00:01:08Oof! Chilly out there.
00:01:14Good morning, Megan.
00:01:16Hi! Did you get them off okay?
00:01:18They are in the air as we speak.
00:01:20How long is the flight from O'Hare to New Zealand?
00:01:2220 hours.
00:01:24Yeah, my dad took three books,
00:01:26my mom's trying to finish knitting the sweater she's giving my sister for Christmas.
00:01:29But their bunny is not happy to be spending Christmas at my house.
00:01:33He won't speak to me.
00:01:37This is the coolest map you have ever made.
00:01:39And you have made some unbelievable maps.
00:01:43Oh, Tristan's pretty special.
00:01:45What kid do you know has grandparents from Venezuela,
00:01:48a mother that grew up in Midwestern America,
00:01:50and a father who's Kiwi?
00:01:52Mm-hmm. I'll say it again.
00:01:54Very cool.
00:01:56Good morning, ladies.
00:01:58Hi, Mr. Latimer.
00:01:59Buenos dias.
00:02:00I am going to need your assistance once again this year.
00:02:03We have three weeks to find the perfect Christmas gift for Ellen.
00:02:07Oh, what did we choose for Mrs. Latimer last year?
00:02:09That cashmere holiday sweater with the gilded button.
00:02:12Oh, yeah. I love that.
00:02:13So did Ellen.
00:02:14So put your heads together and come up with some ideas for me.
00:02:17Yeah.
00:02:19What is this, Amelia?
00:02:21Oh, it's just something I'm working on.
00:02:23It's a map that I made for my nephew, Tristan.
00:02:26This is the specific latitude and longitude for where he lives.
00:02:29I wanted to make him this so that he could learn about his home.
00:02:32See, if you follow these, these open.
00:02:36Each door gives Tristan a clue to finding the Christmas treasure in Wakatani, New Zealand.
00:02:41X marks the spot.
00:02:42And what secret treasure exists in Wakatani, New Zealand?
00:02:46Tristan. He's my treasure in New Zealand, and I want him to know that this Christmas.
00:02:52That is really sweet.
00:02:54It is, Megan.
00:02:55And this is one of the most unique things that I have ever seen.
00:02:59Thank you, Horace.
00:03:01I will put it aside and get back to work now.
00:03:04I have been lying awake at night brainstorming ideas on how to increase our web traffic.
00:03:10People just don't buy paper maps anymore.
00:03:13Do you think you could design another one?
00:03:16Another?
00:03:17Picture this.
00:03:18An interactive treasure map of the North Pole.
00:03:23The North Pole.
00:03:24Christmas Village, the Elf Workshop, the Reindeer Stable.
00:03:28The North Pole is a frozen tundra.
00:03:30A novelty map. We can put it online as a Christmas Day activity for families.
00:03:34The goal will be to follow the clues to find the X that marks the spot.
00:03:38Ha! Think of the online hits.
00:03:41Yeah, it's a great idea, but I would want kids to know about the true North Pole too, not just the Santa stuff.
00:03:47Of course.
00:03:48Of course, make the real facts part of the clues.
00:03:52In fact, put everything else on hold. I want this ready for this year.
00:03:56Well, what about the X? What's the ultimate Christmas treasure?
00:04:02You can figure that out, Amelia.
00:04:04We'll call the whole project Where's Christmas?
00:04:08Let me know what you need, and don't forget my wife's gift.
00:04:10You two have raised the Christmas present bar so high that I can't live up to my own reputation.
00:04:18Ah.
00:04:24Christmas is in three weeks. I can't get the sun in time.
00:04:27Regretting not going to New Zealand with your parents?
00:04:30I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:04:32Well, if you want to keep the boss happy, you better figure it out quickly.
00:04:38I need my peppermint latte. I think Sam should be open by now. I'll be right back.
00:04:49Look at the guy on the roof.
00:04:54That's Drew Campbell. Does that make sense?
00:04:57Yes, that's Drew Campbell.
00:04:59I never would have thought he'd be in our town.
00:05:03What is he doing up there?
00:05:05He's really different than I thought.
00:05:07Is this going to be on our new show?
00:05:09He's really surprised.
00:05:10Yeah, that's...
00:05:11What?
00:05:12I don't think he's been looking.
00:05:13I'm sure he is.
00:05:14I don't think it is him.
00:05:15I don't actually have something I wanted to sign.
00:05:17That's crazy.
00:05:20I hope the mayor doesn't catch us.
00:05:23I can't wait to tell my mom.
00:05:32Oh, Amelia. You're late today.
00:05:35Actually, I was here so early, you guys weren't even here yet.
00:05:39Well, peppermint latte, coming right up.
00:05:42So, how was my favorite couple during tonight?
00:05:45Honestly, we're just tying up all the loose ends before Christmas.
00:05:48You should see our kids' lists.
00:05:51Sam, my man, is that peppermint latte ready?
00:05:55Right here.
00:05:57Oh, wait, that's...
00:06:00You should really try their peppermint latte. Best I've ever had.
00:06:04Were you just in the fire escape off Town Hall?
00:06:06Yeah, that was me.
00:06:08I'm telling you, you try one of these.
00:06:10Don't know what you're missing.
00:06:13Oh, hey.
00:06:24She loves the lattes.
00:06:26Did you just give my peppermint latte to a stranger?
00:06:28I had to. That's Drew Campbell.
00:06:31Who in the world is Drew Campbell?
00:06:37That's funny. You're funny.
00:06:39That's funny. You're funny.
00:06:41What's funny?
00:06:43Oh, I thought you were making a joke.
00:06:45Because his internet show is called Where in the World is Drew Campbell.
00:06:48Is his what?
00:06:50Okay, Drew Campbell is a famous explorer.
00:06:54You know, the guy who travels to remote places for Global Discovery magazine.
00:06:58That can't be him.
00:07:00Why not?
00:07:01Well, you just said remote places.
00:07:03This is Crescent Cove.
00:07:07Bye, Sam.
00:07:09We're plenty remote.
00:07:14Crescent Map Company.
00:07:16Just a moment, I'll transfer you.
00:07:19What?
00:07:20Get on your computer, search for Drew Campbell.
00:07:26Oh, wow.
00:07:28Cute.
00:07:29Just click on his bio.
00:07:31Okay.
00:07:33Ahem.
00:07:35Famous international explorer for Global Discovery magazine.
00:07:40Nice.
