00:00:20Lovely ride today, darling.
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, the partridge getting stuck in the pear tree.
00:00:45I-I 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, he's 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.
00:01:04I 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.
00:01:58Wrong spirit.
00:02:06I present to you, Her Royal Highness, Princess Victoria of Zularney.
00:02:13Thank you, all.
00:02:16Thank you for coming.
00:02:17Please stick to the script this time.
00:02:21I'm so sorry I'm late.
00:02:23So sorry.
00:02:23Thank you for your waiting.
00:02:27Sorry.
00:02:28Welcome to Zalonia Palace.
00:02:32It is my honour to be your host tonight,
00:02:36alongside my mother and my younger sister.
00:02:40Thank you for joining our Advent lighting.
00:02:45As you may know,
00:02:46the four candles up on the Advent wreath
00:02:51represent hope, joy, peace, and love.
00:02:58They're all out of water.
00:03:01Tonight, uh...
00:03:02So today,
00:03:03uh, today,
00:03:04we will be lighting the first candle
00:03:07to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season.
00:03:12Uh...
00:03:13Uh...
00:03:14Mm.
00:03:15Mm.
00:03:17May we all experience the hope
00:03:19that the holiday brings
00:03:20to all of our hearts
00:03:22in Zalonia.
00:03:23Hmm.
00:03:25Left.
00:03:33I'll just lend you another one.
00:03:37Ah!
00:03:49It's terrible.
00:03:51Don't worry.
00:03:52Oh, that's absolutely the worst thing I've ever done.
00:03:54Such a lovely annual event,
00:03:57and, um...
00:03:58Uh...
00:03:59You did very well, Victoria.
00:04:02Oh, did I, Mother?
00:04:04Well,
00:04:05we can't always be perfect, my love,
00:04:07but we must try.
00:04:09It is our duty
00:04:10to uphold the royal standard.
00:04:13The Valentino is hanging in your room
00:04:16for the next event?
00:04:17Please tell me
00:04:18you're referring to Valentino Pajamas.
00:04:20I'm afraid not,
00:04:21but feel free to sign
00:04:23the official royal Christmas cards
00:04:24in your PJs later tonight.
00:04:28Thank you, darling.
00:04:33Oh, did she do her own hair?
00:04:35Mother.
00:04:37Oh, don't worry.
00:04:37I got you.
00:04:38I got you.
00:04:54To my wild and bright daughter,
00:04:57your light illuminates
00:04:59all of my dark skies.
00:05:00Merry Christmas.
00:05:02Love, Papa.
00:05:28What's her name?
00:05:29I hear it's Christmas
00:05:31born on the actual day.
00:05:34Well, Christmas,
00:05:35I'm sure you're
00:05:36the perfect Christmas present.
00:05:53That was a lovely evening.
00:05:55Did you see the way
00:05:57that Prince Reginald
00:05:58was looking at you?
00:05:59Prince who?
00:06:00Prince Reginald.
00:06:01Tall, dark, handsome.
00:06:03You've literally described
00:06:04every prince in every fairy tale.
00:06:06Anyway,
00:06:07he couldn't keep his eyes off you.
00:06:09Honestly,
00:06:09I didn't even notice.
00:06:11Besides,
00:06:11I better have time to breathe
00:06:12and let alone date.
00:06:14Mother,
00:06:15I'm not done.
00:06:16This one looked ready.
00:06:18Speaking of time to breathe...
00:06:20Oh,
00:06:20I already requested
00:06:21additional time
00:06:22for future gown fittings.
00:06:23Thank you, Gabriel.
00:06:24That is very helpful
00:06:25and definitely necessary,
00:06:26but that is not what I had in mind.
00:06:28I have an idea.
00:06:29You do love a good idea,
00:06:30but before that,
00:06:32do we all have five minutes
00:06:33for the ghost of Christmas future?
00:06:35Is that the ghost
00:06:36who tells me
00:06:36about all the delicious things
00:06:37I get to you tomorrow?
00:06:39Unfortunately not.
00:06:39Excuse me.
00:06:41These
00:06:42are your
00:06:44holiday events
00:06:45for this week.
00:06:46That was horrible,
00:06:48horrible, Gabriel.
00:06:50Have you no shame?
00:06:52No.
00:06:53Gabriel,
00:06:53this list
00:06:54is never ending.
00:06:57Mother,
00:06:59I have been working
00:07:00very hard
00:07:00so that I'm ready
00:07:01to take over
00:07:01your duties
00:07:02come January,
00:07:03but
00:07:05something doesn't feel right.
00:07:07Your duties
00:07:08are expansive
00:07:09because you need
00:07:10to get a taste
00:07:11of what it will be like
00:07:12when I ease up
00:07:13on my responsibilities.
00:07:15I have joyfully
00:07:16fulfilled these duties
00:07:18for decades,
00:07:19but it's time
00:07:20for me to slow down
00:07:21and you
00:07:22are next in line.
00:07:24But what if
00:07:25I don't want to do things
00:07:26the way they've
00:07:26always been done?
00:07:28I want to try
00:07:29something different
00:07:30and incorporate
00:07:31my ideas
00:07:32and really connect
00:07:33with people.
00:07:34When I first
00:07:35married your father,
00:07:36I was thrust
00:07:36into a royal existence
00:07:38with many expectations.
00:07:40But maybe that's
00:07:41the difference
00:07:42between you and I.
00:07:43You married
00:07:44into this.
00:07:45I was born into it.
00:07:46I've never had
00:07:47the freedom
00:07:48to choose anything.
00:07:50What if I want
00:07:51to have a choice now?
00:07:53Are you saying
00:07:54you don't want
00:07:54to be Grand Duchess?
00:07:56I've always known
00:07:57that that is the role
00:07:58I'm going to step into
00:07:59and I'm very keen to.
00:08:00It's just that
00:08:02as that is becoming
00:08:03more of a reality
00:08:04and January
00:08:05is very fast approaching,
00:08:07I have so many questions.
