let's hear it again
for our wonderful band!

I am so thrilled to announce,
thanks to your generosity,

we have reached our goal for the
military families christmas fund

for another year!

as you all know...

Tyler, we have one more song.

Do you mind having teddy
step in for me please?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Thanks.

For those who sacrificed
so much.

what're you doing out there?

The storm's really picking up.

Since you're here...

Try this.

I've been working on it
all week.

I think I've finally had
a breakthrough.

Mmm.

It's really good.

It needs more nutmeg.

I liked it.

Well, I need you to love it.

Okay, I have a few more
gingerbread elves to prep

and then I should be ready to go
in about 15 minutes.

Okay.

Ah.

I didn't realize
how late it was.

My... My mom's been here
since 4:00am and I told her
I'd finish up.

I am so sorry, tyler.

Don't be.

Shouldn't you be with the band?

I promised you a dance.

Here?

Why not?

I'm covered in flour.

now we both are.

merry christmas, kat.

I wish this moment
could last forever.

Forever sounds
pretty good to me.

okay, will, only
two more blocks.

Only?

Do you need to take a break?

No way.

You got it?

Yes.

Awesome.

Okay.

Yeah, look at that.

What do you think?

It's crooked.

Yeah.

But maybe we could, like,
add ornaments to that side,

you know to...

Weigh it out.

Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

All right.

You wanna get more
from the closet?

Yep.

hi, mom.

Got your message.

We've just been so busy here.

Did I tell you we agreed
to cater the snowball?

No. Wow, do you have
enough staff for that?

Well, your sister's flying
in on Wednesday

and I was hoping I could
count on you

to throw on an apron
for old time's sake.

Mom, I decided that will and I

are gonna spend christmas here
in boston.

When did you decide that?

I've been considering it
for a while

and I got some time
off from the bank

and I made all these plans
for will and I this week.

Well, it won't be the same
without you both.

Well, maybe you could come up
here for new year's.

We have a guest bedroom
with your name on it.

Katherine, it's been two years
since tyler's funeral.

It's time to come home,
hun.

Next year.

I promise.

We're not going to grandma's?

Uh, well, you know sweetie,
I've thought about it

and I thought you and I could
have so much fun,

just the two of us here
in the city.

But we didn't go last year.

Right, but... I have so many
activities planned.

I mean, come on.

What?

Twenty-five reasons we're gonna
have the best christmas ever?

Can I just go back to my room?

You don't wanna help me
finish decorating the tree?

Uh, no thanks. I'm tired.

Well, we did carry a christmas
tree three blocks.

Four.

Right.

Yeah, of course you can.
I'll... I'll finish up.

Thanks.

hello?

Hi, mom.

Do you have room for two more?

I'm coming home.

oh, oh. That...

No, that... That's not...

I'm so sorry. I thought...

I should...

I should probably cut down on
the caffeine, anyway.

the 11:15
departure is now boarding at...

Okay, let's go.

I believe this is our seat.

Great.

You want the window or the-
answered that question.

Thank you. I really
appreciate that.

You're welcome.

Ah, if it isn't
my mystery patron.

No, don't. It's okay.

I should find my seat.

Right.

Excuse me.

Looks like this is me.

Did you draw that?

It's nothing, it's just
a quick sketch.

Don't sell yourself short.

That is really good.

Thanks.

Hey, welcome aboard our
holiday express, you guys.

Can I interest you in one of our
signature holiday cookies?

Yeah, we'll take two.
Thank you.

Make that three.

-Wait?
-What?

Oh, you don't have to do that.

Don't worry about it.
It's on you.

thank you.

That's for you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you so much.

That can't be right.

It is.

Are you sure?

I am sure, I promise.

Mom, jack doesn't believe me
that it's ten pipers piping.

Jack?

He thinks it's ten drummers
drumming.

Right.

It's ten lords a leaping.

Ah...

We're both wrong?

You know that, though. Right?

I have been singing that
in public for days.

you put the eight on the nine,
and then flip this one...

Mm-hmm.

Oh, and then
there's another-

-yeah.
-Yeah.

Thank you.

Flips.

You a musician?

Professionally, no.

I picked that thing up
a couple years ago.

I was going through
something a bit... Rough.

I had heard music was good
for the soul,

saw it in a store window,
haven't put it down since.

Did it help?

It did.

And I think my neighbours
really appreciate the fact

that I didn't pick the drum set.

that's true.

Okay.

Hmm.

So where are you headed?

Uh, we're going home
for christmas.

We're gonna spend time
with my family.

He's really excited about it.

Are you?

It's complicated.

But not so complicated that
I wanna pour my heart out

to a stranger on the train.

Why not?

Those are the best people
to pour your heart out to.

No baggage, no judgement,
you never have to see me again.

Ha.

