well hello there

as you already know this is my favorite

time of year there is nothing more

magical

than seeing the faces of children during

christmas time

families spending time together eating

delicious food

and feeling the love that connects all

of us

but every year there are those who stop

believing in the magic of christmas

and we just can't let that happen now

can we

no of course not

and that takes us to christmas eve where

we're expecting seasonal temperatures

along with a chance of snow so what

you're saying is that with a little

christmas magic

we could have some snow on christmas eve

well santa's slate does run better in

the snow doesn't it harper

it sure does brad so let's cross our

fingers for that christmas magic

reporting live from the christmas

skate-a-thon i'm harper hart

channel 9 news and we're out

it's miss magic my foot you know the

guys in the studio told me you're a bit

of a

grinch

you should be happy you're on holidays

now until the new year right

great i get to spend the next couple of

days surrounded by all things christmas

rather be working grinch

do you know why it snails i ice crystals

they form in the upper clouds and when

the temperature drops below zero degrees

celsius and there's

precipitation we get snow and that's all

because of magic right

no it's science not magic

hello mrs hart we're hoping we get a

photo with you

of course

[Music]

and then i went on a rant about there

being no such thing as magic

and when i turned around there were all

these kids there waiting to take a photo

well if you ask me it sounds kind of

funny

no not funny brad there are kids here

pumpkin everyone makes mistakes you're a

wonderful woman don't sweat it

thank you and you'd make me feel better

so what time do you pick me up uh

picking you up

we're going to my parents place remember

um i'm having lunch with the station

managers i think they want me to host my

own segment on the evening telecast

isn't that great yeah but we were gonna

help my family set up the last of their

christmas decorations

harper you and i both dislike christmas

and christmas decorations

so true but my family loves this stuff

it would be easier for me to deal if you

were here

cancel only three times harper i gotta

go

gentlemen thank you for waiting

brad hello

oh here when he gets this way well i

hope your meeting goes really really

well brad

do i detect a hint of sarcasm

be careful you might end up on my

naughty list

you're right sorry sir i hope everything

is okay

yes sir it's uh it's nothing

you can call me santa if you like it's

not really my thing

nonsense harper i saw you earlier with

that santa hat

and those wonderful christmas earrings

you recognize me from the television

i only dress like this when i'm on the

air my producer makes me

well your producer is going on the nice

list

you might want to double check that one

i'm

kidding my producer's a great guy most

the time

well let's see if we can get some of

that christmas spirit

backing you

sure but um i actually

have to go right now i'm really sorry to

keep this conversation short it was

really

nice to meet you and great santa suit

that it's fake good job

[Music]

winter floats

[Music]

hey it's me

i thought he was coming so did i he had

a work thing that popped up

oh that poor man works too hard

hey dad hey mark

[Music]

harper hi holly

i'm so glad you're here it's nice to see

you too lil sis

mistletoe

candy cane what i have no idea what

we're talking about

family mistletoe you know the one the

magic one ah okay why does everyone keep

bringing up

magic this time of year look holly i've

told you like a hundred times there is

no such thing as magic

okay our grandparents our parents mr and

mrs big knight

barry and terry our cousin heather and

the guy she married peter

peter and the other peter who married

stephanie and then stephanie's

coincidence highly uncommon coincidence

but coincidence nonetheless when people

kiss under our family's mistletoe

they fall in love period fat

undeniable holy harp

i think mark is finally ready to propose

oh my gosh mom and dad don't know

i'm so happy for you

and this is why i need that mistletoe

you had it last year when you

volunteered to host christmas

dinner remember volunteered yeah okay

the terms peer pressured guilted and

shamed come to mind okay

fine i have it somewhere in my condo

i'll look for it tonight

thank you okay bring it to dinner on

christmas eve i'm gonna hang it in the

door

to the family room and make sure mark

and i are

accidentally standing under it at the

same time oh

my kids sister getting married

before me you still have brad

by the way where is he

[Music]

