Transcript
00:00:00Hallmark Channel presents a 2021 Countdown to Christmas all-new original movie.
00:00:12Sleigh bells ring, are you listening?
00:00:15Boop.
00:00:16In the lane, snow is glistening.
00:00:19Hello, party people.
00:00:20Oh, I didn't even watch the drape.
00:00:22Sorry.
00:00:23I'll take those lab sponges in five, Dr. Navarro.
00:00:25I'm on it.
00:00:26How's the patient, Ernie?
00:00:27Visions of sugar plums.
00:00:29All right, well, a link to Christmas, that seems appropriate.
00:00:33Who's playing DJ today?
00:00:34It's this season, Dr. Reynolds.
00:00:36I thought it would get us all in the Christmas spirit.
00:00:38Well, it is a season for miracles.
00:00:41Good to go.
00:00:42Okay.
00:00:43Calling all elves.
00:00:44It's showtime.
00:00:52Great work in there, Doc.
00:00:53Never seen it done better.
00:00:55Thanks, Ernie.
00:00:56Merry Christmas.
00:00:57Yeah, you too.
00:00:58Thanks.
00:01:22There you are.
00:01:23Hey, Mom.
00:01:24Hi, honey.
00:01:25Quite an afternoon, your nephew and I.
00:01:28It was gingerbread house day.
00:01:30Whoa, cutting it close this year, huh?
00:01:32Heinrich?
00:01:33Come, show her.
00:01:34Here, Angie.
00:01:35Take a look.
00:01:36Hey, buddy.
00:01:37Oh, sweet.
00:01:38You know what that would go for in today's market?
00:01:40I think you should be an architect.
00:01:41We all flew in yesterday.
00:01:43So are you coming home, or is it work again this year?
00:01:47Hey, how's the adoption going?
00:01:49We still don't know yet.
00:01:51Without a good attorney, it's been a nightmare these past months.
00:01:54Kristen, why didn't you tell me that you were going through that?
00:01:57Maybe if you called once in a while.
00:01:59That is not fair.
00:02:00You know how much I'm working at the hospital right now.
00:02:02Look, I wish there was a way that I could help you,
00:02:04and I wish I could be there with you guys this year.
00:02:06Honey, this is the second year in a row that you haven't come home for Christmas.
00:02:10Hey, Mom, I know, but you know how complicated things are to get away from work.
00:02:15No, I don't, but family is very important.
00:02:18I know that, Mom.
00:02:20Do you really, honey?
00:02:22Please, there is plenty of room, there's plenty of food.
00:02:25Aunt Mert is having her annual holiday party, bigger than ever this time.
00:02:30I'm sorry, I'm on call this year. I can only get as far as my apartment.
00:02:33Please, even just for one day.
00:02:35Yes, if anything changes, you will be the first to know, Mom.
00:02:38Okay, give my love to everyone.
00:02:40Love you, bye, bye, bye, bye.
00:02:44Hey.
00:02:45Hey.
00:02:46You know I'm on Christmas? I thought you cleared your calendar.
00:02:48No, Richardson has me on call, which is great.
00:02:50I just want a quiet week in Yonkers alone.
00:02:53Alone? When you could be home?
00:02:55It's not the same. Mom's still dealing with the divorce.
00:02:58And it's so heartbreaking watching her go through it.
00:03:00It's been a while, hasn't it?
00:03:02It has. Dad's in Arizona, you know, starting a new life.
00:03:05My sister and I, we're not on the same wavelength.
00:03:08It's hard. I get it. Families are complicated.
00:03:11Do you at least have time for a drink before you head home? A toast to the holidays?
00:03:15Don't have to ask me twice.
00:03:20Oh my gosh, I had surgery today.
00:03:26Well, here's to a quiet Christmas, if that's what you really want.
00:03:30Please, Santa, it's all I've asked for.
00:03:33Did he get your list this year?
00:03:35It was high time to think about it. He'll take my chances.
00:03:39Although, I wouldn't mind finding him under my tree.
00:03:43Tyler?
00:03:44Tyler Grant, my sports commentator on TV.
00:03:47When do you like sports?
00:03:48Since never, but I love hearing him talk.
00:03:51Tyler loves his fans.
00:03:53Wait, do you know him?
00:03:54Yeah, Neil, years ago.
00:03:56You know that catchphrase of his?
00:03:58When you can't get enough sports, I've got more.
00:04:00I gave that to him.
00:04:02This I got here.
00:04:03Well, it was when I was interning at Mount Sinai.
00:04:06And I guess he'd been playing hockey, came in with a concussion, needed a doctor.
00:04:09I've seen that movie, Sandra Bullock and Somebody.
00:04:12Right?
00:04:13Yeah, we dated for a few months, and then he asked to meet my parents one Christmas.
00:04:18And?
00:04:19And I didn't realize it, but it was so he could get their blessing and propose.
00:04:24Tell me you said yes.
00:04:26No, I don't think so.
00:04:28So what?
00:04:29He never popped the question?
00:04:31Oh, no, he did. I turned him down.
00:04:33You what?
00:04:34I don't know.
00:04:35You're the one who needed the doctor.
00:04:37I mean, look at the guy.
00:04:39You know, it was like the last really good Christmas before everything changed.
00:04:44My mom and dad were still together, and my sister and I were inseparable.
00:04:48It was great. We were like a real bonded family.
00:04:52That's so sweet.
00:04:54Okay, but back to Mr. Sports.
00:04:56Why did you say no?
00:04:58I don't know. The timing wasn't right.
00:05:00I was in med school, and he was breaking into network news.
00:05:03We took a break for a while, and then we just decided.
00:05:06The moment had passed.
00:05:08See about that.
00:05:09What are you doing?
00:05:10I'm checking his status.
00:05:11Maybe there's still time for you to find him and plead temporary insanity.
00:05:15Okay, you're in luck. He's not married, but he's in a, quote, serious relationship, unquote.
00:05:20Look.
00:05:21Oh, they're still together. That's nice.
00:05:23You knew about this?
00:05:25Well, whoever she is, she's not nearly good enough for him.
00:05:28Sabrina, she speaks five languages, has two master's degrees, and a book in the top ten last year.
00:05:33I think she's doing just fine.
00:05:35I mean, I'm just guessing.
00:05:38Hmm. So you've been keeping tabs?
00:05:40I don't have to. He's everywhere. He's hosting the World Series, the Bowl Games, he's co-hosting the next Olympics.
00:05:46He's stalking me.
00:05:48Why are we still in love with you?
00:05:50That was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
00:05:53I can't turn back time.
00:05:55He even got a new puppy. Look at this guy.
00:05:58What? Okay, Tyler did not even like dogs before he met mine.
00:06:01Oh, boomer. I miss that dog.
00:06:04Angie?
00:06:06Ben!
00:06:07Hey!
00:06:08What are you doing here?
00:06:10Oh, my firm's just up the street.
00:06:12What? I thought you were in Boston.
00:06:14No, my company moved me to Manhattan. Yeah, last summer.
00:06:17Wait, last summer? You've been here all this time?
00:06:20Yes. You know, I've been meaning to give you a call.
00:06:25Hi, I'm Sabrina. I'm introducing myself because as soon as you showed up, she forgot I existed.
00:06:31Sorry, I'm just surprised to see you, is all.
00:06:34Yeah, Ben Lee. Angie and I grew up together.
00:06:37Yeah, we were practically family.
00:06:39Yeah.
00:06:40Yeah.
00:06:41I heard that your sister's having some trouble adopting.
00:06:45Something about the bio-dad's parents?
00:06:48Oh, yeah. I don't know. You know more than I do.
00:06:52Wait, corporate law? I thought family law is what you always wanted to do.
00:06:57Yeah, that's true. I wish I had.
00:06:59But, you know, I don't mean the money is good, so...
00:07:02Well, you're a corporate attorney. I work with Angie at the hospital. Neurosurgery.
00:07:07Oh, I'm impressed.
00:07:09That's why I said it.
00:07:13Well, hey, I'm here with some friends from work and it's very casual, so can I buy you ladies a drink?
00:07:20Oh, I wish. I have to go if I'm going to make the 10.50.
00:07:24But I'd love to, if that's okay.
00:07:26Sure. Yeah, please.
00:07:29It was good to see you.
00:07:32Merry Christmas.
00:07:33Merry Christmas, bud.
00:07:34Bye, sweetie.
00:07:47Hey, you. You.
00:07:48Me?
00:07:49Yeah, you.
00:07:52Oh, thank you.
00:07:54I need a ticket to Yonkers. The machine line is so long and my phone app isn't working, so...
00:07:59Phones these days. Tricky things. Not like the old days when phones just made calls.
00:08:05Uh-huh. So I'm trying to make the 10.15.
00:08:08Ah, the last express to Yonkers.
00:08:11Yeah, right. So if you could just help me out. Here you go. Thank you.
00:08:15That's what I'm here for. To help you out.
00:08:19Oh.
