Look at that,
it's just so darling,

and people are going crazy
over this magical Christmas town

in the heart
of majestic Washington State.

Over 30,000 people each year
flock there

right around the holidays,
can you believe that?

- That's a lot of people.
- I certainly can, Tatum.

Because I'm actually
from Leavenworth.

- Stop it. You are not.
- Yeah, yeah.

I am. Grew up on Lake Wenatchee.

Let's see
what's on Santa's

weather wish list
for Leavenworth.

Oh, I know
what they want.

Snow, snow and more snow.

Wait. Really? Are you serious?

Yup, I just got the call
an hour ago.

Okay, but I'm confused as to why
they would want me to cover it

instead of the all-American
morning dream team there.

Because America doesn't
only look like Tatum and Drake.

America looks like me

and you, Bridget Torres.

Not to mention, your funny
forecasts are the only reason

we have people
tuning into the nightly news.

Girl, I got to keep it
a little funny

when I literally have
nothing to cover in LA

besides a no-skirts
Santa Ana winds warning

and the doom of June Gloom.

See?

This is why people love you.

Tatum isn't funny. She thinks
she is, but she isn't.

And Drake's humor is, mm, debatable.

The execs want your charm
front and center this year

for our big annual snowcast.

And it's going to air
on the morning show.

This is the kind of exposure
you've been waiting forever for!

Yes! I don't even care
about the stardom.

My dream is just to move
to a morning spot

or a primetime.

All right, so, uh,
who is all going with me, then?

Well, there'll be a few of us.
You know, I've...

Of course, I'm coming with you

and Eddie's gonna come and play
videographer for us.

Oh, it'll be so fun.

And they're not coming with us,
though, right?

Lisa, 'cause you know
that would be a deal-breaker.

Nope. No, no, no, no,
they're not going with us.

Okay, great.

Oh, then I guess I get to be
your and Eddie's third wheel

in this romantic Bavarian
Christmas town. Perfect.

Honey, Eddie and I have been
married for five years.

We promise to keep the romance
to a minimum.

All right, fine.

All right, oh, my goodness!
So when do we leave?

Tomorrow. We are going
to Christmas Town, USA.

Ah! I can't believe it!

- Bridget. Hi.
- Oh, hey, Bridge.

Oh, hey, uh, it's almost
kind of like that,

but with an extra syllable
at the end.

Oh. You're so funny.

I wonder,
would you ever consider writing

some one-liners
for the morning show?

Drake, wouldn't that be so cute?

Uh, y-yeah, th-that would be...

Wha-what are you doing here
so early?

You're usually here
after we're gone.

Oh, uh, yes, uh, I'm sorry

I had to grace my face
around here this morning.

But I actually
just had a meeting with Lisa

about the annual snowcast,
and I was asked to do the spot.

So yay me!

- Well, that's amazing! Congrats.
- Yes.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Uh, now, if you don't mind,
I have to go

bundle up for some snow.

Did Lisa talk to you about that?

Hey, it's the first time
I'm hearing about it.

Wepa! Pero, titi,
are you making tembleque?

Si, si, si.
Better back away, mija.

These are for the ladies
after Mass. Okay?

If you want some, you have
to come to Mass with me.

Pero, titi, tonight we have
a good reason to celebrate.

So I've been asked to
host the annual snowcast

at Christmas Town, USA,
this year,

live from Top Of The Morning.

Ay, bendito!
This is wonderful news!

- Mm! This is delicious. Mm-hmm!
- The best.

So when are you leaving

and how long
are you gonna be gone for?

- We go tomorrow. Si.
- Manana?

And can you believe it?

So I guess I'm just gonna

have to pack tonight and then

I'm gonna be gone
for the next week.

A week? Pero, sobrina.

It's a week 'til Christmas!

What about all the celebrations

you're gonna miss?

I know, I guess I'm just gonna
have to trade in

our American Puerto Rican Christmas

for a traditional German one
this year.

No, no, te preocupes, titi.
Don't worry.

I'm gonna be back
by Christmas Eve

for midnight mass
and opening gifts, okay?

- I promise. Okay.
- Okay.

Well...

Willkommen.

Welcome
to your holiday hideaway.

I'm-I'm Wally, and it's really
nice to meet you all.

I see you met my son, Dillon.

Uh, did you guys enjoy
your drive up?

Thank you so much
for having us, Wally.

Um, I'm Lisa,
this is my husband Eddie,

and this is Bridget Torres.

The Bridget Torres.
Famous forecaster, yes?

Oh, yes, uh, thank you.
Uh, it's so nice to meet you.

And thank you so much for
letting us stay in your home.

- It's gorgeous.
- Don't thank me.

- You can thank our son, Drake.
- I'm sorry, Drake?

Drake, our son,
who I'm sure you already know.

By the way, kids,
he is waiting for you in town.

So let's get you settled in,

and Dillon will drive you
into town.

I thought you said
he wasn't coming.

I said he wasn't coming with us.

I never said he wasn't coming.

It's Christmas,
and he is from here.

- Hello, hello, hello!
- Hi.

Our guests have finally arrived.

- Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, I love the ensemble.

- It's so variant.
- Ah, this old thing. Hi!

I'm Millie, you must be

Ed, Lisa and Bridget.

- Hi, so nice to meet you.
- My, my...

You're even prettier in person
than you are on TV.

Oh, thank you so much,
Mrs. Kincaid. That's so sweet.

Call me Millie.

Wally, are you ready
to take me into town?

I don't wanna be late
at the Kringle.

Ah, yes, ma'am,
you just say when.

Ready.

Millie works at our year-round
Christmas store downtown

almost every day,
she's done it ever since

she retired from the bank.

She doesn't have to do it,
she just loves it.

And our son Dillon here

is an expert at everything
in Leavenworth.

He, uh, used to work at the
visitors center every summer,

so he knows any and every place
that you might wanna check out

for your upcoming, well,
I'm sorry...

- Snowcast.
- Yeah, snowcast.

Speaking of, any news
on when all the snow flurries

might start pickin' up?

Right.
Well, I'll tell you.

Santa sends snow
when you least expect it.

But rest assured,
we will get you your snowcast

come Christmas Eve.

Oh.

- I hope so.
- I know.

- See ya.
- See you guys a little later.

- Bye. Nice meeting you.
- Bye.

Mm, I've been waiting all year

for some yummy hot apple cider,
thank you.

Thank you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Mm!

So what all is there to do
in this romantic little town?

I assume you're taking me
to all the local haunts.

Um, yeah, uh, I think we'll,

you know, probably just wait
for everyone to get here

and then we'll go see
all the best spots.

Oh. Touring with the team, sure.
That'll be fun.

But what about when we're done?

We need to make some time
to, uh,

celebrate, just the two of us.

Our viewership has
nearly doubled in the last year.

Uh, i-it has, yes.

You have, you have definitely
brought a lot of greatness

to the show since Susan has
left. That's, that's for sure.

Um, and, yes,
that is a reason to celebrate.

Wonderful,
so you'll pick a place,

and make a nice little rezzie

for a fun little
fireside dinner.

- Make it a date.
- All right.

I, I will, uh,
I'll find us a place.

Hey, hey!

- Hi!
- There's the party people.

Welcome to my hometown.
Merry Christmas!

Oh, thank you.
We are in love with this place.

- Oh, good! Hey.
- Here's the man!

Hey, buddy,
it's good to see you.

Dill!

Bridget, this wintry weather
look suits you, sweetie.

- I love the hat.
- Thank you.

You are ready
for a snowstorm, huh?

Yeah, um, the Puerto Rican
in me can survive

a category-four hurricane,
but admittedly,

a snowstorm is not this weather
woman's idea of a fun time.

Well, I guess you won't be
buttoning up our Jack Frost

when we build a snowman.
Will you?