so i'm up for anything i'm like whatever

you want to throw at me i'll take and

we're going back and forth and then

nelson mentions the possibility of me

hosting my own investigative series

that's great

i know it's i mean it's super premature

but just the fact that the upper brass

sees me in that light i mean it speaks

to so many things

i think i'm gonna order chinese are you

in hold on

are we going out for dinner tonight oh

pumpkin i can't um it's gonna be a late

night for me and i've got a bunch of

stuff to finish up here at the station

so

yeah no worries elle and i are gonna do

chinese okay great

so like i was saying nelson thinks i'm

perfect for this just the place that i'm

at

in my career i think it's gonna be

really a great opportunity to showcase

myself

[Music]

so your sister's getting engaged yep

and she's younger than you right

yep i can't believe that brad bailed on

you

again i just wish we were on the same

page with this relationship you know

yeah i get it and

it looks like he might be getting a

promotion yeah it looks like it

so how does he feel about you trying to

get your own promotion

well i haven't exactly told him that i'm

aiming for my own promotion

really so let me get this straight you

want him to take the relationship more

seriously and yet

you haven't told him about your

promotion possible

promotion i thought we were getting

chinese food

oh yeah the pizza guy way cuter

fair enough hey do you remember what i

did with that box of

christmas decorations that i had here a

year ago yeah

it used to be my storage unit you asked

me to hold on to it for you

used to be uh i donated a bunch of that

stuff to the thrift shop last week

what i needed the space you

said you didn't want anything in there

you wanted no no no no

no no no no

[Music]

i can't believe it's not here the

family's gonna kill me

we have checked every box she's never

gonna forgive me

is this yours or mine

that one's mine oh cool

can i have it you know me and hats

sure

why don't you just buy new missiles

it was special

special heart family legend says that my

grandparents first kissed under that

mistletoe on christmas

and were married soon after since then

anyone who kisses under the mistletoe is

married before the following christmas

a magic mistletoe why didn't you tell me

uh we need to keep looking okay there is

no such thing as magic

it's just some silly story but

everybody feels like it's magic and now

i'm the one who's lost it

at christmas time too ouch thanks elle

you know i forgot it was christmas time

it was an accident

your family will understand you don't

understand

my family loves christmas they always

have and i just

you're a grinch christmas just isn't my

thing

neither is magic or luck

or fun

you know what you need a magic mistletoe

a christmas miracle right

because even though magic doesn't exist

miracles do

why don't you believe

because i'm an adult there's no such

thing

as magic or miracles or luck

if you want something you work hard to

get it

well that's your opinion no

it's literally a fact l hard work is the

answer

is hard work gonna fix this problem for

you or

will it take a little magic or like i

like to say

a miracle of the christmas variety

hard work really

when did you drop off the boxes last

week

why well go to the thrift store first

thing in the morning and buy it back

i mean the chances that someone got it

are small right so it's got to be there

yeah

it's possible but positive thinking elle

okay

[Music]

a holiday gift this year for christmas

your magic mistletoe

let the big stores handle last-minute

shoppers smart

oh there he is

i gave it away was it the red suit hat

and beard

hello hi mr santa

hello hey it's not mr stanley just santa

santa yeah can i help you miss thank you

yes we just need to ask mr santa

something oh no it's just santa

i told you his last name is claus

technically would be mr claus but

everyone just calls him santa

we're not asking santa for any presents

we just need to ask him to give us

something back that's very important to

me for christmas

oh really uh maybe it does sound like

i'm asking for presents but we're not

back in the line

okay

[Music]

frosty has his top hat

rudolph oh come on you could be this

agitated waiting in line to get their

photo with santa

no it's it's not that

it's my boyfriend he just said there's a

chance that he might not be able to meet

my family tonight

your boyfriend you mentioned him the

other day

yeah yeah he's just some guy from work

he's been really busy lately no it's not

christmas time the holidays people get

busy this holiday makes people crazy

hey since when did you stop liking

christmas

you weren't always this way what do you

mean

well as a kid i'd walk by your house

every day to school

and at christmas time your house was the

most decorated i've ever seen

yeah it still is really but that was my

family's doing not mine

oh okay well growing up around all this

christmas cheer how did you

become such a um

a grinch i didn't say

no but it's true i am

[Music]

