00:00:20Lovely ride today, darling.
00:00:23There you go.
00:00:24Oh, my.
00:00:27You are hungry today, Noel.
00:00:29Oh, there you are, Victoria.
00:00:31Gabriel?
00:00:32We're late.
00:00:33What?
00:00:33Change of plans.
00:00:34The lighting ceremony's been moved up.
00:00:36Rescheduled.
00:00:36To when?
00:00:37Uh, now.
00:00:38Now?
00:00:39Well, actually, 15 minutes ago, so yes, now.
00:00:41Why?
00:00:42Something about the Yuletide exhibit and the partridge getting stuck in the pear tree.
00:00:45I don't ask.
00:00:48The partridge in the pear tree pushed the Winter Lights Festival, which then delayed your arrival
00:00:52at the Holiday Symphony, which subsequently changed the Adventry celebration to again 17 minutes ago.
00:00:57Gabriel, you scheduled his bananas.
00:00:59It's crackers.
00:01:00Christmas crackers, to be exact.
00:01:01Gabriel.
00:01:02Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood.
00:01:03I hate to tell you this, but when January comes and you officially take over the figurehead
00:01:07duties of the Duchess, this chaos will increase a hundredfold.
00:01:10What if we do things differently next year?
00:01:13We don't do different here, Victoria.
00:01:15You know that.
00:01:15It's just that I have all these...
00:01:18Oh, that is very tight.
00:01:21The goal is to breathe, right?
00:01:23Unfortunately, I don't think it is.
00:01:25Heels.
00:01:26What if next year we do something with less pomp and circumstance?
00:01:31Something that the community can relate to, feel a part of.
00:01:36I want them to feel comfortable, connected, relaxed.
00:01:40Oh, you want relaxation?
00:01:42No problem.
00:01:42I can totally schedule that in for you two years from now.
00:01:46Gabriel.
00:01:47I hear you, your highness.
00:01:51But now is not the time to reinvent the wheel.
00:01:53Now is the time to deck yourself in the Christmas spirit.
00:01:57Bah humbug.
00:01:57Wrong spirit.
00:02:06I present to you, Her Royal Highness, Princess Victoria of Zilarni.
00:02:13Thank you all.
00:02:16Thank you for coming.
00:02:17Please stick with a script this time.
00:02:21I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:02:23So sorry.
00:02:23Thank you for your waiting.
00:02:26Sorry.
00:02:28Welcome to Zilarnia Palace.
00:02:32It is my honor to be your host tonight alongside my mother and my younger sister.
00:02:40Thank you for joining our Advent lighting.
00:02:45As you may know, the four candles on the Advent wreath represent hope, joy, peace and love.
00:02:58They're all out of water.
00:03:01Tonight, uh, so today, uh, today, we will be lighting the first candle to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas
00:03:09season.
00:03:17May we all experience the hope that the holiday brings to all of our hearts in Zilarnia.
00:03:33I'll just like you another one.
00:03:52I'll just like you another one.
00:03:53Absolutely the worst thing I've ever done.
00:03:54Such a lovely annual event.
00:03:57And, um, uh, you did very well, Victoria.
00:04:02Oh, did I, Mother?
00:04:04Well, we can't always be perfect, my love.
00:04:07But we must try.
00:04:08It is our duty to uphold the royal standard.
00:04:13The Valentino is hanging in your room for the next event.
00:04:17Please tell me you're fine to Valentino pajamas.
00:04:19I'm afraid not.
00:04:21But feel free to sign the official royal Christmas cards in your PJs later tonight.
00:04:28Thank you, darling.
00:04:32Oh, did she do her own hair?
00:04:35Mother.
00:04:36Oh, don't worry.
00:04:37I got you.
00:04:38I got you.
00:04:39I got you.
00:04:41I got you.
00:04:43I got you.
00:04:45I got you.
00:04:46I got you.
00:04:48I got you.
00:04:49I got you.
00:04:54To my wild and bright daughter, your light illuminates all of my dark skies.
00:05:00Merry Christmas.
00:05:02Love, Papa.
00:05:28What's her name?
00:05:30I hear it's Christmas, born on the actual day.
00:05:34Well, Christmas, I'm sure you're the perfect Christmas present.
00:05:53That was a lovely evening.
00:05:55Did you see the way that Prince Reginald was looking at you?
00:05:59Prince who?
00:06:00Prince Reginald.
00:06:01Tall, dark, handsome.
00:06:03You've literally described every prince in every fairy tale.
00:06:06Anyway, he couldn't keep his eyes off you.
00:06:09Honestly, I didn't even notice.
00:06:11Besides, I barely have time to breathe, let alone dates.
00:06:14Mother, I'm not done.
00:06:16This one looked really.
00:06:18Speaking of time to breathe...
00:06:20Oh, I already requested additional time for future gown fittings.
00:06:23Thank you, Gabriel.
00:06:24That is very helpful and definitely necessary, but that is not what I had in mind.
00:06:28I have an idea.
00:06:29You do love a good idea, but before that, do we all have five minutes for the ghost of Christmas
00:06:34future?
00:06:35Is that the ghost who tells me about all the delicious things I get to eat tomorrow?
00:06:38Unfortunately not.
00:06:39Excuse me.
00:06:41These are your holiday events for this week.
00:06:46That was horrible, Gabriel.
00:06:50Have you no shame?
00:06:52None.
00:06:53Gabriel, this list is never ending.
00:06:58Mother, I have been working very hard so that I'm ready to take over your duties come January, but...
00:07:05Something doesn't feel right.
00:07:07Your duties are expansive because you need to get a taste of what it will be like when I ease
00:07:13up on my responsibilities.
00:07:15I have joyfully fulfilled these duties for decades, but it's time for me to slow down and you are next
00:07:23in line.
00:07:23But what if I don't want to do things the way they've always been done?
00:07:28I want to try something different and incorporate my ideas and really connect with people.
00:07:34When I first married your father, I was thrust into a royal existence with many expectations.
00:07:40But maybe that's the difference between you and I.
00:07:43You married into this.
00:07:45I was born into it.
00:07:46I've never had the freedom to choose anything.
00:07:50What if I want to have a choice now?
00:07:53Are you saying you don't want to be Grand Duchess?
00:07:56I've always known that that is the role I'm going to step into and I'm very keen to.
00:08:00It's just that as that is becoming more of a reality and January is very fast approaching,
00:08:07I have so many questions.
00:08:08Questions that I need to find answers for.
00:08:13And Gabriel says my next window to think is in two years.
00:08:16698 days.
00:08:18But who's counting?
00:08:19I am.
00:08:20What is your proposition?
00:08:22Well, I haven't thought it all the way through yet, but I have an idea.
00:08:27Yes?
00:08:28I'd like to return to the dude ranch that father and I attended when I was a girl.
00:08:31I can't think of a better place to get clarity.
00:08:35I can see how important this is to you.
00:08:38So if you can be back by December 19th for the lighting of the third advent wreath candle,
00:08:44you may go.
00:08:46Of course, of course I will be.
00:08:47I will.
00:08:47I promise I will be back by the 19th.
00:08:49I can fill in while you're home.
00:08:52Then we should talk.
00:08:54And Gabriel, you are to accompany her.
00:08:56Me?
00:08:57Yes, you.
