I'm so happy that Santa's on his way.

Been waiting all year long for Christmas
Day.

I feel alive when I look up to the sky.

Knowing I might see him on his way. All
right, let's see what's on tap for

today.

Oh, lucky girl. Turkey and cheese,
cucumbers, pretzels, and grapes.

Mom, can I have a cream cheese and
strawberry jelly sandwich instead?

Um, you mean Saturday's weekend
celebration cream cheese and jelly

sandwich?

That's the one.

Sure, yeah, I can just switch the two.
So you'll just have Saturday's lunch

today and today's lunch on Saturday, and
I really don't need to relabel the bag

because that would just be crazy.

Thank you, Mommy. You're the best thing.

We gotta get a move on. I need to get to
the school for the first meeting for

the Christmas play before I head to
work.

Time to organize and prioritize.

Mom, I think you'll do great. You'll
look like the most beautiful elf mommy

ever. A beautiful elf mommy?

Take it.

It's my day!

This year, our theme is the Elf Express.

the North Pole Gift Train, and we're
focusing on the magic of community

this holiday season.

On behalf of Redbird Falls Elementary,
we are so grateful to you parents for

volunteering. Excuse me.

Sorry.

So sorry I'm late.

It's okay.

We've divided you up into pairs
according to skill sets in order to

best results possible on this short
timeline.

Ooh, she means business.

I'm trying to.

All right. Sorry.

Bonnie and Eric, you're doing costume.

Bailey and Jeff, you're on ticket sales
and refreshments.

And Caden, you're doing backdrops and
set design with Henry Harrison.

Let's get to it.

All right, Caden. Yeah.

Well, nice to meet you, partner. Hey,
Henry, right? Yeah. Great. So, Elk

Village. Already have some ideas
brewing.

Great, me too.

Oh boy, your route is farther along than
mine. Okay, so if you look at section A

on the diagram right here, the entrance
to the elf train will be stage left.

Stage will be where all the elves are
packaging the toys, so we'll need

approximately five feet of scaffolding
to set up all of the props.

And over here, above where the train is,
we will have the elf village, as you

can see here on section C.

Now, access will be pretty tight for the
kids, but I think with rehearsal and

proper blocking, it should just work
perfectly.

What do you think?

I, um... And this is my checklist right
here. Did you want me to print a copy

for you?

Did I miss a meeting?

Nope. Did I miss, like, ten meetings?

When did you do this blueprint? I mean,
it's even color -coded.

Well, I helped out with the play last
year, and I got a little sneak peek at

theme from Miss Linda last week, so I
just dove right in.

Well, I see that.

Good job.

Thank you.

Is there anything better than a good
checklist?

You know, actually, what's better than a
good checklist is checking things off.

Oh. I mean, right?

Hey, I got an idea.

How about we just, um, feel out the
space?

Huh? Feel it out?

Yeah. Just kind of listen to the space.

See what it wants us to do with it.

Okay.

Space seems shy.

I don't know.

Okay. I'm just saying that maybe we
should brainstorm some ideas together.

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, okay.

I mean, we could definitely, like, add
that to the list.

Brainstorm. I mean, I am flexible.

Yeah, I see that.

Hey.

What's your kid's name?

Mary. She's seven.

Yours? Ruthie. She's six.

Very excited to be an elf.

Yeah, so is Mary.

Looks like we both have elves for kids.

Yeah. Yeah, so you know what?

This is the space that our elves are
going to help out the big guy.

Yes, yes.

And an elf village is built on
community, and so is an elf train, for

matter. A community that's filled with
the Christmas...

Spirit and magic.

Yeah. Yeah.

Joy. Joy. The foundation is joy.

Oh? A railway built on the joy of
Christmas.

Huh? You know?

Joy? Joy sounds great.

We just need to make sure that the joy
isn't too expensive for our budget and

fits within our timeline.

Oh, you know, I have to take this.
Sorry, just give me one sec.

Avery, hi.

Hi, Cadence. I just wanted to see if we
could move up our meeting to 11 o 'clock

today instead of next week.

Um, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, that works.

Oh, and my mom's going to be joining us.

Millie? That's great.

I haven't seen her in a while. Is
everything okay?

Oh, absolutely. We just wanted to talk
about all the wedding plans and make

we were all on the same page.

It's getting really close.

Yes, it is.

The wedding countdown has officially
started.

All right, I'm just going to wrap up
here, and I will see you at 11.

Okay.

Okay. Sorry about that.

No worries.

Congratulations.

Huh?

Your wedding.

My... Oh.

No. Um, no, I plan weddings.

I love weddings.

I even had a wedding, but he was less
into the idea forever than I was.

But I love creating the wedding
experience for other people.

You get all the joy without any of the
possible conflict or potential

Well, not all marriages have conflict.

Heartache's a different story.

Did you want me to leave my note for you
to review? No, I'm good. I'm good. All

right.

You know what would go great for the
play?

A sleigh.

A sleigh?

Yeah, what better to bring joy and magic
at Christmas than a sleigh?

We can put it right over here.

Um, I wish we could, but we're not
really budgeted for a magical sleigh.

Oh, come on, it'll be great.

Do you happen to have any extra sleighs
lying around?

As a matter of fact, I do. I have a few
at the warehouse.

I have no problem letting Redbird Falls
Elementary Theater Department borrow

one. Sorry, warehouse?

What do you do, if you don't mind my
asking?

I work in Christmas.

I'm sure you have plans this weekend,
but if you want to stop by the warehouse

tomorrow morning, you can look at the
sleighs, see if there's one you like.

