00:00:48One more.
00:00:50Good job!
00:00:53Okay, I'm not a primate. Put your hand down.
00:00:56Hi!
00:00:58We just hit a million total likes on our posts for the year!
00:01:01Hey, a million likes. Look at that.
00:01:03I knew the Burger Bus tweets were good. I didn't expect them to go viral.
00:01:06And sales are up 19% for the year.
00:01:08Well, we really crushed that one, didn't we?
00:01:10You know, we make a pretty good team.
00:01:12What a great year, you know?
00:01:14I've got a place with actual windows.
00:01:17Windows are good.
00:01:18A million total likes.
00:01:19Wow.
00:01:20And, of course...
00:01:26I met you.
00:01:27Oh.
00:01:28Right.
00:01:29You know, we should probably get going to the —
00:01:30Oh, wait, wait, wait. That's my mom.
00:01:31Hold on.
00:01:32I don't know where.
00:01:34Hey, sweets!
00:01:35Hey, Mom.
00:01:36Guess who hit a million total likes?
00:01:38Good for you!
00:01:39I knew that Burger Bus talking hamburger was a winner.
00:01:42What's going on over there?
00:01:44Oh, your dad is finishing up the Christmas lights, and I'm baking up a storm.
00:01:49I hope Dean likes gingerbread.
00:01:51Uh, speaking of...
00:01:54Oh, my God.
00:01:58Still camera shy?
00:01:59Uh, doesn't matter.
00:02:01You'll see him in person tomorrow anyways.
00:02:03It's been a long time since you brought someone home to meet us.
00:02:06Well, it's been a long time since I've had somebody worth bringing.
00:02:10I got him his own stocking. I just finished sewing it.
00:02:13Thanks, Mom.
00:02:15You know, I really think this could be the one.
00:02:20Both my girls with bows for the holidays.
00:02:23It's gonna be the perfect Christmas.
00:02:25Speaking of, how is Julia?
00:02:27Oh, you know her.
00:02:28She's buzzing around, putting up decorations, in between snuggling up with Richard.
00:02:33They're like newlyweds still, those two.
00:02:36Oh!
00:02:37My cookies.
00:02:38I gotta run.
00:02:39Mwah!
00:02:40I'll see you tomorrow, sweetheart.
00:02:41All right, bye.
00:02:46So I don't think we should stay too long tonight.
00:02:49Want to get home and pack?
00:02:50Yeah, about that.
00:02:51Everyone is so excited to meet you.
00:02:53Well, I think we should talk about that.
00:02:54And Mom is baking up a storm.
00:02:56I hope you like gingerbread.
00:02:58Who doesn't like gingerbread?
00:02:59And of course, I can't forget my perfect sister, Julia, who has been home all week helping her get ready.
00:03:10Sorry.
00:03:12I know I'm talking a lot.
00:03:13I'm just really excited to finally not be the only single person at Christmas this year.
00:03:20So, when do you want to hit the road?
00:03:24Katie, I'm not gonna be able to make it.
00:03:26By it, you mean?
00:03:29I mean, I can't come to Christmas at your parents' house.
00:03:31Why not?
00:03:32Because I'm transferring to San Francisco.
00:03:34Your what?
00:03:37When did this happen?
00:03:38I've been talking about it for a couple of weeks, but it just got finalized today.
00:03:41Starting January.
00:03:42Okay, well, if it's in January, we can still spend Christmas with my parents.
00:03:46We can even come back the day after.
00:03:47I can help you pack, find a place.
00:03:48Actually, I think we should break up.
00:03:49What?
00:03:50I don't want to do the long-distance thing.
00:03:57I tried it before, it just doesn't work.
00:04:00Well, maybe I could get transferred, too.
00:04:02There's only one position open.
00:04:06And you took it.
00:04:08Without even talking to me.
00:04:11I thought we were supposed to be partners.
00:04:12We were very successful partners.
00:04:15And that means now we have new opportunities.
00:04:21This will be great.
00:04:22For both of us.
00:04:24You'll see.
00:04:25You'll see.
00:04:34This was supposed to be my first Christmas not being the single sister.
00:04:38You know Julia and Richard are in their mid-twenties and their fourth wedding anniversary is coming up?
00:04:42I feel so single just hearing all this.
00:04:44I don't know what to do.
00:04:47He's supposed to meet my whole family tomorrow.
00:04:50I can't show up single and alone again for Christmas.
00:04:54They're your family.
00:04:56They're not going to care about that.
00:05:00Yeah, you haven't met Julia.
00:05:02She's been competitive with me since you could talk.
00:05:05I mean, always a few years ahead and school and dating and getting married.
00:05:11I thought you were the older sister.
00:05:13I am.
00:05:15Sorry.
00:05:17But you didn't hear how excited my mom was.
00:05:19She said it's a mother's dream that both of her kids have someone.
00:05:21This is going to crush her.
00:05:24Don't worry about your mother's feelings.
00:05:28Worry about your own.
00:05:30You have to take care of yourself.
00:05:32I am worried about my own feelings.
00:05:34I'm worried about how I'm going to feel when I show up without Adeen.
00:05:37Breathe.
00:05:38It's going to be alright.
00:05:39So what?
00:05:40You show up alone.
00:05:41It's Christmas.
00:05:42It's going to be fun.
00:05:43Forget about him.
00:05:44I can't.
00:05:45My mom sold him his own freaking stocking.
00:05:46There's going to be a Dean's stocking and no Dean.
00:05:47How could he do this to me?
00:05:48How could he do this to me?
00:05:50Have your parents or anyone your family ever met with you?
00:05:53Have your parents or anyone your family ever met with you?
00:05:55You're going to be alright.
00:05:56So what?
00:05:57You show up alone.
00:05:58It's Christmas.
00:05:59It's going to be fun.
00:06:00Forget about him.
00:06:01How could he do this to me?
00:06:17Have your parents or anyone your family ever seen a picture of Dean before?
00:06:22You know I think posting your boyfriend all over social media is cringe.
00:06:26What are you going to dress up as Dean and come home with me for Christmas?
00:06:32No.
00:06:33Not me.
00:06:49Worknow.com?
00:06:52What is that?
00:06:53It's this freelance website.
00:06:55Sometimes I use it for extra cash.
00:06:58People post odd jobs and you submit to them.
00:07:00So I literally just post seeking a man to pretend to be my boyfriend and come home with me for Christmas so I don't look like a complete and total loser?
00:07:09Yes.
00:07:10No.
00:07:13Wait, you're serious?
00:07:14I see posts like that all the time.
00:07:15I see posts like that all the time.
00:07:18Okay.
00:07:19Not all the time.
00:07:20But still.
00:07:25Urgently seeking fake boyfriend for a family holiday.
00:07:30After.
00:07:31After.
00:07:32Pathetically and unceremoniously being dumped right before Christmas.
00:07:40You.
00:07:41Katie.
00:07:4230s.
00:07:43Social media exec.
00:07:44Karaoke fiend.
00:07:46Is that important?
00:07:47It doesn't hurt.
00:07:49Okay.
00:07:50Him.
00:07:5130s.
00:07:52Handsome.
00:07:53And available tomorrow night to drive to the countryside and spend three days with me and my family.
00:08:06Perfect.
00:08:07Now we add a link to your socials and a picture so people know you're real and not a total weirdo.
00:08:12Submit ASAP.
00:08:14We'll conduct interviews first thing tomorrow.
00:08:17Anything else?
00:08:19Did I mention that I'm heartbroken and will be in tears the whole way home?
00:08:24I think that's implied.
00:08:27Then no.
00:08:28That's everything.
00:08:30Thanks for cheering me up.
00:08:33Got my head to bed.
00:08:35Good idea.
00:08:36Big day tomorrow.
00:08:37Good night.
00:08:38Good night.
00:09:00Hello.
00:09:07Katie?
00:09:09Who's this?
00:09:11I'm calling about the job.
00:09:13Dean?
00:09:14Um, where are you calling from?
00:09:17It doesn't even matter.
00:09:19I'm so glad that you called.
00:09:20So I've got the job?
00:09:22You mean your promotion?
00:09:24Promotion?
00:09:25I haven't even started yet.
00:09:27Who is this?
00:09:28What is this?
00:09:29I can be your dean.
00:09:30Oh no.
00:09:31Katie?
00:09:32Nope, nope, nope.
00:09:34Sarah?
00:09:35Why did I just get a call from someone claiming to be dean?
00:09:39What?
00:09:40That doesn't make any sense.
00:09:41I specifically said no calls in the post.
00:09:43You posted it?
00:09:46And the response has been amazing.
00:09:49Look.
00:09:54What are you thinking?
00:09:56This was as a joke.
00:09:58What?
00:09:59Katie?
00:10:00You helped me write it.
00:10:01Look what I said.
00:10:02I said I'm pathetic.
00:10:03Well, technically you call getting dumped right before Christmas pathetic.
00:10:07And it kind of is.
00:10:11Sarah?
00:10:12Okay.
00:10:13Okay, I'm sorry.
00:10:14Clearly we had a little miscommunication.
00:10:17Little.
00:10:18But look.
00:10:20I've already started sorting through top contenders.
00:10:26Sarah.
00:10:27Aren't you just a little bit curious?
00:10:29Look.
00:10:30You don't have to leave until this afternoon.
