All language subtitles for Christmas in evergreen. Hallmark movie 2017

In northern Vermont, so far north that
on clear days you might be able to see

the North Pole, lies the magical town of
Evergreen.

Some say it was the decorations that
made this little town so special, but

others believe it was because of
something else entirely, something you

expect at all, a snow globe.

But this wasn't just any snow globe. No,
they say that if you shake this one

just so, And make one wish the true wish
of your heart.

Christmas magic will make it come true.

Now I know what you're thinking. Could a
snow globe really grant wishes?

Well, maybe the story of Christmas in
Evergreen will help you believe.

Hey, everyone. Here we come.

These guys have got all their shots in
there ready for their first Christmas.

Oh, I can't get over how cute they are.

How's our mama doing?

Molly definitely has her paws full with
these guys.

They sure are going to miss you.

I'm going to miss them, too.

I'm going to miss all my furry patients.

Wait a minute.

You don't have any furry patients in D
.C.? No, I will, but I'm going to be

working in a big clinic.

I don't know if I'll have time for a
pile of pugs.

But aren't you going to miss it?

Of course I will.

But this is a big opportunity.

I can't pass it up.

And you have Dr.

Meyer's info in Montpelier, right?

Yep. He's great.

Yes, he is, but it's going to be
different.

I know.

But different is good, right?

Like having a whole bunch of puppies is
different, and that's a good thing,

right? Yeah, I can't wait to find these
guys a new home.

Bye, Allie.

Now we just got to find a home for you,
Frank.

Allie.

My beauty. No, this is not goodbye.

I'm just dropping off Frank. Besides,
you promised you wouldn't cry.

I'm not.

I was just chopping onions. I'm going to
be home right after Christmas.

Mm -hmm. And then you're going to be
leaving again right after that for good.

And all I'm going to have to remember
you by is the goldfish.

Maybe I should just take care of Frank,
okay? Thanks.

Washington, D .C. has modern
conveniences.

I feel phone.

I know. I hear they even have an airport
now.

Honey, I just want to make sure that
you're sure.

Because this is a big change, Allie. I'm
sure.

It's a great job.

And besides, I'm ready for a change.

And I'm not just talking about the job.

No, Mom.

No, we've been over that Spencer and I
were testing the waters. And there was a

reason that you two broke up, honey.

Yeah, we couldn't handle the long
distance thing. So now we're going to be

the same city and it's not a big deal.
You're going to be spending Christmas

with them, Allie.

And that is a very big deal.

And you're just hugging me right now
just to hush me up, aren't you? No, I'm

hugging you because I love you.

The hushing is just a bonus.

I gotta go.

Oh, so sorry.

In a hurry to get your Christmas plan
started?

Yes, just about to head out of town.

Well, be sure to check the weather
before you go to the airport.

Mother Nature can be unpredictable.

I was just heading out the door. Happy
moving to D .C. day. Hey, it's not

to D .C. day. It's coming to D .C. to
sign the new lease on my apartment day.

I'm sorry. Did they make a card for
that? They make a card for everything.

I cannot believe we're finally going to
be living in the same city together.

Five blocks apart.

Well, the commute will definitely be a
lot easier.

So, I've got some incredible stuff lined
up for us. Dinners, parties. Oh, and on

Christmas Day, you and I are going to be
going to my boss's swanky estate in the

Hamptons. One of the partners. has even
said that we can use this helicopter to

get there.

A helicopter?

Really? Hey, you better get used to it,
okay? This is going to be a brand new

start for us, Allie. Right, and I'm
excited about that. I just want to make

that we're not getting ahead of
ourselves.

Allie, I get it.

I totally get it, okay?

I just want to put the last couple
months behind us.

I mean, this is Christmas.

It's a time for new beginnings.

Absolutely.

And, you know, also...

I love swanky parties.

Beautiful.

I should get back to work, though.

I can't wait to see you tonight.

All right. I'll talk to you soon.

Okay. Bye.

I can do swanky.

Oh.

I got to go.

Christmas call.

Okay. Bye -bye.

Sorry.

Last work call, I promise.

She said that after the last one. And
the one before that.

And the one before that.

And... Oh, okay. Hey, Zoe, now I'm
officially on vacation.

Just you and me off to Florida and our
big cruise on Christmas Day. Won't that

be fun? Sure. We can have fun in
Florida.

I mean, Christmas is supposed to be cool
to snow, but... According to who?

Santa. That's why he wears the suit.

Ah, you know I didn't know that.

But how about this? I'll tell you what.

When we get there, as soon as we get
into our hotel, we will crank the air

conditioning up really high, we will
fill the pool with ice, and it'll be

like living in the North Pole.

Oh, Dad.

You could have walked to D .C. by now.

Don't we have enough real snow?

Oh, this is for the Christmas festival.
You know, the one you're going to miss.

Yes, I'm aware I'm missing the Christmas
festival. Thank you for the reminder.

Well, I tell you, whoever decided to
take over after you planned this thing

crazy. You're taking over the planning.

Like I said.

Oh, boy, don't tell me you're taking
this thing to D .C. Of course I am.

This is my grandpa's truck.

I love this truck.

Obviously he doesn't love you.

Why are we friends again?

Because I'm the only one that's going to
tell you that you will never get this

thing to start.

Oh, yeah?

Watch this.

Oh, it works. Oh, great.

Now you can take me to town hall.

No, I've got to go to the airport.

Well,

it's on the way, and this box is
awkward, so let's go.

You've got to come in. I've got to go.

I want you to see the layout. We're
changing some things.

Come on.

Okay, one minute. You have one minute.

This looks amazing.

You did such a good job. Thank you. It
needs a little bit more sparkle.

Sparkle? Okay.

Here comes the mayor.

I haven't had enough coffee for this.
Not enough coffee in Evergreen.

Michelle, I have an idea.

Good morning, Ezra.

Former resident.

I haven't even left yet.

What's your idea this time, Ezra? I
think we should have an app.

You know, an interactive experience.

The festival is in five days. We can't
get an app made in five days.

We need to find some way to make the
festival current.

You know, we need to shake things up.
This is my first time in charge, and I

don't... want to shake things up my
first year as mayor and i want things

your dad was mayor for 30 years and this
was good enough for him well that's my

point we don't want this to be our
parent festival alley oh don't look at

soon to be former resident hey everyone
came to help barbara hi how's the

incoming a lot oh my goodness so great
i'm opening in two weeks can't believe

it's so nice to have someone come to
evergreen to open a business thanks

of business owners moving away.