Hey, bring Mary, your elf.

I bet she loves Christmas.

Pretty sure all little kids love
Christmas.

It's the most special, hope -filled,
magical time of year.

Um, yeah.

Okay. I can come by early. I'll bring
Mary and some coffee for you and your

wife.

No wife. Just me and Ruthie.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't... Don't worry
about it.

Coffee sounds great.

Great. Great.

I will see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

After the vows are exchanged,
overlooking the majestic and serene

your guests will be escorted to the
Champagne Fountain. On their way to the

reception ballroom where you will be
introduced for the first time as Mr. and

Mrs. Laurel.

The Lakeview Lodge is elegant. It is
majestic. It's perfect.

Just like your wedding will be.

Amazing. I love it.

Cadence, how did you get so good at
this? I mean, you were always great at

planning our college events, but this is
a whole different level.

I just, I love it.

Seriously, when we got engaged, I didn't
even tell them we were friends, and

every vendor I talked to said you were
the best wedding planner in the state.

Really? Give me their names and
addresses. I'm going to be sending them

and chocolates immediately.

She's right, Cadence. You have really
found your calling.

And I love that the two of you are
reconnecting through this wedding.

Yes, I know.

I always want to come through for my
clients, but this one is special.

You two deserve it.

You have always been the real deal.

Chance, this is all unbelievable.

If you can pull this off... Oh, it isn't
a problem.

But when might be, right, Avery?

I know this is already...

A really quick turnaround with us
wanting our wedding date the Saturday

Christmas. Well, but it's a good thing
that we already booked the Lakeview

for that weekend, because everything
else is going to fall into place, don't

worry. Well, Sam and I talked more, and
we both knew if we didn't

get married on Christmas Eve, we'd
regret it for the rest of our lives

We know that that's highly improbable,
but we just needed to see if it might be

possible.

If anyone could do it, it's you.

Cadence, my husband and I just want
Avery and Sam's dream wedding to become

reality. You're up for it, right,
Cadence?

Absolutely. Consider your Christmas Eve
wedding taken care of.

Come on.

They're here.

Go, go.

How did you do this?

It's even more beautiful than we
discussed.

Aw, thanks, Kim.

Wait till you see when we power it up.

Twinkle!

Hey.

So I need you guys.

Do you think you can help us?

Yeah. So we're going to count down.

Three, two, one, magic.

And you're going to plug it in, and your
yard is going to come to life.

All right?

You guys think you can do that for us?

Yeah! All right, let's go. You take
that.

You take that. Here we go.

Three, two, one.

It's amazing.

Hey, kids.

I want you to check out your treehouse.

Because a little elf may or may not have
turned into a Christmas gift factory.

And there might be some hidden candy
canes in there.

Could be.

Go! Run!

Yay! Let's go!

Oh, thank you.

Oh, they're in the tree house out back.

Thanks, lovely.

You've done a great job.

Kim.

Hey, Cadence. Hi.

This is amazing. How did you... Cadence.

Henry.

Wait, did you do all this?

Yeah. Oh, me and my family, yeah.

Wow.

I'm going to go check on the kids.

I'll be right back. Great.

Oh, this is my mother. Hi. Hello.

I'm Twinkle. Oh, that's... I love that
name, Twinkle.

Well, my father, my dad, thought I had a
twinkle in my eye from the day that I

was born.

And this is my brother, Lack. Hi. It's
nice to meet you.

Hi.

Cadence and I, we're working on the
school play together.

Oh, oh, that's wonderful.

So far, so good. I mean, it's nothing
like this. What do I need? What do you

need to do to make this happen for the
play?

To make this happen?

Well, you need somebody who is a genius
with electricity, a consummate

professional who lives and breathes
organization.

But I'm booked.

Henry's not bad with a paintbrush,
though.

I'm organized. Don't worry. I'm
organized. It's all about balance, Lex.

It is. It's been so nice to meet you,
Cadence, but I have to finish backing

I'll go with you. I'll help you.

I'm excited to see the warehouse
tomorrow.

Oh, Henry invited you to the warehouse?

Yeah, to check out the props for the
Christmas play that... That we're doing.

That we're doing.

Oh.

We should go.

Okay. All right.

Bye.

They're amazing.

Yeah, they are.

A little nosy, but they're amazing.

Well, if you want to check out the North
Pole, it's this way.

You know what? I would really love to,
but I have to get Mary to bed, so I

should probably go.

Yeah, and I've got to pick up Ruthie
from the sitter. But I'll see you at the

warehouse bright and early.

You know, it's pretty cool.

What is?

The whole time that I was working here,
you were right next door.

It's like a sign.

Fine. We're going to make a great team.

Who's meant to be.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Look forward to it.

I got the mouse, I got the fox, and I
got the green guy who wants to steal

Christmas. Green guy, please.

Of course.

All right, scooch over.

Mom,

what's your favorite part of Christmas?

You are.

Mom, I'm serious.

So am I.

Mom, what gives you Christmas bumps?

Christmas bumps?

I think you mean goosebumps.

Goosebumps?

No?

No. Goosebumps are regular Christmas
bumps, or goosebumps you get from

Christmassy and magical.

Ruthie told me about them.

Well, um, I can't wait to see you up on
that stage as an elf.

I get Christmas bumps.

All right, let's read.

Little lady.

Green guy.

Doing Christmas.

Let's go.

What the hell?

Oh, Christmas bumps tonight.

Lucy, are we in a ponytail mood or a
pigtail mood?