00:08:09Questions that I...
00:08:09I need to find answers for.
00:08:12And Gabriel says
00:08:14my next window
00:08:14to think is
00:08:15in 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
00:08:23it all the way through yet,
00:08:24but I have an idea.
00:08:27Yes?
00:08:28I'd like to return
00:08:29to the dude ranch
00:08:29that Father and I
00:08:30attended when I was a girl.
00:08:31I can't think
00:08:32of a better place
00:08:33to get clarity.
00:08:35I can see
00:08:36how important
00:08:37this is to you.
00:08:38So if you can be back
00:08:40by December 19th
00:08:41for the lighting
00:08:42of the third
00:08:42advent wreath candle,
00:08:44you may go.
00:08:46Of course,
00:08:46of course I will be.
00:08:47I will.
00:08:47I promise I will be back
00:08:48by the 19th.
00:08:49I can fill in
00:08:50while you're home.
00:08:52Then we should talk.
00:08:54And Gabriel,
00:08:54you are to accompany her.
00:08:56Me?
00:08:57Yes, you.
00:08:58As an American,
00:08:58you can help Victoria
00:09:00navigate the country culture.
00:09:02I'm from New York.
00:09:03Will they have
00:09:04ranches in New York?
00:09:05Madam,
00:09:06the only ranch
00:09:06I'm acquainted with
00:09:07is ranch dressing.
00:09:09Mother.
00:09:12Thank you so much.
00:09:14I promise
00:09:15you'll be back
00:09:15by the 19th.
00:09:16I truly hope you find
00:09:17what you are looking for.
00:09:20Sweet love.
00:09:32Well, I'm glad
00:09:33we finally made it here.
00:09:37Oh, come on!
00:09:44Nice parking!
00:09:45Oh, thank you.
00:09:46And you said
00:09:47I 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
00:10:00over my Christmas decorations.
00:10:03Look, I'm not sure
00:10:04where you're from,
00:10:05but around here
00:10:06we tend to look
00:10:06where we're going
00:10:07when we're driving.
00:10:07I'm from Zalarnia,
00:10:09where we drive
00:10:09carefully and consciously.
00:10:10Okay, well,
00:10:11in Zalarnia,
00:10:12do you drive on the left
00:10:13or the right side of the road?
00:10:14The right side?
00:10:16Figuratively,
00:10:16not literally.
00:10:18Pedestrians
00:10:19are never at fault.
00:10:20Look at that.
00:10:24I'm very sorry.
00:10:26Although,
00:10:27it is kind of ironic,
00:10:28isn't it?
00:10:29Yeah, how's that?
00:10:30The irony
00:10:31that the nutcrackers
00:10:32crushed.
00:10:33Because nutcrackers
00:10:34crush things.
00:10:35You know,
00:10:36they crush things
00:10:36with their mouths.
00:10:40I'm very sorry,
00:10:41and I'm more than happy
00:10:42to pay for anything
00:10:43that I broke.
00:10:44No, it's fine.
00:10:45I got more of them.
00:10:47If you'll excuse us,
00:10:49we have acquired
00:10:50our caffeinated beverages
00:10:51and we'll now be
00:10:52on our way.
00:10:55Well, I'm very sorry.
00:10:56And it won't happen again.
00:10:58Yeah.
00:11:06Seriously?
00:11:08Sorry.
00:11:09Extra sorry this time.
00:11:12It's fine.
00:11:14It's fine.
00:11:17It's fine.
00:11:29We're finally here.
00:11:38It's fine.
00:11:39It's exactly
00:11:39as I remember it.
00:11:41I will go out
00:11:42and get the rest of them.
00:11:44With all that stuff,
00:11:45how long are you staying?
00:11:48You must be
00:11:49Victoria Thiessen.
00:11:51You're our last guest
00:11:52to arrive
00:11:53for the holiday season?
00:11:55That I am.
00:11:56And my friend Gabriel
00:11:58has the other room.
00:12:05Jimmy Blaylock,
00:12:06long-time owner.
00:12:07We have one safety rule here.
00:12:08Don't squat
00:12:09with your spurs on.
00:12:11We'll try not to.
00:12:12Dude ranch jokes.
00:12:13I'm full of them.
00:12:15So, Zalarnia,
00:12:16you folks have come
00:12:17a long way.
00:12:18How'd you hear about us?
00:12:19Well, I was here years ago
00:12:20on 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
00:12:28and more.
00:12:29Oh, welcome to
00:12:30Peaceful Pines,
00:12:31Lady Blaylock.
00:12:32Victoria,
00:12:33I'm so happy to be here.
00:12:34She's not only
00:12:35my wonderful wife,
00:12:36she's also
00:12:37a superb ranch manager.
00:12:39Oh, honey,
00:12:40which means
00:12:41I'm the glue
00:12:42that holds this place together.
00:12:43She's the glue
00:12:44that holds this place together.
00:12:45Yeah, I just said that, honey.
00:12:47Speaking of,
00:12:49here is a list
00:12:50of ranch activities
00:12:51that we'd love you
00:12:52to participate in
00:12:53while you're here,
00:12:53if you like.
00:12:55There's also some
00:12:56Christmas events
00:12:56during your time.
00:12:58My personal favorite
00:12:59is the Festival of Lights
00:13:00on the 18th.
00:13:01Well, that sounds lovely.
00:13:02That wasn't here last time.
00:13:04When is the holiday dance?
00:13:06Unfortunately,
00:13:06we haven't done that
00:13:08in a number of years.
00:13:09Oh, what a shame.
00:13:11I have such vivid memories
00:13:12of attending at my father.
00:13:14Oh, well,
00:13:14it was a lovely
00:13:15Christmas tradition
00:13:16and now we have new ones.
00:13:18Why don't you head on
00:13:19over to the barn
00:13:20for Christmas games?