Guess not,
but I-I'll supervise

from the warmth of the indoors.

Okay.

- You do that.
- Yeah, so...

- Bridget, hi.
- Good to see you.

- Hello.
- Thanks.

Mm, uh,
those ciders smell so good.

I think
I'm gonna go get us some to go.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Do you guys wanna meet? Huh?

So nice to meet you.

Uh, four ciders to go, thanks.

Hey, can we get to-go cups
for ours, please? Thank you.

So...

You didn't know that
I was gonna be here, did you?

- I did not.
- Well, I'm...

I'm from here, and, uh,

you know, I always
co-host the snowcast, so...

you know,
maybe we can just

find a way to somehow get along?

Right, yeah, I mean,
I'm not sure why I'd assume

this year would be
any different.

But, uh,
Lisa was a bit misleading.

Right. Would you rather
I wasn't here?

No, what I'd rather
is have Tatum's job,

and I'd rather
you and I be working together.

You remember the job
that I didn't get

because you didn't think I was
the right fit for your show?

Bridget, look. Tr...

I-it wasn't because
I didn't think

that you weren't right
for the position.

That's not what I said. Just--

Just what?
Tatum was a better fit for it.

Look, maybe we could get
a bite to eat

sometime this week,
and, you know, we can,

we could talk about it.
It's, it's complicated.

The only explanation I needed,

you just refused to give me.

So thank you,
but, no, thank you.

Ooh! She really
doesn't like you, does she?

Nope.

Well, that's a first.

Too bad, bro.

You're really enjoying this,
aren't you?

Mm-hmm.

- Stop it!
- Mm.

- A real Nutcracker Museum?
- Mm-hmm.

Do you believe that? Ah. Wait.

Has it always been Christmas
Town, USA, here or what?

Uh, actually, no, it hasn't.

When it was established
as Icicle Flats

in the late 19th century,
it was really just a small town

focused on logging and fur.

- Ooh.
- And, uh, Lake Wenatchee.

That sounds more
Native American, no?

Ah, exactly, yes.

So before
the, the settlers came,

the Yakama, Chinook and Wenatchi
tribes were all over the area

hunting for elk
and fishing for salmon.

So how did it become
little Bavaria?

W-well,
after the Great Depression,

uh, it started to die down a
little, and then they re-routed

the railroads out of town

and people started to leave
en masse.

And then in the 1960s,
the town leaders got together

and decided they needed to do
something to save the town.

'Cause the town already had
these stunning alpine hills.

It's not unlike
those on the German countryside.

They decided to change
the town's appearance

by completely renovating
the town in hopes

that it would draw in visitors
from all over, and it worked.

Ooh! A German bakery.

Oh, the puff pastries
are calling my name.

- Everything there is delicious.
- Oh!

- Absolu-lutely.
- Coffee?

- Oh. Of course.
- I'm hungry, too.

- Bridget, are you coming?
- Oh, no, you go on.

- I'll be right there.
- Okay.

Do you see something you like?

Uh, actually,
I was just thinking

that might be the perfect spot
for the snowcast.

Huh?

Yeah. You're right.

That's the, uh, the Rhein Haus.

And we could probably get the
owner's number from my mother

who is working right there.

Wait, is that
a year-round Christmas store?

Yes, it is,
that is Kris Kringle,

and exactly why my mother was
dressed in her Bavarian best.

After you.

This place is like
right out of a fairy tale.

Welcome to your very merry
little Bavarian Christmas.

Anything you want,
I'm sure we'd get a discount.

Nah.

- I know what you're doing.
- What am I doing?

That annoyingly cute
Drake's Donations thing you do

on your morning show
when you give away things

to families in need.
I mean, it's...

It's really nice
you do it on your show and all,

but it's not gonna work on me,

Mr. I Love Christmas,
I cannot be bought.

Well, I didn't offer
to buy you anything.

- Mm?
- Tsk.

Merry Christmas.

Hi. And, mm...

- For you...
- Ooh!

Oh! Aw!

This ladybug is so precious!

I love ladybugs.

- How did you know?
- Ah!

But this is not just a ladybug.

In German
we call her a Marienkafer.

- And she brings great luck.
- Really?

Well, that's good,
because I'm gonna need it.

- Thank you.
- Hello, dear.

- Hi, ma.
- Hey, where's everyone else?

- Getting pastries next door.
- Oh.

And so you just decided
to stop by and see your old mom?

Well, of course, that and...

We were hoping to get the number
for the owner of Rhein Haus.

We wanna host
the snowcast there.

Oh, hey, t-that's a great idea!

Yeah, I-I'll-I'll text you
the info.

They're really lovely people.

So, Bridget,

will you be staying
through Christmas? I hope so.

And you can see me perform at
the Festhalle on Christmas Eve.

Oh, I would love that,

but I actually have to get back
to LA by Christmas Eve

because I promised my Aunt Marta

that I was gonna spend Christmas
with her.

- Well, that's very sweet.
- Hm.

I hear
it's going to snow.

- Oh, yay!
- And also...

I think it'd be good
if we got some footage

of those darling little stores downtown.

It would be great for a opening
montage before the spots.

Yes, I think
that's a great idea.

Wow, we're goin' a bit rouge

with our format, though, huh?

Well, I mean, isn't that the
point of filming on location?

Just to have some fun with it
and keep things natural,

then get into the spirit of
the season and see what sticks?

Yeah, I-I think that might work
with your evening forecast.

And don't get me wrong,

you do an amazing job
keeping it lively.

I-I just don't know
for a big morning show

with millions of viewers
who rely

on a more formal
narrative format.

I-I don't know.
I don't know if it works.

You know, actually, I-I think

you both make
really great points.

So maybe it's a blend
of both sides of the spectrum

where we finally find
our sweet spot.

- Yeah. I agree.
- Great.

S-so we're in agreement, then.

Uh, Drake and I
should definitely work

on a formatted script, though,

just to get us into the moments.

Right, uh, but do I think
with Bridget here,

we can use some of those moments

and sort of in there forefront.

Yeah, I mean, I don't need
any charitable air time.

Uh, trust me,
I'll find my own way in.

Mm! Something smells good.

Oh, yeah, I think my dad made
some traditional German meal.

Uh, bratwurst,
sauerkraut and beets.

Ooh, fun.

Hey, uh, been meaning
to talk to you.

Listen,
I know you're not thrilled

about working on this thing
with me and Tatum,

but I do think we need
to find a way to get along,

you know, at least
until this thing is over.

Yeah, Drake,
I do not have a problem

with you two
working on the special.

I mean, you guys
are the stars of the show.

So I'm just gonna sit back
and do my little thing

like I always do.

- Your little thing?
- Yes!

Be the fabulous funny lady
everyone loves to hear deliver

"All your up-to-date forecasts
at KQV!"

And leave the big stuff
to you and Tatum,

everyone's favorite
all-American hunk

and darling dear
from Top Of The Morning.

No, no, that's not
what the network wants.

You heard Lisa,
we are all in this together,

which means the three of us
do this together.

Drake, I don't know
what you want from me.

Well, uh, for starters,

we can at least pretend
to get along while we're on air.

Nothing else,
for the sake of the viewers

who just want
a little Christmas cheer.

Okay, yeah, fine,
because the last thing I want

is to spend Christmas
being a Scrooge, anyway, so...

Great. Yeah, nobody wants
to be that, right?

So, all-American hunk, huh?
Says who?

I-I wouldn't even know

because, you know, I'm actually
sleeping in the morning

when you go on the air because
that is the price you pay

when you go on air
hours after primetime, so, uh...

Yeah, now, uh, if you will
excuse me, I would love

to eat dinner before primetime,
uh, so...

By all means.

Okay, oh, yeah.
Oops. Uh...