00:08:21Headed home for the holidays?
00:08:23Uh, no. Just a quiet one by myself. It's what I want.
00:08:27Funny thing. Sometimes what we want is not what we need.
00:08:32But they say the magic of Christmas will find you wherever you are.
00:08:39They say that? Okay.
00:08:40The 10.15.
00:08:42Yep.
00:08:44Oh, gosh. I don't... Can I make that?
00:08:46You still have plenty of time.
00:08:48Well, I...
00:08:49Huh. That's so weird.
00:08:52I could swear...
00:08:53Oh, please don't. Not this close to Christmas.
00:08:58People are in such a hurry lately. Running here, rushing there.
00:09:03Don't they know that this is a time to slow things down?
00:09:09Appreciate the world around you.
00:09:13Here you go.
00:09:14Oh, wow. That's very fancy.
00:09:16Oh, this is a round trip. I just needed the one way.
00:09:19No charge. Merry Christmas.
00:09:23Okay.
00:09:25Enjoy your trip.
00:09:29He really is everywhere.
00:09:33Thank you, please.
00:09:34Yeah, here you go.
00:09:35What's this?
00:09:36Some sort of holiday promotion, I think.
00:09:38You'd think the main office would tell us these things.
00:09:42Here you go.
00:09:43Thanks.
00:09:45Here you go.
00:09:46Merry Christmas.
00:10:14What the...
00:10:17Did you miss me?
00:10:18Oh, ow. Okay. Remind me to never do that again.
00:10:21Tyler Grant?
00:10:22The donuts you asked for from the breakfast car? Santa specials?
00:10:27Didn't expect me back so soon, I guess.
00:10:30Tyler?
00:10:31I wasn't gone that long.
00:10:32I'm so sorry. What is this?
00:10:34Well, this is breakfast.
00:10:35Although I imagine your parents have a more elaborate plan for that, given all you've told me about.
00:10:39Something about your dad's French toast?
00:10:41My dad's in Arizona.
00:10:43I don't think so.
00:10:44We called you this morning when we were leaving Manhattan.
00:10:46Like you and me, we?
00:10:47Like you and me, we.
00:10:52Whoa, what is that for?
00:10:53Wow, that kiss felt incredibly real.
00:10:56Yeah, well, I should hope so.
00:10:59Wait, wait, wait. Sorry.
00:11:01Just give me a minute. A second.
00:11:03Oh, gosh.
00:11:04Don't move. Just stay right there. I will be right back, I think. I don't know.
00:11:08I can't promise that both of these donuts will be here when you get back.
00:11:11Oh, my God. I'm losing it.
00:11:17You! You! What are you doing here?
00:11:20Having a cup of cocoa.
00:11:23But you're the one who sold me the ticket.
00:11:26Oh, I think I remember that.
00:11:29No, it's the uniforms. We all look the same in these.
00:11:32Well, then you have a twin.
00:11:34Must be a handsome fella.
00:11:36Must be a handsome fella.
00:11:38Okay, well, whoever you are, I'm not where I was.
00:11:42I'm not where I'm supposed to be.
00:11:44I mean, this isn't the train that I got on. This one is old.
00:11:47I didn't even know these things were running still.
00:11:50Besides, there's a guy in the next car that I haven't seen in ten years.
00:11:55Is he bothering you?
00:11:57Well, no. Yes. Uh, no.
00:11:59But he's supposed to be on TV, and he has donuts.
00:12:02That's not a crime.
00:12:05Santa's specials.
00:12:09It's Christmas.
00:12:13I haven't had one of those in, like...
00:12:15Ten years?
00:12:16Yes, exactly.
00:12:19When Tyler bought them for me on a train ride home in 2011.
00:12:23Wait a second. How did you know that?
00:12:26This...
00:12:29This isn't my phone.
00:12:30No?
00:12:31No, but it has a signal.
00:12:33Oh, gosh.
00:12:36Hi, it's Dr. Reynolds.
00:12:37Who?
00:12:38Angie Reynolds, neurology.
00:12:39Do you have the right number?
00:12:40Uh, yes, I have the right number.
00:12:41Um, can I speak with Dr. Navarro, please?
00:12:43Can you spell that for me, please?
00:12:45N-A-V-A...
00:12:47I've never heard of her.
00:12:48Yes. What do you mean, you've never heard of her?
00:12:50Is she from this hospital?
00:12:51Yes, from this hospital.
00:12:53Oh.
00:12:55Oh, would you look at the time.
00:12:58Oh, man.
00:13:00Next stop, Shepard's Ferry.
00:13:03My...
00:13:05My hometown?
00:13:07We're in Connecticut?
00:13:08You might want to gather your things and find a seat.
00:13:11No, no, no, no. I don't want to find a seat.
00:13:13I want to go home. I want to go back to New York City.
00:13:15Oh, well, you need a return ticket for that.
00:13:20Well, you need a return ticket for that.
00:13:23Oh, well, as it happens, you sold me one.
00:13:25Well, I guess it wasn't you. It was your twin.
00:13:28Anyway...
00:13:30Well, something seems to be missing.
00:13:33Missing?
00:13:34No return.
00:13:37Can't get home without it.
00:13:39I can.
00:13:46Sorry about the donuts.
00:13:48Kenzie, I didn't warn you, though.
00:13:50We were slowing down.
00:13:52Yeah, it's easier to get off the train that way.
00:13:54Shepard's Ferry, next stop.
00:13:57Shepard's Ferry, next stop.
00:14:00You'll never get home if you miss this stop.
00:14:05Shepard's Ferry.
00:14:08Oh, cute town. Just like you said, love that Christmas tree.
00:14:12Yeah, we used to spend every Christmas Eve there for the lighting of the star.
00:14:16It's a family tradition.
00:14:18But they built a mini mall there years ago.
00:14:21Apparently not.
00:14:22Yes, they did. There hasn't been a tree there since...
00:14:252011.
00:14:27So, this year?
00:14:29Are you okay?
00:14:31I'm not sure...
00:14:33of anything.
00:14:35Okay, well, I'm gonna get our coats.
00:14:37Oh.
00:14:38I'll be right back.
00:14:40What in the world is happening?
00:14:43Christmas, of course.
00:14:45Enjoy it while it lasts.
00:14:56Angie.
00:14:57Angie.
00:14:58Hey.
00:14:59Hey, sweetheart.
00:15:01So good to see you, sweetheart.
00:15:03Oh, my.
00:15:04What'd I do to deserve such a big hug?
00:15:05You're home.
00:15:06Of course I'm home.
00:15:07You saw me here three weeks ago for my birthday.
00:15:09Where else would I go?
00:15:10Arizona?
00:15:11No, thank you.
00:15:13You okay, babe?
00:15:14Oh, I just missed you so much.
00:15:16Hey, Tyler Grant, sir.
00:15:18The famous TV sports reporter we've heard so much about.
00:15:21Only local so far, but...
00:15:23I'm doing my best, Mr. Reynolds.
00:15:24Well, it's nice to meet you, son.
00:15:25Please, call me George.
00:15:26You got it.
00:15:27You sure you're okay?
00:15:28Oh, it's the holidays.
00:15:29This one's a softie.
00:15:30Don't I know it.
00:15:31Think we should call ahead and warn her mom, or what?
00:15:34Dad.
00:15:35Hey, guys.
00:15:36My car's right over here.
00:15:37You ready?
00:15:38Yeah.
00:15:39Hey, did I hear you were at the World Series this year?
00:15:41Oh, yeah, for the St. Louis win.
00:15:43Hocker room celebration.
00:15:44You know, you should join me.
00:15:47This one's a keeper, Angie.
00:15:48I couldn't dream up anyone better.
00:15:53Get your stuff upstairs.
00:15:55You guys, just make yourselves at home.
00:15:57Wow, Angie told me you had the perfect Christmas house.
00:15:59Everything but the tree.
00:16:00Saving that for you two.
00:16:02Do you have some broken lights on these strings, though?
00:16:04Maybe you can help me fix them later?
00:16:05We can talk some football?
00:16:06Yeah.
00:16:08You happy to be home?
00:16:09You have no idea.
00:16:13No running in the house.
00:16:15Don't, Peter.
00:16:16It's Christmas.
00:16:17Let him go.
00:16:18I owe it.
00:16:20Oh, honey.
00:16:23Hi, sis.
00:16:24Welcome home.
00:16:25Oh, he found the dog before I could wrap it.
00:16:27You must be the boyfriend.
00:16:28If I'm not, this is going to be a very awkward visit.
00:16:32Tyler, this is my sister Kristen and her husband Peter.
00:16:35And that blur was Henrik back when he was four.
00:16:38Back when he was four?
00:16:41Mom, look at you.
00:16:43Oh, no, no, no.
00:16:45Don't.
00:16:46I have been baking gingerbread for tomorrow.
00:16:48Gingerbread house day.
00:16:49Made the whole house smell like Christmas.
00:16:51We did it every year.
