In the week before Christmas, veterinarian Allie Shaw, who has lived her entire life in the Northern Vermont Christmas tourist town of Evergreen, is moving to Washington DC to be with Spencer, her boyfriend of two years, to see if the long distance is the issue in the stagnation of their relationship as they suspect. Physician Ryan Bellamy and his adolescent daughter Zoe Bellamy are heading to Florida to board a cruise for the holidays, Ryan having made this choice to get away from the memory of his wife who died just over a year ago and who was the one who did the traditional Christmas in their family. Allie and the Bellamys meet when Ryan and Zoe stop off in Evergreen, where they had never been, en route to the airport. While someone within this collective secretly wants to spend Christmas in Evergreen, the others seem determined to make their way to their stated destination. However, one thing or another seems to conspire to prevent them from making it to either Washington or Florida. But the stated plans may still come to pass, that is unless the legend of a wish of the heart made on the Christmas snow globe that is displayed in Allie's parents' diner is stronger in showing those the collective that perhaps they were meant to spend Christmas in Evergreen together, the wish arguably manifested by the kindly old man hired to play Santa at Evergreen's annual Christmas Festival.

00:00:00In Northern Vermont, so far north that on clear days you might be able to see the North Pole,
00:00:19lies the magical town of Evergreen.
00:00:22Some say it was the decorations that made this little town so special,
00:00:26but others believe it was because of something else entirely, something you wouldn't expect at all, a snow globe.
00:00:35But this wasn't just any snow globe.
00:00:38No, they say that if you shake this one just so and make one wish, the true wish of your heart, Christmas magic will make it come true.
00:00:48Now I know what you're thinking. Could a snow globe really grant wishes?
00:00:52Well, maybe the story of Christmas in Evergreen will help you believe.
00:01:08Hey everyone, here we come.
00:01:11These guys have got all their shots and they're ready for their first Christmas.
00:01:15Oh, I can't get over how cute they are.
00:01:18Sure. How's our mama doing?
00:01:20Molly definitely has her paws full with these guys.
00:01:24They sure are going to miss you.
00:01:26Hmm, I'm going to miss them too.
00:01:28I'm going to miss all my furry patients.
00:01:29Wait a minute. You don't have any furry patients in D.C.?
00:01:32No, I will, but I'm going to be working in a big clinic.
00:01:36I don't know if I'll have time for a pile of hugs.
00:01:38But aren't you going to miss it?
00:01:39Of course I will, but this is a big opportunity.
00:01:45I can't pass it up.
00:01:47And you have Dr. Meyer's info in Montpelier, right?
00:01:50Yep.
00:01:50He's great.
00:01:51Yes, he is, but it's going to be different.
00:01:54I know.
00:01:55But different is good, right?
00:01:58Like having a whole bunch of puppies is different and that's a good thing, right?
00:02:01Yeah, I can't wait to find these guys a new home.
00:02:04Bye, Allie.
00:02:05Now we just got to find a home for you, Frank.
00:02:07Joe, she's here.
00:02:17Hi, honey.
00:02:19Hi, Allie.
00:02:22My baby.
00:02:23No, this is not goodbye.
00:02:26I'm just dropping off Frank.
00:02:28Besides, you promised you wouldn't cry.
00:02:30I'm not. I was just chopping onions.
00:02:33I'm going to be home right after Christmas.
00:02:35Mm-hmm.
00:02:35And then you're going to be leaving again right after that for good.
00:02:39Then all I'm going to have to remember you by is a goldfish.
00:02:42Maybe I should just take care of Frank, okay?
00:02:46Thanks.
00:02:46Washington, D.C. has modern conveniences.
00:02:51I have no phone.
00:02:53I know.
00:02:54I hear they even have an airport now.
00:02:57Honey, I just want to make sure that you're sure.
00:03:00Because this is a big change, Allie.
00:03:02I'm sure.
00:03:03It's a great job.
00:03:05And besides, I'm ready for a change.
00:03:07And I'm not just talking about the job.
00:03:09No, Mom.
00:03:10No, we've been over this.
00:03:12Spencer and I were testing the waters.
00:03:14Mm-hmm.
00:03:14And there was a reason that you two broke up, honey.
00:03:17Yeah.
00:03:18We couldn't handle the long-distance thing.
00:03:20So now we're going to be in the same city, and it's not a big deal.
00:03:23You're going to be spending Christmas with them, Allie.
00:03:26And that is a very big deal.
00:03:30And you're just hugging me right now just to hush me up, aren't you?
00:03:33No, I'm hugging you because I love you.
00:03:36The hushing is just a bonus.
00:03:37Mm-hmm.
00:03:41I gotta go.
00:03:43I love you.
00:03:44I love you.
00:04:03Oh, so sorry.
00:04:12In a hurry to get your Christmas plan started?
00:04:14Yes.
00:04:15Just about to head out of town.
00:04:16Well, be sure to check the weather before you go to the airport.
00:04:19Mother nature could be unpredictable.
00:04:21Spencer, hey, I was just heading out the door.
00:04:38Happy moving to D.C. day.
00:04:39Hey, it's not moving to D.C. day.
00:04:41It's coming to D.C. to sign the new lease on my apartment day.
00:04:44I'm sorry.
00:04:45Did they make a card for that?
00:04:46They make a card for everything.
00:04:48I cannot believe we're finally going to be living in the same city together.
00:04:51They're just five blocks apart.
00:04:53Well, the commute will definitely be a lot easier.
00:04:56So, I've got some incredible stuff lined up for us.
00:04:58Dinners, parties.
00:04:59Oh, and on Christmas Day, you and I are going to be going to my boss's swanky estate in the Hamptons.
00:05:05One of the partners even said that we can use his helicopter to get there.
00:05:08A helicopter?
00:05:10Really?
00:05:11Hey, you better get used to it, okay?
00:05:13This is going to be a brand new start for us, Allie.
00:05:16Right, and I'm excited about that.
00:05:18I just want to make sure that we're not getting ahead of ourselves.
00:05:22Allie, I get it.
00:05:24I totally get it, okay?
00:05:26I just want to put the last couple months behind us.
00:05:28I mean, this is Christmas.
00:05:30It's a time for new beginnings.
00:05:31Absolutely.
00:05:33And, you know, also, I love swanky parties.
00:05:37Beautiful.
00:05:39Um, I should get back to work, though.
00:05:41I can't wait to see you tonight.
00:05:43All right.
00:05:43I'll talk to you soon.
00:05:44Okay.
00:05:44Bye.
00:05:48I can do swanky.
00:05:55I gotta go.
00:06:01Christmas calls.
00:06:03Okay.
00:06:03Bye-bye.
00:06:06Sorry.
00:06:07Last work call, I promise.
00:06:08You said that after the last one.
00:06:11And the one before that.
00:06:12And the one before that.
00:06:14And...
00:06:15Oh, okay.
00:06:16Hey, Zoe, now I'm officially on vacation.
00:06:20Just you and me off to Florida and our big cruise on Christmas Day.
00:06:24Won't that be fun?
00:06:24Sure.
00:06:25We can have fun in Florida.
00:06:27I mean, Christmas is supposed to be cold with snow, but...
00:06:31According to who?
00:06:32Santa.
00:06:33That's why he wears a suit.
00:06:35Oh, you know I didn't know that.
00:06:36But how about this?
00:06:38I'll tell you what.
00:06:39When we get there, as soon as we get into our hotel, we will crank the air conditioning up really high.
00:06:45We will fill the pool with ice, and it'll be just like living in the North Pole.
00:06:50Oh, Dad.
00:06:51You could have walked to D.C. by now.
00:07:01Don't we have enough real snow?
00:07:03Oh, this is for the Christmas festival.
00:07:06You know, the one you're gonna miss.
00:07:07Yes, I'm aware I'm missing the Christmas festival.
00:07:10Thank you for the reminder.
00:07:10Well, I'll tell you, whoever decided to take over after you planned this thing is crazy.
00:07:16You're taking over the planning.
00:07:18Like I said.
00:07:24Oh, boy.
00:07:25Don't tell me you're taking this thing to D.C.
00:07:27Of course I am.
00:07:28This is my grandpa's truck.
00:07:30I love this truck.
00:07:32Obviously doesn't love you.
00:07:33Why are we friends again?
00:07:35Because I'm the only one that's gonna tell you that you will never get this thing to start.
00:07:39Oh, yeah?
00:07:41Watch this.
00:07:46Oh, it worked.
00:07:47Oh, great.
00:07:48Now you can take me to town hall.
00:07:50No, I gotta go to the airport.
00:07:54Well, it's on the way, and this box is awkward, so let's go.
00:08:04Alan, you've gotta come in.
00:08:18I gotta go.
00:08:20But I want you to see the layout.
00:08:22We're changing some things.
00:08:23Come on.
00:08:24Okay, one minute.
00:08:26You have one minute.
00:08:28This looks amazing.
00:08:31You did such a good job.
00:08:34The conflict needs a little bit more sparkle.
00:08:38Sparkle.
00:08:38Okay.
00:08:40Uh-oh.
00:08:41Here comes the mayor.
00:08:43Ooh.
00:08:43I haven't had enough coffee for this.
00:08:45Not enough coffee in Evergreen.
00:08:47Michelle, I have an idea.
00:08:49Good morning, Ezra.
00:08:50Former resident.
00:08:52I haven't even left yet.
00:08:53What's your idea this time, Ezra?
00:08:55I think we should have an app.
00:08:57You know, an interactive experience.
00:09:00The festival is in five days.
00:09:02We can't get an app made in five days.
00:09:04We need to find some way to make the festival current.
00:09:07You know, we need to shake things up.
00:09:08This is my first time in charge, and I don't want to shake things up.
00:09:11My first year as mayor, and I want things shaken.
00:09:14Your dad was mayor for 30 years, and this was good enough for him.
00:09:17Well, that's my point.
00:09:17We don't want this to be our parents' festival.
00:09:19Allie.
00:09:20Oh, don't look at me.
00:09:22Soon-to-be former resident.