- Here we are.
- Whoo!

It's really comin' down
out here.

- Ooh... Whoo!
- Well...

- Beautiful!
- Whoa!

Where are the trailers?

- Trailers?
- The hair and makeup trailers.

Tatum, did you read the email
I sent before we headed up here?

We don't have trailers here,

neither do we have
hair and makeup.

We said
every day make-up ready.

What? Are you kidding me?

We are a network brand.

In what world would
I ever wanna do my own makeup?

Oh, I don't know,
a world where you actually

read your own emails and know

what you're getting
yourself into?

Ah. I can't go on camera
like this!

I barely put any make-up on.

Tatum, you have flawless skin.

You look the same
with or without makeup.

Okay, do you wanna go back
to the lodge for a quick zhuzh?

A zhuzh?

Fine. Yes, please.

- This was not in the script.
- I will--

- Take me back.
- Take you back.

Thank you.

All right.

- Who's ready to snowshoe?
- Whoo!

How did you do yours
so fast?

There's a bit
of a learning...

You, uh, you got 'em
on the wrong feet.

Hold on.

- What?
- Let me help you.

How would you even know that?

It, uh, it's,
it's the buckles. Okay.

Plop this around. Yup. Okay.

Okay, put your foot now.

You know, I'm not helpless,
you know?

I-I'm actually very good
at a lot of different things.

Um, I know many forms of dance.

I'm actually really good
at salsa and ballroom.

- Uh, they're on point.
- Okay, I believe you.

So you don't have
two left feet.

You just get 'em flipped around
sometimes, huh?

Yes.

You're good to go.
Now key is the walking up.

You got it?

Easy, just nice and...

Oh, easy, easy.

- Just nice and easy.
- Okay, I got it, I got it.

- Oh! You're contagious!
- Ooh. See?

- No!
- How're you supposed to help me?

How are you supposed to help me?
Okay. Okay.

Well, Bridget,
I don't know about you,

but I am ready
to get out on the snow,

and hopefully
not take a real fall.

Uh, yes, I actually hope you're
a lot more graceful on the snow

than you are here on this,
on this grass.

And I think that is our cue
to get this tour going.

Are we ready?

- Vamanos.
- Wish us luck.

This way. I'll stay behind you
just in case.

Oh. We're gonna take a while.

All right, here we go.

Do I need to hold your hand
the entire time?

Mm, what's going on over here?

Hey, hey,
no peeking! It's a surprise.

Well, it smells like
slow-cooked beef to me.

You got me.

It's my Bavarian
slow-cooked pot roast.

But I bet you'll never guess
my secret sauce ingredient.

Is it German beer?

It is! H-how did you know?

Oh, well, the bottle is actually
right over there behind you.

- So I cheated.
- Uh...

Wow.
Sneaky little elf on a shelf.

Sorry.

You know, actually,
if you like pork...

- You have to try pernil.
- Pernil?

Yeah, it's slow-roasted pork,
but Puerto Rican style.

And we make it
with a lot of different spices.

There's a nice layer of fat
left on the pork shoulder,

and then we serve it with
yellow rice and pigeon peas.

- Mm! Sounds heavenly.
- Oh, it is.

You'll have to show me how
to make it. Get me the recipe.

Yeah, uh, I'll get it
from my Aunt Marta.

Wonderful! Maybe we can make it
together later this week.

Look, I am always trying
to show up Wally.

To be honest,
he's a better cook.

- Aw.
- Mm-hmm.

- Hey.
- Those are delicious, huh?

Oh, yeah,
I always gain at least a pound

eating them
when I come home for Christmas.

Oh, yes, uh, rightfully so.
I would, too.

So I was, um, just watching
our spot from this morning.

It's... it's quite good.

Yeah, I guess we owe Eddie
some credit.

- He knew what he was doing.
- Um, yes, he did.

E-especially because
he caught that part

with you
tripping over the snowshoe.

Oh, geez!

- So bad!
- Whoo! It was money!

- Oh...
- Oh, it's cold.

- Oh.
- You're not wrong. Whoo!

Yeah, I got, uh...

somethin' for you right here.

Just, um, you know, it's... Ah!

- There it is.
- Very nice.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You know what's gonna make this
even more perfect?

- What's that?
- Some of these.

Oh, please, I am...

I've reached my limit.

All right, I'll help you out,
thank you.

- Yeah.
- Cheers.

Dang it. I'll take the last one.

Mm! I knew it.

I mean, these antlers.

These creatures are so majestic.

And, wow, if they aren't just
totally domesticated.

Drake, aren't you just in awe?

They truly
are incredible creatures.

You know, I grew up around
some of these deer.

They can live up to 20 years
here on the farm.

Wow! And-and...

These younger ones, with
the-the smaller antlers...

- How old are they?
- Actually...

Antlers don't dictate the age,
they shed their antlers

once a year and grow new ones.

- Wow! Can you believe that?
- Crazy, huh?

And let me tell you,
some of these antlers, sharp!

Careful.

Maybe that's how
Rudolph got his red nose!

Prancer nipped him one.

Well, believe it or not,
some reindeer

really do have a red nose.

It's the result
of densely-packed blood vessels

just beneath the skin's surface.

- No.
- Yup.

So maybe Rudolph isn't a rarity.

Mm...

Hey, everyone,
we predict Santa's reindeer.

Uh, it is raining reindeer

up here in Leavenworth
quite literally.

Now, um, can someone please get
this message to Santa for me?

If your eight tiny reindeer
ever get tired,

these guys over here at the farm
are ready

to rock out with you
on Christmas Eve!

So nice to meet you.

Who's next? Get on up here!

Everybody say KQV!

- Hi, I'm Tatum.
- Reindeer!

It's so nice meeting you guys.
Yup, take care.

- Have a lovely day.
- Have a good day.

- Well, that was a hit.
- It was good. Yes.

You are
a bona fide reindeer whisperer.

- They absolutely loved you.
- Uh, no.

Uh, what they loved
was that magical reindeer food

I coerced from the lady
who runs the farm.

All the same, uh, you had them
eating out of your hand

like you were Mrs. Claus
or something. I-I'm impressed.

Anyways, I mean...

You really seem to have
the lady fans

eating out of your hand.

Must be exhausting
being so special, hm?

Nah, I wouldn't think
about that.

A special guy

needs special girls. Tsk.

Where did you learn how to cook
like this, Bridget?

Well, my aunt actually taught me
everything I know.

She is such an amazing cook.

And she got all her recipes
from my abuelita in Puerto Rico

because she has a restaurant
there, so...

- Just kept it in the family.
- Very cool.

- So, Lisa, how were the ratings?
- Mm!

The livestreams are a hit,
playbacks on the morning show

are up another ten percent,

which is normal
for the week of Christmas,

but PR says that it's more so
now than ever before.

Wow, so I guess
being on location

is paying off then, huh, Drake?

Maybe we should do this
more often.

Well, that and the fact
that we have a special co-host

keeping it spicy.

Well, thank you, actually,
both, for having me.

Um, and, of course, Lisa and
Eddie, for all of your hard work

and the Kincaids
for your hospitality.

Just, it's been so lovely
being here.

What a wonderful holiday trip.

- I concur!
- Thank you.

- And I'll cheers to that.
- Yeah!

- Cheers!
- Salut.

- Cheers.
- Guys.

Ooh, good girl!

Oof! Oof, it's cold!

That was sweet of you to take
Trixie out for your mom.

Well, it's, uh...

It's been my job
all through school

since my mom got her as a puppy.

Dillon is not to be trusted
with the dog.

Oh, okay. So, uh, you're saying
that you're the mama's boy?

Oh, yeah, I still am.

- Yeah, I believe it.
- Oh, really?

I do, I do.

So, um...