00:16:53You make it sound like ancient history.
00:16:55Mom, this is Tyler.
00:16:57Tyler, this is my mom.
00:16:59Mrs. Reynolds.
00:17:00Call me Evelyn, or there's a good chance I will not answer you.
00:17:03Okay, then.
00:17:04Evelyn.
00:17:05Oh, Boomer.
00:17:08Oh, Boomer.
00:17:10You're alive.
00:17:12These two were inseparable until she went to med school.
00:17:15But now he's all mine.
00:17:17What is he, a bulldog?
00:17:19A rescue of the best kind.
00:17:21Hey, fella.
00:17:25I'm not much of a dog person, but this guy's terrific.
00:17:29Maybe you'll get your own one day.
00:17:31Well, we just got to get you two settled in,
00:17:33and your mom's come up with a little list for us.
00:17:35We've got tree shopping, Santa, of course,
00:17:38and then the big town Christmas Eve sing-along.
00:17:41A town tradition where they light the Christmas star
00:17:44on the tree in front of the train station.
00:17:46Oh, I've heard.
00:17:47And every dull moment come December.
00:17:49And Aunt Mert's party.
00:17:50Bigger than ever, she says, but then...
00:17:52She always said that!
00:17:54Uh, Myrtle Conway, no relation,
00:17:56but everyone in town calls her Aunt Mert.
00:17:58You'll love her.
00:17:59We'll have your room upstairs, so hurry up and get ready.
00:18:01We've got lots to do.
00:18:10Your family's great.
00:18:11Say that in a few days.
00:18:13I bet I will.
00:18:14Yeah.
00:18:15I bet you will, too.
00:18:16Hey, if we're going tree shopping, I need to change.
00:18:19Right, uh, second door on the left,
00:18:21and I'll meet you downstairs.
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:25Guys, cool.
00:18:26Tyler Grant?
00:18:28Wow.
00:18:30Everything okay?
00:18:32I thought she changed this to a crafts room for her pottery.
00:18:35Since when has Mom been into pottery?
00:18:38I just meant I thought she maybe found another use for it,
00:18:40that's all.
00:18:41Never.
00:18:42She has this idea that she'll become a successful doctor
00:18:46and still find a way to move back in.
00:18:48How? All my patients are in Manhattan.
00:18:50Will, will, will be in Manhattan.
00:18:52I imagine.
00:18:54How's Peter?
00:18:55He looks great.
00:18:56And Henrik?
00:18:57Growing like a weed since you last saw him.
00:19:00Of course, that's been a while.
00:19:02So tell me about Tyler.
00:19:04Oh, well, he's all about sports 24-7.
00:19:06I mean, he's co-hosting the next Olympics.
00:19:09Sometime in the future, I would imagine.
00:19:12Is it love?
00:19:14I mean, he's very handsome, kind, funny,
00:19:16on the brink of a major career.
00:19:18What the heck was I thinking?
00:19:20You have doubts?
00:19:21Yeah, but for the life of me, I cannot think why.
00:19:25When he proposes this time...
00:19:29Ignore me. I don't know what I'm saying.
00:19:31Clearly.
00:19:32Kristen, this is going to be the best Christmas.
00:19:35If I could pick one from all the holidays we've spent,
00:19:37I'd pick this one.
00:19:39You just got here.
00:19:41Yeah, but I can feel it.
00:19:42Can't you?
00:19:43Everything's perfect.
00:19:45Everyone's happy.
00:19:47Sure.
00:19:49Just the way that it was supposed to be.
00:19:51Anyway, first thing on Mom's list is that tree.
00:19:55Not till Angie gets here.
00:19:57Henrik's so excited.
00:19:59Yeah, let me just change real quick,
00:20:01and I'll be right down.
00:20:06Okay, keep it together, Angie.
00:20:09Oh, my God, you could wake up at any minute now.
00:20:11Okay.
00:20:12So enjoy it.
00:20:22Where have I seen this before?
00:20:27Smile, everybody.
00:20:29Look like you're having a good time.
00:20:31We are having a good time, Peter.
00:20:33Hey, is that a new tablet?
00:20:35Early Christmas gift from Kristen,
00:20:37so we can capture every moment.
00:20:39And he means every moment.
00:20:41It's okay to put that down every now and then, honey.
00:20:43Hi, everyone, I want us to find the perfect tree,
00:20:46so I think we should split up and cover more territory.
00:20:48I'll head over this way.
00:20:50You want me to go with you?
00:20:51I mean, we're supposed to do this together, right?
00:20:53Yeah.
00:20:54No, no, I think it's best if we make this a solo mission.
00:20:57Father is so stubborn.
00:20:59He has to find the perfect tree.
00:21:01They all look the same
00:21:02once they have the ornaments on them, right?
00:21:04I agree.
00:21:05I better go with him,
00:21:06otherwise we'll be here telling him your seat.
00:21:08Look, look, it's Santa's workshop.
00:21:10Can you take me?
00:21:11Yeah, is that okay, you guys?
00:21:12Of course.
00:21:13Feel free.
00:21:14We've already seen three of Santa's other helpers this season.
00:21:16Lovely for you.
00:21:20Good friend Henrik.
00:21:21Santa!
00:21:22You come to tell Santa what you want for Christmas?
00:21:25I want a baby brother or a sister.
00:21:27That's all I got.
00:21:28Oh, that is a tall order on short notice.
00:21:32How about a race car?
00:21:35How about that?
00:21:36I'd rather have a baby brother.
00:21:38Oh, well, Santa will see what he can do.
00:21:42But in the meantime,
00:21:44how about a candy cane?
00:21:49Of course.
00:21:50Awesome.
00:21:52Aw, not so fast, you two.
00:21:54Who's next?
00:21:55Oh, we're just here for Henrik.
00:21:56Oh, no, no, no.
00:21:57I think someone else might need
00:21:58some of your attention here, Santa.
00:22:00Tyler!
00:22:01Oh, yes.
00:22:02Well, young lady,
00:22:03what would you like for Christmas?
00:22:07Ben?
00:22:09Or did you say you want Ben for Christmas?
00:22:13That's right.
00:22:14You were Santa that year, this year.
00:22:16Don't blow my cover.
00:22:17Don't make me catch cry again.
00:22:18Sorry.
00:22:19Anyway, what would you like in your stocking?
00:22:22Well, I already got a Christmas gift this year,
00:22:24and it's a real juicy, let me tell you.
00:22:26Could you maybe put in a good word for me, Santa?
00:22:29Oh, Tyler, this is Ben.
00:22:30Ben, this is Tyler.
00:22:32Oh, um, you know, I'll have to check.
00:22:35He might be on Santa's naughty list.
00:22:38But you, you get a candy cane.
00:22:44Sir, are you serious, sir?
00:22:47Beg your pardon.
00:22:48There we go.
00:22:49What do you think?
00:22:51All right.
00:22:52See this, Tyler?
00:22:53This is what I'm talking about.
00:22:55That's great.
00:22:56Pretty good.
00:22:57Hey, what's the deal with Angie and Santa back there?
00:23:01Ben?
00:23:02Friend of the family.
00:23:03They grew up together.
00:23:04Oh.
00:23:05And was Angie's first kiss right here?
00:23:07He's coming over later to help decorate.
00:23:09Great.
00:23:10So this is the one that I was thinking about.
00:23:12Do you have thoughts that you want to share?
00:23:14Oh, my gosh.
00:23:15Oh, my gosh.
00:23:16Angie.
00:23:17Hi, Chloe.
00:23:18Oh, hi.
00:23:19Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:23:21Merry Christmas.
00:23:22Oh, this is Chloe.
00:23:23This is Aunt Mert's granddaughter.
00:23:25Hi.
00:23:26I'm so surprised to see you here.
00:23:28I, yeah, with such handsome company.
00:23:31This is Tyler Grant, and you know, everyone else.
00:23:34Nice to meet you.
00:23:35Nice to meet you, too.
00:23:36Oh, were you guys looking at this tree, too?
00:23:38Oh, yeah.
00:23:39Oh, no, I mean, if you want to take it, you can take it.
00:23:41No, no, it's fine.
00:23:42Honestly, it's for Aunt Mert's party,
00:23:44and it might not be big enough.
00:23:45You know how she is.
00:23:46Anyway, but Ben is here, and he's keeping
00:23:48an eye out for the best tree.
00:23:49So I'm just going to let him handle it
00:23:51when he's done playing Santa.
00:23:52You guys can have this tree.
00:23:53Just have it.
00:23:54It's really a beautiful one.
00:23:55And I'll see you later.
00:23:57Merry Christmas.
00:23:58Bye.
00:23:59All right, Teddy, my boy.
00:24:01Let's wrap this up.
00:24:03Bring her home.
00:24:04Joy to the world, the Lord is come.
00:24:11What do you think?
00:24:12Should this be an earring?
00:24:13Earring?
00:24:15It's so nice.
00:24:16It's a necklace.
00:24:17It's OK.