00:08:58As an American, you can help Victoria navigate the country culture.
00:09:02I'm from New York.
00:09:03Well, they have ranches in New York.
00:09:05Madam, the only ranch I'm acquainted with is ranch dressing.
00:09:09Mother.
00:09:12Thank you so much.
00:09:14I promise you'll be back by the 19th.
00:09:16I truly hope you find what you are looking for.
00:09:20Oh, sweet.
00:09:32Well, I'm glad we finally made it here.
00:09:37Oh, come on.
00:09:44Nice parking.
00:09:45Oh, thank you.
00:09:46And you said I was a bad driver.
00:09:48I will get the coffees.
00:09:50You're very kind.
00:09:51I see the southern hospitality.
00:09:53Well, this is the north.
00:09:54And that was sarcasm.
00:09:55I'm sorry?
00:09:56You just crushed Christmas.
00:09:58I beg your pardon?
00:09:59You just drove over my Christmas decorations.
00:10:03Look, I'm not sure where you're from.
00:10:05But around here, we tend to look where we're going when we're driving.
00:10:07I'm from Zalarnia, where we drive carefully and consciously.
00:10:10Okay.
00:10:11Well, in Zalarnia, do you drive on the left or the right side of the road?
00:10:14The right side.
00:10:16Figuratively, not literally.
00:10:18Pedestrians are never at fault.
00:10:20Look at that.
00:10:24I'm very sorry.
00:10:26Although, it is kind of ironic, isn't it?
00:10:29Yeah, how's that?
00:10:30The irony that the nutcrackers crushed.
00:10:33Because nutcrackers crush things.
00:10:35You know, they crush things with their mouths.
00:10:40I'm very sorry.
00:10:41And I'm more than happy to pay for anything that I broke.
00:10:44Oh, it's fine.
00:10:45I got more of them.
00:10:47If you'll excuse us, we have acquired our caffeinated beverages and we'll now be on our way.
00:10:54Well, then, Barry's agree.
00:10:56And it won't happen again.
00:10:58Yeah.
00:11:06Seriously?
00:11:08Sorry.
00:11:09Extra sorry this time.
00:11:13It's fine.
00:11:15It's fine.
00:11:30We're finally here.
00:11:38It's exactly as I remember it.
00:11:41I will go out and get the rest of them.
00:11:44With all that stuff, how long are you staying?
00:11:48You must be Victoria Thiessen.
00:11:51You're our last guest to arrive for the holiday season.
00:11:54That I am.
00:11:56And my friend Gabriel has the other room.
00:12:05Jimmy Blaylock, long-time owner.
00:12:07We have one safety rule here.
00:12:09Don't squat with your spurs on.
00:12:11We'll try not to.
00:12:12Dude ranch jokes.
00:12:13I'm full of them.
00:12:16So, Zalarnia, you folks have come a long way.
00:12:18How'd you hear about us?
00:12:19Oh, well, I was here years ago on a father-daughter trip.
00:12:21We did so many fun things.
00:12:24We cooked over the campfire.
00:12:25We played games.
00:12:26We danced.
00:12:27We do all that still and more.
00:12:29Oh, welcome to Peaceful Pines.
00:12:31Lady Blaylock.
00:12:32Victoria.
00:12:33I'm so happy to be here.
00:12:34She's not only my wonderful wife.
00:12:36She's also a superb ranch manager.
00:12:39Oh, honey, which means I'm the glue that holds this place together.
00:12:43She's the glue that holds this place together.
00:12:45Yeah, I just said that, honey.
00:12:47Speaking of, here is a list of ranch activities that we'd love you to participate in while you're here, if
00:12:53you like.
00:12:55There's also some Christmas events during your time.
00:12:58My personal favorite is the Festival of Lights on the 18th.
00:13:01Well, that sounds lovely.
00:13:02That wasn't here last time.
00:13:04When is the holiday dance?
00:13:05Unfortunately, we haven't done that in a number of years.
00:13:09Oh, what a shame.
00:13:11I have such vivid memories of attending with my father.
00:13:14Oh, well, it was a lovely Christmas tradition, and now we have new ones.
00:13:18Why don't you head on over to the barn for Christmas games?
00:13:21It's a really fun way to break brittle with the others.
00:13:24We have you in a small cabin right beside the barn, and a great room for you upstairs.
00:13:29We'll have the porter bring your bags over to your rooms.
00:13:32Perfect.
00:13:34Lovely.
00:13:37Your supporter.
00:13:43My cabin is adorable.
00:13:46How's your room?
00:13:47Rustic.
00:13:48Have you actually read this list?
00:13:49I skimmed it.
00:13:51Because some of these words seem really intense.
00:13:53It's very relaxed here, Gabriel.
00:13:55I had nothing but fun the last time I was here, and I have no reason to believe it would
00:13:58be any different this time.
00:13:59If you say so.
00:14:01After you, your highness.
00:14:03Can you hang it on a tree?
00:14:05No.
00:14:07Can I eat it?
00:14:08Yes.
00:14:09Is it a dessert?
00:14:11Yes.
00:14:12Could I find it at the North Pole?
00:14:15Maybe.
00:14:17That's not helping us.
00:14:19I can eat it.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:20But you'd have to catch it first, which is doubtful.
00:14:24Is it a gingerbread man?
00:14:26Yes.
00:14:26Yeah, you guessed it.
00:14:28Hi.
00:14:29You must be the new guest.
00:14:30I'm Shelby.
00:14:31I have some homemade nog with fresh nutmeg.
00:14:36You're welcome.
00:14:37I'm Victoria.
00:14:38Uh, Gabriel.
00:14:40Do you want to join us?
00:14:41We'd love to.
00:14:41Lots of room.
00:14:42Come on in.
00:14:43Come on in.
00:14:43Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.
00:14:45Oh, give her a crown.
00:14:47Oh.
00:14:47Hey, get her in.
00:14:47Uh, thank you.
00:14:50You're never going to get this one.
00:14:52All right.
00:14:52Can I give it as a present?
00:14:54Yeah.
00:14:56Maybe?
00:14:56Maybe, yeah.
00:14:57Oh, okay.
00:14:58Uh, am I from a Christmas story?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:02Okay, uh, am I a character from a Christmas story?
00:15:05Yes.
00:15:06Am I Santa Claus?
00:15:08Santa's not a character of a story.
00:15:10Santa's real.
00:15:11You're absolutely right.
00:15:14I am a character from a story, and I can sometimes be a present.
00:15:20Am I a nutcracker?
00:15:22Yes!
00:15:23Yes!
00:15:23Yes, I am a nutcracker!
00:15:26Well, isn't that ironic?
00:15:30It's you.
00:15:31Ms. Zalarnia, right?
00:15:34You two know each other?
00:15:35Oh, yeah.
00:15:36She crushed my Christmas decorations.
00:15:37It was an accident.
00:15:38Was it twice?
00:15:40Accidentally twice.
00:15:45Oh, I just wanted to let you know that your bags are up in your room.
00:15:48You work here?
00:15:49Something like that.
00:15:51Anyway, have a good evening, uh...
00:15:54Victoria.
00:15:55Huntley.
00:15:57Huntley.
00:15:58Huntley.
00:16:09Huntley.
00:16:10Huntley.
00:16:11Huntley.
00:16:12Huntley.