Side pony, please.

Okay, for you, anything.

This batch is a little less burned.

But who doesn't like a little char in
their flapjacks, huh?

Me.

I don't. Hey, just put a little extra
syrup on it. You won't know the

difference.

Hey, Ruthie.

Jeffy's coming by the warehouse today.

Your friend Mary from school and her
mommy.

Wow, Mary's such a good elf.

I should prep here.

Dad, can you make two PB &Js? One for me
and one for Mary. And put on grape

jelly, please.

And spread it to the edges, you know,
like Mom used to do.

You bet, Ruthie Ruthie Snaggletoothie.

Hi, Uncle Ed. Well, good morning,
family.

Who let the Christmas elf in here?

Hello, relief pitcher.

Good morning.

You hungry?

No. Hey.

Well, we've got a big week ahead of us,
boys.

Okay, pancakes and business, and a
sandwich to stress over now.

The Donaldson family loves our North
Pole.

And what's up next, the Bryan family
wants the Candyland theme.

Awesome. We're on it. Yeah.

And? Yeah. And?

No. I'm sorry, guys. Nothing yet on the
Sutton house.

But she's having a garden club later
today, and she's having it at her house.

So? I'm going to send in some feelers.
I'm going to try to find out if she

to go ahead with this.

We just really need this Sutton gig.

I mean, that would make Twinkle All The
Way the go -to decorating company for

the whole tri -state area.

I just want to get my hands on that
yard.

Can you imagine what we could do with
that space?

It's got to be the most amazing
Christmas spectacle ever.

Daddy, are you excited for doing the
play with me?

I am so excited to make you the most
authentic elf village ever.

thing to do. Oh, Mary.

Well, thank you. No, it is a nice thing
to do.

Mary, hi. We made you a PB &J snack.

Yay.

I love PB &J.

Peppermint mocha?

Yay.

Mary, why don't you let your parents
check up the slides and we can go to

Cane Forest through Tinsel Tunnel.

Up the stairs and have some more PP &Js.
What do you think?

Yeah! Okay, let's go.

Careful.

All right.

Let's go find a sleigh.

Okay.

Which one do you like best?

Let's see.

Oh.

Got the tape measure, huh? Yeah.

Uh -huh.

That one's probably the same.

Yeah, I think they're all going to fit
in that

alcove. The question is which is the
right one.

This one is very elegant, conveying an
understated yet classic theme to our

Christmas. Rockwell, if you will.

I will. This one is more sleek and
vibrant and a bit more modern.

If you will. I will.

This one is like a child's dream.

Colorful and playful.

More fun.

Okay. This is the one.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I haven't made a
decision yet.

Tell you what.

How about you see if it feels right?

Feels right.

Where did you get this sleigh?

Where did you get all this stuff,
actually?

My brother and I, we've been collecting
Christmas items since we were little.

And it's all because of our mom.

Lex, Twinkle, and I, we've been
decorating houses for Christmas since I

remember.

She made it into an official business a
few years ago. Wait, so you do Christmas

all year round?

No. No, I wish.

I'm a painter.

I... I actually paint houses by day, but
I've been creating art my whole life.

Helps out with the props.

Yeah, I bet.

How do Lex and Twinkle fit into the
whole thing?

Lex is an electrician. Twinkle, she does
the accounting.

When our forces combine.

You sound like a great team.

I'm pretty lucky to have the family I
do.

You know, when my wife passed away,

Lex and Twinkle, they just put
everything aside and made sure that

got back on our feet.

I'm so sorry.

And my wife, she was the one who had the
whole parenting thing down.

I had no idea how hard it was until she
was gone.

I just want to make sure that Ruthie
doesn't feel like she's missing

Is that the doorbell?

No, that's the business phone.

Of course it is.

Hey, sorry about all that. No, are you
kidding?

I know all about being a single parent.

It's no joke.

Well...

I think this is the sleigh.

You sure you don't mind?

We'll drop it off in a couple days.

Great. The alcove is accounted for.

So,

um, that was Sue setting on the phone.

Yeah, I heard the tolling of the bells.

I guess I'm not going to have to follow
up with her at the garden club.

Oh, no.

Wow. Congratulations.

Who is Sue Sutton? Oh, she is an icon.

A huge socialite. Her family owns
Redbird Falls Chronicle. This is the

debt of our company.

Okay, so he wants you and Lex to go up
there today after the garden club so

you can, you know, discuss everything.
So I'm going to go call Lex.

No, you guys can prepare.

Okay. Hey, Miss and Ma 'am, I think it's
time for us to go finish our errands

for the day.

We'll walk you out.

Great.

Okay.

Ready?

One second.

All right.

Hi,

you must be Twinkle's boys I've heard so
much about. Come in and warm up. Thank

you. No, he's just wrapping up.

I got the coat.

Birthday. But an angel inspired her to
gather some weeds from the roadside and

bring them and put them in front of the
church's altar.

And that is the story of how poinsettias
became associated with Christmas.

Thank you so much for having us.

Your home is stunning.

Oh, thank you. Please have a seat.

Such a pleasure to meet you. And you.

Listen, your mother talks about you two
all the time. I really feel like I

already know you.

All good things, I hope.

Great thing.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed over
my party to you.

You know, I've overseen and planned
every last detail of every Christmas Eve

party we've ever had for the last 30
years.

What? Last year, our theme was 12 Days
of Christmas. And although it was

fabulous, there was just something
missing.

No shortage of poinsettias, I'm sure.

Just all the poinsettias. Go on.