00:24:19It's good, right?
00:24:20That's nice.
00:24:27Where does he even Santa over there had a thing back when?
00:24:30What?
00:24:31Oh, Ben?
00:24:32No, no thing.
00:24:34Something about a first kiss?
00:24:35Oh, yeah.
00:24:36We were 11.
00:24:37There's a lot more tooth than lip.
00:24:41That seems like he's part of the family.
00:24:43Yeah, his grandmother raised him,
00:24:45so my parents are like his parents.
00:24:53Tyler, you're not jealous, are you?
00:24:55Me?
00:24:56Come on, no way.
00:25:00All right, everybody, let's see what we got.
00:25:02Let's count down.
00:25:033, 2, 1.
00:25:09Now all it needs is the ornaments.
00:25:11Henrik, you get to hang the first one.
00:25:13Good job, boys.
00:25:14OK, where's this guy going?
00:25:17Right, yeah.
00:25:18Yeah.
00:25:20Perfect.
00:25:23Yeah.
00:25:24Nice work.
00:25:26I see you're a very good boy, so you'll get your fire engine.
00:25:29You see, I told you to get me one.
00:25:31Mm-hmm.
00:25:32Yes, dear.
00:25:33Well, look, you wait right over there.
00:25:34Mommy wants to thank Santa, too.
00:25:38What do you mean by saying a thing like that?
00:25:40Hey, Dad, there's plenty of room on the couch
00:25:42over here next to Mom.
00:25:43Oh, it's OK.
00:25:44Mom's comfortable right here.
00:25:47Are you sure?
00:25:48You know, you two always liked it.
00:25:51Leave him be, Angie.
00:25:53I've got Bora to keep me warm.
00:25:55Go on, Ed boy.
00:25:58I'm good, too.
00:25:59Look at my magazine.
00:26:14What?
00:26:15Was that it?
00:26:26Having a good holiday?
00:26:27I'm so sorry.
00:26:28I don't understand what's happening.
00:26:30You don't need to understand it.
00:26:32You need to appreciate it.
00:26:34Oh, I do.
00:26:35I appreciate it so much.
00:26:36But this ends now, right?
00:26:38I mean, we both know this Christmas can't last forever.
00:26:41Am I right?
00:26:42You want to go back to New York?
00:26:43Yes, I do.
00:26:44What's the hurry?
00:26:46Uh, well, for one thing, it's 2011 here.
00:26:49And there's no way I'm going back to medical school.
00:26:51So if we could just turn this train around, that'd be great.
00:26:54Whatever you say.
00:26:58Ticket, please.
00:27:04Still blank?
00:27:06Well, I shall do without that ticket.
00:27:10Rules for the rails.
00:27:12So what do I do?
00:27:13You need to put things right before Christmas Eve, I'd imagine.
00:27:20That's the way these things usually work out.
00:27:25Taking Clark and all.
00:27:27Or what?
00:27:28Or what?
00:27:29I'm stuck here forever?
00:27:30OK, I have to put something right.
00:27:33Tyler's proposal.
00:27:34Wait, am I supposed to say yes this time?
00:27:36Because, you know, last time I said no, which just felt right,
00:27:38given where we were in our lives.
00:27:39But now, I don't know.
00:27:42Is that it?
00:27:43That's it.
00:27:44Shepherds, ferry!
00:27:48Next stop, shepherds!
00:27:52Shepherds, ferry!
00:27:55Shepherds, ferry!
00:28:22Wait a sec.
00:28:26There you go, buddy.
00:28:31Home!
00:28:33Where did you come from?
00:28:35The sun's barely up.
00:28:37What are you doing here?
00:28:38If I knew, I would tell you, honestly.
00:28:40Friend of yours?
00:28:41Oh, yeah, back from the repair shop.
00:28:44Freak walnut-cracking accident?
00:28:46You do not want to know.
00:28:48I'll take your word for it.
00:28:49And I'm here because I promised Aunt Myrda Tree impressive enough for a party.
00:28:52Uh-huh.
00:28:54Nothing yet, but there's another shipment coming, so we'll see.
00:28:57Is there something on your mind?
00:28:59Oh, so much.
00:29:00Okay, well, if you need a friendly ear, we've got time.
00:29:04It's going to sound absolutely crazy.
00:29:06Totally insane.
00:29:08Maybe that's what's happening.
00:29:09I've lost my mind.
00:29:11Okay, now you have my attention.
00:29:13You know what?
00:29:14We're not even close anymore.
00:29:15Because you moved from Boston to Manhattan, and you didn't even call me.
00:29:18What?
00:29:19Oh, I have to tell somebody.
00:29:21I have to tell somebody because...
00:29:23Wait a second.
00:29:24A train dropped me off here.
00:29:25Maybe that's a sign.
00:29:27I'm supposed to tell you.
00:29:29Angie, you can tell me anything.
00:29:30Remember when you parked the principal's motorcycle in his office?
00:29:33How did you do that, anyway?
00:29:35The car club did it.
00:29:36It was just my idea to take the handlebars off and then roll it in and put it back together in there.
00:29:40That's genius.
00:29:41I know, so great.
00:29:42My point is, who didn't turn you into the school police?
00:29:45This guy.
00:29:46Also, who didn't rat you out when you skipped class to go see Spider-Man?
00:29:49That's because you came with me.
00:29:50Right.
00:29:51Is this true?
00:29:52Well, because we have the same taste in movies.
00:29:54Yeah, and music, and ice cream.
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:56Well, except for your weird sprinkle obsession.
00:29:58What's your point?
00:29:59Don't talk about sprinkles.
00:30:00My point is, you can trust me.
00:30:03So, whatever you want to say, just blurt it out.
00:30:07I'm from the future.
00:30:08And you're here to terminate me?
00:30:10Ben, be serious.
00:30:11What? You started it.
00:30:12Listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth.
00:30:14It's totally true.
00:30:16I am from the future.
00:30:20And that's like a metaphor for...
00:30:23No, Ben, stay with me.
00:30:25Okay, I got on a train to Yonkers last night, and the year was 2021.
00:30:28Instead of Yonkers, it dropped me off here, and now.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:33This was a mistake.
00:30:35No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:30:36Wait, wait, hold on.
00:30:37Tell me again, slowly.
00:30:39And over food?
00:30:41You always think about food.
00:30:43Are you not hungry?
00:30:47Morning.
00:30:48Hey, Tyler.
00:30:49How'd you sleep?
00:30:50Oh, just fine.
00:30:54Boomer keeps following me around everywhere.
00:30:56He likes you.
00:30:58French toast?
00:30:59I hear it's world famous.
00:31:00Sure, yeah, hook me up.
00:31:02I haven't seen Angie yet.
00:31:03She's up and out already this morning.
00:31:05Always the early bird.
00:31:06Actually, that gives me a chance to ask you something.
00:31:09Oh, yeah?
00:31:10About being your daughter.
00:31:12And what might that be?
00:31:14Okay.
00:31:15Wait, hold on.
00:31:16Can we go back to the part where I'm the incredibly successful corporate lawyer in New York?
00:31:21I thought I was going to go on a family law.
00:31:23I know, but somewhere along the way that changes, and I don't know how.
00:31:27That's all I ever wanted to do.
00:31:29You know how important family is to me.
00:31:31I can't imagine changing my mind about that.
00:31:33Ben, I know how this sounds.
00:31:35God, I wish there was a way I could prove it.
00:31:37I mean...
00:31:39Show me your driver's license.
00:31:41Show me your driver's license.
00:31:43Is it a hologram?
00:31:45Are you about to pop up in 3D like Princess Leia?
00:31:48Come on, say, help me, Ben Lee.
00:31:51You're enjoying this, aren't you?
00:31:53It's ten years, Ben, not ten hundred.
00:31:55And no, I don't have it, because when I woke up here, everything was as it was.
00:31:59Like, look at this phone.
00:32:00And it's practically an antique.
00:32:02An antique?
00:32:03That's the latest model.
00:32:04That's newer than mine.
00:32:05Oh, wait.
00:32:06Yeah.
00:32:07Okay.
00:32:08There probably are a couple upgrades.
00:32:09Yeah, they get bigger.
00:32:10They get bigger.
00:32:11But that doesn't...
00:32:12Oh, thank you.
00:32:13Thanks.
00:32:14Well, let's get some food.
00:32:15Ooh, tell me when I'm in order.
00:32:17Ben, I don't remember everything.
00:32:19Do you remember what you had for breakfast ten years ago?
00:32:21Pancakes, bacon, orange juice.
00:32:24Okay.
00:32:25It's because I have that every morning.
00:32:27Orange juice.
00:32:28Well, the old you used to love that about me.
00:32:32Ooh, the New York Giants win the Super Bowl.
00:32:35No.
00:32:36Yep.
00:32:37No, against Brady and the Pats?
00:32:38No, they're undefeated.
00:32:40But it's not pretty.
00:32:41Trust me.
00:32:42Oh, so I'm supposed to wait around until then to see if you're right?
