00:23:26I
00:23:28I
00:23:30I
00:23:32I
00:23:34I
00:23:36I
00:23:38I
00:23:40I
00:23:42I
00:23:44I
00:23:46I
00:23:48I
00:23:50I
00:23:52I
00:23:54I
00:23:56I
00:23:58I
00:24:00I
00:24:02I
00:24:04I
00:24:06I
00:24:08I
00:24:12I introduced them to your parents.
00:24:14For what?
00:24:16Housing projects.
00:24:19This guy wants to put condos where the orchards are?
00:24:22Well, hold on.
00:24:24Hold on. Don't panic yet, okay?
00:24:26Nothing's been decided.
00:24:27And he's a great guy.
00:24:28You should meet him.
00:24:30In fact, if he'll be at the Chamber of Commerce holiday party Friday night,
00:24:34you should come.
00:24:35Oh, you're still up here.
00:24:44I was going to close up the ladder.
00:24:46Yeah, I'm looking for Grandma's missing ingredient.
00:24:48I thought maybe she wrote the recipe down somewhere else.
00:24:51Okay, well, just remember, sweetie,
00:24:54whatever you make, it's going to be wonderful.
00:24:58Thanks, Mom.
00:24:59I want it to be special.
00:25:02Yeah.
00:25:03Good luck.
00:25:05Love you.
00:25:35I really appreciate your help.
00:25:40You know, I have a feeling the Chamber of Commerce
00:25:43wouldn't revoke my membership
00:25:44if I showed up tonight without a tree.
00:25:46I'm sure the Door County Chamber
00:25:47takes its Christmas very seriously.
00:25:49When I was little, I used to think that this was the most magical place on Earth.
00:26:03I'm 34, and I still think that.
00:26:08My mom used to tell me that these upside-down trees were just for kids on the naughty list.
00:26:13You know that's to display the ornaments better, actually, right?
00:26:16Oh, that's brilliant.
00:26:19What are those?
00:26:24Oh, those are kissing balls.
00:26:27It's a Scandinavian tradition.
00:26:30It is.
00:26:31It's like mistletoe bin.
00:26:34Fancier.
00:26:34Okay, Mr. Christmas.
00:26:37Anything else you'd like to enlighten me on?
00:26:39Oh, absolutely.
00:26:41Come on.
00:26:52Have you ever seen so much Christmas?
00:26:55It's amazing.
00:26:56It's amazing.
00:26:56It's perfect.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:04You should get it.
00:27:05Clara, Sally, I was hoping I'd see you here.
00:27:31Oh, your parents.
00:27:32Hey, Brian.
00:27:33Everett, good to see you by Christmas.
00:27:36Emma.
00:27:36Oh, my gosh.
00:27:38What a great surprise.
00:27:40Oh, my goodness.
00:27:41Emma, look at you.
00:27:43I love his energy.
00:27:44Good to see you.
00:27:46Mitch told me you'd be in town for Christmas.
00:27:48He did, did he?
00:27:49Yeah, the guy can't shut up about you.
00:27:53You'll know Calvin Russo.
00:27:55Calvin, this is Emma Parker.
00:27:57Emma, Calvin.
00:27:58Emma Parker.
00:27:59Finally.
00:28:00Feels like I already know you.
00:28:01Oh, really?
00:28:02Why is that?
00:28:04Well, your dad and I have had a few conversations.
00:28:09We were discussing the orchards.
00:28:11Beautiful property.
00:28:13Yeah, we think so.
00:28:15We're still scheduled to talk at the end of the week?
00:28:17Oh, yeah.
00:28:19Mm-hmm.
00:28:19Still on.
00:28:20Great.
00:28:21Well, it was nice seeing you all.
00:28:23I'm grabbing a drink.
00:28:25I think we'll join you.
00:28:29Dad, what does Calvin want to do with our orchards?
00:28:32Am I...
00:28:33Can we just do this?
00:28:34Just...
00:28:35Did you know that 38% of people feel an elevated level of stress around the holidays?
00:28:50I thought it would be higher.
00:28:55Dad, you told me that you weren't going to sell the orchards.
00:28:57No, no, no.
00:28:59We said we don't know what we're doing yet.
00:29:02It's just a conversation.
00:29:03Yeah, but you...
00:29:04Emma, your father and I have to think about retirement.
00:29:10What?
00:29:11It's...
00:29:11So it's my fault?
00:29:12No, no.
00:29:13That's not what we're saying.
00:29:14Yes, it is.
00:29:15No, it isn't.
00:29:16Yes, it is.
00:29:17You're saying either I step in and run the orchards or they bulldoze them.
00:29:21Right?
00:29:21Emma, it's a lot.
00:29:23Look around.
00:29:23Yeah, but you can afford to hire help.
00:29:26I don't understand.
00:29:27It's about keeping the orchard in the family.
00:29:31It's been in my family for 150 years.
00:29:33Then why are we suddenly having this conversation for the first time?
00:29:36Emma, we always assumed you'd want to come back someday.
00:29:43Like Mitch with the fishery.
00:29:45Family businesses are the Door County way.
00:29:49Guys, this is not fair.
00:29:51I love what I do.
00:29:53I want to take the job in New York.
00:29:55I'm sorry we are not trying to pressure you.
00:29:58But you are.
00:29:59She's not trying to be like that.
00:30:01I don't think you have any idea what it's like.
00:30:03Okay, stop.
00:30:03You think I don't work hard?
00:30:04Please, can we just enjoy this Christmas?
