- Merry Christmas!
Ah! Don't you two look dazzy this morning.
- Thanks. - Hi, girls!
- Hi! - Hey, Clem!
- Hi! Good morning! - Morning!
- I'll see you guys after work! - OK.
- Check this out! - Hi!
- Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas!
- Clementine, you're early. Interns don't usually
show up till 9. - When there's new trampolines
that need fixing? - Oh, well. We've got
another problem to deal with. - A problem?
- Mm-hmm. Just look. - The thing is
the zing of these balls is too much.
- I see.
- I guess we'll have to scratch that whole batch.
(Clem sighs.) - Unless...
What if we cut these in half
and attach them to the bottom of a shoe?
- I don't follow. - Well, cut in half
is half the bounce. And for kids who play hoop,
that's a perfect amount of spring in their step.
- Well done, Clem! - Thanks, Blizzby.
♪♪♪
(indistinct conversations)
- There you go. - Dazzy.
(indistinct conversations)
- Yes, please. (elves laughing)
- Good work today, Clem. Interns don't usually
invent new products. - Well, the way I see it,
a problem is just a snowball waiting for a target.
(chuckling)
- Maybe that's why word gets around.
- (elf): Look, it's Santa! - (Santa): Clementine!
- Later, guys! - I heard you did a good job today.
You march to your own glockenspiel, Clementine.
(chuckling) - Thank you, sir.
My mom says that if we had a snowflake for every new idea
that I chased, we'd have an avalanche on our hands.
(Clem and Santa laughing) - That's why I'm here today.
Uh, shall we go to my office and have a little chat?
(happy sigh) - I'd love that.
(wind whistling)
- As you know, getting around the world
in one night isn't easy.
The further my sleigh gets from Northpole's magic,
the more power we need.
- Well, you do log in a lot of frequent-flyer miles.
- Which is why we built the power stations.
Without those points of magic around the globe,
my journey would be impossible.
So, Clementine,
what do you say to another special mission?
- I'd be totally iced.
- Well, there's a woman down south who's at a crossroads.
She inherited one of our stations,
an old hotel that's gone dark.
- Vermont. I hear it's beautiful this time of the year.
- If its magic isn't lit up by Christmas Eve,
well, I think you know what's at stake here.
- How much does she know?
- Nothing. - How much can I tell her?
- I'm afraid she's gonna have to come
to certain realizations herself.
Needless to say, this will be
the greatest challenge you've ever faced.
- I'm honoured, sir.
(eager sigh) And I'm in.
- (Santa): Haha! Her name is Mackenzie Warren.
- Pretty, but no.
This, I can sell.
Oh...
"18 carats."
Worth more melted down.
Something to think about.
Well, that's interesting.
Bella, would you mind standing up?
Early 16th century Elizabethan
in really good condition. - Oh, that's not
for sale, Mackenzie.
- Oh, I understand your hesitancy,
and you'll excuse me for saying,
but if there's one thing I've learned in my 20 years
of appraising estates and property...
these are just things.
A month from now, you'll be living in Boca Raton,
swimming and playing golf, and this antique chair
could be collecting dust in a corner or pay your country-club use for a year.
- Maybe you're right. - Holding onto the past
keeps us from moving forward.
"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery,
and today is a gift." That's why they call it the present.
Oh!
Now, there's your kitchen makeover in Boca.
(Christmas music playing) (bell ringing)
- Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, folks! Merry Christmas!
- Good morning, Ed. - Morning, Mackenzie.
- Here you go: bagel, light cream cheese; coffee, black.
- You're the best. - Merry Christmas! - Merry Christmas!
- Thank you.
I'm available 24/7, night or day.
OK, thank you.
- Nice work on the Campbell estate.
That's why you're our number 1; you can talk people
out of anything. - Thank you, I think.
- Well, keep it up, you'll be the new me. That needs water.
- It's plastic. - Any plans for the holidays?
- Not really. Just going over inventory for the New Year's Day auction.
- I envy you. I have a minivan full of relatives coming in.
If you ask me, Santa has the right idea:
only visit people once a year. (Mackenzie chuckling)
Christmas party in the conference room, you're coming?
- And catch up with people I haven't seen in 20 minutes?
Of course. (black woman chuckling)
(birds singing)
(siren)
(sigh)
(doorbell ringing)
Can I help you? - Ms. Warren?
- Yes. - Peter Elfman, esquire.
We spoke on the phone about your aunt's estate.
- Oh yes, of course! Please come in. I'm Mackenzie.
- Thank you.
Nothing like the smell of a plastic Christmas tree.
(both laughing) - Would you like some coffee? - Oh, that would be lovely.
- Cream and sugar? - Just black.
Just moving in? - No, I haven't gotten around
to unpacking quite yet.
- How long have you lived here? - A year. I move a lot for work.
Six times in the last eight years,
so I have mastered the art of living out of boxes.
- Sounds like you haven't found a place you can call home yet.
- Well, let's just say I'm better at appraising homes
than I am living in them.
Please, sit down. - Oh, thank you.
- Here you go. - Aww, thank you.
- Why are you getting in touch now?
It's been almost a year since my aunt passed away.
- Yes, it's taken us this long
to organize her things. - Oh, well,
she always was a free spirit. - You two were close?
- Very. For a while.
I used to go to her inn
when I was a little girl every Christmas.
Ah, I loved that place...
and my aunt Grace most of all.
- It's my guess the feeling was mutual.
She left you an early Christmas gift.
The Northern Lights Mountain Inn.