00:32:44Okay.
00:32:45We make gingerbread houses tonight.
00:32:46Yep.
00:32:47Your mom invited me over.
00:32:48But I knew that.
00:32:49Well, she always invites me over.
00:32:51That's no mystery.
00:32:52Wait a second.
00:32:53You choke on a gumdrop today, and I save your life.
00:32:55Well, I would hope so.
00:32:56You're in med school.
00:32:57That's like a job.
00:32:58Ben, it's not that I save your life.
00:33:01It's that I know that you choke.
00:33:03Oh, okay.
00:33:04Wait, what if I don't now that you told me?
00:33:05You will.
00:33:06Or will I?
00:33:07Yeah.
00:33:08I don't know.
00:33:09I think I have the power to change the future.
00:33:11Use it wisely.
00:33:15I put a lot of work into it, but, you know, I finally sent in my audition tape, and now I wait.
00:33:20It's national news, so even an interview would be amazing.
00:33:23I don't understand any of that, but I would certainly hire you if I had a network.
00:33:28Maybe I'll get one for Christmas, Mom.
00:33:30It's never too late.
00:33:31Perhaps.
00:33:32Eventually, I'm going to need a catchphrase.
00:33:33You know, something memorable, like, uh...
00:33:35When you can't get enough sports, I've got more.
00:33:38Hey, that's good.
00:33:39No, it's close, but...
00:33:42Why don't you think about it?
00:33:43It might grow on you.
00:33:45Hey, where's Dad?
00:33:46I don't know.
00:33:47He's around here somewhere.
00:33:48He's probably shoveling the sidewalk or cleaning the attic or something.
00:33:52He needs his alone time right now.
00:33:55And missing this?
00:33:56That's not like him.
00:33:57Your father's his own man.
00:33:59Don't ask me to explain him.
00:34:01Hey, does anyone want gumdrops?
00:34:04Gumdrop, anyone?
00:34:05They are delicious.
00:34:07No, we're good.
00:34:08Why don't you have one?
00:34:09Oh, maybe I will.
00:34:11No.
00:34:12No?
00:34:13Yes.
00:34:14Uh, no.
00:34:15Maybe later.
00:34:16What is that with you two?
00:34:17That's just Ben being Ben.
00:34:19He thinks he's funny.
00:34:20You always thought I was funny.
00:34:22The senior play, I can still hear you laughing.
00:34:24That's because your pants fell down during your big speech.
00:34:26Who knew George Washington had SpongeBob boxers?
00:34:29Okay.
00:34:30Okay, it was laundry day.
00:34:32Honestly, you guys.
00:34:34They've been like this forever.
00:34:36Yeah, please ignore him.
00:34:37Yes.
00:34:38Hey, how's it going, Henry?
00:34:39Good.
00:34:40Yeah?
00:34:41He's a one kid construction crew.
00:34:42Imagine what he could accomplish with a brother or sister.
00:34:44We all heard him ask Santa.
00:34:46Hey, bud.
00:34:47How about a candy cane fence?
00:34:50Ben, are you okay?
00:34:53I think he's choking.
00:34:55What are you choking on, Ben?
00:34:56What do we do?
00:34:57Hit him on the back?
00:34:58He's definitely choking.
00:34:59Gumdrops.
00:35:00The gumdrops?
00:35:01Put him on the back.
00:35:02Henry.
00:35:03Hit him on the back.
00:35:04No, I think you have to.
00:35:05Andy, Andy, Andy.
00:35:06Are you choking?
00:35:18That's a relief.
00:35:19Who could have seen that coming?
00:35:20Right?
00:35:21It's like you'd have to be from the future.
00:35:23Gross.
00:35:26I told you.
00:35:30Okay, so you have until Christmas Day, or what?
00:35:32You're stuck here?
00:35:33Well, you said Christmas Eve, but I think all I have to do to fix it is say yes tonight.
00:35:36Say yes to what?
00:35:37To Tyler's proposal last time I said no.
00:35:40You're saying...
00:35:41Oh, you don't know that yet?
00:35:42You're going to marry Tyler?
00:35:43I mean, are you sure that's what you want?
00:35:45What?
00:35:46Is that such a wild idea?
00:35:47Well, I kind of thought that...
00:35:48What?
00:35:49What'd you think?
00:35:50I thought that...
00:35:51Oh, oh, you and me.
00:35:53Oh, Ben.
00:35:54If everyone who loved Coldplay and lasagna wound up together.
00:35:56Besides, we tried dating.
00:35:59Well, you didn't really take it seriously.
00:36:01Are you joking me?
00:36:02You didn't take it seriously.
00:36:04We're friends now, Ben.
00:36:05That feels right.
00:36:06Right?
00:36:11Now that works for us, right, Ben?
00:36:16If you're worried, don't be.
00:36:18Oh, I...
00:36:19Oh.
00:36:20Not worried.
00:36:21Okay.
00:36:22But if you are...
00:36:23Sorry.
00:36:26Tyler Grant?
00:36:27Hey.
00:36:28Yeah, I've been hoping to hear from you.
00:36:29So you think the entire Christmas universe arranged all of this...
00:36:33Oh.
00:36:34...so you can come back and marry Tyler?
00:36:36Well, nothing else makes sense.
00:36:37And you think that makes sense?
00:36:38Yes.
00:36:39Tonight, he took me to Donovan.
00:36:41Well, no, sorry.
00:36:42He takes me to Don...
00:36:43You know what I mean.
00:36:44Yeah, expensive.
00:36:45I'm impressed.
00:36:46Or, like, I will be impressed.
00:36:47I have...
00:36:48I bet...
00:36:49Blah, blah.
00:36:50Now you have me doing it.
00:36:51So he's going to take me there, and he puts a ring in my champagne glass?
00:36:53Cliche, but...
00:36:54Sorry?
00:36:55I think it's sweet.
00:36:56I think it's sweet.
00:36:57So, I mean, I say yes, and then I think everything should just go back to normal.
00:37:00Sure.
00:37:01As if anything with you is ever normal.
00:37:03You see, this is why we never worked out.
00:37:14So, how was your meal?
00:37:16I mean, amazing.
00:37:17All seven courses.
00:37:18Gosh, I forgot how good the food was here.
00:37:20Have you been here before?
00:37:22No, I just mean from the reviews.
00:37:24You know what?
00:37:25I can honestly say I've only ever been here with you.
00:37:27Well, good.
00:37:28Because I want tonight to be special.
00:37:30Oh?
00:37:32I told you there was a reason for this dinner tonight.
00:37:34A surprise.
00:37:35Oh, I wonder what it could be.
00:37:40No, but seriously, what is it?
00:37:42Because this is just champagne.
00:37:43Yeah, to celebrate...
00:37:47My new job.
00:37:49Your what?
00:37:50Angie, they called me this afternoon while you were out in the snow with Santa.
00:37:53They loved my audition tapes, my interviews, my catchphrase.
00:37:57Well, your catchphrase.
00:37:58Yeah, no, I'm sure they did.
00:38:00You'll develop a whole show around it someday in the future.
00:38:04I'm going from local to national.
00:38:06I mean, can you believe it?
00:38:08I cannot.
00:38:09I'm very happy for you, Tyler.
00:38:11That's wonderful.
00:38:12There's only one catch.
00:38:13I do have to go to the city first thing tomorrow to seal the deal.
00:38:16You're leaving?
00:38:17Just for the day.
00:38:18But what a reason to celebrate, right?
00:38:21I mean, bet you didn't see that one coming tonight, huh?
00:38:24I did not.
00:38:25At all.
00:38:29Oh, that's good.
00:38:44Hey, honey.
00:38:45Tyler's packing upstairs.
00:38:46Is everything okay?
00:38:47Yeah, he got that job, the promotion that he wanted.
00:38:49He's got to go sign contracts, but he'll be back for Aunt Mart's party.
00:38:52He wouldn't want to miss that.
00:38:54And the sing-along.
00:38:55And the lighting of the star.
00:38:59Did you two have a nice time tonight?
00:39:03It wasn't exactly what I expected, but yeah, it was nice.
00:39:06I need your finger.
00:39:07Oh, good.
00:39:09Your sister just put Henrik to bed.
00:39:11That boy has so much energy.
00:39:14There were two of them.
00:39:16No, she's not.
00:39:17She can't be.
00:39:18No.
00:39:19Right, yeah.
00:39:23They've been trying for a long time.
00:39:25In vitro.
00:39:26She didn't tell you?
00:39:28No.
00:39:29Well, between you and me, it's not going so well.
00:39:32I'm sure she's just trying to find the right time to tell you.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:40How about you, Mom?
00:39:41Everything okay with you and Dad?
00:39:42Why do you ask?
00:39:43I don't know.
00:39:44He's very distant this year.
00:39:45He's always off doing something.
00:39:47Yeah.
00:39:48That's just him right now.
00:39:51You know, we'll be fine.