00:09:24Hey, everyone.
00:09:25I came to help.
00:09:26Barbara.
00:09:26Hi.
00:09:27How's the incoming along?
00:09:28Oh, my goodness.
00:09:29So great.
00:09:30I'm opening in two weeks.
00:09:31Can't believe it.
00:09:32It's so nice to have someone come to Evergreen to open a business.
00:09:35Thanks.
00:09:36Instead of business owners moving away.
00:09:38Okay, Meanie.
00:09:40Don't make me tell them about the incident in second grade.
00:09:43Ooh.
00:09:44Best of luck in your new job.
00:09:47Michelle, since Doc Hadley retired and moved away, we need to find someone new to play Santa.
00:09:52I'm thinking that we go against type.
00:09:55Younger, more handsome.
00:09:59Too late.
00:09:59I already got a guy out of Burlington.
00:10:01Oh, I think I saw him.
00:10:02He looks like Santa Claus even without the costume.
00:10:04Wait, he's here already?
00:10:05Must be getting ready for the role.
00:10:07Well, okay, if you guys want to be traditional.
00:10:09But what about the children's choir?
00:10:11I mean, can't they do some newer Christmas songs?
00:10:15Give me a break.
00:10:18Come on.
00:10:18What's going on?
00:10:25We got angels, Blitzen, candy canes, decorations, elves.
00:10:32Fireplace.
00:10:34Fireplace isn't a Christmas word.
00:10:36It's what Santa comes down.
00:10:38Santa comes down the chimney.
00:10:39Okay, okay.
00:10:41Um, how about fruitcake?
00:10:45Pretty good.
00:10:47Pretty good.
00:10:48Okay, um, my turn.
00:10:50Your turn.
00:10:51G.
00:10:51Okay.
00:10:52Um, angels, Blitzen, candy canes, decorations, elves, fruitcake, and gingerbread.
00:11:04Mm, mm, mm.
00:11:05That's a good one.
00:11:07Thanks.
00:11:08Except for, now I'm hungry.
00:11:11Okay, you know what?
00:11:12Um, yeah, I think we have time to stop.
00:11:13We just gotta make it quick.
00:11:14We got a flight to catch.
00:11:16Evergreen.
00:11:17Let's go there.
00:11:19Yeah, sure.
00:11:19Sounds good.
00:11:20Sounds good.
00:11:20Merry Christmas.
00:11:33Merry Christmas.
00:11:34Hi.
00:11:35Hi.
00:11:36Oh.
00:11:37Hey, Henry.
00:11:38What's wrong?
00:11:39Oh, no, no, no.
00:11:40She's not due for...
00:11:42Oh, no.
00:11:43Henry, I'm on my way to the airport.
00:11:45Can't you call Dr. Myers?
00:11:46Oh, right.
00:11:50Okay.
00:11:51All right.
00:11:51Well, I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:11:54Okay.
00:11:54Bye.
00:11:55Oh.
00:11:57Oh, yeah.
00:12:02We're here, Dad.
00:12:03So pretty.
00:12:04Seriously?
00:12:12I know you don't want me to leave, but this is ridiculous.
00:12:24Wow.
00:12:25This place is beautiful.
00:12:27How have I never been here before?
00:12:29Wow.
00:12:30It's perfect here.
00:12:31This is what Christmas is supposed to look like.
00:12:34Well, Florida's going to look like this, too.
00:12:35Only more palm trees, you know?
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:44Hi, there.
00:12:45Hi.
00:12:45Do you need some help?
00:12:47Oh, no.
00:12:48It'll start.
00:12:49Eventually.
00:12:51Wishing you luck.
00:12:53Oh.
00:12:55Hey.
00:12:55Did you just do that, Dad?
00:12:57You know, when I tell the story later, I fully intend to take credit.
00:13:00So, yes, let's say I did.
00:13:02Well, how can I ever thank you?
00:13:04You can actually direct us to a good place for lunch.
00:13:06Oh, well, the Kris Kringle Kitchen is right here.
00:13:09It's the best diner in town, and I'm not just saying that because my folks run it.
00:13:12The Kris Kringle Kitchen.
00:13:13Goodness, you guys really do take Christmas seriously around here, don't you?
00:13:16Yeah, we sure do.
00:13:17Well, thanks a lot for your help.
00:13:19Couldn't have done it without you.
00:13:20Absolutely.
00:13:21Merry Christmas.
00:13:22Merry Christmas.
00:13:23Merry Christmas.
00:13:23Merry Christmas.
00:13:30Hey, Henry.
00:13:52Hey, Doc.
00:13:53Sorry, Henry.
00:14:03She is not in labor.
00:14:05Are you sure?
00:14:06I heard her mooing.
00:14:08Cow's moo.
00:14:09It's a common occurrence.
00:14:10It was a different kind.
00:14:11It was a...
00:14:12I'm about to give birth moo.
00:14:14You better brush up on your bovine, because she's fine.
00:14:18What are we going to do if it happens when you're gone?
00:14:20You're going to call Dr. Myers in Montpelier.
00:14:22I have a plane to catch.
00:14:24Oh, my God.
00:14:28Now, big silly living's going to change you.
00:14:30Oh, change isn't a bad thing.
00:14:31Look at that.
00:14:32You built a whole new barn.
00:14:34It's not a bad thing.
00:14:35I haven't moved in yet, and it's still just a barn.
00:14:37Well, I'll still be Allie just in a new city.
00:14:40So what are you going to do with the old barn once you move in?
00:14:42I don't know.
00:14:43Tear it down, probably.
00:14:45Ah.
00:14:47See that, Henry, even more change.
00:14:49It's in the air.
00:14:50You can feel it.
00:14:51Merry Christmas.
00:14:52Merry Christmas, Doc.
00:14:59Ah.
00:15:00There we go.
00:15:01Bye.
00:15:02Bye.
00:15:10I'm glad you liked it.
00:15:11Thanks for coming.
00:15:16There you go.
00:15:17Thanks a lot.
00:15:18Merry Christmas, sis.
00:15:19It's just not what really grant wishes.
00:15:22Like the sign says, only if you know what your heart really wants.
00:15:27Where did it come from?
00:15:29See, nobody knows.
00:15:31One day, right after we opened this diner, it just showed up on our doorstep.
00:15:35It's been here ever since.
00:15:38With that sign.
00:15:39People come from all over to make wishes.
00:15:41It's a tradition here in Evergreen.
00:15:42It's a tradition here in Evergreen.
00:15:45Have you ever made one?
00:15:47Yeah.
00:15:48I have.
00:15:50When I first got it, I wished to have a little girl just like you.
00:15:54You know what?
00:15:56My wish came true.
00:15:59So would you like to try it?
00:16:00Sure.
00:16:01All right.
00:16:02Careful, Zoe.
00:16:05I wish we could have Christmas here in Evergreen.
00:16:20Your turn, Dad.
00:16:32No, thanks.
00:16:34Oh, come on, Dad.
00:16:34Don't be shy.
00:16:36I'm sure whatever Zoe wished for is good enough for both of us.
00:16:40Okay.
00:16:42Mm-hmm.
00:16:43You come back and tell us how that wish turned out, okay?
00:16:45Okay.
00:16:46Bye.
00:16:46Bye, honey.
00:16:47Merry Christmas.
00:16:49Can't we stay a little longer?
00:16:52Zoe, the sooner we get to the airport, the sooner we get to Florida.
00:16:56Florida will be great, but...
00:16:59But what?
00:17:00Just look at this place.
00:17:02I promise Florida is going to be so much fun, and you and me, we are going to have the best
00:17:07Christmas ever.
00:17:10Okay?
00:17:12Okay, Dad.
00:17:13Okay.
00:17:14All right.
00:17:17In you go, kiddo.
00:17:40So, you're on your way.
00:17:44All packed up and ready to go.
00:17:46Mom.
00:17:47I'm not going to cry.
00:17:48You're going to be back next week.
00:17:50Exactly.
00:17:51We'll have time for our big emotional goodbye then.
00:17:53Right.
00:17:55Merry Christmas.
00:17:57Merry Christmas, sweetheart.
00:17:59You travel safely.
00:18:00I will.
00:18:01Bye, Daddy.
00:18:02Goodbye, sweetheart.
00:18:04Family hug.
00:18:05Okay.
00:18:05Okay.
00:18:06I love you guys.
00:18:07Chopping onions.
00:18:17Yeah.
00:18:17Yeah.
00:18:17It's this way.
00:18:47Here you go. Have a nice flight.
00:18:49Thanks so much.
00:18:51Hello.
00:18:53Here you go, sir. Have a nice flight.
00:18:55Washington, D.C., please.
00:18:59Okay, please tell him that Dr. Bellamy called
00:19:01and that I'll be back after the New Year.
00:19:03Okay, thanks so much.
00:19:05Last work call, I promise.
00:19:07It's okay, Dad.
00:19:09I'm having fun. Yeah?
00:19:11Okay, what's been your favorite part so far?
00:19:13Hevergreen, of course.
00:19:15Oh, hey. If it isn't my mechanic and her assistant.
00:19:19Hi. What are you doing here?
00:19:21Taking an airplane.
00:19:23We are, too. We're going to Florida.
00:19:25Washington, D.C. I'm Allie, by the way.
00:19:27I'm Ryan, and this is Zoe.
00:19:29Hi, Zoe. How was lunch?
00:19:31It was great, and I made a wish on the snow globe.
00:19:35I'm pretty sure it's what my heart wanted.
00:19:37You know, my grandpa used to say,
00:19:39the heart knows what it wants even when the head doesn't.
00:19:43So what'd you wish for?
00:19:45I can't tell you. Or else it won't come true.
00:19:47But I'm starting to worry that it's not going to come true anyways.
00:19:51Hmm. Well, maybe you should wish for it again.
00:19:53Give it a little turbo boost.
00:19:55But I don't have the snow globe.
00:19:57Oh, it's pretty powerful.
00:19:59I bet it'll be able to hear you from all the way over here.
