- Go, go, go, go!

Quick! Quick!

Oh, oh, the scarf! Scarf!

- Yeah, good idea.
- Okay.

- Excuse me.

The only way we're gonna
win this is if we standout.

- Okay.

- Yes.

- Let's see.

- I don't know.
It still needs something.

- Look, look.

Mind if I borrow your hat?
I'll give it right back.

- Yeah, sure. Go for it.

- Thanks.

- That's very good.

- Yeah!

Look at this.

- First place.
Not too shabby.

- We make a good team.

- So--
- Uh, oh no, you go.

- Where to next?

- Uh, how about
the Ferris wheel?

- Really?

There might
be a long line.

- Looks pretty short.

But if you don't want
to, we don't have to.

I think I saw a reindeer
ring toss somewhere.

- No, I would love to go on
the Ferris wheel with you.

- Okay.

- Mom, the snowman
competition winners.

- Hey, thanks for
your help today.

- Our snowman wouldn't
be complete without you.

- Are you coming to the
Christmas tree lighting tonight?

- I, for one, am a huge fan
of Christmas tree lightings.

- But you have to
bring an ornament.

- The whole town
decorates together.

And legend has it,
that if you make a wish

right when the tree lights
up, it will come true.

- Last year, I wished for an
astronaut Barbie and I got her.

- Okay, ladies. I'm sold.

- Cool. See you guys tonight.

- Bye.

- Hi.

Are you sure you're
okay to do this?

We could probably
still get off.

- No. This is great.

I just have a small
fear of heights.

- Ah!
- It's okay.

- Okay, just don't look down.

- I won't look down.

- Yeah, this is great.

- See? Not that bad.

- I can definitely think of
worse ways to spend an evening.

So about tonight,

would you do me the
honor of being my date?

- I'd love to.

Oh, do you have the time?

Actually, my mom is probably
wondering where I am.

- Almost six.

- Wow, I love
that pocket watch.

- Thanks.
Belonged to my gramps.

Some people might say
it's out of style,

but I think timeless
things are cool.

- Then you'll love tonight.

The tree at
Snowfall Lodge

is the last to light
up before Christmas.

- Then we're on for tonight?

- Yeah, but I think you're
forgetting something.

- What's that?

- We still don't know each
other's names.

- I suppose
you're technically right,

but we've only known
each other for six hours.

I don't usually get my name
out till at least the seventh.

- Oh, well,
that's great

because I usually
don't give mine out

until at
least the eighth.

And I mean, I know it's
the '90s, but I'm old school.

- I obviously
like old school.

I look forward to officially
meeting you tonight.

- Well, then,
I'll see you at seven.

- I'll be there
waiting for you,

ornament in hand.

- Our florist lost
our bouquets order,

and now they can't get
white peonies in time.

And our wedding's
tomorrow morning.

- I'm so sorry.
Just give me a moment.

- Not only do I
not have a bouquet,

I have no idea what we
should do about my niece.

- I think I need your help.

- Eloise is the cutest
flower girl imaginable.

- But she also refuses
to walk down the aisle.

I don't know. Maybe I'll just
go flowerless for our wedding.

- What kind of wedding would
it be with her flowers?

- This is Joan, our
resident problem-solver

at Paige's flowers.

- My son is also getting
married this week.

- That's great. Congrats.

- Aw, thanks.
Congratulations to you two.

Now, I know white
peonies are beautiful,

but they aren't really the
best for a Christmas bouquet,

but I've got
a different idea.

So how about we do
red and white roses?

We can arrange
them with other things

to really bring
out the season.

It is almost
Christmas after all.

Um...

And a few skimmia
winter berries.

What do you think?

- Wow. I love it!

Even more than my
original vision.

- Oh, I'm so glad.

- Seriously,
you're a miracle worker.

- Your son's lucky
to have your help.

Where is he
getting married?

- Oh, actually,
at the Snowfall Lodge.

We're having like a friends
and family, small wedding.

- Up on the mountain?
It's beautiful there.

- Yeah, my husband
and I met there.

- What a gift
for the two of you

to see your son
get married there.

- Yeah, it will be.

Um, I'm gonna finish
arranging in this

and then I can
ring you up.

- That'd be great.

- Allow me.

Oh, what a festive arrangement.

Beautiful work, Joan.

- Thanks, Paige.

- Joan literally just
saved our wedding.

- That's why we love her.

- Thanks again.

- Sure. Oh, and use a
stuffed animal for tomorrow.

For your niece.

If she's having trouble
going down the aisle,

have one of her parents hold
her favorite stuffed animal

at the altar and you'll
be sure to get her there.

- I love it.

- Merry Christmas.
- You too.

- These'll be ready
this afternoon.

- I don't know how
you do it, girl.

- Hmm! That's very sweet.

- It's about time
you have another look

at starting
your own company.

- That was
a long time ago.

When Morgan passed away,

I just knew it would
take too much time.

It wouldn't be
fair to Liam.

- Joan, I don't know how
we're gonna get through

the Christmas
rush without you.

- You're gonna do just fine.

- Do you need anything
before you head out?

- No, I'm all set.

Thank you so much for
loaning me the van,

it's filled to the brim.

- Well, it's not
Santa's sleigh,

but it's amazing how much
you can fit in that thing.

- Okay. Duty calls.
- Okay.

Hey, how's it going?

How am I ever gonna
leave this place?

- Nothing would
make her happier

than to see you branch
out on your own.

- Well, now's not
the time Vanessa.

Speaking of which
I better get going.

Gotta miss that traffic.

Gotta avoid that
Christmas shoppers rush.

- Last call to
hang ornaments!

Get ready to
make those wishes.

The lighting
is about to begin.

- Um, excuse me.

- Oh, sorry.
I didn't see you there.

Guess I was taken in
by this beautiful tree.

- Okay. But um,
could you move?

I'm trying to get a shot
of that beautiful tree.

- Oh, of course.

You know,
it is Christmas.

The season of
good cheer and love

and being polite to
strangers, admiring trees.

- Okay. I'm sorry.

Let me start over with that.

Excuse me, madam,
could you please move

so I can get a shot of
this beautiful tree?

- Better but not great.

By the way,
your lens cap is on.

- Yeah. I knew that.

Lens cap is still on.

- Mom.

- Hi.
- Perfect timing. How are you?

- Yeah. Good.

How are you?

- Good, good.
- Good.

- There you go.

- Ooh, hot chocolate
upon arrival.

- No marshmallows.
Just how you like it.

- You're so sweet.

Where's Katie?

- Um, I think she's looking
for our wedding coordinator.

Anyway, we're all set up,
beautiful suite upstairs,

and got you the room
with the best view.

- Wow. What service.

- Yeah.
- Hmm.

Ahh!

Okay, you gave me
the good news.

What aren't
you telling me?

- What do you mean?

- I know my son
and I know when

you're nervous
to tell me something.

What did I always
tell you growing up?

- Moms can read minds.

- Exactly.

- It's nothing,
it's just I um-

I haven't made
my job decision yet.

I need to tell them.

- Hmm. I know it can
be stressful, Liam.

But it's a good
problem to have.

How many kids graduate
college, land an internship,

and within a few months,
they have offers from

the top two consulting
firms in New York?

