00:00:30Oh, there you are, Victoria.
00:00:31Gabriel?
00:00:32We're late.
00:00:33What?
00:00:33Change of plans. The lighting ceremony's been moved up. Rescheduled.
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. I-I-Don't ask.
00:00:48The partridge in the pear tree pushed the Winter Lights Festival, which then delayed your arrival at the Holiday Symphony,
00:00:53which subsequently changed the Adventry celebration to again 17 minutes ago.
00:00:57Gabriel, he's scheduled his bananas.
00:00:59It's crackers. Christmas crackers, to be exact.
00:01:01Gabriel.
00:01:02Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood. I hate to tell you this, but when January comes and you officially
00:01:06take over the figurehead duties of the Duchess,
00:01:08this chaos will increase a hundredfold.
00:01:10What if we do things differently next year?
00:01:13We don't do different here, Victoria. You know that.
00:01:16It's just that I have all these...
00:01:18Oh, that is very tight. The goal is to breathe, right?
00:01:22Unfortunately, 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.
00:01:41Oh, you want relaxation? No problem. I can totally schedule that in for you two years from now.
00:01:46Gabriel.
00:01:47I hear you.
00:01:49Your Highness.
00:01:51But now is not the time to reinvent the wheel. Now is the time to deck yourself in the Christmas
00:01:55spirit.
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. So sorry. Thank you for your waiting.
00:02:25Thank you. Sorry.
00:02:28Welcome to Zalonia Palace.
00:02:32It is my honour 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.
00:03:11Uh, uh, thank you.
00:03:16Uh, may we all experience the hope that the holiday brings to all of our hearts in Zalonia.
00:03:24Hmm.
00:03:25Left.
00:03:33I'll just like you another one.
00:03:36Ah.
00:03:39Hmm.
00:03:40Thank you.
00:03:50It'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, and, um...
00:03:58Uh, you did very well, Victoria.
00:04:02Oh, did I, Mother?
00:04:04Well, we can't always be perfect, my love, but we must try.
00:04:09It 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 referring to Valentino pajamas.
00:04:20I'm afraid not.
00:04:21But feel free to sign the official royal Christmas cards in your PJs later tonight.
00:04:27Thank you.
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.
00:04:43I 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?
00:05:29I 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.
00:06:10Besides, I'd better have time to breathe and let alone date.
00:06:14Mother, I'm not done.
00:06:16This one looked ready.
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 you 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?
00:06:52No.
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.
00:07:24But 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, questions that I... 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.
00:08:51Thank you.
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 to be back by the 19th.
00:09:16I truly hope you find what you are looking for.
00:09:20Sweet love.
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, 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.
00:11:13It'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, Nadie Blaylock.
00:12:32Victoria, I'm so happy to be here.
00:12:34She's not only my wonderful wife, she'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 at 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. Thank you.
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 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.
00:14:18Um, I can eat it.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:21But you'd have to catch it first, which is doubtful.
00:14:24Is it a gingerbread man?
00:14:26Yes.
00:14:26You guessed it.
00:14:28You must be the new guest.
00:14:30I'm Shelby.
00:14:31I have some homemade nog with fresh nutmeg.
00:14:35Thank you.
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.
00:14:45Give her a crown.
00:14:47Oh.
00:14:47Get 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?
00:14:54Hey, maybe.
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.
00:15:07Am 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,
00:15:16and I can sometimes be a present.
00:15:20Am I a nutcracker?
00:15:22Yes!
00:15:23Yes!
00:15:24Yes!
00:15:24I am a nutcracker!
00:15:26Well, isn't that ironic?
00:15:30It's you.
00:15:31Ms. 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.
00:15:39Was it twice?
00:15:40Accidentally twice.
00:15:45Oh, I just wanted to let you know
00:15:46that 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.
00:16:02Huntley.
00:16:05Huntley.
00:16:13Huntley.
00:16:14Huntley.
00:16:20Huntley.
00:16:21Huntley.
00:16:21Huntley.
00:16:22Huntley.
00:16:23Huntley.
00:16:23Huntley.
00:16:24Huntley.
00:16:25Huntley.
00:16:26Huntley.
00:16:27Huntley.
00:16:27Huntley.
00:16:28Huntley.
00:16:31Bu, Bing, you dropped your water bucket.
00:16:35Charlie,
00:16:36does 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.
00:16:53So...
00:16:54You work here?
00:16:56Sorta.
00:16:58I'm Jimmy and Nadie'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, uh, it's a lot of work.
00:17:22Oh, I can see that.
00:17:24Especially now my parents are getting up there,
00:17:26and they want to retire, and they kind of want to hand me 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.
00:18:05We 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 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 lived 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.
00:19:38Thank you.
00:19:39Thank you.
00:19:40If it's not too much trouble, we would love some cream and sugar.
00:19:43Sugar's on the table, cream is 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.
00:19:56Everything smells delicious.
00:19:58Thank you.
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?
00:20:13Thank you.
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.
00:20:27One for the road.
00:20:29Thank you.
00:20:30I will take two for the road, please.
00:20:33Thank you.
00:20:34Mind if I join you?
00:20:35Sure.
00:20:40I can get this for you.
00:20:41Thank 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.
00:20:55Come all 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 cow boss.
00:21:10He prefers cow boss.
00:21:11Oh.
00:21:12All right then, cow boss.
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?
00:21:26Charlie made a big old mess last night.
00:21:30Sure you're up for this?
00:21:31Yes, absolutely!
00:21:32Ding ko want a corri sensation.