so

it's a long story oh well

we got time

when i was a kid i

loved my grandma so much she was this

amazing woman

she was a scientist back when women

weren't usually scientists oh wow

yeah she was so smart i got my love of

signs from her

we were like best friends hmm sounds

like an amazing role model to grow up

with yeah

she was and then

just before christmas when i was nine

she passed away

oh harper i'm sorry that

that must have been so difficult yeah

yeah i was devastated and before i knew

it the holidays came around

and my parents did what they always did

they decorated the house

they were acting like they were happy

and i guess i resented it now i couldn't

understand how they could just

move on with christmas and life without

her

just felt fake well you were a kid

that's

understandable i guess this whole buying

presence and throwing parties this time

of the year regardless of what's going

on in our lives

just feels forced like people going

through the motions

well i think people build traditions so

that as generations

change they can be honored and

remembered

you know regardless of what people are

doing in their lives

i feel these the yearly traditions they

keep families together

they bring happiness and the good time

and peace and comfort in the difficult

times

going through the motions as you say

just

it brings comfort into people's lives

when they're going through a difficult

time

[Music]

you're very lucky that your family still

celebrates together

never thought of it that way thank you

folks you're next

okay

sander sit down young man

oh you're really sitting down okay

yeah oh you'll have to excuse my friend

here santa

she's not the biggest fan of christmas

these days oh it seems harper hasn't

been a fan of christmas for a while now

you again i saw him a few days ago at

the ice rink

a santa a christmas weird no like

literally the exact same santa

it's nice seeing you again harper are we

ready to get a picture taken with santa

claus

so harper weren't you gonna ask santa

oh right the mistletoe santa a few days

ago a woman named catherine

my aunt yes aunt catherine she brought

in a box of christmas decorations

oh yes she did it was faster than going

back to the north pole and getting my

own

oh okay

so in that box of christmas decorations

was a mistletoe

that is very important to me in my

family

a magic mistletoe

no just a mistletoe a regular everyday

mistletoe that again just so happens to

be very important to me in my family

why is it so important well

because of its ability to spread magic

everywhere it goes that is special so

crowded malls plus you get to pick any

[Music]

filled with toys

choirs will sing bells will ring

snowflakes may feel the air

that's how i'll know it's christmas

[Music]