00:16:13Huntley.
00:16:14Huntley.
00:16:14Huntley.
00:16:14Huntley.
00:16:15Huntley.
00:16:15Huntley.
00:16:15Huntley.
00:16:16Huntley.
00:16:16Huntley.
00:16:16Huntley.
00:16:17Huntley.
00:16:19Huntley.
00:16:22Huntley.
00:16:30Oh, well, Bing, you've dropped your water bucket.
00:16:35Charlie does it all the time.
00:16:38Rowdy like that.
00:16:39Let me help you.
00:16:41Thanks.
00:16:44Sorry if I gave you a hard time about the decorations.
00:16:47Well, I did crush your Christmas.
00:16:49Twice.
00:16:54So, you work here, sort of.
00:16:58I'm Jimmy and Nainey's son.
00:17:00I just help out during the holidays.
00:17:02From where?
00:17:04Billings.
00:17:05And what do you do there?
00:17:08Baseball.
00:17:09Oh, do you play?
00:17:11Once upon a time, but now I coach.
00:17:15Well, it's nice that you're able to come home over the holidays.
00:17:19Yeah, it's fun, but it's a lot of work.
00:17:22Oh, I can see that.
00:17:24Especially now my parents are getting up there, they want to retire, and kind of want to hand
00:17:28me the reins.
00:17:30What about you?
00:17:31Brings you all the way from Europe to Montana.
00:17:33Well, I'm actually a repeat customer.
00:17:36My father brought me here when I was a little girl, and it was my favorite Christmas ever.
00:17:41And now you're back.
00:17:43For some Christmas cheer.
00:17:46I have been very busy at work lately, and I just needed some time for me.
00:17:52And I remembered feeling so alive and free here that I thought I'd come back.
00:17:58Well, there's no better place to clear your head.
00:18:04Get some rest.
00:18:06We start early in the morning.
00:18:07Oh, I'm definitely ready.
00:18:08Gabriel picked out the most fabulous outfit for me.
00:18:11I'm sorry, what?
00:18:13Oh, uh, it's this silly little thing he does for me as my assistant.
00:18:18He's my assistant.
00:18:19Okay.
00:18:22Definitely do things different in Zalarnia.
00:18:26All right.
00:18:29See you in the morning.
00:18:30I'll see you in the morning.
00:18:53I'm just saying, that was ice.
00:18:54That wasn't water.
00:18:55That was ice.
00:18:56And yet you live to tell the tale.
00:18:58Did you sleep well?
00:18:59Like a rock, even though I had a late night.
00:19:03I was sidetracked by Huntley in the barn.
00:19:05Oh?
00:19:06Not like a bat.
00:19:08I was helping him with a horse.
00:19:10Is that what we're calling it?
00:19:11Anyway, it turns out that he is Jimmy and Nadie's son.
00:19:16Huh.
00:19:23Excuse me.
00:19:24Morning.
00:19:25How did you sneak up on me like that?
00:19:27Cowboy instinct.
00:19:28You were staying in front of a bull or behind a horse.
00:19:30You guys want coffee?
00:19:31Lovely.
00:19:33Peanut cracker.
00:19:34Howdy.
00:19:35No.
00:19:37Here you go.
00:19:40If it's not too much trouble, we would love some cream and sugar.
00:19:43Sugar's on the table, cream's in the cow.
00:19:44Feel free to give it a tug.
00:19:46I'm just kidding, pal.
00:19:47It's right in front of you right there.
00:19:48Oh.
00:19:50Oh.
00:19:51I have no idea where to start.
00:19:53Not bad, huh?
00:19:54Hey, Mom.
00:19:55Hey, son.
00:19:57Everything smells delicious.
00:19:59What are we having today?
00:20:00We are having cackleberries, overland trout, and hot rocks.
00:20:03What?
00:20:04Eggs, bacon, and biscuits.
00:20:06Yeah.
00:20:06Biscuits are a family tradition.
00:20:08They are delicious.
00:20:10Save yourself a trip and take two.
00:20:12May I?
00:20:14Well, your family has clearly perfected country cooking.
00:20:17Well, not me.
00:20:18All I can make is son of a gun stew.
00:20:20You can barely make that.
00:20:21What is that?
00:20:22Trust me.
00:20:22You don't want to know.
00:20:25I'm going to try my luck with that cow.
00:20:27One for the road.
00:20:30I will take two for the road, please.
00:20:34Mind if I join you?
00:20:35Sure.
00:20:39I can get this for you.
00:20:42Is this what you call northern hospitality?
00:20:45Something like that.
00:20:47Good morning.
00:20:48Who's ready for the day?
00:20:50I am.
00:20:52Excellent.
00:20:54Hey, newbie, come on over here.
00:20:56Newbie, me?
00:20:57Well, if the boots fit.
00:21:01As you two are our newest guests, we have some initiation tasks for both of you.
00:21:07What's on the docker today, Captain?
00:21:09I prefer cowboss.
00:21:10He prefers cowboss.
00:21:11Oh, all right then, cowboss.
00:21:15Today, you're going to be cleaning horse tack and saddles.
00:21:19You're going to be bringing in hay.
00:21:20And my personal favorite, mucking out the stalls.
00:21:24Mucking?
00:21:25Mm-hmm.
00:21:26Charlie made a big old mess last night.
00:21:30Sure you're up for this?
00:21:32Absolutely.
00:21:32A jingle and a jangle, come on.
00:21:34A jingle and a jangle, come on.
00:21:36A jingle and a jangle, come on.
00:21:39Ow!
00:21:40Because the big man's here, he's got work to do for the year.
00:21:44Well, come on.
00:21:46A jingle and a jangle, come on.
00:21:48A jingle and a jangle, come on.
00:21:50A jingle and a jangle, come on.
00:21:53That's the big man's here, he's got work to do for the year.
00:21:57You've been good.
00:21:59Yeah, I hope you've been good.
00:22:01Yeah, I hope you've been good.
00:22:03Good boys and girls all night.
00:22:07Because the big man's here, he's got work to do for the year.
00:22:10All right.
00:22:13Hey, how the newbies do?
00:22:15See for yourself.
00:22:17Oh, dear.
00:22:18I do not remember all that from when I was a child.
00:22:22Well, over the years, you've made it a little more authentic.
00:22:24Have you?
00:22:25I'll leave you to it.
00:22:26All right.
00:22:27It was not that bad.
00:22:29Well, I will give it to you.
00:22:30You didn't act like a princess.
00:22:33So when do we get to do all the real cowboy stuff?
00:22:35I mean, this is real cowboy stuff.
00:22:38Oh, you mean like lassos and yeehaws and all that.
00:22:42Exactly.
00:22:43All right.
00:22:44Well, I guess you two earned it.
00:22:45Oh, no thanks.
00:22:47The only thing I want to lasso is a box of donuts, and you don't have any.
00:22:52Giddy-up.
00:23:02Yay!
00:23:03Whoa!
00:23:04Looks like we've got an expert here.
00:23:06She's part of a local youth rodeo.
00:23:08Yeah, we're very proud of her.
00:23:09Yeah, can you teach my son a thing or two?
00:23:12You trying to show me up, young lady?
00:23:14Maybe I am.
00:23:15Oh, really?
00:23:16I happen to be pretty good at this, actually.