00:21:35Jingle in a jungle, come on.
00:21:36Jingle in a jungle, come on.
00:21:37Jingle in a jungle, come on.
00:21:39Ow!
00:21:40Because the big man's here.
00:21:41He's got work to do for the year.
00:21:44Well, come on.
00:21:45A jingle and a jungle, come on.
00:21:48Jingle in a triangle, come on.
00:21:50Jingle in a jungle, come on.
00:21:50Jingle in a jungle, come on.
00:21:54İzlediğiniz için teşekkür ederim.
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!
00:23:04It's like we 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...
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.
00:23:50Pressure's on here.
00:23:51I'll go first.
00:23:52Excuse me.
00:23:58Oh!
00:24:00Not bad, not bad.
00:24:02Very good.
00:24:03Thank you.
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.
00:24:10Got your spot there.
00:24:11I'm going to back up here and be safe.
00:24:16Oh!
00:24:17Almost.
00:24:18Almost.
00:24:19Almost.
00:24:19He almost took his head off.
00:24:21Almost.
00:24:22Dang, in a second.
00:24:23Can I help you?
00:24:25Absolutely.
00:24:26Like that.
00:24:27You want to take this in here.
00:24:28So, rope, you have an extension of your arm.
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 find your target.
00:24:40Swing, release, snap.
00:24:42Okay?
00:24:43Practice.
00:24:43Swing.
00:24:44Swing.
00:24:45Release.
00:24:45Release.
00:24:50Close, close.
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, release, snap.
00:25:01Swing?
00:25:03Okay.
00:25:05Oh!
00:25:06Hey, you did it.
00:25:12Um, hang on a second.
00:25:13Sorry.
00:25:14You got it.
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, I should be the horses.
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.
00:25:46Oh, rideshare.
00:25:47Yeah, around here we get around on horseback.
00:25:49I'm sorry, you what?
00:25:51Ranch rules.
00:25:53She's joking.
00:25:55You are joking, right?
00:25:56Yes, of course.
00:25:57I got you a cab.
00:25:59Oh, hang on a second.
00:26:00Where are you trying to go?
00:26:02Oh, 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.
00:26:22Uh, we don't have one.
00:26:23Or the pool.
00:26:24Yeah, it's 30 degrees outside.
00:26:26Well, 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 and 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.
00:27:25Sounds 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 and make it a little different experience.
00:27:38What's this year's theme?
00:27:39Oh, no, I couldn't tell you that.
00:27:41That's top secret.
00:27:44All right.
00:27:45Well, 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.
00:28:03Stars 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.
00:28:19No, I'm sorry.
00:28:20Thank you.
00:28:26My mum says that I like him, but...
00:28:30I'm not so sure anymore.
00:28:32I used to keep my heart open to everyone and everything,
00:28:37but lately it's...
00:28:39It's just been hard.
00:28:42Yeah, let me help you with it.
00:28:47Well, 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.
00:29:09Tell 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...
00:29:32It was pretty unbelievable.
00:29:37Then at my first training camp, I blew out my shoulder.
00:29:41Shredded 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,
00:29:47just in 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.
00:30:09Please 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 on me?
00:30:19Sure.
00:30:23Ready?
00:30:25Oh, come on.
00:30:28Oh.
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.
00:30:34I'm afraid.
00:30:39I'm not.
00:30:40Are you hustling me?
00:30:42Perhaps.
00:30:44Okay, what other games you play?
00:30:46Polo, cricket, watchable, croquet, fencing, and I was captain of Oxford's competitive rowing team.
00:30:55Indoor shuffleboard.
00:30:56I have personally engraved 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.
00:31:17Thank you.
00:31:18You're welcome.
00:31:19Take him for everything he's got.
00:31:21No, that should be easy.
00:31:23Hey.
00:31:25Shelby, 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 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.
00:32:03Oh, um...
00:32:04Why not?
00:32:05It was so much fun.
00:32:07Yeah, it's just, you know, organizing a dance for this short amount of time is a lot of work.
00:32:10My responsibility is 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.
00:32:24And you could get live music and drinks and food.
00:32:27I 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...
00:32:38Just leave it with me for a minute, okay?
00:32:42Absolutely.
00:32:43Thank you.
00:32:45Excuse me.
00:32:49Thank you so much for offering the help.
00:32:52I mean, hopefully 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.
00:33:25Well, nobody's ever accused me of that before.
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:30You know, uh, Shelby asked if we could host a fundraiser for the volunteer firefighters in the barn.
00:33:38Maybe bring back the holiday dance.
00:33:40That'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.
00:34:56Now, to me, it looks like it does.
00:34:59But if I'm wrong,
00:35:03I can accept that.
00:35:05What 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.
00:35:34But 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.
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.
00:35:56Emma, give me a second.
00:35:57Everything all right?
00:35:59Victoria?
00:36:00Okay, let'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.
00:36:09How 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.
00:36:18Well, I'll just have to extend my stay.
00:36:20Okay, first things first,
00:36:21poinsettias and trigger lights,
00:36:22we need lots of them.
00:36:23And can you please take a look
00:36:25at 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.
00:36:43Hello, 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,
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.
00:37:01So, 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.
00:37:12Like, we could turn old cowboy boots
00:37:15into floral centerpieces like this.
00:37:18I love those.
00:37:20Thank you.
00:37:22And we could make a Christmas tree
00:37:24out 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,
00:37:34and 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
00:37:41an 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!
00:37:53Tom, do you remember?
00:37:55Do I?
00:37:56Let's make some Christmas magic!