i need your christmas

thank you

but i still need to get something for

elle

one final touch

a hat that's it she loves hats

thanks for helping me out with this

crazy quest are you kidding me i love

quests

seriously it's nice not having to do

this alone

brad would never do this with me well

it's christmas i feel it's my duty to

help people out

also when we were at the mall waiting

for santa

and i told you about my grandma yeah

thanks for listening and

thanks for the new perspective anytime

and thank you for trusting me enough to

tell me well we do go way back

we do but to be honest i'm having fun

tracking down your magic mistletoe

me too

fake christmas trees huh wait this guy

sells fake christmas trees at a

christmas tree stand

it's brilliant how

well maybe not everybody wants a real

tree oh come on who doesn't want a real

tree

the way they look the way they make your

house melts all part of the christmas

experience

well i for one don't like the idea of

using a real tree

do you have any idea how bad plastic

trees are for the environment but they

last so much longer than just one season

do you know how much carbon gas is put

into the air by cutting down and

shipping trees every year

and multiply that by the 10 years you

have one fake christmas tree

i think i'm losing my mind here you

really are upset yep

it's cute excuse me

excuse me can you tell us about your

trees here

i don't even think they realize we're

here no hello

you'll have to excuse my uh two sales

people here

they've fallen down with a bad case of

puppy love i'm afraid

buddy that's me buddy of buddy's fake

christmas tree stand

huh so buddy uh what's going on here why

are you selling

fake christmas trees at a christmas tree

stand it's

just like your girlfriend said oh we're

not together

oh okay anyways just like the ladies

said you know fake christmas trees last

longer and

ultimately they're better for the

environment yeah even though they're

plastic and they end up in landfills oh

no no not these ones here they're all

made out of completely recycled

materials

recycled huh even better i've been

trying to get everyone to make the

switch for years oh good for you

but why sell them at a christmas tree

stand once because you're getting a fake

tree doesn't mean you have to miss out

on the whole christmas tree buying

experience

well that part's nice i i did love

shopping for the perfect tree with my

parents

so uh what type of tree are you two

looking for i can give you a great deal

on these pre-lits over here actually

we're not

looking for a tree we're looking for a

particular mistletoe

are you are you sure you two aren't a

couple

look i know it sounds funny but my

family has this

magic mistletoe that my friend

accidentally donated along with the box

of decorations

to his thrift store and by chance my

aunt bought that box of decorations

and turns out she bought it for a friend

who runs a santa booth at the antique

ball

and we tracked down that mall santa and

he said that he has no use for mistletoe

and that he gave it to you oh wearing

antly slaybells

yeah i know the santa you're talking

about he's a good guy i was just there

the other day with my kids getting our

christmas photo shoot uh and we started

talking about the tree stand

yeah that santa really loves to chat

yeah well he said he had these

decorations he didn't want anymore

asked me if i watered them and i said

sure so if you want to see the missile

tell her right back here

great great

[Music]

no it's not here i don't see it do you

have any more somewhere

ah sorry those are the only ones i have

mine was held together with a

red and green wire almost like um like a

pipe cleaner

and it has a red bow on the bottom here

let me take another look no no wait i

remember that one

you do big red bow yeah my sales

kid it's the only thing he sold this

week uh to some guy that i've seen

around the neighborhood though uh he

owns a bar just down the road

hmm let's go yeah wait hold on

how long have those who've been so cozy

for

uh a few days now

you don't say right about the time that

mistletoe showed up

oh right about that time yeah

interesting yeah that kids haven't been

able to sell anything since

but uh i don't know the heart to fire

them at christmas

we'll fall in love all the time during

the holidays sure they do

magic

i'll fire them after new year's

[Music]

okay first there was aunt catherine

running into robert in the taxi

hmm there's no such thing as magic

and then there was that cute little

winking smile between santa and mrs

claus

probably not the real names but you're

really going out on a limb for that one

huh

but it was cute obviously been touched

by the magic mistletoe

i think you're misusing the word obvious

all right and

then there's buddy's fake christmas tree

stand as strange as a concept as it was

and if by strange you mean brilliant

okay he has two lovebirds who just

happen to fall in puppy love right

around the time they come into contact

with said

missing magic mistletoe okay they're

kids on

a break from school spending time

together it's a

pretty common way for kids to fall in

love you know what i love

how you continue to refuse to believe in

the magic of your family's mistletoe

in the face of irrefutable evidence okay

again i think you're misusing the word

irrefutable

and evident not according to my law

degree

law degree you're on a thrift shop

i know actually i started a chain of

charity thrift stores

to help people buy things they couldn't

otherwise afford

wait so you're a lawyer i used to

practice law but i don't anymore well

that's crazy

that's what my mom said and my

ex-girlfriend at the time

wait so you gave up your career as a

lawyer so that you could run a charity

yeah huh

you really are full of surprises lucas

the name's luke

and everybody loves surprises

we're here let's go

[Music]

can you see it not yet

[Music]

oh i see it it's over by the bar yeah

let's go

um hi we're

closed uh what sorry

have good night folks merry christmas no

wait we

we have to come inside i thought i made

myself clear

we are close i don't understand it's

still early

okay it's christmas eve people

like to spend christmas eve with their

loved ones

we're closed merry christmas

again um wait sir

my friend has to use the restroom

really really bad i do

well i do

real bad you know

okay so why'd you tell him i had to go

to the washroom again i don't know it's

all i could come up with

look we needed to get in and now we're

in we all right so what's the game plan

here did we just

steal this mistletoe oh it's my missile

though but

no it's actually technically not your

mistletoe

okay listen mr lawyer we have come too

far for something to go wrong

what if he doesn't want to sell it what

do we do

how i don't know maybe he likes

meteorology

nobody likes meteorology lots of people

do whether

people but not normal people who work at

bars okay are we gonna make fun of my

profession or are we gonna do this

okay all right so what do i do

you go over there untie the mistletoe

hiding your jacket and then give me a

signal

go yeah okay whoa wait what's the signal

i don't know i got it it's me running on

the bar as fast as i can

okay hey yep

mushrooms this way got it thank you

right over just be cool cool go go

yeah okay guys i'm really bad at these

things

have no one's going to jump why would

anyone go to jail

probably focus

hey that's good

[Music]