00:07:41Has been to every continent and has even trekked the North Pole twice.
00:07:46What about him?
00:07:48Well, he's rude, he doesn't wait his turn, and he takes unnecessary risks.
00:07:52Do you know him?
00:07:54I do not.
00:07:56Then why are you so interested?
00:07:58Because he is also exactly the person I need to help me with the Where's Christmas map.
00:08:04Dilemma.
00:08:07Just tell Horace I will be back soon.
00:08:10Okay.
00:08:29Oh!
00:08:31Hey!
00:08:33Peppermint latte.
00:08:35My name is Amelia.
00:08:37Peppermint Amelia.
00:08:40What were you doing down there?
00:08:42Ah, well, in my line of work, I learned it's good to look at things from a different perspective.
00:08:48So, I thought I'd give you a tour of my office.
00:08:51Oh, thank you.
00:08:52What were you doing down there?
00:08:54Ah, well, in my line of work, I learned it's good to look at things from different angles.
00:08:59Both figuratively and literally.
00:09:02Meaning?
00:09:03Meaning you don't get a complete picture of a place until you see it from all sides, you know?
00:09:07That's ridiculous.
00:09:09All you need is a map.
00:09:11A map?
00:09:13A map barely tells you anything of value.
00:09:15A good map tells you every piece of critical information.
00:09:18Not even close.
00:09:20I mean, it misses the colors, the scents, the feeling a place gives you.
00:09:24Who cares about longitude and latitude?
00:09:26And besides, what good is a map if you never go anywhere?
00:09:31Hey, Mr. Campbell.
00:09:33Sam, I asked you to call me Drew.
00:09:35Oh, Drew.
00:09:37Here's the jerky club you ordered.
00:09:39Thank you, good sir. I am starving.
00:09:41Since when do you deliver, Sam?
00:09:45Ah, enjoy.
00:09:49Let me guess, it's going to be the best jerky club you ever had?
00:09:53I'm hoping.
00:09:55I'll slip.
00:09:57Oh, yeah. I see you've met our distinguished visitor.
00:10:00Hmm.
00:10:02Now, Mr. Campbell, it seems we've been getting some unusual calls down at the station.
00:10:06People seem to think you've been lying in the streets, climbing on park benches.
00:10:10Mrs. Finnegan insists she saw you on the top of Town Hall.
00:10:14He was.
00:10:15I told these concerned citizens that famous explorers probably do things a little differently than us regular folks.
00:10:22There's no need to report it every time he sneezes.
00:10:25Thank you, Joan.
00:10:27Just see that your article paints a Crescent Cove Christmas as it truly is.
00:10:31Yes, ma'am.
00:10:35Did you just call Officer Becker Joan?
00:10:38That's her name, isn't it?
00:10:41Listen, I'm, uh, I'm working on a-
00:10:43Hold that thought.
00:10:45Okay.
00:10:47Hey, Connie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I made it, okay?
00:10:51It's perfect, you wouldn't believe.
00:10:53Yeah, you know, small little shops on Main Street, a town square, and a friendly policewoman who still patrols on foot.
00:11:00Yeah, it's a real Mayberry.
00:11:02Oh, no, no, no, no. It's exactly what we wanted.
00:11:05Crescent Cove is small, simple, provincial and steeped in Christmas tradition.
00:11:10And completely oblivious to the outside world.
00:11:13That's crazy.
00:11:17Oh, no, no, no. It's exactly what I told you I needed.
00:11:20Yeah, I think it's going to be the perfect holiday restaurant I was looking for.
00:11:23Uh-huh. Okay. I'll talk to you.
00:11:32Sam, let's see what you got.
00:11:33Let's see what you got.
00:11:47Any luck?
00:11:49Not many people have tracked the North Pole, but most who have are either dead or speak Russian.
00:11:54Maybe you should call Santa directly.
00:11:57Not helpful.
00:11:59Or maybe you could swallow your pride and ask an actual explorer who just happens to be in your hometown.
00:12:07Yeah, and that's another thing. If he thinks Crescent Cove is so provincial, why is he even here?
00:12:13I mean, if we're too rustic for the big, important globetrotter, why come here at all?
00:12:17I mean, oblivious to the outside world. I'll have him know I have mapped the entire world, the whole thing, literally.
00:12:22He knows.
00:12:24What do you mean?
00:12:26He's in the showroom with Mr. Latimer.
00:12:28You're kidding.
00:12:30Nope. They're discussing the Where's Christmas map.
00:12:32Amelia! Where in the world is Drew Campbell?
00:12:37He's right here in Crescent Cove.
00:12:40Nice to meet you, Amelia.
00:12:43Mr. Campbell.
00:12:45Amelia is one of the finest cartographers that you will ever meet.
00:12:48Ah, thus her passionate defense of all maps.
00:12:51She is a stickler for details, which is exactly what you'd want a cartographer to be.
00:12:55Indeed.
00:12:57Drew is working on an article about a true Americana small-town Christmas, and he has picked Crescent Cove.
00:13:04Really? I would have thought we were too simple.
00:13:07Well, simple is a nice thing to be. And frankly, it's the whole point of the piece.
00:13:12I've brokered a little deal with Drew, Amelia.
00:13:16A deal?
00:13:18I know how important it is to you that the Where's Christmas map have some authenticity. That it teaches something.
00:13:24Yes, I do believe that.
00:13:27Who better to give you insights than someone who has actually been there?
00:13:32I've been there.
00:13:34And Drew is looking for a Crescent Cove native to show him the real small-town Christmas experience. He doesn't want to miss a thing.
00:13:42Horace, I actually...
00:13:44Drew will help you with the map, and you will guide him through a Crescent Cove Christmas.
00:13:51Absolutely not.
00:13:54I have plans.
00:13:59What kind of plans?
00:14:02Well, for one, I'm bunny-sitting for my parents. And I have to get my nephew's map mailed to New Zealand before Christmas.
00:14:13I trust you to figure it out around your packed schedule.
00:14:18Bunny-sitting.
00:14:20Drew.
00:14:26This your calendar?
00:14:28Mm-hmm.
00:14:29Okay, blue is work, purple is Christmas shopping, and yellow is lawn care. In December.
00:14:37That category includes getting the holiday yard decoration set up.
00:14:42Okay, well, I do see a little space here for another color. Let's say we make Drew Campbell green for festive.
00:14:49Please, I could really use your local expertise.