I suppose that's true,
but I'll stick to solitaire.

Fair enough.

What about you?

Where are you headed?

Uh... Going to see
an old friend.

Uh, I just realized that
I don't know your name.

It's katherine.

But my friends call me kat.

Pleased to meet you, katherine.

Well, I just- I can't assume
we're friends

until after our second partners
solitaire game.

fair enough.

I'm so sorry.

You should have
woken me up.

I didn't mean to use you
as a pillow.

I'm sorry.

You looked peaceful.

Thank you.

And it gave me a chance
to steal your book.

It's a great edition.

Yeah. It was a gift.

You're welcome to read it.

Mom.

Hmm?

We have to leave.

What?

We have to leave.

Oh.

He already left.

Let's go.

Watch your step.

There they are!

Oh, haven't you grown!

Hi, dad.

Hello, kat.

Oh, honey.

Mom, hi.

Hi, mom.
How are you?

I'm well.

Where's jess?

She's minding the store.

Let me take something.

Oh, thanks, dad.

How was your trip?
Tell me all about it.

Alright. So, first we went
on the train...

Yes, very good trip.

Thanks for coming to get us.

You bet. I'm glad you came.

I really appreciate it.

Katherine, you've got
your old room.

Will, let me show you where
you're gonna be staying.

All right.

mom, where are
my gloves?

oh, I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Dad...

I'll take care of that.
Go get settled in.

Sandy.

Hi, beth.

How are you?

I'm good.

Are you still taking christmas
pre-orders?

Oh, I'm sorry.

We closed the list on Monday.

Shoot.

We're hosting this year and
paul's side of the family has

been dreaming of your christmas
croissants since thanksgiving.

How about a half dozen?

Oh. You're a saint.

Your mother's an absolute saint.

I know.

Thank you.

Bye bye.

Mom.

You're doing the snowball

and you're still taking
single orders?

Of course.

We're part of too many family
traditions, honey.

kat?

Hi.

I thought that was you.

I didn't know you were
in town.

Last minute decision.

How are you?

Getting better.

If you need anything,
anything at all,

you know I'm just a phone
call away.

Thank you.

What's all that?

Ah, I promised your mother
I would bring by the menu

and allergy lists
for the snowball.

I'm in charge this year.

We're going all out.

I even managed to get
the band back together.

I mean, it took some convincing
but I talked roger into it.

So it's just you and roger?

Wouldn't be much of a trio.

Right.

Of course.

Thankfully I was able to find
a replacement,

although no one could ever
replace tyler.

So is teddy filling in?

No, he was deployed
over the summer.

He won't be back
until the new year.

I'm sorry.

Yeah.

Helps to stay busy.

Do you have
any plans tonight?

No.

You do now.

Everyone's home for the holiday,

we're all going to danson's
at 8:00, you should come.

Oh, I um... Hi!

And just in time.

This yule log is starting
to look like a yule stump.

Hi! Hi.

I missed you so much.

I missed you, too.

I'm glad mom finally got you
to come home for christmas.

What changed your mind?

Will.

How is he?

Doing well.

I mean, he doesn't really
open up to me anymore.

I feel like I'm always walking
on eggshells around him.

It's gonna take some time.

Christmas is hard 'cause tyler
always made it so special

for him, you know.

I know.

Well, we're all here to help.

You don't have to do it alone.

I know provincetown holds
a lot of memories for you

but I think it could
be good for him.

It could be good for you, too.

How was the train ride?

Long.

We hung a stocking for you.

I appreciate it.

Unless you're gonna fill it
with coal.

I should.

Serves you right for spending
christmas in another time zone.

Well, I promise I'll make
it back for new year's.

It's not gonna be the same
and you know it.

We're gonna miss you,
jay.

I'm gonna miss you, too, but
this is something I need to do.

I know it is, but if you
don't find hi-

I'm going to.

I put it off for too long, nora.
I can't wait any longer.

Well, I'll expect updates.

You'll get them.

You made it!

Yeah, of course.

Kat, I'd like you to meet...

Jack.

You know each other?

-No.
-Yes.

I mean, we met on the train.

Jack is the guitarist I was
telling you about.

He's the one filling in
with the band.

Small world.

So how long have you
two known each other?

A couple hours.

Give or take.

What?

I posted a message on the va's
online community board

looking for a guitarist.

Jack answered.

He works for the uso.

You know, I'm gonna go check
on our food.

Of all the gin joints in all the
towns in all the world she has-

stop it. Provincetown
is hardly casablanca.

And technically speaking,
you walked into mine.

Right.

So, uso?

I enlisted right out
of high school,

but then got injured a few years
back so it was another way

to serve my country,
just different.

You were in the service.

Army.

Two tours.

You look surprised.

How is your friend?

Didn't you say you were meeting
someone in town?