Okay, Meanie.

Don't make me tell them about the
incident in second grade.

Best of luck in your new job.

Michelle, since Doc Hadley retired and
moved away, we need to find someone new

to play Santa.

I'm thinking that we go against type.

Younger, more handsome.

Too late. I already got a guy out of
Burlington.

Oh, I think I saw him. He looks like
Santa Claus even without the costume.

he's here already?

Must be getting ready for the role.

Well, okay, if you guys want to be
traditional.

But what about the children's choir?

I mean, can't they do some newer
Christmas songs?

Give me a break.

We got angels, blitzing,

candy canes.

Decorations. Elves.

Fireplace.

Fireplace isn't a Christmas word.

It's what Santa comes down.

Santa comes down the chimney.

Okay. Okay.

How about fruitcake?

Pretty good.

Pretty good.

Okay. My turn.

Your turn. G. Okay.

Angels. Blitzen.

Candy canes. Decorations.

Owls, fruitcake, and gingerbread.

That's a good one.

Thanks.

Except for now I'm hungry.

Okay, you know what?

Yeah, I think we have time to stop. We
just got to make it quick. We got a

flight to catch.

Evergreen. Let's go there.

Yeah, sure.

Sounds good.

Merry Christmas.

Hi. Hi.

Hey, Henry.

What's wrong?

Oh, no, no, no. She's not due for... Oh,
no, Henry. I'm on my way to the

airport. Can't you call Dr.

Myers?

Oh.

Right. Okay.

All right. Well, I'll be there as soon
as I can.

Okay. Bye.

Oh.

I know you don't want me to leave, but
this is ridiculous.

Oh, wow.

This place is beautiful.

How have I never been here before? Wow.

It's perfect here.

This is what Christmas is supposed to
look like. Well, Florida's going to look

like this, too, only more palm trees,
you know?

Hi. Do you need some help?

Oh, no.

It'll start.

Eventually.

Wish me luck.

Oh.

Hey. Did you do that, Dad?

You know, when I tell the story later, I
fully intend to take credit. So, yeah,

let's say I did.

Well, how can I ever thank you?

You can actually direct us to a good
place for lunch.

Oh, well, the Kringle Kitchen is right
here.

It's the best diner in town, and I'm not
just saying that because my folks are

on it. The Kris Kringle kits, goodness,
you guys really do take Christmas

seriously around here, don't you? Yeah,
we sure do.

Well, thanks a lot for your help.

Couldn't have done it without you.

Absolutely. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Hey, Doc.

Sorry,

Henry. She is not in labor.

Are you sure?

I heard her mooing.

Cows moo.

It's a common occurrence.

It was a different kind. It was a... I'm
about to give birth moo.

You better brush up on your bovine,
because she's fine.

What are we going to do if it happens
when you're gone?

You're going to call Dr.

Myers in Montpelier. I have a plane to
catch.

Oh, dear.

Now, Big City Living's going to change
you. Oh, change isn't a bad thing. Look

at that.

You built a whole new barn.

Not a bad thing.

I haven't moved in yet, and it's still
just a barn. Well, I'll still be Allie,

just in a new city.

So what are you going to do with the old
barn once you move in?

I don't know.

Tear it down, probably.

See that, Henry? Even more change in the
air. You can feel it.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Doc.

There we go.

Bye. Bye.

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for
coming.

There you go. Thanks a lot.

Merry Christmas, then. Let's not really
grant wishes.

Like the sign says, only if you know
what your heart really wants.

Where did it come from?

See, nobody knows.

One day, right after we opened this
diner, it just showed up on our

It's been here ever since.

With that sign, people come from all
over to make wishes.

It's a tradition here in Evergreen.

Have you ever made one?

Yeah, I have.

When I first got it, I wished to have a
little girl just like you.

You know what?

My wish came true.

So would you like to try it? Sure.

All right.

Careful, Zoe.

Here. In effort.

Your turn, Dad.

No, thanks.

Oh, come on, Dad. Don't be shy.

I'm sure whatever Zoe wished for is good
enough for both of us.

Okay.

Thank you.

You come back and tell us how that wish
turned out, okay?

Okay. Bye.

Bye, honey.

Merry Christmas.

Can't we stay a little longer?

Zoe, the sooner we get to the airport,
the sooner we get to Florida.

Florida will be great, but... But what?

Just look at this place. I promise,
Florida is going to be so much fun, and

and me, we are going to have the best
Christmas ever.

Okay?

Okay, Dad.

Okay. All right.

And you go, kiddo.

So, you're on your way. All packed up
and ready to go.

Mom. I'm not going to cry.

You're going to be back next week.

Exactly. We'll have time for our big
emotional goodbye then.

Right.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, sweetheart.

You travel safely. I will.

Bye, Daddy.

Goodbye, sweetheart.

Family hug. Okay. Okay.

I love you guys.

Popping onions.

Here you go. Have a nice flight. Thanks
a lot.

Hello.

Here you go, sir. Have a nice flight.

Washington, D .C., please.

Okay,

please tell him that Dr. Bellamy called
and that I'll be back after the new

year. Okay, thanks so much.

Last work call, I promise.

It's okay, Dad.

I'm having fun.

Yeah? Okay, what's been your favorite
part so far?

Evergreen, of course.

Oh, hey.

If it isn't my mechanic and her
assistant.

Hi. What are you doing here?

Taking an airplane.

We are, too.

We're going to Florida.

Washington, D .C. I'm Allie, by the way.
I'm Ryan. And this is Zoe. Hi, Zoe.

How was lunch?

It was great.

And I made a wish on the snow globe.

I'm pretty sure it's what my heart
wanted.

You know, my grandpa used to say, the
heart knows what it wants even when the

head doesn't.

So what did you wish for?

I can't tell you, or else it won't come
true.

But I'm starting to worry that it's not
going to come true anyway.

Hmm. Well, maybe you should wish for it
again.

Give it a little turbo boost.

But I don't have the snow globe. Oh,
it's pretty powerful.

I bet it'll be able to hear you from all
the way over here.

Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to report
that due to heavy snow, we are closing

runways. Canceling all flights.