00:38:17Coco?
00:38:18Thank you.
00:38:21You know,
00:38:22you have a real gift
00:38:24for motivating people.
00:38:25Oh.
00:38:28It's nothing.
00:38:30Just mix some creativity
00:38:32and passion.
00:38:37Thank you for letting me
00:38:38last over you
00:38:39into holding the dance.
00:38:40Oh, yeah.
00:38:41He 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,
00:38:51my mother was displeased,
00:38:53but I promised that
00:38:55I'd be home
00:38:55for the fourth
00:38:56and final Advent night.
00:38:58This is family tradition,
00:39:00so in the end,
00:39:01she relented.
00:39:04Good.
00:39:05It'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,
00:39:17eventually,
00:39:17I'm hoping
00:39:18it's going to be a horse.
00:39:21Eventually.
00:39:22Eventually.
00:39:22Maybe.
00:39:28You and my father
00:39:29actually called me a horse
00:39:31when we were here.
00:39:32I think your father
00:39:34taught him how.
00:39:36That does sound like
00:39:37very standard ranch activity.
00:39:38Yes.
00:39:40Ranch 101.
00:39:45I believe he sat right here
00:39:47under these stars
00:39:48as he carved
00:39:50and told me stories.
00:39:56He told me
00:39:57all about the constellations, too,
00:39:59but
00:40:01I can't remember any of them.
00:40:08Well,
00:40:09you see that?
00:40:10Right there.
00:40:11Mm-hmm.
00:40:12That is Pegasus,
00:40:14Zeus's winged steed
00:40:16and the only being
00:40:17able to reach the heavens.
00:40:18is why people say
00:40:20that Pegasus
00:40:21is the symbol of the soul
00:40:22and its everlasting presence.
00:40:27I wonder if that's why
00:40:28horses are just so magical
00:40:29to be around.
00:40:31And they remind us
00:40:32of the connection
00:40:32to the souls
00:40:33that have moved on,
00:40:34but also,
00:40:36they never really leave us.
00:40:37You know?
00:40:52I've forgotten
00:40:52how beautiful it is.
00:40:56I will admit
00:40:57it is stunning.
00:41:01Thank you again
00:41:02for staying.
00:41:03Please.
00:41:04I didn't bring
00:41:04my cowboy boots
00:41:05for nothing.
00:41:06You bring those everywhere.
00:41:07They make me five foot nine.
00:41:09Besides,
00:41:11I didn't want to miss
00:41:12the sparks flying
00:41:13between you and Huntley.
00:41:14That is not why
00:41:15I decided to stay.
00:41:16Mm-hmm.
00:41:17At least it's not
00:41:18the only reason.
00:41:19So you meant
00:41:20it is a reason.
00:41:23It might be.
00:41:29I haven't let myself
00:41:30get this close to someone
00:41:31in a long time.
00:41:34It's scary.
00:41:36But this is what
00:41:37you 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
00:41:45that you're a princess yet?
00:41:47No, not yet.
00:41:49Why not?
00:41:51It feels like
00:41:52an added complication.
00:41:53Maybe yes.
00:41:55Maybe no.
00:41:57Could be a dream come true.
00:42:00Gabriel,
00:42:00just because I'm a princess
00:42:01doesn't mean
00:42:02I'm guaranteed
00:42:03a 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.
00:42:28Wonderful.
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.
00:42:45Oh, we never could have
00:42:46pulled 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
00:42:53to see Huntley this happy.
00:42:55I mean,
00:42:55I haven't seen him smile
00:42:56this much since...
00:42:59Well,
00:42:59it's been a really long time.
00:43:03You've brought him home
00:43:04in a real way.
00:43:06Oh, well,
00:43:06he's done the same
00:43:07for 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
00:43:19with something.
00:43:19Is this one serious?
00:43:20It is.
00:43:21We need to cut down
00:43:21a tree for the dance.
00:43:24Well,
00:43:25wouldn't it be
00:43:26simpler just to buy one?
00:43:27No, no.
00:43:28You can't buck tradition.
00:43:29Now?
00:43:29I have so much to do.
00:43:31I can help.
00:43:32I...
00:43:32Oh, well,
00:43:33I wouldn't want to impose.
00:43:34Oh, not at all.
00:43:36Hot twist.
00:43:37Oh, quiet you.
00:43:39That popcorn
00:43:39is for the garlands.
00:43:41Thought it was
00:43:41a little bit stale.
00:43:46All right, then.
00:43:47Let's go.
00:43:48Just have
00:43:49one stop
00:43:50to make while on the way.
00:43:51Suspicious.
00:43:57Things are getting interesting.
00:43:58Very.
00:44:01Thank you.
00:44:03So, uh,
00:44:04you really didn't have
00:44:05to buy me this hat.
00:44:07Although it is fabulous,
00:44:08everyone will definitely
00:44:09be jealous.
00:44:09My pleasure.
00:44:10It's in't you.
00:44:11So what do you say
00:44:12let's go cut this tree down,
00:44:13hmm?
00:44:14I'll have you know
00:44:14I am somewhat
00:44:15our Christmas tree expert.
00:44:17Oh, really?
00:44:17Whenever I choose
00:44:18a holiday tree,
00:44:19I select a balsam fir.
00:44:20Its fragrance is effervescent.
00:44:22Nope.
00:44:23Needles fall off
00:44:23in a week.
00:44:24Blue spruce
00:44:25is the way to go.
00:44:25You're joking.
00:44:27No, you can't be serious.