00:20:09Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to report that,
00:20:11due to heavy snow, we are closing the runways
00:20:13and canceling all flights.
00:20:19Come on.
00:20:29Okay, great, thanks.
00:20:39Hi there.
00:20:41Hi.
00:20:42Did you find a hotel for the night?
00:20:43Uh, we did, yeah.
00:20:44We're just gonna grab something to eat. Did you?
00:20:46Oh, I'm gonna head back to Evergreen.
00:20:48That's not far.
00:20:49You sure you're okay to drive in the storm?
00:20:51Oh, please.
00:20:52My truck's seen way worse than this.
00:20:54And besides, hopefully tomorrow
00:20:55everything will be up and running again.
00:20:57Does the flight being canceled mean we aren't going to Florida?
00:21:00No, we will still have plenty of time to catch our cruise.
00:21:03Ooh, a cruise.
00:21:05That sounds like a fancy Christmas.
00:21:07Certainly a lot warmer.
00:21:08Yeah, it'll be great.
00:21:12Well, it was nice to meet you.
00:21:14Nice meeting you, too.
00:21:15Maybe we'll see you around here tomorrow?
00:21:18Yeah.
00:21:19And if not, Merry Christmas.
00:21:22Merry Christmas, Ollie.
00:21:27Allie.
00:21:28Hi.
00:21:29Bad news.
00:21:30The flight got canceled because of the snow.
00:21:32I was just heading out to the airport to pick you up.
00:21:34Oh, I'm sorry.
00:21:35It'll be sometime tomorrow, hopefully.
00:21:36I'm working tomorrow.
00:21:37Oh, that's okay.
00:21:38I can just get a cab from the airport.
00:21:39No second thoughts, right?
00:21:40Spencer, I didn't cause the snow.
00:21:41Let me just get there.
00:21:42Everything's gonna be fine.
00:21:43Sure.
00:21:44Of course.
00:21:45Call me tomorrow?
00:21:46Of course.
00:21:47Bye.
00:21:48Bye.
00:21:49Bye.
00:21:50Bye.
00:21:51Bye.
00:21:52Bye.
00:21:53Bye.
00:21:54Bye.
00:21:55Bye.
00:21:56Bye.
00:21:57Bye.
00:21:58Bye.
00:21:59Bye.
00:22:00Bye.
00:22:01Bye.
00:22:02Bye.
00:22:03Bye.
00:22:04Bye.
00:22:05Bye.
00:22:06Bye.
00:22:07Bye.
00:22:08Bye.
00:22:09Bye.
00:22:15Bye.
00:22:16Oh, no.
00:22:17Come on.
00:22:18Really?
00:22:19I thought you wanted me to be in Evergreen.
00:22:33Can I sit anywhere?
00:22:35Okay, thanks.
00:22:37Allie! Oh, hi.
00:22:39Oh, hi. I thought you were going back to Evergreen.
00:22:41Oh, I was. I've been trying to get my truck started for the last hour.
00:22:44Do you want us to pretend to fix it again?
00:22:47Thank you, but no. I'm going to get a bite to eat, and then I'll try again.
00:22:51If it still doesn't start, I'll get a hotel for the night.
00:22:54Come sit with us, Allie. You can tell us about Evergreen.
00:22:59What would you like to know?
00:23:01Well, what do you do for Christmas?
00:23:03Oh, well, every year we have this big festival.
00:23:06Thank you. With food, games, and a choir.
00:23:10People come from all over the place. It's the town's biggest tradition.
00:23:13What do you do in Evergreen?
00:23:14I run a veterinarian practice. Or, I did.
00:23:18But now I am moving to Washington, D.C. to start a new job and for a change of scenery.
00:23:25So, you're not going to spend Christmas in Evergreen?
00:23:27No. For the first time in forever.
00:23:32The festival sounds like fun.
00:23:35It is.
00:23:36But, not as fun as Florida. Come on, the beach.
00:23:45Yeah, it'll be great.
00:23:47Hey, can I show you something?
00:23:49Sure.
00:23:50Check it out.
00:23:50Okay, you do a fold and another fold.
00:23:54And then, these tiny little tears, okay?
00:23:58Little triangles.
00:24:00And then, you unfold to reveal the magical snowflake.
00:24:07Cool.
00:24:08Cool.
00:24:09Yeah, my mom taught me that. She said, this way, I could always carry the magic of the Evergreen Christmas with me wherever I go.
00:24:15Neat.
00:24:16Neat.
00:24:17My mom used to make a lot of our Christmas decorations.
00:24:24You want to learn how to do it yourself?
00:24:26Sure.
00:24:27Okay, I'll show you.
00:24:28I'll show you.
00:24:28I'll show you.
00:24:28I'll show you.
00:24:28Napkin.
00:24:29Napkin.
00:24:30Napkin.
00:24:30All right.
00:24:32Your turn.
00:24:33Fold in half.
00:24:34This way.
00:24:36Oh, you're a natural.
00:24:37Good work.
00:24:38The key is tearing these little triangle pieces.
00:24:41Like this?
00:24:45I spoke to Allie.
00:24:46Mm.
00:24:47What'd she say?
00:24:48She got a hotel room, and she's going to try and fly out tomorrow morning.
00:24:51Ah, you see, you know it's bad if they close the airport.
00:24:54Well, luckily, we're not landing planes. We're just having a festival.
00:24:57Yeah, my first festival, and we get a blizzard.
00:25:00Ezra, relax. Everything will be just fine.
00:25:06All right, well, thank you so much for checking.
00:25:17No problem.
00:25:19Okay, uh, well, thank you. Anyway.
00:25:22Oh, with all the flights that were canceled, there's no more rooms.
00:25:26They won't let me stay another night.
00:25:27Well, same with us, and there's no rooms anywhere, it seems.
00:25:30Well, I'm going to go see if I can get my truck started.
00:25:32If I can, you're welcome to come back to Evergreen.
00:25:34Yes!
00:25:35I mean, yeah, we could go back to Evergreen again.
00:25:40Right, Dad?
00:25:41Uh, that's very nice of you, but where would we even stay?
00:25:44Is there a hotel, or...?
00:25:46Sort of.
00:25:47Oh, hi, Allie.
00:25:59Hello?
00:26:00Oh, hi, Allie.
00:26:01Hi.
00:26:04Oh, that's terrible.
00:26:07I'm so sorry.
00:26:10Uh-huh.
00:26:10Uh, well, yes, it'd be wonderful to have them stay here.
00:26:17It's just as long as they know it's not quite finished yet.
00:26:19But I-I can easily make up a guest room.
00:26:23Wonderful.
00:26:24Okay, I'll see you then.
00:26:26Bye!
00:26:28Wow, how about that?
00:26:30My first guest!
00:26:32Yes!
00:26:34Woo!
00:26:34All right, guys, you can just throw your luggage in the back.
00:26:44Hop on in, kiddo.
00:26:45All right, guys, buckle up.
00:26:57Evergreen, here we come.
00:26:59Allie?
00:27:10Yeah?
00:27:11My dad's a people doctor, and you're a pet doctor, so you're kind of the same.
00:27:16So, well, except my patients can tell me where it hurts.
00:27:19Oh, you've obviously never met an unhappy reindeer.
00:27:21You get a lot of this.
00:27:24Oh!
00:27:25Ooh, it's Henry. Will you hold it?
00:27:27Yep.
00:27:28Hey, Henry!
00:27:28Doc, buttercups and labor.
00:27:30No, no, no, I told you, she's not due for another week.
00:27:32But she's moving like crazy.
00:27:34Really?
00:27:34Oh, yeah, I'm loud.
00:27:35All right, well, I'm actually headed back into town right now.
00:27:38You're coming back?
00:27:39No, I know, it's a long story.
00:27:41I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:27:42Thanks, Doc.
00:27:43Bye.
00:27:45Well, guys, I'm afraid we're gonna have to take a little detour.
00:27:48Yeah, Henry, you were right.
00:28:00She's in labor.
00:28:01Told you I knew their moves.
00:28:03What can I do to help?
00:28:05Uh, all right.
00:28:05Henry, go get me a big bucket of hot water, and Ryan, bring me my bag.
00:28:09Got it.
00:28:10Okay.
00:28:10Uh, what can I do to help?
00:28:14You can, um, take apart a bale of hay, because we're gonna make a little nest for the baby.
00:28:19You've got it.
00:28:25This is a disaster.
00:28:26What are we supposed to do?
00:28:27We can fix it.
00:28:28We don't have the money to fix it.
00:28:30Oh.
00:28:30Hey, guys, what's going on?
00:28:32I just got your message.
00:28:33Getting a little less in municipal finance from Mr. Stingy over here.
00:28:36A water pipe burst in the town hall.
00:28:39Water everywhere, which then froze.
00:28:41It's like an ice skating rink in there.
00:28:43We can fix it in time.
00:28:44Sure we could, if there was enough in the town hall preservation fund.
00:28:48But the festival was raising money for the town hall preservation fund.
00:28:51Which is kind of ironic, if you think about it.
00:28:55Sorry.
00:28:58She's so beautiful.
00:28:59She is.
00:29:00She's awesome.
00:29:01Thanks for your help.
00:29:03Me?
00:29:04Yeah, you.
00:29:05Couldn't have done this without you.
00:29:07That only has a point, Zoe.
00:29:09I think you should be the one to name her.
00:29:13Okay, but this is big.
00:29:16I'm gonna need a minute.
00:29:18What should I call you?
00:29:21Hey, um, thank you.
00:29:25For what?
00:29:26For making Zoe feel so special.
00:29:29Oh, that was special in that moment.
00:29:32Nice to spread it around.
00:29:35I'm not gonna miss this.
00:29:39After seeing how good you are with animals, I have a feeling that they're gonna miss you, too.
00:29:47Hey, everybody!
00:29:48I have decided that the baby's name should be...
00:29:55Snowflake.
00:29:59Perfect.
00:30:00I love this.
00:30:05Dinner time.
00:30:06Come on.
00:30:06Up you down.