00:39:53This season brings up a lot of things and people.
00:40:06Look at that.
00:40:07Dreams we have when we're young just sometimes don't turn out the way we'd hoped.
00:40:14That's the dress in my closet.
00:40:16Yeah, I put some of my old things in there.
00:40:18I hope you don't mind.
00:40:19You look the same, Mom.
00:40:23Wouldn't it be nice if some things stayed the same?
00:40:27I love you, Mom.
00:40:31I love you.
00:40:33I love you.
00:40:38Where's Henrik?
00:40:39He's out like a light.
00:40:43I spoke to the doctor.
00:40:46You're only telling me this now?
00:40:48He called right before dinner.
00:40:49This is the first chance we've had to talk.
00:40:51Okay, and?
00:40:55The two remaining embryos didn't make it to day five.
00:40:59And those were all we had.
00:41:03So that's it?
00:41:04He wants us to come in after the holidays to discuss next steps.
00:41:08Oh, Peter.
00:41:10It feels like the end of the road.
00:41:12It's not the end.
00:41:14Not necessarily.
00:41:15It was so easy with Henrik.
00:41:17Why is it so hard now?
00:41:32You heard.
00:41:34I did not mean to eavesdrop.
00:41:35Kristen, I'm so sorry.
00:41:37So are we.
00:41:39I could have helped.
00:41:40I'm a doctor at a major Manhattan hospital with connections and relationships.
00:41:43You're only a med student.
00:41:46Right.
00:41:47My point is.
00:41:49Why didn't you tell me what you were going through?
00:41:52We've never had that kind of relationship.
00:41:54The sister thing.
00:41:56Where we do each other's hair.
00:41:58Talk about boys.
00:41:59Heartaches.
00:42:00All that.
00:42:02But that's not us.
00:42:04Come on, Angie.
00:42:06You've never taken the time to ask about my life.
00:42:08It's always been about yours.
00:42:09Which I admit is more interesting.
00:42:13Wow.
00:42:14That's really how you see me?
00:42:16I mean, if I was busy during med school and internship.
00:42:19There's a disconnect.
00:42:21Like with Tyler.
00:42:22If it hadn't been for mom.
00:42:24I wouldn't have known until you showed up with him.
00:42:27Right.
00:42:31Is he the one you think?
00:42:34He was gonna propose tonight.
00:42:35At least I thought he was.
00:42:36But he didn't?
00:42:38He didn't.
00:42:40Anyway.
00:42:41No.
00:42:42I'm not talking about you.
00:42:44I am gonna try really hard.
00:42:47Promise.
00:42:48To be a better sister.
00:42:53Maybe it's because of Ben.
00:42:55Why he didn't propose.
00:42:57He sees how you two are with each other.
00:43:00You think Tyler's jealous?
00:43:02It's pretty obvious.
00:43:04Ben's good looking.
00:43:06Funny.
00:43:07Single.
00:43:08He's fine.
00:43:09You've been friends forever.
00:43:10It wouldn't be a problem if he had a girlfriend.
00:43:12He doesn't.
00:43:16But he could.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:21Hopefully this tree will do.
00:43:22It's absolutely perfect.
00:43:23Ben.
00:43:24You remember Chloe?
00:43:25Of course.
00:43:26Hi.
00:43:27Hey.
00:43:28So.
00:43:29I hear we're dating.
00:43:30That is what Angie tells me.
00:43:32If that's okay with you.
00:43:33Oh.
00:43:34Absolutely.
00:43:35Now.
00:43:36I have a cute date for the Christmas party.
00:43:37Plus Angie said I could stay in her apartment for a week while she's away for the summer.
00:43:40So.
00:43:41Honestly.
00:43:42A couple of days pretending is totally worth it for me.
00:43:44Okay.
00:43:45Sorry.
00:43:46I know this is really strange you guys.
00:43:47But it's really gonna help me out a lot.
00:43:48Yeah.
00:43:49Are you sure that the reason Tyler didn't propose the other night.
00:43:51Is me?
00:43:52Yeah.
00:43:53He's crazy right?
00:43:54I mean I think he's just you know.
00:43:55We've always been friends.
00:43:56We'll always be friends.
00:43:57Until you moved to Manhattan.
00:43:58And you don't call me for six months.
00:43:59I would never do that.
00:44:00But you do.
00:44:01Anyway.
00:44:02I think that if you had a girlfriend.
00:44:03You'd be less threatened.
00:44:04Enter.
00:44:05Chloe.
00:44:06Hi.
00:44:07So.
00:44:08I'm feeling like for the Christmas party.
00:44:09We could do a little matchy matchy.
00:44:10Cute little color coordination.
00:44:11And then for New Year's Eve.
00:44:12Okay.
00:44:13We could go metallic.
00:44:14Okay.
00:44:15No.
00:44:16Sorry.
00:44:17I kind of thought this was like.
00:44:18Only for the week.
00:44:19Oh.
00:44:20We'll see about that.
00:44:21Uh.
00:44:22Oh.
00:44:23What?
00:44:24Show me where this goes.
00:44:25Okay.
00:44:26Um.
00:44:27Right this way.
00:44:28Boyfriend.
00:44:29Can I call you that?
00:44:30Should I just stick with Ben?
00:44:31Benny.
00:44:32Benji.
00:44:33Benji.
00:44:34Good thing I took that improv class last semester.
00:44:35You are getting a kick out of this.
00:44:36Aren't you?
00:44:37So very much.
00:44:38I.
00:44:39I can't carry this by myself.
00:44:40Oh.
00:44:41All right.
00:44:42Okay.
00:44:43I'm going to let you.
00:44:44Oh.
00:44:45This looks like an important one.
00:44:46Like.
00:44:47Yeah.
00:44:48I didn't even know they were dating.
00:44:49Oh.
00:44:50It's a.
00:44:51It's a new thing.
00:44:52I don't think it's serious.
00:44:53Aunt Mark.
00:44:54Well.
00:44:55Funny.
00:44:56You know.
00:44:57I always thought you and Ben.
00:44:58Would wind up together.
00:44:59You too.
00:45:00Maybe I need to get his t-shirts.
00:45:01And say just friends.
00:45:02The very best relationships start out that way.
00:45:05My late husband.
00:45:07Was my best friend.
00:45:08Before we were married.
00:45:10What's in this guy?
00:45:11Oh.
00:45:12Be careful with that box.
00:45:14Those ornaments are from my honeymoon in Austria.
00:45:17Absolutely irreplaceable.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:20I.
00:45:21I didn't.
00:45:22Kid gloves.
00:45:23Aunt Mark.
00:45:24Oh.
00:45:25You're kidding.
00:45:26Right?
00:45:27She's kidding.
00:45:28Right?
00:45:30Because your mom really needs all this stuff.
00:45:35I know.
00:45:36We probably gift wrapped the whole town.
00:45:37Couldn't we?
00:45:38Yeah.
00:45:39Seriously.
00:45:40You know.
00:45:41Your mom.
00:45:42She loves this stuff.
00:45:43Better too much than not enough.
00:45:44But I thought she was going to come with us.
00:45:45So that we could go to lunch after.
00:45:46We tend to split up the errands these days.
00:45:48Well.
00:45:49Yeah.
00:45:50I noticed.
00:45:51What's up with that?
00:45:52You two were connected at the hip all the time.
00:45:53You know.
00:45:54Ange.
00:45:55When you've been together as long as your mother and I have.
00:45:56Things change.
00:45:57Small stuff.
00:45:58It starts to matter.
00:45:59She likes romantic comedies.
00:46:00I like mysteries.
00:46:01I like going out.
00:46:02She likes staying in.
00:46:03It's to be expected.
00:46:05So you bend.
00:46:06Bargain.
00:46:07You adjust.
00:46:08You'd think things would be a little different though.
00:46:10Once you two kids left the house.
00:46:12Get back to being just us again.
00:46:15Nothing for you to worry about though.
00:46:18Are you sure dad?
00:46:22You know what?
00:46:25I think I left my wallet at the store.
00:46:27I'll be right back.
00:46:30How did I not see this before?
00:46:37Hey there.
00:46:39You've got to stop doing that.
00:46:42What's going on with your ticket?
00:46:47Still no.
00:46:48Please.
00:46:49You have to help me.
00:46:50Look.
00:46:51I admit.
00:46:52It was wonderful at first.
00:46:53A Christmas miracle.
00:46:55But nothing's what I remember.
00:46:57I mean, Kristen and I aren't close.
00:46:59And mom and dad, they're drifting apart.
00:47:01And Tyler hasn't proposed.
00:47:03Ben is being Ben.
00:47:05Please.
00:47:06You have to help me.
00:47:07I'm so sorry, but it's not up to me.
00:47:11Well, would you look at that?
00:47:14Shepard's fairy.
00:47:17Again?
00:47:18This is Christmas time.
00:47:22I'm so glad you made it back in time for the white elephant.
00:47:30I'm so happy to be back.
00:47:31Can someone explain how this works?