00:44:28If you water a balsam,
00:44:30the needles don't fall off.
00:44:31But the needles
00:44:31don't have a blue spruce.
00:44:32They're like pins.
00:44:33They hurt.
00:44:34Yeah, which is why
00:44:35we wear gloves.
00:44:36Strong branches,
00:44:37holds the ornaments.
00:44:37Plus, I only have to
00:44:38water it once a week.
00:44:40Regardless,
00:44:41a blue spruce
00:44:42doesn't emit
00:44:42any fragrance.
00:44:43Christmas trees
00:44:44are for looking,
00:44:45not for smelling.
00:44:46Oh, I completely disagree.
00:44:49Well, we are at an impasse.
00:44:53Agree to disagree.
00:44:54Fine.
00:44:55I agree to disagree.
00:44:58And I agree
00:44:58that you are wrong,
00:44:59cowboy.
00:45:09It's breathtaking.
00:45:11Yeah.
00:45:11No place like it.
00:45:17You know,
00:45:17you're not the first person
00:45:18to come here
00:45:19looking for answers.
00:45:20Huh?
00:45:20Man,
00:45:21surprised how many people
00:45:22find their way to us.
00:45:24I can see why.
00:45:26It's liberating
00:45:27being here
00:45:28away from the demands
00:45:29of 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
00:45:45before the dance,
00:45:45so they turned
00:45:46its big surprise celebration
00:45:48for me.
00:45:50The whole town was there.
00:45:51It was amazing.
00:45:52Mm-hmm.
00:45:54Then I got hurt.
00:45:55I let everybody down.
00:45:57The parents couldn't do it
00:45:58the next year.
00:45:59they were too busy
00:45:59helping me with my recovery.
00:46:02Just embarrassing,
00:46:03you know?
00:46:05And when they started
00:46:06talking about
00:46:06Plan 8 for the next year,
00:46:07I just,
00:46:08I don't know,
00:46:09I just lost it.
00:46:10Took off on a long
00:46:11cattle drive.
00:46:13Abandoned them,
00:46:14the ranch.
00:46:17And I don't know
00:46:17how much that hurt them.
00:46:20after that,
00:46:21they just kind of
00:46:21stopped doing it.
00:46:24I really talked about it,
00:46:25but obviously can't help
00:46:26but feel like
00:46:26it's my fault.
00:46:30I'm sorry.
00:46:33Are you sure
00:46:33you're okay
00:46:34with doing the dance
00:46:35this year?
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:38Yeah,
00:46:39and I feel more alive
00:46:40than I have in years.
00:46:42Me too.
00:46:44Not surprising me.
00:46:46You light up
00:46:46every room you walk into.
00:46:48Thank you.
00:46:52It's just being here,
00:46:53I,
00:46:54I feel different.
00:46:57Yeah.
00:46:58Maybe you're not different.
00:46:59Maybe you're just
00:47:00finally free to be
00:47:01your true self.
00:47:06Bear!
00:47:07What?
00:47:07That tree,
00:47:08it's perfect!
00:47:09I thought you said bear.
00:47:11I clearly said bear.
00:47:13Oh.
00:47:14That is a balsam.
00:47:15We already talked about this.
00:47:17And you were wrong.
00:47:18That there
00:47:19is the perfect tree
00:47:19for the dance.
00:47:20Are you gonna water that tree?
00:47:21Twice daily.
00:47:22Okay,
00:47:23you gonna pick up the needles?
00:47:24Gabriel loves
00:47:24my new neighbor.
00:47:27I love it.
00:47:31Better hold the ornaments.
00:47:35Think it's working?
00:47:36Get in there,
00:47:37hang on.
00:47:38A little bit more.
00:47:38No,
00:47:39no,
00:47:39no,
00:47:39no,
00:47:39no,
00:47:39no,
00:47:40no.
00:47:40When I push,
00:47:40you pull,
00:47:41okay?
00:47:41That's what I'm doing.
00:47:43It does not feel like that.
00:47:44Okay,
00:47:44here we go.
00:47:46There we go.
00:47:49I think it's working.
00:47:53There we go,
00:47:54Kathy!
00:47:54There we go, Kathy!
00:47:55Hey,
00:47:56you did it.
00:47:57Oh, my God!
00:48:04All right.

00:48:10You know what?
00:48:11I, uh,
00:48:11I am gonna go give
00:48:12Christmas a snack.
00:48:14Excuse me.

00:48:33Well,

00:48:34I'm sure you're
00:48:35the perfect Christmas present.
00:48:37That was you.
00:48:40I didn't realize
00:48:41until...
00:48:42No,
00:48:42me neither.
00:48:43How about
00:48:44the ride?
00:48:45I'd love to.
00:48:50How was that?
00:48:51Perfect.
00:48:51You're a great teacher.
00:48:55That was my first ride.
00:48:58I know it sounds funny,
00:48:59but I just...
00:49:00I kept asking my dad
00:49:02if you were coming back.
00:49:05And I have returned.
00:49:08Yes,
00:49:08you have.
00:49:14I'm so sorry
00:49:15if I misread.
00:49:16No,
00:49:17no,
00:49:17I'm sorry.
00:49:20There's something
00:49:21you really should know,
00:49:22something that I have
00:49:23neglected to tell you.
00:49:25Okay,
00:49:25are you in a relationship?
00:49:27No,
00:49:27no,
00:49:27it's not that.

00:49:39the night I arrived?
00:49:40Yeah,

00:49:41had to be a nutcracker.
00:49:43Yes,
00:49:43exactly.