00:13:21It's a really fun way
00:13:22to break brittle
00:13:23with the others.
00:13:24We have you
00:13:24in a small cabin
00:13:25right beside the barn
00:13:26and a great room
00:13:27for you upstairs.
00:13:29We'll have the porter
00:13:30bring your bags
00:13:31over to your rooms.
00:13:32Perfect.
00:13:34Lovely.
00:13:37There's a porter.
00:13:43My cabin is adorable.
00:13:46How's your room?
00:13:47Rustic.
00:13:48Have you actually
00:13:48read this list?
00:13:49I skimmed it.
00:13:51Because some of these words
00:13:51seem really intense.
00:13:53It's very relaxed here,
00:13:54Gabriel.
00:13:55I had nothing but fun
00:13:56the last time I was here
00:13:57and I have no reason
00:13:58to believe it would be
00:13:58any different this time.
00:13:59If you say so.
00:14:02After you,
00:14:02your highness.
00:14:03Can you hang it
00:14:04on a tree?
00:14:05No.
00:14:07Can I eat it?
00:14:08Yes.
00:14:10Is it a dessert?
00:14:11Yes.
00:14:12Could I find it
00:14:13at the North Pole?
00:14:15Maybe.
00:14:17That's not helping us.
00:14:19I can eat it.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:21But you'd have to
00:14:21catch it first,
00:14:22which is doubtful.
00:14:24Is it a gingerbread man?
00:14:26Yes.
00:14:26You guessed it.
00:14:28Hi.
00:14:28You must be
00:14:29the new guest.
00:14:30I'm Shelby.
00:14:31I have some
00:14:32homemade nog
00:14:33with 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 rooms.
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.
00:14:47Get her in.
00:14:47Uh, thank you.
00:14:50You're never
00:14:51going to get this one.
00:14:52All right.
00:14:52Can I give it
00:14:53as a present?
00:14:54Yeah.
00:14:56Maybe?
00:14:56Maybe, yeah.
00:14:57Oh, okay.
00:14:59Uh, am I
00:15:00from a Christmas story?
00:15:01Yes.
00:15:02Okay.
00:15:02Uh, am I a character
00:15:04from a Christmas story?
00:15:05Yes.
00:15:06Am I Santa Claus?
00:15:08Santa's not a character
00:15:09of a story.
00:15:10Santa's real.
00:15:11You're absolutely right.
00:15:13Uh, I am a character
00:15:16from a story
00:15:16and I can sometimes
00:15:17be a present.
00:15:20Am I a nutcracker?
00:15:22Yes!
00:15:23Yes!
00:15:23Yes!
00:15:24Yes!
00:15:24I am a nutcracker!
00:15:26Well, isn't that ironic?
00:15:30It's you.
00:15:31Miss Zalarnia, right?
00:15:34You two know each other?
00:15:35Oh, yeah.
00:15:36She crushed
00:15:37my Christmas decorations.
00:15:37It was an accident.
00:15:39It was twice.
00:15:40Accidentally twice.
00:15:45Oh, I just want to let you know
00:15:46that your bags
00:15:47are up in your room.

00:16:10Huntley.
00:16:13Huntley.
00:16:31Oh, poor 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 Nanny's son. I 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 me the
00:17:28reins.
00:17:30What about you brings you all the way from Europe to Montana?
00:17:34Well, 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?
00:18:14Oh, 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 Zalaria.
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.
00:19:01Even though I had a late night.
00:19:03I was sidetracked by Huntley in the barn.
00:19:05Oh?
00:19:06Not like that.
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.
00:19:27You were staying in front of a bull or behind a horse.
00:19:30You guys want coffee?
00:19:32Lovely.
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.
00:20:04What?
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?
00:20:15Well, 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.
00:20:28One 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.

00:26:23Or the pool
00:26:24Yeah

00:27:11I almost broke myself
00:27:14I'm excited to see a light walk
00:27:16Back home our Christmas market
00:27:18Has an enormous candle carousel
00:27:20It's lit every evening
00:27:22And the flames cause it to turn slowly
00:27:24Sounds 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
00:27:38What's this year's theme?

00:27:41That's top secret
00:27:44Alright well this year's theme is 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
00:28:01As we looked up at the night sky
00:28:04Stars twinkling
00:28:05And we sat around the fire
00:28:06Just drinking hot chocolate
00:28:09It's been a pretty special guy
00:28:11To bring you all this way
00:28:11For a father-daughter trip

00:28:20Thank you
00:28:26My mum says
00:28:27They don't like him but
00:28:30I'm not so sure anymore
00:28:32I used to keep my heart
00:28:34Open to everyone
00:28:36And everything
00:28:37But lately it's
00:28:39It's just been hard
00:28:42Yeah let me help you with it
00:28:45Well
00:28:47Being here seems to be
00:28:49Getting you back to that
00:28:49Don'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

00:29:23Got 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
00:29:32Pretty unbelievable
00:29:37Then at my first training camp
00:29:38I blew out my shoulder
00:29:41Shredded my rotator cuff
00:29:43That was pretty much it
00:29:45Ever since then
00:29:46I've just been bouncing
00:29:46From team to team
00:29:47In the minors

00:31:23Hey
00:31:24Shelby how you been?