Come on.

Okay, great, thanks.

Did you find a hotel for the night?

We did, yeah. We're just going to grab
something to eat. Did you?

Oh, I'm going to head back to Evergreen.
That's not far.

You sure you're okay to drive in the
storm?

Oh, please. My truck's been way worse
than this. And besides, hopefully

everything will be up and running again.

Does the flight being canceled mean we
aren't going to Florida?

No, we will still have plenty of time to
catch our cruise.

Ooh, a cruise.

That sounds like a fancy Christmas.

Certainly a lot warmer.

Yeah, it'll be great.

Well, it was nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you, too. Maybe we'll see
you around here tomorrow?

Yeah. And if not, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Ollie.

Do please, yeah.

Bad news. The flight got canceled
because of the snow.

I was just heading out to the airport to
pick you up.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It'll be sometime tomorrow, hopefully.

I'm working tomorrow.

Oh, that's okay. I can just get a cab
from the airport.

No second thoughts, right?

Spencer, I didn't cause the snow.

Let me just get there. Everything's
going to be fine.

Sure. Of course.

Call me tomorrow?

Of course.

Bye.

Come on, really?

I thought you wanted me to be in
Evergreen.

Can

I

sit anywhere?

Okay, thanks.

Allie! Oh, hi.

Oh, hi. I thought you were going back to
Evergreen. Oh, I was. I've been trying

to get my truck started for the last
hour.

Do you want us to pretend to fix it
again?

Thank you, but no, I'm going to get a
bite to eat, and then I'll try again. If

it still doesn't start, I'll get a hotel
for the night.

Come sit with us, Allie.

You can tell us about Evergreen.

What would you like to know?

Well, what do you do for Christmas?

Oh, well, every year we have this big
festival.

Thank you.

With food, games, and a choir.

People come from all over the place.
It's the town's biggest tradition.

What do you do in Evergreen?

I run a veterinarian practice. Or I did.

But now I am moving to Washington, D .C.
to start a new job and for a change of

scenery. So you're not going to spend
Christmas in Evergreen?

No. The first time in forever.

The festival sounds like fun.

It is.

But not as fun as Florida. Come on, the
beats.

It'll be great. Hey, can I show you
something?

Sure. Check it out.

Okay, you do a fold and another fold.
And then tiny little tears,

okay? Little triangles.

And then you unfold to reveal the
magical snowflake.

Cool.

Yeah, my mom taught me that.

She said this way I could always carry
the magic of the evergreen Christmas

me wherever I go.

Neat. My mom used to make a lot of our
Christmas decorations.

Do you want to learn how to do it
yourself?

Sure. Okay, I'll show you.

Napkin.

Napkin.

All right, your turn.

Fold in half.

Ooh, you're a natural. Good work.

The key is tearing this little triangle.
Like this?

I spoke to Allie.

What'd she say? She got a hotel room,
and she's going to try and fly out

tomorrow morning. You see, you know it's
bad if they close the airport.

Well, luckily we're not landing planes.
We're just having a festival.

My first festival, and we get a
blizzard.

Ezra, relax.

Everything will be just fine.

All right, well, thank you so much for
checking.

No problem.

Okay, well, thank you anyway.

Oh, with all the flights that were
canceled, there's no more rooms. They

let me stay another night.

Same with us, and there's no rooms
anywhere, it seems.

Well, I'm going to go see if I can get
my truck started. If I can, you're

welcome to come back to Evergreen.

Yes! I mean, yeah, we can go back to
Evergreen again.

Right, Dad?

Uh, that's very nice of you, but where
would we even stay? Is there a hotel,

or...? Sort of.

Hello. Oh, hi, Allie. Hi.

Oh, that's terrible.

I'm so sorry.

Uh -huh.

Well, yes, it would be wonderful to have
them stay here as long as they know

it's not quite finished yet.

But I can easily make up a guest room.

Wonderful.

Okay, I'll see you then.

Bye.

Wow, how about that?

My first guest.

Yes.

All right, guys, you can just throw your
luggage in the back.

Hop on in, kiddo.

All right,

guys, buckle up.

Evergreen, here we come.

Allie? Yeah?

You're a people doctor, and you're a pet
doctor, so you're kind of the same.

Well, except my patients can tell me
where it hurts. Oh, you've obviously

met an unhappy reindeer.

You get a lot of this.

Oh, it's Henry. Will you hold it? Yep.

Hey, Henry.

Doc, buttercup's in labor. No, no, no. I
told you she's not due for another

week. But she's moving like crazy.

Really? Oh, yeah. I'm loud.

All right. Well, I'm actually headed
back into town right now.

You're coming back? No, I know. It's a
long story. I'll be there as soon as I

can. Thanks, Doc. Bye.

Well, guys, I'm afraid we're going to
have to take a little detour.

Yeah, Henry, you were right. She's in
labor.

Told you I knew their moves.

What can I do to help?

All right, Henry, go get me a big bucket
of hot water, and Ryan, bring me my

bag. You got it.

What can I do to help?

You can take apart a bale of hay,
because we're going to make a little

the baby.

You got it.

This is a disaster.

What are we supposed to do?

We can fix it. We don't have the money
to fix it.

Hey, guys, what's going on? I just got
your message.

Getting a little less in municipal
finance from Mr. Stingy over here.

A water pipe burst in the town hall.

Water everywhere, which then froze.

It's like an ice skating rink in there.
We can fix it in time. Sure we could, if

there was enough in the town hall
preservation fund. But the festival was

raising money for the town hall
preservation fund. Which is kind of

you think about it.

Sorry.

So beautiful.

She is. She's awesome.

Thanks for your help.

Me?

Yeah, you.

I couldn't have done this without you.

That only has a point, Zoe.

I think you should be the one to name
her.

Okay, but this is big.

I'm going to need a minute.

What should I call you?

Hey, um, thank you.

For what?

For making Zoe feel so special.

Oh, a lot of special in that moment.

Nice to spread it around.

I'm really going to miss this.

After seeing how good you are with
animals, I have a feeling that they're

to miss you too.

Hey, everybody.

I've decided that the baby's name should
be...

Snowflake.

Perfect. I love it.

So what are we supposed to do? Cancel
the Christmas festival?

No, no, you can't cancel the festival.
The entire town looks forward to it all

year. The only way we're going to have
it this year is we find someplace else

do it. There's no place else in town
with enough space.

