♫ Santaland

- This was my mother's, your great-grandmother's.

- She gave it to you?

- Yes, and I'm giving it to you.

- Daddy didn't want it?

- Well, I don't think he'd like it very much.

I never had a daughter, so I want you to have it.

- I'm never taking it off.

- Oh, but I want you to.

To read it, to take its words to your heart,

that true beauty is here.

- I'm gonna write to Josh and tell him what you gave me.

- You'll see him soon enough at Santaland.

Your mother's letting me take you this year.

- I wanna write him.

I owe him a letter.

"Dear pen pal,

"I can't wait 'til I see you at Santaland this year.

"It's the only place that really

"feels like Christmas, besides Grammy's.

"I love the Santaland games,

"the Christmas trees, the animals,

"and especially all the Christmas treats.

"It always feels like magic.

"Mom says that Christmas is not important,

"I think it is.

"Grammy gave me a bracelet that's so pretty.

"I can't wait to show you.

"I hope it snows this year.

"Your pen pal forever, Belle."

- "Dear pen pal,

"This is gonna be the best Santaland ever,

"the moment you get here.

"I can't wait to see your new bracelet.

"Poppy said that we can be Joseph and Mary for the nativity.

"Isn't that cool?

"I got chores. Gotta go.

"Your pen pal, Josh."

♫ It's Christmas mornin'

♫ The birth of a king

♫ It's Christmas mornin'

I'm so glad you came back to Santaland this year.

- Me too.

- We're going to be the best Joseph and Mary.

- I hope I'm pretty enough.

- You're the prettiest girl I know.

Is that the bracelet your grandma gave you?

- Yep.

It's got sayings on it.

- "Beautiful is what's on the inside, made by God."

I like that.

It's true. All of it.

So, what do you want to be when you grow up?

I'm going to own this farm, like my father. Raise hogs.

- Really?

Aren't they really stinky?

- No, they're not that bad.

- You're just saying that.

- No, really.

So what do you want to be?

- My mother says I could be a fashion model,

but I don't know.

Maybe I could be a farmer, too.

- A fashion model farmer?

Sounds good to me.

- I'm not sure about the pigs, though.

- I'll take you to see 'em right now.

You'll see. They're great.

I could take your picture with them.

- Fashion model farmer?

- You're beautiful, Belle.

Give me another pose.

Great. Get up on the fence.

- Is this good?

- Yeah, get up higher.

I'll shoot you from down here.

Do another pose.

I'm so sorry, let me help you up!

- This is all your fault.

I wanna go home.

- Please, Belle, it's just mud.

- I'm so sorry, Josh.

She wants to go home and I can't change her mind.

You have a nice Christmas

and tell your father goodbye for me.

- Please Belle, don't go.

We still have to be Joseph and Mary in the nativity.

- I'm sorry.

I can't.

Not like this.

They laughed at me.

- Bye, Belle.

Don't forget to write.

Pen pals forever.

Merry Christmas.

- Why'd you send Grammy home?

- Because.

She brought you home like this.

- I'm sorry. Josh wanted me to see the pigs.

- What did I tell you about farms?

- You were right.

It was horrible.

The pigs. The people laughed at me.

- No one will be laughing at you anymore.

- I don't wanna be a farmer.

- Good.

Give me your shirt.

Ugh.

Ugh.

- My bracelet.

It's gone. No!

I loved that bracelet.

Grammy gave it to me.

- I know which one it was.

Costume jewelry.

Don't worry about it, Belle.

One day, these wrists will have diamonds on them.

Just you watch.

See how beautiful you are?

Your hair.

This face.

That smile.

- I know what I'm going to be when I grow up.

Beautiful, then everyone will love me.

- Belle, Belle, Belle.

- I know that look.

- What look?

- You get it when you're thinking about your looks.

- I'm fine, right?

I'm not getting too old for this, right?

- You're beautiful.

- Belle, Belle, Belle, Belle.

- Thank you, Brother Zhen, for coming in from China.

I love my gift.

- Okay.

Here I go.

If only my agents could keep me as successful

here in the States.

- You don't think agreeing to this campaign was a mistake?

- No, I don't make mistakes. You know that.

- Of course not. I'm sorry.

Other people make mistakes. Not me.

Are you sure I'm not aging out?

- Never. Don't even think that.

- All right.

- Belle, Belle, Belle, Belle,

Belle, Belle, Belle, Belle,

Belle, Belle, Belle, Belle.

- Here's what I wanna do.

I wanna start real New York.

- Where's the girl with the thing?

- It's a slate.

- She's already did it? All right.

- We love you, Belle!

- And action.

- I love finding love.

Real love.

- Can you give it a little more oomph please?

- Oomph? - Yes.

Connect with the animal. Hug the horse.

Embrace him. - Right.

- I love finding love.

Real love.

- Can we go back to one please?

Where's the girl with the thing?

The thing.

- Real Love, scene 11, take 37.

- Okay, this time, connect with horse.

Connect with the horse.

And action.

- I love finding love.

Real love.

- Cut!

The boom is in the shot!

- Cut!

- Real Love, scene 11, take 82.

Yeah.

- I love finding love.

Real love.

- Hold that look.

Hold it, stay with it.

Beautiful.

Oh, that's brilliant.

- Ew.

- Cut! Print! Moving on!

- Belle, Belle, Belle, Belle!

- Vinnie Scavo, you scallywag.

You had me here in a pink onesie

wearing heels, and the horse pees on me!

- Belle, baby.

You are a Christmas brand goddess.

By the time I'm done with you,

you're gonna own Christmas.

What's the S in my name stand for?

- Swine.

- Alexa, Alexa?

What's the S in my name stand for?

- Success.

- Success.

You get a raise. Wait, hold that.

I'm just kidding.

Listen, Speaking of swine, that onesie company

is starting a brand new marketing campaign: pigs.

- No pigs, no pigs, no pigs.

No, please, please, no pigs.

I hate pigs.

- Belle, baby.