00:30:07We are lucky that we have each other, that we have this time together.
00:30:12Okay?
00:30:14Please?
00:30:15Please?
00:30:23Hey there.
00:30:53Hi.
00:30:53I brought you a coffee.
00:30:56Wow.
00:30:58You're a lifesaver.
00:31:03Successful morning?
00:31:05Yeah, not too bad.
00:31:06Just talking out for the holiday fish boil.
00:31:09Oh, you guys still do that?
00:31:10Yeah, every single Christmas.
00:31:12People drive for miles around for Santa's Whitefish.
00:31:16Your dad still dresses up as Santa?
00:31:18Oh, yeah.
00:31:20Sometimes, even when it's not Christmas, it's getting weird.
00:31:22I guess I'll have to be there.
00:31:28I guess you will.
00:31:32Now, maybe after we get these loaded up, you and I can grab some breakfast.
00:31:39Sounds great.
00:31:39All right.
00:31:45Well, you want to help me load these?
00:31:47So, what time did you get out there this morning?
00:32:015 a.m.
00:32:03Best time to be out there.
00:32:06Quiet, stillness.
00:32:08The eyelash-freezing, soul-crushing cold.
00:32:11Ah, you get used to it.
00:32:12You should come out with me sometime.
00:32:15Well, we'll see.
00:32:17So, what did you think of Calvin?
00:32:22Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.
00:32:28Do you ever regret moving back?
00:32:30Oh, she's considering it.
00:32:32I don't know.
00:32:37Do I regret it?
00:32:41No.
00:32:44Was it a compromise?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:48I liked venture capital.
00:32:51I liked helping companies get their ideas off the ground.
00:32:53I was good at it.
00:32:55And that meant something to me.
00:32:57Then why'd you leave?
00:33:00Because it was profit over people.
00:33:02The thing is,
00:33:05I felt like I had value.
00:33:10I'm in no purpose.
00:33:13And I realized one day those are not the same.
00:33:17Back here,
00:33:20I have purpose.
00:33:24If you want to go do the grind in New York, you should.
00:33:27You totally should.
00:33:28You'll work hard.
00:33:30You'll become super successful.
00:33:32And people will love you for it.
00:33:33Because how could they not?
00:33:37I mean,
00:33:38because you're super talented.
00:33:41I love you.
00:33:41I love you.
00:33:50Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:33:51Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:33:52Welcome to our annual holiday fish boil.
00:33:55This is a beloved tradition here at Henriksen's Fishery.
00:33:58And we're thrilled to have you with us.
00:34:01Yeah.
00:34:03Back in the 1800s, the early settlers in Door County
00:34:06had a whole lot of hungry lumbermen to feed.
00:34:11What do they have plenty of?
00:34:13Fish.
00:34:14That's right, fish. What kind of fish?
00:34:16White fish.
00:34:17What kind of white fish?
00:34:19Lake Michigan white fish.
00:34:21That's right, Lake Michigan white fish.
00:34:23So, in celebration, Santa here and this trusty elf
00:34:28went out and caught some fresh this morning.
00:34:32Now, here in a second,
00:34:34I'm going to goose the fire with a little kerosene.
00:34:38And when that happens,
00:34:40the kettle's going to boil over,
00:34:42washing away all the fish oil that floats to the top.
00:34:46Sound good?
00:34:47Yeah!
00:34:47Yeah!
00:34:48All right.
00:34:53I need everybody to take a big step back.
00:34:57Three,
00:34:58two,
00:35:00one!
00:35:00One!
00:35:02Woo!
00:35:03Woo!
00:35:04Woo!
00:35:04Woo!
00:35:04Woo!
00:35:04Woo!
00:35:05Wow!
00:35:06Yeah!
00:35:06Yeah!
00:35:12Now, these lovely gentlemen are going to grab the fish.
00:35:15They're going to take it inside.
00:35:17And as they pass through,
00:35:19you can follow them in, grab a seat,
00:35:20and we will serve up your feast shortly.
00:35:23Yeah!
00:35:24Woo!
00:35:24Woo!
00:35:27Woo!
00:35:29Hey, you are the grilled cheese chef, aren't you?
00:35:35You're the dessert lady.
00:35:37Yeah.
00:35:38What are you doing here?
00:35:39Waiting for my dad.
00:35:41Oh, where's he?
00:35:42Right over there.
00:35:44That was awesome, Dad.
00:35:46Oh, thanks, buddy.
00:35:48Hey, buddy.
00:35:50Max?
00:35:53This is my old friend, Emma.
00:35:55We've already met.
00:35:56Oh.
00:35:58How's that?
00:35:59At the bookstore.
00:36:02Ah, of course.
00:36:03Yeah, bookstore.
00:36:07I'll tell you what.
00:36:08I'll let you run on inside, okay?
00:36:10And I'll be in there to make.
00:36:12Okay.
00:36:12All right.
00:36:13Thanks.
00:36:14Bye, Emma.
00:36:15Bye, Max.
00:36:15Bye.
00:36:15Bye.
00:36:16Bye.
00:36:16Bye.
00:36:16Bye.
00:36:16Bye.
00:36:17Bye.
00:36:17Bye.
00:36:17Bye.
00:36:17Bye.
00:36:18Bye.
00:36:18Bye.
00:36:18Bye.
00:36:19Bye.
00:36:19Bye.
00:36:19Bye.
00:36:19Bye.
00:36:19Bye.
00:36:20Bye.
00:36:21I'm so confused.
00:36:24Is it the elf hat?