But I get it.

Your decisions don't
just affect you now.

- I don't know,
Mom, what if my...

my gut is telling me
something isn't right?

- Then you need
to listen to it.

- All of a sudden
it's like everyone has

all these
expectations for you.

- I wish I could tell
you that gets better.

You know, you
try to please everyone,

you end up pleasing no one,
including yourself.

You're about to
start a whole new

chapter in
your life, honey.

Own it, and whatever job you
choose, you'll have my support.

- Thanks, Mom.

I needed to hear that.

- Yeah, of course.

You're still my son, no
matter what chapter you're in.

- Right.

- I don't
know what to do.

I can't believe
she quit on us like that.

- Is Katie okay?

- Katie? You okay?

- The wedding
coordinator quit!

- What?

- What happened?

- She apologized,
but apparently got

a last-minute celebrity
elopement opportunity.

She's on her way to
Aspen as we speak.

- Okay. It's gonna be fine.

We've got four days
till Christmas Eve.

A lot of the big things
are already handled.

- Right, but the coordinator

left a lot of small
things not handled.

- Last-minute details
can really add up.

- We'll just have
to do it ourselves.

Maybe we just need to
scratch a few things.

- No, it's your
wedding day, Katie.

We're not
scratching anything.

- Oh, sorry, Joan.
This is my Uncle Beau.

- Oh, yeah.
We actually met.

- Yeah. Hello, again.

- Hello.

Why don't we get
you some eggnog?

Eggnog has a way of
making everything better.

- Eggnog sounds
like a perfect idea.

- Your parents are coming
in this afternoon, right?

- Yeah. They should
be taking off shortly.

- Good, well, between
your parents and me,

we'll get
everything done.

- And I'll help too.

- Oh, thanks. But that
won't be necessary.

- If you think it's gonna be
easy for the three of you,

just think of how much we'll
get done with the four of us.

- Well, six of us.

- We're not letting
you guys do this alone.

We'll split the list
between all of us.

- Yeah, well in that case,
we'll be fine.

And we don't wanna keep
you from your photography.

I hope you got that perfect
shot of a tree, by the way?

- I did, actually.

- Thank you
so much, Beau.

- That was for you?
- Yeah.

Well, Beau offered to do the
photography for the wedding.

Have to get a shot of
the special tree, right?

- Liam said his dad always
talked about that magical night

he had with you at
the tree lighting.

- Yeah, magical's a good word.

- Yeah, he said,
he fell in love with you

before he even
knew your name.

- He always
made me feel like

the luckiest
girl in the world.

- That's my parents. One sec.

- So you uh, photograph
professionally?

- I'm sorry.

Mom, he's a very famous
travel photographer.

Beau Sullivan.
Haven't you heard of him?

- You know, you
do look familiar.

- Really?

I mean, I tend to stick
behind the camera.

- Yeah, honestly,
I still can't believe

you offered to
shoot our wedding.

Kind of feels like
having Michelangelo offer

to repaint your
kitchen or something.

- No.
Are you kidding me?

Look, anything that
makes Katie this happy

is as good a project
at the Sistine Chapel.

I'm just saying.

- That's very
sweet of you, Beau.

You know,
you're right.

If we all work together,
it'll be a breeze.

- Mom and Dad just called to
see their flight is canceled.

- What?

Canceled? Not delayed?

- Apparently, Vermont
is getting a nor'easter.

The earliest they expect to
arrive is three days from now.

- Oh, boy.

- I'm gonna need another eggnog.

- Okay. Okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Um, alright,
what if me and you

took one half
of the list

and, Mom, you Beau
took the other half?.

- Beau and me?
- Yeah.

- Well, it's like you said--

- And I think the word
she used was a breeze.

- Yes.
- Isn't that right?

- That's right.

- Come on. It'll be fun.

All right. Which half of
the list is ours, Katie?

- Oh, um, that is half.

It's a two-page list.

- Oh, okay.

I mean, just so,
to confirm,

nothing on here
has been done yet?

- Oh, I'm sorry,
I should have updated that.

I already took care
of the napkin rings.

I picked them up in
town on my way here.

So you can
cross that out.

- Great.

- Don't worry, Katie.
We'll get it done.

- Are you sure?

If it's too much,
we understand.

- No, it's not too much.

- Honestly, we're so
grateful for you two.

- So grateful.

Liam, we should run
to our fittings.

- Okay.

- Why don't we
meet you guys

for the cake tasting
this afternoon?

- Perfect.

- Sounds great.

Yeah, we should...

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- Coordinator sure left
a lot to the last minute.

- Yeah, more than
I would've expected.

But, you know, if we organize
ourselves, we'll be fine.

- Right, and, well,
we already know we have

the napkin
rings covered.

- Yeah.

Oh, and the second
item on the list.

I've got
flowers in my car

and I'm arranging
them on Thursday.

- Okay. We're on a roll.

- Yeah, we can get a
lot done in town too,

before the bakery.

- Okay, so let's
bring in your flowers,

and then
we'll hit the road.

- Sounds good.

- After you.
- Okay.

- Are we decorating
for a Christmas visit

with Santa
or a wedding?

- Do you have something
against Christmas.

- No, it's not that.

- That's good because
this is nothing compared

to the wreaths and trees
that we're gonna need it.

- Look, I realize that the
wedding is on Christmas Eve,

but do they really want
it to be this Christmassy?

- "You can never have
too many wreaths and trees.

"I want it to feel like a
Christmas winter wonderland."

- Are you really surprised?

They fell in love at
a Christmas party.

- I don't really do Christmas.

- You don't do Christmas?

Do you also not do fun?

- No.

It's just, I think,

no matter how much you
decorate an event room,

you can't compete with the
season's natural beauty.

- Well, you're right.

You sure you don't have
more of a love for Christmas

than you're letting on?

- I'm a
full-fledged Grinch.

- Okay, well we have
about three hours

before we need
to meet the kids.

- Yeah, four days
to coordinate

the ultimate
Christmas Eve wedding.

- Hmm.

Well, come on Ebenezer.

Let's check it out inside.

Unless you have
a planned visit

with the Ghost of
Christmas Past?

- Starting to wonder
if that might be you.

stic)

- The ceremony is scheduled
to take place here,

in the Holly Room.

- Ooh. I love the name.

- We have Christmas
events booked up

in all our other event
spaces throughout the week.

However, this room is all
yours to do as you wish,

until the big day.

The Snowflake Room is
reserved for the reception.

However, it will be in
use at all other times.

AKA, this space
is off-limits

until the morning
of the reception.

You'll have to do all your
advanced preparation work

in the Holly Room.

- Oh, that should be fine.

It's beautiful.
Thank you so much.

- Wedding coordination can
be extremely stressful.

Should you require
any assistance,

I'm afraid
I won't be much help.

Last-minute wedding issues
aren't really my thing.

- You are a
concierge, correct?

- Yes, of course.

Merry Christmas.

- Isn't it perfect?

I mean, just picture it
with some garland and lights

and plenty of
poinsettia arrangements.

- Are we decorating
for a wedding

or for a production
of the "Nutcracker"?

- How many more of those lines
do you have up your sleeve?

- Got about three
more ready to go.

So, how do you do it?

- Do what?