Pigs. That's your future.

- I am not doing pigs!

- I'm not a pig.

- No pigs.

- Hashtag Christmas pigs and Belle.

- I hate you.

- I expect to get another angle or two.

- Belle, Belle, Belle.

- Hello?

- Hey, we've got a big problem.

- I'm sorry. Could you say that again?

- Just let me talk to Belle.

- You're so beautiful.

- It's Vinnie again, urgent.

- Vinnie, this better not be about pigs.

- Look, don't hang up.

Is there a jumbotron anywhere near you?

Looks like Rico has been having

too much fun in the sun without you.

Looks like the real swine is your fiance.

I'm so sorry, Belle.

- Hey Belle, why can't you be enough for your fiance?

A real woman would never get dumped.

- Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

- Belle.

Belle, can I have an autograph?

- Thank you.

- Belle, is it true that Rico dumped you?

- Taxi.

- It's all on the jumbotron.

Have you heard anything new, Belle?

How do you feel about that Belle?

- Over here. - Over here, come on Belle.

- You're my favorite.

- Quack, quack, quack, quack.

Now.

What else do we do before we go to bed?

We like to sing songs, right?

Let's sing a little song.

♫ The farmer and the Belle

- Dell.

♫ The farmer and the Belle

Dell.

♫ Hi-Ho the merry-oh

♫ The farmer and the Belle

I love you, sweetheart.

Look at mommy, making memories.

- Aww.

- When I grow up, I wanna marry a farmer.

- You do?

And what kind of farmer are you going to marry?

- Um, a farmer.

He's gonna make me laugh just like you do.

- Hm, that's very sweet.

You make me smile and laugh, too.

You know that, kiddo?

- Where is that smile of yours, little Belle?

- Did you find anything else for me?

- Yes.

And no.

Look, what can I tell you?

They want you for the pig thing.

They think you're great with animals.

- Gee, thanks. But listen, I am not doing pigs.

That's final.

- All right, that's fine. Whatever you want.

But I also have some good news

and it has nothing to do with pigs.

- Your smoothie. - Thank you.

I have just received a firm offer

for you to become the official spokesperson

for nature's beauty.

Adult diapers.

Great pay, and you're perfect for the role.

- I'm sorry, what?

- What can I tell you, baby? You're aging out.

- I thought you told me that I wasn't aging out.

- I lied, because I love you.

Look, Belle, these are good offers.

You should think about 'em.

I'm not getting any phone calls and believe me,

I've been trying.

You know you're still my favorite, right?

- I'm sorry, Vinnie. I gotta go.

How is it that you know exactly when I need you?

- I was hungry. Thought you'd like to go out for dinner.

- I just got off phone with Vinnie,

and he told me I am aging out.

I just got offered an adult diaper job.

Adult diapers. - Oh, yuck.

What are you gonna do? - Adult diapers.

Am I really getting that old?

- Well, you're not 21 anymore.

- You're supposed to help me feel better.

Who's gonna love me when my beauty's gone?

- It's not about looks.

Beauty is what's on the inside.

I'm sorry. What did you say?

- Beauty is what's on the inside.

- Yeah.

That was on a bracelet that I lost.

- What bracelet?

You lost a bracelet and you didn't tell me?

- No, I lost it when I was 10 at Santaland.

My Grammy gave it to me and it had inscriptions on it

that have a pathway to true beauty and real love.

- It's got sayings on it.

- "I am valuable.

"Magnificent masterpiece."

- Maybe it really does have the answers.

- What answers?

Santaland? You're not making sense.

Are you okay?

- No, I'm not.

I need to find that bracelet.

I'm going to Georgia.

- Georgia?

You realize this is crazy.

- Yes.

- You need to stay here and focus

on your career in New York.

Going anywhere else would be a mistake.

- I don't make mistakes.

You won't believe this, but the airline lost my luggage.

It's a complete disaster.

Anyways, do you have any better luck for me?

Santaland? Nope.

I mean, I couldn't find anything online.

It's like Santaland doesn't exist.

Are you sure you didn't dream it?

- And if Josh, my pen pal didn't stop writing me,

we would at least have his last name

and then we could search for that.

But my rideshare driver says he thinks he knows where it is.

- You're trusting a ride share driver

to drive you in the country at night?

- Yeah.

It's Georgia. It's fine.

Isn't it?

- Yeah.

- I'll put my GPS on.

- Hey Josh, hand me a couple more red bows.

- We got it.

Oh we're making some good progress.

I just really hope that this year isn't the last year.

- 87 years is a good run.

- I am grateful for all the years we did have.

- Well I just don't understand,

why can't we keep Santaland open?

- That's pretty simple Rowdy.

We just aint makin' enough money

to support the farm and Santaland.

- Well it's not a done deal. - Yeah.

- Just gotta have a little faith.

- Yeah, well, I do.

- I do too.

- Excuse me.

Sorry to interrupt.

- You look like a Christmas tree ornament.

- Who me?

Actually, I'm looking for Santaland.

- Well, you found it.

Hey, Rowdy's the name.

But Santaland doesn't open 'til Saturday so uh,

you're gonna have to wait.

- Is there something we can help you with?

- Maybe.

I lost something a long time ago and I,

this might sound really weird,

but I wanted to look for it to see if I could find it?

It's really important to me.

Did you not understand me?

- I know who you are.

You're that model. Jubilee Cosmetics.

- Belle Winters.

- Yes. And you are?

- You don't look like a model.

You look regular.

Well, I like regular.

- Regular's good.

- Nice to have you here, Ms. Winters.

I hope you can find what you're looking for.

- Thank you.

- But it's dark.

Do you have a place to stay?

- You know, I didn't even think about lodging

or food or...

- Lucky for you, we have both.

So you don't have to worry.

- Thanks.

- Follow me.

- Okay.

How'd the cold miss you?

It's snowing like crazy in New York.

- Yeah, it looks like it's going to be

another short sleeve Christmas for us.