Right.

No, I haven't seen him yet.

Why not?

There she is.

Roger! Wow.

Kat.

Oh! Look at you.

I hardly recognized you.

Good to see you!

Nice.

You know, the regulation.

Uh, jack, this is roger.

Roger, jack.

Hey.

You must be the guitarist.

Yes.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

Roger is the drummer
in the band.

And he's provincetown's finest.

I wanna hear all
about boston.

Do you need a ride?

No, I'm staying at an inn here
off the main road,

uh, bleaker I think?

Oh yeah.

It's just down the stop sign
and you make a right.

Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Something on your mind?

I just wonder what would make
someone want to spend christmas

with strangers.

It's the season of giving, kat.

Maybe he just doesn't have
anywhere else to go.

Hey.

So I have a favour to ask.

Maggie put me on the decorating
committee for the dance

and I thought maybe you could
help me.

My help?

Well, I don't have
your artistic eye.

Besides, I thought it'd be fun.

I thought it was something
we could do together.

It'll be fun.

I promise.

I knew I could count on you.

This speaker should go
to the left of the stage.

Hey, maggie.

Hey, kat, will, so happy
you're here!

Oh yeah, we are ready
to work.

Follow me.

These will be our stage
decorations.

Most have already been cut
they just need a coat of paint.

Uh, the brushes
are right here.

There are smocks if you need
them and extra tarps over there.

So I'll leave you to it.

-Great.
-Yeah.

Just let me know if you need
anything else.

There's only green and white.

Yeah, right.

When I asked you to help
with this I kinda thought

it was gonna require a little
more creativity but don't worry.

Don't panic.

I have an idea. I can fix this.

I know where the supply
closet is.

I bet they have tons more
colours back there.

All right.

Stay right there.

I'll fix this.

All right.

Hi, jack.

Hi.

Uh, are these service men
and women from town?

Yeah.

You have a lot of them.

Well, there's a base about
20 minutes away.

A lot of generations of military
families have set root here.

But that's not all of them,
right?

I mean, if every person who
earned a patch on their arm

was up here on this wall we
would need a much bigger wall.

That's my dad.

Wow.

Are you looking for someone?

No, just...
Caught my eye.

Okay.

I better get back to work.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, does the library still do
the snowman contest?

I think so.

I'm not sure.

I think it was last week.

Hey, I saw that.

You're gonna ruin your dinner.

mmm.

If you're looking
for something to do,

the rink has holiday open skate
every afternoon

until christmas eve.

Oh, that's awesome.

I found the second box
of lights.

I'm gonna put them up.

I thought you were done
with the roof.

Well, now I have enough
for the garage.

Hey!

For the road.

You know, this is half a page.

This is plenty of fun stuff
for will and I to do.

I'm gonna go ask him.

He's not in his room.

Where is he?

Hey, will!

Think you need these?

Whatcha working on?

A fort.

We always build one
after first snow.

You need some help?

Uh, no. I can do it.

Okay. Well, don't take too long
'cause dinner's almost ready.

I won't.

I always forget that one.

it's a new song.
We'll get there.

Uh, you know, I'm
gonna go get the lyrics.

I'll be right back.

So maggie said your band used
to always play this show?

Tyler's idea.

He found out they were paying
a band to perform,

thought that money should be
put right back into the charity.

Sounds like he was a good guy.

Tyler... He was the best.

Maggie said he passed.

Car accident.

Kat was at home with will
when it happened.

It absolutely devastated her.

Katherine?

Well, he was her husband.

They didn't tell you?

I got it.

Okay, let's try again.

We're good? Yeah?

nana is going to be so excited
to see you!

And bring a hat in case
you wanna play outside.

Hello, hello!

Oh, hi!

Oh, it's so nice to see
you both.

-Merry christmas.
-Merry christmas.

Merry christmas, honey.

Brought you gingerbread cookies.

He insisted.

Well, mom was gonna bring
fruitcake instead.

Oh, come on in.

I've got some tea on.

Oh, nice.

Oh, careful.

I suppose I should get
a new stocking for will.

He's growing up so fast.

Yeah, I keep telling him to
stop it but he doesn't listen.

No, they never do.

It's just so nice to see him
smiling again.

It's the highlight of my days.

So I heard that you're gonna
be working at the bakery

while you're here.

Oh, yeah.

I'm happy to help out,
wherever they need.

They're certainly lucky
to have you.

You've got such a gift.

Tyler used to say that his
favourite place to be

was the bakery.

Well, that's because he would
steal cookie dough

when I wasn't looking.

Yes, and you were always
full of pure joy.

Still our best-sellers,

though I never could get them
quite as good as yours.

You're gonna have to tell me
your secret

at some point, honey.

I'm not sure I even remember.

It's been a long time.