00:10:31And a bunch of these guys are excited to meet you.
00:10:32What can it hurt just to do some interviews?
00:10:33No.
00:10:34No.
00:10:35Absolutely not.
00:10:36No.
00:10:37No.
00:10:38No.
00:10:39No.
00:10:40No.
00:10:41Are you sure about doing this?
00:10:42I mean, we still have time to dip, so...
00:10:43Let's just...
00:10:44How about we just get started?
00:11:08How about we just get started?
00:11:11Katie?
00:11:13How's it going?
00:11:15You don't look anything like your photos.
00:11:17This is very nice to meet you.
00:11:18Oh, sorry.
00:11:20The holiday season of Prime for germs.
00:11:25Sick job posting.
00:11:29I feel like I know you already.
00:11:32Have a seat.
00:11:33Okay.
00:11:39So, what made you apply to the post?
00:11:43My girlfriend just dumped me too.
00:11:45A few years ago.
00:11:47Well, I'm like in between jobs right now.
00:11:52And houses.
00:11:54So, I kind of just like need a place to crash for the next few days.
00:11:59I really love Christmas a lot.
00:12:00And people, of course.
00:12:02And people at Christmas.
00:12:04And, you know, Christmas music.
00:12:06You get that, right?
00:12:08Do we have to leave tonight?
00:12:10I'm still looking for someone to watch my iguana.
00:12:14Can you tell me, is your parents' bedding hypoallergenic?
00:12:17Are your parents cool if, like, a couple people come through?
00:12:20Christmas candles and Christmas trees and Christmas movies, of course.
00:12:26I'm allergic to most mattresses.
00:12:29Also, dogs, cats.
00:12:32I do get carsick, so I will have to ride in the back.
00:12:35Penicillin, shellfish.
00:12:37Moms love me.
00:12:38Moms love me.
00:12:39You know, the whole, the whole thing.
00:12:41Jolly O. St. Nick, you know.
00:12:43Gluten, most gluten substitutes.
00:12:45Dads too.
00:12:47Do they?
00:12:51Pineapple.
00:12:53And dust.
00:12:55Thank you so much.
00:12:57We'll be in touch.
00:12:59I think we can consider that a complete and total humiliating bust.
00:13:04Hey, we tried.
00:13:06I don't know what I was thinking.
00:13:08There's no way I'm going to be able to find the perfect guy right before Christmas.
00:13:12So...
00:13:22Are you Katie?
00:13:24I'm Josh. I'm here for the interview. Sorry I'm late.
00:13:26Late?
00:13:28Uh, please have a seat.
00:13:30Oh, thanks.
00:13:33Hey.
00:13:35Hi.
00:13:37I'm Sarah. I'm helping Katie weed out the psychos.
00:13:40Oh, good. Gotcha.
00:13:42You're not a psycho, are you?
00:13:44Uh, not that I know of.
00:13:49So, what made you apply to my job post?
00:13:53Honestly?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:56I don't want this to come off as like a whole sob story, but I don't really have any family.
00:14:02Um, usually Christmas is just me and my mom, but she passed away this year.
00:14:07Um, sorry to hear that.
00:14:09Thanks.
00:14:11She really loved Christmas.
00:14:12And we had all these fun traditions the two of us would do together, so...
00:14:17I don't know.
00:14:19I guess I just didn't want to be alone this year.
00:14:22I was browsing worknow.com last night, and I saw your post, and I thought it sounded kind of fun, pretending to be someone else for a few days.
00:14:30I thought I'd at least check it out, make sure you're not a psycho.
00:14:36Oh.
00:14:38Okay.
00:14:40Um, yeah, so, what else do you need to know about me?
00:14:42Oh, right. Um, um, social media. My ex and I, Dean, work together at a social media company. Are you familiar with social media? Just in case my family asks.
00:14:58Okay, you can't tell anybody this. I'm a carpenter by trade, but I run an account for an anthropomorphic football during football season.
00:15:06Frederick football?
00:15:09You know it?
00:15:10Know it. I had a whole conversation with it as a talking hamburger.
00:15:14Wait, are you Busburger?
00:15:16Guilty as charged. My ex and I are.
00:15:19Where?
00:15:21Wow, that's a great account. You're very funny.
00:15:24So are you.
00:15:27How are you at charades?
00:15:29Charades? Uh, I guess I'm okay. Why? Is that important?
00:15:34Deadly important. My family and I play Christmas charades every year. And it can get a little bit cutthroat.
00:15:42Cutthroat charades. I guess I might need to brush up a bit then. Can I ask you a few questions?
00:15:49Sure.
00:15:51I'm just curious. Why do you need someone to pose as your ex to your family?
00:15:55My ex broke up with me yesterday, and I already told my entire family that I was bringing him home for Christmas.
00:16:01Right. I saw that in your post, but wouldn't the normal thing be to just tell your family that you broke up?
00:16:08It would. But I just can't face telling them that. I've been the single sister my entire life. My younger sister, she's been married for years now, and I've never even brought a boyfriend home for Christmas.
00:16:21Ah. I see. That's quite the pressure.
00:16:26So I just need to get through the holidays. One Christmas, not being the sad single sibling.
00:16:33And after that?
00:16:35Dean and I will have a seasonally appropriate breakup mid-January.
00:16:39You think I'm crazy, don't you?
00:16:45But hey, so am I. I'm the weirdo who responded to your post and has no plans on Christmas.
00:16:50Well, I guess we're both the little psycho after all.
00:16:55So, how fast can you pack?
00:16:58You're picking me to be your dean? Wow. I've never been picked to be anybody's dean before.
00:17:03I can be ready in an hour. I'll pick you up at two.
00:17:07Perfect. I'll text you my address and I can brief you in the car on the way there.
00:17:11We have a couple hours ahead of us, not including holiday traffic, so...
00:17:16Looking forward to it.
00:17:19Bye.
00:17:24Oh, goodness.
00:17:27Oh, shoot. I only have an hour to pack.
00:17:30Oh, you're gonna come out?
00:17:31Oh, shoot.
00:17:37He's kind of perfect.
00:17:38Maybe even better than the real dean?
00:17:40I think it's too soon to say that, but so far, he hasn't taken a promotion across the country and dumped me right before Christmas, so...
00:17:49You've gotta give it to me. My whole work now plan was pretty genius.
00:17:52Girl, you got lucky. If Josh didn't show up...
00:17:54But he did.
00:17:55I kind of feel bad for him, though. First Christmas without his mom.
00:18:01Well, if you have to spend Christmas without your mom, there's no Christmas like an Andrew's family Christmas.
00:18:08Well, you know you're always welcome to come home with me.
00:18:10I had a great time last year, but I think you've got your hands full right now.
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:17You sure you're gonna be okay here all by yourself?
00:18:20Um, a week off with a place to myself and a DVR full of reality shows, I'll manage.
00:18:26What a hard life.
00:18:31Alright.
00:18:35Hey there.
00:18:36Hey.
00:18:37Let me get that for you.
00:18:40Whew.
00:18:44Ready to go?
00:18:45Let's do this.
00:18:46Let's.
00:18:47So, your sister is Julia.
00:18:54She's married to her high school sweetheart, Richard.
00:18:57Your parents are Mr. and Mrs. Andrews to start.
00:18:59Your mom will probably say,
00:19:01that's silly, call me Mary.
00:19:03But your dad may just stick with Mr. Andrews.
00:19:06Yes, but just in case, his name is Anthony.
00:19:09Sorry for the rehearsal.
00:19:10I just want to make sure that you're prepped.
00:19:12It would be kind of weird if my boyfriend of six months didn't know anything about my family.
00:19:17So, what about us?
00:19:19We met at the office.
00:19:20Our first date was a Red Sox game.
00:19:21You ate too many hot dogs and got sick.
00:19:24I don't think we have to share that part.
00:19:27But other than that, you're a pretty convincing dean.
00:19:30You've got nothing to worry about.
00:19:31You haven't met my family yet.
00:19:33My sister is going to give you the third degree.
00:19:36Your sister, Julie?
00:19:37No, Julia.
00:19:39You knew that.
00:19:41Sorry, couldn't resist.
00:19:43Ooh, this is a good one.
00:19:46I can't wait for Christmas this year.
00:19:52Waiting underneath the mistletoe if someone kisses me.
00:19:56It's that one right there.
00:19:57Okay.
00:20:06Hello, hello!
00:20:08Hello, Mrs. Andrews.
00:20:09Hi, baby.
00:20:10Hey, man.
00:20:11Oh, just call me Mary.
00:20:13So nice to meet you.
00:20:15Mom?
00:20:16Mr. Andrews?
00:20:18Pleasure.
00:20:19Nice to finally meet you, Dean.
00:20:21Oh, Katie told us everything about you.
00:20:23Well, not everything about me, I'm sure.
00:20:27Come on in. Dinner will be ready in 15 minutes.
00:20:29Yeah.
00:20:30You guys make great time.
00:20:32You okay with that?
00:20:33I'm all set.
00:20:35All right, cool.
00:20:36All right.
00:20:38Come on, young man.
00:20:39Come on.
00:20:40Okay.
00:20:42All right.
00:20:43Thank you, sir.
00:20:44Absolutely, absolutely.
00:20:46Let me get that coat.
00:20:47That's fine.