So what did you lose?

Are you sure it was here?

- Yeah, it was my bracelet, and yes, I am sure.

- Bracelet?

How long ago?

- Wow, I remember this.

I was about 10 or so.

- 25 years.

- Josh.

Is that you?

- Yep.

- How could you do that?

You knew it was me back there by the fire.

Why didn't you tell me it was you?

- You didn't seem to know and,

with as famous as you are, you've met thousands

of people since and I didn't wanna

embarrass myself in case you forgot me.

- Forgot you?

We were pen pals. - Until we weren't.

Do you have any luggage?

- No, the airline lost it all.

- Well, I have guests.

The light doesn't work inside,

but you can use my flashlight.

- It's good to see you too, Belle.

I'm so sorry I stopped writing, Belle.

The least you could do, Josh, is keep the place up.

♫ I've been looking for my mojo ♫

♫ I've looked here and there

♫ I've been lookin' for my mojo ♫

♫ Have you see it anywhere

Hi Cassidy.

Oh, the bracelet was not in the cabin.

I'm not gonna leave until I find it.

Josh said that I could stay,

so I will keep you updated.

Okay? Thanks.

Bye.

- I got it.

♫ I've been looking for my mojo ♫

♫ I've looked here and there

♫ I've been lookin' for my mojo ♫

♫ Have you seen it anywhere

Okay ladies, you've had your fun.

Yah, yah, shoo.

Shoo, ha-yah, ha-yah!

Ha-yah!

- They were attacking me.

- Well lucky for you, they're not woman eating cows,

so you're safe.

- You could've fooled me.

- Well, what are you doing out here?

- I was trying to get back to the house.

I'm not staying at that cabin.

- Your sense of direction is way off

and I never intended for you to stay in the cabin.

I thought you just wanted to look around.

- No.

- All right, come on.

What's that smell?

I'm coming.

- Wait.

Those boots are filthy.

Wait here.

- My favorite boots.

Joshua Carpenter! What are you doing?

- There we go, all clean.

- You did that on purpose.

- Well, it certainly wasn't an accident.

I mean just because we live in a farm house,

doesn't mean we want the farm inside the house.

Okay, so you can clean up through there.

You'll sleep in here

and there's some clothes in the closet

that should fit you.

- That's convenient.

- Convenient for you, maybe.

Goodnight, Belle.

- Goodnight, Josh.

It's good to see you again.

- Divine Beauty?

Hm.

- Here you go, boy.

- Mornin', Poppy. - Well mornin', Pumpkin.

Smells yummy.

- Yeah, it'll be ready in a couple of minutes.

- Okay.

♫ A dame has lost a shoe

Hi mommy, I just want to call

to say I miss you and I love you.

- Adele, what are you doing?

- Follow me!

What did you do?

- See. I caught a robber.

- Belle, this is Adele.

Adele, this is Belle, and she's not a robber.

- Hi.

- Well, she looks like one to me.

- Breakfast is ready.

- I didn't know you had a daughter.

- Well 25 years is a long time to catch up on,

and last night didn't feel like the right time.

- How does my Poppy know you?

- Oh, we know each other from a long time ago.

From Santaland.

- I love Santaland. I don't want it to go away.

- Well it's not going anywhere, honey.

Not if I have a say, okay? - Okay.

So Adele, how old are you?

- Seven, almost eight, next month.

- Adele, why don't you go get changed?

I'll clean up after you.

- Okay.

- You look like a robber to me, but I'm glad you're not.

- Does she have a mom?

- She did.

Mandy.

My wife.

She passed away a few years back.

- I'm sorry.

- Yeah, it's been really hard on Adele

not having a mother.

- You know, she said something about Santaland going away?

That's the second time I heard that. What's going on?

- Well, what she means is that

if we don't raise 75,000, this year will be the last year.

- Are people not coming?

- Well, fewer and fewer.

I guess they're just looking for something more modern.

And that's just something we don't offer.

Did you really come back here

after all this time to search for a bracelet?

- I have to.

- Why?

- I really don't know.

Honestly, I, it just hit me after all these years

that I really need its message.

And I know I need to find it if I can.

- It does, did, have a good message.

- You remember that?

- Hard to forget.

Excuse me, I have some things to tend to.

- Wow.

She's pretty.

- We'll go get a tree.

But first, don't you wanna get cleaned up

so that you can be beautiful when we go shopping?

- But you said I'm always beautiful.

- And you are always beautiful.

But, you've got so much mud on your face,

I can barely see you.

- Hi.

What?

- Nothing.

We need to go change.

- Wait, what's the matter?

- You look like my mommy, except she has black hair.

- That's not at all what I'm trying to do.

- It's okay.

They look good on you.

So, do you wanna go Christmas tree shopping with us?

- Oh no. I don't want to impose on family time.

Plus, I really need to find my-

- You should come, it's lots of fun.

The last thing we do is decorate the tree.

- Okay.

- Yay!

- Thanks.

I really enjoy seeing her happy.

- This place is so busy.

I can't believe how many people are out here,

even in the rain.

They're really doing some good business.

- Yeah, they are.

Hey, maybe I should plant some and start sellin' 'em.

- Poppy, Poppy, I found a good one.

Come on! - Oh.

- Here. - Oh, thanks.

Ooh.

Miss Winters. - Hi.

- Hi. - You can call me Belle.

- Hi. We didn't officially meet the other night.

I'm Josh's friend, Kathie.

Going to the annual Christmas tree farm?

- Yes.

Apparently so.

Adele invited me and Josh should be over-

Oh!

I'm so sorry.

- It's okay.

I shouldn't sneak up on you like that.

- Uh, you all find a tree yet?

- Adele found one that she liked,

I just have to pay for it.

Excuse us.

- Okay.

Are you lookin' for a tree too?

- Yes, for the front of the church, uh, barn.

But don't tell Josh. It's a surprise.

- Wait, Josh?

Why would a tree in front of a church

be a surprise to Josh?