00:31:26Overall really good
00:31:27It's been a little bit of a tougher week though
00:31:29Our fundraising efforts for the volunteer firefighters
00:31:32Are 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
00:31:53I 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
00:32:03Oh um
00:32:04Well why not it was so much fun
00:32:06Yeah it's just you know organizing a dance
00:32:08With this short amount of time it's a lot of work
00:32:10My responsibilities here at the ranch
00:32:12I 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
00:32:22Just a few bits and bobs
00:32:23And you could get live music and drinks and food
00:32:27Yeah I don't know I mean it's a lot of work
00:32:29I would love to help
00:32:30And plus I can handle this 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
00:32:37You know
00:32:37Honey
00:32:38Just leave it with me for a minute okay
00:32:42Absolutely
00:32:43Thank you
00:32:45Excuse me
00:32:50Thank 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
00:33:18You look after this place
00:33:20It'll look after you son
00:33:22Yeah I get it
00:33:23Not real subtle pop
00:33:25Well nobody's ever accused me of that before
00:33:27Yeah
00:33:30You know uh
00:33:32Shelby asked if we could host a fundraiser
00:33:34For the volunteer firefighters in the barn
00:33:38Maybe bring back the holiday dance
00:33:39That's a great idea
00:33:40I'm still thinking about it
00:33:43Your mother and I would love that
00:33:47You know
00:33:47For 38 years
00:33:49All 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
00:34:04Bringing 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
00:34:29Ended up going another
00:34:30That is not failing
00:34:33The only failure
00:34:35Is failure to try
00:34:38Look
00:34:41I just want you happy
00:34:44I won't deny
00:34:45I want you back here at the ranch
00:34:47More than anything
00:34:49But the only way I want that
00:34:50Is if that's what you want
00:34:53If it brings you joy
00:34:56Now to me
00:34:57It looks like it does
00:34:59But if I'm wrong
00:35:03I can accept that
00:35:05What I can't accept
00:35:06Is you living a life
00:35:08You'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
00:35:34But 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
00:35:41Mother will blow her crown
00:35:43Don't worry I will be
00:35:44So
00:35:46How's it going over there at the ranch?
00:35:48Any cute cowboys?
00:35:50There's definitely not a shortage of those
00:35:52Really?
00:35:53Do tell
00:35:54Do you have a minute?
00:35:55Sure
00:35:55Emma give me a second
00:35:56Everything all right?
00:35:59Victoria?
00:36:00Okay
00:36:01Let's do it
00:36:02The dance?
00:36:03Yeah
00:36:06I'm so glad you came around
00:36:07Okay we just have to figure out which night
00:36:08How about Thursday?
00:36:10No
00:36:10Festival 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
00:36:19Okay first things first
00:36:21Poinsettias and trinkle 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
00:36:39It's your mother
00:36:40Oh hello mother
00:36:41Hello darling
00:36:43What's this I hear about a dance?
00:36:46Let me explain
00:36:48So as you may have all heard
00:36:50I have committed the ranch
00:36:52To hosting the holiday dance
00:36:53To raise funds for volunteer firefighters
00:36:59It's very exciting
00:37:00So I could really use your help
00:37:04Well where do we start?
00:37:05Well for the party decor
00:37:07I thought that we could embrace classic Christmas
00:37:09While celebrating life here on the ranch
00:37:11Like we could turn old cowboy boots
00:37:15Into floral centerpieces like this
00:37:18That's beautiful
00:37:19I love those
00:37:20Thank you
00:37:21And we could make a Christmas tree out of hay bales
00:37:25Dress it up with Christmas lights
00:37:27And then put a 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
00:37:33Paint them white
00:37:33And turn them into snowmen
00:37:35That's adorable
00:37:36Thank you
00:37:38And of course
00:37:39At the barn entrance
00:37:40I thought we could build an archway of lights
00:37:43And take two large nutcrackers
00:37:44And 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
00:37:51Yes
00:37:51That's how we met
00:37:52Tom, do you remember?
00:37:55Do I?
00:37:56Let's make some Christmas magic
00:38:16Coco
00:38:17Thank you
00:38:21You know, you have a real gift
00:38:24For motivating people
00:38:25Oh
00:38:28It's nothing
00:38:30Just to make some creativity
00:38:32And passion
00:38:37Thank you for letting me last over you
00:38:39And holding the dance
00:38:40Oh, yeah
00:38:41You really saddled me
00:38:42That one
00:38:46How'd your family take it
00:38:47With you extending the trip?
00:38:50Well
00:38:50My mother was displeased
00:38:53But I promised that
00:38:55I'd be home
00:38:55For the fourth and final advent light
00:38:57This is family tradition
00:39:00So
00:39:00In the end
00:39:01She relented
00:39:03Good
00:39:05It's
00:39:06It's gonna be great
00:39:07I think so
00:39:08Yeah
00:39:13What are you working on?
00:39:15This
00:39:16Well, eventually
00:39:17I'm hoping it's gonna be a horse
00:39:21Eventually
00:39:21Eventually
00:39:22Maybe
00:39:28My father actually called me a horse
00:39:31When we were here
00:39:32I think your father taught him how
00:39:35Well
00:39:36That does sound like very standard ranch activity
00:39:38Yes
00:39:39Ranch 101
00:39:44I believe we sat right here
00:39:47Under these stars
00:39:48As he carved and
00:39:50Told me stories
00:39:56He told me all about the constellations too
00:39:59But
00:40:01I can't remember any of them
00:40:08Well, see that?
00:40:10Right there
00:40:12That is Pegasus
00:40:14Zeus' winged steed
00:40:16And the only being able to reach the heavens
00:40:19It's why people say that Pegasus
00:40:21Is the symbol of the soul
00:40:22And its everlasting presence
00:40:27I wonder if that's why horses
00:40:28Are just so magical to be around
00:40:31And they remind us of the connection
00:40:32To the souls that have moved on
00:40:34But
00:40:35Also, they never really leave us
00:40:52I've forgotten how beautiful it is
00:40:56I will admit
00:40:57It is stunning
00:41:01Thank you again for staying
00:41:03Please
00:41:04I didn't bring my cowboy boots for nothing
00:41:05You bring those everywhere
00:41:07They make me five foot nine
00:41:09Besides
00:41:11I didn't want to miss the sparks flying
00:41:13Between you and Huntley
00:41:14That is not why I decided to stay
00:41:16At least it's not the only reason
00:41:19So you admit it is a reason
00:41:23It might be
00:41:28I haven't let myself get this close to someone
00:41:31In a long time
00:41:34It's scary
00:41:36But this is what you needed to explore, right?
