner.

- Snowman.
- Yeah.

I'm camila by the way.
- Camila.

- Camila.
- Declan.

- Nice to meet you.
It's-it's right there.

Um, you can follow me
if you want.

- Yeah. Yeah.
I wouldn't have found it.

(bell over door jingles)
both: (from cold) ohhh!

Declan: (sharp exhale)
- oh, look at this.

- Wow, that's... A lot of
snowmen.

- Do my eyes deceive me

Or is this my daughter,
back from the big city?

Ay, camila, mi amor!

Camila you have to eat.

I can feel the hunger
in your bones.

- Mom, you can't feel my
hunger.

- Oh, is this your boyfriend?!
- No.

(bell over door jingles)
- no.

- Oh.
(all squeal with excitement)

- My baby sister!
- Feliz navidad!

- We've missed you so much.
- Oh, I miss you too.

- Christmas hasn't been

Beth: Oh you're the sweetest.
- The sweetest!

- And you must be declan.

I'm beth.
- Yes.

- I'm so glad that you can
join us,

It's nice to finally meet you
in person.

- Ah, so you know
this gentleman?

- Yes of course!
He is staying at henry's.

- Yeah.
- He is?

- Ah yeah, he uh,

We hired him to do some work
at the vineyard.

I just wanted him
to meet everyone.

- Ah, so he is nobody's
boyfriend?

Ooh, what a pity, no?
- Stop it.

- Ah, let's eat before she
tries to marry you off.

- Sit down everyone, sit down.

(music plays in the background)

- Camila made these
when we were kids.

- Well, you know that mom
saves everything.

- They're starting
to look a little sad.

- I keep offering to replace
them but sunny won't have it.

- This is my husband, gabriel,
he's an artist.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- And this is my mom, sunny,

Who is trying to marry you
off in the entry way there.

- Well, it is the holiday
season.

Anything is possible.

- Mom. Please.
- Thanks for having me.

- Um, you know,
he needs a coat.

- Oh no-no-no. I'll get one
from the back,

In the lost and found,
sit down.

- Thank you.
- Okay, okay.

- So henry told me
that he was thinking

About retiring to florida?

- Yeah, I was gonna call you,
but it was all sort of sudden.

- Taking over for henry
is a big job, beth.

- It is.

But things will get better
once I have a little help.

- Yeah, that's-that's where
I come in.

- Are you here to help
with the ice wine harvest?

- Yeah, yeah. In a way.

- Declan is our last hope.
- Last hope?

What does that mean?
- I'm an oenologist.

I supervise wine production,
storage,

I do analysis,
things like that.

- Okay, we all know
what an oenologist does.

But thank you.
- I don't.

- So you hired an outsider?
- Scientist.

- Right, with a specialty
in weather

Who forgot to bring a coat.
Sunny: Found one!

- Wow. That's... Bright.
- Uh-huh.

Well, now you don't have
to worry

About getting hit by a car

If you go for a walk at night.

- Was that a concern?

- You know, I can do an
analysis of the winery.

You know that.
- Camila is a sommelier

At a fancy restaurant
in philly.

- Mhm.
- Your passion is the product.

We hired declan because his
passion is the production.

- And that makes us
a perfect pairing!

(all laugh)

- We're just looking
for ways to maximize

This year's harvest.
- I get it.

So let me help you with-

With something while I'm here.
Right?

- Well, we could use your help
for the christmas committee.

- That's a fantastic idea.
- Uh-huh,

We're missing a little bit
of henry's pizzazz.

- Then it's settled.

I guess I'm going to be
in charge

Of the christmas magic
this year!

- Yes!

- To christmas magic!

Welcome declan and welcome
back, camila, mi cielo.

(cups clinking)
all: Salute!

(car rumbles)

Camila: Oh, I've missed this.
I've missed you, sis.

Do you remember
when we were kids

And we stayed up
on christmas eve

Because you wanted
to catch santa?

And then we snuck into
the diner

And had shakes at midnight?

- I remember you breaking
the mixer

By shoving an entire pie in
with the ice cream.

- Well, you know me,
more is more!

(laughing)

- I have to tell you something.

- What?

- Declan is here to advise us
on automation.