00:14:55Okay, but only if we work on the map every morning.
00:14:59Done. And I think I'll make you orange in my calendar, Amelia.
00:15:05I suspect that underneath that orange, there will be a Christmas tree.
00:15:09Only if we work on the map every morning.
00:15:12Done. And I think I'll make you orange in my calendar, Amelia.
00:15:18I suspect that underneath that fastidious exterior is a lot of fire.
00:15:25See you then.
00:15:40Humming.
00:15:45Oh, he's a good boy. Oh, good boy. There you go.
00:15:51Hi, buddy.
00:15:53Is that good?
00:15:58Okay.
00:16:03You know, I can tell I have to plan every minute of the day to keep him on track.
00:16:09Let's see. Arrive at 8 a.m.
00:16:19You're right, Muffin. Better allow a few minutes for Drew Campbell's delinquency.
00:16:27Arrive at 8 o'clock.
00:16:35Mama, you made it.
00:16:37So hot here. Forgot my big hat.
00:16:40I'm sure Zoe has sunscreen you can use.
00:16:43And Muffin, he's with you?
00:16:44Yeah, he's right here next to me.
00:16:46Let me speak to him.
00:16:48Hola, bebé. Eres hermoso. Eres hermoso.
00:16:55He heard me?
00:16:56Yeah, he heard you.
00:16:58We wish you were here with us with heart.
00:17:00I know, mama. I know I should have come, but now I have even more work to do than I originally thought I did.
00:17:08We love you, Emilia and Maria.
00:17:10I love you too. Te mando un abrazo. Chao.
00:17:22I know.
00:17:30Oh, hey. Good morning. For you.
00:17:35That's unnecessary, but thank you.
00:17:38Well, consider it my apology.
00:17:40For what?
00:17:41I think you misunderstood my comments about Crescent Cove.
00:17:45So, are you apologizing or are you just making it clear that the misunderstanding was on me?
00:17:51Fair enough. I'm apologizing for saying that your town is simple, even though I meant it as a compliment.
00:17:58Charming, quaint, cozy. Those are compliments.
00:18:02Those are adjectives.
00:18:04My assignment is to explore a traditional small town Christmas. You know, like, real miracle on 34th Street stuff.
00:18:11Santa gets put on trial in that movie.
00:18:14Does he?
00:18:17Okay, maybe Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life.
00:18:20George Bailey needs to be saved from jumping off a bridge on that one.
00:18:24Yeah, and these are classics.
00:18:25Yeah.
00:18:29Look, I get it. You want your readers to know that the small town Christmas they dream about really exists.
00:18:37And you came to the right place.
00:18:40I knew it. I knew it.
00:18:42This morning we have to get some real solid work done on the Where's Christmas map, but then I have plans for tonight.
00:18:47Oh, you have a plan. I find that hard to believe.
00:18:51What color is it?
00:18:52Keep this up and you're gonna navigate this provincial Christmas on your own.
00:18:56I will be on my best behavior for the rest of the day.
00:18:59Oh, only the rest of the day. How long are you here?
00:19:02Two and a half weeks.
00:19:04Well, let's try and stay off the naughty list.
00:19:07No promises.
00:19:14And suddenly I felt the ice start cracking underneath my feet.
00:19:18No way.
00:19:19My choices were to stay and face the hungry bear offshore, falling into the ice in sub-zero water, or trying to fly.
00:19:27And?
00:19:29Well, I'm here to tell the story, aren't I?
00:19:31You learned to fly.
00:19:33Ah, the ice held up and I made it across the float safely.
00:19:39You know, with a proper map you would have known the vulnerabilities in the ice.
00:19:42A good map informs you that between 90 degrees north and 135 degrees west, the polar caps are susceptible to unpredictable weather temperatures.
00:19:51Point taken. But how would a mapmaker know that if the explorer hadn't collected the data in person?
00:19:57With proper satellite coordinates and imagery, daylight, shade, even wind can be predicted with great accuracy,
00:20:05which all determine the thickness of the ice, without ever putting on a pair of boots.
00:20:09Oh, what's the fun in that?
00:20:10A lot more fun than plunging to an icy death.
00:20:15Yeah.
00:20:17We have a lot of work to do, and we are two hours behind schedule.
00:20:20Okay, thank you. Thank you for listening. Thank you. Appreciate you guys.
00:20:28Alright, Peppermint Amelia, what do you want to know?
00:20:33For starters, I-
00:20:35Hold on one minute. Should we order lunch first?
00:20:37Should we order lunch first?
00:20:41Or not.
00:20:59Bite the fork, muffin. I'll be back.
00:21:05Hey.
00:21:06Hi.
00:21:08So this is your house?
00:21:10Yes.
00:21:14Are you going to invite me in?
00:21:17Why would you want to come in?
00:21:19I'm an explorer.
00:21:22We'll be late.
00:21:24Okay.
00:21:26It doesn't start for 30 minutes.
00:21:29Sorry? You the Crescent Cove expert or am I?
00:21:33Definitely you.
00:21:34Well, in a small town, things like the annual tree lighting are a very popular event.
00:21:39So, if you want good photos, you need to get a good spot.
00:21:43Lead the way.
00:21:47So, let me tell you what you can expect this evening.
00:21:51Please.
00:21:53It's in three parts. First, Horace will recite, "'Twas the night before Christmas."
00:21:57What, Horace? Your boss, Horace?
00:22:00Yes, he's also the mayor.
00:22:01So the owner of the map company is also the mayor?
00:22:05Small town, remember?
00:22:07Then we will all count down together while the tree is being lit, as it has for over 100 years.
00:22:13Love it.
00:22:15Then we'll do some caroling while Horace puts the moon on top of the tree.
00:22:18Moon?
00:22:20Well, this is Crescent Cove. We have a crescent moon on top of our tree.
00:22:23Wow. That is truly unique.
00:22:26I haven't seen or heard anything else like that anywhere in the world.
00:22:29Believe me, Horace takes his moon very seriously.
00:22:32No one is allowed to climb the ladder except for him.
00:22:35I'm pretty sure he made it an official proclamation.
00:22:38No one interferes with his mooning.
00:22:49Wow. Would you look at this?
00:22:52Welcome to a small town Christmas.
00:22:54Can you hold this for me, please?
00:22:56What am I, your valet?
00:22:57What am I, your valet?
00:23:06Oh, no, no, no.
00:23:12Mr. Campbell.