00:41:40Following your heart
00:41:41With no schedule
00:41:42No royal pressures
00:41:44Speaking of
00:41:44Have you told him that you're a princess yet?
00:41:47No, not yet
00:41:48Why not?
00:41:51It feels like an added complication
00:41:53Maybe yes
00:41:55Maybe no
00:41:57Could be a dream come true
00:42:00Gabriel, just because I'm a princess
00:42:01Doesn't mean I'm guaranteed a happily ever foster
00:42:07Guarantee is such a strong word
00:42:17How's it looking?
00:42:19Looks great
00:42:22Perfectly centered
00:42:24How's the hay tree coming?
00:42:26It's great
00:42:27We're getting there
00:42:27Wonderful
00:42:30Looking good, Sammy
00:42:32Like it
00:42:33Love it
00:42:37Precisely as I pictured
00:42:39Oh my silver bells
00:42:41It's really going along in here
00:42:43We're getting there
00:42:44We're getting there
00:42:45We never could have pulled this off
00:42:47If you hadn't stepped up
00:42:48It's nothing
00:42:49Honestly
00:42:50Thank you
00:42:52It's also really nice to see Huntley this happy
00:42:55I mean, I haven't seen him smile this much since
00:42:59Well, it's been a really long time
00:43:03You've brought him home
00:43:04In a real way
00:43:05Oh, well, he's done the same for me, too
00:43:09Huh
00:43:13Interesting
00:43:15Hey, Victoria
00:43:17Can I borrow you for a minute?
00:43:18Really need your help with something
00:43:19So I'm serious
00:43:20It is
00:43:21We need to cut down a tree for the dance
00:43:25Well, wouldn't it be simpler just to buy one?
00:43:27No, no
00:43:27You can't buck tradition
00:43:29Now?
00:43:30I have so much to do
00:43:31I can help
00:43:32I
00:43:32Oh, I wouldn't want to impose
00:43:34Oh, not at all
00:43:36Hot twist
00:43:36Oh, quiet you
00:43:39That popcorn is for the garland
00:43:40Thought it was a little bit stale
00:43:46All right, then
00:43:47Let's go
00:43:48So
00:43:49One stop to make one on the way
00:43:51Suspicious
00:43:57Things are getting interesting
00:43:58Very
00:44:01Thank you
00:44:03So, uh, you really didn't have to buy me this hat
00:44:06Although it is fabulous
00:44:08Everyone will definitely be jealous
00:44:09My pleasure
00:44:10It suits you
00:44:11So what do you say?
00:44:12Let's go cut this tree down, hmm?
00:44:14I'll have you know
00:44:14I am somewhat our Christmas tree expert
00:44:16Oh, really?
00:44:17Whenever I choose a holiday tree
00:44:19I select a balsam fir
00:44:20This fragrance is effervescent
00:44:22Nope
00:44:22Needles fall off in a week
00:44:24Blue spruce is the way to go
00:44:26You're joking
00:44:55You're joking
00:44:55No, you can't be serious
00:44:55I agree to disagree
00:44:58And I agree that you are wrong
00:44:59Cowboy
00:45:09It's breathtaking
00:45:11Yeah, no place like it
00:45:17You know, you're not the first person to come here looking for answers
00:45:19Huh?
00:45:20Yeah
00:45:21Surprised how many people find their way to us
00:45:24I can see why
00:45:26It's liberating being here
00:45:28Away from the demands of daily life
00:45:33Honey
00:45:34Why did it stop?
00:45:36The dance
00:45:42When I got scouted
00:45:44It was a couple weeks before the dance
00:45:45So they turned its big surprise celebration for me
00:45:50The whole town was there
00:45:51It was amazing
00:45:54Then I got hurt
00:45:55I let everybody down
00:45:57My parents couldn't do it the next year
00:45:59They were too busy helping me with my recovery
00:46:02Just embarrassing, you know
00:46:05And when they started talking about planning for the next year
00:46:07I just
00:46:08I don't know, I just lost it
00:46:10Took off on a long cattle drive
00:46:13Abandoned them
00:46:14The ranch
00:46:15I don't know how much that hurt them
00:46:20After that, they just kind of stopped doing it
00:46:24I really talked about it
00:46:25But I obviously can't help but feel like it's my fault
00:46:30I'm sorry
00:46:33Are you sure you're okay with doing the dance this year?
00:46:37Yeah
00:46:38Yeah
00:46:38Yeah, no, I feel more alive than I have in years
00:46:42Me too
00:46:43Not surprising me
00:46:45You light up every room you walk into
00:46:48Thank you
00:46:52It's just being here
00:46:53I feel different
00:46:57Yeah
00:46:57Maybe you're not different
00:46:58Maybe you're just
00:47:00Finally free to be your true self
00:47:06There
00:47:06What?
00:47:07That tree, it's perfect
00:47:09I thought you said bear
00:47:10I clearly said there
00:47:13That is a balsam
00:47:15We already talked about this
00:47:17And you were wrong
00:47:18That there is the perfect tree for the dance
00:47:20Are you gonna water that tree?
00:47:21Twice daily
00:47:22Okay, you gonna pick up the needles?
00:47:24Gabriel loves my new neighbor
00:47:27I love it
00:47:31Better hold the ornaments
00:47:35Think it's working?
00:47:36Get in there, hang on
00:47:37A little bit more
00:47:38No, no, no
00:47:39When I push, you pull, okay?
00:47:42That's what I'm doing
00:47:42It does not feel like that
00:47:44Okay, here we go
00:47:46There we go
00:47:49I think it's working
00:47:53There we go, let's go, let's go
00:47:55Hey, you did it
00:47:56Oh
00:48:04Alright, have the fun stuff
00:48:10You know what, I am going to go give Christmas a snack
00:48:14Excuse me
00:48:20Christmas?