I'm calling Allie. No!

anymore. You can't call her.

Zoe,

we need to go.

But I love snowflakes. I swear she's
going to try to smuggle that thing in

suitcase. If your herd gets any bigger,
you're going to have to keep this old

barn. Or finally put that new barn to
good use.

Oh, hold on one second.

Allie Shaw?

Whoa, Ezra, calm down. I can't
understand you.

Oh no, guys, we may have to cancel the
festival.

Somewhere else to do it. Where?

Sally, come on.

Hey, Henry.

I think I got an idea how we could put
your new barn to really good use.

How would you like to host the Christmas
festival?

Sure thing.

Wow, Dad, look.

It's beautiful.

Come on. Let's go inside.

Yeah, let's go inside.

Next up.

This is the dining room.

Like we're in a storybook.

When did you have time to decorate?

Oh, I've been working nonstop.

The only thing I haven't been able to do
is get a tree.

Oh, I haven't gotten one either.

Well, the inn looks beautiful, Barbara.
Thank you so much for letting us stay

the night. Oh, are you kidding? I am so
happy to have you here.

Do you want to see the rest of the
place? Yes. Okay.

You know what?

Why don't you go ahead?

We'll catch up with you in just a
moment. Okay. All right.

Bye. Bye.

Listen, I just wanted to say thank you
one more time for just taking such good

care of us today.

It's my pleasure. And hopefully the
airport will be open tomorrow so you

can be on your way.

Yeah, yeah. Although as far as detours
go, this has been the pretty eventful

one. I doubt we'll see too many cows on
the cruise.

Oh, a cow cruise. That sounds fun.

So, wait. If you don't mind me asking,
why Florida?

Sarah, my wife, she...

She died last year just before
Christmas, which was really hard, you

every candy cane, every Christmas tree
was like a reminder.

So anyway, this year I wanted Zoe to
have sunny palm trees, Florida, stay as

away from Christmas as possible.

And then I brought you to the Vermont
version of the North Pole.

Well, it's like North Pole adjacent.

It's like a suburb of the North Pole.
Yeah, like right there on the commuter

line. Right there.

Well, listen, if it's any consolation,
I... I think she's okay.

No, but more than okay.

She's an awesome kid.

Thanks. I wish I could take credit for
it, but that was all Sarah.

Even after I pulled back from patient
care, I worked so much that, um... I

you're too hard on yourself.

You don't have to be super dad to be a
good dad.

Well, um, anyway, thank you.

Yeah.

Careful, you two.

You're standing under mistletoe.

Oh, that's... I, um... I should go.

Have a good night.

You didn't have to bring me food.

I'm your mother. Of course I did.

And... Why did you put up all your
Christmas decorations if you're not even

going to be here? I know, I couldn't
help myself.

But at least I didn't put up a tree. I'm
not completely Christmas crazy.

Just a little Christmas crazy. Exactly.

So did you get Ryan and Zoe all settled?

Yes, they're at the inn.

He seems like a good guy.

He does, yeah.

Yeah, he's a doctor and a single dad. I
don't know how he does it.

So have you talked to Spencer?

I have, yeah, a little while ago.

Everything's fine.

Honey, as long as you feel like you're
doing the best thing for you, then I'm

board. I do.

Thank you.

It's just not going to be the same
without you around here.

I think that's partly why your dad and I
are talking about retiring.

You are? Actually, your father's doing
most of the talking, and I am listening

very politely.

You don't want to do it?

I can't imagine leaving Evergreen.

But... If my brave daughter can start a
new chapter in her life, then I guess

her parents can too.

But don't tell anyone.

Especially not Ezra.

I don't think his heart could take it. I
don't think so either.

And I've got to go because I'm going to
be late. Where are you off to?

To spread a little Christmas cheer.

And you know, I think maybe we'll stop
by the inn for Zoe and Ryan.

Well, I want a little cheer.

Can I tag along? Yes, you can tag along.

Go get your coat.

Do you have any sevens? Go fish.

Oh, again?

I'm just that good.

What is that?

She's back at the inn with Barbara. I
heard the airport's open again. Thought

I'd come and see if we could hitch a
ride back with you. Oh, of course.

Yeah. I want you to meet my friend
Michelle Lansing.

Hi, Michelle.

Hi. And I think you've met my mom and
dad.

Hi. Hi there. Nice to see you again.
This is Dr. Ryan Bellamy.

Doctor.

And this is Mayor Ezra Green.

You're a doctor.

I am, yes.

You know, our town doctor just retired.
Leave him alone.

Ezra.

Right.

Sorry. More important matters at hand.

Listen up, everybody.

I have some bad news.

They had to shut down the highway.

Wait, what?

Storm last night caused a rock slide.

Oh, I don't believe that.

Why is that a problem?

There's only one road in and out of
town.

Now it's blocked by a bunch of big
rocks.

Uh, well, when will it open?

Tomorrow.

Maybe. Tomorrow?

We're gonna miss our flight.

Yeah. Okay, well, there's gotta be some
other way out of town.

Snowmobile. Snowplow.

Helicopter. Forget about people getting
out. How's anybody going to get in?

Nobody's going to be able to come to the
Christmas festival. This is terrible.

Everyone in Evergreen can come.

I've got people coming from Montpelier
and Burlington.

Allie, what are we going to do? All
right, all right. Why don't we meet at

Henry's Barn this afternoon and start
setting up for the festival? And if the

road clears, great. And if it doesn't,
then this year the festival will just be

for Evergreen.

And get it.

Oh, okay. Well, I guess I feel better.
You know, I think this is another

situation that could have been solved if
we had an app. Oh, Ezra, please.

No, this is a good idea. I mean, this
will light up the whole scene.

Hey, I'm so sorry.

If I hadn't invited you here, you
wouldn't be stuck.

You didn't cause the rock slide, did
you?

No, I didn't. My neighbor has my
jackhammer.

I just wanted this Christmas to be
better.

Well, y 'all are stuck here another day.

Maybe I could help make Christmas a
little better for Zoe.

We do have plenty of snow.

What do you think?

I think he's perfect.

Good work, you guys.

This is so awesome. I've got to get a
picture.

All right, ready?

One, two, three.

Oh, you know what? I'm getting a phone
call. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Hi.