00:30:07Run.
00:30:08Push.
00:30:09There you go.
00:30:10Over there.
00:30:10Go see money.
00:30:11There you go.
00:30:12So what are we supposed to do?
00:30:19Cancel the Christmas festival?
00:30:20No, no, you can't cancel the festival.
00:30:23The entire town looks forward to it all year.
00:30:25The only way we're gonna have it this year is we find someplace else to do it.
00:30:28There's no place else in town with enough space.
00:30:30That's it.
00:30:31I'm calling Allie.
00:30:32No.
00:30:33No, you can't.
00:30:34This is not her problem anymore.
00:30:36You can't call her.
00:30:37Hey, Zoe!
00:30:40We need to go!
00:30:41But I love Snowflake!
00:30:43I swear she's gonna try to smuggle that thing in her suitcase.
00:30:45Your herd gets any bigger.
00:30:46You're gonna have to keep this old barn.
00:30:48Nora finally put that new barn to good use.
00:30:50Oh!
00:30:51Hold on one second.
00:30:52Allie Shaw?
00:30:54Whoa, Ezra, calm down.
00:30:55I can't understand you.
00:30:57Oh, no.
00:30:58Guys, we may have to cancel the festival.
00:31:01Somewhere else to do it.
00:31:02Where?
00:31:04Zoe, come on!
00:31:06Thank you so much.
00:31:07Hey, Henry.
00:31:09I think I got an idea how it could put your new barn to really good use.
00:31:13How would you like to host the Christmas festival?
00:31:17Sure thing.
00:31:23Wow, Dad, look!
00:31:25It's beautiful!
00:31:27Come on, let's go inside.
00:31:29Yeah, let's go inside!
00:31:32Next up, this is the dining room.
00:31:36It's like we're in a storybook.
00:31:39When did you have time to decorate?
00:31:41Oh, I've been working nonstop.
00:31:43The only thing I haven't been able to do is get a tree.
00:31:45Oh, I haven't gotten one either.
00:31:46Well, Ian looks beautiful, Barbara.
00:31:48Thank you so much for letting us stay the night.
00:31:50Oh, are you kidding?
00:31:51I am so happy to have you here.
00:31:53Do you want to see the rest of the place?
00:31:54Yes.
00:31:54Yes.
00:31:55Okay.
00:31:55You know what?
00:31:57Why don't you go ahead?
00:31:59We'll catch up with you in just a moment.
00:32:00Okay.
00:32:00Okay.
00:32:01Thanks.
00:32:01Bye.
00:32:02Bye.
00:32:04Listen, I just wanted to say thank you one more time for just taking such good care of
00:32:10us today.
00:32:10It's my pleasure.
00:32:11And hopefully the airport will be open tomorrow, so you guys can be on your way.
00:32:15Yeah.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:16Although as far as detours go, this has been the pretty eventful one.
00:32:20I doubt we'll see too many cows on the cruise.
00:32:22Oh, a cow cruise.
00:32:24That sounds fun.
00:32:25So, wait, if you don't mind me asking, why Florida?
00:32:32Sarah, my wife, she died last year just before Christmas, which was really hard, you know?
00:32:38So every candy cane, every Christmas tree was like a reminder.
00:32:42So anyway, this year I wanted Zoe to have sunny palm trees, Florida, stay as far away from
00:32:47Christmas as possible.
00:32:49And then I brought you to the Vermont version of the North Pole.
00:32:53What's like North Pole adjacent?
00:32:55It's like a suburb of the North Pole.
00:32:56Yeah, like right there on the commuter line.
00:32:59Right there.
00:33:00Well, listen, if it's any consolation, I think she's okay.
00:33:04No, but more than okay.
00:33:06She's an awesome kid.
00:33:08Thanks.
00:33:09I wish I could take credit for it, but that was all Sarah.
00:33:12Even after I pulled back from patient care, I worked so much that, um...
00:33:17I think you're too hard on yourself.
00:33:19You don't have to be super dad to be a good dad.
00:33:20Well, um, anyway, thank you.
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:31Careful, you two.
00:33:33You're standing on her mistletoe.
00:33:35Oh, that's...
00:33:38I, um...
00:33:38That was...
00:33:39I shouldn't go.
00:33:43Have a good night.
00:33:44You didn't have to bring me food.
00:33:58Oh, I'm your mother.
00:33:59Of course I did.
00:34:02And why did you put up all your Christmas decorations if you're not even going to be here?
00:34:07I know.
00:34:07I couldn't help myself.
00:34:08But at least I didn't put up a tree.
00:34:10I'm not completely Christmas crazy.
00:34:11Just a little Christmas crazy.
00:34:13Exactly.
00:34:15So did you get Ryan and Zoe all settled?
00:34:17Yes, they're at the inn.
00:34:20He seems like a good guy.
00:34:22He does.
00:34:23Yeah.
00:34:23Yeah, he's a doctor and a single dad.
00:34:26I don't know how he does it.
00:34:28So have you talked to Spencer?
00:34:29I have.
00:34:31Yeah.
00:34:31A little while ago.
00:34:33Everything's fine.
00:34:34Honey, as long as you feel like you're doing the best thing for you,
00:34:38then I'm on board.
00:34:39I do.
00:34:42It's just not going to be the same without you around here.
00:34:44I think that's partly why your dad and I are talking about retiring.
00:34:49You are?
00:34:50Actually, your father's doing most of the talking, and I am listening very politely.
00:34:55You don't want to do it?
00:34:56I can't imagine leaving Evergreen.
00:34:58But if my brave daughter can start a new chapter in her life, then I guess her parents can too.
00:35:06But don't tell anyone.
00:35:08Especially not Ezra.
00:35:09I don't think his heart could take it.
00:35:11I don't think so either.
00:35:12And I've got to go because I'm going to be late.
00:35:15Where are you off to?
00:35:16To spread a little Christmas cheer.
00:35:19And you know, I think maybe we'll stop by the inn for Zoe and Ryan.
00:35:23Well, I want a little cheer.
00:35:25Can I tag along?
00:35:26Yes, you can tag along.
00:35:27Go get your coat.
00:35:28Okay.
00:35:29Do you have any sevens?
00:35:37Go, Fish.
00:35:39Ugh, again?
00:35:40I'm just that good.
00:35:45What is that?
00:35:50To be jolly, fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
00:35:55Johnny Elmer, gay apparel, fa-la-la-la-la
00:35:59La la la la la la la, troll the ancient yuletide carol, la la la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la...
00:36:16Hi, Allie.
00:36:21Ryan.
00:36:22Hi.
00:36:23Hi.
00:36:23Where's Zoe?
00:36:24Uh, she's back at the Inn with Barbara.
00:36:26I heard the airport's open again.
00:36:27I thought I'd come and see if we could, uh, hitch a ride back with you.
00:36:30Oh, of course.
00:36:31Yeah, um, I want you to meet, um, my friend Michelle Lansing.
00:36:35Hi, Michelle.
00:36:36And I think you've met my mom and dad.
00:36:39Hi.
00:36:39Hi there.
00:36:39Nice to see you again.
00:36:40This is Dr. Ryan Bellamy.
00:36:42Doctor.
00:36:44And this is Mayor Ezra Green.
00:36:47You're a doctor.
00:36:48I am, yes.
00:36:50You know, our town doctor just retired.
00:36:53Leave him alone, Ezra.
00:36:54Right.
00:36:55Sorry.
00:36:56More important matters at hand.
00:36:59Listen up, everybody.
00:37:00I have some bad news.
00:37:02They had to shut down the highway.
00:37:04Wait, what?
00:37:05The storm last night caused a rock slide.
00:37:07Oh, I don't believe this.
00:37:08Why is that a problem?
00:37:09There's only one road in and out of town.
00:37:12Now it's blocked by a bunch of big rocks.
00:37:15Uh, well, when will it open?
00:37:16Tomorrow.
00:37:17Maybe.
00:37:18Tomorrow?
00:37:19We're gonna miss our flight.
00:37:20Yeah.
00:37:21Okay, well, there's gotta be some other way out of town.
00:37:23Snowmobiles.
00:37:24Snowplow.
00:37:26Helicopter.
00:37:26Forget about people getting out.
00:37:28How's anybody gonna get in?
00:37:29Nobody's gonna be able to come to the Christmas festival.
00:37:32This is terrible.
00:37:32Everyone in Evergreen can come.
00:37:34I got people coming from Montpelier and Burlington.
00:37:38Allie, what are we gonna do?
00:37:40All right, all right.
00:37:40Why don't we meet at Henry's Barn this afternoon and start setting up for the festival?
00:37:44And if the road clears, great.
00:37:47And if it doesn't, then this year the festival will just be for Evergreen.
00:37:51And guests.
00:37:53Oh, okay.
00:37:54Well, I guess I feel better.
00:37:55You know, I think this is another situation that could have been solved if we had an app.
00:37:59Oh, Ezra, please.
00:38:01You know, this is a good idea.
00:38:02I mean, this will light up the whole scene.
00:38:05Hey, I'm so sorry.
00:38:07If I hadn't invited you here, you wouldn't be stuck.
00:38:10You didn't cause the rock slide, did you?
00:38:13No, I didn't.
00:38:14My neighbor has my jackhammer.
00:38:17I just wanted this Christmas to be better.
00:38:22Well, y'all are stuck here another day.
00:38:27Maybe I could help make Christmas a little better for Zoe.
00:38:32We do have plenty of snow.
00:38:36What do you think?
00:38:37I think he's perfect.
00:38:39Good work, you guys.
00:38:42This is so awesome.
00:38:43I gotta get a picture.
00:38:46All right, ready?
00:38:47One, two, three.
00:38:52Oh, you know what?
00:38:53I'm getting a phone call.
00:38:54I'll be right back.
00:38:54Okay.
00:38:56Hi.
00:38:58Hey.
00:38:59Are you at the airport?
00:39:00No.
00:39:01The storm last night shut down the highway.
00:39:03I'm gonna be here another day, at least.
00:39:06Why didn't you just stay in Burlington?