- Okay. Pastor Josh, but he really doesn't like it

when we call him that.

- Pastor?

Josh?

- Oh, he didn't tell you.

- No. He neglected to mention that.

- I'm sure he would've gotten around to it.

Gran Poppy told me you two had a history.

- Yeah, we were pen pals. - Oh.

- And then for whatever reason, he stopped writing

and he didn't answer any more of my letters,

but that was over 20 years ago.

- Well, did you ask him why he stopped writing?

- No.

- If you want to know, ask him.

♫ Just gotta admit

♫ This is the most beautiful time of the year ♫

♫ Not just 'cause the snow is falling ♫

♫ Oh, smiles, laughter, joy

♫ Good tidings and cheer

♫ Not just 'cause the birds are callin' ♫

♫ Oh, and even though every day ♫

♫ I celebrate the reason for Christmas ♫

♫ I still just can't help myself ♫

♫ I'm having the most beautiful time of the year ♫

- Well howdy Miss Belle. - Oh.

This place looks good.

- Oh yeah.

Well I'm just putting these bells back.

I set them out every week for services.

- For services? - Yeah. It's a church.

- Oh, that's right. Kathie did say barn.

Eh, this place works.

- Oh yeah.

People come from miles around to hear Josh

talk about the Bible.

- But they don't come for Santaland?

- Well they do, just not enough.

- Hm.

Did you ever see a bracelet in here?

- Nope. Can't say that I have.

Now if somebody did find it,

they'd have turned it into lost and found.

- Oh, do you know where lost and found is?

- Well Josh's mom used to keep it, before she passed.

I don't know who does it now.

- Okay, would you mind if I just look around?

- No, help yourself.

- All right, thanks.

- Yay!

- All right, got a little bit more coming.

- Thanks Gran Poppy. - Oh, you got it.

- Will you help us?

- You know, I think I'd like that a lot.

Thanks Adele.

- Look Poppy. You gave me this last year.

- That's right, I did.

- I think you're beautiful.

- Oh.

Honey, thank you.

- Okay.

Being beautiful is about more than just that, Adele.

- I know, I was just playing.

- Okay.

- Poppy says you get to be beautiful on TV and magazines.

- You know, I used to, a lot.

Not so much anymore.

But thank you Pastor Josh.

Mmm.

- Uh, yeah. I would have told you.

- I'm sure you would.

- So did you find your bracelet?

- Nice change of subject and no, I didn't.

Do you know where your mother kept the lost and found?

- I do, but I don't think that you'll find anything there.

- Well I'd like to try.

I mean, and also maybe you could

help me out with some things.

Obviously I don't know anything about you

and you know so much about me.

- Sure.

But we have a tree to finish.

- Okay. I'm ready.

You know, I haven't decorated a Christmas tree since,

I think since I was last here.

- Oh, I find that sad.

- So do I.

- Then let's fix it.

- Yay!

- Okay.

- All right.

And that's it. Okay.

- I hope that's the last of it.

- Okay.

- How do you do it?

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

♫ Heavenly bliss

♫ It doesn't get any better than this ♫

♫ Than you and me

♫ And the Christmas tree

- Belle.

Hey, come with me.

- Oh.

Thanks.

- Welcome to the lost and found.

All my mom's stuff is here.

Gran Poppy and I haven't gone through in it since,

well, since she passed.

- Wow.

- You're welcome to take a look.

- Thanks.

- Have fun.

- Josh?

Can I ask you something?

Why did you stop writing?

We were supposed to be pen pals forever.

- It was you that stopped writing.

I mean, do famous models even have pen pals?

- Me?

It was your turn.

- No, it was your turn. - No, it was your turn.

- It was a long time ago.

I don't mean to argue with you.

And if you want to blame me, I understand.

It's getting late and I need to pry Adele off that couch

and get her to bed.

- Hi. How's the bracelet hunt?

- Not good.

- Is your old pen pal still there?

- Yes, he is.

Get this: he is a widower, a father, a farmer, and a pastor.

- Is he cute?

- Yeah, he is cute.

But I can't get a read on him yet.

Oh, I gotta go.

I'll call you later. Bye.

- You doing okay?

- Yeah.

Got three finished.

♫ There's nothing sweeter

♫ Nothing better

♫ There's nothing sweeter

- Nothin'.

Well, it's getting pretty late.

I think I'm going to turn in.

After chores tomorrow, I have to finish

setting up Santaland.

- Mm. Well, maybe I can help you with that.

- Really? - Yeah.

I mean, you've been helping me with all of this,

it's the least I can do.

- I wish I could help you more.

- Well, my eyes are getting tired, too,

so I should probably go to bed myself.

Is that?

- Josh.

It's one of the charms from my bracelet.

"I am valuable.

"Magnificent masterpiece.

"Beautiful body and soul and marvelously made."

That means that my bracelet has to be here someplace.

Oh, Josh.

♫ Pen pals forever

I'm not aging out.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

What time is it?

- Six o'clock.

Poppy said you could sleep in.

- Six in the morning?

Honey, that's the middle of the night.

- Poppy said you were going to help us

with chores and then Santaland.

- Yes.

I did.

- Yay.

- I didn't say anything about chores.

- Oh, good morning.

We'll get started once you finish eating.

- Oh no, I don't normally eat or get up this early,

so not really hungry.

- Oh, okay.

Adele, why don't you find something for

her to change into and then we'll

get started with the chickens.

- Chickens?

- Okay, Poppy.

- I'm sorry. You didn't say anything about chickens.

- I think I remember somebody

telling me a long time ago that they wanted to be a farmer.

- Note to self. Josh remembers everything.

- How do you do it? - Just shake it.

- Here you go.

Ooh.

It licked me!

- Ah.

Okay. Okay.

Adele, help me.

- But you forgot to feed them.

Ugh. I don't actually have to touch the pigs, right?

- No, you just pour some slop in there.

- Okay.

- You ready to do this?

- Oh sure, yeah right, everything.