- Cryoextraction?
- Yes.

A lot of wineries are doing it

And it's delicious
and cost effective.

- Okay, you sound like
a commercial.

Fake ice wine.
Santa would be appalled.

- I know. I don't wanna make
fake ice wine,

But if we automate
we can produce all year.

More inventory, more tourists.
Everyone wins.

- Beth, we make christmas
in a bottle.

What are we gonna call it
if we make it year round?

- A huge success?

We haven't made any decisions.

I can manage the operation
and financial side of things,

But henry is gonna rely on
declan's advice for automation.

- Oh...

I'm from santa cruz.

And we're not used to
that pace being used

As a friendly greeting.
- Okay, I-I got it.

Uh, do you wanna grab
a new jacket today?

- No um, it's a little small,
but it's growing on me.

- Oh good, good-good.
What are you doing?

- I am gathering some samples
from the wrapped rows

That will be harvested
this year

To cross reference
with weather reports.

So I can predict the freeze
and, you know,

Announce the harvest date
as soon as possible.

- Okay, no, no.

Henry announces
the harvest date.

And you know,
he has a whole process.

It's sort of magical

And none of it involves...
Samples.

- Yeah, well, I get the
impression he wants to try

Something new this year.

- Oh, like producing
fake ice wine?

- I haven't been here long
enough to recommend automation.

- Oh. Why don't you change
christmas to December 17th,

While you guys are at it,
you know,

Because you seem to be
changing everything.

- Am I allowed to do that?
- (sarcastic chuckle)

I-I don't think you understand
how it works here.

Christmas and ice wine
go hand in hand.

When we were teenagers,

Henry used to take me and beth
on walks in the vineyard

And he would tell us

That the vines were always
listening.

- That's creepy.

- That's not creepy.

No. He just wanted us
to know that,

You know, the vines were alive
like us.

He spoke to them

And he would massage
their leaves

When they seemed to be
struggling and guess what?

They would get stronger.

- Well, there is some science
to support the idea

Some plants respond to touch,

But responding to christmas
spirit? No.

- Hey. It's not about science.

It's about something bigger.

- Oh, christmas magic?
- Yes! Exactly!

What? Wait.
The smile, I-I don't--

I don't get it.
Are you're making fun of me?

- No, no, I just don't
understand the fascination

People have with christmas.

It wasn't a big deal
in my family.

We didn't put lights
on the house

And everyone I knew
had fake trees.

- Oh, stop, stop-stop.
Fake trees?

Fake ice wine.
What's next, fake snow?

- It's called flocking.

- Um, okay, if you're going
to decide

The future of the winery.

I have to show you how
important christmas is

To the harvest. Okay?

- How are you gonna do that?

- Um, well, I am going to be
your tour guide.

Your christmas tour guide.
- Really?

- Yes, yes.

You have to experience
an old-fashioned holiday.

You see, christmas
is our ice wine x factor.

So promise me you're gonna keep
an open mind?

- Deal.
- Perfect.

- But you-you do know that you
and henry want the same thing,

To ensure that the harvest
is a success.

I'm just trying to help.

I'm not a bad guy here.

- I guess we'll see.

- What does that mean?

- So glad you asked, ned!
Thank you.

Let me show you.

So these are when I was
very young.

You see, the christmas festival
used to be so bold

And so unique, guys.

You know, I-I couldn't wait
to see

What the stores on main street
would use

As their holiday theme,

And see the tree,
and the ice wine tent.

And I know you guys are
simplifying, I get it,

But maybe we could do
a little throwback?

- I love it.
- So do I.

- Great. So maybe we should
start small

With the return of one
tradition

And see how you guys feel.
Okay?

We can start by putting lights
in the vineyard

The way we used to.

- Can we get the man power
and the extra lights?

- Gabe, it won't be a problem.
- Hm.

- Okay, we're gonna make this
year's festival amazing -

Must have been some festival.

- It is. It's always held
December 20th.

Rain, snow or shine.

We have music
and ice wine tastings!

- Sounds fun.
- It's-it's the best.

You know, henry's dream
has always been um,

For the ice wine harvest

To coincide with
the christmas festival

So they can create
one mega-event.