00:39:08All the hotels were booked.
00:39:10I would have had to sleep in my truck.
00:39:12Okay.
00:39:14So what's the plan?
00:39:16Well, I'm thinking at this point it might make most sense for me to stay here.
00:39:21Allie, what about Christmas?
00:39:23Spencer, my folks are talking about retiring.
00:39:25This could be my last Christmas in Evergreen.
00:39:28I mean, I was just really looking forward to spending it with you, is all.
00:39:31I know.
00:39:32Me too.
00:39:33But I can come after Christmas, and we can have plenty of time then.
00:39:36Okay?
00:39:38Yeah, okay.
00:39:38I'll call you tomorrow.
00:39:40Bye.
00:39:40Bye.
00:39:49Allie!
00:39:50Hey, look at you guys.
00:39:51We're making snow angels.
00:39:53They're gorgeous.
00:39:55Mine looks more like a snow gorilla.
00:39:56A Christmas gorilla.
00:39:59It's so much fun here.
00:40:01We should do something nice for Barbara, because she's been so nice to us.
00:40:05Uh, that's really sweet.
00:40:07I got an idea.
00:40:22Ho, ho, ho!
00:40:24You here?
00:40:25In here.
00:40:26What's this?
00:40:27Well, we figured since we have to impose on you for one more night, the least we could
00:40:31do is get you a Christmas tree.
00:40:32Oh, you didn't have to do that.
00:40:35But I'm glad you did.
00:40:37Can we decorate it?
00:40:38Oh, of course.
00:40:39Let's go get some ornaments.
00:40:42Shall we trim it up?
00:40:44Let's do it.
00:40:45Okay.
00:40:48Hmm, sappy.
00:40:51How's that steering clear of Christmas going for you?
00:40:54Really well, clearly.
00:40:56I'll tell you, there is just something about this place that makes it just tough to resist
00:41:02the Christmas spirit.
00:41:03Evergreen will do that to you.
00:41:05I decorated my place this year.
00:41:06I'm not even going to be here.
00:41:08Oh, actually, it's a good thing I did.
00:41:10What do you mean?
00:41:13It turns out I don't think I'm going to go to D.C. for Christmas this year.
00:41:17No?
00:41:17Why not?
00:41:19Complicated.
00:41:20Hmm.
00:41:22A boy.
00:41:23Oh.
00:41:26Spencer.
00:41:27Two years of long distance in a relationship that just couldn't handle the distance part.
00:41:33But we were going to spend this Christmas together and just sort of see if there was something
00:41:38there.
00:41:39No, I get it.
00:41:40I get it.
00:41:41Sarah and I were long distance when we started.
00:41:43I was in Boston.
00:41:45She was in this little town in Ohio.
00:41:46And that worked out well, though, right?
00:41:48Yeah, I guess we just knew we'd wind up together.
00:41:51So, help us get through it.
00:41:57I actually considered going there and becoming a small town doctor.
00:42:03Yeah, now I kind of wish I had.
00:42:07My work doesn't allow the kind of time I'd like to spend with Zoe, which is hard.
00:42:14Well, don't tell Mayor Ezra that.
00:42:17He'll open up an office for you in Town Hall.
00:42:19Dr. Bellamy?
00:42:21Yeah, it's got a nice ring.
00:42:22Yeah, Dr. B. The doctor is in.
00:42:25Right?
00:42:27I gotta say, this is the last place I thought I would find myself three days before Christmas.
00:42:36Same here.
00:42:39But, um, I guess it's not so bad.
00:42:45No.
00:42:47It's not bad at all.
00:42:48You guys ready?
00:42:52We got the ornaments.
00:42:53Come on, let's decorate the tree.
00:42:55Yeah, let's.
00:43:05This is, like, the best tree ever.
00:43:08I agree.
00:43:10I bet the one at the festival won't be anywhere near as nice.
00:43:13We'll see when we go to the barn later tonight.
00:43:15Is there a Christmas festival where you're ringing, Tally?
00:43:20Oh, I think there is, but it's nothing like the one in Evergreen.
00:43:23Then why do you want to move there?
00:43:25Well, I've lived here my whole life, and it's a wonderful place.
00:43:28It really is, but there's a whole big, wide world out there.
00:43:32I want to see it.
00:43:33I'm ready for a change.
00:43:35You know, my grandpa used to say,
00:43:37the further you get from where you started, the closer you get to where you belong.
00:43:42But what if you belong here?
00:43:44Okay, I think we are ready for the angel who wants to do the honors.
00:43:50Me, please.
00:43:52Okay, go for it, Zoe.
00:43:54Okay.
00:43:55All right.
00:43:56Yep.
00:43:58Here we go.
00:44:02Yeah.
00:44:04All right.
00:44:04Okay.
00:44:06Everybody ready?
00:44:06Ready.
00:44:08And...
00:44:08Here we go, drum roll.
00:44:09Drum roll, yep.
00:44:10Yep.
00:44:10Yep.
00:44:10Yep.
00:44:11Yep.
00:44:11Yep.
00:44:14Whoa.
00:44:14Look at this.
00:44:38Wow
00:44:40Hey, Dad
00:44:51Can I be in the choir?
00:44:53Oh, it's for the festival, kiddo
00:44:54We're not going to be here, remember?
00:44:57No, wait
00:44:58Merry Christmas
00:44:59Are you sure you want to put the craft blues in the back?
00:45:04Ezra, you are driving me crazy
00:45:06I am in charge of the festival
00:45:08Me, not you
00:45:09The festival is an important part of the town
00:45:11And I am mayor of the town
00:45:13Me, not you
00:45:14Your daddy retired and nobody else wanted the job
00:45:17A win is still a win
00:45:18Ezra, I've got this under control, okay?
00:45:22There are no problems
00:45:24Hello
00:45:24Okay, right
00:45:26Got it
00:45:28Okay, now we got a problem
00:45:30I knew it
00:45:31Wait, what? What's the problem?
00:45:32We're not going to have any food for the festival
00:45:34What?
00:45:35Mrs. Wallace and the ladies from the church
00:45:37Are usually in charge of the feast and the cookies
00:45:39But they went to Montpelier yesterday
00:45:41For a book club
00:45:42And now
00:45:43And now they can't get back
00:45:44Because the road is closed
00:45:45Right
00:45:45And even if it got fixed tomorrow
00:45:47There still wouldn't be enough time for them
00:45:49To prepare everything that we need
00:45:50All right, all right
00:45:51There's got to be something we can do
00:45:53Hold on a second
00:45:55I got an idea
00:45:57Excuse me, everyone
00:46:02May I have your attention
00:46:03Please
00:46:04Raise your hand
00:46:06If you like to bake
00:46:07Okay
00:46:09A couple more
00:46:12Anyone else?
00:46:13I'm here in sleigh bells
00:46:18I'm seeing stars
00:46:21I've waited on here, baby
00:46:25Just to see those rain
00:46:27And watch them as they go
00:46:29Hold on the spot
00:46:32I've waited on here, baby
00:46:40Just to see those rain
00:46:42Flying to the night
00:46:45Hey, what happened to all the flour?
00:46:57It's all over you
00:46:59I guess it is
00:47:00We're almost out of butter, too
00:47:03You know what?
00:47:04Take my keys
00:47:05Go on down to my parents' restaurant
00:47:07My mom and dad will have all the extra supplies you need
00:47:09Zoe, are you good to hang in here with Allie
00:47:12For a little while?
00:47:14Yeah
00:47:14Bye, dad
00:47:16Take that as a yes
00:47:18Have fun
00:47:19And in the meantime
00:47:21Why don't I teach you how to decorate Christmas stockings?
00:47:25Sure
00:47:25Come on
00:47:26You got it?
00:47:32Great, Carol
00:47:32Thanks so much
00:47:33Bye
00:47:33Making cookies for Santa?
00:47:37Uh, for the festival
00:47:38It's nice you're doing that
00:47:39Oh, it's the least we could do
00:47:41Everyone's been so nice to us
00:47:42Especially Allie
00:47:43I just wish there was something I could do to return the favor
00:47:45Well, a little bird told me
00:47:49She doesn't have a Christmas tree
00:47:51No, she doesn't
00:47:53Thank you
00:47:55Oh, hey
00:47:56I didn't catch your name
00:47:57I'm Nick
00:47:59Merry Christmas
00:48:01You know what?
00:48:09It's like we're elves in Santa's workshop
00:48:11You're right
00:48:12I told you this would be fun
00:48:13It is
00:48:14Be sure to tell dad
00:48:16Okay?
00:48:18Why?
00:48:19He doesn't like me to be sad
00:48:21He worries about that a lot since mom died
00:48:25I just like to let him know that I'm okay
00:48:28But you know it's okay to be sad sometimes too, right?
00:48:32Yeah
00:48:32And I am
00:48:34Sometimes
00:48:35And so is dad
00:48:37Well, I think that's normal
00:48:39But also sometimes you're happy
00:48:43Right?
00:48:44Like when you think about your mom
00:48:46You think about fun things you two would do during Christmas time
00:48:50Yeah
00:48:51My favorite was we'd find a Christmas thing for each letter of the alphabet
00:48:56Me and dad play it now
00:48:58I love that
00:48:59Wait, what would you do for the letter Z?
00:49:03Zoe
00:49:03What do you think?
00:49:06I love it
00:49:07Look at this
00:49:08Who knew reindeer liked candy canes?
00:49:11A groom on
00:49:12Okay
00:49:12Oh, that's probably your dad
00:49:15I'll put it on
00:49:17Spencer
00:49:23Surprise
00:49:25How did you get here?
00:49:29Well, remember I told you I had that partner who was going to let us use his helicopter
00:49:33You took a helicopter here?
00:49:37Yep
00:49:37Landed just outside of town
00:49:39Took a cab here
00:49:40I mean, come on
00:49:42That's
00:49:42That's really something, hey?