I decided that it would be smart to
outsource the decorations and spectacle.

I want my guests to experience something
completely unexpected.

Well, we are definitely the company to
help you with that. Yeah.

I feel like you are also.

And we are going to find out sooner than
later.

Well... You know, my husband and I
invite nearly all of Redbird Falls, and

usually have quite the guest list. So if
you two play your cards right, this

could be a great opportunity for a
company such as yours.

Well, we will not let you down. No.

We'll do 20 rounds of pens, crystal
stemware, overflowing floral

delicate little tea lights on every
table.

Have you chosen the color for your
linens yet?

Oh, I think Caden said they were cream.
Right, Caden? Well, the lodge offers

white or cream, so it's up to you.

Thank you. I just want to make sure all
the details are perfect for Avery.

Mom, it will be beautiful.

We both know Cadence has it all figured
out. Plus, I keep telling you, Sam and I

don't care about all that little stuff.

This room will be breathtaking, and most
importantly, it'll be filled with love.

Let me show you what I have planned for
the cake cutting.

Come on.

So, after we pass the champagne fountain
and the stage...

This will be the centerpiece of the
room.

Now just imagine your gorgeous four
-tiered wedding cake framed by the

view while the snow falls gently behind
you on the lake.

Now that is something your guests won't
forget.

I love the idea of me and Sam cutting
our wedding cake with this background.

Really sounds like you put it all
together perfectly, Caden.

How do you do it?

I just organize and prioritize.

You miss me already?

This wedding is going to be amazing.

We're only six miles out of town and it
feels like we're on another continent.

I love this lodge and I love you. I love
you too.

Okay, look, we gotta decorate this
bridge.

It is the only way in and out of the
lodge, so let's make it sparkle.

I am picturing a horse -mounted greeter.
What do you think?

Ah! You think of everything.

Morning, Cadence.

Hey, where do you want this thing?

Yeah.

Yes, we just need to make sure that the
caterers are there by three, no later.

Hey, Cadence, this thing weighs a ton.
Great.

Yeah, great because it's sturdy, but
really, it's super heavy.

Here, you know what? Put it down up
here.

I've done it right. All right, here,
here, here, here, here.

We'll go climb down. Okay.

Ow, don't do that. Yes, that's exactly
what we talked about. I just wanted to

make sure that... Uh -huh. It should be
fine. Hey, Cadence.

Whoa, what the... Whoa!

Sorry.

I'm... Yeah, it's just paint. No, no,
that sorry was for somebody else,

actually. Thank you. Yes, thank you so
much. I'm looking forward to seeing your

revised proposal. Thank you. Thank you.

Hi.

I'm sorry, guys, I didn't see you or
hear you come in.

No, no worries. It was worth it to watch
you paint Henry.

Listen, I will leave you now with our
creative genius for a couple of hours,

Henry, we really need to get to work on
those crystal reindeer for the Sutton

house.

Do they have to be crystal?

Hand ring.

Got it. Crystal it is.

I'll see you soon.

Have fun.

Should we get started?

Painting? You bet.

Well, I took the liberty of picking out
some paint colors I thought would work

really well for the elf village. I also
sharpened a bunch of pencils so you

could sketch it out before you start
painting.

Before we start painting.

No. No, no, no.

I'm good with priming. I'm good with
designing. I am not an artist.

I don't believe you.

Okay, what did you have in mind for the
corner right over there?

I had that designated as a forest area,
so I was thinking trees and some snow.

That's perfect.

All right.

Go ahead. Get started.

No, I told you I can't. I told you you
can.

It's just paint. If you screw up, we'll
do it over.

No, I really can't. We don't have time
or the budget to just do it over.

Okay, hold this.

Okay.

What are you... You are going to
practice on this.

You want me to paint on your shirt
again?

It's just an old flannel. Plus, you put
a perfect swipe of snow on there. Just

build off of that.

I don't even... Well, here. I'm out.
Okay.

Well, just like that.

Hello there, perfect little evergreen.

Very natural.

Try on your own.

Well, watch out, Henry Harrison. There's
a new artist in town.

Yeah, there is.

I should start painting before every
wedding I plan.

Pretty stressed out?

I don't know what possessed me to agree
to a wedding on Christmas Eve.

What? Wedding on Christmas Eve?

Yeah. Of all nights.

Love and Christmas on the same night.
Does it get more magical than that?

That's one way to look at it.

Okay, Picasso.

Come here.

Time for the real deal. Come here.

Okay.

Do like some little branches.

Okay.

I love Danny's cooking.

Delicious.

I am stuffed, Danny. What's your secret?

He's married to me.

I'm cooking next time with Daddy and
jelly beans.

Are you kidding me? That is my absolute
favorite.

I will bring the jelly beans.

All right, I'm going to help Lucy with
her book.

Come on, let's go.

Wait, give me a kiss.

Love you, Daddy.

I love you too, honey. Go get ready for
bed. I'll be up to read in a minute.

Okay. All right.

So, Henry, how's the school play going?

It's great, but they paired me with this
mom who has these charts and blueprints

and crafts.

Lex tells me her name is Kayden, and
apparently she is quite stunning.

You have to agree, Henry.

Yeah, she's great, but she's just so,
um... Polar opposite of you.

Yes, she is polar opposite of me, Danny,
but we've been having fun with it.

Listen, Henry,

you're such a great dad.

I know for a fact that Melissa would
just be so, so proud of you.

Thank you, Lex.

Listen, losing her was a blow to all of
us.

But, uh...

Since then, you've just been running
around, taking care of everybody else,

except yourself.