00:49:44Except imagine
00:49:45if we were playing
00:49:46right now,
00:49:47but the card
00:49:48in my headband
00:49:48had a tiara.

00:50:22That is,
00:50:23um,
00:50:23that is a mouthful.
00:50:24I don't understand.
00:50:25Why are you telling me this?
00:50:26Look,
00:50:26I should have told you
00:50:28sooner,
00:50:28but
00:50:32it's just that
00:50:33the whole reason
00:50:34I came here
00:50:34was to get away
00:50:35from it all.
00:50:37Okay.
00:50:39I'm about to take on
00:50:40a much larger role
00:50:41in my kingdom,
00:50:42stepping into many
00:50:43of my mother's
00:50:44public duties,
00:50:44and
00:50:46it,
00:50:47there's so much
00:50:48weighing on me there
00:50:49and the responsibilities,
00:50:50the pressures,
00:50:51the chaos,
00:50:52it's,
00:50:52it's a lot,
00:50:53and I needed a break.
00:50:56Only now that I'm here,
00:50:58everything that I thought
00:51:00I 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
00:51:13for the first time
00:51:14in my life.
00:51:29Gabriel,
00:51:30what,
00:51:31what the hell are you doing?
00:51:33I was just taking
00:51:34a call to pledge.
00:51:36Well,
00:51:37it was late
00:51:37and I was looking for you
00:51:39and then I realized
00:51:40I was going to interrupt
00:51:41and I didn't want to interrupt,
00:51:42I'm sorry,
00:51:42I was just trying to
00:51:43sneak away
00:51:43before anyone noticed.
00:51:45Well,
00:51:45you would definitely notice.
00:51:46Big time.
00:51:47Well,
00:51:47who puts a bathtub
00:51:48in the middle of this thing?
00:51:51Let's get you dried off.
00:51:53I'm sorry.
00:51:54It's okay.
00:52:02I had a lovely time tonight.
00:52:04Thank you.
00:52:06My pleasure.
00:52:09Good night.
00:52:10Good night.
00:52:14Princess.
00:52:27Thank you, honey.
00:52:29Oh,
00:52:30this looks good.
00:52:31Yeah.
00:52:31Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:32Those are for the house.
00:52:33But things never change, huh?
00:52:35Well, listen,
00:52:36I'd happily trade you
00:52:37a broken gingerbread cookie
00:52:38for your help.
00:52:39Deal.
00:52:40Okay.
00:52:43Hey,
00:52:43I, um,
00:52:44I noticed
00:52:45a balsam tree
00:52:46in the barn.
00:52:47Yeah.
00:52:48Victoria insisted.
00:52:50So,
00:52:51you guys remember
00:52:51when I was a kid
00:52:52and I kept asking
00:52:53if that blonde girl
00:52:54was coming back?
00:52:55You,
00:52:56the one you taught to ride?
00:52:57Yeah,
00:52:58that's her.
00:52:58That's Victoria.
00:53:00No.
00:53:00Really?
00:53:01Yeah.
00:53:02And here's
00:53:03the really crazy part.
00:53:04Um,
00:53:05she's a princess.
00:53:07Oh,
00:53:07I wouldn't call her
00:53:08a princess.
00:53:09She's really rolled
00:53:09up her sleeves
00:53:10around here.
00:53:11No, no, no.
00:53:11I mean,
00:53:11she is
00:53:13actually
00:53:14a princess.
00:53:15I mean,
00:53:16real deal royalty.
00:53:18Princess Victoria
00:53:19of
00:53:20Zalarnia.
00:53:22Oh.
00:53:24Oh.
00:53:25You know,
00:53:26that explains
00:53:27a few things.
00:53:30Why are you two
00:53:31more shocked
00:53:32by this?
00:53:32Does it make
00:53:33a difference?
00:53:34She's still
00:53:35the same person.
00:53:36You two seem
00:53:37really good together.
00:53:38Oh,
00:53:38come on,
00:53:39Pop.
00:53:41She's a princess.
00:53:42I'm a
00:53:42washed up ball player.
00:53:45You're more than that.
00:53:46Your career
00:53:47doesn't define you.
00:53:48Your character does.
00:53:49You just got the
00:53:49stuffing kicked
00:53:50out of you,
00:53:51son.
00:53:52Maybe you should
00:53:53get back up
00:53:54on the horse
00:53:55and go after
00:53:56the things you want.
00:53:59Yes,
00:54:00well,
00:54:00speaking of horses,
00:54:01I should probably
00:54:02feed them.
00:54:03Hey, hey, hey.
00:54:04Ah,
00:54:04it's broken.
00:54:09Horse metaphor,
00:54:10really?
00:54:11It's all I got.
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:15I missed you
00:54:16at breakfast.
00:54:18I was still
00:54:19drying off.
00:54:20Oh,
00:54:21it looks
00:54:21spectacular
00:54:22in here.
00:54:24And I love
00:54:24what you did
00:54:25with a tree.
00:54:25Thank you
00:54:26for putting
00:54:26the lights on it.
00:54:28Morning,
00:54:29princess.
00:54:30You told her.
00:54:31I told him.
00:54:32You told him.
00:54:32She told me.
00:54:38And how do you
00:54:39like a tree?
00:54:40I gotta admit,
00:54:41it looks pretty good
00:54:42for a balsam.
00:54:44And the haystack
00:54:45tree looks great,
00:54:45too.
00:54:47Honestly,
00:54:48I love all your ideas.
00:54:49Thank you.