00:20:49Keep that scarf there.
00:20:50There we go.
00:20:51There we go, yes.
00:20:53Oh, of course.
00:20:54Wow.
00:20:55Your house looks straight out of a Christmas movie.
00:20:56Oh, thank you.
00:20:58Mom goes all out.
00:20:59It's her favorite time of the year.
00:21:00It's all of our favorite time of the year.
00:21:02Except for the lecture bills.
00:21:04Oh, stop it, you old Scrooge.
00:21:06Mom.
00:21:08Katie, why don't you take Dean to his room?
00:21:10You get settled and then come see Julia and Richard.
00:21:12Sounds good.
00:21:13All right.
00:21:14He's cuter than you said.
00:21:21So, you get to crash in my old room.
00:21:24You don't want to sleep here?
00:21:25No, I'll take the guest room upstairs.
00:21:27It's right next door to my parents,
00:21:29and my dad's store is like a freight train, so...
00:21:33Man, you were really into boy bands, huh?
00:21:35Hey, they were cool back then.
00:21:37Was the color pink pretty cool back then, too?
00:21:40Are you done?
00:21:42Actually, I think I'm just getting started.
00:21:44Who's this?
00:21:50That's me with Julia.
00:21:52Oh.
00:21:54Ooh.
00:21:55And what's this?
00:21:56Oh, careful, Dex.
00:21:57I'm so sorry.
00:21:59It's okay.
00:22:00It's completely broken.
00:22:02It has been since I was a kid.
00:22:04It was a gift from my grandmother,
00:22:05and I just can't bear to get rid of it.
00:22:07Yep.
00:22:15I can see it.
00:22:16This is 100% you.
00:22:19Yeah, I don't know why my parents haven't updated it yet.
00:22:23By the way, I hope they're not being too much.
00:22:26What?
00:22:27No, of course not.
00:22:28They're great.
00:22:29Really?
00:22:30Yeah.
00:22:31And the decorations are out of this world.
00:22:33Honestly, I'm so excited to be here.
00:22:40I just realized I didn't have time to buy anyone gifts.
00:22:44Don't worry about it.
00:22:45I got it covered.
00:22:48A photography coffee table book for Julia and Richard.
00:22:53A Christmas cookie cookbook for Mom.
00:22:56Wow.
00:22:57And...
00:22:59A bottle of whiskey for Dad.
00:23:01Expensive enough that you don't look cheap,
00:23:03but cheap enough that you don't look like a show-off.
00:23:05Wow.
00:23:06You really thought of everything.
00:23:08But...
00:23:09What about your gift?
00:23:12Well, just say that you gave it to me before we came.
00:23:16Katie!
00:23:17Dean!
00:23:18You two ready for dinner?
00:23:20Ready for this, Dean?
00:23:23Dean was born ready.
00:23:24Okay.
00:23:29Let's see what this Dean's all about.
00:23:31Merry Christmas!
00:23:32Merry Christmas!
00:23:33Merry Christmas!
00:23:35Hi.
00:23:36Merry Christmas, Richard.
00:23:37Hi!
00:23:39This is Je...
00:23:41Dean.
00:23:42Yes, Dean.
00:23:43Dean, meet Julia and Richard.
00:23:44So nice to meet you both.
00:23:46It's nice to meet you too.
00:23:47Katie's been talking nonstop about our big city boyfriend.
00:23:49Oh.
00:23:50You know, I was starting to wonder if you were even real.
00:23:51Well, at least for the next few days I am.
00:23:55So, you and Katie work together, Dean?
00:23:57Yeah, we sure do.
00:23:58How is that?
00:24:00Katie's amazing.
00:24:01Not that I'm telling you anything you don't already know.
00:24:04Aww.
00:24:05So you two met at work?
00:24:06Yes, we did.
00:24:07And our first date was a Red Sox game.
00:24:09Though I'm not supposed to tell you about the hot dogs.
00:24:11Oh, no.
00:24:14Santa's ready!
00:24:15You're all hungry.
00:24:16So I walk into the conference room, and there she is.
00:24:21The most beautiful girl I'd ever seen.
00:24:25I walk up to her, and I ask,
00:24:27Is this where the 10.30 meeting is?
00:24:29And she says,
00:24:31Do you remember this?
00:24:32It's a little hazy, actually.
00:24:35She says,
00:24:36Yes, the 10.30 meeting was in here.
00:24:39At 10.30.
00:24:40I had forgotten to change my watch, so I missed it.
00:24:46But Katie was so great.
00:24:47She took me back to her office and helped me get up to speed.
00:24:50Wait, office?
00:24:51Katie didn't tell us you have an office now.
00:24:53I did.
00:24:55It was when they were fumigating the workspace.
00:24:59We had those pests.
00:25:01Pests?
00:25:02Pests.
00:25:03Pests.
00:25:04Pests.
00:25:05Yeah.
00:25:06I think you guys are just perfect for each other.
00:25:08Dean?
00:25:09Did you know right away?
00:25:11Oh, definitely.
00:25:12It's amazing how time flies when you're in love.
00:25:16I know it's been six months, but doesn't it sometimes feel like just hours, Katie?
00:25:21We can just go ahead and start clearing the plate.
00:25:24Do you want to give me a hand?
00:25:25Yeah.
00:25:30You might want to watch the embellishment there.
00:25:32Sorry.
00:25:33I was just getting into it.
00:25:36Why?
00:25:37How did you and the real Dean meet?
00:25:39He couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi, so I gave him the password.
00:25:42Okay.
00:25:43My version is way more romantic.
00:25:46Okay, I'll grant you that.
00:25:47But you still need to be careful.
00:25:49Careful about what?
00:25:51Using too much salt.
00:25:52Black eyes.
00:25:55Using too much salt on black eyes.
00:25:57You know, it only takes a little bit to melt it.
00:26:01Well, you can never be too cautious.
00:26:04Why don't you two put on your pajamas?
00:26:05We'll play charades in a minute.
00:26:06Okay.
00:26:07Dean, do you know how to play charades?
00:26:10Absolutely.
00:26:11I love charades.
00:26:13Okay, good.
00:26:16That may have been a bit of a fib.
00:26:18I don't think I've played since I was, what, 10 years old?
00:26:23Movie, TV, show, book, song?
00:26:28Okay, I've already memorized your whole family and your dating history, and I have to learn this too?
00:26:34It's been a while, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
00:26:36Mm-hmm.
00:26:37It's just charades, right?
00:26:40Humpty Dumpty!
00:26:42Shark!
00:26:43Bear!
00:26:44A bear of monkeys!
00:26:46E.T.
00:26:47A shark!
00:26:48Eiffel towel!
00:26:50Oh, crap!
00:26:52What was it?
00:26:53Elf.
00:26:54You call that an elf?
00:26:55Hey, it's not Dean's fault.
00:26:56You guys can't guess to save your life.
00:26:59Man, you weren't kidding.
00:27:01This is really intense.
00:27:02We like to think of charades as a contact sport.
00:27:05Katie, you're up.
00:27:07Alright.
00:27:08Here we go.
00:27:09Okay.
00:27:11Ready?
00:27:13Go!
00:27:15Movie.
00:27:16Three words.
00:27:17A Christmas story.
00:27:18Yes!
00:27:22Song.
00:27:23Three words.
00:27:24A Christmas tree.
00:27:26Let's go. Keep it going.
00:27:29Animal.
00:27:30Reindeer.
00:27:33Okay.
00:27:36Movie.
00:27:37Four words.
00:27:38It's a wonderful life.
00:27:40Yay!
00:27:42That's a good...
00:27:43Conspiracy.
00:27:45And that's how it's done.
00:27:47Don't worry.
00:27:48I have a lot more practice than you do.
00:27:50Great game of charades out there, sis.
00:28:01Don't get in the way of the Andrews women.
00:28:05So, Dean seems great.
00:28:07Not at charades, but generally.
00:28:11He is.
00:28:13It's nice to finally see you with someone.
00:28:15Well, not everyone can find the love of their life in high school.
00:28:20Did I tell you that Richard got another promotion?
00:28:23He's the youngest manager at his company now.
00:28:25Well, Dean got promoted too.
00:28:27He's moving to Sand...
00:28:29Sandwiches.
00:28:31No more burgers.
00:28:33That's a promotion?
00:28:34Yeah, you know.
00:28:36More prestigious.
00:28:38Let me get these cookies in there.
00:28:42Now the dad, like, he's looking at me side-eyed.
00:28:45You know, so I'm getting a little bit nervous.
00:28:47But I figure if I get in with a mom here, you know.
00:28:49Mom's sweet.
00:28:50Because I got some roses for it.
00:28:51You know how women like roses in their face.
00:28:53Cookie delivery!
00:28:54Why, hey!
00:28:55You interrupted my story there.
00:28:57I'll get into the good part.
00:29:00So, Dean.
00:29:02Katie tells me congratulations are in order.
00:29:04They are?
00:29:06Your promotion.
00:29:08Yep, uh, Dean will be covering sandwiches now.
00:29:11Oh.
00:29:12No more burgers.
00:29:13That's right.
00:29:14That's a promotion?
00:29:16It is.
00:29:17A really big one.
00:29:19Yeah, I just wish I didn't have to move.
00:29:21Move?
00:29:23Yeah, he has to move up a floor.