00:23:21All right.
00:23:22Excuse me, can I have a little space?
00:23:24Oh, I didn't mean to intimidate you.
00:23:25Yeah, no, that's okay.
00:23:26That's okay.
00:23:28Hmm?
00:23:30Oh.
00:23:31Hmm.
00:23:34Better save the baseball, you.
00:23:35Oh, my goodness.
00:23:37Maybe we should get our young rodeo star some hot cocoa.
00:23:40What do you say?
00:23:41Deal.
00:23:42So, ready to give it a try?
00:23:44After that amazing demonstration?
00:23:47Absolutely.
00:23:48All right.
00:23:49All right, pressure's on here.
00:23:51I'll go first.
00:23:51Excuse me.
00:23:58Oh!
00:24:00Not bad, not bad.
00:24:02Very good.
00:24:03You've redeemed yourself.
00:24:04Now, it's your turn.
00:24:06Here you go.
00:24:07All right.
00:24:08Yep, you got that.
00:24:10Okay.
00:24:10You got your spot there.
00:24:12I'm going to back up here and be safe.
00:24:16Oh!
00:24:17Almost.
00:24:18Almost.
00:24:19Almost.
00:24:19Almost.
00:24:20Almost took his head off.
00:24:21Almost.
00:24:22Dang it a second.
00:24:23Can I help you?
00:24:25Absolutely.
00:24:26You want to take this in yourself.
00:24:29Rope is an extension of your aisle.
00:24:31So, if you're tense, you're going to come up short.
00:24:33Mm-hmm.
00:24:34So, you just want to kind of get in the flow and deny on your target.
00:24:39Swing.
00:24:40Release.
00:24:41Snap.
00:24:42Okay?
00:24:43Practice.
00:24:43Swing.
00:24:44Swing.
00:24:44Release.
00:24:45Release.
00:24:49That was close.
00:24:51Close.
00:24:51We're right there.
00:24:54Try it again.
00:24:55Okay.
00:24:56You got it?
00:24:57Mm-hmm.
00:24:59Swing.
00:25:00Release.
00:25:00Snap.
00:25:01Swing.
00:25:03Please.
00:25:04Snap.
00:25:05Oh!
00:25:06Ah!
00:25:07Hey, you did it.
00:25:10Oh, um, hang on a second.
00:25:13Sorry.
00:25:14Yeah.
00:25:15Oh.
00:25:16It's a little.
00:25:17Just that.
00:25:18Mm-hmm.
00:25:22Well, I should probably wash the hair.
00:25:23Yeah, of course it's.
00:25:27Yeah.
00:25:38Hi.
00:25:39Hi.
00:25:39Can you please help us find a rideshare?
00:25:42We're looking to go into town, and I just don't want to let her drive me again.
00:25:47Rideshare?
00:25:47Yeah.
00:25:48Around here, we get around on horseback.
00:25:49I'm sorry.
00:25:50You what?
00:25:51Ranch rules.
00:25:53She's joking.
00:25:55You are joking, right?
00:25:56Yes, of course.
00:25:57I'll call you a cab.
00:25:59Oh, hang on a second.
00:26:00Where are you trying to go?
00:26:01Oh, downtown for a little holiday shopping.
00:26:04I wanted to pick up some gifts for my family.
00:26:05I can drop you off in town.
00:26:07Heading up the mountain to work on the Festival Lights anyway.
00:26:09Well, that sounds like fun.
00:26:11Would you like some help?
00:26:12Well, that sounds like you've already got some plans.
00:26:14Oh, nonsense.
00:26:14We'd love to.
00:26:16Right, Gabriel?
00:26:16Actually, I've hit my quota for manual labor today.
00:26:20I think I'm just going to go find the spa.
00:26:21Oh, we don't have one.
00:26:23Or the pool.
00:26:24Yeah, it's at 30 degrees outside.
00:26:27Well, then I would just take a cold plunge.
00:26:28You know what?
00:26:29Come with me.
00:26:29I'll make your reservation at the spa in town.
00:26:34Looks like it's just us.
00:26:36Looks like it.
00:26:40I'm glad you trust me around your Christmas ornaments.
00:26:42I'm willing to give you a second chance.
00:26:43You're never going to let that go, are you?
00:26:45Probably not.
00:26:46You are going to want to change your jacket
00:26:48and definitely those boots.
00:26:50A lot more snow up in the mountain.
00:26:58Look at all this snow.
00:26:59It's so beautiful.
00:27:03Here.
00:27:05Try not to break these.
00:27:06Very funny.
00:27:10You okay?
00:27:11Yes, I almost broke myself.
00:27:14I'm excited to see a light walk.
00:27:16Back home, our Christmas market has an enormous candle carousel.
00:27:21It's lit every evening, and the flames cause it to turn slowly.
00:27:25Oh, sounds beautiful.
00:27:26It's a lovely tradition.
00:27:29So how long have you been doing the light walk?
00:27:31Oh, ten years now.
00:27:34Change up the display every year.
00:27:35Make it a little different experience.
00:27:37And what's this year's theme?
00:27:39Oh, no, I couldn't tell you that.
00:27:41Oh, no, I couldn't tell you that.
00:27:41That's top secret.
00:27:44All right, well, this year's theme is the big sky.
00:27:48Oh, that's perfect.
00:27:50There's nothing quite like the Montana skyline.
00:27:53It's absolutely beautiful.
00:27:54Yeah, nothing beats it.
00:27:57I often think about being here with my father, as we looked up at the night sky, stars twinkling,
00:28:05and we sat around the fire just drinking hot chocolate.
00:28:09Must have been a pretty special guy to bring you all this way for a father-daughter trip.
00:28:14He was.
00:28:16He passed a few years ago.
00:28:19Oh, no, I'm sorry.
00:28:26My mum says that I'm like him, but I'm not so sure anymore.
00:28:32I used to keep my heart open there.
00:28:36Everyone and everything, but lately it's...
00:28:39It's just been hard.
00:28:42Yeah, I'm happy with it.
00:28:47Well, being here seems to be getting you back to that, don't you think?
00:28:53Yes, maybe you're right.
00:28:58Sorry, I'm blathering.
00:28:59Oh, I like your blathering.
00:29:04Okay, well, it's your turn.
00:29:06I've been doing all the talking.
00:29:07Uh-oh.
00:29:08Tell me about you and baseball.
00:29:12Well, it's complicated.
00:29:15Try me.
00:29:17Okay.
00:29:20Well, I grew up playing ball here as a kid.
00:29:23Got pretty good.
00:29:26Good enough to get scouted.
00:29:28Chance to play pro.
00:29:29Old town rallied around me.
00:29:31It was pretty unbelievable.
00:29:37Then at my first training camp, I, uh, blew out my shoulder, shredded my rotator cuff.
00:29:43That was pretty much it.
00:29:45Ever since then, I've just been bouncing from team to team in the minors, assistant coaching wherever I can.
00:29:51Yeah.
00:29:53I'm sorry.
00:29:56Thanks.
00:30:00Well, I'm excited to see this all lit up.
00:30:02Yeah.
00:30:05You know what?
00:30:06I am parched.
00:30:10Please tell me you're not suggesting we dip a bucket in a well.
00:30:12No, no, no.
00:30:13We'll save that for tomorrow morning.