hi hello how's it going

it's good good yeah i'm doing good too

ready so how long have you worked there

a while

hey hey what what in the name of

christmas you think you're doing it what

who me why are you trying to steal that

mistletoe it's

a mistletoe the one you're trying to

untie

oh uh mr bouncer sir this is my fault

okay what the heck is going on you got

to use the bathroom or not i

didn't but no now i do i'm sorry but

this is my family's mistletoe

and it's an heirloom that i mistakenly

well

actually my friend elle she's kind of

quirky

um right it was donated to luke's thrift

shop

and well we kind of traced it back to

your bar yeah

we're kind of like detectives yeah

and my sister she thinks her boyfriend's

gonna propose to her this christmas

and it's kind of a family tradition she

wants to kiss him under the mistletoe

that's a cute story no but i can't give

you this mistletoe please you have to

understand this means the world to my

family

but i can't give up we'd be willing to

buy it from you absolutely yeah

nope uh i can replace it i've got i've

got a shelf

full of mistletoes and garlands if you

want

yeah wreaths i have lovely wreaths

oh you should see his reese they're

beautiful

thank you oh yeah listen i can't let you

take the mistletoe because it's not my

bar

i'm just a bouncer you have to talk to

my boss the owner

you sure we can't just work something

out you know when three of us is here

my boss can get pretty weird about this

kind of stuff weird

you'll see you want that mistletoe you

have to wait till it gets here

yes we wait we're cutting it really

close

no no we'll get in time can i offer you

two a drink while you wait

oh i'm driving don't drink

i have hot cocoa sure

so what about you why haven't you gotten

married yet

ah you know how it is finding the right

person and all

well there must have been someone

there was this amazing woman from law

school

sounds promising what happened

i hated the hours i worked as being a

lawyer and i

mostly the people i work with i didn't

like so

yeah i've been there yeah

i needed a change i i wanted my life to

be more than just

billable hours so that's when you

started the thrift store

yeah yeah a lot of areas are really

under service

with housing prices going up and rent

average salaries staying the same it's

getting harder and harder for most

people to make ends meet

and stores like yours make it easier for

people to have a

few more things they otherwise wouldn't

yep

you're a really sweet guy you know that

oh here comes the owner and

he looks grumpy actually uh excuse me

sir i was just wondering if we could

have a moment of your time my bouncer

tells me you want my mistletoe

well technically it's my mistletoe

technically i bought it from a fake

christmas tree stand

two days ago fake christmas tree stand

don't ask

and if it's magic why would i want to

sell it but my sister

she really needs it for this evening

listen lady it's the holidays

i'm really busy wait hold on we haven't

even introduced

ourselves my name's luke

i'm harper wait a minute

meteorologist harper hart metro channel

to shake your hand oh

luck

final thoughts i saw one last week

look how happy mr west is

i never would have thought

meteorologists have fans

you kidding it's the only thing i've

seen make them happy

the weather report who'da thunk it

his wife died a few years back so he

quit his job

bought the bar and just hides in the

back all day

maybe some of that mistletoe's magical

rub off on him

well it's been a pretty good streak so

far

actually is anyone here

falling in love lately nah not that i

know of

look mr west please call me bobby bobby

thank you so much for letting me have

this back means a lot to my family

and you yeah means a lot to me as well

be sure we can't pay you back don't even

try bud i'll break your hand

not dry i get a couple autographs a few

dozen selfies that ought to do

well i'm glad that we could do something

for each other you're kidding me

the guys in my chat room are gonna lose

their minds when they hear about this

wait there are chat rooms for

meteorologist fans

yeah you get a problem with that

no sir no it's a very interesting

science

i will take your word for it no offense

harper but you can do better than the

shots

he's got his good points trust me

well you must have places to go cheer to

spread

and magic

it was a great christmas present made

again

this is beautiful

seeing as how it's christmas eve i'm

gonna let this one slide

thank you sir no problem

merry christmas merry christmas merry

christmas

[Music]