I'm ready for anything.

What is this?

- Slop.

It's super squishy.

- Ugh, here, you just take it.

- What, you don't-

- Ugh, stop, Josh!

Ew, it's not the first time I've fallen in mud.

Ugh.

- Not the only bad memory of our time together.

- Yeah.

Well there is a lot of good memories, too.

Ew.

Gross.

- It's looking good.

So how's it going with Belle?

- Goin'? - Yeah.

There's a spark between y'all. I've seen it.

Oh yeah, you still have feelings for her.

- We don't have anything in common.

- Well sounds to me like you're just

looking for reasons to keep her away.

- I have reasons. All of 'em mine.

She's uh...

- Is there something else going on?

- Yes.

And I have no idea what I'm gonna do about it.

- Well, you know what? You're a preacher.

You could pray about it.

- Believe me, I have.

I think I'm just fightin' God's answer.

- Last one.

Please be in here.

Oh no.

No.

Oh, mother. What did you do?

- Belle?

It's time to get ready for supper.

It's special tonight.

- Okay, honey. I'll be right down.

I'm just gonna change, okay?

- Okay.

- Lord, we thank you for today and for another year.

You give us joy in our trials and family

to help us weather the storms.

This...

This farm has been in our family for over a hundred years,

87 of those years, we have shared the Christmas season

with family, neighbors, friends,

and may you give us many, many more.

Amen.

- Amen. - Amen.

- Amen.

- Josh.

I think it's time that I,

I pass on this lighter to you.

- Really?

- Yeah.

It's probably something I should've

done a long time ago, but,

now it's yours to carry on the family tradition

of ushering in the spirit of Christmas.

- Thanks, Pop.

- I love you, son.

- I love you, too. - Your mama loves you, too.

Go ahead and say it.

- Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.

Oh my goodness.

- He is quite the man.

- Yeah, it seems like it. - Mhm.

- I can't say I've been the best judge of character

when it comes to men.

- Well our judge of character is often

influenced by the way we see ourselves.

Do you know why we light the Christmas candle?

- Uh uh.

- It symbolizes the light of our savior,

welcoming his presence into our hearts,

no matter what we look like.

- Look like?

- Well people are what's on the inside,

not what's on the outside.

- Why would you say that?

- Oh sweetheart, because it's true.

And I think you need to hear it

and know it for yourself.

I'm gonna go see if I can help them in the kitchen.

- Wow. That's really good.

- Thanks. I've been drawing since I was three.

Poppy says I'm a national.

- You mean natural.

That means really good.

- Poppy says it's a God given talent.

- Oh. - Night, munchkin.

- Night Aunt Kathie.

Will you make Christmas cookies with me?

- I've never made a Christmas cookie in my life,

so I don't know if I'd be any good at it.

- Be right back, gotta go tell mama.

Hi mama. I made a new friend.

She's going to help me make Christmas cookies,

just like you used to.

I hope you don't mind.

Uh huh.

We're gonna make Christmas cookies

and they're gonna be sugar cookies and gingerbread cookies.

And we might make a gingerbread house.

I love you, and I miss you.

Okay.

Goodbye.

- So, what do we do first?

- Eggs.

- Can I juggle 'em?

- No.

That's a lot. - It is?

- That's way too much.

Hey.

Slower.

- Slow?

- Back. - What did we do?

Hello, hello.

- Squish. - Squish.

- Squish. - Squish.

- You did good. - Yes.

- Smooshing that out

- I'm so good.

So he's got a face like what up?

- What up?

- That's terrible.

This nozzle's not working.

- It's called a tip.

- Can I finger paint it?

- Yeah, finger paint it.

- Boop, boop.

Boop. - Hey!

- What other colors?

Oh, how about I do the rainbow?

Oh! - Hey!

- Look at that, those are good.

Those are good looking cookies.

What is this? - It's my favorite.

- It is?

You know, I've never read a story to a little girl before.

Okay.

Beautiful Mabel.

She's cute. - Mhm.

- Just like you.

"Mabel is a chick, soon to be a pullet,

"a young female chicken.

"And in one year she'll be a hen."

Bok-bok-bok-bok-bok.

"Mabel, my dear Mabel.

"Your beauty is not just how you look on the outside,

"but by the things you do and who you are on the inside.

"And above all these things,

"you are beautiful because God made you special,

"unique, one of a kind, that no one else can compare to.

"You, Mabel, are..."

- Beautiful.

- The end.

Well, I guess- - Yeah big day tomorrow.

I spent a lot of time praying.

We need a miracle to save Santaland.

- Well miracles do happen.

- They sure do.

You came back.

- Do you mean that?

- I never say anything I don't mean.

- I owe you big apology.

- You do?

For what?

- The last box in the attic.

I found all the pen pal letters you sent me

that I never got.

- You did?

But, that doesn't make any sense.

- Sure it does.

My mother sent them back without letting me know about them.

And I guess your mom didn't want you to get hurt.

I can understand that.

- No, I don't.

Why would my mom do that?

- Because she loved you.

My mom loved me, too.

She was just trying to protect me.

She had ideas about beauty and love that I bought into.

- Life is nothing without love and forgiveness.

Forgiveness truly lifts all of that weight.

- Is that the pastor in you speaking?

- That's the friend who cares deeply about you speaking.

And a little pastor.

- Thank you. For so much.

Well, I think- - Yeah, well...

Goodnight, Belle.

- Goodnight pen pal, and watch out for those miracles.

- Hello? - Hi Vinnie.

- Belle! - So tell me the truth.

How much goodwill do I still have out there?

- It depends. What do you want?

- Favors.

- And what do I get in return?

- I'll do the adult diaper job.

- Fabulous. That's really great.

You're not gonna regret this.

- Actually I will regret it, but it's for a good cause.

Vinnie, Vinnie.

Vinnie.

Will you sit down and stop celebrating?

- Okay, I'm all yours. Shoot.

- Now for what I need.

Okay.

Okay. As soon as you can make it.