What about your parents? I've
heard you talk about your aunt.

But... Are they both
still back in Puerto Rico or...

My mother was, and, um,
my dad grew up in the US,

but we don't really talk much.

They separated
when I was little, um...

And he has a new family, but...

You know, he sends money

and birthday wishes
every single year.

It does not fail, I just...

It's probably
just what he can do.

- That's great.
- And my mother...

She passed a few years ago.
Uh, she was sick.

Oh, man, I'm, I'm really sorry.

Thanks.

She got to see me on TV
just before she passed and...

It was like a dream come true,
uh, for her.

She really thought
I had made it.

You have. I mean...

Look, you're on
one of the best networks on TV,

and really good at what you do.

Yeah, I'm sure
she's watching somewhere,

extremely proud of you.

Yeah, thanks.

Growing up here
must've been like

living in a fairy tale.

Yeah, sometimes.

As you now know,
my mom can be a bit whimsical.

So, uh,

holidays were always
off the charts.

But, man, summertime,

that, that's my favorite time
of year.

- Yeah?
- Yeah, yeah.

Hiking and-and hot springs,

a little weekend trip
to Spokane.

Nothing beats the beauty
of it. Oh, I love it.

Yeah, I bet. So, then,
why would you ever leave?

Well, I, uh, went to college
in, uh, California,

and... decided to stay.

You know, I guess
something called me to it.

Mm-hmm.

- How about you?
- Oh, I grew up in California.

'Cause that's where
my dad's from and...

Um, then my aunt,
she got a job sponsorship in LA,

so then she came, too.

And it's just always been
just the two of us.

And, uh, boyfriends?

- Got any of those?
- Oh, man, please.

You know what I say,
dating in LA feels like

going to a store
where nothing is available.

So what is the point?

Well, you know, maybe you, uh,
just haven't found the section

that suits your style.

Okay. So what's your excuse
for being single?

Oh, man!

I don't know, I guess I just...

haven't found the right fit.

Isn't that what
alterations are for?

- Wow!
- I had to.

- My mind is blown.
- You're welcome.

You are so welcome.

Hey, uh, you want to go
into town tomorrow?

We can stop by Rhein Haus,
check it out.

Yeah, sure.

And how about
I bring Eddie's GoPro,

and I will put my amazing camera
operating skills to work?

You're gonna be shocked.

Well, I can't wait to see these
amazing camera operating skills.

Good.

All right, all right, so, uh,

sneak away seven-ish?

Yeah, perfect.

All right, here we are.

Okay.

And this is the Nutcracker
Museum's mascot, Karl.

Leavenworth's most famous local.

Wait, he's even more famous
than you?

Oh, without a doubt.

Karl was carved by Karl Rappl.
Took 18 months to make.

Came all the way
from the real Germany

to join museum owners
George and Arlene Wagner's side.

Mm.

He's wonderful.
Everything in here is.

Yeah, well,
you haven't seen the half of it.

Wait till I show you upstairs.

I can't believe it. I mean,
there's just so many of them.

- All right.
- Uh, what, hundreds?

Over 1400, to be exact.

- Oh, wow.
- Mm-hmm.

Uh, it's-it's magical.
I mean, really, it is.

- Look here...
- How long has this...

How long has this been here for?

- Over 25 years. Yeah.
- Mm.

Used to be a-a private show,
and then they made it public

and now
people from all over can see.

Yeah.

Oh, and it's not just nutcrackers.

- There's other stuff here, too.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Not just the kind we know
from Christmas plays.

You know, there's these
European wooden figurals,

the kind they used
in Victorian tableware,

all kinds made from ebony,

metal, boxwood, you name it.

What?

Oh, uh, nothin'. I just...

Uh, isn't there a big story
you wanna tell

with that camera in your hand?

Oh. Yes, uh...

We should probably do a piece,

and, you know, give Lisa
what she's looking for.

But I just wanna enjoy it
for a moment, you know?

- For myself, too.
- Yeah.

I know exactly what you mean.

- Hm.
- Show you somethin' else.

- Ooh!
- Huh?

- Right?
- Wow, I...

I'm not gonna know
what to choose.

Uh, do they offer
a sample platter?

Because I want to try
all the things.

Well, I can honestly say I've
tried just about everything,

and honestly, no matter
what you choose, can't go wrong.

Mm. Okay, then.

- Not that that helps.
- Not at all.

- Hi. Uh, let's see.
- Hey, how are ya?

All right then, sir,
I'm going to have

a soft-iced gingerbread cookie

with this pink
buttercream frosting.

A marionberry scone.

- Oh, a tiramisu cake.
- Yes.

Oh, and, yum,
I-I have to do this.

Gigantic cinnamon roll.

Oh, and can I have
a double cappuccino

just so I do not go
into a food coma later?

And what would you like?

I wanna come back
to get some pastries

to take back to my aunt,
but I'm just afraid

of what I'm gonna eat.

And I'm afraid
if I keep eating with you,

I need to ask Santa for some
bigger sweaters this Christmas.

So how long has this place been
around? Did you come as a kid?

Yeah, I did,
this place opened up

when I was about ten,
I wanna say.

And, uh, Dillon and I,
we used to save all our money.

We'd, uh, buy mom and dad
these little cakes

for their birthday from here.

- Aww, that's so sweet.
- Yeah.

And what about in high school?

Is this also where you brought
the ladies on a first date?

- Absolutely not.
- Okay.

I had a job in high school,
I took 'em somewhere fancy,

like Andreas Keller.

Oh, okay. And what was
this, this big job?

I worked for the local
visitors center, actually.

You know, showed tourists
all around town every weekend.

That's how you know so much
of this history.

Well, to be fair,
everyone around here

knows the town's history.

It's part of the town's pride.

- Oh.
- What about you?

- Have a job in high school?
- Yeah.

I was an English tutor for
young, Spanish-speaking kiddos

coming from Puerto Rico.

I still do it for some kids.

It's just not something
I charge for.

Oh, that's, that's really sweet.

- That food was amazing!
- Told ya.

I think we need to walk
the entire town again

to burn off all the calories
I've had today.

Or we can go say hi to my mom
right here.

Take a walk in the Kringle
after-hours.

You wouldn't believe
how magical it is at night.

- Yeah, let's do it.
- Come on.

Well, here we are.

Okay, town tour guide,
tell me more about this place.

Well, uh, it first opened up
when I was a kid.

- Back in '86.
- Oh, wow.

Uh, so these places really
are your childhood, then, huh?

Hm, 100%.

And my mom started working
holidays here

as long as I can remember.

Started reading 'Twas
the Night Before Christmas

right here to all the kids
every afternoon.

Aww... I wanna be
a part of that.

So great.

So how did
she and your dad meet?

They are so cute together.

Trust me. It wasn't as romantic
as you might think.

- We met at the bank.
- Oh.

He came in to do
a wire transfer,

he asked me out on a date.

I believe he was wiring
his college tuition.

So what did you say?

Well, I said, "If you're moving
soon to go away to college,

well, then, no.

But if you come back some day
and I'm still here,

then, yeah,
I'll go out with you."

- Okay.
- Yeah, it sounds like dad.

So, you said
your aunt loves church.

Oh, yeah, it's her thing.

Well, I think I have
just the thing for her.

It's a snow-covered countryside
Catholic Christmas church.

Oh!

It's perfect.

- Thank you.
- Wonderful!

Isn't it a little worrisome
they're still not back?

They went offline hours ago.

Oh, hey. There they are.

- Hello!
- Hey!

Hola! Ooh.
What are we drinking?

- Hot toddies. You want one?
- I would love one.

- Yeah?
- I'll go make us a couple.

No, I'll help you.
You don't make 'em good.

Uh-oh.

- Really? Oh, thanks.
- Really!