00:54:50I remember
00:54:51the hay
00:54:52from the first
00:54:52holiday dance
00:54:53I went to,
00:54:53and I wanted
00:54:54to find a fun
00:54:55way to incorporate
00:54:55it.
00:54:57You know,
00:54:58the wooden horse
00:54:59that my father
00:54:59gave me?
00:55:00Sure.
00:55:01Well,
00:55:01when I was
00:55:01at the dance,
00:55:03my father hid it,
00:55:03and when I found it,
00:55:05I thought it was magic.
00:55:06So,
00:55:08it was the best
00:55:09Christmas present
00:55:09I've ever received.
00:55:10Well,
00:55:11hopefully the kids
00:55:11that come to the dance
00:55:12have the same fond
00:55:13memories that you do.
00:55:17What if we hide toys
00:55:18for the kids
00:55:19in a haystack?
00:55:20Yeah,
00:55:21it's a great idea.
00:55:24Listen,
00:55:25um,
00:55:25we kind of got
00:55:26interrupted last night,
00:55:28so I was wondering
00:55:29if you would accompany
00:55:30me to the Festival
00:55:31of Lights
00:55:31tomorrow night.
00:55:32Are you asking
00:55:33me on a date?
00:55:34Oh,
00:55:34yes,
00:55:34I am.
00:55:35Unless,
00:55:36of course,
00:55:36there's some kind
00:55:36of princess protocol
00:55:38I don't really
00:55:38know anything about.
00:55:39Do I have to ask
00:55:40the queen?
00:55:40How does this work?
00:55:41Well,
00:55:42technically,
00:55:42my mother is
00:55:43a grand duchess.
00:55:45Think she approve?
00:55:47No.
00:55:49But,
00:55:49what matters
00:55:50is that it's
00:55:50my decision.
00:55:52And I would love
00:55:53to be your date.
00:55:55Well,
00:55:55I guess we have
00:55:56a genuine rendezvous,
00:55:57then.
00:55:58I guess we do.
00:56:14You know,
00:56:15I have to admit,
00:56:17I was stunned
00:56:17when Nadie told me
00:56:18that we've had
00:56:19royalty among us.
00:56:20I take that
00:56:21as a compliment.
00:56:23I mean,
00:56:24I was only
00:56:25the homecoming queen,
00:56:27and I found
00:56:27even that
00:56:28to be stressful.
00:56:29Did Humley
00:56:30ever tell you
00:56:30that he was
00:56:31homecoming king?
00:56:31He did not.
00:56:32But tell me,
00:56:33what exactly is
00:56:35a homecoming king
00:56:36and queen?
00:56:36Oh,
00:56:37it's this old
00:56:37high school tradition.
00:56:38People get to vote
00:56:39on who they think
00:56:40should be king
00:56:40and queen.
00:56:41Somebody who's kind
00:56:42and energetic
00:56:43and basically
00:56:45someone that represents
00:56:46the values
00:56:46of the community.
00:56:47I mean,
00:56:48it's kind of silly,
00:56:48but still,
00:56:50it's an honor,
00:56:50and it's really fun.
00:56:52Anyway,
00:56:53ever since I found
00:56:54out who you are,
00:56:55I have been dying
00:56:55to tell you
00:56:56that Huntley
00:56:57was a homecoming king.
00:56:59I'm sure he was
00:56:59quite a handsome king.
00:57:01He was.
00:57:04But,
00:57:05you know,
00:57:06I think he's actually
00:57:07more handsome now.
00:57:08Thank you.
00:57:21Hello.
00:57:22Hey.
00:57:22Hey, 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
00:57:28your dance moves?
00:57:29No.
00:57:30Uh,
00:57:32yeah.
00:57:33Yeah, I was.
00:57:34You're looking good.
00:57:36Thanks.
00:57:38You know,
00:57:39Shelby taught me
00:57:39the dance,
00:57:40but I'm having trouble
00:57:40remembering the last bit.
00:57:42Would you mind
00:57:42showing me?
00:57:43What do you mean,
00:57:44the little
00:57:45stomp,
00:57:45kick,
00:57:46swing thingy?
00:57:47Is that the official term?
00:57:48I'm pretty sure
00:57:48that is the official term.
00:57:50I don't really think
00:57:51I'm the one
00:57:51to show you this dance.
00:57:52Oh, nonsense.
00:57:53Please,
00:57:54show me the moves.
00:57:55All right,
00:57:56well,
00:57:57as I stated,
00:58:00stomp,
00:58:00kick,
00:58:01swing.
00:58:02Then you're pointed
00:58:03that way
00:58:03and it's...
00:58:04That direction.
00:58:05That direction
00:58:05if you can,
00:58:06hopefully.
00:58:06So,
00:58:07let's see it.
00:58:09You got this.
00:58:12All right.
00:58:13Chard into it.
00:58:15Stomp,
00:58:16kick,
00:58:16and ta-da.
00:58:19Nailed it.
00:58:20Thank you.
00:58:21Thank you for
00:58:22allowing us
00:58:23to have the dance.
00:58:24I'm really looking
00:58:24forward to it.
00:58:25It's one of my
00:58:26favorite memories
00:58:26from my time
00:58:27here with my father.
00:58:28I can remember
00:58:29like it was yesterday,
00:58:29just dancing with him
00:58:31in front of the
00:58:31giant Christmas tree
00:58:32while the band played.
00:58:33That sounds like
00:58:34a 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.
00:59:18What are you doing there?
00:59:20Just a little cowgirl work.
00:59:22Really?