Oh, I appreciate it so much.

Okay thanks, John.

- Wow. You're up early this morning.

- Yes, I've been busy.

- Doing what?

- If I told you it wouldn't be surprise.

All right, are you ready for this?

- I'm not so sure.

Who wants to kiss an old man?

- You underestimate yourself.

- It's gonna take more than that.

- Mm, ye of little faith.

- Oh, Martha, forgive me.

- Are you open yet?

- Yeah.

On three.

One, two-

That works.

Next.

- He looks famous.

- I don't know about him, but isn't that Belle Winters?

- The model? Here in Georgia?

At Santaland? No way.

- I think it is.

Hey, are you Belle Winters?

- Yes, hi everybody.

This is Brother Zhen.

He is a celebrity makeup sent in from China.

I'm the face of his makeup line,

and today he is doing a makeup booth,

starting with you two.

Great, okay, come.

Let's go.

- Belle, what's going on?

- This is my first step of saving Santaland.

Come on, girls.

- What is she doing, Poppy?

- I have no idea.

- Okay.

- Do you wanna get your makeup done?

- Yeah. - No, you're too young.

- Hey.

- This is amazing. Thank you so much.

Oh, it's getting ready to start.

Come on, let's go. ♫ Santaland

♫ Santaland, it's a Christmas only thing ♫

♫ Where ho-ho hats always stay in style ♫

♫ Santaland, Santaland

♫ Oh it's better than a dream

♫ It's the place where everybody smiles ♫

♫ There are toys beneath the trees ♫

♫ There is is joy, there is peace ♫

♫ In Santa

♫ Santaland

- Good morning everybody.

Welcome to the 87th annual Santaland celebration!

Y'all know what time it is?

- Santaland games!

- Oh, I remember the Santaland games.

- You know about them? Did you ever do them?

- Oh no, honey. That's not something Belle would ever do.

Not in a million years.

- Would you like me to?

- I'll cheer for you.

- Okay, who are you, and what did you do

with the real Belle?

- I am the real Belle.

It just took me a while to find her.

- All right, everybody.

Welcome to our first competition it's the-

- Snow on the Christmas tree.

- That's right, everybody.

It is a Southern snowball competition.

The first one hit the star wins.

Ready?

Aim.

- Fire!

- So close, Belle.

- We have a winner!

- Guys, I won!

- All right, thanks everybody.

We'll see you at the next competition.

All righty contestants, listen up.

This is the putting the Christmas presents

under the Christmas tree game.

You've gotta put three presents under the tree.

That catch?

You have to balance the presents on your head.

You ready?

On your mark,

get set.

Go!

Oh, look at that leader. She's in the lead.

- What is she doing, Poppy?

- She's channeling her inner runway.

- Yeah.

- She's wingin' it!

- Come on, Belle!

- Come on! Almost there!

She's almost there, she's gonna do it!

- We have a winner!

- Who knew I was a Christmas elf?

So what's next?

- Yeah!

Hoo yah!

- All right, the next competition is

decorating the Christmas pig.

- You've been in mud before.

- All right, you're right. This should be easy.

Okay.

- The first to get the Santa hat

on the pig gets the point.

Ready?

On your mark, get set-

- Soo-wah!

- Where were you? You're missing everything.

- Oh, I had to fix an electrical problem.

I'm here now. Where is she?

- Come here, piggy piggy.

- I won! I got one!

- Oh yeah!

- That's awesome.

All right, all contestants, go to your corners

and boy, this is a close one.

And by the tally, the winner of the

87th Santaland games is Miss Belle Winters.

I won! I won!

Guys, I won!

I won!

I'm so excited.

What time is it?

I gotta go see someone.

- See someone? - Excuse me.

Excuse me real quick.

I'll be right back.

♫ The glory of His righteousness ♫

♫ And wonders of His love

♫ And wonders of His love

♫ And wonders, wonders

- Beckah Shae, you got Beckah Shae?

Did you get her? - She's my friend.

It's all part of the plan.

- God bless you guys.

- Ready?

Let's do it.

Nice, thank you.

Hi.

- Thank you, Beckah Shae.

Now, ladies and gentlemen. - Oh, not you.

- Thanks. - Thank you.

- John Schneider!

- I'm so glad to be here. We're here for what?

To save Santaland.

So I wanna make sure you and you and you

and all of you out there have a holly, jolly Christmas.

Hit it guys.

♫ Have a holly, jolly Christmas ♫

♫ It's the best time of the year ♫

♫ Well I don't know if there'll be snow ♫

♫ But have a cup of cheer

♫ Have a holly, jolly Christmas ♫

♫ And when you walk down the street ♫

♫ Why don't you say hello to friends you know ♫

♫ And everyone you meet

♫ Oh, ho, ho, the mistletoe

♫ It's hung where you can you see ♫

♫ Somebody waits for you

♫ Why don't kiss her once for me ♫

♫ Have a holly, jolly Christmas ♫

♫ And in case you didn't hear

♫ Oh, by golly, have a holly jolly Christmas this year ♫

♫ Yeah

Thank you.

- So how's it goin', Gran Poppy?

- Eh.

- Yeah.

♫ Ho ho ho ho ho

- Hey, thank you very much.

Thank you folks.

Hey, how about a big round of applause?

I want to bring Beckah Shae back out

on stage right now, okay?

Come on Beckah!

Wow, I'm so thankful to be here.

I wanna thank the lovely Belle Winters

for inviting me to this fantastic event.

Belle.

By the way, you know that we are here to save Santaland,

and that means it is time to dig, and dig deep.

Becca, do you have a bucket there?

There we go. Becca has a bucket.

- Let's do this.

- One, two, three.

Thank you, Belle. - Yeah!

- Okay, here you go. Pass that around.

And how about another round of applause for Beckah?

Hey, thank you for being here.

Love it.

While you're filling the bucket up,

I thought I'd do a little song for you right now

called The Spirit of Christmas.

It goes like this.