So how'd the rest of the day go?

It was nice.
Um, how are the clips?

Oh, fantastic! And the ratings
are still growing.

We had an online
frenzy of fans

watching your excursions
around town this afternoon,

and over 90,000 viewers
today alone.

- What?
- What?

Which means
even more viewers tomorrow

as the onliners create a buzz.

- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.

I can't wait
to watch the playback.

- You haven't watched them yet?
- No.

Wow! Well, I guess...

Then you missed my, uh, clip

making pinecone wreaths
here on the property, too, huh?

Yeah, I guess
that I missed that all,

sadly, but I'm gonna... I'll
have to watch it tonight though.

So what is it exactly you two
were so busy doing this evening?

We thought for sure
you'd be back for diner.

- Wally saved you some schnitzel.
- Aww! That's sweet.

Uh, we actually had dinner
downtown, though,

in this great little German
restaurant in this basement.

It was delicious!

And I got to see
the Christmas store at night.

- So cute.
- Aww!

It sounds like the two of you
had a lot fun.

Well, that sounds cute,

but I think having snow
for the snowcast

is a bit more of a pressing
issue for me anyway.

Um, well, I am gonna go to bed.

What? Already?

Yeah, I'm pretty tired.

Uh, making pinecone wreaths
without the help

of my co-host today proved to be
quite the daunting debacle.

- Right. Well, I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

I'm sure you were great.
You always are.

Thank you. Goodnight, everyone.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

- For you.
- Thank you.

- You're welcome.
- Mm! Smells good.

So, uh, Dillon said
the clips were a hit?

Yup. I was just telling Bridget.

Guess the viewers
just love the two of you.

The two of us? That's rich.

Uh, they probably can't get
enough of Christmas Town, USA.

What? Are you kidding?
We crushed it!

Okay, then, uh, so cheers to us
and Christmas in Leavenworth.

Yeah.

Cheers.

Eye contact. Eye contact.

From the 155 Douglas Fir
and Pine trees

used to create
this exquisite log cabin,

to the giant
hand-picked river rocks

used to make
the walk-around fireplace,

this destination winery has no
shortage of holiday merrymaking.

That's right, Tatum,
the Icicle Ridge Winery

is a classic staple
of our humble holiday town.

So who's ready
for the grand tour?

That was great. Uh, now let's
get Bridget on the grapevines.

Drake, uh, why don't you come in
during Bridget's, uh, spot?

You could, uh,
bring in a bottle,

say it's time for wine-tasting.

- I like it.
- Yeah.

Hey, Dill,
grab me a bottle of your best.

- Yes, I think... You know...
- So just, I was...

Um, hello.
What about me? What am I doing?

Oh, Tatum, uh, why don't you go
pick out some wines

for the, uh, sip-and-paint?
And we'll be right there.

Thanks.

Um...

And spanning over five acres
of productive grapevines

here in the foothills
of the Cascade Mountains,

Icicle Ridge
is no stranger to snow

as they get over 90 inches
of snow per year.

I mean, look at this,
it's magical.

Well, I guess that's one thing
we can scratch

from Santa's wish list.

You know what
I'm wishin' for here?

What are you wishin' for?

A flight inside from the freeze.

- Flight of wine, that is.
- Oh-ho-ho.

Guess Drake Kincaid
has jokes now.

- I have my moments.
- Cut!

Well, that was a tree-topper
on my Christmas tree.

- Let's drink!
- Yes, cheers!

- Do it!
- Good job.

I don't know
what I'm gonna paint!

And here you go.

- Ooh. Such service.
- Yeah.

I worked here in high school,
and law school summers.

You got a bona fide holiday
sommelier at your service.

Okay, so, uh,
which one should I try first?

Just go in the order
of the numbers.

Well, you can go in the order
of the numbers,

but I actually prefer to go
by the tastiest.

- And then I'll save--
- Save the best one for last?

My brother does
the exact same thing.

Okay, sipping time's up.
Brushes down.

- Eeh!
- Let's see 'em!

Your perfect holiday
on canvas with acrylics.

Nay! Uh-uh-uh! No peeking.
You first.

All right.

My perfect holiday.

What's in the stocking
from Santa?

Well, hopefully,
season tickets to the Lakers.

Oh.

Okay, Tatum, your turn.

I am dreaming
of a White Christmas.

Very nice.

And, Bridget?

So I went with a cozy little

country Christmas stoop.

Mm. So Schpatzel?

Spetch-z-leh.

Mm! Well, it is delish,
even though I can't say that.

So I will just eat it.

This mushroom sauce is so good,
babe, I'm in heaven.

We have to learn
how to make this at home.

Mm, yeah, and, you know,

if we replace the mushrooms
with, like, melted cheese,

and you have the perfect dish
for kids. Hm.

Oh, are you two thinkin'
about having kids?

- Ed, you didn't tell me this.
- No.

This is news to me, too, Lisa.

I mean, look,
it's not a must right now,

but we think it might be
a good time to try.

We're not getting younger,
and, you know,

we both want a child, maybe two.

And if the first one's like me,
we'll have two.

- Oh, geez.
- It's like her, one is enough.

- My God! Better watch yourself.
- Wow.

I'm teasing, babe, any child
of ours that's like you

will be the apple of my eye.

Okay.

Go!

♪ And all.. ♪

- Let's show 'em how it's done.

All right.

Good morning.

Here you go,
one for you, for you.

- And here's one for you.
- What is this?

Our script for the snowcast,
of course.

Don't worry,
I left a little bit of room

for Bridget's
stellar improvisational skills

just in case
we don't get any snow,

so you can have a little fun.

This has you and Drake
doing the entire snowcast

and then just me getting
covered in snow at the end.

Oh, like I said, it's your spot.

You have room to say
whatever you want.

Those pastries look delicious.

I need coffee.

Anybody need anything
from the kitchen?

- I'm good.
- Uh...

Um, would you guys mind if I
talk to Lisa alone for a moment?

- Sure.
- Thanks.

Yeah.

Bridget, I am so sorry.

I had no idea she was writing
a script for the snowcast.

- I swear.
- Yeah, no. Clearly.

But I thought that the network
wanted me to host the snowcast.

I know, and I figured
they were just here for the week

for the bells and whistles.

But I mean, she's Tatum Tilson.

What should I do?

Call the network
and tattle and say

that she wants to open
the special?

- I will.
- Yeah, I know. I guess not.

- Um...
- Look.

Why don't you just work
on your own thing?

They can film theirs and
we just do separate segments.

But put yours first in the edit.

- I will.
- I know you will.

Nope. You know what? It's fine.

We'll just do the livestream
like we originally planned

and I'll just have
to show the world

that we saved the best for last.

That's right.

Oh.

Is it wishful thinking
that these, uh, weather patterns

continue to shift?

I mean, you never know.

I really hope it keeps snowing
like this for tomorrow.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine. Never better.

Well, what was that about earlier

with, uh, you know, the script
and Lisa and all?

Oh, uh, yeah, that was just
business as usual.

Come on.

No, I just was, um,
a little confused

as to what my part was
in the snowcast. That's all.

Well, I mean, it's exactly what
we talked about earlier, right?

- We're all doing this together.
- Yeah, right.

Except, you and Tatum
are the stars

and I'm just the weatherwoman.

Okay.

You thought
that you were hosting

this whole thing alone.

That's why you were so surprised
when you saw

that we'd come here as well, huh?

Yeah, I think
there was just, um,

crossed wires from above,
I suppose.

Right. Yeah.

Well, I don't know if this
helps, but in Tatum's defense,

they didn't really tell us

exactly why we were coming here
as well.

I mean, they just put Lisa
in charge and...

Yeah, that's right,
and Lisa is a big fan

of doing what comes naturally

and-and producing pieces
from the heart.