00:36:28I'm kidding, bad joke.
00:36:30You have a son?
00:36:32I do.
00:36:34How did I not know this?
00:36:35How did no one think to tell me this?
00:36:38It's complicated.
00:36:39Yeah, I'll say it is.
00:36:42Why does it bother you so much?
00:36:45It doesn't.
00:36:46I just think it's really weird that you never mentioned it until now.
00:36:49Yeah.
00:36:50You're right.
00:36:51I'm sorry.
00:36:52I should have mentioned it.
00:36:53I think I was just nervous too.
00:36:54Why?
00:36:55Because I...
00:36:56What?
00:36:57Yeah, my dad really needs my help in there.
00:36:58Can we talk later?
00:36:58Yeah, sure.
00:36:59Thanks.
00:37:00Thanks.
00:37:01Thanks.
00:37:02Thanks.
00:37:03Thanks.
00:37:04Thanks.
00:37:05So what's the story?
00:37:06It's...
00:37:07It's actually really sweet.
00:37:08I mean, it's tragic, but...
00:37:09So what's the story?
00:37:10I mean, it's...
00:37:11It's tragic, but sweet.
00:37:12Um...
00:37:13Max isn't Mitch's biological story.
00:37:14So what's the story?
00:37:15It's...
00:37:16It's actually really sweet.
00:37:17I mean, it's tragic, but sweet.
00:37:21Um...
00:37:22Max isn't Mitch's biological son.
00:37:28Oh.
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:30Before Mitch was back from Boston, he was engaged to a woman.
00:37:32named Maria.
00:37:33Maria.
00:37:34Maria.
00:37:35Maria.
00:37:36Maria.
00:37:37Maria.
00:37:38I mean, it's tragic, but sweet.
00:37:41Um...
00:37:42Max isn't Mitch's biological son.
00:37:44Oh.
00:37:45Yeah.
00:37:46Before Mitch moved back from Boston, he was engaged to a woman named Maria.
00:37:51Maria had Max from a previous relationship, and his biological father wanted nothing to do
00:37:58with him, so Maria got full custody, and Mitch, well, he's been in Max's life since he was a baby, basically raised him.
00:38:06What happened to Maria?
00:38:07Ovarian cancer.
00:38:09Oh.
00:38:10Yeah.
00:38:11She didn't know until it was too late.
00:38:13She passed away weeks before their wedding.
00:38:17Wow, that's terrible.
00:38:18Since Maria didn't have much family, Mitch petitioned to adopt Max after she died, so...
00:38:25He's Mitch's son now, and everywhere that matters.
00:38:35So, I've been thinking about your pie.
00:38:40Enjoy.
00:38:41You wanted to give the recipe your own fun twist.
00:38:45Yeah, exactly.
00:38:46Right.
00:38:47So, these are some classic Wisconsin cheddars.
00:38:50This is our old-fashioned hoop cheddar.
00:38:52This is our new world cheddar, but this, this is the one I want you to try.
00:38:58Okay, what's so great about it?
00:39:00Okay, this is Renard's Cherry Cheddar.
00:39:04A Wisconsin legend.
00:39:05A cheese lover's dream.
00:39:07Aged six months.
00:39:09It's buttery, complex, sweet, and savory.
00:39:13Tangy, dynamic, and made with real Door County cherries from Parker Orchards.
00:39:20They better be from Parker Orchards.
00:39:22Ha!
00:39:23I love this cheese more than my husband, and soon...
00:39:26You'll see why.
00:39:36Mmm.
00:39:37Oh.
00:39:38Oh, wow.
00:39:39Right?
00:39:40Is there...
00:39:41Is there vanilla in there?
00:39:43No, it's, it's a natural reaction between the cheese and the cherries.
00:39:48It's incredible, right?
00:39:50I mean, you could grate this cheese right into your pie crust.
00:39:54That's a great idea.
00:39:56Hey.
00:39:57Hey.
00:39:58Hey, Mitch.
00:39:59Um, well isn't this a small town moment?
00:40:15Yeah, I guess so.
00:40:17I called you last night, after the...
00:40:20I know.
00:40:21Yeah.
00:40:22Awesome.
00:40:23I actually need to check on a high priority mascarpone shipment.
00:40:27Um, I'll see you lovebirds later.
00:40:29I should have told you about Max.
00:40:43It's okay.
00:40:44Really, it, it just took me by surprise.
00:40:48I, I, I just didn't know how.
00:40:51Max is, uh, he's on my, he's on my bio.
00:40:54I know.
00:40:55I know.
00:40:56Jen told me everything.
00:40:59Max is really lucky to have you.
00:41:03And I'm, I'm really sorry about Maria.
00:41:12You would have liked her.
00:41:14I'm sure I would have.
00:41:19Mitch, I'm so sorry.
00:41:24I, when you said that you lived a lot of life before, I never imagined.
00:41:30Yeah.
00:41:33Can you understand why it's not the first thing I want to tell people about myself?
00:41:36Uh, of course.
00:41:39But, adopting Max is the most selfless thing that I've ever heard.
00:41:45Not really.
00:41:48He is the biggest joy in my life.
00:41:55Hey, I've got some practice pies that I've got to bake later on.
00:41:59Do Max want to come by and be the official taste testers?
00:42:03Really?
00:42:04Yeah.
00:42:05It would be our honor.
00:42:06Great.
00:42:07Um, you want to say five o'clock?
00:42:08Five is perfect.
00:42:09See ya.
00:42:10Bye.
00:42:11Bye.