00:47:33Yeah, it's a white elephant gift exchange.
00:47:36A Reynolds family tradition.
00:47:38Yeah, we all bought gifts.
00:47:39Silly things or something someone's given us.
00:47:41And we all open them in turn.
00:47:42So we can either keep what we got or we can trade it with someone else.
00:47:45Right, until absolutely no one is happy with what they have.
00:47:49You'll get the hang of it.
00:47:50But until then, you guys have to eat some cookies because I've been baking all day.
00:47:54Nobody bakes like you, Evelyn.
00:47:57Here you go.
00:47:59Oh, such a provider.
00:48:02Oh, isn't my boyfriend just the sweetest?
00:48:05Any day now, he's probably going to pop a question.
00:48:07Right, sweetie?
00:48:09I'm learning that pretty much anything is possible.
00:48:12How about that?
00:48:13This is my contribution.
00:48:15Thank you, sis.
00:48:18That's weird.
00:48:20Isn't it funny?
00:48:22Oh, my gosh.
00:48:24Hey, it's the Frosty the Snowman jewelry box.
00:48:26I thought it was from Kristen.
00:48:28Oh, I found it in the attic when I was pulling down the ornaments.
00:48:32Sorry if it.
00:48:33Oh, no, no.
00:48:34I mean, I gave that to Angie, like, way back when.
00:48:37How long ago?
00:48:38Well, here's a hint.
00:48:40Used to hold my candy jewelry.
00:48:43Is that all that's in there?
00:48:44Yeah, just the bracelet.
00:48:45The bracelet, why?
00:48:47Okay, who's next?
00:48:51We win.
00:48:52We won.
00:48:53You know what?
00:48:54All right.
00:48:56Almost beat you.
00:48:58Oh, the ladies picked a bad day for a snowball fight.
00:49:01The old flamethrower's feeling pretty good today.
00:49:03All right, well, we'll see about that.
00:49:05Well.
00:49:08This is your last chance to back out, ladies.
00:49:11I feel like there should be some penalty for trash talk.
00:49:13Yeah.
00:49:14Hey, if it's all right with you guys, I'd like to throw the first pitch.
00:49:18Oh, a sports reference.
00:49:19I love it.
00:49:20Here we go.
00:49:24Angie?
00:49:25What is this?
00:49:27Playing that hockey game was the best thing I ever did.
00:49:29You got a concussion.
00:49:30Yeah, I did.
00:49:31And it brought me right to you.
00:49:33Angie, you make a great team.
00:49:36Yeah?
00:49:37We're like the Miami Dolphins in 72.
00:49:39That great, huh?
00:49:40That great.
00:49:41And I want us to go on forever.
00:49:43Like the Patriots in 07.
00:49:44No, I get it.
00:49:45Me too.
00:49:46So?
00:49:48Oh, so, so, I think you're supposed to ask a question.
00:49:51Oh, yeah, right, of course.
00:49:52It's happening.
00:49:54Spoke to your dad the other day.
00:49:55He's cool with it.
00:49:58And?
00:49:59And?
00:50:00Angie, will you marry me?
00:50:02Yes.
00:50:03Yes, I will.
00:50:04I thought you'd never ask.
00:50:05Oh!
00:50:08We're getting married!
00:50:09We're getting married!
00:50:12Trick's on me, you guys!
00:50:18Hey.
00:50:20Um, I just want to say all I want is for you to be happy.
00:50:25And if that's, you know, Tyler or whoever, I am there for you.
00:50:29I mean, I'll always be there for you.
00:50:32Thanks, Beck.
00:50:35How's your ticket?
00:50:37No return date?
00:50:38I don't understand.
00:50:39I proposed, but it's still blank.
00:50:42Maybe...
00:50:43You guys, it's cold out here.
00:50:44Come on, let's go celebrate.
00:50:45Yeah.
00:50:51These new-fangled lights keep burning out faster than I can keep up with them.
00:50:55Are you sure you don't want me to do that for you?
00:50:56No, I'm good.
00:50:57I'm an old hand at this.
00:51:00Hey, Mom, should Dad be doing that?
00:51:04Have you tried talking to your father lately?
00:51:07I'm worried about you two.
00:51:08Angie, leave it alone.
00:51:09We're fine, or we will be.
00:51:11Let's talk about you.
00:51:12You just got engaged.
00:51:13No, don't change the subject.
00:51:15I'm serious.
00:51:16When did this start?
00:51:18I don't know.
00:51:19With you girls grown and gone, we had to talk to each other.
00:51:23And I guess after all this time, we're discovering there isn't really that much more to say.
00:51:29Well, you never know it.
00:51:31From this picture.
00:51:34You guys are so happy here.
00:51:37Where was this?
00:51:38Aunt Mert's first Christmas party.
00:51:40It's where I met your father.
00:51:41How did I not know that?
00:51:42That's where you guys met?
00:51:43It was such a romantic evening.
00:51:45Mert had hired these Victorian carolers, and your father was so handsome.
00:51:50It wasn't just that.
00:51:51It was the way he looked at me.
00:51:53That's cute.
00:51:54Yeah.
00:51:57We danced to the light of the Christmas tree, all those colors.
00:52:03Wouldn't it be nice if we could turn back the clock and do it all over again?
00:52:10Yes.
00:52:11It would.
00:52:15Hey.
00:52:18Where's my father?
00:52:19Oh, he's up there somewhere.
00:52:20Said he needed to check something on the other side of the house.
00:52:22Well, he's going to break his neck one Christmas.
00:52:24Oh, wait.
00:52:25No, he's not.
00:52:26Thank goodness.
00:52:27Hey, you know who needs a break?
00:52:29We do.
00:52:30You know, this is all fun, but we need some alone time, you know?
00:52:34Just the two of us.
00:52:36Away from everything.
00:52:38Oh.
00:52:39I don't want to bring this up in front of everyone, but...
00:52:44What's that?
00:52:45Two tickets to Barcelona.
00:52:47Like Spain?
00:52:48Barcelona?
00:52:49Say yes, and we leave in the morning.
00:52:51But Aunt Mert's party is tomorrow, and I have been traveling a lot.
00:52:54That's an annual thing, you said, right?
00:52:55So, you know, does it really matter if you miss one year?
00:52:58Let me explain.
00:52:59This is, like, an important family thing.
00:53:01Okay.
00:53:03Let me see if I can change the tickets for the next day, if that works.
00:53:06We just have to be there on Christmas.
00:53:07There's this big soccer match.
00:53:09In December?
00:53:10It's a charity thing, indoors, teams from all over the world.
00:53:13The network asked me to cover it.
00:53:15And I said yes, if they would let me take you.
00:53:18Okay, so this is about work.
00:53:20No, no, no, this is about us.
00:53:22Oh.
00:53:23Yes, with some work tossed in, but this is a chance for us to celebrate our engagement.
00:53:28And for me to prove what I can do.
00:53:30Look, Angie, when we're married, this is something we're going to have to do a lot.
00:53:34You know, I'm going to have to cover the stories wherever they take me.
00:53:37Right.
00:53:38And I want you with me.
00:53:40What about my career?
00:53:41Yeah, yeah, of course there's your career, but, you know, we'll make it work.
00:53:44Compromise is both ways.
00:53:46So, huh?
00:53:48What do you say?
00:53:50Um.
00:53:54Yep.
00:53:56Yep.
00:54:02Yes, sir, absolutely.
00:54:04Yep.
00:54:05Yes, sir, we are flying out tomorrow on Christmas Eve, and I've got the whole crew standing by in Barcelona right now.
00:54:10He's very good looking, your fiancé.
00:54:14But is he always so busy?
00:54:18Yeah, work is his passion.
00:54:20And where do you fit in?
00:54:22I know how it looks, Aunt Mer, but, you know, I'm going to be just as busy at the hospital, I mean, in medical school.
00:54:28So, you know, we'll both be busy.
00:54:30And yet, knowing you, you will always find the time for personal life, yes?
00:54:35Life is more than work.
00:54:38Yeah, it should be.
00:54:40But does he feel that way?
00:54:45I am so sorry about that.
00:54:47No problem. Angie's been telling me all that you've been up to.
00:54:50Oh, yeah, well, there's this, uh, there's a showcase for the top European soccer leagues.
00:54:54Premier League in England, of course, Germany's Bundesliga, La Liga in Spain.
00:54:59We've got teams from Italy and from France, and there I go again.
00:55:06So, where were we?
00:55:08You were about to tell me why we're meeting.
00:55:10Yes, I still have so many gifts to wrap and so much to get done before the party tonight.
00:55:15Or rather, my staff does.
00:55:18Well, from what I understand, my parents actually met at your very first Christmas party.
00:55:22Yes. Oh, what a story that was.
00:55:25I think it was fate.
00:55:27You know how some people just naturally belong together?
00:55:31And some people...
00:55:37No, I'm just going to ignore this, sorry.
00:55:39Some people, you have to kind of make it work, you know?