00:30:16What do you say?
00:30:18Drinks hot meat?
00:30:19Sure.
00:30:23Ready?
00:30:25Oh, come on.
00:30:28Oh, well, you hit it.
00:30:30That's...
00:30:30Wow.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:32I might be a bit rusty, I'm afraid.
00:30:39I'm not.
00:30:40Are you hustling me?
00:30:42Perhaps.
00:30:44Okay, what other games you played?
00:30:45Um, polo, cricket, watchable, croquet, fencing, and I was captain of Oxford's competitive rowing team.
00:30:55Indoor shuffleboard.
00:30:56I have personally ingrate pucks.
00:30:59Billiards.
00:31:00Oh, please.
00:31:01Anyone who's serious prefers snooker.
00:31:02Let me get this straight.
00:31:04You play darts, you fence, and you play pool.
00:31:07Snooker.
00:31:08I shoot snooker.
00:31:09What about axe throwing?
00:31:10Is that a thing?
00:31:11Oh, that's a thing, yes.
00:31:12Really?
00:31:13All right.
00:31:15Holiday drinks on the house.
00:31:16Loose.
00:31:18You're welcome.
00:31:19Take him for everything he's got.
00:31:21Oh, that should be easy.
00:31:23Hey.
00:31:25Shelby, how you been?
00:31:26Uh, overall, really good.
00:31:27It's been a little bit of a tougher week, though.
00:31:30Our fundraising efforts for the volunteer firefighters are way down from last year.
00:31:34No, I'm sorry.
00:31:35Anything I can do to help?
00:31:36Come up with a really quick way to raise a whole bunch of money.
00:31:39The firefighters are really low on resources.
00:31:42What about a holiday dance?
00:31:43You could sell tickets to raise the funds.
00:31:46I mean, I absolutely love that idea.
00:31:49I just don't think that I have the time to pull something like that together.
00:31:52Plus, I don't know where we would do it.
00:31:54I mean, the town hall is closed down due to that frozen pipe that burst.
00:31:58What about here?
00:31:59Here?
00:32:00Well, yes, here, in the barn.
00:32:01You could bring back the holiday dance.
00:32:04Oh, um...
00:32:04Why not?
00:32:05It was so much fun.
00:32:06Yeah, it's just, you know, organizing a dance for this short amount of time is a lot of work.
00:32:10My responsibilities here at the ranch, I don't think I can really take anything else on.
00:32:14I could do it.
00:32:15I have been attending large events my whole life.
00:32:17I know exactly how they're run.
00:32:19And it really, it wouldn't take much.
00:32:20The place is practically already decorated, just a few bits and bobs.
00:32:23And you could get live music and drinks and food.
00:32:27Yeah, I don't know.
00:32:28I mean, it's a lot of work.
00:32:29I would love to help.
00:32:30And plus, I can handle it all so as not to burden you.
00:32:33And I can also help.
00:32:35Yeah, I'm just not so sure about bringing the dance back, you know?
00:32:38Honey, it's...
00:32:38Just leave it with me for a minute, okay?
00:32:42Absolutely.
00:32:45Excuse me.
00:32:49Thank you so much for offering the help.
00:32:53Hopefully he lets us bring back the dance.
00:32:56Why did it stop?
00:32:59You know what?
00:33:00It's complicated.
00:33:02I'm sure he'll tell you about it soon.
00:33:14Good thing we're getting this done before it gets too cold.
00:33:19You look after this place, it'll look after you, son.
00:33:22Yeah, I get it.
00:33:23Not real subtle, Pop.
00:33:26Well, nobody's ever accused me of that before.
00:33:28Yeah.
00:33:30You know, uh...
00:33:32Shelby asked if we could host a fundraiser for the volunteer firefighters in the barn.
00:33:38Maybe bring back the holiday dance.
00:33:39That's a great idea.
00:33:41I'm still thinking about it.
00:33:43Your mother and I would love that.
00:33:47You know, for 38 years, all the most important things in our lives have happened right here.
00:33:58Yeah, it was a great place to grow up.
00:34:03I see this place bringing you the same joy it's brought to us.
00:34:11So what's keeping you in Billings?
00:34:14I don't see you getting the same kind of joy out of coaching.
00:34:17I don't want to talk about it, Pop.
00:34:22You think maybe coming back here makes you a failure?
00:34:25Is that it?
00:34:25Okay, I get it. I get it.
00:34:27You thought your life was going one direction, ended up going another.
00:34:30That is not failing.
00:34:33The only failure is failure to try.
00:34:38Look.
00:34:41I just want you happy.
00:34:44I won't deny I want you back here at the ranch.
00:34:47More than anything.
00:34:49But the only way I want that is if that's what you want.
00:34:53If it brings you joy.
00:34:57Now, to me, it looks like it does.
00:34:59But if I'm wrong,
00:35:03I can accept that.
00:35:04What I can't accept is you living a life you're not happy in.
00:35:11It's already straight.
00:35:14Trust your instincts.
00:35:27So I heard the lighting of the second advent candle went well.
00:35:30It did.
00:35:31I even told a funny anecdote about joy.
00:35:34That it sounds like you have everything under control.
00:35:36I do.
00:35:38But if you're not back for the lighting on the 19th, Mother will blow her crown.
00:35:43Don't worry.
00:35:44I will be.
00:35:45So, how's it going over there at the ranch?
00:35:48Any cute cowboys?
00:35:50There's definitely not a shortage of those.
00:35:53Really?
00:35:53Do tell.
00:35:54Do you have a minute?
00:35:55Sure.
00:35:56Am I giving you a second?
00:35:57Everything all right?
00:35:59Victoria?
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:01Let's do it.
00:36:02The dance?
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:06I'm so glad you came around.
00:36:07Okay, we just have to figure out which night.
00:36:09How about Thursday?
00:36:10No, Festival of Lights.
00:36:12Friday?
00:36:13The 19th.
00:36:14Yeah.
00:36:15Oh, no.
00:36:16I meant to be gone.
00:36:17Oh, well, I'll just have to extend my stay.
00:36:20Okay, first things first, poinsettias and trigger lights.
00:36:22We need lots of them.
00:36:23And can you please take a look at the floor plan I sketched?
00:36:27You already have a floor plan.
00:36:28I had high hopes.
00:36:30Apparently.
00:36:32This is so exciting.
00:36:35Are you sure your family's going to be okay with this?
00:36:37Oh, right.
00:36:38Emma, it's your mother.
00:36:40Oh, hello, mother.
00:36:42Hello, darling.
00:36:44What's this I hear about a dance?
00:36:46Let me explain.
00:36:48So, as you may have all heard, I have committed the ranch to hosting the holiday dance to raise funds
00:36:53for volunteer firefighters.
00:36:59It's very exciting.
00:37:01So, I could really use your help.
00:37:04Well, where do we start?
00:37:04Well, for the party decor, I thought that we could embrace classic Christmas while celebrating life here on the ranch.
00:37:11Like, we could turn old cowboy boots into floral centerpieces like this.
00:37:17Oh, that's beautiful.
00:37:19I love those.
00:37:22And we could make a Christmas tree out of hay bales, dress it up with Christmas lights, and then put
00:37:27a big sheriff star right on top.
00:37:29And I saw some old tires that back.