♫ The Christmas lights are burning bright ♫

♫ To tell you and me

♫ A child was born one Holy night ♫

♫ For all to receive

♫ Now everywhere, love's in the air ♫

♫ Like the falling snow

♫ God put it there, for us to share ♫

♫ So just let it show

♫ You can't wrap in paper

♫ Put it under a tree

♫ But the spirit of Christmas

♫ You still get for free

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Remember, the spirit of Christmas is free.

Hey Josh, what are you doing?

Nice to see you here.

- John Schneider everybody!

- Ah, thank you, thank you.

- Thank you so much. - I appreciate it.

- Oh. So glad to have everybody here.

A big round of applause for John Schneider and Beckah Shae!

- Remember, give big. Give big.

- Thank you so much for coming out to save Santaland.

Thank you, Belle Winters.

Make sure you guys come back tonight,

right here, in the barn, for the dance

and thank you so much for coming.

Oh, and come back tomorrow for our annual

nativity pageant right here when we turn

this thing into a cowboy church.

Thank you guys so much.

The band, you were amazing.

Thank you guys.

Oh.

So, will you be my date to the dance?

- Like this?

I think I need to clean up a little.

- No, like this is just fine.

- No, I really need to go change-

- No.

Clothes only.

I'm beginning to like this new Belle a lot.

- Clothes only.

I thought you might like it.

- I think like is a massive understatement.

- Shall we?

Where's Adele?

- Oh, I gave her and Gran Poppy the evening together.

- Smart man.

- May I?

- I'd love to.

Josh, this is amazing.

No one had ever treated me like this before.

- No way.

You?

Everyone must love you.

- I am a meal ticket to most of them,

or a way for them to advance their own careers.

♫ I've already tried to give up ♫

♫ To run, but there's nowhere to hide ♫

You know, I thought that if I could be

physically beautiful enough, everyone would love me.

- And?

- Well, my career's only as good as my looks,

and that's not good enough anymore.

That's why I came here,

hoping that if I could find that bracelet,

it would make me beautiful again.

- But you are beautiful in every way, inside and out.

You don't need a bracelet for that.

Maybe...

Maybe the bracelet was needed elsewhere.

Hey.

I want to show you something. - Okay.

- Come with me.

- I remember this.

- Hold on.

- Oh, it's so beautiful.

Josh, it's snowing.

This is the best night ever.

- I agree with that.

So, what are your plans?

What's next for you?

- Oh, I have to go back to Manhattan.

- Why?

- Well, it's where I live and where I work.

Why?

Are you asking me to stay?

- I'm asking to see where this goes.

- Well, I came here looking for something

I haven't found yet.

- Well, maybe you found it and you just don't know it.

- It's probably all a dream anyways.

All of this.

Are you sure you want this?

You have a family, a daughter,

a church you're responsible for, Santaland.

I mean, you have a lot on your plate.

- And I'm also a man.

Alright, I'll come back.

I promise.

Oh.

Hi, Cass.

I just had the best night of my life.

- Yeah, I know.

You're burning up the internet.

- What? How?

- Social media postings of all kinds

of photos and comments of you saving Santaland.

I couldn't believe what I saw.

Up to your rear in mud,

Christmas gifts on your head,

dancing with the very good looking man

getting celebrities there with no publicity for yourself.

The media is all over it tonight.

- Oh, you're kidding.

- Someone opened a crowdfunding page for Santaland

and it's going crazy.

- That is fantastic.

- It's amazing.

Everyone loves you.

- No, I'm not doing this so people will love me.

- Okay.

- Oh and that guy I was dancing with?

That was Josh.

- The pen pal?

- Yes. The pen pal.

My mother sent back all the letters.

The letters, oh, I haven't even read the letters.

I'm gonna call you back. Bye.

What's that?

Aww.

A note for his wife.

"Mandy, I thought you can use the message here."

Oh.

"I pray for your healing every day.

"I love. Josh."

I don't believe this.

- Are you okay?

- No.

You lied to me.

I thought- - I can explain.

It wasn't personal.

It's something I've been struggling with.

Been praying about it.

- Everything except for being straight

with the one person you needed to.

You. Take this.

I'm taking my bracelet and I am leaving tomorrow.

- You don't have to go. I can explain.

Honest.

The bracelet is what kept Mandy alive longer.

I found it years ago.

And when I never heard from you...

Mandy got sick.

I thought giving it to her

would have been the right thing to do.

- I'm glad that it helped Mandy, I'm really glad.

But you broke my trust in you.

You knew it was there this entire time.

All you had to do was give it to me.

- Then you would've left.

- Well I have it now and I am leaving.

So it looks like you were right.

- Can't we just talk about this some more?

It wasn't just about Mandy. It was for Adele, too.

- Oh, wow.

You're bringing Adele into this?

I love her, but bringing her into this, that's low, Josh.

Leave me alone and don't talk to me until I go.

- Poppy, Belle's door is locked

and she won't answer when I knock.

- Honey, you need to leave Belle alone right now.

- Is she not coming to church with us today?

- No.

Not today.

Come on, let's finish getting ready.

- Hi Cass.

Yeah. Meet me at the entrance in an hour.

I'll be there.

- Well, I hope you stay for the nativity service.

After all, it is the reason for the season.

I have a confession to make.

I deliberately misled someone that I care about

in order to protect the memory of another who's gone.

Not forgotten.

But gone.

- "I am generous.

"Joyful giver.

"True beauty is serving others.

"Make yourself attractive by doing acts of love.

"Use whatever gift you've received to serve others."

- To read it, to take its words to your heart

that true beauty is here.

- Hi, this is Belle winters again.

Can I uncancel my cancellation for the deal?

I know, I was rash and wrong to cancel it.

Forgive me, but I, I still wanna buy it, if that's okay.

Thank you. That's good.

I'll meet you there as planned.

Okay, bye.

Josh, if it's you, please just let me be.

- It's Adele. Belle, please, I need you.

- Aren't you just so adorable?