Well, it's kinda like riding
a bicycle.

I haven't done that in a long
time, either.

well, I'm sure once
you get started

it'll all come rushing back.

So the first day the ice
froze your dad,

he'd be on that pond.

He loved it.

Yeah, and your mom would be
right beside him

with a big thermos of hot
chocolate just waiting for him.

Why, she can- she can tell you
some stories.

She doesn't really like talking
about him.

Well, sometimes very
happy memories

can be sad, too.

right?

Would you like to hear
another story?

Yeah.

Okay.

So one christmas morning,
your dad,

it was really early in the
morning came down those stairs

and wanted to have
a sneak peek...

I told maggie that I would go
with her to mckinley's

to pick out some trees.

Well, give her my love.

I will.

Where's maggie?

She got held up at the hall.

So she sent you?

I volunteered.

And I'm the only one
who can drive stick.

good enough for me.

All right.

Did maggie say how many
she wanted?

No. Whatever will fit
in the truck.

Sounds good to me.

Christmas at the barn?

Oh, they do it every year.

They put up a tarp and they
project old christmas movies.

They're playing
"beyond tomorrow"?

Oh, really? Hey do you
want some hot-

my grandmother's
favourite.

Are you two close?

She raised me.

Both my parents passed
when I was young and...

And I always miss them
but my grandmother knew

around christmas time I always
missed them a little more

so she'd take us out of town to
this old rialto, here you go,

and watch all the classics.

Thank you.

Hey...

Did it help?

I think it always helps to fill
sad memories with happier ones.

You okay?

My husband passed away
two years ago.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

He was a music teacher
on his way to a recital

and the other driver ran
the stop sign.

I just worry about will,
you know?

I worry that...

That I'm not doing enough
to help him get through this.

I know I haven't known
you two for very long...

But?

But have you ever considered

that maybe he's worrying
the same thing about you?

Oh, timber!

Got it? Okay. Hang on.

Okay, wait, I'll get this end.
Ready, one, two, three.

Uh, yeah. Right over
here by this table.

-Yep.
-Here?

Just right here. Thank you.

Yep.

Good job. Thank you.

don't step on me.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hey, will. How's it going?

Hi.

Will is putting his old grandpa
to shame.

Look at that.

Looking good, man.

Oh, dad, I want you
to meet jack.

He's helping out
with the band.

Um, jack, this is my dad,
john winter.

Pleasure to meet you,
sir.

Likewise.

So are you almost done?

Mom wants us back in time
to help with the close.

Uh, 4:30.

All right.

Hey, you wanna get washed up?

That is a real nice watch.

Oh, thanks.

It was made special for
the provincetown bicentennial.

They gave it to all
the volunteers that year.

There's only 30 of those
in existence.

Wow, it's-

mom, can I get a get
a gingerbread cookie

when we get there?

Really nice.

It's almost time for dinner.

Grandpa said I could.

Uh, just a small one.

Well, we'll talk about it.

We'll get going.

See you at home?

-Yeah.
-All right.

-Bye, jack.
-Bye.

I'll be right along.

Good to meet you.

Likewise.

hello, hello.

Hi.

I was hoping you could
help me.

Of course.

Do you know where I could
find copies of the local paper?

Absolutely. We have the last
50 years archived.

Follow me.

It's right this way.

Maybe try one of these ones?

Oh, that should be great.
Thank you.

Perfect.

bad day?

I just have to stretch
them out a bit.

I'll be fine.

Aww.

I'd give you these
old hands if I could.

I know you would.

It's time, sweetheart.

You can't put it off forever.

I know.

But... I'm gonna be sad
to see it go, you know?

I know. All good things come
to an end.

but not today.

Okay.

Mmm.

well, that's all I can recall
off the top of my head.

This is great.

Yeah, I can try and dig up
the paperwork

but it's been a long time.

Bicentennial was
nearly 20 years ago.

I really appreciate it.

Are any of these
men still in town?

Most of them.

Thank you for your help.

Why do you need these?

Hey! Will, you look great!

It's a christmas gift.

Oh.

Jack!

Are you here to skate?

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, no, I was... I was
just meeting someone.

Well, you should.

No, uh, you shouldn't feel like
you have to say yes

just because he... Asked.

I got time.

oh, he's a natural.

He doesn't get it from me.

Okay, well, let's see. Size six?

I took a guess.

I don't skate.

Mm-hmm. It's a good thing
I'm a good teacher.

Come on.

What? No. I-

come on.

I don't think this is
a good idea.

That's great.

I think I'm getting
the hang of it.

I think so, too.

Nice.

-Woah.
-Woah!

I'm not- I'm not
laughing at you.

You're not laughing with me.

It's just you are- you're
so well put together

that it's nice to find a flaw.

Oh, well I'm happy to help.

Yeah.