00:49:44Yeah
00:49:45That's definitely something
00:49:47Look, I don't
00:49:47Totally understand this whole
00:49:50One last Christmas and evergreen thing
00:49:52But
00:49:52I couldn't bear the thought of not spending it with you
00:49:56So
00:49:56Here I am
00:49:57Her friends
00:50:08Sir
00:50:10Sir
00:50:12Hey Michelle
00:50:30Hannah, why aren't you home making fruitcake?
00:50:32You're in charge of fruitcake
00:50:33I finished
00:50:34We'll make something else
00:50:36Half the town is cooking
00:50:37There's gonna be enough food for, like, five festivals
00:50:40There is no such thing as enough when it comes to a Christmas feast
00:50:44Oh
00:50:44Okay, Michelle
00:50:48Um, do you wanna have a seat over here?
00:50:50Uh
00:50:52I think
00:50:52You need to relax
00:50:54I can't
00:50:55I have too much to do
00:50:56And there's plenty of time to get it all done in
00:50:58It's gonna be fine
00:50:59It can't be fine
00:51:00It has to be
00:51:01Incredible
00:51:02It will be
00:51:03You're doing an amazing job
00:51:06Allie always made everything look so easy
00:51:09Allie had a lot of help
00:51:11She didn't try to do everything by herself
00:51:13Yeah
00:51:16Okay
00:51:17Well, maybe I should go make a wish on the Christmas snow globe
00:51:20You wouldn't be the only one
00:51:23You made a wish?
00:51:25What'd you wish for?
00:51:26Okay, I don't know if you know this
00:51:28But I just love Christmas
00:51:30No, I didn't know
00:51:32Oh
00:51:33Well, this is gonna sound silly, but
00:51:39I wish to find someone special
00:51:41Someone who loves Christmas as much as I do
00:51:44Well, that's not silly
00:51:46That's sweet
00:51:47Really?
00:51:48Mm-hmm
00:51:49I just figured, what could it hurt, right?
00:51:51I mean, it's Christmas, a time when magical things happen
00:51:54How late is that diner open?
00:51:58Come on
00:51:58Thank you
00:52:00So you just brought this guy and his kid back here?
00:52:06Yeah
00:52:06Kind of
00:52:07It seemed like the best option
00:52:10At the time
00:52:11Right
00:52:13Listen, did this have anything to do with you wanting to stay in Evergreen for Christmas?
00:52:19No
00:52:19No, no, no
00:52:20No, that was all me
00:52:21Okay
00:52:23Oh!
00:52:26Dad's back!
00:52:27Okay
00:52:27Hey!
00:52:35What do you think?
00:52:38You've got a Christmas tree!
00:52:41I can't believe you've got a Christmas tree!
00:52:44Yeah, well, it's for...
00:52:47Oh, this is Spencer
00:52:49Spencer, this is Ryan
00:52:51Spencer, Washington, D.C. Spencer
00:52:53That's right!
00:52:55Uh, he flew here on a helicopter
00:52:57Really? Can we borrow it?
00:52:58Uh, no, they just dropped me off
00:53:01Sorry, who's the tree for?
00:53:02It's for Barbara
00:53:04At the inn
00:53:05What?
00:53:06Yeah
00:53:06We just got her a tree
00:53:07Right, but we got her a tree for the living room
00:53:13And this is the tree for the lobby
00:53:14This is the lobby Christmas tree
00:53:16Because at Christmas time
00:53:17You can never have too many Christmas trees
00:53:20Am I right?
00:53:21You're right
00:53:21So listen, we should go
00:53:22The road might be open tomorrow
00:53:24And, uh, you know
00:53:25If that's the case
00:53:26We can get ready to get on out of here
00:53:28Right
00:53:28Escape from Evergreen
00:53:29That's right
00:53:30You know what?
00:53:31Why don't you take my truck
00:53:32With the tree in it
00:53:33To Barbara's house
00:53:34And then we can just walk there
00:53:36And see if she's got a room for Spencer
00:53:37Thank you
00:53:38Yeah, that's a good idea
00:53:39Spencer, nice to meet you
00:53:40You too
00:53:40Uh, bye, Zoe
00:53:42Bye
00:53:42Bye
00:53:44Let's go, kiddo
00:53:46Get on out of here
00:53:48You okay to walk?
00:53:49Well, it's no helicopter
00:53:50But, sure
00:53:51Okay, I'll get my coat
00:53:53You know
00:53:57You really should have gotten the tree for Ali's house
00:54:00Yeah
00:54:02That would have been nice
00:54:04We like her
00:54:06So do I
00:54:10I still can't believe you took a helicopter to get here
00:54:17That's pretty cool, huh?
00:54:18Yeah, doesn't it seem a little extravagant?
00:54:20It only seems that way because you're not used to it yet
00:54:23Nah, you know me
00:54:24I have simple tastes
00:54:26I'm an evergreen girl
00:54:27And now you're going to be a DC girl
00:54:30Yeah
00:54:32Come on, Ali
00:54:34Aren't you just a little excited
00:54:35About starting your new life?
00:54:37Aren't you happy to finally be getting out of this little town?
00:54:39I love this place
00:54:41I know it might not seem like much to you
00:54:44But this is my hometown
00:54:45I mean, look around
00:54:47This is what Christmas is supposed to look like
00:54:49I get it, okay?
00:54:51I know that you have a soft spot for this place
00:54:53That's why I came all the way here
00:54:55To be with you
00:54:56You know, and I appreciate that
00:54:58But
00:54:58But
00:54:58Aren't we supposed to be taking things slow?
00:55:02Well, that's why I had to see you
00:55:03I don't need to take things slow
00:55:07I know what I want
00:55:09The question is
00:55:12Do you?
00:55:13Hey, uh, how's it going?
00:55:32Hey
00:55:32Just, uh, checking on some flights to DC here
00:55:34Coffee?
00:55:36You're not taking the helicopter back?
00:55:38No
00:55:39No, no, that's a, uh
00:55:40A favor we can only use one time
00:55:42Oh, we?
00:55:44I thought
00:55:45Allie was staying here for Christmas
00:55:46Uh, yeah
00:55:47Well, she was
00:55:48But we spoke last night
00:55:49And I'm kind of hoping
00:55:49She might change her mind, so
00:55:50Oh
00:55:52Well, that's, uh
00:55:53That's good
00:55:55Yeah
00:55:56Yeah, I think that, uh
00:55:58Once we get back to DC
00:55:59And she gets settled into her job
00:56:00It's going to be
00:56:01Smooth sailing
00:56:02So
00:56:03Hello
00:56:07There she is
00:56:08Hi
00:56:10Hi
00:56:10Hey
00:56:11Hey
00:56:12Hey
00:56:12Hi
00:56:15Hi
00:56:15Why is everybody just standing around?
00:56:25Uh, we should go
00:56:27To the diner
00:56:28Ezra was going to stop by
00:56:29And give us an update of the roads
00:56:30On the road
00:56:31About the roads
00:56:32Whatever
00:56:34Great
00:56:37Yeah
00:56:38Uh
00:56:39Uh
00:56:40Okay
00:56:41Okay
00:56:41Listen up, everybody
00:56:46I have an update on the road situation
00:56:48Is it open?
00:56:50It's not
00:56:50Oh
00:56:52But
00:56:54It will be by tomorrow night
00:56:56So we can have the Christmas Eve festival
00:56:58The next day
00:56:59As planned
00:56:59Thank you
00:57:05You're going to love it
00:57:07Excuse us
00:57:07I'm sorry
00:57:08You flew in on a helicopter
00:57:10Oh, mom, don't start
00:57:11I thought you said it wasn't a big deal
00:57:13That's big
00:57:14It's not
00:57:15It was a small helicopter
00:57:17What about Ryan
00:57:19What about Ryan?
00:57:20Alice and Louise
00:57:21I can tell there's something between you two
00:57:23It's not
00:57:24There's nothing
00:57:24There's nothing happening
00:57:25And it's no big deal
00:57:26So that's good news
00:57:30You'll be able to head to Florida after all
00:57:32Yes
00:57:33Yeah, that's great news
00:57:35Right, Zoe?
00:57:35Isn't that great news?
00:57:37Yeah
00:57:37It's great
00:57:38I'm counting on you
00:57:42Well, this is terrific
00:57:47I mean, if the road opens by tomorrow night
00:57:48We can still make it to D.C. for Christmas
00:57:50I mean, if we decide that's what we want to do, of course
00:57:53Right
00:57:54We just have to decide
00:57:55Right
00:57:56Well, since we'll all be here at least a little longer
00:57:59What do you want to do?
00:58:00Good afternoon
00:58:01Beautiful weather for ice skating
00:58:04Should we go ice skating?
00:58:06Oh, well, that sounds fun
00:58:08You know, there's a gorgeous ice skating rink in town
00:58:11Should we all go?
00:58:12Yeah
00:58:13That sounds great
00:58:13Yeah, I'd love to
00:58:14But I've actually got a conference call
00:58:16And it could take a couple of hours
00:58:17Oh
00:58:17But you guys go ahead
00:58:18And I'll just
00:58:19I'll catch up with you later
00:58:20Wait, really?
00:58:20Are you sure?
00:58:21Yeah
00:58:21Okay
00:58:23Okay
00:58:23Well, now we just need to find y'all some skates
00:58:27Yes
00:58:28I know, we're like gliding on the ice
00:58:32This is a lot of fun
00:58:33I have not skated in forever
00:58:35Years
00:58:35For me, it's been years
00:58:37Has it?
00:58:37So a lot more recently than you
00:58:39I'm going to take a break
00:58:40Okay
00:58:41I'm going to do that too
00:58:42All right, have fun, Zoe
00:58:43I feel like I'm crying
00:58:45Does she ever get tired?
00:58:48She would stay out here all night if you'd let her
00:58:51How can there be that much energy in that tiny little body?
00:58:55Medically speaking, it's impossible
00:58:56Nobody knows
00:58:57Everything okay?
00:59:05What?