Hey.

Are you at the airport?

No. The storm last night shut down the
highway.

I'm going to be here another day at
least.

Why didn't you just stay in Burlington?

All the hotels were booked. I would have
had to sleep in my truck.

Okay.

So what's the plan?

Well, I'm thinking at this point it
might make most sense for me to stay

Allie, what about Christmas?

Spencer, my folks are talking about
retiring.

This could be my last Christmas in
Evergreen.

I mean, I was just really looking
forward to spending it with you is all.

I know.

Me too.

But I can come after Christmas, and we
can have plenty of time then.

Okay? Yeah, okay.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Bye.

They're gorgeous.

Mine looks more like a snow gorilla. A
Christmas gorilla.

It's so much fun here.

We should do something nice for Barbara.

She's been so nice to us.

Uh, that's really sweet.

I got an idea.

Well, we figured since we have to impose
on you for one more night, the least we

can do is get you a Christmas tree. Oh,
you didn't have to do that.

But I'm glad you did.

Can we decorate it? Oh, of course.

Let's go get some ornaments.

Should we trim it up? Let's do it.

Okay. Mm,

sappy.

How's that steering clear of Christmas
going for you?

Really well, clearly.

I'll tell you, there is just something
about this place that makes it just

to resist the Christmas spirit.

Evergreen will do that to you. I
decorated my place this year. I'm not

going to be here.

Oh, actually, it's a good thing I did.

What do you mean?

It turns out I don't think I'm going to
go to D .C. for Christmas this year.

No? Why not?

It's complicated.

Hmm.

A boy.

Oh.

Spencer. Two years of long distance in a
relationship that just couldn't handle

the distance part.

But we were going to spend this
Christmas together and just sort of see

was something there.

No, I get it. I get it.

Sarah and I were long distance when we
started.

I was in Boston. She was in this little
town in Ohio. And that worked out well,

though, right? Yeah.

I guess we just knew we'd wind up
together.

So help us get through it.

I actually considered going there and
becoming a small -town doctor.

Yeah, now I kind of wish I had.

My work doesn't allow the kind of time
I'd like to spend with Zoe, which is

hard.

Well, don't tell Mayor Ezra that.

He'll open up an office for you in Town
Hall.

Doc Bellamy?

He's got a nice ring. Yeah, Dr. B.

The doctor's in.

Right?

I gotta say, this is the last place I
thought I would find myself

three days before Christmas.

Same here.

But, um, it's not so bad.

No.

It's not bad at all.

You guys ready?

We got the ornaments.

Come on, let's decorate the tree.

Yeah, let's.

This is like the best tree ever.

I agree.

I bet the one at the festival won't be
anywhere near as nice.

We'll see when we go to the barn later
tonight.

Is there a Christmas festival where
you're leaving, Callie? Oh, I think

is, but it's nothing like the one in
Evergreen.

Then why do you want to move there?

Well, I've lived here my whole life, and
it's a wonderful place. It really is,

but there's a whole big wide world out
there.

I want to see it.

I'm ready for a change.

You know, my grandpa used to say, the
further you get from where you started,

the closer you get to where you belong.

But what if you belong here?

Okay. I think we are ready for the angel
who wants to do the honors.

Me, please.

Okay, go for it, Zoe.

Okay. All right.

Yep.

Okay, everybody ready? Ready.

And drumroll. Drumroll. Yep.

Hey,

Dad, can I be in the choir?

Oh, it's for the festival, kiddo. We're
not going to be here, remember?

No, wait.

Merry Christmas.

Are you sure you want to put the craft
booze in the back?

Ezra, you are driving me crazy.

I am in charge of the festival. Me.

Not you. The festival is an important
part of the town, and I am mayor of the

town. Me, not you. Your daddy retired,
and nobody else wanted the job.

A win is still a win.

Ezra, I've got this under control, okay?
There are no problems. Hello.

Okay. Right.

Got it.

Okay, now we got a problem. I knew it.

Wait, what? What's the problem? We're
not going to have any food for the

festival. What?

Mrs. Wallace and the ladies from the
church are usually in charge of the

and the cookies, but they went to
Montpelier yesterday for a book club,

now... And now they can't get back
because the road is closed.

Right. And even if it got fixed
tomorrow, there still wouldn't be enough

for them to prepare everything that we
need.

All right, all right. There's got to be
something we can do.

Hold on a second.

I got an idea.

Excuse me, everyone. May I have your
attention, please?

Raise your hand if you like to bake.

Done?

A couple more?

Anyone else?

in all the flour?

It's all over you.

I guess it is.

We're almost out of butter, too.

You know what?

Take my keys, go on down to my parents'
restaurant. My mom and dad will have all

the extra supplies you need.

Zoe, are you good hanging here with
Allie for a little while?

Yeah. Bye, Dad.

Take that as a yes.

Have fun.

And in the meantime, why don't I teach
you how to decorate Christmas stockings?

You got it. Great, Carol. Thanks so
much.

Bye.

Making cookies for Santa?

Uh, for the festival.

It's nice you're doing that.

Oh, it's the least we could do.

Everyone's been so nice to us.

Especially Allie. I just wish there was
something I could do to return the

favor. Well, a little bird told me she
doesn't have a Christmas tree.

No, she doesn't.

Thank you.

Oh, hey. I didn't catch your name.

I'm Nick.

Merry Christmas.

You know what? It's like we're elves in

Santa's workshop.

You're right. I told you this would be
fun.

It is.

Be sure to tell Dad, okay?

Why? He doesn't like me to be sad.

He worries about that a lot since Mom
died.

I'd just like to let him know that I'm
okay.

But you know it's okay to be sad
sometimes too, right?

Yeah. And I am.

Sometimes.

So is Dad.

Well, I think that's normal.

But also sometimes you're happy, right?

Like when you think about your mom.

You think about fun things you two would
do during Christmas time.

Yeah.

My favorite was we'd find a Christmas
thing for each letter of the alphabet.

Me and Dad play it now.

I love that.

Wait, what would you do for the letter
Z?

Zoe!

What do you think?

I love it.

Look at this. Who knew reindeer liked
candy canes?

I'll glue them on.

Okay.

Oh, probably your dad.

I'll put it on.

Spencer!

Surprise!

How did you get here?

Well, remember I told you I had that
partner who was going to let us use his

helicopter?