00:37:31I thought we could stack them up, paint them white, and turn them into snowmen.
00:37:35That's adorable.
00:37:38And, of course, at the barn entrance, I thought we could build an archway of lights and take two large
00:37:44nutcrackers and have them standing guard.
00:37:46Can we get some cowboy hats?
00:37:48Brilliant idea.
00:37:49How about line dancing?
00:37:50Oh, yes.
00:37:51That's how we met.
00:37:53Tom, do you remember?
00:37:55Do I?
00:37:56Let's make some Christmas magic.
00:37:58Oh, my God.
00:38:16Coco?
00:38:21You know, you have a real gift for motivating people.
00:38:26Oh.
00:38:28It's nothing.
00:38:30Just to mix some creativity and passion.
00:38:37Thank you for letting me lasso you into holding the dance.
00:38:40Oh, yeah.
00:38:41You really saddled me, that one.
00:38:46How'd your family take it with you extending the trip?
00:38:50Well, my mother was displeased, but I promised that I'd be home for the fourth and final Advent night.
00:38:58This is family tradition, so in the end, she relented.
00:39:04Good.
00:39:05It's, it's, it's going to be great.
00:39:07I think so.
00:39:09Yeah.
00:39:13What are you working on?
00:39:15This.
00:39:16Uh, well, eventually, I'm hoping it's going to be a horse.
00:39:21Eventually.
00:39:22Eventually.
00:39:22Maybe.
00:39:28You know, my father actually caught me a horse when we were here.
00:39:32I think your father taught him how.
00:39:36That does sound like very standard ranch activity.
00:39:39Yes.
00:39:40Ranch 101.
00:39:45I believe we sat right here under these stars as he carved and told me stories.
00:39:56He told me all about the constellations, too, but I can't remember any of them.
00:40:08Well, you see that?
00:40:10Right there.
00:40:11Mm-hmm.
00:40:12That is Pegasus.
00:40:14Zeus' winged steed and the only being able to reach the heavens.
00:40:19It's why people say that Pegasus is the symbol of the soul and its everlasting presence.
00:40:27I wonder if that's why horses are just so magical to be around.
00:40:31And they remind us of the connection of the souls that have moved on, but also they never really leave
00:40:36us, you know?
00:40:52I've forgotten how beautiful it is.
00:40:56I will admit, it is stunning.
00:41:01Thank you again for staying.
00:41:03Please.
00:41:04I didn't bring my cowboy boots for nothing.
00:41:06You bring those everywhere.
00:41:07They make me five foot nine.
00:41:10Besides, I didn't want to miss the sparks flying between you and Huntley.
00:41:14That is not why I decided to stay.
00:41:16Mm-hmm.
00:41:17At least it's not the only reason.
00:41:19So you admit it is a reason.
00:41:23It might be.
00:41:29I haven't let myself get this close to someone in a long time.
00:41:34It's scary.
00:41:36But this is what you needed to explore, right?
00:41:40Following your heart with no schedule, no royal pressures.
00:41:43Speaking of, have you told him that you're a princess yet?
00:41:47No, not yet.
00:41:49Why not?
00:41:51It feels like an added complication.
00:41:54Maybe yes.
00:41:55Maybe no.
00:41:57Could be a dream come true.
00:42:00Gabriel, just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I'm guaranteed a happily ever foster.
00:42:04I don't know what to do with that.
00:42:07Guarantee is such a strong word.
00:42:17how's it looking looks great perfectly centered how's the hatred coming it's great we're getting
00:42:27there wonderful looking good sammy like it i love it precisely as i pictured oh my silver bells

00:53:03really crazy part um she's a princess oh i wouldn't call her a princess she's really rolled up her sleeves

00:53:37really good together oh come on pop she's a princess i'm a washed up ball player
00:53:45you're more than that your career doesn't define you your character does you just got the stuffing
00:53:50kicked out of your son maybe you should get back up on the horse and go after the things you
00:53:56want
00:53:59yes well speaking of horses i should probably feed them oh yeah that's broken
00:54:09horse metaphor really it's all i got yeah
00:54:15i missed you at breakfast i was still drying off oh it looks spectacular in here
00:54:24and i love what you did with a tree thank you for putting the lights on it
00:54:28morning princess you told her i told him you told him she told me
00:54:38and how do you like the tree i gotta admit it looks pretty good for a balsam
00:54:44and the haystack tree looks great too honestly i love all your ideas thank you
00:54:50i remembered the the hay from the first holiday dance i went to and i wanted to find a fun
00:54:54way to
00:54:55incorporate it you know the the wooden horse that my father gave me sure well when i was at the
00:55:02dance my father hit it and when i found it i thought it was magic so it was the best
00:55:09christmas
00:55:09present i've ever received well hopefully the kids that come to the dance have the same fond memories
00:55:13that you do what if we hide toys for the kids in a haystack yeah it's a great idea
00:55:24listen um we kind of got interrupted last night so i was wondering if you would accompany me to the
00:55:31festival lights tomorrow night are you asking me on a date oh yes i am unless of course there's some
00:55:36kind of princess protocol i don't really know anything about do i have to ask the queen how does this
00:55:40work
00:55:41well technically my mother is a grand duchess think she approve no but what matters is that it's my
00:55:51decision and i would love to be your date well i guess we have a genuine rendezvous then i guess
00:55:59we do
00:56:14you know i have to admit i was stunned when nadie told me that we've had royalty among us
00:56:20i take that as a compliment
00:56:23i mean i was only the homecoming queen and i found even that to be stressful
00:56:29did hundley ever tell you that he was homecoming king he did not but tell me what exactly is a
00:56:35homecoming king and queen oh it's this old high school tradition people get to vote on who they
00:56:40think should be king and queen somebody who's kind and energetic and basically someone that represents
00:56:46the values of the community and it's kind of silly but still it's an honor and it's really fun
00:56:52anyway ever since i found out who you are i have been dying to tell you that huntley was a
00:56:57homecoming
00:56:57king i'm sure he was quite a handsome king he was but you know i think he's actually more handsome
00:57:08now
00:57:22hey hey what's going on what are you doing nothing yeah nothing really what's uh what's up are you practicing
00:57:28your dance moves no
00:57:30Uh, yeah.
00:57:33Yeah, I was.
00:57:34Well, you're looking good.
00:57:36Thanks.
00:57:38You know, Shelby taught me the dance,
00:57:40but I'm having trouble remembering the last bit.
00:57:42Would you mind showing me?
00:57:43What do you mean, a little stomp, kick, swing thingy?
00:57:47Is that the official term?
00:57:48I'm pretty sure that is the official term.
00:57:50I don't really think I'm the one to show you this dance.
00:57:52Oh, nonsense.
00:57:53Please, show me the moves.
00:57:55All right, well, as I stated...
00:58:00Stomp, kick, swing.
00:58:02Then you're pointed that way, and it's...
00:58:04That direction.
00:58:05That direction, if you can, hopefully.
00:58:06So, let's see it.
00:58:09You got this.
00:58:12All right.
00:58:13Chart into it.
00:58:15Stomp, kick, and ta-da.
00:58:19Nailed it.
00:58:21Thank you for allowing us to have the dance.
00:58:24I'm really looking forward to it.
00:58:25It's one of my favorite memories from my time here with my father.