00:29:25I thought you already worked on the top floor.
00:29:27Yes, just moving up the floor.
00:29:29Down the hall.
00:29:30Closer to Katie.
00:29:31Oh, isn't that nice?
00:29:34See, I would think burgers and sandwiches are kind of the same thing.
00:29:38You know, a lot of people think that.
00:29:39But there are actually some key differences from a social media standpoint.
00:29:43Really?
00:29:44Like what?
00:29:46Oh, you know.
00:29:47Shape.
00:29:48Toppings.
00:29:49I'm sure Dean doesn't want to talk about work all night.
00:29:52Let's talk about something else.
00:29:54Well, tell us about your family, Dean.
00:29:56Not that.
00:29:58Uh, Dean is just, he's so sad.
00:30:01This is his first Christmas without his mother, Harriet.
00:30:05Dad, Eugene.
00:30:07Sisters, Andrea and Carrie, and older brother, Oliver.
00:30:11Yes, it's my first Christmas away from them.
00:30:16But I'm very happy to be here.
00:30:17And we're really happy you're here, Dean.
00:30:20So, what about another round of charades?
00:30:23Yeah!
00:30:24Woo!
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:27Let's do it.
00:30:29Thankfully, you're a little bit better at coming up with stories on the fly than you are playing charades.
00:30:34That was something else.
00:30:35Joy is really competitive.
00:30:36She reminds me of you a little.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38Yeah.
00:30:39You both have a certain intensity.
00:30:40Never noticed that.
00:30:41Oh, this is my roommate.
00:30:42Do you mind if I take it?
00:30:43Of course not.
00:30:44Great.
00:30:45Girl.
00:30:46Hey!
00:30:47How's it going?
00:30:48They love him so much, it's insane.
00:30:49Honestly, I think they might even like him more than they would have liked the real Dean.
00:30:54Hey, Dean.
00:30:55Hey, there.
00:30:56How's it going?
00:30:57Hey, Dean.
00:30:58Hey, there.
00:30:59How's it going?
00:31:00How's it going?
00:31:01Oh, this is my roommate.
00:31:02Do you mind if I take it?
00:31:03Of course not.
00:31:04All right.
00:31:05Girl.
00:31:06Hey!
00:31:07How's it going?
00:31:08They love him so much, it's insane.
00:31:09Honestly, I think they might even like him more than they would have liked the real Dean.
00:31:21Hey, Dean.
00:31:22Hey, there.
00:31:23I was just taking in all these decorations.
00:31:27I just came to say goodnight and tell you how glad I am that you're here.
00:31:32You make Katie really happy.
00:31:35That makes me really happy.
00:31:39I'm very happy, too.
00:31:42I love being here.
00:31:44We're glad you're here.
00:31:46Shut up.
00:31:47That's amazing.
00:31:48Is it awkward at all being there with him?
00:31:50Surprisingly, no.
00:31:53He's a really nice guy.
00:31:54I'm actually having a lot of fun.
00:31:56Fun?
00:31:57How much fun?
00:31:59I don't know.
00:32:00An appropriate amount of fun.
00:32:02Stop.
00:32:03What if you two start dating?
00:32:05I don't think I can afford the long-term version of this.
00:32:10Anyways, I'm not ready for another relationship.
00:32:13You never know.
00:32:16Hey, I'll keep you posted.
00:32:18I gotta go.
00:32:19You better.
00:32:20Bye.
00:32:26What's so funny?
00:32:28We were just talking about Dad's A Christmas Carol charade.
00:32:31I still don't know how Dean guessed it.
00:32:34I think it was his Tiny Tim impression where I finally clicked.
00:32:38Anyway, I just came to say goodnight.
00:32:41You two have everything you need?
00:32:43I think so.
00:32:44If you get cold, there's extra blankets in the hall closet.
00:32:47Mom, I think we're fine.
00:32:48Thanks.
00:32:49Goodnight, you two.
00:32:50Goodnight.
00:32:54Everything okay with your roommate?
00:32:55Yeah, she just wanted to check and see how things are going.
00:32:59What'd you tell her?
00:33:01I said it's going perfectly.
00:33:05I still can't believe all these decorations.
00:33:08It's epic in here.
00:33:09Well, get ready.
00:33:11Ready for what?
00:33:12For Christmas Eve.
00:33:13That is when the Andrews family Christmas really begins.
00:33:16Ooh, I can't wait.
00:33:19Really?
00:33:20I mean it.
00:33:22I'm having a great time here.
00:33:24Seriously?
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:29It's the best Christmas I've had since my mom passed.
00:33:34Sorry, Josh.
00:33:35Oh, it's okay.
00:33:37Honestly, this is a pretty amazing distraction.
00:33:40And she would have loved all of this.
00:33:43Though we did have one ironclad rule.
00:33:45Only homemade gifts.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:48Mhm.
00:33:50We'd never had a lot of money growing up.
00:33:51And she would always say that giving someone a handmade gift was a chance to give them a little piece of yourself.
00:33:59That's really lovely.
00:34:01So is she.
00:34:03I really like your family.
00:34:06You're really lucky.
00:34:08I am.
00:34:09I am.
00:34:37I am.
00:34:38I am.
00:34:43I am.
00:34:45I am.
00:34:46I am.
00:34:47I am.
00:34:48I said, why me?
00:34:58You do it.
00:35:01Good morning.
00:35:03Good morning, sweetie head.
00:35:05Good morning.
00:35:06We thought we'd let you sleep in a bit.
00:35:09Want some breakfast, sweetie?
00:35:11I'm good with this coffee.
00:35:13Most important meal of the day.
00:35:14Your parents were just telling me all about you in kindergarten.
00:35:17Not the pay story, I know.
00:35:21Sorry, Kate, it's a classic.
00:35:24More eggs, babe?
00:35:25Oh, I don't know, I'm so full.
00:35:28You're going to need the protein for football.
00:35:30Football?
00:35:31Yeah, we do our annual Christmas game after breakfast.
00:35:34Oh.
00:35:34Yeah, so you don't want to eat too much.
00:35:36You're playing too?
00:35:37Every year.
00:35:39Mom and I just sit on the deck and drink hot chocolate.
00:35:41Spike hot chocolate.
00:35:45Blue, 42!
00:35:46I'm a mean joe green you.
00:35:48I'm a mean joe green you.
00:35:49Oh, no, no, you can't.
00:35:51Oh!
00:35:53Oh!
00:35:54It was a very favorite treatment, Dad.
00:35:59But it's very entertaining.
00:36:02Oh, look at him.
00:36:04All right, here we go.
00:36:05All right, all right, here we go.
00:36:06All right, here we go, here we go.
00:36:08All right, hickory dickory dock.
00:36:11The mouse ran up the clock and hikes.
00:36:18Oh, no, you can't.
00:36:21Ow, ow, ow.
00:36:23Ow, ow, ow, ow.
00:36:25All right, all right, final score, Dean and Katie, 35.
00:36:43Zad and Richard?
00:36:46Six.
00:36:47Yeah, well done, well done.
00:36:50Good game.
00:36:51Good game.
00:36:52Good game, sir.
00:36:54Oh!
00:36:55Sorry.
00:36:56All right, come on, let's have hot chocolate.
00:36:59All right, let's get inside.
00:37:04Richard, that was a pretty impressive play you came up with out there.
00:37:07I have a little experience at finding workarounds for being terrible at sports.
00:37:12And Dad, your acting skills really improved since last night's charades.
00:37:16Yeah, I was really good, wasn't I?
00:37:20Broadway's calling!
00:37:23Oh, honey, you can't even remember what you had for breakfast.
00:37:26How are you going to remember all those lines?
00:37:30I was just admiring your family photos.
00:37:31This is Julia's first Christmas.
00:37:33I was just admiring your family photos.
00:37:35This is Julia's first Christmas.
00:37:36Ah, Katie was so excited to be a big sister.
00:37:39She started making presents for Julia before she was even born.
00:37:43I think that's supposed to be a boat.
00:37:44That's not a boat.
00:37:45All right.
00:37:46I was so excited to be a big sister.
00:37:50Don't worry, I do it too.
00:37:53I was just admiring your family photos.
00:37:57This is Julia's first Christmas.
00:38:00Ah, Katie was so excited to be a big sister.
00:38:04She started making presents for Julia before she was even born.
00:38:10I think that's supposed to be a boat.
00:38:14Made out of an egg carton?
00:38:17Katie's not much of an engineer.
00:38:21And what's this?
00:38:24That is Katie's first ballet recital.
00:38:29She sprained her ankle the night before, but insisted on going on.
00:38:35She's tough, Katie.
00:38:38One of a kind.
00:38:41Yeah, I think I'm beginning to see that.
00:38:46I hoped you might.
00:38:49You're good for her, I think.
00:38:52You do?
00:38:55Usually at Christmas, she's so...
00:38:59stressed.
00:39:01Worrying about making sure everything's perfect.
00:39:05I haven't seen her this happy and relaxed...
00:39:09since.
00:39:14Well...
00:39:21We're happy you're here, Dee.
00:39:26I'm happy to be here.
00:39:28Actually, I was wondering if I might ask you a favor.
00:39:37Dean and your dad seem to be getting along.
00:39:43Another day or two, we'll be asking him to call him Anthony.
00:39:46What?