If your father sent you...

- We don't have a donkey for the nativity.

Could you do it please?

- Um... - We had a no show.

- If you don't wanna do it, it's okay.

I just wanted it to be you. You're a real model.

- You don't waste much time, do you?

I just read some good advice,

to use whatever gift you have to serve others.

- My mommy used to say that, from her bracelet.

- Let me get changed.

- Yeah.

God sent the Angel Gabriel, to tell a Virgin, Mary-

- That's our cue. - "You're highly favored,

"and you'll give birth to a son,

"and you will call him Jesus."

Mary, betrothed to Joseph, and with child,

went to his hometown of Bethlehem,

but there was no room at the inn.

So they found space in a nearby manger.

- Beautiful isn't she?

- Oh, absolutely.

I just wish Belle was here to see it.

- See it?

She's up there.

- What?

- Gifts of gold and frankincense.

- The donkey. - Mhm.

- No way. - She volunteered.

- On that night, that silent night.

♫ Silent night

♫ Holy night

♫ All is calm

♫ All is bright

♫ Round young virgin mother and child ♫

♫ Sleep in heavenly peace

♫ Sleep in heavenly peace

- Yeehaw!

- You're Josh, right?

- Yeah. Hi.

Can this wait? I need to go see someone.

- I've got some papers for you to sign, to make it legal.

She said it had to be done right away.

- She? Who?

- Uh, the lady. Belle.

Belle Winters.

- What's this about?

- Belle, Belle, Belle.

Why do you have to leave?

- Honey, my time here is done.

I'm gonna miss you, but I have to go.

- No, you have to stay.

- Honey, if it was remotely possible, I would.

- She bought the Christmas tree farm?

- And put it in your name so that the income from it

could be used to save Santaland.

- I'm speechless.

- I want you to remember me.

- I'm gonna go get Poppy. He'll stop you.

- Adele, no.

- I'm speechless.

I can't believe this.

Thank you.

Thank you so much. - Don't thank me.

It's a great deal. - Poppy, Poppy, Poppy.

Belle's leaving. You have to get her back.

- All right, well let's go get her back.

♫ I've had it, I'm out of this town ♫

- Thank you for coming, Cassidy.

I know you didn't have to. - What?

And miss being with the hottest celebrity on the planet?

- I don't want to be the hottest celebrity.

I just wanna go home.

♫ I'm never, ever, ever comin' back ♫

- Oh, please, no autographs.

This is her private space.

- I brought you some reading material for your flight home.

I like you, Belle.

Josh likes you a lot more.

I think deep down, you like him.

Read that.

Maybe it'll open your eyes to what he was going through.

It doesn't excuse what he did by any means,

but it'd shed some much needed light as to why.

And I mean this: it was a genuine pleasure

getting to know the real you.

♫ I can't wait to leave you in the dust ♫

- Okay, we're ready to go now.

♫ The makeup, the Botox, the runways ♫

- She's gone.

- I'll pack your bag.

- If you want her, you need to tell her.

- I don't want her. Do you want her, Poppy?

- I do, sweetheart.

I do. ♫ Ever comin' back

♫ 'Cause I'm never, ever, ever comin' back ♫

- I'm worried about you. You didn't want any publicity?

Thank goodness for social media.

- I did what I did because it was the right thing to do.

Privately.

I'm kind of sorry that it even got out.

I have a good therapist.

- You better think carefully before you say anything else.

- Okay, now I'm really worried. Are you okay?

- I've never been better in my life,

and no, I'm not, okay.

- That makes zero sense. - Does to me.

- "Today was a good day.

"Josh is so loving and supportive.

"I know his heart is breaking and Adele

"doesn't seem to understand that I'll be gone soon.

"I just pray she'll be okay.

"The charm bracelet Josh gave me

"has helped me more than I can ever say.

"The words on the charm are like a roadmap to true beauty.

"When she's old enough, I want Adele to have it

"and understand its meaning.

"If I can leave her that, I've done my job as a mother."

- I made a mistake.

- What? You?

You made a mistake?

- No, I didn't make a mistake.

- Okay, that's the Belle I know.

- I made a huge mistake.

Turn this thing around.

Please take me back to Santaland.

Shh.

- They're in Josh's room right now

packing these bags to go and find you.

Come on.

It's all you, buddy.

- We're looking for socks.

He doesn't have enough socks.

- Hurry, get your daddy.

I think I heard a robber in your mama's room.

- A robber?

- You bet Mandy. I'll make sure Adele gets the bracelet.

- Belle?

- Yes, Josh is wonderful.

Sometimes he's not so smart, though.

- Belle.

- Shh. Can't you see I'm on the phone?

I promise I'll take very good care of both of them.

Bye, Mandy.

You gonna help me out of here or what?

- Come on.

- I owe Aunt Kathie a huge thank you.

- Oh yes.

- I did a lot of dumb things.

- Oh yes.

But Mandy made me understand them.

You also did a lot of good things, too.

- I meant everything I said last time we were here.

- So did I.

- You are beautiful, you know that?

The way you are with Adele.

The way you saved the nativity scene

even though you were furious with me.

The Christmas tree farm, John Schneider, Beckah Shae?

You saved Santaland,

because you are beautiful.

♫ Country boy, beauty queen

♫ Hung my heart on a Christmas wreath ♫

♫ It's true

♫ You got me crazy about you

♫ I think I saw you in a dream

♫ A fairytale on you complete

♫ Who knew

♫ Real love could shine through ♫

♫ The world can tell

♫ Feels like we fell

♫ Fell, fell

♫ Under a spell

♫ The farmer and the Belle

♫ The farmer and the Belle

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ And a happy new year

♫ Good tidings we bring

♫ To you and your kin

♫ Good tidings for Christmas

♫ And a happy new year

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ And a happy new year

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ And a happy new year

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ We wish you a Merry Christmas ♫

♫ And a happy new year

- Wonderful. Merry Christmas everybody!

That's awesome.