00:58:28I can remember like it was yesterday.
00:58:30Just dancing with him in front of the giant Christmas tree while the band played.
00:58:33That sounds like a pretty great memory.
00:58:35Hmm.
00:58:36It is.
00:58:40All right.
00:58:41I am off.
00:58:42Oh, off.
00:58:43Where to now?
00:58:43Just some chores.
00:58:45Some chores?
00:58:45Mm-hmm.
00:58:46Really?
00:58:46All right.
00:58:48Have fun, cowgirl.
00:58:50I intend to.
00:59:16Hey.
00:59:19What are you doing there?
00:59:20Just a little cowgirl work.
00:59:22Really?
00:59:23I figured out why Charlie's bucket kept falling off.
00:59:26The hook for the bucket was too small, so I have attached a locking latch.
00:59:33Voila.
00:59:34I can't stop Charlie from being cheeky, but at least the water bucket will stay put.
00:59:40And you just did all this yourself?
00:59:42I did.
00:59:43Oh.
00:59:44Really finding your footing here.
00:59:46Hi, Anne.
00:59:57Here you go, kiddo.
00:59:59You're welcome.
01:00:00That's so fun.
01:00:02Hey, you too.
01:00:03Hi, Victoria.
01:00:04Have fun tonight.
01:00:05Thanks.
01:00:08Evening.
01:00:12Good evening.
01:00:15You look great.
01:00:16Well, you clean up nicely, too.
01:00:20Shall we?
01:00:28Thanks for coming with me tonight.
01:00:30It wasn't easy, yeah.
01:00:31This is one of the best Christmases I've had in a long time.
01:00:36Yeah, me too.
01:00:38Hmm.
01:00:43Your parents are adorable.
01:00:45Yeah.
01:00:46Been together forever.
01:00:48Had the ranch almost as long.
01:00:50Wow.
01:00:52Yeah, they make a good team.
01:00:54Hmm.
01:00:56But they are slowing down a bit.
01:00:58The guy wants to take my mom to see the world before they slow down too much.
01:01:02Hmm.
01:01:04Love like theirs is a rare gift.
01:01:06Hmm.
01:01:09Now, speaking of gifts, I have a surprise for you.
01:01:14For me?
01:01:14Yeah.
01:01:15Well, you inspired me.
01:01:20Come on.
01:01:26It's a starry sky.
01:01:28Like the other night?
01:01:29Yeah.
01:01:30Right.
01:01:30Like the one with your father?
01:01:35Hope it's not too much.
01:01:39It's perfect.
01:01:44Victoria.
01:01:47What if we were on the same team?
01:01:52What are you talking about?
01:01:53Of course we're on the same team.
01:01:54We were filling the dots together.
01:01:56No, no.
01:01:56You know what I mean.
01:02:01Look, I understand how impractical this is.
01:02:04I looked up your country.
01:02:05The street is very, very far away.
01:02:11What if we tried?
01:02:16Let me.
01:02:17No, listen to me.
01:02:18There is something here.
01:02:20And I know you feel it too.
01:02:25I don't want to lose this.
01:02:30Neither do I.
01:02:34But I just need to think about it.
01:02:38Yeah, no.
01:02:39Of course.
01:02:42Of course.
01:02:45Take as much time as you need.
01:02:52Come on.
01:03:07Good morning.
01:03:08Good morning.
01:03:09Would you like some help?
01:03:10Yes, of course.
01:03:12Did you have fun last night?
01:03:14It was perfect.
01:03:15I am just so happy that you're having a wonderful time here.
01:03:19I mean, it's the whole reason we started this ranch.
01:03:21To give people memories that would last a lifetime.
01:03:25That is a lot of cards.
01:03:29Oh, yeah.
01:03:29Well, speaking of memories.
01:03:31I mean, I started off as a wall of cards from, you know, a few guests thanking us for having
01:03:37a wonderful time on the ranch.
01:03:38And then it sort of became a tradition.
01:03:41And, well, I love it.
01:03:42I mean, every year when I put the cards up, I'm reminded of how much fun we've had.
01:03:48It reminds me.
01:03:50Reminds me.
01:03:51Ah, here it is.
01:03:55I think you're going to like this one.
01:03:57Mm-hmm.
01:04:05Jimmy and Nadine, thank you for your generous hospitality.
01:04:09The time I spent with my daughter has created memories that I will truly treasure for the rest of my
01:04:13life.
01:04:16You have given me a priceless Christmas gift.
01:04:22The gift of time with someone that I love.
01:04:26Grab me on your debt, Olivier.
01:04:34Thank you, Nadine.
01:04:36Of course.
01:04:37I thought you might want to keep that.
01:04:41Okay.
01:04:42So, let's get these decorations to the barn.
01:04:45I've got a dance to throw.
01:04:51Hey, Victoria.
01:04:52Hey, Sam.
01:04:53We need enough presents for all of the kids.
01:04:56Oh, splendid.
01:04:57What do you think of this for the tree topper?
01:04:59Maybe a little more to your left.
01:05:02Victoria.
01:05:04This place looks amazing.
01:05:05It's really coming together.
01:05:07So, I picked up the catering china and the candles you asked for.
01:05:10But, also, I wanted to offer up another option for the top of the tree.
01:05:15Hmm.
01:05:19Did you make this?
01:05:20Yeah.
01:05:23I love it.
01:05:27Sam, what do you think about this, the treetop?
01:05:30It's so pretty.
01:05:31Yes.
01:05:34Gabriel, we have a new tree topper.
01:05:36Oh, thank goodness.
01:05:37This bow is never going to work.
01:05:43So, I know we left things unresolved last night, and while I still need to think about
01:05:48things, I don't want to waste a moment that I could be enjoying with you, worrying about
01:05:54the future.
01:05:55So, would you go to the dance with me?
01:05:59Are you asking me out on a date?
01:06:02Absolutely.
01:06:02Oh, very Sadie Hawkins of you.
01:06:05Who?
01:06:06Yeah, no, I'd love to.
01:06:09Pick your break.
01:06:19Who is it?
01:06:19Uh, by royal decree, all maidens are asked to attend the holiday dance.
01:06:25I'm sorry, are you laughing at me right now?
01:06:30Absolutely.
01:06:33Wow.
01:06:37You look beautiful.
01:06:39You look quite handsome yourself.
01:06:46Yeah.
01:06:52Here we go.
01:06:54Here we go.
01:06:56Take me to the road.
01:07:00Here we go.
01:07:01Here we go.
01:07:04Here we go.
01:07:12Ready for it?
01:07:14Woo!
01:07:17You can't really help that.
01:07:19No, no, I think you were probably maybe a step behind.
01:07:23Maybe a little.
01:07:23Just a little bit.
01:07:28Well, I'm going to go gather the kids for the gift finding in the hay bales.
01:07:32Yeah, of course.
01:07:35I've never seen this place so alive.
01:07:37Oh, and looking so festive.
01:07:39Yeah, I know.
01:07:39Yeah.
01:07:41Look, I am so sorry that I soured this for everyone for so long.
01:07:45And thank you, guys.
01:07:47Thank you for bringing me back here.
01:07:51All right, children.
01:07:53When I say go, you're going to start looking for a special surprise in the hay.
01:07:58Now, there's one surprise for each of you, so look for the one with your name on it.