- Yeah. What was your dream?

- Oh, that the harvest happens
on christmas day.

- (chuckles)
I should have known.

- (laughs)

- You know the way um,
henry selects

The ice wine harvest
is a bit of a mystery.

I can't find any data
from past years.

- Well, I could tell you, but...

You're not gonna believe me so.

- Well, try me.

- Oh, the vineyard sends him
signs.

- Signs?

- Well, the temperature rises
a few degrees um,

Like two weeks
before the harvest.

Then henry starts to go on
these walks in the vineyard.

- How much warmer does it get?

- Um, it changes,
it changes but then,

The chickadees, you know,

They start shedding
their feathers

And henry finds them because
he's walking in the vineyard

And this usually happens like
five days before the harvest.

There's also one-one final step.

- Yeah.
This is why they hired me.

Henry's magical ways of
predicting the harvest

Is not a feasible ongoing plan.

- Don't poo-poo the magic.
- Poo-poo?

- Yeah, don't poo-poo the magic
because, you know,

The system actually works
every single year.

- Yeah. It works for henry.

But henry isn't planning
on being here.

- You think you can do it
better?

- Oh, maybe not better,
but certainly in a more

Scientific way for beth
to replicate.

- Okay.
- What's the final step?

You said there was
a final step.

- Final step is the taste.

- The grapes have
a certain taste?

- Uh, no, the soil
has a certain taste.

- Interesting.

- That's the part that
you're going to accept

Without any hesitation?

- The burgundian monks
favored that.

- Wait, what did you just say?
- Burgundian monks.

- How do you know that?
- I'm a scientist.

- Wow, you know, I've never met
anyone who understood

Where henry was coming from.

- Well, science isn't soulless,
camila.

- Huh.

- You know, maybe you're
the one who needs to keep

An open mind about me.

We should get to the vineyard.

are german

And they used to have an
ice wine vineyard there.

- Really?

I'm actually headed
to a german winery next.

Yeah, I bounce around
wherever they need me.

- Oh. So you're sort of like a,

Like a santa claus,
but for vineyards, hm?

- (wavers) hmm.

- I'm gonna make you a fan
of christmas,

Even if it's the last thing
I do.

(laughing)

- Okay, guys,
this is why I'm worried.

Isn't like freezing the grapes
inside a lab

Instead of harvesting them,
you know,

It takes away some of the magic
of-of christmas at the harvest.

- There's more opportunities
to celebrate.

A spring harvest,
summer solstice!

- That doesn't sound
like christmas magic,

Sounds like marketing.

- We don't have to make
a decision yet.

- Well, I-I'm just looking
for ways

To protect everything we love.

Evergreen grew around
this vineyard.

And I want it to continue
to grow after I'm gone.

- What about the christmas
festival?

- Well, the festival will go on
without me too.

They need to make it their own.

- Okay, henry fine, fine.

If you're set on retiring, fine,

But I'm gonna make this
the biggest, the best,

The most joyful christmas
festival you have ever seen!

It's fake.

Just take it.

You have to taste it.

This one is ours,

"old friends".
Bottled last year.

- Alright.

Try this one next.

Here you go, got it?

Mmm.

This one is not ours

It's actually delicious.

I think it's german.

Oh, sorry.

I just want to thank declan

For welding the fence on
the back acreage for us.

- Yeah, no problem.

- You can weld?
- Yeah, my dad taught me,

So I figured I would fix the
fence while I was here. Why?

- I could use a little help
with a christmas project.

Can you meet me at the diner
after work?

- It's a date.

- (chuckles) I hope you're not
afraid of heights.

- Heights?

Wait... Did you say heights?

All in favor?

in favor every time?

Because we never say no
to anything.

- I second that.

- Well, it looks like we have
everything covered so far.

I am handling the christmas
art and signage,

And the upcoming silent auction.

Sunny is working on the menus.

Eileen is working
with the businesses

On choosing their themes.

My man, ned,
is handling the music,

And camila is working on the--
- the pizzazz.

Yeah, and I think we should
make our next order of business

Decorating the bell tower.

- Oh! Si!

- I don't think we can
take that on.

- Why?
- We can't climb up there.