You took a helicopter here?

Yep.

Landed just outside of town, took a cab
here.

I mean, come on, that's really
something, hey?

Yeah, that's definitely something.

Look, I don't totally understand this
whole one last Christmas and evergreen

thing, but I couldn't bear the thought
of not spending it with you, so here I

am.

Hey, Michelle.

Hannah, why aren't you home making
fruitcake? You're in charge of

I finished.

Well, make something else.

Half the town is cooking.

There's going to be enough food for,
like, five festivals.

There is no such thing as enough when it
comes to a Christmas feast.

Oh.

Okay, Michelle.

Do you want to have a seat over here?

I think...

You need to relax.

I can't. I have too much to do. And
there's plenty of time to get it all

in. It's going to be fine.

It can't be fine. It has to be
incredible.

It will be.

You're doing an amazing job.

Allie always made everything look so
easy.

Allie had a lot of help. She didn't try
to do everything by herself.

Yeah. Okay.

Well, maybe I should go make a wish on
the Christmas snow globe.

You wouldn't be the only one.

You made a wish?

What'd you wish for?

Okay, I don't know if you know this, but
I just love Christmas.

No, I didn't know.

Oh.

Well, this is going to sound silly, but
I wish to find someone special.

Someone who loves Christmas as much as I
do.

Well, that's not silly. That's sweet.

Really? Mm -hmm.

I just figured, what could it hurt?

Right? I mean, it's Christmas, a time
when magical things happen.

How late is that diner open?

Come on.

Thank you.

So you just brought this guy and his kid
back here?

Yeah, kind of.

It seemed like the best option at the
time.

Right.

Listen, did this have anything to do
with you wanting to stay in Evergreen

Christmas? No. No, no, no. No, that was
all me.

Okay.

Oh!

Dad's back!

Hey!

What do you think?

You got a Christmas tree! I can't
believe you got a Christmas tree.

Yeah, well, it's four.

Oh. This is Spencer.

Spencer, this is Ryan.

Spencer, Washington, D .C. Spencer.

That's right.

Uh, he flew here on a helicopter.

Really? Can we borrow it?

Uh, no, they just dropped me off. Sorry,
who's the tree for?

It's for Barbara.

At the inn.

What? Yeah.

We just got her a tree.

Right, but... We got her a tree for the
living room. And this is a tree for the

lobby. This is the lobby Christmas tree.

Because at Christmas time, you can never
have too many Christmas trees. Am I

right? You're right.

So listen, we should go.

The road might be open tomorrow.

And, you know, if that's the case, we
can get ready to get on out of here.

Right. Escape from Evergreen.

That's right.

You know what? Why don't you take my
truck with the tree in it to Barbara's

house, and then we can just walk there
and see if she's got room for Spencer.

Thank you. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Spencer, nice to meet you. You too.

Bye, Zoe.

Bye.

Bye.

Let's go, kiddo.

Get on out of here. You okay to walk?

Well, it's no helicopter, but sure.

Okay, I'll get my coat.

You know, you really should have gotten
the tree for Allie.

Yeah. That would have been nice.

I like her.

So do I.

Still can't believe you took a
helicopter to get here. It's pretty

Doesn't it seem a little extravagant?

It only seems that way because you're
not used to it yet.

Nah, you know me. I have simple taste.

I'm an evergreen girl.

And now you're going to be a DC girl.

Yeah. Come on, Allie. Aren't you just a
little excited about starting your new

life? Aren't you happy to finally be
getting out of this little town?

I love this place.

I know it might not seem like much to
you, but this is my hometown.

I mean, look around. This is what
Christmas is supposed to look like.

I get it, okay? I know that you have a
soft spot for this place.

That's why I came all the way here, to
be with you.

I know, and I appreciate that, but
aren't we... supposed to be taking

slow?

Well, that's why I had to see you.

I don't need to take things slow.

I know what I want.

The question is, do you?

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, just checking on some flights to D
.C. here.

Coffee? You're not taking the helicopter
back?

No, no, that's a favor we can only use
one time.

We? I thought Allie was staying here for
Christmas.

Yeah, well, she was, but we spoke last
night, and I'm kind of hoping she might

change her mind, so... Oh, well, that's,
uh... That's good.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that once we get back to
DC and she gets settled into her job,

it's going to be smooth sailing.

Hello.

There she is.

Hi. Hi.

Hey. Hey.

Hi. Hi.

Why is everybody just standing around?

We should go.

To the diner. Ezra was going to stop by
and give us an update of the road. On

the road. About the road.

Whatever.

Great.

Yeah.

KK.

Listen up, everybody.

I have an update on the road situation.

Is it open?

It's not.

Oh.

What? It will be by tomorrow night, so
we can have the Christmas Eve festival

the next day as planned.

Thank you.

You're going to love it.

Spencer flew in on a helicopter.

Oh, Mom, don't start.

I thought you said, what's the big deal?

That's big. It's not. It was a small
helicopter.

What about Ryan?

What about Ryan?

Alice and Louise, I can tell there's
something between you two.

It's not. There's nothing. There's
nothing happening, and it's no big deal.

So that's good news. You'll be able to
head to Florida after all.

Yes. Yeah, that's great news, right,
Zoe? Isn't that great news?

Yeah, it's great.

I'm counting on you.

Well, that's terrific. I mean, if the
road opens by tomorrow night, we can

make it to D .C. for Christmas. I mean,
if... We decide that's what we want to

do, of course. Right. We just have to
decide.

Right. Well, since we'll all be here at
least a little longer, what do you want

to do?

Good afternoon.

Beautiful weather for ice skating.

Can we go ice skating? Oh, well, that
sounds fun. You know, there's a gorgeous

ice skating rink in town.

Should we all go?

Yeah. That sounds great. Yeah, I'd love
to, but I've actually got a conference

call, and it could take a couple of
hours.

Oh. But you guys go ahead, and I'll
just... I'll catch up with you later.

really? Are you sure? Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

Well, now we just need to find y 'all
some skates.

I know. We're like sliding on the ice.

This is a lot of fun. I have not skated
in forever.

Years. For me, it's been years. Has it?

So a lot more recently than you. I'm
going to take a break.

Okay. I'll do that too.

All right. Have fun, Zoe.

I feel like I'm flying.

Does she ever get tired?