Oh, are you okay?

Yeah.

No, it's just-

what? What is it?

It's an old injury.

Are you in pain?

No.

You are squeezing my arm
kinda tight.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I...

you okay?

-Yeah.
-Yeah?

I'm okay.

Wait, I'm sorry.

Maybe I should just...

No. Let's keep going.
I have another idea.

Okay. Try this.

Ready?

Yeah.

All you have to do is nothing.

that's perfect.

Okay?

Will, look! I'm skating!

Sort of.

He's skating.

He's pulling me.

let's get that kid!

Get him! Get him! Get him!

yeah!

Thank you.

Oh, I got it.

No. We asked you.

Exactly.

And this is my thank you.

Thank you very much.

Mike's not here right now.

Do you have a number
where I could reach him?

I'm not supposed
to give that out

but if you leave your
information I can let him know.

Okay.

Is there anything else I can
help you with today?

Uh...

Actually, maybe there is.

What do you think of this?

It's not exactly my style.

For teddy.

Oh, have you talked
to him lately?

Last night.

He's really excited
about the band.

I told him I'd send him a video
of the performance.

That's a good idea.

How's it going? How
is, uh, jack doing?

He's great. He's very talented.

Is he bringing someone
to the show?

No.

And he'd have to go through me
for tickets. Why?

No reason.

I think he's single, if that's
what you're asking.

Well, I'm not asking, and
I don't think that he is.

I saw a photo of a woman
in his wallet.

Okay.

I just think it's strange.

If he has someone special
to him

what's he doing spending
christmas here?

With us?

Hey!

What's all this?

Oh...

I'm almost finished.

Do you like it?

You did this?

Uh-huh.

Why?

For will.

Me?

Yeah.

We have been wasting our talents
on these cut-out trees.

I thought you could paint
a mural for the dance.

Of what?

Anything you want.

I already ran it by maggie,
she thinks it's a great idea.

So get to work.

hey, um, thank you so much
for doing this.

It was nothing.

No, it's not.

Good news?

It's my sister.

My nephew found her christmas
wrapping stash.

Wait, but... That's
your sister?

Mm-hmm.

She's hosting christmas for
the first time in her new home.

She's very excited.

Grandma's flying in
from texas

and she's keeping me up to date
with all these little moments.

Mom, can jack come over
for dinner?

Do you like lasagna?

So you met jack
through maggie?

-He's playing with the band.
-Oh.

That's not what I heard.

Will told me you guys met
on the train over here.

Really?

We were sitting
next to each other.

Oh.

It's kind of funny.

It's almost like,
I don't know,

fate keeps bringing
the two of you together.

It's not fate, okay?

It's not.

It's just- it's just
a coincidence.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah, we need some
reinforcements here for sure.

Reinforcements, yeah.

And then this right over here...
Oh!

I am very sorry.

That slipped.

Yeah.

Sorry, it slipped.

ouch, ouch!

Oh! Oh!

there's your mom.

Fifteen more minutes.
We're almost done.

That should be fine.

If you wanna help it might
only take ten minutes.

Is your mom any good
with a shovel?

You can use mine.

Sure.

But the snowball fighting
is over, right?

-I mean...
-Oh, yeah.

We're all safe?

Truce?

For now.

For sure.

Woah!

I didn't do anything to you!

All right.

Ready?

Mm-hmm.

whew!

Wow. Nice.

Look what I found.

Remember these from
when you were a kid?

I do remember these.
You brought the fireworks.

One for you...

Will's favourite lasagne.

Can I have two?

Yes, of course.

-If you don't mind sharing.
-Sure.

Thank you.

Cheers.

Well, cheers everyone.

Of course. Cheers, dad.

Oh yeah, cheers.

All right, who would like
mchenry's hot cocoa?

Oh! Yes!

Well, let's grab our coats.

That's the best.
Who doesn't?

Jack?

Sure, I'd love to.

I'll get your coat.

Hello?

Hi, is this jack sutherland?

Yes.

This is mike conlin
from conlin hardware.

Oh. Uh, thank you.

Thanks for calling me back.

You um, you volunteered at
the provincetown bicentennial?

I did, yeah. Years ago.

Uh, are you around this week?

There's something I would
like to talk to you about.

Well, I'm closing up in twenty.

If you can make it before
that I'd be happy to chat.

Any way we can do it tomorrow?

I'm spending christmas upstate.

Heading out tonight.

Mr. Sutherland?

Yes, I will be there in five
minutes. Thanks.

Okay.

Here's your stuff.

Thanks.

Ready?

Thank you for dinner but I-
I have to go.

Something just came up.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, just bad timing.

Oh.

Mr. Conlin.

Mr. Sutherland.

Just made it.

Sorry, I took a wrong turn.

I'm not from around here.