It's dangerous. And we're all
afraid of heights.

- That's why I recruited declan.

Not only is he not afraid
of heights, he can weld.

Well, what about in addition
to decorating the bell tower

We could actually fix
the bells themselves.

- Ohh! Si! Si!
- (excited chatter)

- Hear the bell, ring again,

All over town
the way they used to!

- Camila, I-I don't think I
have the skills for that.

Um, I have to look at it.

He's gonna look at it.

And we need a, we need a key

Old-fashioned christmas
activity?

'cause tonight we have
our yearly holiday

Candy making night.

- How long have you been
doing that?

- Oh for a long time.

You know, we moved here from
puerto rico when I was 13,

Beth was eight,

And my dad passed away
a couple years later

So my mom had to come up
with, you know,

Create some new traditions

To elevate our christmas cheer.

- I'm so sorry about your dad.

- It's alright, you know.

I like to talk about him.
He loved christmas.

You know, he was henry's
best friend.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

And henry really stepped up

To make our holidays magical
again.

Actually, you know what,

He made everything magical
again.

- I can see why henry
and the christmas festival

Are so important to you.

- They really are.

- So what does this special
night entail?

- Okay, so we do chocolate
dipped pretzel sticks--

- I'm in!
- And we-wait wait wait--

- You know, you had me
at chocolate dipped.

That's all I need to hear.
- Okay.

We also wrap gifts
and it's byop.

Bring your own pajamas.

- Is this your plot to see me
in my footed pajamas?

- Um, it didn't start out
that way,

But, you know, now, now it is.
(chuckles)

Do you have any gifts to wrap?

- Oh, my folks aren't
gift giving people.

They're trip giving people.

We've spent most of our
christmases

Traveling the world.

- Travelling the wor--I-
I can't even comprehend that.

- Well, we uh,

We went to the great wall
of china on christmas once

And another year, we spent
the day on the beach

In sydney.
- Wow.

- And we celebrated christmas
in Spain once

On January 6th.

- January 6?
The three kings day?

Tres reyes magos,
I love tres reyes magos.

- Yeah, it's given me
great appreciation

For other culture--
wait hold on.

Did you just admit that

A non-traditional christmas
could be fun?

- Um, maybe.

(both laughing)

- Oh come on.
- You can't paint them on, huh.

I'm serious.
(laughing)

- It's perfect.

- Wow? Are those christmas
pajamas?

Where did you get those?

You didn't even bring a jacket.

- I have my ways.
- Oh.

- Gabe!

- What? It looked weird.
Quality control.

- How do I get that job?

- How are your wrapping skills?
- Terrible.

- No. That's good.

When you're bad at wrapping
they banish you

And that's when the quality
control begins.

- What are you all whispering
about?

- Nothing. Guy stuff.

- Okay. Declan,
you come with me.

I'm going to teach you the
secret of wrapping gifts.

You measure twice
and then you cut once.

See gabe is a lost cause, eh.

But you seem a little smarter.

You come with me.
You don't eat anymore.

- I'm okay with that assessment.

- Can you put your phone down?
- Okay.

I almost dipped it in chocolate
and rolled it in sprinkles.

- So... Where are you and gabe
on the-on the baby talk?

- Ah... He's there.

Just waiting to hang
a baby stocking

By the chimney with care.
- Awww.

- And I'm here,
having stress dreams

About busted wine presses

And future kids
who will hate me.

- Your future kids
won't hate you.

But they're gonna like me better

Because I'm gonna let them eat
candy whenever they want.

(laughing)

- I keep on saying things
will get easier

Once declan figures out a way

To accurately predict
the harvest,

But what if I'm wrong?
What if I'm in over my head?

- Beth. You're not!
You're brilliant.

- No. I'm being serious.

I don't know
if I can do it all.

Like be a mom
and run a winery,

And the ice wine harvest,

And the christmas festival
by myself.

I just wish we could
bottle up henry

As easily as we bottle up
ice wine.

That's just another sign

Why he needs to stay here
in evergreen.

Oh! Oh!

And speaking of reasons
for henry to stay,

I forgot to tell you.

Come here.

I have an announcement.
Come on-come on-come on.