00:42:12Bye.
00:42:13Bye.
00:42:14Bye.
00:42:15Bye.
00:42:16Bye.
00:42:17Bye.
00:42:18Bye.
00:42:19Bye.
00:42:20Bye.
00:42:21Bye.
00:42:22Bye.
00:42:23Bye.
00:42:24Bye.
00:42:26Bye.
00:42:27Bye.
00:42:28Bye.
00:42:29Bye.
00:42:30Bye.
00:42:31Bye.
00:42:32Bye.
00:42:33Bye.
00:42:39Hello.
00:42:40Hello.
00:42:41My sous chef and my apprentice.
00:42:43Come on in.
00:42:45Take your coats.
00:42:46You excited to do this?
00:42:49Yeah.
00:42:50What?
00:43:02Merry Christmas.
00:43:04Oh, my gosh.
00:43:05Is that for me?
00:43:06Yep.
00:43:08We wanted to wait, but we thought now would be the perfect time.
00:43:12Oh, my gosh.
00:43:14I love it.
00:43:16This is so cute.
00:43:18Did you make this?
00:43:20Yep.
00:43:23You'll have to break it in, though.
00:43:24That one looks like it's got a few pies under its belt.
00:43:28Oh, well, this one was my grandmother's.
00:43:31Thank you for noticing.
00:43:32But obviously, I have to wear the new one.
00:43:34Obviously.
00:43:35Oh, I got it.
00:43:50You're welcome.
00:43:52I'm not sure that it'll be up to famous chef standards, but we had to try.
00:43:58Well, luckily, I'm not a famous chef.
00:43:59Not yet.
00:44:00Okay, okay, let's start.
00:44:02What do I have to do?
00:44:03Okay, first things first.
00:44:05I need you both to swear yourselves to secrecy.
00:44:07This recipe is classified.
00:44:09Oh.
00:44:11Scout's on it, right, Max?
00:44:12The crust makes the pie.
00:44:19And the trick to a delicious pie crust is cold, cold, cold butter and ice water.
00:44:27No exceptions.
00:44:27Why does it have to be so cold?
00:44:30That's what makes the pie crust flaky.
00:44:33Can you grab the butter from the fridge?
00:44:34Yes, ma'am.
00:44:35Now, some people add sugar to their pie crust, but I don't think it needs it.
00:44:42You can just add it right in.
00:44:46Okay, great.
00:44:47So, you're going to take these little pieces of butter and you're just going to squish them
00:44:52with your fingertips.
00:44:54Ooh, just like that.
00:44:56The flower's kind of soft.
00:44:58Yeah?
00:44:59Good job.
00:45:00This one is big.
00:45:01Oh, yeah.
00:45:02Get it.
00:45:03Smash it a couple times.
00:45:04Yeah.
00:45:05Okay, you keep doing that and I'm going to go get the secret ingredient.
00:45:10Wisconsin cherry cheddar cheese with Parker orchard cherries.
00:45:14Ooh.
00:45:15You want to try a piece?
00:45:15Sounds good.
00:45:21Yum.
00:45:22Yeah?
00:45:22You like it?
00:45:23Very good.
00:45:23I'm going to add it right into the pie crust.
00:45:28It's our secret.
00:45:29You cannot tell a single soul, okay?
00:45:31My lips are sealed.
00:45:33Max?
00:45:33First bites in three, two, one.
00:45:51Whoa.
00:45:52Super whoa.
00:45:53Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:45:55Emma, this is it.
00:45:56This is the pie.
00:45:59What?
00:46:00What's wrong?
00:46:01It's good.
00:46:01It's just not exactly what I want.
00:46:03More for me.
00:46:07Emma, I'm telling you, this is a winner.
00:46:09It's good.
00:46:10It's just not as good as Grandma's.
00:46:12Oh, come on.
00:46:13I find that hard to believe.
00:46:14I'm sure she was a good teacher.
00:46:16Yeah, she was.
00:46:18Did you see that picture?
00:46:20That was the last year she won the bake-off.
00:46:22No way, really?
00:46:23Mm-hmm.
00:46:23She looks really happy.
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:31To her, baking wasn't just about the food.
00:46:34It's about the people.
00:46:37That's why she liked Christmas so much.
00:46:39She was surrounded by family.
00:46:42She was competitive.
00:46:45The cherry pie bake-off meant the world to her.
00:46:47Really?
00:46:48Oh, yeah.
00:46:49She used to tell me that we'd have a bakery together someday.
00:46:56Be part of the farm stand.
00:46:59And we'd daydream about all the recipes that we'd make.
00:47:04How we'd decorate it.
00:47:09That sounds really great.
00:47:12Yeah.
00:47:13It's weird.
00:47:19It's late.
00:47:21Hello?
00:47:23Oh, Serena.
00:47:24Hi.
00:47:25Hey.
00:47:26Merry Christmas.
00:47:27Yeah.
00:47:28Hey, were you by chance able to...
00:47:31Oh.
00:47:33Oh, my gosh.
00:47:34Really?
00:47:35Wow.
00:47:37Wow.
00:47:39Oh, that's amazing.
00:47:41Oh, my gosh.
00:47:41I'm so excited.
00:47:43Yeah, please send it over.
00:47:46Really.
00:47:48Yes.
00:47:48Yeah.
00:47:49I'll talk to you soon.
00:47:50Bye.
00:47:57Good news?
00:48:02It looks like the job at La Panache is happening.
00:48:08For real?
00:48:10Executive pastry chef.