00:48:22Christmas, yeah
00:48:23Oh, sorry, Charlie
00:48:24Um, Christmas was his mother
00:48:26And, uh, favorite horse is a kid, actually
00:48:29I remember Christmas
00:48:30Christmas, born on the actual day
00:48:33Well, Christmas, I'm sure you're the perfect Christmas present
00:48:37How is you?
00:48:40I didn't realize until
00:48:42No, me neither
00:48:43How about a ride?
00:48:45I'd love to
00:48:49How was that?
00:48:50Perfect, you're a great teacher
00:48:55That was my first ride
00:48:58I know it sounds funny, but I just
00:49:01I kept asking my dad if you were coming back
00:49:05But I have returned
00:49:08Yes, you have
00:49:14I'm so sorry if I misread
00:49:16No, no, I'm sorry
00:49:20There's something you really should know
00:49:22Something that I have neglected to tell you
00:49:24Okay, are you in a relationship?
00:49:27No, no, it's not that
00:49:28Uh, how do I say this?
00:49:32Um, do you remember that holiday headband game we played the night I arrived?
00:49:40Yeah, the one where you had to be a nutcracker
00:49:43Yes, exactly
00:49:44Except imagine if you were playing right now
00:49:47But the card in my headband had a tiara
00:49:50Um, so like
00:49:52Beauty pageants?
00:49:54No, uh
00:49:55A tiara and a scepter
00:49:57A queen?
00:49:58A tiny tiara
00:49:59A princess?
00:50:01Yes, exactly
00:50:01Sorry?
00:50:03A princess
00:50:04Are you saying that you're, um
00:50:08Princess Victoria?
00:50:10Well, my official title is Her Royal Highness Victoria Teresa Maria Olivia Eva Thiessen
00:50:16Princess of Zalania
00:50:17Daughter of Charlotte and Olivier and heir to the throne
00:50:20I see why you go with Victoria
00:50:21That is, um, that is a mouthful
00:50:24I don't understand
00:50:25Why are you telling me this?
00:50:26Look, I should have told you sooner
00:50:28But
00:50:32It's just that
00:50:33The whole reason I came here was to get away from it all
00:50:37Okay
00:50:39I'm about to take on a much larger role in my kingdom
00:50:42Stepping into many of my mother's public duties
00:50:44And
00:50:46It
00:50:47There's so much weighing on me there
00:50:49The responsibilities
00:50:50The pressures
00:50:51The chaos
00:50:52It's
00:50:52It's a lot
00:50:53And
00:50:53I needed a break
00:50:56Only now that I'm here
00:50:58Everything that I thought I knew about myself
00:51:01It feels upside down
00:51:04Except when I'm with you
00:51:06And it feels right side up
00:51:10Because with you
00:51:12I feel seen for the first time in my life
00:51:29Gabriel, what
00:51:31What the hell are you doing?
00:51:33I was just taking a call to pledge
00:51:36Well, it was late
00:51:37And
00:51:37I was
00:51:38Looking for you
00:51:39And then
00:51:39I realized I was going to interrupt
00:51:41And I didn't want to interrupt
00:51:42So I was just trying to
00:51:43Sneak away before anyone noticed
00:51:44Well, you would definitely notice
00:51:46Big time
00:51:47Well, who puts a bathtub in the middle of this thing?
00:51:51Let's get you dried off
00:51:53I'm sorry
00:51:54It's okay
00:52:01I had a lovely time tonight
00:52:03Thank you
00:52:06My pleasure
00:52:09Good night
00:52:10Good night
00:52:13Princess
00:52:27Thank you, honey
00:52:29Oh, this looks good
00:52:31Yeah
00:52:31Hey, yeah, yeah
00:52:32Those are for the house
00:52:33Oh, things never change, huh?
00:52:35Well, listen
00:52:36I'd happily trade you a broken gingerbread cookie
00:52:38For your help
00:52:39Deal
00:52:40Okay
00:52:43Hey, I, um
00:52:44I noticed a balsam tree in the barn
00:52:47Yeah
00:52:47Victoria insisted
00:52:50So, you guys remember when I was a kid
00:52:52And I kept asking if that blonde girl was coming back?
00:52:55You, the one you taught to ride?
00:52:57Yeah, that's her
00:52:58That's Victoria
00:52:59No
00:53:00Really?
00:53:01Yeah
00:53:02And here's the really crazy part
00:53:04Um
00:53:05She's a princess
00:53:06Oh, I wouldn't call her a princess
00:53:08She's really rolled up her sleeves around here
00:53:11No, no, no
00:53:11I mean, she is
00:53:13Actually
00:53:13A princess
00:53:15I mean, real deal royalty
00:53:19Princess Victoria of Zalarnia
00:53:22Oh
00:53:24Oh
00:53:25You know, that explains a few things
00:53:30Why are you two more shocked by this?
00:53:32Does it make a difference?
00:53:34She's still the same person
00:53:36You two seem really good together
00:53:38Oh, come on
00:53:39Pop
00:53:41She's a princess
00:53:42I am a washed up ball player
00:53:44You're more than that
00:53:46Your career doesn't define you
00:53:48Your character does
00:53:48You just got the stuffing kicked out of you, son
00:53:52Maybe you should
00:53:53Get back up on the horse
00:53:55And go after the things you want
00:53:59Yes, well
00:54:00Speaking of horses
00:54:01You should probably feed them
00:54:03Hey
00:54:04Ah, it's broken
00:54:09Horse metaphor, really
00:54:10It's all I got
00:54:12Yeah
00:54:15I missed you at breakfast
00:54:18I was still drying off
00:54:20Oh, it looks spectacular in here
00:54:24And I love what you did with a tree
00:54:25Thank you for putting the lights on it
00:54:28Morning, princess
00:54:29You told her
00:54:31I told him
00:54:32You told him
00:54:32She told me
00:54:39How do you like the tree?