- She left me the inn? - Indeed she did.
- Why me? I... I-I haven't spoken to her in a lifetime.
- Be that as it may, she chose you.
Paper's quite clear on that.
(sigh)
- I can't believe it.
That was so kind of her, but...
what am I gonna do with a hotel in the middle of nowhere?
- When was the last time you were there? - Second grade.
- Hmm... I'm afraid
it's lost a star or two in the guidebooks since then.
- Oh... Well, I suppose I'll have to sell it.
I guess there's a realtor up there I could call.
- Why don't you go up there and take a look at the place first.
Seeing something in person can open your eyes
to all sorts of possibilities.
- Well, you've given me a lot to think about.
- Well, don't take too long.
There's a large tax bill due at the first of the year.
Uncle Sam may have a beard, but he's no Santa Claus.

Merry Christmas.

My aunt Grace owned-- - The Northern Lights Mountain Inn?
- Oh, you know it then? - Every nook and cranny.
- It's not an English muffin, Ian.
I tried for years to get Grace to sell. That money pit
is a teardown just waiting to happen. - I couldn't disagree more.
- Well, I guess it's my money pit now.
- And you're not the country-innkeeper type.
- Ha! No. Actually, I'm the director of acquisitions
at Carlisle's New York. - Oh, then you know the value
of a good piece of property inside and out.
- Will you hand me the Allen wrench there? - What? Huh?
- Here you go. - Thanks.
You know your wrenches. - W.G. Allen filed the patent
for the original in 1909. Brought him five figures at auction.
- What can you tell me about the compound
sliding miter saw? - Not a lot.
- Too bad, I was about to propose.
(giggling) - Mackenzie,
the inn is a relic.
Except for your aunt's annual Christmas party,
the place has been pretty much empty for years.
On the bright side,
I do have a prospective buyer
who's interested in taking it off your hands as is.
- She's not selling it "as is". What I mean is
if you spruce it up a little, you'd get a better price.
- Better yet: you sell it right now, you'd be done with it.
- Then, the new buyer tears it down. This is a landmark!
- It's progress. - This is the history of our town!
- Don't listen to him; he's adverse to making money.
- Maybe I should see it first.
- Of course.
Give me a call when you do. - I will.
It was nice to meet both of you. - Yeah...
- Nice to meet you too.
- I'm done. - You fixed it?
- Nope. I recommend you tearing it down and buying a new one.
- Ha!
- Hey! I'll walk you to your car.