00:48:12I mean, that's great.
00:48:18Thanks.
00:48:22Nobody deserves it more than you.
00:48:28Um, we should probably go.
00:48:31Are you sure?
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:33Yeah, it's getting late.
00:48:34Okay.
00:48:34Okay.
00:48:35Oh, look.
00:48:47Oh, look.
00:48:47Oh, look.
00:48:47There you go, bud.
00:48:58Yeah, Santa's watching.
00:49:03Even though your spot on the nice list is pretty solid,
00:49:08I don't want to push it, okay?
00:49:10Okay.
00:49:17Thanks for decorating the barn with me, sweetheart.
00:49:22Of course.
00:49:27Oh.
00:49:29That's pretty, right?
00:49:31It's a kissing bowl.
00:49:33A what?
00:49:34A kissing bowl?
00:49:35You don't know about these either?
00:49:36It's a combination of a wreath and a mistletoe.
00:49:39It's a Scandinavian tradition.
00:49:41Oh, so you kiss underneath it?
00:49:43That's the idea.
00:49:44It's cute.
00:49:47You better watch out if Mitch comes around.
00:49:50Okay, Mom.
00:49:51I'm sorry.
00:49:52I'm sorry.
00:49:52I just...
00:49:53I love you two together.
00:49:56Hey, you know that...
00:49:58He is the one who broke up with me.
00:50:00Right?
00:50:01Do you remember that?
00:50:02Of course I do.
00:50:03But that was years ago,
00:50:04and everybody breaks up before they go to college.
00:50:11Hey, so, uh...
00:50:13I got the job at La Panache.
00:50:17Wow.
00:50:20How?
00:50:21When did you...
00:50:22I found out last night.
00:50:25Oh.
00:50:27Well, honey, that's...
00:50:29That's, um...
00:50:32Congratulations.
00:50:35You don't have to do that.
00:50:37Do what?
00:50:38That thing where you pretend to be excited for me,
00:50:42but actually you're disappointed.
00:50:44I am excited for you.
00:50:48Really.
00:50:50It's just...
00:50:51Mom, I can't have the kind of career that I want
00:50:54and run the orchards.
00:50:56Can't you guys just wait a couple years?
00:50:58Maybe you'll get a better offer,
00:51:00or maybe...
00:51:00Maybe I'll be ready by then.
00:51:02Honestly, I don't know if your dad and I have another year in us.
00:51:11What does that mean?
00:51:14It means you should take the job in New York,
00:51:18and your dad and I will figure it out.
00:51:20The thing is,
00:51:29if a sale's going to happen,
00:51:30I need to know soon.
00:51:33How soon?
00:51:34By the end of the year.
00:51:36That's not much time at all.
00:51:39Can't you give us a couple of months?
00:51:41Unfortunately not.
00:51:43With the building season approaching this spring,
00:51:45we need to put things in motion now.
00:51:47The Orchards' next chapter will honor what you built.
00:51:51No big-box stores, strip malls.
00:51:54We develop housing that fits here.
00:51:56Homes that feel like they belong.
00:52:01Well, okay.
00:52:02I guess we'll let you know.
00:52:04Soon.
00:52:07Yeah, soon.
00:52:11What are you making, Max?
00:52:13A Christmas fish.
00:52:14Oh, a Christmas fish.
00:52:17Of course, why not?
00:52:18Yeah, why not?
00:52:19Yeah.
00:52:21So this is a family tradition?
00:52:24It sure is.
00:52:25My mom convinced us years ago
00:52:27that making homemade Christmas cards
00:52:30and homemade ornaments
00:52:31would sound a lot more mean.
00:52:34Wait, all of those are homemade?
00:52:37Yeah.
00:52:39Well, most of them.
00:52:41I might have gotten a few
00:52:45at craft stores
00:52:47or at Chris Kindlemarkt.
00:52:50Want to see the angel?
00:52:52Made that in fifth grade.
00:52:53Yeah.
00:52:55Pretty impressive, huh?
00:52:56Uh, yes.
00:52:58Well, the one-eyed snowman.
00:53:01That's Max's.
00:53:02I ran out of glue.
00:53:04I hate it when that happens.
00:53:06Can't find a gym like that
00:53:08at a store now, can you?
00:53:09Mm-mm.
00:53:12This is funny.
00:53:13Yeah.
00:53:14This is fun.
00:53:16Oh, nice.
00:53:21Hey, look.
00:53:22That's a hot talk.
00:53:23Like that?
00:53:24Yeah.
00:53:25Can we get one, Dad?
00:53:26Of course.
00:53:27Whiskey, you want to?
00:53:29No.
00:53:29I'm all right.
00:53:30I'll see you in a bit.
00:53:30Okay, all right.
00:53:31See you later.
00:53:33Alligator.
00:53:34It's all right.
00:53:35All right, let's go.
00:53:35All right.
00:53:35All right.
00:53:35All right.
00:53:35All right, let's go.
00:54:00Oh.
00:54:01Hi.
00:54:02You're Emma Parker, right?
00:54:04Hi.
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:05I just wanted to introduce myself.
00:54:07I'm Teresa Brown from Midwest Living Magazine.
00:54:09I was just talking to your dad over at your booth.
00:54:13Nice.
00:54:14Your dad says you might have the winning cherry pie recipe.
00:54:18Did he say that?
00:54:19He is a big fan.
00:54:20He's also a bit biased.
00:54:21Yes, but the Parkers do have a winning history.