00:59:06Yeah
00:59:06Great
00:59:07Because if you want to go be with Spencer
00:59:09I totally get it
00:59:10Oh
00:59:10No
00:59:11This is fun
00:59:12And he's working anyway
00:59:13It's fine
00:59:14He seems like a good guy
00:59:16He is
00:59:19You know
00:59:23I always
00:59:24I always thought that
00:59:27We were in the same place
00:59:28Even though we lived far apart
00:59:31We always saw things the same way
00:59:34Wanted the same things
00:59:35But
00:59:35Now that we're going to be living in the same place
00:59:39I don't know if that's true anymore
00:59:42What do you want?
00:59:45I mean like
00:59:48For Christmas
00:59:49Like what's your wish list for Santa?
00:59:54A pony
00:59:55Ah
00:59:55Probably more reliable than your truck
00:59:57Hey, don't knock my truck
00:59:59That's my grandpa's truck
01:00:00I love that truck
01:00:02So to answer your question
01:00:07What do I want?
01:00:08Um
01:00:08I think I want
01:00:10To
01:00:13Always feel
01:00:15The way that I do here in Evergreen
01:00:19The feeling of home
01:00:21Exactly
01:00:24So
01:00:27How about you?
01:00:29What do you want?
01:00:30That
01:00:32I can fly
01:00:34Right there
01:00:34That's all I need
01:00:37Come on guys
01:00:47I'm going to go check to see if she has a battery pack
01:00:50Yeah, I've got a phone call
01:00:52Oh, it's Anna
01:00:53Hey
01:00:53Whoa, what's going on?
01:00:57Yeah, he's right here
01:00:57Okay
01:01:00All right
01:01:01Yeah, we'll be there as soon as we can
01:01:02Okay, bye
01:01:04Is everything okay?
01:01:06I'm so sorry to do this to you
01:01:07But we need a doctor
01:01:08Okay, so what happened?
01:01:13I don't know
01:01:13We were working on the festival
01:01:15And then she started to get all woozy
01:01:16Is she going to be okay?
01:01:18No, I'm not okay
01:01:19Honey, just give us a moment, okay?
01:01:20I don't have enough garlic
01:01:21In the barn
01:01:22And then outside
01:01:23And then in two days
01:01:24There's not enough time
01:01:25And we're supposed to be
01:01:26Okay, Michelle
01:01:27Michelle, I just need you to breathe, okay?
01:01:29I don't have time to breathe
01:01:30Michelle
01:01:31Do you remember the 12 days of Christmas?
01:01:35On the 12th day of Christmas
01:01:36My true love gave to me
01:01:38What was it?
01:01:39Drummers
01:01:3912 drummers
01:01:40Drumming, right?
01:01:41That's right, that's right
01:01:42Okay, what's next?
01:01:43Pipers piping
01:01:4411
01:01:44Great, okay
01:01:45Keep going
01:01:46I don't know 10
01:01:47I don't know it
01:01:48Lords
01:01:48Lords
01:01:4910 lords leaping
01:01:50Then nine ladies dancing
01:01:54And eight maids milking, right?
01:01:57Swans, geese
01:01:57Five golden rings
01:02:00Four calling birds
01:02:02Three French hens
01:02:03Two turtle doves
01:02:05And a partridge in a pear tree
01:02:07Great
01:02:10How do you feel?
01:02:11Better
01:02:12What'd you do?
01:02:14You were having a panic attack
01:02:15And counting is one of the things
01:02:17That can help alleviate it
01:02:18I just thought we'd
01:02:19Stick to a Christmas theme
01:02:21Are you okay?
01:02:26Yes, I am
01:02:27I just
01:02:28I was really crazy to think
01:02:29That I could
01:02:30Do this as well as you've done
01:02:32For so long
01:02:33Oh, don't say that
01:02:34This is amazing
01:02:35Hey, let me tell you something
01:02:37I've never seen a group of people
01:02:39More dedicated to anything in my life
01:02:41The way you pulled everyone together
01:02:43And turned this place into
01:02:44I mean, come on
01:02:45Look at this
01:02:46This is what Christmas is all about
01:02:48It's true
01:02:48The festival's gonna be great
01:02:50Oh
01:02:51And it's all because of you
01:02:54Thanks, Doc
01:02:56Hello, you two
01:03:11Oh, homemade Christmas cookies
01:03:13Thank you very much
01:03:15Ali's a very good baker, too, by the way
01:03:17Oh
01:03:18Yes
01:03:19That's great
01:03:19Hey, everybody
01:03:21Ezra just called
01:03:23And great news
01:03:24The road will be cleared tonight
01:03:26Yes
01:03:28I thought we had a deal
01:03:36Oh
01:03:37What's wrong, Zoe?
01:03:38Well, I made a wish on the snow globe
01:03:41And I thought it was coming true
01:03:43But now I'm not so sure
01:03:45Oh
01:03:46Well, was it something your heart truly wanted?
01:03:49Yes
01:03:50My whole body wanted it
01:03:52Even my toes
01:03:53In that case, I don't think you have anything to worry about
01:03:57Are you sure?
01:03:59I'm sure
01:04:00You just have to be patient
01:04:02Wishes are like Christmas cookies
01:04:04It sometimes takes a while for them to be fully baked
01:04:08Zoe
01:04:10Hi
01:04:13Hi
01:04:13Kiddo
01:04:14Coco's getting cold
01:04:15What about you, Ryan?
01:04:20Have you changed your mind about making a Christmas wish?
01:04:23Oh, no
01:04:24No, I don't really believe in that sort of thing
01:04:27You know, people get busy
01:04:29And they forget about the magic of the holidays
01:04:31But all they have to do is stop for a moment
01:04:34And open their eyes
01:04:36Because that magic
01:04:37It's all around us
01:05:06So you could just take the truck and return the keys to Barbara
01:05:29Okay, thanks
01:05:30Yeah
01:05:31This really is a special place
01:05:36Yeah
01:05:37It really is
01:05:38So
01:05:42You're all set?
01:05:44We are
01:05:45Yeah
01:05:46Off to Florida
01:05:47And that's what you wanted
01:05:49Right?
01:05:50Yeah
01:05:50And you
01:05:52You're off to D.C.
01:05:53Yeah
01:05:54That's the plan
01:05:55Looks like we both got what we wanted
01:05:59Looks like it
01:06:01Ryan
01:06:05Merry Christmas
01:06:12Merry Christmas
01:06:15Allie
01:06:19I wanted to
01:06:22Um
01:06:23Hey, Allie
01:06:25Will you promise to send me pictures of the festival?
01:06:28I want to see the stockings, the choir, and the tree
01:06:31Don't forget the tree
01:06:33Well, I won't
01:06:34I promise
01:06:35It's the only tree I have this year
01:06:37Merry Christmas, Zoe
01:06:39Merry Christmas, Allie
01:06:40Merry Christmas, Ryan
01:06:47Merry Christmas, Allie
01:06:49Dad?
01:06:57Yeah
01:06:58Where's Santa gonna leave all of Allie's presents if she doesn't even have a tree?
01:07:17Good evening
01:07:22Good evening
01:07:24Are you ready for the Christmas festival?
01:07:28Yes, I am
01:07:29Ready for the Christmas festival
01:07:31Are you?
01:07:32I'm definitely ready for Christmas
01:07:34It's a time when wishes come true
01:07:38I always thought that
01:07:42But you don't anymore?
01:07:44No, I
01:07:44I'll always believe in Christmas wishes
01:07:47But
01:07:47What if you don't know what to wish for?
01:07:51Is this about leaving Evergreen?
01:07:53Uh
01:07:53Or Spencer?
01:07:55How did you know that?
01:07:57It's amazing what you learned sitting at a table in the town diner
01:08:00Oh, right, of course
01:08:01Um
01:08:02Well, I think it's
01:08:05It's kind of about both
01:08:06So what did you wish for on the snow globe?
01:08:09Well, I wish that everyone that I love have a Merry Christmas
01:08:12Even though we can't be together
01:08:14And yet here you are in Evergreen
01:08:16With all the people you love
01:08:18But I'm supposed to be in Washington, D.C.
01:08:20The further away you are from where you started
01:08:23The closer you get to where you belong
01:08:25Sometimes you end up right back where you started
01:08:29Because that's the place you're supposed to be
01:08:32Oh, my dear
01:08:37Oh, my dear
01:08:39Good night
01:08:48Good night
01:08:49Good night
01:08:49Hey
01:09:07Spencer
01:09:08What are you doing here?
01:09:10Well, I wanted to stop by
01:09:10I figure if we leave first thing in the morning
01:09:12We can still get to the airport
01:09:13And make it to the firm's Christmas Eve party on time
01:09:15The swanky one?
01:09:17Yeah, the swanky one
01:09:18Um
01:09:19Ellie, what's wrong?
01:09:22Don't you want to go to D.C.?
01:09:24I'm so sorry, Spencer
01:09:26I think I want to stay here
01:09:28For Christmas or?
01:09:31For Christmas
01:09:32And I don't know
01:09:34But why don't you stay here
01:09:37For Christmas?
01:09:38I love this place
01:09:41And I love these people
01:09:42And I want you to understand why
01:09:43Ellie, I love Washington, D.C.
01:09:47And I love my job
01:09:49And the people that I work with are really great
01:09:52I mean, that's where I belong
01:09:54Spencer, I don't think it was just the distance that was getting in our way
01:09:59Ellie, don't do this, okay? Please
01:10:01You do belong in Washington, D.C.
01:10:05And I don't
01:10:06I belong here
01:10:08But what about your new job?
01:10:10I love my job here
01:10:11And I get to take care of tiny little puppies
01:10:14And I get to birth calves
01:10:16That's incredible
01:10:18And I have family
01:10:20And friends
01:10:21And Christmas
01:10:21And a place that I love
01:10:23Listen, I think you're just nervous
01:10:26About making such a big change
01:10:27Well, see, that's the thing
01:10:28I think
01:10:29I thought I was ready for this
01:10:31Big change
01:10:32And I am
01:10:33But I think I thought I had to leave Evergreen
01:10:35In order to find it
01:10:36I kept telling myself I needed more
01:10:39Everything I needed was
01:10:41Right here all along
01:10:43What can I do to convince you that I'm right about this?