00:54:40I gotta admit, it looks pretty good
00:54:42For a balsam
00:54:44And the haystack tree looks great, too
00:54:47Honestly, I love all your ideas
00:54:48Thank you
00:54:50I remembered the hay from the first holiday dance I went to
00:54:53And I wanted to find a fun way to incorporate it
00:54:57You know the wooden horse that my father gave me?
00:55:00Sure
00:55:00Well, when I was at the dance, my father hid it
00:55:03And when I found it, I thought it was magic
00:55:06So
00:55:08It was the best Christmas present I've ever received
00:55:10Well, hopefully the kids that come to the dance
00:55:12Have the same fond memories that you do
00:55:17What if we hide toys for the kids in a haystack?
00:55:20Yeah, it's a great idea
00:55:24Listen, um
00:55:25We kind of got interrupted last night
00:55:28So I was wondering if you would accompany me to the Festival of Lights tomorrow night
00:55:32Are you asking me on a date?
00:55:34Oh, yes, I am
00:55:35Unless, of course, there's some kind of princess protocol I don't really know anything about
00:55:39Do I have to ask the queen?
00:55:40How does this work?
00:55:41Well, technically, my mother is a grand duchess
00:55:45Think she approve?
00:55:47No
00:55:49But what matters is that it's my decision
00:55:52And I would love to be your date
00:55:55Well, I guess we have a genuine rendezvous then
00:55:58I guess we do
00:56:14You know, I have to admit
00:56:16I 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
00:56:27And I found even that to be stressful
00:56:29Did Tommy ever tell you that he was homecoming king?
00:56:31He did not
00:56:32But tell me, what exactly is a homecoming king and queen?
00:56:36Oh, it's this old high school tradition
00:56:38People get to vote on who they think should be king and queen
00:56:41Somebody who's kind and energetic
00:56:43And basically someone that represents the values of the community
00:56:47I mean, it's kind of silly
00:56:48But still, it's an honor
00:56:50And it's really fun
00:56:52Anyway, ever since I found out who you are
00:56:55I have been dying to tell you that Huntley was a homecoming king
00:56:59I'm sure he was quite a handsome king
00:57:01He was
00:57:04But you know
00:57:06I think he's actually more handsome now
00:57:21Hello
00:57:22Hey, hey, what's going on?
00:57:23What are you doing?
00:57:25Nothing
00:57:26Yeah, nothing, really
00:57:27What's up?
00:57:28Are you practicing your dance moves?
00:57:29No
00:57:31Yeah
00:57:33Yeah, I was
00:57:34You'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
00:57:57As I stated
00:58:00Stomp, kick, swing
00:58:02Then you're pointed that way
00:58:03And 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
00:58:16And ta-da
00:58:19Nailed it
00:58:19Thank you
00:58:21Thank you for
00:58:22Allowing us to have the dance
00:58:24I'm really looking forward to it
00:58:25It's one of my favorite memories
00:58:26From my time here with my father
00:58:28I can remember like it was yesterday
00:58:29Just dancing with him
00:58:31In front of the giant Christmas tree
00:58:32While the band played
00:58:33That sounds like a pretty great memory
00:58:36It is
00:58:40All right
00:58:40I am off
00:58:42Oh, off
00:58:43Where to now?
00:58:44Just some chores
00:58:44Some chores?
00:58:45Really?
00:58:47All right
00:58:47Have fun, cowgirl
00:58:49I intend to
00:58:52I 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
00:59:28So I have attached a locking latch
00:59:33Voila
00:59:34I can't stop Charlie
00:59:35I can't stop Charlie from being cheeky
00:59:36But at least the water bucket will stay put
00:59:38Thank you
00:59:40And you just did all this yourself?
00:59:42I did
00:59:44Really finding your footing here
00:59:45I am
00:59:57Here you go, kiddo
00:59:58Thank you
00:59:59You're welcome
00:59:59Oh, nice
01:00:00Are 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
01:00:16Oh?
01:00:17You clean up nicely too
01:00:20Shall we?
01:00:28Thanks for coming with me tonight
01:00:29It wasn't easy, F
01:00:32This is one of the best Christmases I've had in a long time
01:00:36Yeah, me too
01:00:37Hmm
01:00:43Your parents are adorable
01:00:45Yeah
01:00:46Been together forever
01:00:48I had the ranch almost as long
01:00:50Oh
01:00:52Yeah, they make a good team
01:00:53Hmm
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
01:01:08Now, speaking of gifts
01:01:11I have a surprise for you
01:01:13For me?
01:01:14Yeah
01:01:15Well
01:01:17Inspired me
01:01:20Come on
01:01:21Come on
01:01:26It's a starry sky
01:01:28Like the other night?
01:01:29Yeah
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?
01:01:50Look
01:01:52What are you talking about?
01:01:53Of course we're on the same team
01:01:54We're filling the dots together
01:01:55No, no
01:01:56You know what I mean
01:02:01Look, I understand how impractical this is
01:02:04I looked up your country
01:02:06It is very
01:02:07Very far away
01:02:11What if we tried?
01:02:16Let me
01:02:17No, no, 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
01:02:37Uh
01:02:38Yeah, no
01:02:39Of course
01:02:42Of course
01:02:42Yeah, no
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, well, speaking of memories
01:03:31I mean, I started off as a wall of cards from, you know
01:03:35A few guests thanking us for having a 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
01:03:44I'm reminded of how much fun we've had
01:03:48It reminds me
01:03:50Reminds me
01:03:51Ah, here it is
01:03:54I think you're going to like this one
01:03:56Good morning
01:03:58Good morning
01:03:59Good morning
01:04:00Good morning
01:04:01Good morning
01:04:04Good morning
01:04:05Jimmy and Nadine
01:04:06Thank you for your generous hospitality
01:04:09The time I spent with my daughter
01:04:11Has created memories that I will truly treasure for the rest of my life
01:04:17You 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
01:04:28Olivier
01:04:33Thank you, Nadine
01:04:35Thank you
01:04:36Of course
01:04:37I thought you might want to keep that
01:04:41Okay
01:04:41So
01:04:43Let'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 the kids
01:04:56You're 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
01:05:10Thank you
01:05:10Also, I wanted to offer up another option for the top of the tree
01:05:19Did you make this?