- Stay so excited
about Christmas?

It's almost childlike.

- Are you call me childish?

- Childlike,
not childish.

- Mm-hmm.

Ah, you know, I've loved
Christmas since I was a girl.

- Hmm?
- Yeah.

And I always wanted
to make the holidays

extra special for Liam.

My husband passed away
right before Christmas

when Liam was little.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah.

But, you know,
I knew no matter what

that I wanted Liam to
feel that Christmas magic

that I felt
when I was little.

Like the ones I spent at
Snowfall Lodge growing up.

- Wait, wait, wait.

You used to come here?

- Yeah, it was my family's
Christmas tradition

through college.

And my husband and I used to
bring Liam when he was little.

Certainly, you must've felt some
Christmas miracles growing up?

- Yeah. I'm not so sure I
believe in Christmas miracles.

- Maybe you're just not
looking hard enough maybe.

- Maybe.

- So why do they call
you the Lone Wolf?

- Who calls me
the Lone Wolf?

- Global Photography
Magazine, apparently.

I felt silly that
I didn't know your name.

So I did a little
internet search.

- Well, no, I'm sorry.
I never read that article.

- Why not? You don't
like the headline?

"Beau Sullivan,
Lone Wolf Photographer

"Continues to
Innovate."

- I take photos.
I don't write headlines.

- Mm-hmm.

So innovative that he forgets
to take the lens cap off.

- Come on.
I was distracted.

I guess they
call me that

because I do all my shoots
on my own, in far off places.

I'm kind of a
one-man-band.

- Oh.

- What?

- No, it just seems
a little lonely?

- Not at all.
- Hmm.

- Look, I made
a vow years ago

that I was gonna have a job
where I'd travel the world

and never have any
two days be the same.

- But you didn't wanna do
that with other people?

- If I had, I don't think I
could have been as successful.

I only rely on myself,
less goes wrong that way.

I've been able to live out
the dream I had since college.

It's actually paid off.

I mean, how many
people can say that?

- Yeah, true.

I guess when I think
of some of my dreams,

I just always wanted to
share them with other people.

- Yeah, well, I have not figured
out a way to do that yet.

- Where did you say
you went to college?

- Boston College.

Go Eagles.

Why? How about you?

- Oh, Elmstead University.

Go Beavers.

- This is, right?

- Yeah.

Aw. I used to come here
every year growing up.

You know, they
have this delicious

gingerbread
doughnut but--

- They only make
them one week a year?

- How'd you know that?

- I actually spent
a Christmas here too,

many, many years ago.

- Maybe our paths crossed.

- Yeah, you know, there
is something familiar...

Sorry.

It's probably work.

Yeah. I need to take this.

- Go right ahead.

- Merry Christmas.

Please feel free to
take a number, miss.

- Thank you.

Number three.

Number three, please.

- A gingerbread
doughnut, please.

- It's your lucky day.

Second to last one.

They sold out fast today.

Number four.

Number four, please.

Number four, please.

- She's number four.

- Oh, no, I think
I'm number five.

- Pretty sure you're
four. I'm five.

Better get that last doughnut.

- Miss.

- Hi. Could I get a
gingerbread doughnut, please?

Thanks.

My conscience won't
let me eat this alone.

And I won't sleep well
tonight if you don't share it.

- No, really, it's yours.

- What about you?

- Me? I'm okay.

I have a bunch of stuff I need
to do that I forgot about.

- Well, maybe it can wait
one minute.

- This really is unbelievable.

- The hype doesn't
even do it justice.

- You know the only thing
that could make it better?

- What?
- Is a cup of hot chocolate.

Can I grab you one?

- Yes, please.

- Marshmallows?

- Three.
- Three?

- Well, any more
and it's too sweet,

and any less,
you'd wish you had more.

- Oh.
- There's two hot chocolates.

- Thanks.

- Merry Christmas.

- Thanks so much.

Well, I suppose
I should let you get back

to those big plans tonight.

- Oh, yeah.

Lots of big stuff
on the agenda.

Okay. I'm a terrible liar.

I have zero plans.

- Really?

- I only said that,
so you wouldn't

feel bad taking
the doughnut.

Truth is I'm on
vacation with my family

and was just planning on
exploring for the day.

- No way? I'm in the
exact same situation.

Maybe it's fate.

- Excuse me.

Do you two
wanna be partners

for the snowman
building contest?

- Sure. We're in.

- Great.

What are your names?

- She's number four.

- And he's number five.

- Number five?

- Oh. Yeah.
- Excellent.

- Thank you.
What would you like?

- Two gingerbread doughnuts.

- Yep. That's right.

Yeah. The wedding's
on Christmas Eve.

So I can take an assignment
as early as the 26th.

Yeah.

What about New Year's?

Somewhere new?

Okay.

All right. Thanks.

Yeah. Let me know.

See ya.

- All right, these are
too good to not get you one.

- Thanks
- Oh, sure.

- You know, the kids are
gonna be here, any minute now.

- That watch.

You don't see
those every day.

- Yeah. It was
my grandfather's.

This is gonna sound
really strange--

- It's you.

- How are our favorite
wedding coordinators?

- Good. We're great.

- Couldn't be better.

- So, you two ready
to try some cake?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Let's go. Can't wait.

- No, this is
definitely the one.

What flavor is this?

This literally tastes
like Christmas.

- Smooth white
chocolate buttercream

with just a hint
of peppermint.

- It's really delicious.

- Thank you.

- Oh! It's gonna be amazing.

- Makes you wanna curl up by
a crackling fire, doesn't it?

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah.

- Oh, I almost forgot.

It wouldn't be the perfect
Christmas confection

without a perfect
Christmas wedding topper.

- Represents the tree
at the Snowfall Lodge.

- Excuse me. I'll be right back.

- Wanna tell her now?

- Tell me what?.

- Okay, well, we have
a little surprise.

After the reception, we're
gonna have all the guests

attend the tree lighting.

A way to honor the love
story that you and dad had.

- I don't know what to say.

- The way dad used to
describe love at first sight,

I didn't think something
like that was possible.

Then I met Katie.

I knew exactly what
he was talking about

when he saw you
at that tree.

- Your love story's
part of our story, Joan.

- It's a really sweet gesture.

I'm just so glad that
the wedding guests

will be able to take part
in a town tradition.

- That way they'll be
able to hang ornaments.

- And make wishes.

- It's really wonderful.

Your dad would have loved it.

- Isn't it a great
idea, Uncle Beau?

Isn't Joan's love
story's so romantic.

- Yeah. Very romantic.

I had no idea.

- Yeah. Love at first
sight is such a rare thing.

- It certainly is.

- I was starting to
think you weren't coming.

- Oh, you were expecting me?

- Sorry, no. I thought
you were somewhere else.

- Ah.

No, I just noticed you're
wearing a Elmstead U hat.

I'm a sophomore there.

- Oh, cool. I'm actually
starting in the fall.

- Well, my friends and
I are over just over here.

If you wanna join us?

- I'm actually kind of
waiting for someone.

But I don't know
if he's still coming.

- Well, you're welcome
to wait with us.

- Thanks. I'm Joan, by the way.

- I'm Morgan.

- Joan?

You slipped out rather quickly
after the cake tasting.