00:23:19Citizens of Crescent Cove.
00:23:22Where in the world is Drew Campbell, you may ask?
00:23:25He's on my ladder.
00:23:32My ladder.
00:23:35Drew Campbell.
00:23:40Three, two, one.
00:23:44Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:23:55It's the season to be jolly.
00:24:00Oh, my.
00:24:02All those years of exploration and you've never sang carols.
00:24:05Sure I have, but nothing like this. This is special.
00:24:08You don't know how lucky you are.
00:24:18Merry Christmas, everyone.
00:24:24I think the locals were very excited to have a celebrity at their wedding festival.
00:24:30That was so great. Thank you.
00:24:34So, I think we need to set some new ground rules.
00:24:39What were the old ground rules?
00:24:42Well, originally the deal was you were going to help me with my map and I was going to show you a Crescent Cove Christmas.
00:24:49There was no map work done today.
00:24:51I'll admit it was a slow start.
00:24:54I think from now on I'm going to make a list of details that we need to discuss, like temperature, terrain, domain.
00:25:02Can I be honest with you?
00:25:05I would appreciate that.
00:25:08I haven't had a stateside Christmas in eight years.
00:25:13That's a long time.
00:25:15I've spent the holidays in the mountains of Japan, in the lowlands of Ethiopia.
00:25:20But I haven't had a traditional Christmas in my home country in a long time.
00:25:26That's a shame.
00:25:28I love to explore the unknown, but lately I've been craving the known. Does that make sense?
00:25:36Yeah, it does.
00:25:38So, my editor and I came up with this idea for this feature. A real Christmas.
00:25:42A real Christmas.
00:25:44It's kind of a break for me. No offense to your map, but I'm in need of more Christmas, not more work.
00:25:51I hear you. And I understand.
00:25:54I just, I also have a job to do.
00:25:57And without your help, I'm going to need all my extra time to do the research on my own.
00:26:03Maybe I could get Megan to show you around.
00:26:05Since it's a novelty map, wouldn't it be simpler to design a North Pole that everyone imagines?
00:26:13You know, Candy Cane Lane, Santa's Workshop.
00:26:16I think maps can be fun. I think they should also teach.
00:26:21And with your help, we can not only spread Christmas joy, we can also spread some real North Pole knowledge.
00:26:28I mean, don't you want that too?
00:26:31I mean, you'd understand my hesitation if you…
00:26:33By what?
00:26:35I mean, if you explored more.
00:26:39What does that mean?
00:26:41I mean, you see the world from your drafting table, through topography and tools.
00:26:47But the best way to learn a place is to experience it.
00:26:52So kids can't learn about the North Pole unless we take them all there?
00:26:57Okay, I didn't say that.
00:26:59That's kind of exactly what you extenuated.
00:27:02Look, you don't have to help me, but if you choose to do so, I need you to do some real work.
00:27:08Not just entertain the whole office.
00:27:13It's up to you. I'll be there at eight.
00:27:31
00:27:56Oh, don't look so happy to see me.
00:27:59I'm sorry, Megan. Good morning.
00:28:01I have a message for you.
00:28:04He's not coming, is he?
00:28:06Who?
00:28:08What's the message?
00:28:11Uh, Horace would like you to ask Drew if he got any good shots of him doing his mayoral duties at the tree lighting.
00:28:18If so, he'd like to use them in his next campaign.
00:28:21Honestly, I don't think I'm going to see Drew again.
00:28:25I'm sorry.
00:28:27We can't talk right now. Lots to do.
00:28:29I guess we solved that.
00:28:31Great, more caffeine.
00:28:40We may need it if we plan to stay on schedule.
00:28:44Okay, reporting for duty.
00:28:48Yeah, let's get to work.
00:28:50But it's actually much warmer in the North Pole than the South Pole. As you already know, it sits at a much lower elevation.
00:28:56Warm, of course, being a relative term. In the height of summer, it gets no higher than 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:29:03That is interesting, but because our map is primarily for children, let's teach them about the cold without them even knowing it.
00:29:11How do we do that?
00:29:13By combining the Christmas North Pole with the real North Pole.
00:29:17For instance, what kind of boots would Santa really need for these temperatures?
00:29:21Mucklucks.
00:29:23What are mucklucks?
00:29:24Anyway, people have been wearing them for generations. Santa would definitely slip them on to go feed his reindeer.
00:29:31Sorry, no jokes.
00:29:34I don't want you to stunt your whole personality. I just want to stay on task.
00:29:37We are, aren't we?
00:29:39Yes.
00:29:41And we only have 30 minutes to go.
00:29:43Okay.
00:29:45And we're still making gingerbread, right? Because I really want those pictures for my article.
00:29:50Yes, we are. But I'm worried.
00:29:52Why?
00:29:54With the tension as thick as it is, will our gingerbread man and gingerbread woman even speak to each other?
00:30:00Will he climb onto the gumdrop roof with his camera while she refuses to leave her drafting table?
00:30:05Or will they learn to work together?
00:30:10The gingerbread man will handle his part.
00:30:14Okay then. I will talk to the gingerbread woman, but it looks promising.
00:30:20Good.
00:30:23I just wish I could picture this map.
00:30:27That's my fault. Come with me. I will show you how this whole thing got started.
00:30:41Oh, wow.
00:30:44You made this?
00:30:46It's for my nephew Tristan.
00:30:48One of the coolest things I've ever seen.
00:30:50Thanks. It's a treasure map.
00:30:52And you made this without ever visiting New Zealand?
00:30:56Well, no. I spent Christmas there last year.
00:30:59Well, I can tell. You really captured the colors and the feel of the place.
00:31:03I've been to Wakatani. It's outstanding.
00:31:07But if X marks a spot on our map too, what's the Christmas treasure going to be?
00:31:11I haven't quite figured that out yet.
00:31:15Family, Christmas spirit, gift giving.
00:31:19Muckalucks?
00:31:20And he's back.
00:31:24Let's cut out early. I need to send this to New Zealand, and we can bake your coveted gingerbread.
00:31:30Okay. And what color does gingerbread fall under?
00:31:34Blue.
00:31:36Isn't blue work?
00:31:38Yes, it is. Trust me, you're a lot of work.
00:31:50So, your nephew's in New Zealand?
00:31:52Yeah, my older sister Zoe and her husband own a restaurant there.
00:31:55Long way from home, huh?
00:31:57She was always adventurous.