00:54:24I'm writing a piece on the Chris Kindle market
00:54:26and all the Christmas traditions up here,
00:54:28including the cherry pie bake-off.
00:54:30Can you tell me about your pie?
00:54:32Yeah, it's a take on my grandmother's award-winning recipe,
00:54:35but with my own twist.
00:54:36Can you give me any recipe secrets?
00:54:38Unfortunately, no.
00:54:40Legally binding family oath.
00:54:42Oh, do you work in the family business?
00:54:46No, I don't actually.
00:54:48I'm actually a pastry chef at Lepinache in New York.
00:54:52Lepinache!
00:54:53I know that place.
00:54:54Oh, quite impressive.
00:54:55He must have quite a knack in the kitchen.
00:54:57Yeah, well, we'll see if the judges agree.
00:54:59Well, I'm sure we'll talk soon.
00:55:01I'm going to go check on some of the other contestants.
00:55:03Good luck in the bake-off.
00:55:16There you go.
00:55:18Enjoy.
00:55:19Emma.
00:55:20Hey, can you cover the booth?
00:55:22I'm going to go find your mom.
00:55:22Yeah, sure.
00:55:23No problem.
00:55:23Enjoy some.
00:55:38Hey, don't you look like a perfect Christmas card in there?
00:55:43I don't feel like it.
00:55:44Yeah, the, uh, Mitch conundrum.
00:55:55Have you told him how you feel yet?
00:55:57Why?
00:55:58So we can both be sad and confused when I leave?
00:56:00I don't trust that Calvin guy.
00:56:13I feel like he's pressuring my parents.
00:56:16I need to talk to him myself.
00:56:17I need to talk to him myself.
00:56:30Okay.
00:56:32Be assertive.
00:56:40Emma, hey.
00:56:41Hey, Calvin.
00:56:42Thanks for your time.
00:56:44I'm happy to.
00:56:45Have a seat.
00:56:45So, what's going on?
00:56:51Well, I'd like to know how you convinced my parents to sell you their orchard.
00:56:56Convince them?
00:56:58I didn't convince them.
00:57:00They approached me.
00:57:02They approached you?
00:57:04Yeah, through Mitch.
00:57:07Well, I think technically Mitch's parents talked to your parents,
00:57:10and then your parents talked to Mitch,
00:57:12and then he put us in touch.
00:57:13Okay.
00:57:18Well, why do they have to sell right now?
00:57:20What's the rush?
00:57:21They love that place.
00:57:23Emma, from what I understand,
00:57:26they may not want to sell it,
00:57:28but they need to.
00:57:30What do you mean?
00:57:31They're strained.
00:57:33Financially.
00:57:34No, they're not.
00:57:37That's what I was told.
00:57:39They thought that things might improve if you stepped in,
00:57:42but it doesn't sound like that's happening.
00:57:47Emma, look, I'm not the bad guy here.
00:57:50I'm just trying to do my job and help your parents.
00:57:52I thought that you knew.
00:57:56No, I didn't.
00:58:01I may have overstepped.
00:58:03No, you didn't.
00:58:04Thank you for telling me.
00:58:07Thank you for your time.
00:58:13Merry Christmas.
00:58:14Merry Christmas.
00:58:15Merry Christmas.
00:58:15Merry Christmas.
00:58:15Merry Christmas.
00:58:15Merry Christmas.
00:58:17Merry Christmas.
00:58:22Merry Christmas.
00:58:24Hi, sweetie.
00:58:25Where were you?
00:58:27You wanted Tom and Jerry?
00:58:29I went to talk to Calvin.
00:58:32Why?
00:58:34Why didn't you tell me you were having financial problems?
00:58:37Ah.
00:58:38We didn't want you to worry about our financial situation.
00:58:42Worry?
00:58:43I...
00:58:43I could have helped.
00:58:45I would have helped.
00:58:47Well, honey, there's...
00:58:48There's nothing that you could have done.
00:58:51Well, you don't know that.
00:58:52Because you never even bothered to ask.
00:58:54We wanted you to come back because you wanted to, not out of some guilt.
00:58:59And you thought I would feel less guilty by finding out like this?
00:59:03Look, we only did what we thought was best for you.
00:59:07How long have you been sitting on this?
00:59:09A couple of years.
00:59:15Years?
00:59:16We were going to tell you this trip.
00:59:19And then we found out about your job and we asked Mitch.
00:59:22You...
00:59:23You asked Mitch what?
00:59:26We asked him what he thought and...
00:59:28We wanted to know if he thought there was a chance that you'd stay.
00:59:35What did he say?
00:59:38He said it wasn't even a question that you had to take that job.
00:59:41Mm-hmm.
00:59:42I gotta go.
00:59:43Oh, good heavens.
00:59:48Emma!
00:59:48Oh, my God.
01:00:18Just in time for Christmas, huh?
01:00:30I just stopped by to tell you that I'm leaving.
01:00:34I'm going back to Chicago after the bake-off.
01:00:41Well, I knew you'd be heading back, but not before Christmas.
01:00:46You lied to me.
01:00:48I lied to you.
01:00:50You knew that my parents were struggling.
01:00:51You didn't even think I deserved to know.
01:00:55It wasn't my place to tell you, Ella.
01:00:58They were waiting for the right time.
01:01:00Oh, yeah, the right time.
01:01:02When?
01:01:03Mitch?
01:01:03Next Christmas?
01:01:05When I come back to find a housing development where our orchard used to be?
01:01:07I didn't want you to feel trapped.
01:01:15Trapped?