- Oh, sorry about that.

I just wanted to
change before dinner.

- So we're just gonna pretend?

- Pretend?
- Pretend we never met.

- Well, we actually
didn't, technically.

- Come on, number four.

- Oh, shh, don't call me that.

- Look, I'm sorry I didn't
show up for the tree lighting.

- I should explain.
- No, you really shouldn't.

- No, I owe you an explanation.

- Beau.

Everything happened
exactly as it should have.

You standing me
up that night

was the best gift you
could have ever given me.

If things
had been different,

I never would've met
my husband or had Liam.

- Okay. You're right.

I'm still sorry.

- No. No apology
necessary.

But can we keep this between us?

I never told Liam that
the night I met his dad,

I had spent a romantic
day with someone else.

I don't wanna tarnish
his memory of that story.

Yeah, you heard how he talked
about it today, right?

- There you two are.

- Hey.
- Hi, honey.

- Hey, I know we said
we'd do dinner tonight,

but think it's cool
if we actually did

breakfast tomorrow
morning, instead?

Bunch of the wedding
party just arrived

and they wanted
to head into town.

Do some last-minute
Christmas shopping.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, that's fine, sweetie.

- Actually, why don't
you two join us?

- No, no.

We have a lot of
planning to do tomorrow.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Some Christmas wrapping to do.

And gonna get some dinner,
take it to my room.

- Really? You sure, Mom?

- Yeah, yeah. Have a good time.

- I'll see you both tomorrow.
- Okay, have a good night.

- Well, what about you, Beau?

- No, you know, I really
need to track down my editor.

You have fun though.

- All right. Have a good night.

- I'm assuming you want
the tree over there.

- Oh, I was actually
thinking over there.

- Really?

- Yeah. You don't think so?

- Well, no, you know,
it's just I'm a photographer.

I kind of have an
eye for these things.

You want it on the right?

- Well, that's where
the Christmas roses

and holly are going.

I'm a florist,

I kind of have an eye
for these things too.

- The tree is going
to look perfect

right there
in the middle.

Are you guys coming
for breakfast?

Santa's gonna be there.

- Yep. Sounds great.
We'll be right there.

Joan, can
we talk about this?

- I guess Katie settled
where the tree's gonna go.

- Look, I completely
respect that you don't want

Liam and Katie to
know about our past.

But after seeing you
all these years later,

I wanna explain what happened
with the tree lighting.

- The tree lighting that
means so much to Liam,

he custom made a model of it
to go on his wedding cake?

- Yes.

And I don't wanna take
away from any of that.

- And I appreciate that

because this isn't
just about you and me.

It's Liam's memory of his dad.

And I don't
mean to be insensitive,

but can we just try to
put that day behind us?

You're a great guy, but
look at who we've become.

We couldn't be
more different.

- So you think fate
knew what it was doing?

Ending our story at
that Ferris wheel?

- Yeah, it did.

- Okay.

So then why do you think it
brought us back together now?

- So, how's your list going?

- Fine.
- Fine.

- That's good.

- Yeah, we still have three
days till Christmas Eve

and the room already
looks incredible.

- So when are you guys
moving to New York?

- Oh.

Actually,
Uncle Beau, we're not.

- You're not?

- Yeah. Thanks for
your advice, Mom.

But I turned down the
job offers this morning.

New York just
wasn't the right fit.

- Oh.

You don't have any other
offers at the moment, do you?

- No, but he has a lot of
prospects here in Colorado.

- In the meantime, Katie's
been absolutely killing it

with her job
at Dr. Perkins.

- That's great.

I have no doubt
that you're gonna be

an incredible
vet one day.

But Liam, you know, you
stayed home and commuted

during college
to save money.

And I just always thought
that you wanted to go

someplace new after
graduation, you know?

Someplace where you
could spread your wings

and live out
your dreams.

- Yeah, who says you have to
leave your roots to do that?

- Doesn't that seem a bit
risky to turn down two jobs

right before
you get married?

- Yeah.

I get how it
can seem like that,

but I've got a feeling
everything's gonna work out

exactly as it should.

- 'Kay.

- Something wrong, Beau?

- No, no. No.

I don't know,
it doesn't seem like

the most
responsible move to me.

- Well, actually, I--
- Responsible?

- Liam is incredibly
responsible, Beau.

I never questioned that.

When Liam says he's gonna do
something he follows through.

- Okay, Mom.

- Liam, that's our reminder.
We should get going.

- Okay. I gotta work on my vows.

- And I need to finalize
the dinner seating.

I might need some help
with the layout later.

So play nice, you too.

- When he says he's gonna do
something he follows through.

Was that just about Liam?

- I was simply
stating the facts.

I'm sorry, but you
were being rude.

- Rude?
How was I being rude?

- You were judging my son.

- No, it seems to me

I was just being
protective of my niece.

- Finding the right
job takes time.

Weren't you just saying
yesterday how happy you are

that you followed your
professional dreams?

- Sure, but everything changes

when you bring someone
else into the mix.

- So you're saying that you
can't follow your dreams

and allow yourself to
be close to someone?

- It's the only way
that it's worked for me.

- You know, why don't we
split up the list today

and work separately?

Yeah?

- Fine.

I do better working solo.

- So you keep saying.

- Fine.

- So does that cover
seating for everyone?

- Don't think we
figured out Dr. Perkins.

- Oh, your boss?

Oh. Uh...

Coulda sworn
I wrote him down here.

- He's single.

I don't want him to
feel like he was thrown

at a random table, you know?

- No, of course.

- Maybe we
should get Joan's advice.

- Yeah, we kind of
split up the work today.

- Really?
- Yeah. It's easier that way.

- Uh-huh.

About this morning.

You should know the
New York decision was mutual.

- I thought Liam
turned down those jobs

'cause it didn't feel
like a good fit for him.

- Yeah. That was part of it,

but that's what's so
special about Liam.

When he says good fit he isn't
just talking about himself.

He's factored in
what's best for both of us.

- So you don't wanna
go to New York?

- New York's great, but I
love my life here and my job.

And the main reason
we wanted to stay

is we don't have
family in New York.

I don't want my future
children to be far from family,

where they see relatives
only once or twice a year.

- I'm really sorry that
I wasn't around more

when you were growing up.

- That's okay.

I don't judge you,
Uncle Beau, for being busy.

I guess I just didn't
understand at the time

why my favorite uncle
always seemed to be

in such a rush
to get away.

But the important thing
is that you're here now.

- There's nowhere I'd rather be.

I'm really
sorry about breakfast.

- Ah, your heart was
in the right place.

I know Liam
will get a job soon.

He's the best.

- So are you.

You two have the
right priorities.

- You know, I can't
believe I'm saying this,

but you think we should?

- Well, I'd love to, but
that's my maid of honor.

I've got so much left prep
left to do at the inn,

but you should.

- I don't think
they're gonna let me

be a one-man team.

- Oh, actually, I think
I know the perfect person

to take my place.

- Who?

- Hey, Joan.
- Oh, hi, Katie.

- Beau.
- Hey.

- Is there any way you
could take my place

at the snowman
building competition?

- Oh, my snowman
building days are over.

- You know, I thought
mine were too,

but I think we
should go for it.

- What do you say?

Are you two partners?