She would stay out here all night if we
let her.

How can there be that much energy in
that tiny little body?

Medically speaking, it's impossible.

Nobody knows.

Everything okay?

What? Yeah.

Great. Because if you want to go be with
Spencer, I totally get it. Oh, no.

This is fun. And he's working anyway.
It's fine.

He seems like a good guy.

He is.

You know, I always... I always thought
that we were in the same place,

even though we lived far apart.

We always saw things the same way,
wanted the same things. But now that

going to be living in the same place, I
don't know if that's true anymore.

What do you want?

I mean, like, for Christmas. Like,
what's your wish list for Santa?

A pony.

Ah, probably more reliable than your
truck. Hey, don't knock my truck. That's

grandpa's truck. I love that truck.

So, to answer your question, what do I
want?

I think I want...

To always feel the way that I do here in
Evergreen.

The feeling of home.

Exactly.

So, how about you?

What do you want?

That. I can fly!

Right there.

That's all I need.

Come on, guys!

I'm going to go check to see if she has
a battery pack.

Yeah, I've got a phone call. Oh, it's
Hannah. Hey!

Whoa, what's going on?

Yeah, he's right here.

Okay, all right, yeah, we'll be there as
soon as we can.

Okay, bye.

Is everything okay?

I'm so sorry to do this to you, but we
need a doctor.

Okay, so what happened? I don't know. We
were working on the festival and then

she started to get all woozy. Is he
going to be okay?

No, I'm not okay.

Honey, just give us a moment, okay? I
don't have enough garlic in the barn and

then outside. And in two days, there's
not enough time and we're supposed to

be... Okay, Michelle. Michelle, I just
need you to breathe, okay?

I don't have time to breathe.

Michelle, do you remember the 12 days of
Christmas?

On the 12th day of Christmas, my true
love gave to me... What was it?

Drummers, 12 drummers strumming, right?
That's right, that's right. Okay, what's

next? Pipers piping, 11. Great, okay,
keep going.

I don't know 10, I don't know it. Lord.

Lord, 10 lords leaping.

Then it's nine ladies dancing and eight
maids milking, right?

Swans, geese, five golden rings, four
calling birds, three French hens,

two turtle doves, and a partridge in a
pear tree.

Great. How do you feel?

Better.

What'd you do?

You were having a panic attack, and
counting is one of the things that can

alleviate it. I just thought we'd stick
to a Christmas theme.

Are you okay?

Yes, I am. I just, I was really crazy to
think that I could do this as well as

you've done for so long. Oh, don't say
that. This is amazing.

Hey, let me tell you something.

I've never seen a group of people more
dedicated to anything in my life.

The way you pulled everyone together and
turned this place into... I mean, come

on, look at this. This is what Christmas
is all about.

True. The festival's going to be great.

Oh. And it's all because of you.

Thanks, Doc.

Hello, you two.

Oh, homemade cookies.

Thank you very much.

Allie's a very good baker, too, by the
way.

Oh, that's great.

Hey, everybody.

Ezra just called, and great news. The
road will be cleared tonight.

Yes.

I thought you had a deal.

What's wrong, Zoe?

Well, I made a wish on the snow globe,
and I thought it was coming true, but

I'm not so sure.

Oh. Well, was it something your heart
truly wanted?

Yes. My whole body wanted it. Even my
toes.

In that case, I don't think you have
anything to worry about.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

You just have to be patient.

Wishes are like Christmas cookies. It
sometimes takes a while for them to be

fully baked.

Zoe.

Hi. Hi.

Kiddo, Coco's getting cold.

What about you, Roger?

Have you changed your mind about making
a Christmas wish?

Oh, no.

No, I don't really believe in that sort
of thing. You know, people get busy and

they forget about the magic of the
holidays.

But all they have to do is stop for a
moment and open their eyes.

Because that magic...

It's all around us.

So you can just take the truck and
return the keys to Barbara.

Okay. Thanks. Yeah.

This really is a special place.

Yeah. It really is.

So, you're all set?

We are.

Yeah. Off to Florida.

And that's what you wanted, right?

Yeah.

And you, you're off to D .C. Yeah.

That's the plan.

Looks like we both got what we wanted.

Looks like it.

Ryan.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Allie.

I wanted to...

send me pictures of the festival.

I want to see the stockings, the choir,
and the tree.

Don't forget the tree. Well, I won't. I
promise. It's the only tree I have this

year.

Merry Christmas, Zoe.

Merry Christmas, Allie.

Merry Christmas, Ryan.

Merry Christmas, Allie.

Yeah. Where's Santa going to leave all
of Allie's presents if she doesn't even

have a tree?

Good evening.

Good evening.

Are you ready for the Christmas
festival?

Yes, I am.

Ready for the Christmas festival. Are
you?

I'm definitely ready for Christmas.

It's a time when wishes come true.

I always thought that.

You don't anymore?

No, I'll always believe in Christmas
wishes, but... What if you don't know

to wish for?

Is this about leaving Evergreen?

Or Spencer?

How did you know that?

It's amazing what you learned sitting at
a table in the town diner. Oh, right,

of course.

Um, well, I think it's kind of about
both.

So what did you wish for on the snow
globe?

Well, I wished that everyone that I love
have a Merry Christmas, even though we

can't be together.

And yet here you are in Evergreen with
all the people you love. But I'm

to be in Washington, D .C.

It's the further away you are from where
you started.

the closer you get to where you belong.

Sometimes you end up right back where
you started because that's the place

you're supposed to be.

Oh, my dear.

Oh, dear, dear.

Good night.

Good night.

Spencer, what are you doing here? Well,
I wanted to stop by. I figure if we

leave first thing in the morning, we can
still get to the airport and make it to

the firm's Christmas Eve party on time.

The swanky one?

Yeah, the swanky one.

Um... Ellie, what's wrong? Don't you
want to go to D .C.? I'm so sorry,

I think I want to stay here.

For Christmas, or...? For Christmas.

And... I don't know.

But why don't you stay here?

for Christmas.

I love this place, and I love these
people, and I want you to understand

Allie, I love Washington, D .C., and I
love my job, and the people that I work

with are really great.

I mean, that's where I belong.

Spencer, I don't think it was just the
distance that was getting in our way.

Allie, don't do this, okay? Please.

You do belong in Washington, D .C., and
I don't.