00:39:47I don't even call him Anthony.
00:39:48Speaking of Dean and Dad, where are they?
00:39:54In the garage.
00:39:55Your dad's looking at a project.
00:40:02Maybe I should go see if they need a hand?
00:40:04I'm sure they're fine, Katie.
00:40:05What, are you scared Dean's gonna spill all your secrets?
00:40:12It's a good sign they're spending time together.
00:40:14I still remember that first Christmas with your dad's family.
00:40:17Oh, I'm so nervous.
00:40:19Why?
00:40:20Dad's family loves you.
00:40:21They may now, but that first Christmas was rough.
00:40:25I was so anxious to make a good impression, I couldn't even be myself.
00:40:29I forgot all my Christmas gifts.
00:40:32I sang off key on the Christmas carols.
00:40:35And I broke one of Grandma Trudy's antique Christmas ornaments.
00:40:40Oh, no.
00:40:42What'd she do?
00:40:44She sat down with me with a bottle of super glue
00:40:47and the pieces of the ornament and told me something I have never forgotten.
00:40:51Mary, she said.
00:40:53In this house, we don't throw things out just because they're broken.
00:40:57Every crack is just a piece of the story of something we love.
00:41:03Hmm.
00:41:04That's beautiful.
00:41:05I was finally able to relax.
00:41:08I realized things don't have to be perfect to be beautiful.
00:41:12And if I was a little imperfect, it didn't mean I didn't belong.
00:41:16Still burnt the dinner rolls, though.
00:41:19What are you doing in there?
00:41:36Just helping your dad with something.
00:41:39Come on.
00:41:40It's freezing out here.
00:41:42Thank you for dinner, Mary.
00:41:50I can't remember the last time I had food this good.
00:41:53Nonsense.
00:41:54I'm sure Katie cooks for you all the time.
00:41:56Well, I wouldn't say all the time.
00:41:58So, what now?
00:42:00Oh, how about dessert circle?
00:42:02Oh, yeah.
00:42:03What's dessert circle?
00:42:04Oh, it's this little tradition we picked up from Richard's family.
00:42:07Everybody goes around and says what they're most grateful for today.
00:42:10Oh, that sounds lovely.
00:42:12Richard, you start.
00:42:13Well, the best part of my everyday is waking up next to Julia.
00:42:18Aww.
00:42:20And the best part of my night is going to bed next to Richard.
00:42:23How about you, Mom?
00:42:26How about you, Mom?
00:42:27I am just so grateful to have both my girls home for Christmas.
00:42:32And that you're both with someone you care about so much.
00:42:38I second that.
00:42:41What about you, Dean?
00:42:43Well, I'm very grateful that you've all opened your home to me.
00:42:47I know that I don't know you all very well yet, but I'm grateful that you've just made me feel like a part of your family.
00:42:57My first Christmas on my own.
00:43:00And I'm especially grateful that I met Katie.
00:43:04She's the best.
00:43:06Oh, I, um...
00:43:14Cheers!
00:43:15Cheers!
00:43:16Cheers.
00:43:17Cheers.
00:43:29Sounds like peanut brittle to me.
00:43:33May I?
00:43:36Yep.
00:43:38Definitely peanut brittle.
00:43:40I'm just...
00:43:42Trying to guess what's under the tree?
00:43:44Like a five-year-old?
00:43:45Guilty.
00:43:47I'm just trying to figure out what Julia got me.
00:43:51I want to make sure that it's not better than my gift for her.
00:43:53Which is?
00:43:55An engraved calligraphy set for her new side hustle.
00:43:58Wow.
00:43:59That's very thoughtful.
00:44:00Yeah, but she always manages to do better.
00:44:03Like last year.
00:44:04I got her this designer purse that I knew she really wanted.
00:44:07Guess what she got me?
00:44:08A designer purse with a matching wallet.
00:44:11Impressive.
00:44:12Sounds like she really goes the extra mile.
00:44:14When it comes to being the golden child, she always does.
00:44:19Thank you for letting me be a part of this Christmas with your family.
00:44:22I probably should be the one thanking you.
00:44:26It's just...
00:44:27It's nice to have somewhere to belong.
00:44:29You know?
00:44:32Good night, Kitty.
00:44:33Good night.
00:44:34Good night.
00:44:35Good night.
00:44:36Thank you very much.
00:44:37Bye-bye.
00:44:38All показations are filled witharbee.
00:44:39Cl баланс
00:44:49enniming with rose grill,
00:44:52is everybody ready to go dokument and interpret.
00:45:24Katie?
00:45:44There you are.
00:45:47Ready for breakfast?
00:45:49Just about.
00:45:49Oh, uh, did you see a ring fall out?
00:45:55It was my mom's.
00:45:56I was taking it to get it cleaned.
00:46:00Sorry.
00:46:01Oh.
00:46:03I saw it, and it was just so beautiful.
00:46:06I just wanted to try it on.
00:46:07That's it.
00:46:08As long as it's safe.
00:46:10But it won't come off now, so...
00:46:12Oh.
00:46:13Here, let me see that.
00:46:14It's on there, all right?
00:46:18Katie, will you...
00:46:20I knew it!
00:46:24Oh, um...
00:46:26Mom, wait.
00:46:28Uh...
00:46:29Welcome to the family, son!
00:46:33Your sister's engaged!
00:46:38What?
00:46:39No.
00:46:41Uh...
00:46:42Well...
00:46:43Congratulations!
00:46:46Yay!
00:46:49Oh, it's beautiful!
00:46:53Vintage?
00:46:54It's a family heirloom.
00:46:56Oh, do you have a date?
00:46:57Not yet, no.
00:47:00We'll have to reserve a venue right away.
00:47:03Oh, and I have to call Martha.
00:47:04She'll be over the moon!
00:47:05Oh, I have to call Martha.
00:47:06Oh, I have to call Martha.
00:47:06Oh, I have to call Martha.
00:47:07Oh, I have to call Martha.
00:47:07Oh, I have to call Martha.
00:47:08She'll be over the moon!
00:47:09Oh, God, this is unexpected, huh?
00:47:11I think I still have the magazines.
00:47:12Oh, here goes Mom.
00:47:13Ready?
00:47:14So, do I get hazard pay for faking an engagement?
00:47:27I have to figure out a way to stop this.
00:47:29What are you two lovebirds whispering about?
00:47:32Nothing.
00:47:33Aha!
00:47:34I found them!
00:47:36I still have these from your sister's wedding.
00:47:38I mean, the fashion changes a bit, but it'll get us started.
00:47:43Oh.
00:47:44Oh, Katie, wouldn't you look lovely in a mermaid gown?
00:47:47Actually, we're thinking about eloping.
00:47:50But then we decided that we definitely wanted the full wedding experience with all our family there.
00:47:56Katie, we had no idea.
00:47:58Neither did I.
00:47:59When did you decide you were going to propose, Dean?
00:48:02Oh, it was pretty last minute.
00:48:04My mom always said to me, she said, Josh.
00:48:06Josh.
00:48:07That was her nickname for me, Josh.
00:48:10Anyway, Josh, she said, when you know you've found the one, don't wait.
00:48:14Because you never know what tomorrow brings.
00:48:16And when I saw Katie this morning, the sunlight shining on her in her pajamas, I just knew
00:48:23that I couldn't wait one more second.
00:48:25And here we are.
00:48:26This is the best Christmas ever.
00:48:29Oh.
00:48:30I'm so happy for the two of you.
00:48:31Some things are just meant to be.
00:48:32I'm surprised you don't already have these on the tree.
00:48:45Well, we always decorate the tree together.
00:48:48You couldn't come until right before Christmas this year, but I wanted to save at least a few
00:48:52ornaments for you.
00:48:53Thanks.
00:48:54I can't believe you're engaged.
00:48:58It feels so sudden.
00:49:00Yep, it does.
00:49:03Does he make you happy?
00:49:06I think so.
00:49:08Good.
00:49:10I hope you find what Richard and I have.
00:49:13He's a good guy.
00:49:15I'm glad you found him.
00:49:17Well, now we both have something to celebrate this Christmas.
00:49:21Where were you?
00:49:23It's a secret.
00:49:25Keeping secrets.
00:49:26Just a few.
00:49:31So, what's the plan for the afternoon?
00:49:34Well, I will be cooking all day since we have Christmas and an engagement to celebrate.
00:49:40Do you need any help?
00:49:42Julie can help me out.
00:49:43I don't mind.
00:49:44Oh, no.
00:49:45We got it.
00:49:46You and Dean go celebrate your engagement.
00:49:48We've got this.
00:49:49Richard and I are going Christmas shopping.
00:49:51But it's Christmas Eve.
00:49:52Hey, no minute like the last minute.
00:49:54Besides, I didn't want to get Dean a gift before I met him.
00:49:58Katie, why don't you take Dean for a drive?
00:50:02Show him around town.
00:50:04Mom, I'm sure he doesn't want to do that.
00:50:06Actually, I'd love to.
00:50:08You guys sure you don't need any help?
00:50:10We're fine.
00:50:11Go.
00:50:12Come on.
00:50:13Have fun.
00:50:14Want to help me with these?
00:50:27Well, you sure enjoyed that.
00:50:29You know what?
00:50:30I really did.
00:50:31Sorry again that it stuck.
00:50:37Guess that means you're stuck with me.