01:05:21Yeah
01:05:23I love it
01:05:26Sam
01:05:27What do you think about this?
01:05:29The tree top
01:05:29It's so pretty
01:05:30Yes
01:05:33Gabriel
01:05:34We have a new tree topper
01:05:36Oh, thank goodness
01:05:37This bow is never going to work
01:05:42So
01:05:44I know we left things unresolved last night
01:05:46And
01:05:47While I still need to think about things
01:05:50I don't want to waste a moment
01:05:52That I could be enjoying with you
01:05:53Worrying about the future
01:05:55So
01:05:56Would you go to the dance with me?
01:05:59Are you asking me out on a date?
01:06:02Absolutely
01:06:02Oh
01:06:03Very Sadie Hawkins of you
01:06:04Who?
01:06:06Yeah, no
01:06:07I'd love to
01:06:09Pick your break
01:06:18Who is it?
01:06:20By royal decree
01:06:22All maidens are asked to attend the holiday dance
01:06:25I'm sorry
01:06:26Are you laughing at me right now?
01:06:31Absolutely
01:06:33Wow

01:06:38You look quite handsome yourself

01:07:19I think you were probably
01:07:21Maybe a step high
01:07:23Maybe a little
01:07:23Just a little bit
01:07:29Well 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, I'm looking so festive
01:07:39Yeah, I know
01:07:39Yeah
01:07:40Um
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
01:07:52When I say go
01:07:54You're going to start looking for a special surprise in the hay
01:07:58Now there's one surprise for each of you
01:08:00So look for the one with your name on it
01:08:02Okay?

01:08:16Oh
01:08:16Oh
01:08:21Thank you so much
01:08:22Best 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, there he is
01:08:32Huntley, this dance is amazing
01:08:34I want to introduce you to Peter
01:08:36He's one of the volunteer fire fighters
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
01:08:42Thank you so much for putting this on for us
01:08:45It really helps us out
01:08:46Thank you
01:08:47But that lady right there
01:08:49That 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
01:08:58Merry Christmas
01:08:58Merry Christmas
01:08:59Merry Christmas
01:09:00It is so great to have you back on the ranch
01:09:02Yeah
01:09:08You know, you and Victoria make a pretty great team
01:09:26May I have this dance?
01:09:30So you're in luck
01:09:31A dance card is an opening
01:09:39So
01:09:41Everything you'd hoped for?
01:09:43No
01:09:43No
01:09:45So much more
01:09:48Pretty much every Christmas wish I've ever had was granted tonight
01:09:52But one
01:09:56So Shelby told me that you were homecoming king
01:09:59Oh, so embarrassing
01:10:02Why didn't you tell me you were also part of a royal family?
01:10:05No, I don't know
01:10:05I never really understood all that homecoming stuff
01:10:14I can't have that
01:10:24I know
01:10:25I don't know
01:10:27I don't know

01:16:07The book has entered. Mother and I will stand aside
01:16:09and you will give the opening remarks
01:16:11and light the candle.
01:16:12I thought you prepared my own speech.
01:16:14Oh.
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.
01:16:30Let's move this to the other side.
01:16:43Is everything all right?
01:16:46Hm?
01:16:46Oh.
01:16:48Yes, I...
01:16:50I just remembered something that I left behind.
01:16:55Mother?
01:16:56Darling, Mother.
01:16:58Welcome home.
01:17:01And, uh...
01:17:02Was the dance everything you wanted it to be?
01:17:04Oh.
01:17:05It was everything and more.
01:17:07Much, much more.
01:17:09If you count the cowboy.
01:17:10Mother.
01:17:11I mentioned that to you in confidence.
01:17:14And I told that to you in confidence.
01:17:16Well...
01:17:20The cowboy's name is Huntley.
01:17:22Hm?
01:17:22He's the proprietor's son.
01:17:24Oh.
01:17:25I see.
01:17:27And, uh...
01:17:28Will he be visiting any time soon?
01:17:30Oh.
01:17:31No, no.
01:17:32Uh...
01:17:33I'm so busy here with my duties
01:17:35and he is now taking over the ranch, so...
01:17:39I've missed you both dearly.
01:17:42Victoria.
01:17:43I 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 honor to be back for the final lighting.
01:18:04And for what I consider to be
01:18:07the most important advent candle.
01:18:09The 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...
01:19:00the love that fills us the most...
01:19:04is the love that...
01:19:06you never expect.
01:19:09The love that surprises us.
01:19:15My wish...
01:19:17my one Christmas wish...
01:19:19is that everyone could experience that kind of love.
01:19:30love...
01:19:42Hey, Christmas.
01:19:44I 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.
01:19:58I'm back.
01:19:59Well, I heard you were a popular Christmas destination.
01:20:05It'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.
01:20:14The maverick.
01:20:15Yeah.
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...
01:20:24in her defense...
01:20:26was the perfect tree.
01:20:29Well...
01:20:29she sounds like the most amazing person ever.
01:20:33She was.
01:20:35It was devastating when she left.
01:20:38I'm sure she felt the same way too.
01:20:41What are you doing here?
01:20:43When I realized I forgot my wooden tree topper.
01:20:46No.
01:20:47Shh.
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...?
01:21:01Not 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.
01:21:18For the first time, in as long as I can remember, I know who I am and what I want.
01:21:23And what I want is to be here with you.
01:21:26As a team.
01:21:37As a team.
01:21:39For the last time, I want to be here with you.
01:21:45I want to be here with you, where you are.
01:21:56And what I want to be here with you, where you are.
01:21:57The one thing for you, is to be here with you.
01:22:02And what are you doing...
01:22:02What are you doing here with you?
01:22:03Well, I want to say he can see...