I belong here.

But what about your new job?

I love my job here.

And I get to take care of tiny little
puppies.

And I get to birth calves.

That's incredible.

And I have family and friends and
Christmas in a place that I love.

Listen, I think you're just nervous
about making such a big change.

Well, see, that's the thing. I think I
thought I was ready for this big change.

And I am.

But I think I thought I had to leave
Evergreen in order to find it.

I kept telling myself I needed more.

Everything I needed was right here all
along.

What can I do to convince you that I'm
right about this?

I think you'd be trying to convince
yourself.

Zoe was worried that Santa might not
have a place to put your presents if you

didn't have a tree.

We hope you get everything you want for
Christmas, even the pony.

Thank you for everything, Ryan and Zoe.

Home sweet home.

Hey, Mom.

Welcome back, Frank.

So? Have you talked to him?

Oh, he went back to D .C. Oh, honey, not
Spencer.

Ryan. Why would I talk to Ryan?

Allie, he bought you a tree.

Oh. In fact, he bought you two trees, if
you count the one at Barbara's. Mom,

it's not like that.

I know.

I know.

And, uh... I'm not saying that whatever
happened with Spencer had anything to do

with Ryan. I mean, those are two totally
different things.

But, Allie, they are both things.

And I just want to make sure that you're
okay with how both of them ended.

They might not have left yet.

here. I was hoping to catch Ryan and Zoe
before they left.

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. The cab picked
them up about an hour ago. They're

probably at the airport by now. Oh.

Ladies and gentlemen in the boarding
area for flight 993, we have been

that there is a small mechanical issue
on the plane and we need to delay

boarding. I apologize for the
inconvenience.

Boy, that sounds familiar, huh?

We should go back to Evergreen.

Zoe, the flight's delayed. It isn't
canceled.

So if it gets canceled, we can go back
to Evergreen.

No, honey.

I don't want a ruling from the judges.

Sorry, kiddo. They're with me on this
one.

Don't you miss it already?

Don't you miss Allie?

She isn't mine to miss.

Come here.

It's the festive feeling, love for
everywhere.

We can build a romance, we can write a
song.

Hear the carols playing, sing the magic
song.

You look delicious.

Pick anyone you want.

Congratulations, Michelle.

Oh, thanks. I think we actually pulled
it off with the help of a snow globe, of

course. Of course. And Hannah, what
about you? Any developments on this wish

had? Oh, no. It was just a silly wish
anyway. Oh, I'm so sorry. Sorry.

Hey.

I'm Hannah.

Charlie.

Hi. Do you want to get some hot
chocolate or applesauce?

Yeah, I'd love that.

Great. Oh, Merry Christmas, everyone.

It's just magical. Merry Christmas,
Henry. Thank you so much for letting us

the festival here. You saved Christmas.

Oh, no.

You think?

Michelle, everything looks amazing.

Oh, thanks.

Isn't it amazing, Ezra?

Well, actually, there's... Not a single

thing I'd change.

There you go.

And I just heard the great news that
Evergreen's veterinarian is staying

Yes. Yes, he is.

I just wish we could have convinced that
doctor to stay. Yeah.

Me too.

She's probably in Florida by now.

Ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

Children first.

Shouldn't be too much longer, kiddo.

It's okay, Dad.

I'm going to go see what's going on.
I'll be right back.

Thank you. Oh, Spencer.

Hey. Hey.

What are you doing here?

Still trying to get to Florida.

You? Same? Yeah, still trying to get to
D .C. Seems like all the flights are

booked, though. Yeah.

Is Allie here?

Uh, no.

No, she's staying in Evergreen.

Permanently. Oh.

Um, I'm really sorry.

Good thing. Thank you.

Well, I'm going to try the other
airlines, see if I have any better luck.

Merry Christmas.

Yeah, Merry Christmas.

What's wrong, Dad?

Nothing.

This Christmas... It's been the best.

Really? You think so?

It felt like Christmas again.

Like before Mom.

Yeah.

I guess it did.

I just don't understand why the snow
globe didn't work.

Well, what'd you wish for?

That we could have Christmas in
Evergreen.

But above Florida would be great, too.

Did you make a wish?

I did.

I wished for a Merry Christmas.

And did it come true?

Zoe, as long as I'm with you, it is
going to be a very Merry Christmas.

Zoe, your wish came true.

I wonder why mine didn't.

Attention in the gate area, all
passengers for flight 967 to Orlando.

Sorry to tell you that we are having
some mechanical difficulties with the

airplane, and at this point it looks
like we are going to have to cancel the

flight.

Merry Christmas, Allie.

Oh, Merry Christmas, Santa.

You were great in there. The kids love
you. They are the true spirit of

Christmas. But I have to ask you, did
your Christmas wish come true?

Oh, I think it did.

Yeah, maybe not in the way that I'd
hoped, but I think I learned something.

And what's that, my dear?

Sometimes you end up exactly where
you're supposed to be.

I guess that's why it's called Christmas
magic.

Maybe.

Can I offer you a ride into town?

No. I have my own transportation.

Okay.

Allie! You came back.

We missed you.

I missed you, too.

Zoe? You're here.

Do you want to be in the choir still? We
go on in a couple minutes.

Can I, Dad?

Go have fun.

What are you doing here?

Heard you may be looking for a small
-town doctor.

Oh, careful.

You don't want Ezra to hear you say
that. He'll never let you leave.

Did your flight get canceled again?

Yes.

But that's not why we came back.

It's not?

No. This has been a completely
unexpected, amazing, magical Christmas

for both Zoe and me.

Because of you.

I'm not moving to Washington, D .C.

I know.

How? Because this is where you're
supposed to be.

And, Allie, I don't know if this is
where I'm supposed to be or not, but I

to find out.

Because something keeps bringing me back
here.

Is it a magical Christmas snow globe?

Maybe.

Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!

Looks like you got your doctor.

The

Christmas

feast that year was truly special.

Surrounded by family and friends, old
and new.

The spirit of the holidays was all
around them, and it lived on for many

Yuletide seasons to come. But perhaps
these are stories for another time.

then, hold tight to the magic of
Christmas.

You never know when the next wish might
come true.

To family, to friends, and to Evergreen.
Merry Christmas!

I felt it from across the room.

Sometimes you find everything you're
looking for in one place.

Or one person.