- We are.

- Great.

Good luck.

- Shall we?
- Okay.

- Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I'll get the sticks.

- Yes. Get 'em.

- All right, we need a nose.

- We need a nose.
- Oh, yeah, the nose!

- Oh, oh, oh! Check it out!

Yeah, cool snowman.

- Okay. I'm
gonna get a hat!

- Yeah.

Good, good, good.

- Okay. Woo!

- Yes!
- Yes!

- Yeah!
- Woo!

- I like it.
- Okay.

- You know
it's too bad

they don't have snowman
making in the Olympics.

- Oh, yeah. You think
we'd make the team?

- We would win the gold.

I owe you apology
for this morning.

I shouldn't have drawn such
quick conclusions about Liam.

He's a great kid.

And you're right.
I have nothing to worry about.

I'm sorry for my rudeness.

- Thank you. I appreciate that.

And, listen, I'm sorry if
I had been a little strange,

it's just been a lot to process
being here and seeing you again.

- Ah, don't worry about it.

And as long as we're making
peace left and right,

I wonder if maybe you'll
consider bringing me back

as your co-wedding
coordinator.

I realize you don't need me,
but I'm definitely

more effective when
I'm working with you.

- Doesn't sound like something
Beau Sullivan would say.

- Yeah, well, Beau
Sullivan never had to

finalize seating
for a wedding.

I have no idea what to
do with Dr. Perkins.

- The Vet?
- One and only.

- Oh, table eight with
my cousin, Kelsey.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

She runs a
pet grooming company

and she happens
to be single.

So at the very least
they'll talk shop

and maybe
they'll be sparks too.

- I love it.

- Okay, so, a florist,
a wedding coordinator,

and now a matchmaker.

I'm impressed.

You know what? I think I'm
gonna head into town later.

Maybe get a bite to eat.

- Oh, yeah?

- You're welcome to join.

- Oh, just the two of us?

- Yeah. I guess.

- I'm sorry, Beau, but I-

I'm happy to
work together, but--

- Okay, so it'd be
partly a working dinner.

We could eat at the restaurant
owned by the caterer.

- Oh, the Home Tavern? I'm doing
the rehearsal dinner there.

- All the more reason for us
to taste test the cuisine.

You like how
thorough I'm being

with our wedding
responsibilities?

- I appreciate your
going above and beyond,

but I don't wanna
complicate things.

- Yeah. Okay, no problem.

No worries.

So, okay. So what's
next on the list?

- Well, you know,
all the wreaths

that we brought
in yesterday?

- How could I forget?

- Thought we could
spruce them up a bit.

I put the wedding
party to work.

I had them take them all
down to the Snowflake Room,

and I thought we could
have a wreath-making party.

- The Snowflake Room?

I thought our friendly concierge
said that was off-limits?

How'd you'd swing that?

- Sometimes people
just need an invitation

to open themselves up to
some Christmas miracles.

- Joan, could I get
going on this thing?

I saw the decorations
laid out on the table.

I absolutely
love wreath making.

- Thank you, Charlie, for
opening up the Snowflake Room.

- Always happy to help.

- Who knew?

- Hmm! Shall we?

- Yeah- Um-

You know what? Actually,
I'll be right with you.

I just have to
make a stop first.

c)

- Wow. How's everyone doing?

- Ah! I'm so excited!

- I haven't decorated
a wreath in years.

- Aw.

Liam's not here yet?

- I think he's still
working on his vows.

He probably just
lost track of time.

- Mrs. Stinson?

I haven't really done
anything like this

since middle
school art class.

Back then my teacher
thought my painting of Santa

looked more like
the Kool-Aid Man.

- I have faith in you, Tommy.

And just remember, there's
no one right way to do this.

- How's this, Joan?

- Wow, incredible.

Well, this obviously
isn't your first time.

- Actually, it is.

I've scheduled these
kinds of events for years,

but this is the first
time that anyone has ever

invited me
to participate.

- Would you mind covering
for me for a second?

I'm just gonna run out
and check on our groom.

- Absolutely.
Don't worry about a thing.

Okay, everyone, who needs
help with their glue gun?

- I do.

- Hey, by the way,
how those vows going?

- They are...

They're going.

- Listen, I don't know
how helpful I'd be,

but if you need some feedback,
I could take a look.

- Really?
- Hello, gentlemen.

- Hey, Mom.

How's the wreath making going?

- You know, everyone's
having a good time.

- Really?

Well, then, we should
probably head in there, huh?

- Yeah.

- Liam, can we just
chat for a second?

- Sure.
- Yeah.

I should probably get a
head start on my wreath, anyway.

I feel I'm gonna
need some extra time.

- Beau.

Thanks.

- Yeah, man.

- About this morning.

- Mom. It's okay.

- No, I was a little
thrown, that's all.

I meant what
I said yesterday.

I'm really glad
you're trusting your gut.

- Thanks, Mom.

I had a really great
phone interview earlier.

My commute would
only be five minutes.

- That's great. Congratulations.

- Thanks.

- You and Beau had a nice talk?

- Yeah.

Yeah, he seems
like a nice guy.

Apologized
for this morning.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- Well, he asked me to dinner
as a peace offering too.

- Oh, that's great.

- Yeah. I said no.

- Why?

- Well, I don't want him
to get the wrong idea.

- Wrong idea about what?
You gotta eat?

- He did call
it a working dinner.

He wanted to try out the
food at the restaurant

owned by the caterer.

- What's wrong with that?

Mom, go have fun. alright?

I don't want this week
to be all work for you.

It's Christmas.

- No, it's okay, honey.

This wedding planning
thing's actually really fun.

I woke up this morning and
practically jumped out of bed.

- Ah, it's because
you're a natural.

- Well, it's sweet
of you to say.

- I'm not trying to be sweet.
It's the truth.

Mom, you do everything
for everyone.

When's it gonna be your turn
to have a little bit of fun?

- Oh, hey.

- Hi.

If the opportunity
is still open,

I would love to join for
that working dinner tonight.

- Well, you know,
technically,

I did say it'd be
partly a working dinner.

- Right. Partly working dinner.

- Yeah, but the thing is

I already made a
reservation for one.

I guess I could check
with the restaurant.

- Yeah, you do that
then.

Is that your work?

- Yeah. It's part of a new
collection I'm working on.

It's winter scenes.

Starting on
a shoot in Finland

and then I started pulling
all these old photos

from over the years.

Thought it might be cool
if I put them all together.

- Winter or Christmas?

- A bit of both, I guess.

- Yeah. I think we're
making progress here.

You know, some of these
are perfect candidates

for ornaments to
hang on the tree.

- Yeah, I don't think
I'm gonna have time

to hang any ornaments.

- There's always
time for ornaments.

- Not when you're
taking the photos.

- Even then.

Oh, speaking of that,
I was working on the schedule.

Wanted to know how
much time you wanted

for the posed photos
of her wedding party?

- You know,
I'm not a big fan

of traditional posed
wedding photos.

- I should have seen
that one coming.

- No, look, it's just unexpected
candids are so much better.

- Then how do you get the
perfect wedding picture?

- By catching people
in real moments.

You can't get more
perfect than that.

Look, do you recommend using
fake flowers to your customers?