00:31:59When I was studying in university, she was strapping on a backpack and heading on a plane.
00:32:04Never needed a plan.
00:32:06It's certainly an exciting way to live.
00:32:08She actually met her husband in Italy.
00:32:10But when they decided to have Tristan, they wanted to go back to his home and they took over their family restaurant.
00:32:15So, Tristan is a living, breathing, melting pot.
00:32:18I can't beat that.
00:32:20Before my parents came here from Venezuela, my mom had only seen America in magazines.
00:32:26So, when my dad got a job as an interpreter and moved here, she had this definite dream of the idyllic town she wanted to raise her family in.
00:32:35And here you are.
00:32:37Here I am, Emilia Maria Martin, daughter of the Midwest.
00:32:41See, this is the best part of my job.
00:32:43Going to the post office?
00:32:45No, hearing people's stories.
00:32:46Hearing people's stories.
00:32:51Yes.
00:32:56Hi, Mr. Carter.
00:32:58You think you can get this to New Zealand in time for Christmas?
00:33:02Oh, I just read the latest issue.
00:33:06Gil Jones on maybe, he's got a subscription.
00:33:09So, I read it cover to cover every month before I deliver it.
00:33:12Well, I'm so glad you like it.
00:33:13It's just, what a great surprise to have you in my post office.
00:33:17I've got something I want to show you.
00:33:22Now, I've been buying stamps for my children and my grandchildren every Christmas for years.
00:33:28Oh, wow. This is quite the collection.
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:33Wait, wait, is that one from Ceylon?
00:33:35Ceylon hasn't been in the map since 1972. It's now…
00:33:40Sri Lanka.
00:33:427.8 degrees north, 80.7 degrees east.
00:33:46Impressive.
00:33:48Amelia, your parents are sending back more stamps from New Zealand for me.
00:33:52And the least I can do is to get your present there on time.
00:33:57Mr. Carter, would you allow me to take your picture with your collection?
00:34:02Well, I guess so.
00:34:05And when Gil Jones gets his subscription next month, you'll be in the magazine.
00:34:10I'll have to buy a copy.
00:34:13Alright, sure.
00:34:15Wait.
00:34:18Is it okay if I hold these up too?
00:34:21Just going to deliver them to Santa.
00:34:24Of course. They're perfect.
00:34:31Start here.
00:34:32Start here.
00:34:34So when you're piping, make sure you do it from the back and just even pressure.
00:34:38And you should get a nice line like that.
00:34:43One, two.
00:34:45Oh, that's a good one.
00:34:47You have a little shaky hand, though.
00:34:49I know, it's hard.
00:34:51Okay, ready?
00:34:53Careful.
00:34:55Is that good?
00:34:57Yeah, just press it in the corners.
00:34:59Just like that, right?
00:35:00There.
00:35:02Oh.
00:35:04Fancy.
00:35:06Who knew that these things were actual feats of engineering?
00:35:10I should have known that you wouldn't just be satisfied baking a gingerbread man.
00:35:14No, no, Drew Campbell has to try and make the whole town.
00:35:18Okay.
00:35:20Good job. Doesn't look as tasty yet, though.
00:35:23Ah, nothing a few gumdrops cannot fix.
00:35:27Okay, we'll see.
00:35:31What's going on?
00:35:33It's great.
00:35:35Fancy.
00:35:36I know.
00:35:40Are you eating all the candy?
00:35:42No.
00:35:46Perfect.
00:35:48You know, you could probably sell those maps.
00:35:51The one you made for your nephew.
00:35:53Oh, that's just a side project I do when I have time.
00:35:56Don't sell yourself short.
00:36:01Boom.
00:36:03You just put a pretzel on your roof?
00:36:05Oh, yeah. The gingerbread man had a leak last year.
00:36:07Sealed it himself.
00:36:09Fancy.
00:36:11Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you just laugh at one of my jokes?
00:36:14Shockingly enough, I believe I did.
00:36:17My work here on the earth is complete.
00:36:20Stop.
00:36:22You know, it's funny how seeing things through someone else's eyes makes the same old traditions have a new meaning.
00:36:30Really?
00:36:32Yeah, I mean, like the tree lighting.
00:36:35I've attended it all my life, but last night, listening to your terrible singing, I don't know.
00:36:43Okay, yeah, yeah. Well, I have to confess, too.
00:36:45I completely underestimated you.
00:36:48I mean, after working with you today and seeing that map that you made for your nephew, you are a force, Miss Peppermint Latte.
00:36:59What? What? Did I say something wrong?
00:37:02No.
00:37:05Those words are usually used to describe my sister.
00:37:08Ah. I mean, well, I don't know your sister, but I can't imagine for a second that she is any more of a force than you.
00:37:18Ta-da!
00:37:24Wow.
00:37:26It's a metaphor for our entire relationship so far.
00:37:31Oh, I need to take some pictures.
00:37:42We getting one?
00:37:44Oh, no, no, no.
00:37:45Oh, no, no, no.
00:37:47Oh, come on.
00:37:52Okay. Like this?
00:37:54Oh, yeah. Just.
00:38:00Thanks.
00:38:01Thanks.
00:38:13Wow. All of that for just a couple photos.
00:38:17It's about the journey, not the destination.
00:38:20So I keep hearing.
00:38:23Okay. Sorry.
00:38:26Oh, here, let me help you.
00:38:28Oh, okay.
00:38:30Come on. Let's go.
00:38:44Amelia.
00:38:45Yeah.
00:38:46I couldn't help but notice that you didn't have a Christmas tree.
00:38:49It was on my schedule for two nights ago. I just kept getting rerouted.
00:38:54Do you want to get one?
00:38:56Like, right now?
00:38:57Right now? With me?
00:39:02Yeah.
00:39:03Well, all right then.
00:39:07I should probably kill you now.
00:39:08Good idea.
00:39:13Bye.
00:39:28Here.
00:39:33So you know there's no such thing as a perfect tree, right?
00:39:36Sure there is. We just haven't found it yet.
00:39:40No.
00:39:42Maybe you need to look for a different kind altogether. I hear Scottish pines are really nice.
00:39:46Or maybe you just need to have a little more patience.
00:39:53This is it?
00:39:55Can't be. I mean, there's a huge hole on this side of the branch here.
00:40:01Oh, I know. That's your side.
00:40:03Are you trying to say I have a void in my life?