So, if you are starting to feel that
spark again for somebody new... Which

is totally normal.

We just want you to know that it's okay.

Come on, Henry, you more than anybody
deserve to feel that kind of love again.

Listen, I won the lottery with Melissa.

How many people get to win the lottery
once, let alone twice in their life?

Besides, I just, I got my hands full.

Anyway, I got the Sutton gig, got the
Christmas show.

As your business partner, I am telling
you, it's okay to play the lottery

Isn't it worth taking a risk? Yeah, you
can't win if you don't play.

And Cadence is just so organized.

And sweet. She's sweet.

So I get them saying...

As your brother, go for it. Be brave,
Henry.

And as your business partner.

The Thudden House better be the talk of
the town.

Okay, big smiles, everyone. I want all
my...

to bring Mr.

and Mrs. Claus over to the sleigh.

And whoever has a present, you're still
here.

And then for the choir finale, I want us
to go upstage.

Perfect.

Everyone except for Mary and Ruthie will
be downstage.

And this is when the music will begin.
And the cue for the music is Mary's line

to Ruthie.

Tomorrow's the big night, and it's all
coming together.

Ruthie?

All the elves know now.

The true meaning of?

Christmas!

Uh... Thank to?

Oh, right! You!

Okay, now Mary's line.

Don't thank me. We're all part of the
same elf team.

You did such a great job in rehearsal,
honey. Daddy? Yeah?

What if I forget all my elf lines
tomorrow at the real play?

I might freeze when all those people are
in their seats. You won't. It could be

a Christmas disaster.

You know what, Ruthie? As someone whose
entire job it is to prevent little

disasters, I am telling you, you're
going to be great.

I will?

Yeah. Have you been practicing your
line? Every single day.

And have you been practicing your move?

Yeah, in front of my mirror.

We'll see. You're going to be great.

And honey, if you ever forget your
lines, you can always look for Miss

find me in the audience.

And we'll help you find your way.

Yeah. I get to always ask for help.

That's right.

Hey, Ruthie, you want to have a hot
chocolate lady tonight? Do you want it?

Chocolate play date, please.

Well, I'm okay with it, but we'll have
to ask Mary's mom.

Mom, please, I really need to have a hot
chocolate play date with Ruthie,

please. Maybe we can think about another
night.

Tonight.

I guess we're doing it tonight.

Tonight.

Welcome to Clark Cottage. Mom, can I go
show Ruthie my room? Yeah, go ahead.

Come on, Ruthie. Bye, Daddy.

We'll let you know when the hot
chocolate's ready.

Come on in.

All right.

Wow, I love the place.

Thank you.

What is that?

Oh, um, it's nothing, really. It's just,
uh...

Well, it's not nothing.

You know, why don't you just open it?

That's for me?

Yeah, it's for you.

I know

you said he didn't really paint, so I
thought your first landscape should be

acknowledged and preserved.

Henry, this is so thoughtful. I love it.

Really?

Yeah.

Good.

I also ran by the store.

I grabbed some hot chocolate just in
case you didn't have any. Great.

Is this your favorite kind?

Well, it's okay for store -bought, but
it's not homemade or anything.

The last time my parents came to visit,
my mom brought me her old recipe book,

which has this incredible recipe for
homemade hot chocolate. I haven't made

since I was a kid, but I do remember it
being this, like, creamy,

dreamy, Christmas delicacy.

Let's do the creamy, dreamy one.

Okay.

Here it is.

Did I just hear that box jingle?

Yeah, my mom gave me this whole box of
Christmas stuff from when I was little.

My mom and I used to go to these antique
shops and collect these little bells.

Cadence, you have been holding out on
me. These are awesome.

I forgot about them until right now. We
can use them to play if you want. I

don't know how, but... Well, leave it to
me. I'll figure it out.

Okay.

Yeah, hot chocolate.

Whoa, sorry.

Got a little chocolate on your lip. I
know how you love those things. I really

do. I can't help it.

When my ex left, I just felt so
overwhelmed with everything. I

scheduling every detail of my life to
stay on top of it.

My mantra has become organize and
prioritize.

Organize and prioritize.

You know, being a single mom, running my
own company, juggling all these balls,

it's exhausting.

I find that these schedules and lists
just help me be the best I can be for

Mary.

I totally get it.

And one of the most important things
that I've learned is that sometimes

for help isn't a weakness.

Sometimes it's the strongest thing you
can do.

Maybe I'll have to work on that.

You have given me a lot to think about
Henry Harrison.

I think the hot chocolate is ready.

We should call the elves down. We should
go get them.

Hey, girls, hot chocolate's ready.

Mom, it's seven minutes.

Why? We're making a surprise for you and
Daddy.

Okay.

Seven minutes it is.

Seven minutes.

Do you think we can make it to the North
Pole and back in ten minutes?

What? You know the treehouse toy factory
thing that I didn't get to see the

other day? Kim basically invited the
whole neighborhood over whenever, so is

that enough time?

Clock's ticking.

This really is incredible.

Look at all your detail.

The look on your face is why I do this.

To bring people back to when they were a
kid at Christmas when anything is

possible. You know, I'm kind of like
that with my weddings, too. I want all

my clients to truly feel like anything
is possible.

And I do love it when they see it all
come together, knowing that I've helped

make their dream a reality.

Right? Yeah.

This is incredible.

You designed this?

Yeah, well, me and a couple elves.

Okay, this is how it works. Okay.

You're going to pull the candy cane
leather, and then a box is going to just

drop right into that Santa bag.