01:10:48I think you'd be trying to convince yourself
01:10:51Merry Christmas, Spencer
01:11:01Merry Christmas, Ellie
01:11:04Merry Christmas, Ellie
01:11:04Merry Christmas, Ellie
01:11:31Allie
01:11:42Zoe was worried that Santa might not have a place to put your presents
01:11:47If you didn't have a tree
01:11:48We hope you get everything you want for Christmas
01:11:52Even the pony
01:11:53Thank you
01:11:55For everything
01:11:56Ryan and Zoe
01:11:58Home sweet home
01:12:14Hi, Mom
01:12:16Welcome back, Frank
01:12:17So?
01:12:19Have you talked to him?
01:12:20Oh, he went back to D.C.
01:12:21Oh, honey, not Spencer
01:12:23Ryan
01:12:24Why would I talk to Ryan?
01:12:25Allie
01:12:26He bought you a tree
01:12:28Oh
01:12:29In fact, he bought you two trees
01:12:31If you count them on at Barbara's
01:12:32Mom, it's not like that
01:12:33I know
01:12:34I know
01:12:36And, uh, I'm not saying that whatever happened with Spencer had anything to do with Ryan
01:12:44I mean, those are two totally different things
01:12:46But, Allie
01:12:48They are both things
01:12:51And I just want to make sure that you're
01:12:54Okay
01:12:55With how
01:12:56Both of them ended
01:12:58They might not have left yet
01:13:06I love you
01:13:08Hurry
01:13:12Hello
01:13:19Allie
01:13:20Hi
01:13:21What are you doing here?
01:13:22I was just hoping to catch Ryan and Zoe before they left
01:13:24Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie
01:13:26The cab picked them up about an hour ago
01:13:28They're probably at the airport by now
01:13:30Oh
01:13:30Ladies and gentlemen in the boarding area for flight 993
01:13:37We have been informed that there is a small mechanical issue on the plane
01:13:40And we need to delay boarding
01:13:42I apologize for the inconvenience
01:13:43Boy, that sounds familiar, huh?
01:13:47We should go back to Evergreen
01:13:48Zoe, the flight's delayed, it isn't canceled
01:13:51So if it gets canceled, we can go back to Evergreen
01:13:53No, honey
01:13:55I don't want a rolling from the judges
01:13:57Sorry, kiddo, they're with me on this one
01:14:00Don't let you buy
01:14:00Don't you miss it already?
01:14:03Don't you miss Allie?
01:14:07She isn't mine to miss
01:14:08Come here
01:14:09We're gonna have a happy Christmas
01:14:26We're gonna have a happy Christmas
01:14:28We're gonna have a happy Christmas
01:14:30We're gonna have a Halloween
01:14:32We're gonna have a
01:14:33We feel when it's no wind
01:14:34The frost is in the air
01:14:36Catch the festive feeling
01:14:39Lands are everywhere
01:14:41We can build a snowman
01:14:43We can ride a sleigh
01:14:45Hear the carols playing
01:14:48Sing the night and dig it
01:14:50You look delicious
01:14:53Take any one you want
01:14:55Congratulations, Michelle
01:14:58Oh, thanks
01:14:59I think we actually pulled it off
01:15:01With the help of a snow globe, of course
01:15:02Of course
01:15:03And, Hannah, what about you?
01:15:04Any developments on this wish you had?
01:15:06Oh, no, it was just a silly wish, anyway
01:15:08Oh, I'm so sorry
01:15:09Sorry
01:15:09Hey
01:15:11I'm Hannah
01:15:13Charlie
01:15:14Hi
01:15:16Do you want to get some hot chocolate or apple cider?
01:15:20Yeah, I'd love that
01:15:21Great
01:15:22Oh, Merry Christmas, everyone
01:15:24Oh, it's just magical
01:15:26Merry Christmas, Henry
01:15:28Thank you so much for letting us have the festival here
01:15:31You saved Christmas
01:15:32Oh, no
01:15:33You think?
01:15:35Michelle, everything looks amazing
01:15:37Oh, thanks
01:15:38Isn't it amazing, Ezra?
01:15:41Well, actually, there's...
01:15:46About a single thing I'd change
01:15:49There you go
01:15:51And I just heard the great news
01:15:53That Evergreen's veterinarian is staying foot
01:15:55Yes
01:15:56Yes, she is
01:15:58I just wish we could have convinced that doctor to stay
01:16:00Yeah
01:16:01Me, too
01:16:03He's probably in Florida by now
01:16:06Ho, ho, ho
01:16:10Merry Christmas
01:16:14Woo-hoo
01:16:16Santa has presents
01:16:22Children first
01:16:23Shouldn't be too much longer, kiddo
01:16:30It's okay, dad
01:16:32I'm gonna go see what's going on
01:16:34I'll be right back
01:16:35Thank you
01:16:39Oh, Spencer
01:16:40Hey
01:16:41Hey
01:16:41What, uh, what are you doing here?
01:16:43Uh, still trying to get to Florida
01:16:44You? Same?
01:16:46Yeah, still trying to get to D.C.
01:16:48Seems like all the flights are booked, though
01:16:49Yeah
01:16:50Is, um, Allie here?
01:16:53Uh, no
01:16:53No, she's, uh, she's staying in Evergreen
01:16:56Permanently
01:16:57Oh
01:16:58Um, I'm really sorry
01:17:01Thanks
01:17:03Thank you
01:17:05Well, I'm gonna try the other airlines
01:17:07See if I have any better luck
01:17:09Uh, Merry Christmas
01:17:10Yeah, Merry Christmas
01:17:11What's wrong, dad?
01:17:27Nothing
01:17:28This Christmas
01:17:31It's been the best
01:17:33Really? You think so?
01:17:36It felt like Christmas again
01:17:37Like before Mom
01:17:38Yeah
01:17:42I guess it, I guess it did
01:17:45I just don't understand why the snow globe didn't work
01:17:49Well, what'd you wish for?
01:17:51That we can have Christmas in Evergreen
01:17:53But above Florida will be great, too
01:17:56Did you make a wish?
01:18:02I did
01:18:02I wished for a Merry Christmas
01:18:05And did it come true?
01:18:08Zoe, as long as I'm with you
01:18:10It is going to be a very Merry Christmas
01:18:13So your wish came true
01:18:17I wonder why mine didn't
01:18:20Attention in the gate area
01:18:24All passengers for flight 967 to Orlando
01:18:27I'm sorry to tell you
01:18:28That we are having some mechanical difficulties
01:18:30With the airplane
01:18:31And at this point
01:18:32It looks like we are going to have to cancel the flight
01:18:34What do you wish for?
01:18:49Bye
01:18:52Bye
01:18:52Bye
01:18:54Bye
01:18:55Bye
01:18:55Bye
01:18:56Bye
01:18:57Bye
01:18:57Bye
01:18:58Bye
01:19:00Bye
01:19:03Bye
01:19:03Merry Christmas, Allie.
01:19:06Oh, Merry Christmas, Santa.
01:19:08You were great in there. The kids love you.
01:19:10They are the true spirit of Christmas.
01:19:13But I have to ask you, did your Christmas wish come true?
01:19:17Oh, I think it did.
01:19:19Yeah, maybe not in the way that I'd hoped, but I think I learned something.
01:19:24And what's that, my dear?
01:19:26Sometimes you end up exactly where you're supposed to be.
01:19:29I guess that's why it's called Christmas magic.
01:19:33Maybe.
01:19:34Can I offer you a ride into town?
01:19:36No. I have my own transportation.
01:19:39Okay.
01:19:42Allie!
01:19:43You came back.
01:19:46We missed you.
01:19:47I missed you, too.
01:19:52Zoe? You're here.
01:19:55Do you want to be in the choir still? We go on in a couple minutes.
01:19:59Can I, Dad?
01:20:00Go have fun.
01:20:01What are you doing here?
01:20:05Heard you may be looking for a small-town doctor.
01:20:08Oh, careful. You don't want Ezra to hear you say that. He'll never let you leave.
01:20:12Did your flight get cancelled again?
01:20:13Yes.
01:20:15But that's not why we came back.
01:20:19It's not?
01:20:19No.
01:20:21This has been a completely unexpected, amazing, magical Christmas for both Zoe and me.
01:20:28Because of you.
01:20:31I'm not moving to Washington, D.C.
01:20:34I know.
01:20:36How?
01:20:37Because this is where you're supposed to be.
01:20:38And, Allie, I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to be or not, but I need to find out.
01:20:47Because something keeps bringing me back here.
01:20:54Is it a magical Christmas snow globe?
01:20:58Maybe.
01:20:59Ho, ho, ho.
01:21:23Merry Christmas.
01:21:25Oh, ho, ho.
01:21:28Let's go listen. Come on.
01:21:30Oh, lovely as we go.
01:21:33Nothing all the way.
01:21:34Ha, ha, ha.
01:21:35Well, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I.
01:21:37Make the spirits bright.
01:21:40Oh, what it is to let it sing the same time tonight.
01:21:44Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
01:21:49Oh, one part it is to ride, and one heart's open sway.
01:21:53Hey, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all way
01:21:57Looks like you got your doctor
01:21:59You're right in the land where some can stay
01:22:02The Christmas feast that year was truly special
01:22:24Surrounded by family and friends, old and new
01:22:28The spirit of the holidays was all around them
01:22:31And it lived on for many yuletide seasons to come
01:22:36But perhaps these are stories for another time
01:22:39Until then, hold tight to the magic of Christmas
01:22:43You never know when the next wish might come true
01:22:47Toast! Toast! Toast! Toast to family, to friends, and to Evergreen
01:22:53Merry Christmas!
01:22:55Merry Christmas!
01:22:56Merry Christmas!
01:22:57Toast toast toast to Charlotte
01:22:59Merry Christmas!
01:23:00Merry Christmas!
01:23:04Bravo!
01:23:06Wow we