00:40:05Well, you gotta be searching for something when you're hopping all around the globe.
00:40:09Yeah. Experiences.
00:40:11Sounds exciting.
00:40:12It can be.
00:40:14It could also be a little lonely, too.
00:40:20I changed my mind. I want this one.
00:40:22Right here?
00:40:24Okay.
00:40:35Yeah, right here is good.
00:40:37Let's get the tree out.
00:40:45All right.
00:40:49Okay, promise not to decorate without me.
00:40:51I give you my word.
00:40:52Yeah, tomorrow. Is that gonna work?
00:40:54Yeah, perfectly. Gives me time to get the ornaments out of storage.
00:40:57Oh, I can see it now.
00:40:59Yeah. It's gonna be a beautiful tree.
00:41:01Well, no, no. The storage. I mean, all labeled and neatly stacked.
00:41:06Color-coded.
00:41:08And I wish I could do it tonight, but I can't cancel my meeting with my lawyer.
00:41:11Your lawyer? Let me guess. Horace pressed charges for climbing on his mayoral ladder.
00:41:17No. I have some things I need to handle stateside before I head back out.
00:41:23Yeah, yeah. That sounds important. You shouldn't miss that.
00:41:26Yeah. So, tree in or out?
00:41:31Let's just leave it on the porch.
00:41:33Are you sure it's still gonna be there in the morning?
00:41:36This is Crescent Cove. If anything, the neighbors may have it decorated by morning.
00:41:42Love it.
00:41:43Actually, I'm gonna put that in the article.
00:41:45You better show the byline.
00:41:46Oh, yeah.
00:41:52Have a good evening, Amelia. I'll see you tomorrow morning.
00:41:55You'll be map ready?
00:41:57Map ready.
00:41:59Okay.
00:42:22Okay.
00:42:38Okay, muffin. Let's do this.
00:42:49Okay.
00:42:52Okay.
00:43:03Philippines. 12.8 degrees north, 121 degrees east.
00:43:11Okay.
00:43:15Christmas in the Philippines.
00:43:22Wow.
00:43:43Wow. These pictures are fantastic.
00:43:46Think you could use any of them?
00:43:48Are you kidding? This is exactly what the map needs. Now we just need to choose which ones.
00:43:54We could even use this one as a clue.
00:43:59You took these?
00:44:00Well, they answer the age-old question.
00:44:02Where in the world is Drew Campbell?
00:44:05How about I call Sam and get us some lunch delivered? Looks like we may be here a while.
00:44:10Lunch is on me. And it's not in the office.
00:44:14Oh, sounds like an adventure.
00:44:16A geography adventure.
00:44:18You wanted experience and color, right?
00:44:22Let's go get your camera.
00:44:24Okay.
00:44:27Old Cove Hill?
00:44:28Seen many a sled?
00:44:30We're lucky the kids are still in school, otherwise this place would be packed.
00:44:34Lucky us.
00:44:35But experiences can be educational.
00:44:38Oh, yes. The geography adventure.
00:44:40Old Cove Hill is 300.6 feet long and 212.56 feet high.
00:44:45And there is the Amelia we all know. To the decimal.
00:44:49The incline is a 55 degree angle. You know what that means, don't you?
00:44:53Yeah. It's gonna be fun.
00:44:55Sure is.
00:44:56Feeling brave?
00:44:57Let's do it.
00:44:59Alright.
00:45:00Alright.
00:45:03Oh.
00:45:08Uno, dos, tres.
00:45:14Oh, yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
00:45:23Oh, my goodness.
00:45:24Look at you.
00:45:31Okay, again.
00:45:34Oh, yeah.
00:45:47Again.
00:45:48Oh, my goodness.
00:45:52No hands.
00:46:02I'm good.
00:46:12Oh, my gosh. I'm pretty sure we hit 40 miles per hour on that one.
00:46:16I think we did.
00:46:17Oh, I forgot how much fun this was.
00:46:19Yeah, you could put that on a map, couldn't you?
00:46:21Hey.
00:46:22I concede some experiences are best in person.
00:46:27Okay.
00:46:28Okay.
00:46:29Now I'm hungry.
00:46:31Let's get the lunch out of the car.
00:46:34And I need my camera.
00:46:36I mean, look at those trees.
00:46:46Cold?
00:46:49I don't know.
00:46:51Okay.
00:46:56Okay, come on.
00:46:57Otherwise, it's going to be the best frozen turkey club you've ever had.
00:47:07Was it you who said I wasn't adventurous?
00:47:11Oh, that must be a different Drew Campbell.
00:47:13Right. Well, just in case, I brought proof.
00:47:18Guess what's in here.
00:47:19Oh, I don't have to taste it to know that that's not—
00:47:21Hot chocolate.
00:47:22Oh, thank you. I felt like I was turning into a peppermint latte.
00:47:33Do not put that in your magazine.
00:47:35I'll probably look like a mess after sledding all afternoon.
00:47:37No, and it's for me.
00:47:42Salud.
00:47:44Cheers.
00:47:47I think we're closer to finishing the map than you think.
00:47:50Just have a few decisions tomorrow, and then we can hand it in to the web designers.
00:47:53I can't wait to see it finished.
00:47:54I still need to decide what the Christmas treasure is, though.
00:47:58We could brainstorm tonight.
00:48:01Yeah, and then you'll be free to enjoy your Christmas.
00:48:05Thank you for helping me.
00:48:07My pleasure.
00:48:08And thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to show me around.
00:48:14When do you leave?
00:48:16Well, the article has to be turned in for the Christmas edition, so I should probably be back in the office in a week.
00:48:25You'll miss Christmas Eve.
00:48:28Regrettably, yes.
00:48:31But you got a taste of small-town Christmas.
00:48:33Thanks to you.
00:48:34No, it's Crescent Cove, really, but I'm glad I could help.
00:48:39Oh, you're freezing.
00:48:41Let's get you warm.
00:48:42Let's get you warm.
00:48:44I'm cold.
00:49:08That is truly unbelievable. Muffin only likes my mother.
00:49:13You got great taste, Muffin.
00:49:22Okay, and this one?
00:49:24Ottawa, capital of?
00:49:26Canada.
00:49:31Wow, this is certainly a well-traveled tree.
00:49:35Zoe is well-traveled. She brought most of these home for the family.
00:49:39I was thinking about the name of our map. Where's Christmas?
00:49:41Clever, isn't it?