It's going to go down through my toy
factory, and out's going to pop a

wrapped present.

You want me to try right now?

Okay, the kids must love this. I love
this. See?

And no matter what age you are, it makes
you feel that magic deep inside. It

gives you that feeling.

Oh, how do I explain it?

Like Christmas bumps?

Yeah.

Christmas bumps.

You know they're contagious.

We should probably get back in there.

We've got a surprise waiting for us.

Yeah. Go.

It's very quiet.

I'm a little nervous.

Girl?

We're outside the door. We got the
goods. We're ready to come in.

Okay, Cadence, I want you to say three,
two, one, magic.

Then you can open the door.

Got it? Got it.

Ready? Yes.

Three, two, one, magic!

Whoa, my gosh. I can't believe it.

Amazing! I love it! Oh, wow!

When do I get to move into this magical
Christmas fort?

Right now! Quick! Get inside the
Christmas igloo! The snowstorm is about

start! Quick!

Oh, no! Mom, bring the hot chocolate!

Okay! Let's go!

Everybody, take a sip of your magical
hot cocoa to protect you from the cold!

This is the best hot chocolate I have
ever, ever, ever, ever, ever tasted.

Just how I remember it.

It's like a creamy, dreamy Christmas
delicacy.

It is, I told you.

I made that blue sperm.

I hope you did.

I didn't know how to do it because I
can't use scissors.

You can't use scissors, no.

I put that rule a long time ago.

You taught her?

Man,

that yard is a lot bigger than I
remember.

Really? I thought it was smaller.

Okay.

So, wait a second. Henry, I think you
put the light tunnel where the ice

team is supposed to go.

No, I didn't.

Did I?

We already ordered the materials for the
light tunnel.

If we measured the wrong area, we might
not have enough to complete it.

Wait.

We're going to have to order more. The
light tunnel is supposed to go from here

to the fountain. Yeah, but what about
the snowflake forest? That's supposed to

go right next to the fountain, too.

Okay.

Totally might screw up.

Okay, we're just going to have to figure
out what to move. Oh, hi, Mrs. Sutton.

Hey, boys. I figured I would come by and
share two of the new RSVPs we just

received. Oh, good.

Okay. Who's that?

The mayor and his wife and our Redbird
Falls Chronicle has just said that they

are considering this party for the cover
of their annual Christmas Day social

edition. Oh, man.

Right? What if we make the cover?

What if?

Wow, I can't wait to tell Twinkle.

She's going to be so thrilled that so
many people are going to see Twinkle of

the Way's work.

Absolutely, and keep up the great work.
I can't wait to see how this will look.

We can't either.

We have to figure this out.

Grab the blueprints. I'll get the tape
measure, and we will make this right.

OK. OK.

Morning, Twinkle.

Good morning, Cadence.

To what do I owe the pleasure of this
visit?

Well, Henry left his scarf at my house
last night. I figured I'd just drop it

off for him or... Oh, that's so sweet.

Um, come sit down.

Um, well, I... Oh, come on, come on,
come on. Just for a minute.

Okay, okay.

Um, I'm hearing a jingling following
you.

Just tell me you're hearing that, too.
Yes, I am. I also brought these bells

that Henry thought he could use for the
show.

Oh.

So, how was last night?

It was amazing, actually.

I found my mom's old recipe for homemade
hot chocolate, which was... And how was

the play date?

That was amazing, too. The girls got
along so well.

And it was just nice to have some adult
conversation that didn't revolve around

wedding planning.

I'm glad to hear that.

Henry rarely connects with other
parents.

Really? Yeah. Some people find his
exuberance overwhelming.

That's my favorite part about him.

I mean, I don't...

I don't know him that well, but I find
his joy to be pretty contagious.

So do I.

I didn't offer you anything.

How about a glass of water? How about a
cup of coffee?

From one single mother to another, I
know the value of a good cup of coffee.

Sure. I'd love a cup.

Okay. Okay, great.

You okay?

Yes, I'm okay.

Oh! Okay, all right. Wait.

I don't know.

Let me get you some help here, okay?

All right.

Here,

Twinkle, this will make you feel better.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

No. I'll do it. I'll do it.

Really? Henry, please.

There are 20 -somethings that get
dehydrated, too.

It's not a thing.

I can go back to work. No, not so fast.
You have to rest. Mom, no more warehouse

for a while. No more stressing out about
anything, okay?

You must really mean business if you're
calling me Mom.

Well, I sure as... I'm telling you, I
love you both, but I'm fine.

Really.

Okay, I'm just glad you were there.

Are you kidding me? So am I.

It'd take a lot more than this to slow
her down.

Hello, Twinkle.

Hey, Doc.

Hi.

I'm happy to say I'm sending you home.
Oh!

So she's okay?

She'll be just fine.

Plenty of fluid and plenty of rest for
the next couple of days.

Doc, I think I know the answer, but any
chance that she could go to a play

tonight?

I wouldn't push it for tonight, but...

She's fine to rest at home by herself
for a few hours.

Oh, guys.

I'm sorry.

This is terrible timing.

No nonsense. Hey, they can make a
recording and you can watch it later.

I'm not just talking about Ruthie's
show.

Well, the Sutton house.

Lex and I, we have that under control.

We were over there today measuring and
prepping. It's going to be great. It's

perfect. Yeah, totally. You can rest
easy, Twinkle.

Well, I'm going to get going.

I'll walk you out. Just let me talk to
the doc.

Come here, my hero in heels.

Please stop.

No, really.