That's why she and I get along.

We produce spots
the same exact way.

And Tatum is the exact opposite.

Both of you are.

So polished,
super rehearsed, um...

But that's probably why
you both work so great together.

Also probably why
the younger demographic

doesn't watch our morning show

because we're predictable
and a little too stale.

I always knew you'd skyrocket
to the top eventually.

And yet you still chose Tatum
over me.

Look, all I know is

our ratings have been up
all week.

And I'm pretty sure
that's because of you.

No, you don't need to be
co-hosting a show with me.

You deserve your very own show.

Thanks.

Okay, okay, okay,
first of all,

um... I'd like to make a cheers

to our eldest son Drake

for bringing your beautiful
friends here for Christmas

and for helping us
show the world

a little magical slice
of our town on TV.

We're very proud of our boys
and the men you've become.

Aww...

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- To all of you.
- So sweet.

- Mm!
- All right.

Well, now that my sweet husband

has finished
his sappy sentiments

and, uh, nearly made
this old mama cry...

well, I think we should all
go around the fire

and tell
our best Christmas wish.

- Mm.
- Honey, you go first.

Well, oh, okay, well,
that's-that's-that's easy.

Um, my Christmas wish, uh,
this year is pretty simple,

and that is to, uh, not screw up
the Christmas dinner again,

because last year
your mother gave me some grief

about the apple-sausage stuffing
was too dry

and the potato dumplings
were undercooked.

So my goal this year
is to dress to impress your ma.

- Okay.
- Grandma, impressed?

- Yeah.
- Not gonna happen.

- Better luck with that one.
- Okay.

Son, what about you?
What's your Christmas wish?

My Christmas wish?

Promotion from associate
to partner at my firm.

Please, please, please,
please, please.

I think I can beat that.

- Ahem...
- Um, okay.

So my very big Christmas wish

is pretty simple.

- Always the same.
- Yup.

- But I wish for world peace.
- World peace.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know me well.

- Tatum, what about you?
- Um...

Well, I suppose
it's a little late to be wishing

for holiday love, so I will wish

for chart-topping ratings
this Christmas.

I will definitely take that.

But, you know, Tatum,

the Wenatchee Valley
Humane Society

isn't too far from here.

I'm not a dog person.

- Uh, Eddie?
- Oh.

My Christmas wish, well,

I think it's both of our
Christmas wish, which is...

- Well, you know what that is.
- Yeah.

- A little mini-me.
- Hey!

Bridget,
I think yours is probably

a bit easier to accomplish
than ours or Drake's.

Yeah, okay, so I actually had
two Christmas wishes this year,

and the big one is, you know,
slowly but surely coming true,

and that's for Puerto Rico
to, you know, come back strong.

Um, and the second one is,

please let it snow
tomorrow night.

Oh, right.

- Let it snow.
- Well, cheers again, then.

For all our wishes to come true
and to let it snow.

Let it snow! Let it snow!

- Yes!
- Cheers!

- Hey.
- Hey.

Do you see it up there?

- That's the North Star.
- Beautiful.

It's also called Polaris
or the North Pole Star

because it's the closest
to the celestial North Pole.

- Oh, yeah?
- And...

It's the one that Santa uses
each year

to guide his sleigh
all the way home.

That... Mm-hmm.

Did you learn that
in meteorology school?

No!

I actually didn't go
to meteorology school.

I took
some atmospheric science courses

and I know the math models a lot
better than I did back then,

but I got
my Bachelor's in Journalism.

Oh! I see.

So that's where your love
for reporting comes from.

Yeah.

But I've actually come
to love the weather, though.

It's always changing,

but the power of its patterns

always remains the same.
I just, I love that.

Did you know that today is the
first day of winter solstice?

- So exciting!
- Remind me.

- What solstice is again?
- So...

It's an astronomical event
that's caused

by the Earth's axis and its
orbital motion around the sun.

- Is that what you remember?
- Somethin' like that.

Basically, the sun travels the
shortest path through the sky

at winter solstice,
which means that today

had the least amount of daylight
in the entire year,

therefore making tonight
the longest night.

- Cool, huh?
- Fascinating.

And it's probably why
it is so cold tonight.

Yes, it has definitely dropped
a few degrees tonight.

- Hasn't it?
- Uh, yup.

And I am not used to this.

So if you find me frozen
before this all ends,

you can tell my aunt
that at least in the end

I did not feel my toes,
or a lot of everything else.

Oh...

Well, it's not gonna help
your toes much, but...

you just got to have somethin'
around your neck.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

You think it's cold out here.

It's gonna be a lot colder
back at the lodge, I'll bet.

It was freezing last night,
I had to get an extra blanket.

But I got you guys
some extra cider.

- Thanks.
- Yeah, thank you.

It's, uh, the lake freeze.

- Most likely.
- Huh?

The reason why it's so cold
at the lodge is because

we're close to the lake, and
the closer you are to the lake

means more than likely that
the warm air from the land rises

so that the cold air
from the lake can

fill in the space in between.

Well, I don't know
about any lake freeze,

but I do know
that it is a lot warmer

over there by the fire.

Yeah, we should, uh, we should
probably get back. Huh?

Yes, I would love
to keep my toes.

- Thank you for this.
- Mm-hmm.

Hm. So, Drake.

Um, you and Bridget,

is there something I should know
about going on between you two?

- What?
- I-I-I don't mean to pry.

I just, uh,
I couldn't help but notice.

I mean, I asked
if you wanted to have a dinner

while we were here, and you
didn't think there'd be time,

but you managed to find time
to have dinner with her,

and you two seem to be
hanging out an awful lot.

Well...

I assure you, there's nothing
going on between me and Bridget.

And, look.

Sorry we didn't have
the time to grab some dinner

and celebrate, but...

I don't know,
why don't we, uh...

Why don't we try to have
some breakfast Christmas Eve

before the Festhalle event?

Sure, yeah. That sounds great.

All right. Lookin' forward.

- Let's go get warm.
- Okay.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

No, no, no, ma, ma,
you'll do it too tight.

Oh!

- Here, ma, I got it.
- No, no, no.

Both of you away. Where's dad?

I am here, right here.

I've been up all night
baking for today's festivities.

Mm, those smell good.
What are they?

Lebkuchen, my friend.

These are
traditional German cookies,

powdered in spice to perfection.

- Uh, look, here. Have one.
- Oh, yes, sir.

- Hey, Bridget, hurry up!
- I'm coming!

Mm-mm!

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Oh, you have some powdered sugar
right there.

Thank you.

You ladies
look absolutely stunning.

- Thank you.
- Well...

I think it's time
for a snowcast.

Ooh. This is incredible!

- Oh, and check it out.
- Ooh! Hey!

The weather
doesn't cooperate,

we bring the snow to us instead.

Oh, my goodness. Snow machines?

I love it!
Where did you find this?

The city is letting us
borrow them. Yeah.

They, uh, use them
for events and stuff.

Isn't it great?
It was all Drake's idea.

It's amazing. And look.

America can think
it's really snowing.

Okay, wait, um,
so I'm not gonna pretend

it's really snowing, right?
It's a schtick.

Like, I lean into the fun
of the fake snow

and then just announce that the
real stuff is headed this way?

But the real stuff
is headed this way,

and that's what
everyone wants to see.

The illusion is still there.

So who cares
what we do on camera?

America wants to see real snow,
just like a real Santa.

Right, so that's just it.
It's not real snow.

So why wouldn't we wait for
the real stuff to hit the ground

and then roll?

I mean, we could.

But what
if the real snow doesn't come?

I mean, Lisa's got a point,
I mean,

we know it's supposed to snow
at some point,

but there's really no guarantee.
Right?

I'm not sure we can keep
the fans here all night.