I apologize for him. He's always been pushy

Of course, I remember you. Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't

better looking over the years. - I couldn't agree more.
- Ha ha! Grace's lawyer said you might show up.
I'm glad you did. - Me too.
It's so quiet. - Yes, well,
we've lost some staff...
vacationers prefer the new resorts in town
these days, and locals may love this place
but they sleep in their own beds.
- Wilson, are you saying that I'm the only guest?
- Ah, you're not a guest;
you're family.
(Mackenzie laughing) Now, would you like
a little look around before I show you to your room?
- Oh, I would love that! Yes! - (laughing): OK.
Grace stayed on top of things,
but these last few years, well, we fell a little behind.
Oh, it's an old place and it's seen a little wear and tear.
- I see Aunt Grace's collections are still intact.
- Yeah, she acquired everything from hats to hammers.
If it was quirky and fun, she just had to have it.
- Oh, these bookends
could bring in a pretty penny.
- I suppose. They were there long before me.
- Hmm. No.
Maybe. No.
Ah! Kitsch!
Pretty, but worthless.

we've got to forget about the past and not get

But I had my dad and Aunt Grace.
- And now you have us. (Mackenzie chuckling)

Well, Aunt Grace always did like games.
- Me too! - Me three!
What kind? - Oh, my favourite game was the ribbon game.
On Christmas Eve, Aunt Grace would take a ribbon
and she would string it all through the hotel.
And I would chase it to see where the ribbon led.
- And where did it lead?
(Grace laughing)
- Aunt Grace, where does the ribbon lead?
- If you don't slow down, you'll miss it.
- You know, I don't remember. - Can we do it?

And we have a lot of work ahead of us.

Are those Christmas lights?
- Headlights.
- Looks like we have guests! Haha!
♪♪♪
(hushed): Wow!
I don't think we have enough candles.
- Don't worry, I've got something even better.
But I'm going to need your help, Jenny.
- Me?
- Yes! (giggling)
Come with me.
OK, take a handful
and throw it as high as you can.
♪♪♪ Mm-hmm.
- Where'd you get this stuff?
- I'll show you one day. Haha!

- Mr. Elfman! - My dear,
you've done wonders with this place!
- Mr. "Elf"-man!
(giggles)
- Mackenzie? It's him.
He's about to touch down and he doesn't sound pleased.
(indistinct conversations)
- Thank you.
This is Mackenzie Warren.
- [So, what's all this about having a change of heart?]
- You're right, it's highly unprofessional,
and I know that we had an agreement.
- ["Have" an agreement!]
- Please, it's just, sometimes...
it takes a little...
time to see some things clearly.
Like to discover new friends you never expected to find,
and how amazing it is to be part of a family.
And to finally meet someone
who makes you laugh
and remember what's truly important.
I don't know why it's taken me so long,
but I've finally figured out where I belong and...
it's right here.
- [So you're saying your mind's made up?]
(She sighs.) - That's right.
- [Well, that's all I wanted to hear.]
(jingling bells)
- Santa?!
(Santa cackling) You're the buyer?!
- Location, location,
location! - I don't understand!
- Well, you had to make a true commitment.
And you did!
Not only did you save the inn,
but you saved Christmas. And what I couldn't tell you was,
the magic you restored here
is gonna power my sleigh tonight.
As it does in outposts all around the world.
So, as the new innkeeper
of the Northern Lights Mountain Inn...
...you have my deepest gratitude.
- Thank you, Santa.
And... let's go with Mac.
(all laughing) - Yes!
Well done, Clementine.
You are a rising star.
- A rising star?!
I love the sound of that, Santa!
(Santa chuckling)
- Well, I've got a big trip tonight and, thanks to you,
it'll be a journey that I can make just fine.
Now, look behind you.
As the magic is restored,
the hotel is too.
(wonderful music)
Hello, Jenny!
- Santa! - Ho ho ho!
You never know where the next innkeeper's coming from.
I've heard that she's done some very good deeds.
Merry Christmas, Jenny! Ha ha! - Merry Christmas!
- Bye! (Clem giggling)
(little sighs)
I knew you could do it, Mac.
- Thank you, Clem.
- Hm! Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.
- Come on, Jenny! We've got a party to go to!
(bells jingling) - HO! HO! HO! HO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! HO! HO! HO! HO!
(buzzing)
(buzzing with chimes)
- What's going on out here?
- If I told you, you'd probably think I was crazy.
- Maybe I like crazy.
- Maybe I do too.