01:01:15Yeah.
01:01:15I knew if they told you, you'd think you had to stay, and you don't.
01:01:20You have this incredible opportunity.
01:01:22You couldn't even pretend like you wanted me to stay?
01:01:25What?
01:01:26You didn't even hesitate.
01:01:27You just told them that I should go, like it wasn't even a question.
01:01:29Yeah, because this is what you've always wanted.
01:01:31It was your dream.
01:01:37Emma, I didn't tell him you should go because that's what I wanted.
01:01:39I told him you should go because I thought that's what you wanted.
01:01:43You didn't even ask me.
01:01:49Will you bring Max by the bake-off tomorrow so I can say goodbye?
01:01:56Sure.
01:02:09I'll see you next time.
01:02:39Merry Christmas, huh?
01:02:44Yeah.
01:02:50Is it with me?
01:03:06You went to see Mitch?
01:03:09Yeah.
01:03:16This orchard's been in my family for 150 years.
01:03:20And now...
01:03:24Five generations later, I'm the one who can't keep it alive.
01:03:28I mean...
01:03:31No, Dad, there were a lot of factors.
01:03:34It's not...
01:03:35There were...
01:03:36It's still hard.
01:03:37Yeah.
01:03:37I felt a lot of...
01:03:44Pride in keeping it a family operation.
01:03:51Mother and I should have hired help years ago.
01:03:56I think I was...
01:04:01Embarrassed.
01:04:07I...
01:04:07I know how hard you worked for your career.
01:04:11I'm sorry.
01:04:12No, Dad.
01:04:19I just...
01:04:24I love my job.
01:04:29And I'm really good at it.
01:04:30And I want to pursue it.
01:04:33No, if you're not interested, that's fine.
01:04:37We just have to learn to let go of what's not serving us anymore.
01:04:42What if I go in that pie contest?
01:04:49What if I go in that pie contest?
01:04:51Get you all that great PR?
01:04:52Then I hope whoever reads about it tracks you down in New York and gives you a ton of business.
01:05:00Your mother would love that, though.
01:05:01We just...
01:05:02We just want you to be happy, and...
01:05:07That's all we've ever wanted, you know?
01:05:10I know, Dad.
01:05:12It's gonna be okay.
01:05:15I know, Dad.
01:05:21It's gonna be okay.
01:05:24You say so.
01:05:28I love you.
01:05:44Let's do things.
01:05:58You hate me.
01:06:01But we've never done any time.
01:06:02Hey, I thought you were going to make it in the morning.
01:06:21I am, but I wanted to try something first.
01:06:23Oh, yeah?
01:06:24What's that?
01:06:27Cardamom!
01:06:28Oh, my God.
01:06:29Of course.
01:06:30How can we forget that?
01:06:32I know.
01:06:35You know the recipe was in the apron the entire time?
01:06:37You're kidding.
01:06:39The little piece fell out when I was cleaning up.
01:06:42Wow.
01:06:44So, so you made Grandma's exact recipe?
01:06:48No, I still put my twist on it.
01:06:51But now it's both of hers.
01:06:55Can I try a piece?
01:06:56Yeah, I was hoping you'd ask.
01:06:59Oh, great.
01:07:02How is it?
01:07:09Emma, it is wonderful.
01:07:16Mmm.
01:07:18Mmm.
01:07:23Mmm.
01:07:24Honey, Grandma would be so proud of you.
01:07:28We all are.
01:07:35Thanks, Mom.

01:08:05Thanks, Mom.
01:09:06Hi, this is a mascarpone whipped cream topper.
01:09:20Can you make sure that the judges get a dollop on their pie?
01:09:23Thanks.
01:09:27Good morning, Emma.
01:09:29Hi, Teresa.
01:09:30I can't wait to try your pie.
01:09:32Could be a big day for Parker Orchards.
01:09:34I hope so.
01:09:36Good luck.
01:09:43Emma!
01:09:44Hey, buddy.
01:09:46We came to cheer you on.
01:09:49Max also has something for you.
01:09:51Oh, yeah.
01:09:52Did you make this yourself?
01:09:53It's a Christmas card.
01:09:55That helped a little.
01:09:57Homemade Christmas cards are the very best kind.
01:10:00I'll read it later, okay?
01:10:01Okay.
01:10:02Bye, Emma.
01:10:03Bye.
01:10:04We'll see you after.
01:10:04Welcome, everyone.
01:10:22I'm Teresa Brown from Midwest Living Magazine, and I'm thrilled to be your host for this year's
01:10:28Door County Christmas Cherry Pie Contest.
01:10:31I have to say, I just love it up here.
01:10:42I mean, look at this.
01:10:43Look at this Chris Kindle Market.
01:10:45Oh, it's beautiful.
01:10:48All right.
01:10:49All right.
01:10:51As you know, the winning pie will be featured in next month's issue of Midwest Living, so
01:10:57let's hear it for our contestants.
01:11:01It's time for the judges to do their thing, but first, I want to introduce you to our very
01:11:09special celebrity guest judge, Green Bay Packers legend, Amon Green.
01:11:15Thank you for being here.
01:11:17Go Pack Go!

01:11:24Go Pack Go!
01:11:24Judges, are you ready?
01:11:26All right.
01:11:27Taste away.
01:11:27Go Pack Go!
01:11:50Oh, my God.
01:12:20Thank you, Iman.
01:12:26Our judges have made their decisions.
01:12:30In third place, pie number six from Sequest Farms, Kristen Sequest.
01:12:39Wonderful.