- No, of course not.

- Well, why?

Perfect color.
They're always in bloom.

They'll never wilt.

- Yeah. You have a point.

I mean, real flowers
are more beautiful

because of
their imperfections.

- It's the same with my photos.

- I can see that.

But I am the
mother of the groom

and I do want
some posed photos.

- Okay.

Okay. I guess
about half an hour.

- Half hour it is.

- Till then.
- Okay.

- Hey um...

What made you
change your mind?

- Change my mind?

- About dinner.

- I decided I
deserve a little fun.

- I'm glad you did.

- So should we
take your car

or maybe a luxurious
florist van instead?

- Actually, I had
somebody else in mind.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah. Come on.

Where's your
Christmas spirit?

By the way,
you look amazing.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

- Grinch, huh?

That was
really beautiful.

Thank you.

Is that how you always
try to apologize?

- Oh, no.

Actually, I don't have
that much practice.

Thank you.

Okay. I gotta ask.

You never settled down?

- Jumping right in?

No. I did not.

Just never got around to it.

- Interesting.

Suspicious, but interesting.

- What about you?

Have you dated much
since Morgan passed away?

- Oh, I had a relationship,
but it didn't work out.

- Why do you suppose that is?

- You know, the idea of
introducing a new man

into Liam's life, when I wasn't
sure if it would work out,

just didn't feel right.

He was a nice guy,
but he wanted more

than I could
give at that time.

- Yeah. I get that.

- I was given one great true
love and I've accepted that.

All right, I went.
What about you?

- Well, I did have one
serious girlfriend.

- That's about it.
- That's about it?

- Come on, you gotta
give me more than that.

- There's not more to give.
We just weren't a match.

- What? did she like
Christmas too much or what?

- Exactly? How'd you guess?

She just...

She wanted more than I was
able to give at the time.

- Fair enough.

So how come you don't usually
spend Christmas with family?

- How'd you know that?

- Just a hunch.

- Well, my brother,

he lives a life that's
so different from mine.

You know, great wife,
amazing daughter,

roots in a small town.

As I got older it...

- You saw the appeal?

- It's just a lot easier to
forget what you're missing

when it's out of sight.

I started
avoiding going home.

Focus more on what I'd
set out to do instead.

And then, you know, one
year becomes five and so on.

And yet, here you are.

- Yeah, well, maybe I'm
switching things up.

- Hmm.

- I highly recommend it,
by the way.

- Switching things up?
- Yeah.

- I mean, you were clearly
born to plan weddings.

Katie told me you were gonna
start your own business.

So why not take the leap?

- Oh, it's not really
the right time now.

Now Liam and Katie
are staying here now

and I just wanna be around
to help them if they need it.

- Mm-hmm. And?

- And?

- Come on, you don't think
there's some fear in there too?

- Why
would you say that?

- 'Cause it's scary
to take a jump.

- Yeah, it can be.

- Come on, isn't
that what you admire

about what
Liam's doing?

He's following his heart,

even though everything's
not fully lined up yet.

- Yeah. Change is hard.

- That's true.

It's true. Spontaneity does
not come as easily these days.

- You mean the spontaneity
like spending the whole day

with a total stranger
when you're 18?

- Precisely.

- Well, you said
that in your life,

there are no
two days the same.

- Yeah. And you know what?

After a while, even that
becomes predictable.

Maybe we need to get back in
touch with our spontaneity.

Back in touch with who we
were as those 18-year-olds.

Care to dance?

- There's no one on
the dance floor yet.

- Come on, number four.

Let's be number one.

- Okay.

- You're every bit as
beautiful as the day we met.

- I have a very extensive
skin care routine.

- No, it's not that.

It's just you.

You know, I always
wondered about you.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I don't know if you've
had enough Christmas yet,

but I have an idea.

Are you okay?

- Oh, yeah.

I just haven't been on one
of these in a long time.

- The Joan I knew wasn't
afraid of heights.

- Thought the
Beau I knew was.

- Yeah, you help
me get over it.

Ah, there she is.

The fearless girl with
the perfect smile.

Come on.

- Okay.

- Guess spontaneity suits me.

- It definitely does.

- So, I should tell you,

I never stopped wondering
what happened to you either.

- You should know, I really
wanted to be there that night.

I don't know if you remem--

- Do you
need to get that?

- It's my editor.

- Oh, wait. Weren't you
trying to reach him?

- It's fine. Look, anyway.

So what happened was--

- Go ahead.
It might be important.

- Let me just text
them really quickly

so he leaves me alone.

- Okay.

- Hey, Liam?

Liam!

Do you wanna know
how I met your mom?

We met by the tree
at the Snowfall Lodge.

That's where
we fell in love.

- In love?

That was the
night we met.

We didn't even start
dating till the fall.

- Oh, I knew before you
even told me your name.

It was love
at first sight.

I made a wish
that night,

right before the tree
lit up to meet you.

- You hear that, Liam.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- I knew right
before I met you,

you're always gonna
be the one for me.

- And you're the
only one more me.

- I'm sorry about that.

- No, we should
probably get back.

- Why? It's still early.

- Yeah, I have a
lot to do tomorrow

and probably should get
a good night's sleep.

I told Katie
that we'd show her

the Holly Room in the
afternoon too, so.

- Yeah, you're right.

We should probably
call it night.

entle ma)

- Okay, are
you ready to see it?

- I can't wait.
I'm so excited.

- All right.
One, two, three.

- It's perfect.

It's everything
I've ever dreamed of.

- Oh Katie,
I'm so glad.

- We're just so lucky.

You've been so supportive of
us from the very beginning.

- I'm just really
happy for you both.

- A lot of parents would
have said we were too young,

but you trusted us.

That meant so much.

- Yeah, well, it's obvious
how in love you two are.

When your heart knows, why wait?

- Exactly.

This idea that love only
finds you at a certain age,

never made sense to me.

How can you put a
timeline on love?

- You can't.

- Love finds you when
it's supposed to.

- So what does
the bride think?

- I love it!

My parents are gonna
be so impressed

when they
get in tomorrow.

You and Joan turned
out to be a great team.

- Yeah, we really are.

- Gram, Gramps,
we're so happy you're here.

- So are we.

- It's been years since we've
mentioned the Snowfall Lodge.

The place hasn't
changed at all.

- To be here for your
wedding on Christmas Eve

is so special for us.

- Only two days away.

- I'm so excited.

- Mom, Dad, you made it!

- Hi. I'm Beau.
- Pleased to meet, Beau.

- Nice to meet you too.

- After you.
- Thank you.

- Good evening.

May I get you
anything to drink?

- Oh, yeah. I would love
some hot chocolate, please.

- I'll take one too.

- Two hot chocolates.

- With three marshmallows
a piece, please.

- That sounds perfect.

- Coming right up.

- Three marshmallows?

- Any more and it's too sweet.

Any less and you
wish you had more.

- Wow, Mom, you're
really branching out.

She usually doesn't
go for marshmallows.

- Not since she was
a little girl, anyway.

Isn't that exactly how you
used to order it, Joan?

- Yeah, I must've
mentioned it to Beau.

- Yeah.

- Interesting.

- I hear the Holly
Room looks stunning.

- Joan, could we
sneak a little peak

before your hot
chocolate arrives?