00:50:44So, my old high school is down there and this coffee shop is where I had my first job.
00:51:03Wow.
00:51:04A whole bunch of new pieces of the puzzle that is Katie Andrews, my fiancee.
00:51:10This town is pretty great.
00:51:14I guess.
00:51:15What do you mean you guess?
00:51:18I don't know.
00:51:21Coming back here, I moved away ten years ago for school.
00:51:26And I guess I just thought I would have made it by now.
00:51:29Made it?
00:51:30You know.
00:51:31A big job.
00:51:33My own place.
00:51:34A real boyfriend that I didn't hire off the internet.
00:51:38Hmm.
00:51:41What?
00:51:42I don't know.
00:51:43Maybe you have more than you realize.
00:51:45What do you mean?
00:51:47Well, your job for starters.
00:51:49I thought you said you loved it.
00:51:51I do, but I just...
00:51:53There's your problem right there.
00:51:56Where?
00:51:58But.
00:51:59You love your job, but.
00:52:01You have a great roommate, but.
00:52:03You have a family that loves you, but.
00:52:06Why is it so hard for you to just say you have a lot of great things in your life?
00:52:10Not to mention a handsome fiancee.
00:52:12Look.
00:52:13All I'm saying is I'm alone for the first time this Christmas.
00:52:19Do you have any idea how much I wish I had a family to go home to?
00:52:23Even if they're not perfect?
00:52:25Wow.
00:52:26I knew I was paying for a boyfriend.
00:52:29Fiancee.
00:52:30Fiancee.
00:52:31I didn't know I was getting a personal coaching session thrown in, too.
00:52:35Sorry.
00:52:36So.
00:52:37What about you?
00:52:38What about me?
00:52:39I mean, this whole time we talked about me and my family.
00:52:42I barely know anything about yours.
00:52:44What did you and your mom like to do for Christmas?
00:52:47Off.
00:52:48My mom loved everything about Christmas.
00:52:50Caroling, baking, just sitting in front of the tree, looking at the lights.
00:52:54Why don't we do something?
00:53:08Something that she would have liked in her honor.
00:53:13How do you feel about eggnog?
00:53:19I think I might know a spot.
00:53:21Ooh.
00:53:28I can't believe you got me to come to Dudley's.
00:53:30I have not been here since college.
00:53:33I'm honestly surprised they're opened on Christmas Eve.
00:53:36What, with business booming like this?
00:53:44Actually, my mom would have really liked this place.
00:53:46Really?
00:53:47Yeah.
00:53:48She loved to find little hole-in-the-wall places where only the locals go.
00:53:52She said it was the only way to truly get to know a town.
00:53:55Well, I'm glad we're here then.
00:53:57So, why don't you tell me more about your childhood?
00:54:01Were you a rebellious teenager?
00:54:03Nothing too much.
00:54:05You know, usual teenage antics.
00:54:07But there was this one time Julia and I got in trouble for throwing a party.
00:54:11You did?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:14My parents were out of town overnight.
00:54:16And Julia knew how bad I wanted to have friends over, so she promised not to tell.
00:54:20Unfortunately, the neighbors didn't feel the same.
00:54:23Oh, no.
00:54:24Oh, yeah.
00:54:25Yeah.
00:54:26Yeah.
00:54:27My parents were so mad.
00:54:28They grounded us for a whole month.
00:54:30Julia too?
00:54:31Yeah.
00:54:32She could have thrown me under the bus, but she didn't.
00:54:35So, she got a month too.
00:54:38What?
00:54:40It's just, the way you talk about your sister, I wouldn't have expected that.
00:54:46What do you mean?
00:54:48Well, you make it seem like things are always competitive between the two of you, but maybe
00:54:54that's not always the case.
00:54:57Okay.
00:54:59Enough about me.
00:55:01What about you?
00:55:02What kind of teenager were you?
00:55:04Well, my mom got sick while I was in high school, so I actually spent a lot of time taking
00:55:08care of her.
00:55:09Not a lot of time left for partying.
00:55:13But we always had a lot of fun at Christmas.
00:55:16Best time of year.
00:55:17Mm-hmm.
00:55:20I'll be right back.
00:55:21Sure.
00:55:25Hey, what's up?
00:55:26Hi.
00:55:27What's up with me?
00:55:28Nothing.
00:55:29What's going on with you?
00:55:30I need the tea on Dean.
00:55:31I'm obsessed.
00:55:32Is it still going well?
00:55:34I would say so.
00:55:37We're engaged.
00:55:38What?
00:55:39Hey, that's a long story.
00:55:41I knew you were sad about being alone for Christmas, but I had no idea you were going
00:55:44to take it this far.
00:55:45It's a huge misunderstanding.
00:55:47Um, but my mom's already planning the wedding and calling all of the relatives.
00:55:52So what are you going to do?
00:55:53I mean, what can I do?
00:55:55Just wait it out a couple more days, try to get this ring off my finger and figure it
00:55:59out from there.
00:56:00What if you two work out?
00:56:02You have such an iconic story of how you met.
00:56:04Sarah, I don't think I would call that iconic.
00:56:07I think I would call that desperate.
00:56:08Don't say that.
00:56:09I mean, look, even if he did like me, it would never work.
00:56:15What do I tell my family?
00:56:16Aha!
00:56:17Just kidding.
00:56:18This is not Dean.
00:56:19This is actually Josh.
00:56:20And I hired him to pretend to be Dean, pretend to be my boyfriend, come home with me for
00:56:24Christmas so I don't look like a lonely loser.
00:56:26Oh yeah, and by the way, we accidentally got engaged.
00:56:33Hey, let me, I'll call you back.
00:56:35Don't leave me hanging.
00:56:41Dean?
00:56:42Katie!
00:56:43Hey, I've been trying to call you.
00:56:45Yeah, maybe you should have taken the hint.
00:56:47Listen, we need to talk.
00:56:49Yeah, I'm busy right now.
00:56:51We can talk when I see you.
00:56:53Okay, because...
00:56:54Bye, Dean.
00:56:56I'm in town.
00:56:59Hello?
00:57:00Hey, oh.
00:57:04So, what did I miss?
00:57:06Well, Bernie here was telling me how he has to work on Christmas Eve.
00:57:10And unfortunately, he's missing out on watching Christmas movies with his family.
00:57:14Bummer.
00:57:15It is.
00:57:20You know, one of the things my mom and I love to do on Christmas Eve was find somebody having
00:57:24a tough time and try to bring them a little Christmas cheer.
00:57:30So what do you have in mind?
00:57:34No.
00:57:35No way.
00:57:36Oh, come on.
00:57:37Nope.
00:57:38Hey, what happened to that karaoke fiend from your ad?
00:57:40She only comes out on Fridays after a long night at the bar.
00:57:43For my mom.
00:57:45You are wearing her ring.
00:57:54For your mom.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:57Let's do this.
00:57:58This goes out to anyone who wishes they were somewhere else this Christmas.
00:58:12Hear, hear.
00:58:16On the first day of Christmas, my friend Katie gave to me a partner in karaoke.
00:58:24On the second day of Christmas, my fake dean gave to me two eggnogs and a partner in karaoke.
00:58:37On the third day of Christmas, my mean boss gave to me three lame shifts, two eggnogs and a partner in karaoke.
00:58:50On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me twelve congratulations, eleven Christmas cookies, ten empty bar stools, nine busburger tweeds, eight perfect pancakes, seven dollars in tips, six bachelorette clues, five other things.
00:59:11Four Christmas presents, three lame shifts, two eggnogs, two eggnogs, and a partner in karaoke.
00:59:25Thanks, guys.
00:59:26That really made my day.
00:59:28Hey, Brenny.
00:59:32Here you go.
00:59:34No one should make only seven dollars in tips on Christmas Eve.
00:59:38You're welcome.
00:59:39Merry Christmas.
00:59:40Merry Christmas.
00:59:41Merry Christmas.
00:59:52So, that's how you and your mom like to spend Christmas.
00:59:56Well, part of it.
00:59:58Mom always said, the best way to stop feeling sorry for yourself is to make someone else's day better.
01:00:02She sounds great.
01:00:04I would have loved to meet her.
01:00:06I think she would have loved to meet you, too.
01:00:09Well, I didn't realize how late it's getting. We should head back home. Everyone will be waiting.
01:00:15Okay.
01:00:16Mom's baking. I can smell it from here.
01:00:17Me too. It smells like...
01:00:18Dean?
01:00:19Uh, it's not what I was going to say, but okay.
01:00:20What are you doing here?
01:00:21Katie, I made a huge mistake.
01:00:22Yeah, you did.
01:00:23Showing up here.
01:00:24Dean, what were you thinking?
01:00:25Oh, so this is Dean.
01:00:27Who's this?
01:00:28Uh...
01:00:29Uh...
01:00:30Uh...
01:00:31Uh...
01:00:32Uh...
01:00:33Uh...
01:00:34Uh...
01:00:35It's not what I was going to say, but okay.
01:00:36What are you doing here?
01:00:37Katie, I made a huge mistake.
01:00:38Yeah, you did.
01:00:39Showing up here.
01:00:40Dean, what were you thinking?
01:00:41Oh, so this is Dean.
01:00:42Who's this?
01:00:43Uh...
01:00:44Uh...