You got a question for me?

whatcha watching?

Nothing.

Where'd you find that?

Nana had a whole box of them.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

You know, you don't ever
have to hide

what you're feeling from me.

It's okay to miss him.
I miss him, too.

You know, your dad loved making
the set list for the dance.

He would sit with me
in the bakery

and play dozens
of christmas albums

while I was making cookies.

After my shift I would be
humming those songs for hours.

Christmas was his favourite
day of the year.

Until the day you were born.

And then he had
two favourites.

Sometimes it hurts to remember
the past,

but those memories are gifts.

The years of laughter
and love and joy...

You know your dad is always
with us.

He's right here.

We're in this together, okay?

Okay.

Now press play.

sounds beautiful. I didn't
mean to interrupt.

Sorry.

Ah, it's hard to learn a whole
set list in a week

so I'm just sneaking
in an extra practise.

What is that?

It's like a... Closest thing

I could get to a
chocolate croissant.

What, do you want half?

Absolutely not.

Normally I don't really have
much of a sweet tooth

but my grandma used to make

chocolate croissants
at christmas

so it reminds me of home,
so I tried to-

oh, I cannot let you eat this.

I know it's not, like,
the healthiest thing that...

Bring the guitar. Let's go.

Yeah, yeah, come on, jack.
Let's go.

Uh, it's closed.

Don't worry.

I happen to know the owners.

So we're gonna make croissants?

Not just any croissants.

We are making the winter family
christmas croissant.

What makes them christmas?

That is a family secret.

Oh, right.

Peppermint?

Okay, well it's not exactly
a well-guarded secret.

You're good at this.

I grew up coming here.

I used to dream that
I'd own it someday.

So what happened?

Tyler got a job in boston.

It just wasn't meant to be.

You obviously love it.

I do.

But I loved him more.

Okay, so just to show you
how here.

You start with a triangle.

Okay.

Right.

You just want it to roll...

Okay.

Like that.

And then you pinch the ends.

Got it.

How's this?

Um...

No?

It's- no, it's good-
it's good for your first try.

I mean...

Thank you. Thank you
for sparing my feelings.

No, really.

Get that on there.

Perfect.

Let's just try
one more time.

Thank you.

Okay, so yeah, you do that.

No, softer. Yeah.

And you just roll
straight...

Right, you're doing great.

So why are you here?

Am I making that much
of a mess already?

That's not what I meant.

You have a sister,
you have family...

Why aren't you spending
the holidays with them?

I told you.

I'm meeting a friend.

You believe in fate?

I don't know.

When I was growing up
my grandmother

would always tell my sister
nora and I

what is meant to be will always
find a way.

But it makes it sound like you
don't have a choice.

No, I think it's like our
choices mean something.

Nothing is random.

Someone gave me a gift
a long time ago.

Mm-hmm?

A second chance.

At what?

Life.

Your injury.

And I want to repay it.

moment of truth.

Wow.

Okay.

Oh, careful.

It's hot.

Well?

Honestly?

Best I've ever had.

Just don't tell my grandmother
I said that.

I would never.

Oh, my.

Thank you for ruining croissants
for me forever.

Any time.

You... You were made
for this.

I mean it.

Maybe.

Once upon a time.

Thank you.

I like to think we're given
second chances

for a reason.

Hmm.

Mistletoe?

I have no idea what
that's doing there.

Yeah.

I thought you were volunteering
at the function hall today.

I am.

I just wanted to try something.

I haven't seen this in a while.

Yeah, I found it.

I'd say you found
more than just that.

hey.

Hi.

Um, I thought about
what you said last night

and uh, you're right.

Old dreams don't have
to just stay in the past.

You made these?

Mm. Yeah.

And, well, I wanted you to
be the first one to try them.

Well...

I haven't seen him this happy
in a long time.

Do you have plans tonight?

The secret's out,

maggie found out I'm
into old christmas movies

so she gave me two tickets
to the show at the farm.

Would you like to go?

He asked you to the movies!

He likes the movies.

Okay. He likes you.

I'm not ready to be
in a relationship, jess.

You know it'd be
okay if you were.

Who's mom talking to?

Oh, I... I can't remember
their names

but dad says they've been
in almost every other week.

They must really like
the fruitcake.

They wanna buy the bakery.

The bakery has been in our
family for five generations.

It's part of so many traditions
in this town,

you said so yourself.

I did?

Jess said they wanna turn it
into a gastropub?

Well, it's a very attractive
location

right in the heart of town.

I've had several offers
over the years.

So now it's on the table?

Believe me, katherine,

I'd rather not have to part
with the bakery, it's just...

I don't have a choice
at this point.

Mom, is this... Is this
a money issue?

No, nothing like that.

But the hours are long
and it's... It's very
physical work.

And I'm afraid I'm just
not up to it anymore.