00:59:23I figured out
00:59:24why Charlie's bucket
00:59:25kept falling off.
00:59:26The hook for the bucket
00:59:27was too small,
00:59:28so I have attached
00:59:29a locking latch.
00:59:33Voila.
00:59:34I can't stop Charlie
00:59:35from being cheeky,
00:59:36but at least
00:59:37the water bucket
00:59:38will stay put.
00:59:38Thank you.
00:59:40And you just
00:59:41did all this yourself?
00:59:42I did.
00:59:43Oh.
00:59:44Really finding
00:59:44your footing here.
00:59:45I am.
00:59:57Here you go, kiddo.
00:59:58Thank you.
00:59:59You're welcome.
01:00:00Nice.
01:00:02Are 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
01:00:17nicely, too.
01:00:20Shall we?
01:00:28Thanks for coming
01:00:29with me tonight.
01:00:30It wasn't easy, F.
01:00:32This is one of the best
01:00:33Christmases I've had
01:00:34in a long time.
01:00:36Yeah, me too.
01:00:38Hmm.
01:00:43Your parents are adorable.
01:00:45Yeah.
01:00:47Been together forever.
01:00:48Had the ranch
01:00:49almost as long.
01:00:50Wow.
01:00:52Yeah, they make
01:00:53a good team.
01:00:54Hmm.
01:00:56But they are
01:00:56slowing down a bit.
01:00:58The guy wants
01:00:59to take my mom
01:01:00to see the world
01:01:00before they slow down
01:01:01too much.
01:01:02Hmm.
01:01:04Love like theirs
01:01:05is a rare gift.
01:01:06Hmm.
01:01:09Now, speaking of gifts,
01:01:11I have a surprise for you.
01:01:13For me?
01:01:14Yeah.
01:01:15Well,
01:01:17you inspired me.
01:01:20Come on.
01:01:26It's a starry sky.
01:01:28Like the other night?
01:01:29Yeah.
01:01:30The 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
01:01:47on the same team?
01:01:52What are you talking about?
01:01:53Of course we're
01:01:53on the same team.
01:01:54We were filling
01:01:55the dots together.
01:01:56No, no.
01:01:56You know what I mean.
01:02:01Look, I understand
01:02:02how 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, 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.
01:02:30But I just need
01:02:35to think about it.
01:02:38Yeah, no.
01:02:39Of course.
01:02:42Of course.
01:02:45take as much time
01:02:45as 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.
01:03:16I am just so happy
01:03:17that you're having
01:03:18a wonderful time here.
01:03:19I mean,
01:03:20it's the whole reason
01:03:20we started this ranch
01:03:21to give people memories
01:03:23that 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,
01:03:32I started off
01:03:33as a wall of cards
01:03:34from, you know,
01:03:35a few guests
01:03:35thanking us
01:03:36for having a wonderful time
01:03:37on the ranch
01:03:38and then
01:03:38it sort of became
01:03:40a tradition.
01:03:41And, well,
01:03:42I love it.
01:03:42I mean,
01:03:43every year
01:03:43when I put the cards up,
01:03:44I'm reminded
01:03:45of how much fun
01:03:46we've had.
01:03:48It reminds me.
01:03:50Reminds me.
01:03:51Ah, here it is.
01:03:55I think you're
01:03:56going to like this one.
01:03:57Mm-hmm.
01:03:58Good morning.
01:03:59Good morning.

01:04:12that I will truly
01:04:12treasure for the rest

01:04:17You've given me
01:04:17a priceless Christmas gift.

01:10:00Oh,
01:10:01so embarrassing.
01:10:02Why didn't you tell me
01:10:03you were also part

01:10:05No, I'm not.
01:10:05I never really understood
01:10:07all that
01:10:07homecoming stuff.
01:10:09Mm-hmm.
01:10:22Mm-hmm.
01:10:39What if we had
01:10:40a homecoming
01:10:40king and queen?
01:10:42I don't think
01:10:43I can go through
01:10:43that again.
01:10:44Oh, Joe,
01:10:44what's this, cowboy?
01:10:45I wasn't talking
01:10:45about you.
01:10:46Oh,

01:11:07tonight such
01:11:08a special evening.
01:11:10The holiday dance
01:11:11was one of my
01:11:12formative memories,
01:11:13so being able
01:11:13to bring it back
01:11:14this year
01:11:14has brought me
01:11:15so much joy.
01:11:17Now,
01:11:17I hear tell
01:11:19of an American tradition,
01:11:20the homecoming
01:11:22king and queen.
01:11:24So I thought
01:11:25that we could
01:11:26start our own
01:11:27tradition here
01:11:28tonight.
01:11:29So,

01:12:36She is going to remember
01:12:37that for the rest of her life.
01:12:38That tradition has to say,
01:12:40if you're here next year,
01:12:40I'm going to be here
01:12:42all year,

01:12:48I want to be with my family.
01:12:50and I want to be with you,
01:12:52whatever that looks like.
01:12:58I want that too.
01:13:03But I can't...
01:13:06I can't ask you
01:13:07to leave your family
01:13:10or this place.
01:13:13and I can't abandon
01:13:14my family
01:13:15or my duty.
01:13:16No, I would never
01:13:18ask you to leave your family
01:13:19or stop being a princess.
01:13:20No, I know you're not
01:13:21asking me to,
01:13:21but I...
01:13:25The time we've shared,
01:13:28it's freed me.
01:13:30It's changed me.
01:13:33And you'll always hold
01:13:34a dear peace
01:13:35in my heart.