- Sure, Mom.

- Joan, what did
I always tell you?

- Moms can read minds.

- Exactly. So spill it.

- Okay.

You're not gonna
believe this.

You may not
even remember.

But Beau is the same
guy who stood me up

at the Christmas tree lighting
the night I met Morgan.

- Number five?

- Not so loud.

Yes, number five.

- Oh, my goodness.
And now you're reunited.

Oh, it doesn't get much
more romantic than that.

- No, it's not romantic.

He's very nice.

It was a long time ago.

- Joan--

- Listen, Beau and I agreed
to keep this to ourselves.

I need you to promise
not to tell anyone.

- Fine, but--

- No. Promise me, Mom.

- Of course,
you have my word.

But I'm just saying when
I look at the two of you,

there's something in the air.

- There's nothing in the air.

Completely clear skies.

- Oh, no. What happened here?

- Unexpected storm last night.

Tree fell on the roof.

Now we've got a leak,
and we're having

trouble with the heat
and power in here.

- But someone's coming
to fix it, though, right?

- We can try, but it's the
day before Christmas Eve.

Soonest anyone can get
out of here as the 26th.

- The 26th? My niece is
getting married tomorrow.

- Yeah, pretty sure Charlie's
trying to find you guys

to break
the bad news.

- He's got some
options for us, right?

- Liam and Katie are on
their way to the airport

to pick up her parents.

We've got a couple
hours to fix this.

- To fix this?

- Follow me. I've got an idea.

So, what's your idea?

- Actually, it's your idea.

- Hmm?
- Mm-hmm.

You know you said you didn't
know how an event room

could compete with the
season's natural beauty?

- Yeah.

- Well, maybe you were right.

We have everything
we need right here.

- How do you mean?

- All right, the ceremony
is only 20 minutes long.

- Okay?
- Okay.

- So what have we lined heaters
over here and over here.

Okay?

Now, imagine the
altar right there.

Flowers all around.

And the chairs here with
blankets draped over them

so that the guests
can stay cozy.

Katie wanted a
winter wonderland.

Why don't
we give her one?

- So we add warm milk and we
have instant hot chocolate.

- The guests
are gonna love it.

- Hey, you two!

I hope we're not
interrupting anything.

- Hey.
- So good to see you!

- And you.
- Oh, my God. You look great!

Yeah, good to see you.

- We were picking
up Mum and Dad

when we got your message
about the Holly Room.

I couldn't believe it.

But after seeing
what you did outside,

I couldn't be happier.

- Yeah, honestly,
it was a major upgrade.

- I feel terrible about this.

But I have a spa
appointment in five minutes.

- Oh, well, every bride needs
a pre-wedding pampering.

Don't worry. We've got this.

- You guys are the best.

- Enjoy.

Beau, I was
wondering if you had-

able to look
at that thing?

- Yeah, I did.

Listen, I made a few notes,
but you did such a great job.

- Thanks, man. Means a lot.

So they're in my room.
Want me to grab them?

- You know what?

I'll just come by,
swing by later, pick them up.

Still got two more
items on my own checklist.

- Uh-huh.

- Everyone, see you at
the rehearsal dinner.

Mom.

- You're good.

- We were just
saying you should go

catch up with your brother,
it's been so long.

- You sure?
- Absolutely.

- All right.
- Yeah.

- I'm so glad
I can finally help.

It was killing us
being stuck in Vermont.

- Yeah, seriously.

Thank you both for being here
for Katie when we couldn't.

- It was truly our pleasure.

- It was.

Shall we?

- Yeah. Yeah.

It's good to see.

- Okay
- Right. Let's get started.

Put your purse down here.

Come, grab one of these.

- So, Nepal?

- Yeah, you gotta see these
Sherpas. They're unbelievable.

These guys they're carrying
like three times their weight

up the mountain,
it's unbelievable.

- All right, well,
you know, it is so great

to hear about how you doing
so well, but now I gotta ask.

You and Joan? Huh?

- What's that look?

- Oh, you know exactly
what that look is.

- Yeah, I do.

It's the look
of someone who has

no idea what
he's talking about.

- Okay. Maybe I'm wrong.

But I could've sworn I saw
a spark between you two.

- I think maybe that
was just your jet lag.

- Maybe.

You know what? This is so great.

- Yeah.

- It's so rare that we
get to see each other.

Having you here,
is a real treat.

- Yeah, about that.

Listen, I'm sorry,
I haven't been around so much.

And I wanna try
to change that.

Oh, hold on a second.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah. It's just,
it's my editor,

about my
next assignment.

I Uh..

I Actually thought I was
gonna get some time off,

but he says it starts
day after Christmas.

- Oh, wow.

Well, where this time?

- Alaska.

I don't wanna
miss anything.

If I go it's gonna
be on Christmas Day.

- If?

Beau, you don't
have to feel guilt.

Look, we all know
what your job entails.

And you look,
you've already done so much.

And whenever you have to
leave, we'll all understand.

- Thanks.

Excuse me a second.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

e music)

- You really went above and
beyond for those kids.

There is no way
the original planner

could have done
anything so special.

- Thanks, Beau.

Appreciate that.

Can I show you something?

- Yeah, of course.

Wow.

What? You're gonna do it?

- I am.

You are gonna take the
wedding world by storm.

I can see it now.

- Thanks for encouraging
me to take a risk.

- I just gave you
a little push.

- I'm really excited about
this next chapter of my life.

- Actually, you've got me
thinking about mine too.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I'm starting to think
I might be getting tired

of traveling
all the time.

I'm actually thinking about
staying right here in the area.

And that way it'd be
close to Katie, Liam,

and then,
you know, you.

- Wow. What about
your photography?

How will that
fit into the plan?

- Okay, so I've been
thinking about that.

Something you said.

I don't have to go to
all these far off places

to pursue my passion.

- Really?

- I mean, there's as
many beautiful, candid,

day-to-day moments here
as there are abroad.

- Yeah. I couldn't agree more.

- So in fact,

I'm thinking about publishing
a new collection of photos.

- Of what?

- Something that's been
missing from my portfolio.

Moments between families.

- I love that idea.

- I don't know,
I guess I was so focused

on the path
that I've been on,

I forgot to look up
and see the beauty

that was right
in front of me.

This week I looked up.

- Well, the truth is
I am kind of like the idea

of you being
around here more.

- Good.
- Yeah.

- Beau?

Sorry.

- Hi.

- This looks amazing.
- Thank you.

- You've outdone
yourself, Joan.

I'm so glad you and Beau have
gotten to know each other.

I knew you two
would hit it off.

- It's been really nice.

He's a great guy.

- Oh, it's too bad that
his next assignment

starts the day
after Christmas.

- His next assignment?

- Peter said Alaska.

I really wish we could
have gotten here sooner.

We were really hoping to
spend more time with him.

- Yeah, I thought he might
be here a bit longer.

- Did he tell you that?

He always has the
best of intentions,

but a job
always pops up.

We're used to it
and we love him anyway.

- Guess as much as
we wish otherwise,

some people
never change.

- No, I made up my mind.
I'm not taking this job.

Look, I gotta run.

What?

No.

No, I'm not saying this is a
negotiation tactic.