01:00:45Everything okay?
01:00:46Oh, uh...
01:00:47Yeah.
01:00:48Yeah, uh...
01:00:49Who's that?
01:00:50Uh...
01:00:51She just ran into an old friend.
01:00:52Hi.
01:00:53Well, don't stand up there, Nicole, too long.
01:00:54You'll turn into an icicle.
01:00:56Ah!
01:00:57I have to get you out of here now.
01:00:58Who, me?
01:00:59No.
01:01:00No.
01:01:01No.
01:01:02No.
01:01:03No.
01:01:04No.
01:01:05No.
01:01:06No.
01:01:07No.
01:01:08No.
01:01:09No.
01:01:10Who, me?
01:01:11What?
01:01:12You can't leave.
01:01:13What am I supposed to do?
01:01:14Uh...
01:01:15Just...
01:01:16Just stall for time.
01:01:17Okay.
01:01:30Where's Katie?
01:01:31Um...
01:01:32Something came up.
01:01:36What are you doing here?
01:01:38Told you, Katie.
01:01:39I made a mistake.
01:01:41I miss you.
01:01:43You miss me?
01:01:44Mm-hmm.
01:01:45You dumped me 48 hours ago.
01:01:46I thought you might bring that up.
01:01:47Classic Katie.
01:01:48Listen, breaking up with you was the worst decision I ever made.
01:01:51I recognize that now.
01:01:53So you thought crashing my family's Christmas was a good time to tell me that?
01:01:56You invited me!
01:02:02Dean?
01:02:03You...
01:02:04You cannot stay here.
01:02:05Well, I'm not leaving until we've had a chance to talk!
01:02:07Stop!
01:02:08Fine.
01:02:09There's a...
01:02:10There's a hotel downtown.
01:02:12Starlight Inn.
01:02:13Just go there and wait for me.
01:02:14Katie...
01:02:15Just go!
01:02:16I will call you.
01:02:17I'll be waiting.
01:02:18Uh...
01:02:19So she just dropped me off while she went...
01:02:20Oh!
01:02:21There she is!
01:02:22I was just telling Julia how you had to pick up a last minute present.
01:02:25That's right.
01:02:26Um...
01:02:27Just got back with it.
01:02:28Wait.
01:02:29So where is it?
01:02:30Hmm?
01:02:31The gift that you just picked up?
01:02:32It's...
01:02:33Uh...
01:02:34It's...
01:02:35Uh...
01:02:36So, she just...
01:02:37Dropped me off while she went...
01:02:38Oh!
01:02:39There she is!
01:02:40I was just telling Julia how you had to pick up a last minute present.
01:02:44That's right.
01:02:45Um...
01:02:46Just got back with it.
01:02:47Wait.
01:02:48So where is it?
01:02:50Hmm?
01:02:51The gift that you just picked up?
01:02:53that you just picked up?
01:02:54Uh, it's in my pocket.
01:02:56In your car.
01:02:58In my pocket, in the car.
01:03:00The car pocket for safekeeping.
01:03:03You're a little weird since you got engaged.
01:03:09What happened?
01:03:11Nothing, I just sent him to a hotel.
01:03:13What are you gonna do?
01:03:14I don't know, but this is a disaster.
01:03:17I have to talk to Sarah.
01:03:19Maybe I should leave?
01:03:20No, just give me a chance to get rid of Dean.
01:03:38Last minute Christmas emergency?
01:03:41You could say that.
01:03:50Hey, engaged girl.
01:03:54Admit it, my plan was genius.
01:03:57Yeah, genius, except for one part.
01:03:59Dean's here.
01:04:00Wasn't that the whole point?
01:04:01To make your family think Dean was there?
01:04:03No, not Josh Dean.
01:04:04Dean Dean.
01:04:05Oh no.
01:04:08Oh yes, and now he's saying it was all a mistake
01:04:10and now he wants to get back together.
01:04:14Is that what you want?
01:04:16No, yes, maybe, I don't know.
01:04:20All I know is I cannot let him meet my family.
01:04:23Well, I'll just tell him to go back home
01:04:25and wait for you.
01:04:26Yeah, right, that's a good idea.
01:04:28I'll just, I'll send him back home
01:04:30and we can just talk when I get back.
01:04:34This is, this just keeps getting more complicated.
01:04:37Just breathe, Katie.
01:04:40It's gonna be okay.
01:04:41Easy for you to say.
01:04:50Okay.
01:04:57Katie?
01:04:59What are you doing?
01:05:00Nothing, um, just going out for a little bit.
01:05:04But you just got back.
01:05:05Right, I forgot my, um, something.
01:05:11Katie?
01:05:15Katie?
01:05:16Ooh, it's so cold outside.
01:05:19Aren't you gonna answer that?
01:05:20That?
01:05:21No, no, it's probably just carolers.
01:05:23I mean, we have great Christmas music playing anyway, so.
01:05:29Katie, what on earth is going on here?
01:05:31You can't just, hello.
01:05:34Katie?
01:05:35Who's this?
01:05:37This?
01:05:38Um, this is a colleague from work.
01:05:41Thought I told you to wait for me.
01:05:43I had to see you.
01:05:44Oh, work colleague.
01:05:46Well, you must know Dean.
01:05:48I am Dean.
01:05:50And you must be mom.
01:05:53Come here.
01:05:54So good to finally meet you.
01:05:57Storm of the century out there.
01:05:59I smell cookies.
01:06:03There you go.
01:06:04Whoo.
01:06:11So, you're Dean?
01:06:15Mm-hmm.
01:06:17These cookies are excellent.
01:06:18And nutmeg, they're excellent.
01:06:20And you're not?
01:06:21Nutmeg?
01:06:22I knew it.
01:06:23This is too much to wrap our heads around right now.
01:06:25I know.
01:06:26I just found out there's another me.
01:06:28Half off, person.
01:06:29Katie.
01:06:30I'm sorry.
01:06:31Dean and I broke up and I didn't want to come home alone for Christmas.
01:06:36I hired someone.
01:06:38So you hired someone to propose to you?
01:06:40Wait, you're engaged?
01:06:41No, we're not engaged.
01:06:42It wasn't even a real proposal.
01:06:44It was all just a misunderstanding.
01:06:46Oh, good.
01:07:10Good.
01:07:11It's a relief.
01:07:12It's a relief.
01:07:13Because, actually, I've got a question for you.
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:14Yeah.
01:07:15You can have that back.
01:07:22Will you marry me?
01:07:28Sorry, I need some air. Excuse me.
01:07:30Excuse me.
01:07:42Katie, what are you doing out here?
01:07:46It's freezing.
01:07:50I was just trying to escape the mess that I made.
01:07:56I still don't understand.
01:08:00If you and Dean broke up, why didn't you just come home alone?
01:08:05Why did you go through all the trouble to hire a stranger?
01:08:09Because we were so excited to meet Dean.
01:08:12I just didn't want to ruin Christmas for you.
01:08:15How could you ruin Christmas?
01:08:18But you said it was a mother's dream for both of your kids to have someone at the holidays.
01:08:23It is.
01:08:26I want both of my children to have someone to share their lives with.
01:08:31But I don't want you to feel like you have to find someone to make me proud.
01:08:35You should find someone because he makes you happy.
01:08:39The way your father makes me happy.
01:08:42And the way you do.
01:08:43But Julia has somebody and you're so proud of her that she found the right guy and got married.
01:08:50Yes.
01:08:52She found the right guy.
01:08:55That's what I want for you, Katie.
01:08:57I...
01:08:59I don't want you to just find someone, but the one.
01:09:04That's what I have with your dad.
01:09:06That's what Julia has with Richard.
01:09:09And that's all I want for you.
01:09:10I'm sorry if I made you feel differently.
01:09:17But what do I do now?
01:09:19Everything is a mess.
01:09:22How do I fix that?
01:09:24Well, if there's one thing I've learned in my life, Katie, there's only one way to fix a mess.
01:09:35You just start cleaning up.
01:09:37Now, can we go inside?
01:09:49It's a little overwhelming.
01:09:51I'm sure she'll be right back.
01:09:54Cookie, anyone?
01:10:01Dean?
01:10:02Hmm?
01:10:04Sorry.
01:10:06Royal Dean.
01:10:08Can we talk, please?
01:10:09Yeah.
01:10:12So good.
01:10:16So...
01:10:18How much does freelancing pay for a gig like this?
01:10:21I'm beginning to think not enough.
01:10:26You're right, Katie.
01:10:27Family loves me.
01:10:29So...
01:10:30I worked things out with the promotion, and they're gonna let me work remotely.
01:10:33So we don't have to break up.
01:10:36You know...
01:10:38I realize something, Katie.
01:10:40We are partners.
01:10:43I don't know what I'm doing without you.
01:10:47We're meant to be together.
01:11:00Dean.
01:11:04You were right.
01:11:06Not about us being meant to be together.
01:11:09Before.
01:11:11About us breaking up.
01:11:13What?
01:11:15I think I was just so excited to find somebody that...
01:11:19I was blinded to who that somebody was.
01:11:22Wait, who are you talking about?
01:11:23You, Dean.
01:11:25Us.
01:11:26I mean...
01:11:28You proposed to me without us ever even talking about it.
01:11:31Yeah, but I spent a lot of money on the rings, so...