01:13:37Huntley,
01:13:38I...
01:13:52If I ever came to you,
01:13:55would you come around?
01:13:59If I ever let you in,
01:14:02would you let me down?
01:14:06If I ran up to your garden,
01:14:09unblinded roots deep in the ground,
01:14:13If I ever came to you,
01:14:15Merry Christmas, Huntley.
01:14:16Would you come around?
01:14:18Merry Christmas.
01:14:20If I ever came to you,
01:14:23would you come around?
01:14:26If the winter winds
01:14:28left magic all around?
01:14:33If we let love lift us up,
01:14:37would the stars come falling down?
01:14:40If I ever came to you,
01:14:43would it come around?
01:14:47Cause you're my highest hope
01:14:50in the valley
01:14:52You ready to go home?
01:14:56I don't know.
01:14:59Do you want to say goodbye?
01:15:05I'm not sure I want goodbye
01:15:07to be our last memory.
01:15:09Please never let me go
01:15:14If I ever came to you,
01:15:17would you come around?
01:15:21If I let you in,
01:15:24I'll let you lay me down?
01:15:28Ooh,
01:15:29would you know me better
01:15:31than I've ever known myself?
01:15:35If I ever came to you,
01:15:38would you come around?
01:15:40would you come around?
01:15:42Oh,
01:15:43would you come around?
01:15:45would you come around?
01:15:49Oh,
01:15:50you forgot this.
01:16:05So,
01:16:06once the public has entered,
01:16:08Mother 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.
01:16:14Huh.
01:16:16Being away has given you
01:16:17a newfound confidence.
01:16:20Thank you for allowing me
01:16:21the 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?
01:16:47Oh.
01:16:48Yes, I...
01:16:50I just remembered something
01:16:52that I left behind.
01:16:55Mother?
01:16:56Darling.
01:16:57Mother.
01:16:58Welcome home.
01:17:00And, uh,
01:17:02was the dance
01:17:03everything you wanted it to be?
01:17:04Oh,
01:17:05it was everything
01:17:06and more.
01:17:07Much, much more,
01:17:08if you count the cowboy.
01:17:10Mother,
01:17:11I mentioned that to you
01:17:13in confidence.
01:17:14And I told that
01:17:15to you in confidence.
01:17:16Well, uh, uh, uh.
01:17:20The cowboy's name is Huntley.
01:17:22Hmm?
01:17:22He's the proprietor's son.
01:17:24Oh,
01:17:25I see.
01:17:26And, uh,
01:17:28will he be visiting
01:17:29any time soon?
01:17:31Oh,
01:17:31no, no.
01:17:32Uh,
01:17:33I'm so busy here
01:17:34with my duties
01:17:35and he is now
01:17:36taking over the ranch,
01:17:37so...
01:17:39I've missed you both dearly.
01:17:42Victoria,
01:17:43I can see that being away
01:17:45has been good for you.
01:17:46Forgive the interruption.
01:17:48The guests have arrived.
01:17:58Merry Christmas, everyone.
01:18:01It is an honour
01:18:02to be back
01:18:03for the final lighting
01:18:04and for what I consider
01:18:06to be
01:18:07the most important
01:18:08advent candle,
01:18:09the one that represents love.
01:18:21If you'll excuse me,
01:18:22I...
01:18:25I had a speech prepared,
01:18:26but
01:18:27I'd like to speak
01:18:29from the heart.
01:18:33At this time of year,
01:18:34we're surrounded
01:18:35by Christmas cheer
01:18:36and love,
01:18:38love that takes
01:18:39many forms,
01:18:41old 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
01:18:57resilience.
01:18:59But I think
01:19:00the love that fills us
01:19:02the most
01:19:04is the love that
01:19:06you never expect
01:19:09the love that
01:19:10surprises us.
01:19:15My wish,
01:19:16my one Christmas wish,
01:19:19is that everyone
01:19:20could experience
01:19:22that kind
01:19:22of love.
01:19:42early Christmas.
01:19:44I know you're hungry.
01:19:45Are you still making
01:19:46that same mistake?
01:19:47The name's Charlie.
01:19:49Charlie.
01:19:52Hi.
01:19:57You're back.
01:19:59Well,
01:20:00I heard you were
01:20:01a popular
01:20:01Christmas destination.
01:20:05That's true.
01:20:07You know,
01:20:08one time we had
01:20:08a real live princess
01:20:09stay here.
01:20:10Really?
01:20:12Brought back
01:20:13the holiday dance,
01:20:14too.
01:20:15The maverick.
01:20:16Yeah.
01:20:17She even insisted
01:20:18in cutting down
01:20:19a balsam fur.
01:20:21sounds a bit
01:20:22presumptuous.
01:20:22It was a little bit,
01:20:23yeah.
01:20:24But, um,
01:20:25in her defense,
01:20:27it was the perfect tree.
01:20:28Well,
01:20:29she sounds like
01:20:30the most amazing
01:20:31person ever.
01:20:33She was.
01:20:35It was devastating
01:20:36when she left.
01:20:38I'm sure she felt
01:20:39the same way, too.
01:20:41What are you doing?
01:20:43Well,
01:20:43I realized
01:20:44I forgot
01:20:44my wooden tree topper.
01:20:49But more importantly,
01:20:52I realized
01:20:53that I was running
01:20:54from the one thing
01:20:54I want most.
01:20:59Why don't you
01:21:00give up your title?
01:21:02Not exactly.
01:21:03As it happens,
01:21:04there is someone
01:21:05better suited
01:21:06for the role.