00:49:43Great question. Maybe one we're both trying to answer.
00:49:47What do you mean?
00:49:48You with your maps, me with my small-town exploration. I mean, is Christmas possible in a far-off place, or is it at home?
00:49:57Well, I hope Christmas is in the North Pole, because that's where our map leads.
00:50:01Come on, you know what I mean. I mean, maybe we're both trying to answer the same question.
00:50:06It's possible.
00:50:12Amelia?
00:50:13Oh, that's my family.
00:50:21Hi!
00:50:22Hola, sweetheart!
00:50:23Amelia, we can see you!
00:50:25I can see you too, mama. You guys having fun?
00:50:28Oh yeah, we took Tristan to the park. It was 70 degrees here this afternoon.
00:50:32Oh, not here.
00:50:34How's the map coming, honey?
00:50:35It's almost done.
00:50:36I can't wait until you see it.
00:50:38Is he there?
00:50:40He's here somewhere.
00:50:42Amelia, I'm really worried about you. I don't like you being all alone at Christmas.
00:50:48I'm not alone. Don't worry.
00:50:53Is there someone there right now, Amelia?
00:50:56There's just someone who's helping me with the map.
00:51:00Is this someone I hate?
00:51:02Mama!
00:51:03Tienes un conejito maravilloso.
00:51:06Yes! He's the greatest bunny in the whole world.
00:51:09Where in the world is Drew Campbell?
00:51:11He's in my daughter's living room.
00:51:13Who?
00:51:14Who's he?
00:51:15Mom, Dad, Zoe, this is, this is Drew.
00:51:18I've read about all your explorations and your photos are magnificent.
00:51:21Oh, I appreciate that. Thank you, sir.
00:51:25Hey, what are you doing here?
00:51:26I'm here to see Tristan.
00:51:28Your photos are magnificent.
00:51:29Oh, I appreciate that. Thank you, sir.
00:51:32Okay, well, we won't keep you.
00:51:34I haven't even asked if Mom can see it yet.
00:51:36Yeah, later, sis. Love you. We'll call another time.
00:51:39Nice to meet you, Drew.
00:51:41Nice to meet you, too.
00:51:47And that was my family.
00:51:52Are you okay? I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. They can be a little...
00:51:56No, no, no. Your family's great. You have a really great family.
00:52:02It's your family?
00:52:04Uh, both my parents passed away.
00:52:08Drew, I'm sorry.
00:52:09Ah, it's okay. I just really don't want to talk about it.
00:52:17So, what goes on top of the tree? An angel or a star?
00:52:26Please don't tell me a moon.
00:52:30Oh, you're a star girl.
00:52:33You want to do the honors?
00:52:35Sure.
00:52:41Good.
00:52:43You want to know why I'm a star girl?
00:52:46Yeah.
00:52:48Let's go.
00:52:57Oh, small towns sure do get quiet.
00:53:00Well, it's easier to sneak around, huh?
00:53:03So, where are you taking me?
00:53:05Here.
00:53:07Isn't it beautiful?
00:53:08It is.
00:53:10So, is this why you have a star on your tree?
00:53:13No.
00:53:15This is.
00:53:24Come here.
00:53:27Come here. Stand right here.
00:53:30Do you see it?
00:53:31No.
00:53:36Oh, wow.
00:53:37Yeah. It only comes up when the moon is high.
00:53:41My dad used to bring Zoe and I here. He called it the Christmas star.
00:53:45He said, if we ever wandered far away, this would be right here to lose you.
00:53:52Wow.
00:53:53In all my travels, I haven't seen anything so simple and unique in a place.
00:54:02Amelia Martin!
00:54:05You best plug that gazebo in, young lady.
00:54:13You're a lot more daring than you give yourself credit for.
00:54:15I might need the name of your lawyer.
00:54:17Preston Cole, fugitive, on the run.
00:54:22I think I'm just about done here.
00:54:27Well, I won't ask the obvious question.
00:54:30I do not know where in the world he is.
00:54:32He could be climbing a roof under a tree. Possibilities are endless.
00:54:36Good one.
00:54:37But I did finish the map layout this morning.
00:54:43Ah.
00:54:45Well, it's even better than I imagined. The kids are going to love it.
00:54:50Drew was a great help.
00:54:53At first, I wasn't sure if you two were going to work with each other or kill each other.
00:54:58A Christmas miracle.
00:55:04Mr. Mayor.
00:55:06Mr. Explorer.
00:55:09Cinnamon spice?
00:55:11Adventurous choice.
00:55:14Amelia finished the map.
00:55:16Without me.
00:55:17Hmm. Finishing touches. It's 10 a.m. Blue time is blue time.
00:55:22And I have a date at noon.
00:55:24A date?
00:55:25Yep.
00:55:27Want to join?
00:55:29I wouldn't miss it for the world.
00:55:31Oh, before I forget, I wanted to invite you to the office party on Christmas Eve.
00:55:36You won't believe how we transformed the showroom.
00:55:38No, Horace. Drew will be gone before then.
00:55:41Oh. Actually, I've been considering staying through Christmas and you just made my decision easy.
00:55:46Fantastic. I'll let Megan know.
00:55:48Alright.
00:55:49Megan!
00:55:53What about your article?
00:55:55Didn't send it via email.
00:55:58Muffin will be very pleased.
00:56:01I can't let him spend Christmas alone.
00:56:07What do you think?
00:56:09Hmm. Very nice.
00:56:10Right?
00:56:14A date, huh?
00:56:15Sam closes the cafe at noon once a year during the Christmas season and we wrap donated gifts.
00:56:22Take all the pictures you want. Don't think you're avoiding wrapping, celebrity or not.
00:56:27Sam!
00:56:28Hey!
00:56:29Where do you want us?
00:56:30Thank you for coming. Follow me.
00:56:46People love you.
00:56:48I don't know about that. Everyone I talk to praises you. Tell me how great you are.
00:56:55Really?
00:56:56Mm-hmm. I think the novelty of Drew Campbell is turning into watch your step with Amelia.
00:57:00I guess she's one of our own.
00:57:01Yeah, well, small towns are like large families. I'll just have to assure them how great you are, too.
00:57:10Besides, you're leaving soon, so there's nothing for them to be worried about.
00:57:14Amelia, I might just...
00:57:15These actually have to be wrapped and delivered by tomorrow.
00:57:19Right.
00:57:20We don't want any kids waking up and wondering, where's Christmas?