01:08:02Okay?
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Ready?
01:08:05Steady?
01:08:06Go!
01:08:07Where is it?
01:08:12Oh, did you find it, too, girl?
01:08:16Oh.
01:08:17Oh.
01:08:21Thank you so much.
01:08:23Best Christmas ever.
01:08:25You're very welcome.
01:08:26Thanks.
01:08:27I want to introduce you, but I don't know where...
01:08:30Ah!
01:08:30There he is.
01:08:31There he is.
01:08:32Huntley, this dance is amazing.
01:08:35I want to introduce you to Peter.
01:08:36He's one of the volunteer firefighters.
01:08:38Great to meet you.
01:08:39Thank you for everything you do for our community, really.
01:08:41Nice to meet you, too.
01:08:43Thank you so much for putting this on for us.
01:08:45It really helps us out.
01:08:47But that lady right there, that is the one you should be thanking.
01:08:51She is the mastermind behind all of this.
01:08:53It's true.
01:08:54Oh, well, I'll be sure to thank her.
01:08:57Have a Merry Christmas.

01:09:44No.

01:09:48Pretty much every Christmas wish I've ever had was granted tonight.
01:09:53But what?
01:09:56So Shelby told me that you were homecoming king.
01:10:00Oh, so embarrassing.
01:10:02Why didn't you tell me you were also part of a royal family?
01:10:05No, no.
01:10:05I never really understood all that homecoming stuff.
01:10:09No.
01:10:10I never did a reservation.
01:10:12As you bask in the glow of the season.
01:10:19Bask in the glow of the season.

01:14:14Merry Christmas, Huntley.

01:14:46If you're a happy song in the valley.

01:14:56I don't know.
01:14:59Do you wanna say goodbye?

01:15:06I'm not sure I want goodbye to be our last memory.

01:15:37Doria!
01:15:45She's gone, son.
01:15:50She forgot this.
01:16:05She's gone, son.
01:16:08I will stand aside and you will give the opening remarks and light the candle.
01:16:12I thought you prepared my own speech.
01:16:14Huh.
01:16:16Being away has given you a newfound confidence.
01:16:20Thank you for allowing me the time to attend the ranch.
01:16:23You would do the same for me.
01:16:27Oh.
01:16:27Well, let's move this to the other side.
01:16:43Is everything all right?
01:17:13Hmm.
01:17:15To you in confidence, the cowboy's name is Huntley.
01:17:21Hmm?
01:17:22He's the proprietor's son.
01:17:24Oh.
01:17:25I see.
01:17:26And, uh, will he be visiting any time soon?
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:31Oh.
01:17:31No, no.
01:17:32Ah.
01:17:33I'm so busy here with my duties and he is now taking over the ranch, so...
01:17:38Oh.
01:17:40I've missed you both dearly.
01:17:43Victoria, I can see that being away has been good for you.
01:17:46Forgive the interruption.
01:17:48The guests have arrived.
01:17:52Hello.
01:17:53Welcome.
01:17:58Merry Christmas, everyone.
01:18:01It is an honour to be back for the final lighting, and for what I consider to be the most
01:18:08important
01:18:08advent candle, the one that represents love.
01:18:21If you'll excuse me, I...
01:18:25I had a speech prepared, but...
01:18:27I'd like to speak from the heart.
01:18:33At this time of year, we're surrounded by Christmas cheer and love.
01:18:37Love that takes many forms, old and new.
01:18:44Love of the family.
01:18:46Love of community.
01:18:49And even love that...
01:18:53stands the test of time.
01:18:55It has...
01:18:56resilience.
01:18:58But I think the love that fills us the most...
01:19:03is the love that...
01:19:06you never expect.
01:19:09The love that surprises us.
01:19:15My wish, my one Christmas wish,
01:19:18is that everyone could experience that kind of love.
01:19:42Oh, Christmas, I know you're hungry.
01:19:45Are you still making that same mistake?
01:19:47The name's Charlie.
01:19:52Hi.
01:19:54Hi.
01:19:58You're back.
01:19:59Well, I heard you were a popular Christmas destination.
01:20:05That's true.
01:20:07You know, one time we had a real live princess stay here.
01:20:10Really?
01:20:12Brought back the holiday dance, too.
01:20:14A maverick.
01:20:16Yeah.
01:20:17She even insisted in cutting down a balsam fir.
01:20:21Sounds a bit presumptuous.
01:20:22It was a little bit, yeah.
01:20:24But, um, in her defense, it was the perfect tree.
01:20:28Well, she sounds like the most amazing person ever.
01:20:33She was.
01:20:35I was devastated when she left.
01:20:38Well, I'm sure she felt the same way, too.
01:20:41What are you doing here?
01:20:43Well, I realized I forgot my wooden tree topper.
01:20:46No.
01:20:49But more importantly,
01:20:52I realized that I was running from the one thing I want most.
01:20:59What, are you giving up your title, or...?
01:21:02Not exactly.
01:21:03As it happens, there is someone better suited for the role.
01:21:07My sister.
01:21:13So you're staying.
01:21:14Well, I'd like to.
01:21:17For the first time in as long as I can remember,
01:21:21I know who I am and what I want.
01:21:23And what I want is to be here with you.
01:21:27As a team.
01:21:34As a team.
01:21:41As a team.
01:21:42As a team.
01:21:54As a team.
01:21:57As a team.
01:21:58As a team.
01:21:58As a team.
01:21:58As a team.
01:21:59As a team.
01:21:59As a team.
01:21:59As a team.
01:22:00As a team.
01:22:00As a team.
01:22:00As a team.
01:22:01As a team.
01:22:03Oh, I will not just think.
01:22:05Merry Christmas, everyone.
01:22:07Merry Christmas.
01:22:09Merry Christmas.
01:22:11It's about time.
01:22:12Huntley, this is my family.
01:22:14Uh, hello, your royalness is.
01:22:16Merry Christmas.
01:22:18Pleasure to meet you, Huntley.
01:22:19Well, it's great to meet you both.
01:22:20And Emma, congrats on taking the reins.
01:22:23I'm ecstatic.
01:22:24Darling.
01:22:25And I'm guessing you two knew about this, hmm?
01:22:28Um, maybe.
01:22:29If the horseshoe fits.
01:22:31That's the right thought.
01:22:33Well, you must be so hungry.
01:22:35Oh, I'm famished.
01:22:36Well, let's eat.
01:22:37Right this way.
01:22:40Now, I hope you're ready for some cackleberries, overland trout, and hot rocks.
01:22:44What in the world is that?
01:22:46Eggs, bacon, and biscuits.
01:22:47That sounds love.
01:22:48Is there any cream for the coffee?
01:22:50Oh, yeah, the cow's outside.
01:22:52Oh, no, I'm one of them.
01:22:53He's joking.
01:22:58Who would have thought?
01:22:59The Christmas crusher would become my Christmas crush.
01:23:02Are you saying you have a crush on me?
01:23:04Maybe a little bit.
01:23:08Merry Christmas, princess.
01:23:10Merry Christmas, cowboy.
01:23:11Merry Christmas, cowboy.
01:23:15Merry Christmas, cowboy.
01:23:22Merry Christmas, eyereombek!
01:23:25Merry Christmas, cowboy.