So, um, couldn't we get
some footage of them now?

And then you and Tatum can do
your spot first and so on?

Or I can just play into the fact
that it's fake snow,

have some fun with it,
I'll promise the real deal later

and then I'll do a pick-up
tomorrow morning at the lodge

with the real snow
on the ground.

Oh, actually that could work.
Like, that could be cute.

Like a-a quick Christmas Eve
frolic in the snow

with all three of you.

Yeah, announcing Merry Christmas
and Top Of The Morning, America

right here
in Christmas Town, USA.

Yeah, sort of like
a-a bookend to the spot,

and we could do it
as a, as a livestream.

- Okay. Thanks.
- Yeah.

But that's not the plan. Is it?

I mean, we were supposed to do
the script,

and then Bridget announces
the snow,

and then the snow arrives
here in Leavenworth.

- Cut, and go to print.
- Right.

But you're not the one doing
the dishonest reporting, Tatum.

Faking the forecast for the sake
of sticking to a script?

I mean, that's just making me
the joke, isn't it?

But it's not for the script.
It's for the sake of the story.

In case you forgot, everyone
lives for a great story.

It's junk food for the soul,
right, Lisa?

Not always.

Oh, think about it. And if you
don't wanna do it, I will.

Um, well, I'm gonna go take
some selfies with our fans.

You should, too.

You do what you want to do.

It's your spot. Okay?

Thanks.
I'm just gonna need a minute.

Yeah.

Will you check on her
in a little bit?

I don't know what to do, titi.
Am I overreacting?

I mean, because maybe,
maybe I am just

the silly weather girl
everyone says I am

and I'm just making a big deal
out of nothing.

No, sobrina.
What if your mother heard?

You're so much more,
and if the snow won't fall

for that stuck-up show host,
neither should you.

Hm. Okay. Well, thank you.

I have to go,
we're gonna be starting soon.

But I will see you
tomorrow night for mass.

Sounds good, mija.
I love you.

I love you, too. Muah.

So sad you're leaving so soon.

Really wish you could
come to the Festhalle.

Yeah, me, too, I've-I've fallen
in love with Leavenworth,

despite this cold.

Yeah. Yeah.

Um, you know,
maybe when I get back from LA

or after the New Year,
I don't know,

we can have dinner sometime?

- Yeah, I'd like that.
- Good.

So tell me,
how does this thing work anyway?

Oh, y-you don't have to do anything.

Just click
your heels together twice

and I'll give you as much snow
as you want.

Perfect, well, let's turn
that thing all the way up

'cause I'm dreaming
of a White Christmas.

You got it.

By the way, do you have any idea
what's going on with those two?

I don't mean to be
a nosy Rudolph, but...

Who? My brother and Bridget?

Well, of course, sparks are
flying. They have been all week.

Drake's had a thing for Bridget
for, for forever, really.

I'm sorry?

What? You didn't know? Come on.

I figured, surely of all people,
you would know.

What's that
supposed to mean?

Nothing, never mind.
Forget I said anything.

It's... You know,
it's not my place to--

Dillon,
tell me what you know now,

so I don't have to ask Drake
about it live on camera later.

Fine, fine. Fine.

Drake wanted Bridget,
but I think ultimately

the network chose you
because they wanted Bridget

to solo the nightly news
to get the ratings back up.

And Drake was relieved
because he didn't want

a conflict of interest
on his hand

because he had a crush
on his co-host.

- That's all.
- Wait.

- So I was a consolation prize?
- I wouldn't say that.

I mean,
he didn't even know you then.

I mean,
when he came home last year,

he said that you were new
to the network.

I was. I was new to the news.

And apparently I still am

because all of this
is news to me.

But...

Whatever. Everything happens
for a reason, right?

And the show must go on.

So...

Good evening, everyone, I'm
Lisa Liu Lawson from KQV News.

And thank you so much
for being here

at our annual snowcast this year
right here in Leavenworth.

Uh, just a few quick things, uh,
once our cameras start rolling,

I need you to keep your talking
to a whisper,

silence your cell phones,
and, of course,

cheer on our commentators
on air and...

Oh, oh, yes, um, and don't
forget, while you're here,

before you leave,
make sure you grab a bag

of the yummy delicious
Lebkuchen cookies,

courtesy of the Kincaids.

Now, without further ado,
I give you Drake Kincaid

and Tatum Tilson
of Top Of The Morning!

Man, oh, man, doesn't feel like
a regular morning.

Does it, Drake? Oh, wait, that's
'cause it's not morning at all!

For once we are up way
past our bedtime, huh?

Well, it's worth it to see
all these beautiful lights.

Here we are in beautiful
downtown Leavenworth,

a charming Bavarian hideaway
nestled deep in the mountains

just south of Lake Wenatchee, Washington,

where you can guarantee you're
gonna quench your penchant

for all things Christmas.

That's right, Tatum,
whether taking a stroll

through the Nutcracker Museum

or having a gingerbread party
in the Gingerbread Factory,

it's easy to see
we didn't coin it

Christmas Town, USA,
for nothing.

There's only one thing missing
this week.

A fresh snowfall.

But I think
tonight just might be the night.

One can hope, right,
but even if it doesn't snow,

it simply won't take away
the magic we're feeling

this Christmas,
and when we come back,

a very special hello
from your nightly newscaster

always delivering
your favorite forecasts,

Bridget Torres.

So stick with us.

- Nice.
- If it doesn't snow?

Drake, do you remember when
you and I used to be a team?

Or are you so starry-eyed for
the weatherwoman, you forgot?

I'm not starry-eyed
over Bridget.

- What are you...
- Fine. Whatever.

Just know that you may not have
chosen her for the show

because of your little crush
or whatever,

but the execs chose me.
So let's not forget that, okay?

Drake, is that true?

Because I thought
you picked Tatum

because of your commonalities.

Bridget, look.
I wasn't lying, all right?

The choice wasn't mine ultimately.

Everyone loved you, all right,
but the execs wanted someone

to liven nighttime news,
otherwise it was gonna die.

You were that person.

And I didn't fight them
because, yeah, I like you

and I didn't want it
to get weird.

And I mean,
we all know that Tatum

is a great candidate as well.

Hey, guys, uh,
we're back in ten, nine...

And we're back here
with Bridget Torres,

our favorite forecaster who may
just have some good news for us.

Yes. Uh, I believe I do, Tatum.
Thank you so much.

Now, while we may not have
the real deal here, uh,

faking it seems to be the answer sometimes.

So, hey, why not?

It's Christmas, right?
So everybody say it with me.

Let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow!

Yee-haw!

Bridget?

Oh. Hey, um,
where-where's-where's Bridget?

She decided to stay
at Beaver Valley tonight.

Y-yeah, Lisa and Dillon took her
over just about a minute ago.

Oh, I'm sorry, honey,
I thought you knew.

Thanks, mom.

Oh, it's really coming down
out there.

Yeah, and my flight out
of Wenatchee is on a big delay.

Ugh! This is the worst.

Son, you want some coffee?

Uh, sure, please, thanks.

Comin' up.

- Hey. You okay?
- Mm.

Drake, honey,
why don't you give her a call?

- She hasn't left town yet.
- Yeah.

I was supposed to take her
to the airport this morning,

but all the flights
out of Wenatchee are canceled

or delayed because
of all the ice on the ground.

Yeah, but she has to get home, though.

Hey, dad, can't your SUV
make it into Seattle?

I mean, I'm sure flights are
running just fine out of there.

- No?
- Mm, probably.

Maybe you could offer
to take her there.

Yeah, but I'm not sure she wants
to talk to me right now, and...

I don't blame her, you know?

I'mma go outside.

Morning.

Mm, something smells yummy.

Guess it's too bad Drake and I
are having breakfast

in town today.