i can't believe we actually pulled this

up

out of all the people in the city to be

meteorologists fans yeah there's more

than you think

apparently maybe you were right

maybe christmas miracles do exist

maybe there's such a thing as a magic

mistletoe oh really

now you're a believer no

well maybe

you know what is strange though i was

talking to the bouncer

he said no one in the has fallen in love

there lately huh

so it was all just a coincidence i

really thought luke

i really want to thank you for the last

couple of days oh no

no really i do ever since running into

you at the thrift store it's just been

this

crazy adventure i love adventures

and i couldn't have done it without you

harper

i really want to i would say i'm sorry

just a second

[Music]

okay everything okay

um not exactly

brad he's not coming to my christmas

dinner

he actually broke up with me

on christmas eve over text

tis the season oh harper i'm so sorry

you know it's okay at least we got the

mistletoe

my sister's gonna be so happy

wait didn't you didn't you s say at the

that christmas tree stand that your

mistletoe was held together by green and

red wires

yeah and a red ribbon well this one uh

just has a black wire here

oh no harper uh it's the wrong mistletoe

look the fake christmas tree guy he must

have sold it to someone else look it's

not too far from here

and it's christmas eve maybe maybe it's

still open no

if we run there we can ask them if you

sold it to somebody else

right no luke it's over

okay it might not have even really

started anyways

what

this whole thing has just been a waste

of time

and you know you even had me convinced

for a moment that maybe

maybe there was such a thing as magic

don't say that you just told me how much

fun you were having yeah well the

adventure's over and

christmas got me again there's hope this

is close enough to pull my sister

no don't do that well that old plant

never had any magic and

neither does this one you know he's a

great guy

they're gonna have a great marriage

regardless of what mistletoe they kiss

under tonight we can just look a little

harder okay no

i'm done looking and i'm done

with whatever this was

i'm definitely done with christmas

harper you know me please luke i just

want to be alone

nobody wants to be alone at christmas

i do

[Music]

my harbor

no no no no on

come on

why don't anyone believe me when i say i

hate this holiday

so

i told you you better watch out or

you're going to end up on the naughty

list

not in the mood looks like you found

your mistletoe

yeah well no it's a mistletoe but

it's not the right one well that's too

bad

i was hoping you would find it a magic

mistletoe is a rare thing

why do we keep running into each other

it's a small city

no it's not actually well it's a small

world then

is this all just an elaborate joke

what do you mean never mind

wait is this just some weird christmas

present that my family has put together

to get me to fall in love with christmas

why would searching all over the city

for a missing mistletoe

make you fall in love with christmas

again

i don't know maybe

making me spend time with an amazing guy

who loves christmas

and maybe i'll see the holidays through

his eyes

you think your family has that kind of

power

i don't even have that kind of power

what's his name

luke and what did you look end up doing

together

we went to his aunt's house and she had

just fallen in love

and she was really happy to see her

nephew twice in one week

family is an important part of the

holidays what next

and then we saw you and miss claws made

us wait in line to get a photo with you

a photo with them all santa something

cherished by

parents and families for a lifetime and

then i had to get a present for al

shopping on christmas eve sorry kid

that must have been awful no it

wasn't actually

luke made it fun actually he made the

entire time fun

and then we saw your friend at the fake

christmas tree stand

my buddy buddy pretty neat concept huh

and then at the bar mr west was just

so happy to talk about weather isn't

that a great feeling

making people happy maybe fulfilling

somebody else's

christmas wish

you think maybe that's what luke was

doing

i just yelled at an amazing man who has

done nothing but dedicate the last two

days to

helping me find this seems like a nice

kid

although he did seem a little happy to

see me at the mall

i mean for a grown man and all yeah he

really does love christmas

maybe it's contagious

i have to go i have so much to do before

this night is over

me too oh i need a taxi i'll handle it

what how merry christmas harper

[Music]

merry christmas

where to miss robert

hey it's you did you and luke find the

magic mistletoe