Since you're back here why don't
you go ice those cookies?

Did you give them an answer?

Not yet.

You know, I always
thought you'd-

you'd take over for me
when the time came.

If I recall, for a while there
that was the plan.

Well, things don't always work
out the way we plan.

Well, they still could.

I can't work here.

Why not?

Well, first of all,
the commute.

You could move back.

And what? Quit my job?

When you first applied
at the bank

it was supposed to be
temporary, remember?

Maybe it's not my dream job,
but it's reliable.

You know, the sandersons have
their home for sale on oak...

Okay, mom, listen.

This just isn't
my home anymore.

Oh, my dear girl.

This will always be
your home.

Oh, thank you so much.

Thank you.

All right, this is your movie.
Where do you wanna sit?

Oh, no, really.

Up to you.

I normally sit on the left.

Okay, let's do it.

Okay. Mm-hmm. Sounds good.

You have a normal seat
in movie theatres?

Absolutely.

-Good to know.
-Mm-hmm.

That's a really...

I'm sorry.

No, go ahead.

Thank you.

This is my favourite part.

Merry christmas!

Merry christmas!

Merry christmas,
everybody!...

...Come on, enjoy the drive.

it was good, right?

Really good, yes.

A classic.

I... I loved it.

Um, you can turn that back
in there if you want.

Okay.

I'll just be a second,
okay?

Thank you.

What is this?

Oh, um, it's a list of all
the service members

that are gonna be away
at christmas.

They have these booths
all over town,

you can write 'em a note,
send it to 'em.

Where's maggie's husband?

He's right there.

I thought teddy was short
for theodore.

Nope. It's edward.

It's a family name.

What does he do?

He's a medic.

Here.

What's this?

It's a pin.

Oh.

Of provincetown.

So you can remember us.

Somehow I think I'll have
a hard time forgetting.

Hi.

Will's asleep?

Um...

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Room for one more?

Why no roof?

Dad always left it open.

He could watch out
for shooting stars.

You never told me that.

Have you found any?

What'd you wish for?

I can't tell you.
It won't come true.

You know, jack's really nice.

Yeah, he is.

Are you having a good christmas?

Yeah, I am.

I'm glad.

Hey, pal.

Hey.

You getting an early start?

-Yup.
-Oh yeah.

He could hardly wait for me
to finish breakfast.

We're almost done.

Do you wanna help?

Oh, I would but I have practise.

They didn't tell you?

Tell me what?

I don't think you're gonna
be having practise today.

Why not?

Teddy's back in town.

Come on, let's go.

oh, jack, hi.

Yup.

Keep coming.

okay, a little bit further.

Don't peek.

And...

Stop it, I wanna look!

Stop, stop!

Okay.

Are you good?
Are we good?

Are we almost ready
for this?

Will, can I get a drumroll,
please?

and you can look.

will, it's perfect.

Really?

Oh, it's so wonderful,
sweetheart.

It looks amazing.

Okay, can we come
out now?

Yes. Yes, you have
to come see!

Ta-dah!

Isn't it good?

Oh.

Oh, honey.

What did your mom think?

She liked it.

You?

It's amazing.

Oh, look at the church!

I know, that's
my favourite part.

Do you see the airplane
hangar?

So, jack, are you joining
us tonight?

Tonight?

It's our family christmas party.

Oh, I wouldn't want to intrude
on a family event.

Oh, lots of people come.

I mean, maggie and teddy
will be there,

you can finally meet him.

Okay.

Six o'clock.

I will be there.

Evening, jane.

Oh, officer barnes.

What can I get ya?

You still selling those bottles
of millie's spiced cider?

Through the new year.

Two please.

Coming right up.

Jack.

Roger.

Just picking up some cider
for the party.

Oh, right, I hadn't even thought
about that.

I should probably order some
christmas cookies or something?

They own a bakery, pal.

Right.

What you got there?

It's a...

A watch.

It belongs to the man
who saved my life.

Hi.

Has mom told you yet?

Told me what?

That's a "no".

That couple made mom
an official offer today

and she accepted.

I know. End of an era.

Oh, dad wanted me
to give you this.

What...

Open it.

He fixed it for you.

hi.

Hi.

-Merry christmas.
-Merry christmas.

Merry christmas.

Hello, jess. Merry christmas.

I'll take that.

Thank you.

Yeah, here- yeah.

A little warm in here.

I'm really glad you came.

Me too.

you should ask him
to the dance.

He's already going to be
at the dance.

So? Maybe he'd like
to be there with you.

Hit it.

Too slow! Missed.

Jack, this is my husband,
teddy.

Hi.

It's really nice to meet you.

I've heard a lot of
good things.

Same.

There's mrs. Conroy.
I have to talk shop.

Can you excuse me?