Really?

Are you so sure about that?

Why? What's going on?

I don't think Drake was thrilled

with the show you put on yesterday.

And I don't guess you know,

but Bridget left yesterday
because of you.

But good news is, at least
your holiday wish came true.

Ratings are through the roof.

You're a big hit, Tatum.

Congrats.

Morning.

I suppose having breakfast
is off the table.

Nope, there's still some
on the dining-room table

if you want any.

I guess that's fair.

Look, I'm sorry if I ruined
things between you and Bridget.

I didn't like seeing you
have so much chemistry

on camera with someone else.

I've gotten used to it being you
and I the world wants to see.

Yeah, but, Tatum,

you do realize
there is no you and I?

I do now.

I mean, I-I've seen
what's been happening

with you and her all week.
The whole world has.

It's very... authentic.

I guess I just wished

it was happening
between you and me is all.

I'm sorry for that.

I know firsthand
what it's like to like someone

you have to be
professional with.

It's... it's not easy.

Right.

And I-I realized pretty quickly
after we got to this

romantic town that it wasn't
what I thought it was gonna be.

And that's fine, I guess,
that it didn't...

And more so just...

it hurt my feelings thinking
that I was your second choice.

- So...
- Look, Tatum.

You and I have an amazing show

I'm extremely proud of.

I have zero regrets
doing this with you.

I just, you know, I hope

this show is enough, that's all.

So I wasn't just some
consolation prize for you, then?

What? Heck, no! Are you
kidding me? You're Tatum Tilson.

Morning-show host
extraordinaire. Come on.

Thank you.

And again, I'm sorry.

It's fine.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Hey there. Huh.

Hi! What are you doing here?

I think you forgot something
at the lodge.

Aw. Thank you.

I was in such a rush to get out
before the snowfall got worse,

that I just totally forgot.

It's fine.
I'm happy to swing it by.

I'm on my way into town anyway
to get ready

for the performance at
the Festhalle this afternoon.

Oh, that's right. Oh, I'm
so sorry I'm gonna miss that.

You sure you have to? Uh...

Dillon told us that
all the flights are delayed.

- Yeah.
- A-any update on yours?

Yeah. Mine's actually delayed
until 8:45.

It looks like I won't make it
in time for mass, unfortunately.

You know, I think
Drake is a little bit afraid

to talk to you.

He feels so bad
about everything.

And I know he would love
to drive you to Seattle

to catch an earlier flight
i-if you, if you'd let him.

Yeah, you know, I just...

I don't know
if that's such a good idea.

I'm just really not ready
to see him right now.

I'm still so confused
about everything.

Yeah, yeah,
I, I-I totally get it.

And normally, I am not one
to get into my son's business...

but, Bridget...

I have never seen him this crazy
about anyone, like, ever.

You know what's funny
about that?

It's just that this whole time I

thought he didn't even
care for me.

No, on the contrary.

Drake has always felt
you guys were a perfect fit.

Uh, and I know he would've
asked you out then, too,

if Tatum
hadn't muddled the lines

and caused you
to start avoiding him.

Se fue al garete. Wow.

Okay, so this whole time
he didn't say anything

just because he was trying
to keep it professional

and not throw these execs
under the bus?

- Yeah.
- Wow.

I don't know
if I want to commend him

or if I just want to, argh,
scream at him.

Well, I suppose

if you come to the Festhalle,
you can take your pick.

Hm.

You guys look great.

Wow, this is so incredible!

Isn't it?

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, oh, honey,
I'm gonna take this.

- It's-it's the network calling.
- Oh, babe.

Fingers crossed. Good luck.

Lisa Liu Lawson speaking.

Ugh. Should I go
talk to her?

If you think you should.

I should go talk to her,
shouldn't I? You think?

- You should go talk to her.
- Yup.

Thank you. Appreciate that.

I'll take a Gluhwein, too.
Thank you.

And I got hers. I owe you one.

I... Thanks, uh,
but you really didn't need to.

You don't owe me anything, Tatum.

Actually, I do.
I owe you an apology.

I never should've gotten jealous

and I never should've felt
threatened of you and Drake.

He's my co-host. Nothing more.

And I had no right to get
between the two of you, so...

- I'm sorry.
- Thanks.

But, uh, honestly,
I don't even think

there's anything
to get in between, so...

We both know there is.

But since I'm way beyond
trying to convince you

to do things my way,
I will say this one thing.

Drake's a really good guy

and you both deserve
someone good.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Oh, hey. Eeh.
We have to tell you something.

- Oh, okay.
- Come.

- Um...
- Oh, all right.

Bridget, you will never guess
who just called us.

- Who?
- Rashida George.

- The head of the network.
- Okay.

She's been watching you all week
and she thinks it's time

that we give you
your very own show.

What? Seriously?

- My own show?
- Well, I mean, our show.

Eddie and I will produce it.
But, yes, your own show.

Ay, bendito. Really?

Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!

Okay, so, uh,
what else did she say?

Oh, uh, it'll be mid-morning,

following directly after,
uh, Top Of The Morning.

Yeah, and you get to choose
your very own co-host.

- A very Merry Christmas to you.
- What?

Anyone you want.
Or go at it on your own.

It's totally up to you.

Wow, I just...
I can't believe this.

Thank you, both, so much
for believing in me. Thank you.

- What's not to believe?
- Thank you.

Wow.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Well, hello.

You're looking at the new face
of the morning show

following directly after yours.

- Wait, really?
- Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

- Wow! Congrats.
- Thank you.

To all of you.

- Thank you.
- Happy for you.

Yeah...

Well, now it's time for us to go
get some of that Gluhwein, huh?

Well, I think that's
an excellent idea. Let's go.

- See you later.
- Congratulations again.

So...

So, looks like
you're gonna have

some morning competition, Kincaid.

Well, I mean,
it's not really competition

if we're on the same team,
though, right?

- Yeah, guess not.
- Hm.

But I guess we're gonna have
to find a way

to work around each other,
so we're gonna have to learn

how to get along, huh?

Yeah. I guess so.

I promise I'll try my best

if you finally allow me

to take you on a proper date.

Okay, fine.

But I'm just so curious

as to why
you never asked me out before.

So they don't bring me
on to your show,

they hire me
for the nighttime news,

then you see me at work sometimes

and you never asked me out?

Oh, so, uh, are you talking
about in the hallways

when you'd completely avoid me
by looking the other way?

Or the break room you'd escape
from the second I came in?

Oh, I know it must've been

the, uh, office holiday party
last year.

You completely ignored me.

And then to make matters worse,
you were on a cell phone call

when I approached you
from the bar.

So I'm at a loss of words.

- Yeah. We.. Yes.
- Hm.

I was, I was pretty brutal, huh?

Nah, it's...

It's fine.

- I mean, you didn't know me.
- Yeah, that's right.

But you know
what's kind of funny?

Because you're a lot
like your hometown here.

Real frozen on the outside,

but, but all warm and cozy
in the center.

Well, speaking of hometowns...

I should probably
get you out of here.

Yeah, we got a plane we need
you to get on from Seattle,

7:00 p.m. sharp,
so that we can get you home

in time for midnight mass.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah.

We're gonna head out
in my dad's SUV.

- Thank you so much.
- You're welcome.

You know...

as much as I really don't wanna
leave here,

I just really wanna get back
to my aunt.

- I understand.
- But...

Hey, I mean, maybe next year
you can bring me back

and show me some of these
summer activities that you love?

Yeah, I'd really like that.

Good, because...

I really love this place

and I really,
I really like your family, too.

I'm glad to hear that.

Uh, you know what my mom says?

Happy kids make a happy home?

That's, that's the one.

So sweet.

So, uh, listen.

There was just one last thing
I wanted to show you here.

- Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