Hayden, thank you. Thank you.

It's really funny how a cup of coffee
can turn into this.

It's unexpected, that's for sure. Yeah.

Sometimes it's bad.

Sometimes it's good.

See, unexpected.

It makes life great.

Yes.

Well, I will see you soon. Okay. And
rain check on that coffee date, please.

Yes, absolutely.

Rest well. I will.

But, Henry, we just need to focus right
now, especially with Twinkle Healing.

You and I, we have to step up.

We haven't given the Sudden House the
attention that it needs, and there is

so much riding on this. We have to get
our act together.

Today was my fault.

We can't afford a mistake like that
again.

Look, I went into the office to get
Twinkle's things, and the accounting

was open.

We just need to make sure that this
party is perfect so we can get the word

I know.

I know, we will.

I just need to, uh... I just need to
organize and prioritize.

I promise no more hot chocolate
playdates.

That is not what I mean.

Henry, come on. Sorry to interrupt.

Henry, this is yours.

Oh, thanks.

I gotta go.

Maybe I'll see you tonight.

Maybe.

Hold on. Wait up.

Everything okay?

Yeah. I'm not getting the everything's
okay vibe.

Henry, I've been having a great time
getting to know you and Ruthie. Same.

I've just got so much going on right
now.

Well, so do I, but I want to make room
for this.

I know.

I wish we could.

I wish we had time.

We'll make time.

Look, I know you think there's something
magical about love and Christmas

together, but I don't know if I'm even
the kind of person who gets Christmas

bumps.

For me, love has just always been more
work, more things for me to check off my

list.

Your list?

My plate. I'm just used to doing things
on my own.

Okay?

Well, you don't have to do things on
your own. I can help you with your list.

Sorry, I have to take this. I'll see you
tonight.

Hey, Avery, hi.

It's the true meaning of Christmas.

Thanks to you.

Don't thank me. We're all part of the
same elf team.

Cadence, that's set.

You and Henry should be designing for
Broadway.

This is Danny.

Hi. Nice to finally meet you. To meet
you.

You did great.

Yeah, so did you.

Okay, we're going to go.

What? We're going.

So, Linda said we don't need to take
down any of the sets or move anything

after the holiday.

School's going to be locked, so one less
thing to worry about.

Great.

Yeah, well, I guess I'll see you after
Christmas.

I tried, but I can't get you out of my
head.

You're all that I want and you're all I
can have.

Just like a gold star.

Every day I walk away and come back over
and

over again. These aren't the red bows.

Over and over again. Did we order these?

most important wedding of my career.

Thank you for calling Lakeview Lodge.
I'm sorry, no one's available.

This is Beth.

Avery! Hi!

Cadence, I'm freaking out.

Don't worry. Don't worry. It's going to
be fine.

Remember that time in college when we
thought the English building was locked

and we weren't going to be able to turn
in our final exams on time?

Yes. Why?

Well, we did, and it was fine.

And we were just, you know, worrying
over nothing. It's just probably the

thing.

four feet of snow on the ground, and
they're saying it's going to snow

all day and all night. Avery, Avery, you
are getting married today. I promise

you.

I'm still at home. My wedding dress and
makeup are in the car.

Sam is waiting on my word. I mean, we're
literally ready to go.

What if they close the bridge to
Lakeview Lodge?

I am going to make sure that they don't
do that. I'm heading there right now,

okay? Just stay put.

I'm on it.

We head over to Kim to see if she can
start washing you a little earlier than

thought.

I get to go to the North Pool?

Count me in.

Let's go!

Excuse me?

Excuse me, sir. This bridge, it can't
close.

I'm sorry, miss.

The bridge isn't safe and the weather
isn't getting better. But I'm hosting a

wedding at the lodge tonight.

Please, so much is riding on this
wedding. I made a promise.

Please don't make me break that promise.

The city is closing the lodge as well.

What?

I'm sorry, but the storm is just too
much and it's not safe.

Merry Christmas.

Hi. Well?

It's closed.

Both the bridge and the lodge, and for
the literal icing on the cake, I am

on the side of the road.

What are we going to do?

Okay, give me just a couple of minutes
for me to get unstuck, and I will call

you back, okay?

Okay, we are on schedule and great for
tonight.

Neither sleet nor snow nor blizzard will
keep us from making this the most

memorable Christmas Eve ever. Choose
guests who will not leave their eyes.

Well, if she has any guests, I mean,
this weather is nasty and it's heading

right for the center of our town.

Hi, Cadence.

Hey.

Um, I was just wondering how the Sutton
house is going.

It's good. We're about to head over now.

Great. Yeah, we got some weather, but
we're dealing with it.

I bet you're knee -deep in your wedding
checklist about now.

Or feet -deep, actually.

Listen, I know today is a huge day for
you and Twinkle all the way.

It is. I actually have to go because we
have to head out.

Wait.

Life is full of so many big moments, and
it

might be nice to share them with someone
again.

And I am stuck on the side of the road
by the lake you left, so I thought

that I would share that with you.

Someone told me I should ask for help
more often, so here I am.

Lakeview Lodge.

I'll be right there.

Hey, I need the truck.

Are you kidding me? We've got to go set
up. It's Cadence. She's in trouble.

Okay, I'll meet you at the Sutton house.

Okay. All right. You be careful. Yeah.

Hey, Ruthie.

I'll see you soon, okay?

Get her, Dad.

I can get you a set of tire change for
your car when this clears up.

My car is the least of my worries right
now.