00:55:42Yeah, okay, there it goes again.
00:55:44You know what? I'm just going to very quickly... I'm so sorry.
00:55:47Tyler Grant!
00:55:49Yes?
00:55:51Um, I wanted to give them that night again as a Christmas present.
00:55:55Just, like, recreate it as closely as I can.
00:55:57Oh, what a lovely idea.
00:55:59How can I help?
00:56:01Well, I made a list of all the songs that Mom remembers.
00:56:03By the way, Mom and Dad have no idea that I'm doing this.
00:56:06And I was hoping you'd get those Victorian carolers that Mom loved so much.
00:56:10After 30 years?
00:56:12After 30 years?
00:56:16I'll see what I can do.
00:56:18But they were not young when your parents met.
00:56:21They're filing for Medicare now.
00:56:25Is there a reason for this?
00:56:28I think they could use a reminder.
00:56:31Of what's special about Christmas?
00:56:33What's special about their relationship.
00:56:36Angie, you are a wonderful girl.
00:56:38Thanks, Amber.
00:56:40You're older than your years.
00:56:44What do you mean?
00:56:46There's something different about you this holiday.
00:56:48Oh, yeah?
00:56:50I can't quite put my finger on it, but...
00:56:52It's a confidence.
00:56:56It's probably the cake.
00:57:01Tyler, you're such a dear for carrying those to the car for me.
00:57:04It's no problem at all.
00:57:06Good, good.
00:57:08Here are your keys.
00:57:10It's the white one right down there.
00:57:12Got it.
00:57:14And if you wouldn't mind.
00:57:16Thank you so much.
00:57:18It's no problem.
00:57:20Thank you so much for doing this, Aunt Mert.
00:57:22Aunt Mert.
00:57:24Oh my God, I love that so much.
00:57:26I always have.
00:57:28You know, family means everything.
00:57:30Even if it's this town.
00:57:32The family you choose, right?
00:57:34See you tonight.
00:57:36Hey.
00:57:38You going to lunch?
00:57:40I'm getting sandwiches for the elves.
00:57:42Apparently, they can't live on candy canes alone.
00:57:44No, I don't suppose they could.
00:57:46Are you alone?
00:57:48The boyfriend deserts you?
00:57:50No.
00:57:52Don't tell me you broke up.
00:57:54He's helping Aunt Mert with some packages.
00:57:56What a regular boy scout.
00:57:58Do you have any plans to go back?
00:58:00And by go back, I mean, you know, really go back?
00:58:02I'm working on it.
00:58:04Why don't you take a nap and remember
00:58:06any winning lottery numbers before you go?
00:58:08That's a great idea.
00:58:10Hey, Ben, if you could go back in time,
00:58:12is there anything that you would change?
00:58:16Yeah, maybe one thing.
00:58:18Really? What is it?
00:58:20It's personal.
00:58:22Oh.
00:58:24Yeah, between me and Frosty.
00:58:26I'll see you around.
00:58:28Frosty?
00:58:30No wonder he's single.
00:58:34You really think your plan will work?
00:58:36Believe it or remember it.
00:58:38Past you or in eight years?
00:58:40What's going to happen in eight years?
00:58:42That's freakily specific.
00:58:44It's statistics, because once you see the cracks in a marriage,
00:58:46bad things happen.
00:58:48You've been acting very odd this whole trip.
00:58:50Who? Have I?
00:58:52Oh, I see what's happening.
00:58:54You do?
00:58:56You're working too hard.
00:58:58It's the stress of med school.
00:59:00Yep, yep, you figured it out.
00:59:02Okay, sport, you're ready.
00:59:04My turn.
00:59:06Oh.
00:59:08Oh.
00:59:10Who's ready for some holiday cheer?
00:59:12Looking like that, I'd guess every woman in Shepard's Ferry.
00:59:14I've never felt more underdressed in my life.
00:59:16Oh, no rush.
00:59:18I always like to be camera ready, just in case.
00:59:20So, what's the plan?
00:59:22I'm going to finish getting ready.
00:59:24You're going to go ahead with everyone else, and I'll come later with Mom.
00:59:26She won't be suspicious we're going separately?
00:59:28Nope, not the way I have it planned.
00:59:30Oh.
00:59:32How you doing, Mom?
00:59:34I cannot find the dress I was supposed to wear tonight.
00:59:36Oh, maybe you sent it to the cleaners.
00:59:38I did, but I am sure I got it back,
00:59:40and I have no idea what happened to it.
00:59:42Yeah.
00:59:44Well, that is very odd.
00:59:46Why don't you wear something else?
00:59:48I have nothing that's appropriate
00:59:50or fancy enough.
00:59:52I have an idea.
00:59:54Huh?
00:59:56Angie, that's 35 years old.
00:59:58Let's try it.
01:00:02It'll look stunning in it.
01:00:04You wear that tonight, you will be the hit of the party.
01:00:06Oh.
01:00:20Isn't this incredible?
01:00:22She always outdoes herself.
01:00:24Merry Christmas, one and all.
01:00:26I'm so happy to see you.
01:00:28Oh.
01:00:30George, you look as young
01:00:32and as handsome as the first time we met.
01:00:34You are a good guy.
01:00:36Are these the Carolers?
01:00:38The same ones from the...
01:00:40Some of them, yes.
01:00:42From the very first party.
01:00:44You remembered?
01:00:46Oh, they're just wonderful.
01:00:48Tyler, it's so good to see you again.
01:00:50Oh, it's good to see you too.
01:00:52Thank you for including me.
01:00:54Oh.
01:00:56I got dressed.
01:00:58You most certainly did.
01:01:02And I have a surprise for you, young man.
01:01:04Why don't you go
01:01:06and have a look at the very special
01:01:08centerpiece in the dining room?
01:01:10Oh, we don't run in the house,
01:01:12Henrik.
01:01:14Where are Evelyn and Angie?
01:01:16Oh, they'll be along.
01:01:18Yeah, something about a dress mix-up or something.
01:01:20Well, in that case,
01:01:22you two will be my arm candy
01:01:24till they get here.
01:01:28Wow. That is quite the spread.
01:01:30Wow.
01:01:32We see. How about that?
01:01:34You know, I thought that looked familiar.
01:01:36Kids are natural.
01:01:38Quite the honor.
01:01:40No wonder we all love that woman.
01:01:42Another winner, Mert.
01:01:44It's like always.
01:01:46Thank you. I look forward to this party
01:01:48every single year.
01:01:50Brother, do you know
01:01:52George actually met Evelyn here?
01:01:54Didn't you, George?
01:01:56As a matter of fact, I did.
01:01:58I think I was standing right here at the time, too.
01:02:00Good memories?
01:02:02How did I think about it? The best.
01:02:04It was a lonely holiday for me, if you remember.
01:02:06And I got to spend another Christmas alone.
01:02:08I was saying goodbye to everybody.
01:02:10Clock struck nine.
01:02:12And I remember turning.
01:02:16And there she was.
01:02:20George.
01:02:28George Reynolds.
01:02:30Have you met Evelyn Marshall?
01:02:32I don't believe I've had the pleasure.
01:02:34Evelyn, is it?
01:02:36Yes, Mr. Reynolds.
01:02:38Please call me George, or I'm afraid I won't answer you.
01:02:40You look gorgeous.
01:02:42Can you believe that this is the dress that I wore
01:02:44the day that I met you?
01:02:46No.
01:02:48You're the prettiest girl in the room.
01:02:50In any room.
01:02:52You're not so bad yourself.
01:02:58Hey.
01:03:00You look beautiful.
01:03:02Oh, thanks, Ben.
01:03:04Looks like the spark is alive and well.
01:03:06Good work.
01:03:08Thanks.
01:03:14Tyler Grant?
01:03:16Attention, everybody.
01:03:22I would like to welcome you all to my annual Christmas party.
01:03:24Now, I'm not one for speeches,
01:03:26and you all know that.
01:03:28But tonight,
01:03:30I would like to propose a toast.
01:03:32Our dear, dear friend,
01:03:34Angie Reynolds.
01:03:36Come here, Angie.
01:03:40Angie has come back to us tonight from medical school,
01:03:42and she brought with her
01:03:44our fiancé, Mr. Tyler Grant.
01:03:50Where is he?
01:03:58Absolutely. Sure.
01:04:00All right. All right. Bye-bye.
01:04:02Hey.
01:04:04Hey. Um, you missed Aunt Mark's speech.
01:04:06To us.
01:04:08Oh, shoot. Let me make it up to you.
01:04:10I'm gonna grab us some wine, and we can have our own toast.
01:04:12Tyler, this is a really important night for us.
01:04:14Oh, it's just family.
01:04:16You know, they understand.
01:04:18Just family?
01:04:20Don't move. I'll be right back.
01:04:32Hey.
01:04:34Hey. You okay?
01:04:36Honestly, I don't know.
01:04:42Thanks.
01:04:44Where's...
01:04:46Chloe?