01:11:33You took a job across the country without talking to me about it?
01:11:36Yes, but I did talk to you about it after.
01:11:38You took a promotion for yourself without even thinking about me.
01:11:42And we're supposed to be partners.
01:11:44I know.
01:11:46And that was a mistake.
01:11:48This...
01:11:50Is the mistake.
01:11:52Look, for the past two days I got to spend time with somebody who actually likes spending time with me.
01:11:57Not because he needs me for work.
01:11:59But because he likes me.
01:12:02I mean...
01:12:04He asks me questions about myself.
01:12:06Like where I'm from and...
01:12:08What I like.
01:12:10What I think.
01:12:12I already know what you think, Kit Kat.
01:12:14Stop calling me that.
01:12:17I can't stand that name.
01:12:19And if that was true, you wouldn't be here today.
01:12:24All right, Katie. I don't know about this Josh guy.
01:12:27All right, but I know about us.
01:12:30We make sense together.
01:12:33I want more from a relationship than it just to make sense.
01:12:38I want the one.
01:12:40The one what?
01:12:43Goodbye, Dean.
01:12:44But what about us?
01:12:47There is no us anymore.
01:12:50Is Dean coming back in?
01:12:52He seems lovely.
01:12:53Actually, we broke up.
01:12:54Oh, thank goodness.
01:12:56Oh, he was so awful.
01:12:58He was really awful.
01:13:00I know.
01:13:01Where's Josh?
01:13:02He didn't tell you?
01:13:03He left.
01:13:05And he didn't say where he was going?
01:13:07He seemed really down.
01:13:09He could be anywhere.
01:13:11I know.
01:13:13I know.
01:13:15I know.
01:13:17I know.
01:13:19I know.
01:13:21I know.
01:13:22I know.
01:13:23I know.
01:13:24I know.
01:13:25I know.
01:13:26And he didn't say where he was going.
01:13:27He seemed really down.
01:13:29He could be anywhere.
01:13:32Should we all go out and look for him?
01:13:34Maybe he's close.
01:13:36No.
01:13:37I don't blame him for leaving.
01:13:39This is my fault.
01:13:42All of this is.
01:13:43Katie.
01:14:05Your dad let me use his tools.
01:14:08It's not exactly handmade, but I hope it counts.
01:14:11Merry Christmas.
01:14:42What's my name?
01:14:47I don't want to tell you.
01:14:49I don't want to know.
01:14:51I don't want to know.
01:14:54How are you?
01:14:55You have to get out of this way.
01:14:57Sorry me.
01:15:03Yes.
01:15:04When did you get to school,
01:15:05what do you do?
01:15:06I don't have to tell you.
01:15:07How are you going to do any other problems?
01:15:09Hey.
01:15:15Put another one in the record books for Katie Andrews.
01:15:18The colossal mess.
01:15:20I'm sure it's not that bad.
01:15:22No, it's worse.
01:15:24Not only did I humiliate myself,
01:15:26dump my boyfriend,
01:15:28fake an engagement,
01:15:29and ruin my entire Christmas Eve with my family.
01:15:32I chased off the first nice guy I met in years.
01:15:36Do you want me to come up?
01:15:37Do you have a time machine?
01:15:38It's not on me.
01:15:40Then no.
01:15:42No point in disrupting your Christmas plans, too.
01:15:45Hang in there, Katie.
01:15:47Things will turn around.
01:15:49I promise.
01:15:51Merry Christmas.
01:15:53Merry Christmas.
01:16:01Julia?
01:16:03Sorry, Katie.
01:16:04I'm not interrupting anything, am I?
01:16:05I thought carbs might help the situation.
01:16:13Did you come to gloat?
01:16:16What are you talking about?
01:16:18I came up here to check on my big sister.
01:16:20You think I came up here to gloat?
01:16:23Why not?
01:16:23Once again, you're the golden child,
01:16:26and I am an embarrassment to the Andrews family.
01:16:31Is that how you think I see you?
01:16:34Katie, I don't look down on you.
01:16:36I've always looked up to you.
01:16:38What?
01:16:39You've always been the cool sister.
01:16:41You moved to the big city.
01:16:44You got your own place.
01:16:45The amazing job.
01:16:46You're living your dreams.
01:16:49What about Richard?
01:16:53Richard's my dream, Katie.
01:16:55Getting married and settling down, that's what we wanted.
01:16:58That doesn't make me the golden child.
01:17:01Last Christmas, the gift.
01:17:06That bag?
01:17:08I just cut you that because I don't know what else to give you.
01:17:11You got me exactly what I wanted,
01:17:13so I gave you something just like that.
01:17:17If this is how you really feel, then
01:17:18why is it always so competitive between us?
01:17:24I don't know.
01:17:24I guess I've just...
01:17:26I've always tried to keep up with you.
01:17:28Oh, it's not easy being the younger sister to your hero.
01:17:40Can we make a Christmas promise?
01:17:45No more competition.
01:17:48No more black sheep or golden child.
01:17:52Just sisters.
01:17:56Okay, deal.
01:17:58But I have to warn you,
01:18:00my present is still going to blow yours out of the water.
01:18:03I know.
01:18:06Okay, so now what are we going to do about Josh?
01:18:10What do you mean?
01:18:11Come on.
01:18:12Katie, I see the way you look at him.
01:18:15Even if you've only known the guy a few days,
01:18:17you're crazy about him.
01:18:19You got fake engaged to him.
01:18:20Okay.
01:18:21Okay.
01:18:22Okay.
01:18:22Okay.
01:18:22Okay.
01:18:28Still not answering his phone, huh?
01:18:38No.
01:18:41I really think I brought him down.
01:18:44I don't know where he could be.
01:18:52I'll...
01:18:52I'll be right back.
01:18:53Tell mom and dad I'll be right back.
01:18:57What?
01:18:58Katie, it's Christmas Eve.
01:19:01Nothing's open.
01:19:03I know a place that is.
01:19:04Hit me again, Bernie.
01:19:15Are you sure?
01:19:16That's a lot of eggnog.
01:19:18You do know it's non-alcoholic.
01:19:21Yeah.
01:19:27Thanks.
01:19:28One fake fiancee who is really, really, really sorry.
01:19:45Katie, what are you doing here?
01:19:48I came to apologize.
01:19:50I should have never pulled you into all of this,
01:19:52and I've realized that I probably should have just told the truth.
01:19:56Well, if we're telling the truth now, then it's okay.
01:20:03For what it's worth, I actually had a really nice time.
01:20:07Sorry I came between you and Dean.
01:20:10Congratulations, by the way.
01:20:12Josh, there is no more me and Dean.
01:20:17I thought all you wanted was your perfect Christmas
01:20:21at home with your perfect boyfriend or fiancee or whatever.
01:20:25I did want all of that.
01:20:27I mean, I still do.
01:20:29But I realized it.
01:20:31I think I had it all wrong.
01:20:34Dean wasn't the perfect boyfriend.
01:20:36I mean, he wasn't the perfect anything.
01:20:40And Josh, for the last two days,
01:20:43I got to spend it with somebody who I actually like
01:20:46and who actually likes me back.
01:20:48And I think I might have gotten a glimpse
01:20:50of what perfect actually looks like.
01:20:54Look, I know I've embarrassed myself,
01:20:57not to mention you.
01:20:59And I don't expect you to just forgive me like that.
01:21:02But I do know that you don't deserve
01:21:04to spend Christmas alone.
01:21:06And I know that my family would never forgive me
01:21:08if I didn't invite you to spend Christmas with us.
01:21:12They really like you.
01:21:14I really like them.
01:21:16Really?
01:21:17Yeah.
01:21:18Your family's the best.
01:21:20They really made me feel like I belong.
01:21:23But I'm not going to stay here for them.
01:21:28I would stay here for you.
01:21:30Look, Katie, I don't care that you hired me.
01:21:35And I don't care that your awful ex showed up
01:21:37or if your family thinks you're crazy.
01:21:40You are the most amazing person that I've ever met.
01:21:43You're funny.
01:21:45You're smart.
01:21:46You're thoughtful.
01:21:48And I mean, look at you.
01:21:50You're beautiful.
01:21:52I just have to keep seeing you.
01:21:55So either I'm going to need a long-term extension
01:21:58on my contract or
01:22:00or we just make this official.
01:22:15Best Christmas Eve ever.
01:22:16And last.
01:22:30But certainly not least.
01:22:32Oh, thank you.
01:22:41Wow.
01:22:43I didn't even notice you taking this.
01:22:46Mom, I'm impressed.
01:22:49There was just something about you two standing there
01:22:52that seemed real.
01:22:55I think it is.
01:22:56I think it is.
01:22:58I see the Christmas star in the sky.
01:23:20Santa's reindeer are ready to fly.
01:23:23Every child believing wishes can all come true.
01:23:31Everyone's laughing and dancing.
01:23:35The mistletoe's hung for romancing.
01:23:38There's no better place in the world to be
01:23:41than here at home with you.
01:23:45So let's lie.
01:23:46Let's lie.
01:23:49Watch the snow.
01:23:50Christmas time is here.
01:23:59Tiny snowflakes falling like stars.
01:24:03Yomit cupcakes and peppermint balls playing games
01:24:08and singing all of the carols we know.
01:24:13We know.
01:24:14Everyone's singing their presents.