Listen, I'll talk to you later.

Hey, Eddie. Merry Christmas.

- Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan.

- That's Sarah and Peter, Liam.

- Right. Of course.

Do you mind if I talk
to my mom for a second?

- Oh, yeah. Not at all.

Sarah, we should go and
build our gingerbread house.

- Yes, we should.
- Yes.

- I spotted
some candy canes

that would make
beautiful French doors.

- Oh, mais oui.

- Mom, I gotta
ask you something?

- Yeah. What is it, honey?

- Did you...

Did you know Beau
before this week?

- No.

I mean kind of.

- Kind of?

- Barely. We met once.

How did you know?

- Doesn't matter.
Why didn't you tell me?

- I didn't
tell you because

there was so much
else going on this week

it just didn't
seem important.

- The fact that you
knew my fiance's uncle

when you guys
were younger,

seems kind of
important to me.

- It was a
million years ago.

- How do you know him?

- We met here.

Same night
I met your father.

- You guys like dated?

- No, honey.

It was never romantic
between me and Beau.

It was just a silly day,
many years ago,

and it meant nothing,
I promise.

- Okay.

Okay.

Well, what about now?

You guys have to spend
a lot of time together?

- As friends. That's it.

Listen, I believe that
people get one shot at love.

And for me,
that love was your dad.

We had a beautiful life together
and I miss him every day.

- I miss him too, Mom.

- There was nothing
between me and Beau

and there never
will be, okay?

- Okay.

- So, I got a call
from my editor.

He offered me
an assignment.

Starts the day after
Christmas in Alaska.

- That's fantastic.

- Is it?

- Isn't it?

- Yeah, I suppose so.

- Did you know about the
offer before you told me

you were
considering staying?

- Yeah.
- I think you should take it.

- Especially if you're
already committed to it.

I mean, you don't
wanna tell someone

you're gonna
do something and then

go back
on your word.

- Yeah, no one likes it
when someone says one thing,

but it means
something else.

And there he is.

- You should answer that.

- It looks like things
are wrapping up.

I'm gonna head out.

What time you wanna
meet tomorrow?

- No, I think
everything's already ready.

So I'll see you
at the wedding.

- Hey, Eddie. What's up?

- Liam and Katie have each
prepared their own set of vows.

Katie?

- Liam.

That night of the
Christmas party,

you were talking to
my friends and me,

making us laugh,
as you always do.

And I looked up, and
I knew in that moment

you were the
love of my life.

That night you asked me if I
believe in Christmas miracles?

And, as I stand here,
with you right now,

I can say that I
most definitely do.

- Katie.

They say that the sign
of a good relationship

is that both people are getting
the better end of the deal.

But, I can say in my case,
with 100% certainty, that I did.

You taught me that it's about
where you put down roots

but who you
put them down with.

I fell in love with you
the moment I met you.

I can't wait to spend the
rest of our lives together.

- I now pronounce
you husband and wife.

Liam, you may
kiss the bride.

- Aren't they sweet together?

- They really are.

- Is everything okay?

- I was going to
ask you the same.

- Me? Oh, I'm wonderful.

This is one of the
best days of my life.

- I've noticed
you and Beau

have barely said a word
to each other all day.

- Oh, that.

Mom.

I've already told you

there's nothing going
on with me and Beau.

- Joan, I can tell there is.

Why are you holding back?

Because of Liam?

He would want
you to be happy.

- Yeah. Not if he
knew the full truth.

Mom, how am
I supposed to tell Liam

that I did have love at first
sight, the day I met his dad,

but not with
Morgan with Beau.

- We were just coming to
grab you for some photos.

- Yeah, I don't think
it's a good time for that.

- Joan.

- It's really not a good
time for this either.

Honey, I am so sorry.

I love you so much,

and I just didn't
wanna ruin the story

you had of
your father and me.

- It's okay, Mom.

I just wish you would
have told me the truth

because there's nothing
you could ever tell me

that would ruin the love
story that you and Dad shared.

Overhearing that doesn't
change anything for me.

- You're right.

I should have
just told you.

- I just want
you to be happy.

So would Dad.

- I do have
feelings for Beau,

but it was clear that it wasn't
meant to be from the start.

We were supposed to meet
at the tree lighting

the night I met your dad,
but Beau never showed.

And well, now, he's off to
his next assignment in Alaska.

So fate is
intervening once again.

- I'm sorry, Mom.

- It's okay.

Let's go celebrate
you and Katie.

- Did you ever figure
out why he didn't show?

- No.

- It's funny he
would hold on to

a picture of you
for all those years.

- He did?

- Yeah. I saw up in his room.

- Thank you everyone for
joining Liam and Katie

on this special day.

One thing they share is
that they both believe

in the value of family.

So I'd like to thank our family,
Joan, and Beau, especially,

for putting together
this beautiful wedding.

And when we were kids,

we spent a Christmas
in this town,

and well on Christmas Eve,
I begged my big brother Beau

to go and take me
to see Santa.

Well, he had plans already,
probably with a girl,

but well, regardless, he
agreed to take me beforehand.

Well, when we arrived,
I caught a glimpse of Santa

and I got so excited that
I let go of Beau's hand

and I ran out
into the street.

Well, the next thing I know,
we both woke up in the hospital.

A car at been
coming right me

and Beau, he just ran out in the
street and he saved my life.

Beau, if you hadn't
been there for me

I wouldn't have
gotten the chance

to walk my daughter
down the aisle today.

So thank you for
making today possible.

Liam, Katie,
may every day together

just be better
than the last.

Cheers. Everyone, cheers.

- Hey, everyone.
Grab your ornaments.

We're all gonna head down
to the tree lighting soon.

- Yeah, do it.

Congratulations.

- This has been the best day
of my life. Thank you, Joan.

- So, Mom, got your ornament?

- You know, in the
midst of everything,

I forgot
to make one.

But I will find one.

Have you
guys seen Beau?

- I did.

- Joan.

I have already
had three inquiries

from guests
staying here.

We would love to have you
coordinate some more weddings

here at Snowfall Lodge.

- I would love that.

Thank you.

- Hi, there.

- You're here.

I couldn't
find you anywhere.

I thought you'd left.

- I could never have left
without saying goodbye to you.

- Beau, about what you're
brother said, I had no idea.

- I turned down
the assignment.

- You're not
going to Alaska?

- No. Gonna try something risky
and stick around Colorado.

I spent months
in that hospital,

and when I finally got out
I started going through life

not wanting to waste
a single moment.

Didn't leave me
time for love.

I don't know,
maybe I didn't make time.

- What about now?

- No, I don't wanna waste
another moment without you.

- Last call to hang
ornaments on the tree!

Time to make
those wishes!

- I didn't get a
chance to make an ornament.

- Oh, you didn't have to.

Printed this for you.

- It's the perfect
wedding picture I wanted.

Thank you.

Did you make an ornament?

- Yeah.

- Can't believe you still have
this after all these years.

I can't believe you
made an ornament.

- I made two, actually.

Seems like proof of
Christmas miracles.

- Hmm. You think so?

- Must've made
a pretty hefty wish.

- Think it'll come true?

- Guess we'll just
have to wait and see.

- You know,
it's Christmas tomorrow.

- I already have
everything I want.