So, you all ready
for tomorrow?

I hope so.

It's really good of you to come
all this way to lend a hand.

You know, that's not the only
reason that I- that I came.

I uh... Actually...

Uh...

Who is that?

That's tyler.
Katherine's husband.

Can I have everyone's attention?

I just got the preliminary
numbers-

have you seen jack?

For this year's snowball.

No.

We've broken all previous
ticket records.

Hey, there you are.

So I have a question.

Is something wrong?

Do you recognize this?

Yeah.

It's a bicentennial watch.

Read the back, kat.

Did this belong
to your husband?

Yeah.

Yeah, he lost it
a long time ago.

How... How do you have this?

I read the volunteer list,
he wasn't there.

But I only asked beth for
the names of the men I...

I never considered
maybe it was a gift.

You volunteered at
the bicentennial, didn't you?

Yeah.

Yeah, and I had it engraved
for him before he was deployed.

He used to always say that
he was counting the hours

until we were together again.

He wore it all the time.

Every time we were apart.

You said he was
a music teacher.

Yeah, yeah.

That's what he did when he got
out of the service.

I still don't understand
how you... How you have this.

I was stationed overseas.

Got into a... A bit of
a rough spot.

I don't remember much except
the medic pulling me out.

He was gone before I could
even thank him.

I didn't even get a name,
but he dropped that.

I always meant to get it
back to him.

I don't... I don't know why
I took so long.

But...

When I saw the announcement
about the band

I thought it was a sign.

I... I thought it was
the perfect time for me

to finally make
the trip and find him.

I just can't believe this.

I know.

Kat?

Yeah.

Sorry, um... Dad's about
to start his christmas toast.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Katherine...

I... I should go. I...

Thought I might find you here.

Am I so predictable?

Well, a mother knows.

It just seems so unfair.

Why is he gone
and I'm still here?

To live, honey.

I see him everywhere.

I go to a place that tyler
and I went to a thousand times

and immediately it's like
I'm right back there with him.

Like he never left.

You share a lot of memories.

You tried so hard to put on
a brave face for will

but pushing tyler away
isn't gonna make you heal.

You're gonna have to find
some peace, hun.

And part of that
is moving on.

You know, I... I finally let
myself feel that way again

for a second.

Jack isn't here because
of the band.

Here's here because
of tyler.

I don't understand.

When tyler was serving...
He saved jack's life.

Jack didn't know that it was
tyler until today.

Oh my...

Well, it's pretty remarkable how
your lives have intertwined.

Sounds to me like
a christmas miracle.

Oh, honey.

I'm sorry, jack.

For years I meant to thank him,
I just always built it up

and it became so big.

I always found a reason
not to do it and...

Now I've waited
too long.

What're you gonna do now?

Nervous?

A little.

You're gonna be a hit.

What's that?

It's an early christmas gift.

Can I open it?

Go ahead.

It belonged to your dad.

He wore it every time he had
to go away.

He um, said that whenever
he missed us

he could look at it
and it would make him feel

like we were right there
with him.

I want you to have it.

Me?

He would want you
to have it, too.

I don't remember this.

Yeah, he uh, he lost it
for a little while.

After he saved
a man's life.

He did?

He did.

Here.

I think we should just tuck it
right here inside your pocket,

right next to your heart.

Mom, you're crying.

They're just happy tears.

It'll be okay.

I promise.

Oh, don't you two
look gorgeous?

Go get your coat.

We have to head out early but-

very handsome.

Mom, I need to talk
to you.

What is it, honey?

I don't want you
to sell the bakery.

Oh-

katherine, we've
been through this already.

I just don't have a choice.

Yes you do.

You can let me help you.

I thought you didn't want
to come back.

You're right.

I was hiding from
a place I love,

from people I love,
because I was hurt.

Because I missed
my husband.

But provincetown
isn't just a place.

It was our life together.

It was a happy life together
and I'm tired of hiding from it.

If that's what you want.

It is.

You were right.

I just wanna come home.

And you know,

I've been thinking of some new
ideas for those pecan sandies.

I'm sure you have.

hi.

Hi.

Oh, you look beautiful.

Thank you.

Oooh, that dress is amazing.

I'll have to borrow it one day.

How are mom and dad?

We're going to slow things down
so grab that special someone

and lead them to
the dance floor.

I have to go.

I asked teddy to sit in
for a song.

Why?

So that maybe I could
convince you to dance.

so what do you say?

I tried calling you.

I know.

I uh... I just needed time.

you asked me if
I believe in fate.

I still don't know
the answer to that,

but I do believe that people
come into your life

for a reason.

Like tyler did for me.

Yeah.

and like you did for me.

I don't know if it's coincidence
or if it's a christmas miracle

that brought you into my life

but I am so happy
that you are here.

merry christmas.