This wedding was a huge deal for my
company. And plus, I made promises to

A beautiful four -tiered wedding cake in
front of an even more beautiful A

-frame window at the lodge with snow
gently falling behind her onto the lake.

Gently, gently falling. Not just this
crazy blizzard.

Well, what are you going to tell her?

I have never broken a promise like this
before.

And the first time I do it, I will be
crushing my friend's dream of a perfect

wedding.

Attention. All residents of Redbird
Falls, due to the hazardous weather

conditions and citywide power outage,
please report to your designated storm

shelter at the Redbird Falls Elementary
School immediately.

Hey, Lex, yeah, I just heard. Yeah, the
school. I heard.

Well, what are we going to do about the
event?

Hang on.

Kim? Yes, I will meet you and Mary
there. Thank you so much. Well, we can't

cancel and we can't reschedule. What
does Twinkle think? Avery?

Okay, well, hey, Lex, Ruthie, and
Twinkle, they're going to meet at

Hang on a sec.

Sue Sutton and half her guest list are
going to be there, too.

What? I don't know.

You know what? Just bring everything and
I'll meet you at the school. I'll meet

you at the school.

Guess we're going to school.

I guess we're going to school.

Avery, I'm so sorry.

I don't know what to say. We planned for
everything.

Not a snow blizzard?

Yeah, not a snow blizzard.

It's okay, Cadence.

I know you're so disappointed, honey. So
am I.

You really did plan a beautiful
Christmas Eve wedding, Cadence.

When this clears up, I'm going to marry
you.

We've waited this long. It's a few more
days, right?

The last time we were in this gym, I was
wearing a tux.

Sixth grade dance?

You were the only boy in a tuxedo.

How could I not fall for you? Wait,
wait, hang on.

I knew you guys met in elementary
school, but I didn't know it was this

elementary school.

Yeah, we were both in the band.

He asked me out by the lockers in Red
Hall.

Down that hallway to the left, third row
of lockers.

In those days, locker notes were
considered romantic.

Excuse me, can I talk to you for a
minute?

Jack.

So, you may have opened the floodgates
with the whole help card, because I'm

about to ask you for a whole lot more.

Okay, you really need to get snow tires.

Okay. So, this might sound crazy, but...

I really want to fulfill my promise to
Avery and Sam, and if you help me, I

think we can still give them an
incredible Christmas Eve wedding right

Here? Yeah, well, in the auditorium, to
be exact.

The Christmas sets are still up.

I think you've got to let this one go.
No, no, no, no, no, no. I can organize

and prioritize this wedding into
existence. I know I can.

But I cannot do it without you.

I need your help to make it special.

Okay, okay, I'm in.

Thank you!

Avery, do you have your dress and your
makeup? In the car. Why?

Hey guys, I think we can make a little
Christmas magic happen here tonight.

What do you mean?

Well, Cadence wants to have the wedding
here.

How?

With our help.

Sue, I know this is a special night for
you and your family.

But I think we can give you a little
taste of the event that we had planned,

at the same time, given this bride, all
the people here, especially your guests,

a Christmas event they will never
forget.

Wow.

I've certainly never had a wedding at
one of my Christmas events.

Henry, look at you, really elevating a
Sutton party.

Okay. Abrison. So are we.

Awesome. Okay, so the first thing we
need is an officiant. Oh, not a problem.

I'm ordained.

I am.

Twinkle, what don't you do?

I would like to help.

My trunk is full of poinsettias.

What was mine?

Amazing. The garden club is the real
deal. Yes, it is.

Let's bring it in. Let's bring it all
in. See what Twinkle all the way can do.

What's better than love and Christmas,
right?

Okay, so where is this happening? The
auditorium.

What about the power outage?

Well, the school is running on generator
power, but I think I can try to reroute

the power to there. Where did you park
the truck?

Love you, Mom.

I love you, too.

Henry asked good hand and vowed. He made
sure everybody knew to follow your cue.

My cue?

Yeah.

You're the mother of the bride.

You'll know one at a time.

This is your moment, are you ready?

She did.

It's perfect.

What a day.

Am I right?

Tonight, we have all been brought
together for a very special reason.

To witness the love of these two
beautiful souls.

Avery Rachel Abbott and Samuel William
Laurel.

Life is never what you expect it to be.

Can we all attest to that?

Whether it's a day of sunshine.

Where's Henry?

Last I saw him was backstage.

Or you're waking up to a snowstorm.

But you too can weather everything.

Life brings your way.

If you do it together.

There's something so beautiful.

About the unexpected.

It's my view.

It's her view.

That was a nice touch.

That wasn't me.

Henry really outdid himself with this
one.

Now let's get you two married.

All right, this is for you.

Thank you. This is for you.

Pam, do you take Avery as your lawfully
wedded wife?

In sickness and in health, for richer or
poorer, in sunshine

or snowstorms?

As long as you both shall live.

I do.

And do you, Avery? I do.

Always.

Well, with the power vested in me, I now
pronounce you

husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

Three, two...

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mr.

and Mrs.

Laurel.

It's Henry.

How did you... The keftier was stuffed
with ice cream sandwiches.

Of you, Henry.

Well, it's not like you lied, but I did
the best.

I think I finally got him.

Got what?

Christmas stump.

I told you they're contagious.

The best, most magical Christmas ever.

Oh, why is that?

Because it just feels right.

Yeah, exactly.

Let's go check out the presents, okay?

Mwah!

Christmas the holiday that lifts the

star upon our trees shining so bright

I know I keep

on reminiscing oh but I can't help

from missing that Christmas.