01:12:43All right.
01:12:45Congratulations, Kristen.
01:12:47In second place, pie number two from Scaturo Baking Co., Rob Scaturo.

01:13:08And here we go.
01:13:10The winner of this year's Door County Christmas Cherry Pie Bake Off is pie number five from Parker Cherry Orchards, Emma Parker.
01:13:23Here we go.
01:13:30Emma!
01:13:31Emma!
01:13:33Emma!
01:13:37Where is she?
01:13:40Hello.
01:13:41She's on camera.
01:13:42Well, this is unexpected.
01:13:47Sally, Brian, would you like to come up and accept the award on behalf of Parker Orchards?
01:13:52Come on.
01:13:55Everyone, Sally and Brian Parker.
01:13:57On behalf of Parker Orchards, our daughter, Emma, and her incredible cherry pie, we humbly accept this prize.
01:16:15I am really glad you're here, Clara.
01:16:19Oh, are you kidding? We wouldn't miss it.
01:16:23Still no word from Emma?
01:16:25Nothing. I have called, I've texted.
01:16:28Look, I just...
01:16:29I wish we handled this differently.
01:16:32You know, she seemed better last night.
01:16:33I just didn't realize...
01:16:35Well, you were just trying to do the right thing for her.
01:16:36I mean, it's not a mistake.
01:16:38That's... that's being a good parent.
01:16:44Let's get the food.
01:16:45Yeah.
01:16:49All right.
01:16:52Oh.
01:17:00Ha! There it is.
01:17:02Ha!
01:17:03Oh, man.
01:17:04Triple six for 18.
01:17:05That closes me up now, boo.
01:17:08Okay, miss, you're up.
01:17:10Let's see what you can do.
01:17:11Nah.
01:17:12I'm good.
01:17:12What?
01:17:15Don't think you can beat your old man, huh?
01:17:19Come on.
01:17:20Hey.
01:17:21You want to give me a hand bringing that cooler out back inside?
01:17:24Yeah.
01:17:24Sure, Brian.
01:17:26I'll be right out.
01:17:27Hey, uh...
01:17:34I just wanted to say that even if she's upset right now,
01:17:39I know what you were trying to do.
01:17:41And I believe that one day she's going to be grateful for it.
01:17:47Hm.
01:17:48Yeah.
01:17:52Maybe.
01:17:55I'm grateful for it.
01:17:57Thanks, Brian.
01:18:13Uh, Everett and Clara, you guys are over there.
01:18:16Okay.
01:18:17This all looks so delicious, Sally.
01:18:20Yes.
01:18:22Where's Dad?
01:18:23Oh, I think he's going to be here in a minute.
01:18:25Mm-hmm.
01:18:27Merry Christmas.
01:18:29Emma!
01:18:31Sorry we're late.
01:18:32And, um, I brought a friend with me.
01:18:34I hope you don't mind.
01:18:35God.
01:18:37We were so worried about you.
01:18:39Where did you go?
01:18:41To the orchard.
01:18:43And then to talk to Calvin.
01:18:46Because I decided I'm not going to take the job in New York.
01:18:50What?
01:18:52You're going...
01:18:52I'm going to stay here.
01:18:54And I'm ready to take over the family business as soon as you're ready to give me the reins.
01:18:58Oh, they were yours.
01:19:01But hold on.
01:19:02I don't understand what's going on.
01:19:03I know what.
01:19:04Well, when I won the bake-off, I thought I had to choose.
01:19:09And I realized maybe I don't.
01:19:11And that's where I come in.
01:19:13Emma and I talked.
01:19:14Instead of buying the orchard, I'd like to invest in them.
01:19:19Calvin's going to finance a new state-of-the-art bakery as part of the newly renovated Parker Orchard Farm Stand.
01:19:25Oh!
01:19:26Is this real?
01:19:31Yeah.
01:19:31I don't have to go anywhere, Mom.
01:19:33I can stay here and we can build something together.
01:19:37Grandma Effa would have loved this.
01:19:40Yeah.
01:19:40I think so, too.
01:19:42Merry Christmas, Emma.
01:19:45Merry Christmas, Pops.
01:19:47I'm so glad you're going to stay.
01:19:49Me, too, buddy.
01:19:51Do you know what?
01:19:52What?
01:19:54Your card had something to do with it.
01:19:55Is that my card that I gave you?
01:19:58Yep.
01:19:59Wow.
01:19:59That's my card.
01:20:04Where's Mitch?
01:20:21Hey.
01:20:23Hi.
01:20:25Were you planning on spending Christmas Eve out here by yourself?
01:20:32What happened?
01:20:36Where'd you go after the contest?
01:20:41I just needed some time to think.
01:20:46I owe you an apology.
01:20:47No, you don't know.
01:20:51I owe you an apology.
01:20:53I should have told you about the Orchard.
01:20:55You were right.
01:20:56You deserve to know.
01:20:58I just didn't want anything to hold you back.
01:21:02Not your parents.
01:21:03Not this place.
01:21:06Not me.
01:21:07You just seemed so certain.
01:21:18It didn't seem fair for me to tell you what I wanted.
01:21:29What's that?
01:21:33For you to stay.
01:21:33It's what I've always wanted.
01:21:46Did you buy a kissing ball?
01:21:51Mm-hmm.
01:21:53Interesting.
01:21:54That's an old Scandinavian tradition.
01:21:59Yeah.
01:22:01And we can't argue with tradition, can we?
01:23:39Four, three, two, one, here it comes.