00:57:23No, I guess not.
00:57:25All right.
00:57:26Yeah.
00:57:35You know I come from a small town, too.
00:57:38You do?
00:57:39Yeah, about two hours from here. My dad was a farmer, but he had an adventurous heart.
00:57:44And he used to set up explorations for the both of us.
00:57:49Now that I think about it, they were treasure hunts.
00:57:52Full circle.
00:57:58Hey, I don't mean to pry, but would it help if you shared what happened?
00:58:06It was an icy road at night.
00:58:09Happened five years ago, but I was in Thailand.
00:58:14Part of the reason for being safe side this year is to tie up some loose ends that I've been avoiding.
00:58:22I guess I finally realized that conquering the world wasn't going to conquer the sadness that I've been leaving behind.
00:58:31Yeah.
00:58:33I'm sure regardless of wherever you were, your parents were proud of what you were doing.
00:58:39Yet here I am.
00:58:41Back in a small town for Christmas.
00:58:45Good old Christmas coffee's been good for me.
00:58:49Well, thank you for sharing with me. I'm sure it wasn't easy.
00:58:53You know what? It wasn't hard.
00:58:57You have a way of making things...
00:58:59Simple.
00:59:00I mean that as a compliment.
00:59:02Here.
00:59:04The adventure set should look extra special for that little explorer to find it under the tree.
00:59:09Hey.
00:59:12You're the bravest person I've ever met.
00:59:16And it has nothing to do with the adventures.
00:59:19But don't sell yourself short.
00:59:21I see the fire in you too.
00:59:32Beautiful.
00:59:33You like it?
00:59:34Yeah.
00:59:46Well, thanks for all your help.
00:59:48Ah, that was amazing. Thank you.
00:59:51So, are you planning on going back to work?
00:59:54No.
00:59:56I think I feel another adventure coming on.
00:59:58Do you?
00:59:59Yeah. Come on.
01:00:03Amelia! What's the hurry?
01:00:05Hi, Officer Riker!
01:00:06Hey, Jo!
01:00:23Now you've done it.
01:00:24So, is the jail in this building or are we going to get moved out of here?
01:00:27You should start taking pictures because I think you can get away with just about anything.
01:00:31So, what is the longitude and latitude of Crescent Cove?
01:00:3441.3 degrees north, 89 degrees west.
01:00:38It's own unique spot on the earth.
01:00:40Yes, but you can't feel this on a map.
01:00:46Crescent Cove cursed this!
01:00:49How are you feeling, brave Amelia?
01:00:52I feel...
01:00:54I feel like...
01:00:56I feel like...
01:01:08Amelia Martin!
01:01:10Get down here!
01:01:16I could charge you with mischief and trespassing.
01:01:19Anything to say for yourselves?
01:01:21It's my fault, Joan. I shouldn't have...
01:01:22I would do it again, Officer Becker.
01:01:26I'm not sure if Mr. Campbell here is a good or a bad influence on you, Amelia.
01:01:31It's not the first time I've heard...
01:01:34When I ask the question, where in the world is Drew Campbell next week, I hope the answer is not Crescent Cove.
01:01:41Yes, ma'am.
01:01:42Got this whole town turned on its ear.
01:01:44I know, and...
01:01:45And Amelia here. I mean, heaven knows what's happening.
01:01:48Her sister's the Cavalier Martin of the family, not her.
01:01:52Consider this a warning, you two. It's Christmas. Go build a snowman or something.
01:01:58Thanks, Officer.
01:01:59You're welcome.
01:02:09You know, you still haven't told me what you've decided.
01:02:13About what?
01:02:14Christmas treasure.
01:02:16What is the X that marks the spot?
01:02:18What is the X that marks the spot?
01:02:20You're gonna have to wait till Christmas Day like everyone else.
01:02:24Come on. Tell me.
01:02:26Nope. You'll have to follow the clues. We're gonna test your normal knowledge.
01:02:32So I was hoping, or, well, thinking, I would like to spend Christmas Day with you.
01:02:40And Muffin, of course.
01:02:44Oh, sorry. Is it rude to invite myself?
01:02:46No, it's fine. We'd love to have you.
01:02:54So, what are you doing for dinner tonight?
01:02:56I don't know.
01:03:12Well, what do you think, Muffin? It's been a while since I've been on a proper dinner date.
01:03:18Right?
01:03:23Well, thankfully, it's not you I have to impress.
01:03:31What am I doing, Muffin?
01:03:34I am way off the map here.
01:03:38He's leaving in a few days, and if my calculations are correct, which we both know they always are...
01:03:48I am headed straight for heartbreak.
01:03:57But maybe it's worth it.
01:04:01Because you cannot experience love on paper.
01:04:07I will tell you everything when I get back.
01:04:13Could you at least pretend to care?
01:04:19Sure.
01:04:28Horace! How are you?
01:04:31Oh, fine, fine. Look at you. Special evening planned?
01:04:35Yeah, I'm meeting up with Amelia for dinner.
01:04:38She's a wonderful girl, Drew. We all thank the world of her.
01:04:42I can see why.
01:04:44I have to say, I am just a little concerned. I'd hate to see her hurt.
01:04:50Well, I would never hurt Amelia.
01:04:53Of course not. Not on purpose. But soon you'll be off on your next adventure.
01:04:58You'll forget all about Crescent Cove. And her.
01:05:03With respect, sir, I think I might find it impossible to forget all about Amelia.
01:05:09Well, I believe that too. But think of her, would you?
01:05:33Oh, here, Audrey.
01:05:51Hi.
01:05:55I'm good, how are you?
01:05:57Good, how are you?
01:06:04I know.
01:06:05Very eager.
01:06:07You can tell.
01:06:12Amelia! Hey, you look lovely.
01:06:20Sir.
01:06:23Amelia, this is Connie Landry.
01:06:26Hi.
01:06:28Oh, hi, Connie. Yes, I've heard so much about you.
01:06:31Oh, no. Editor stories are never good.
01:06:33Oh, no, no. Nothing to worry about. Everything that Drew has told me has been positive.
01:06:39I'm a little surprised to see you in Crescent Cove.
01:06:43Well, after you called me the other day raving about the place, telling me you need a little bit more time with the article, I thought I would come and check it out for myself.
01:06:53Ah, well, the article isn't the only reason I want to stay a few more days.
01:06:59How, how is the article coming?
01:07:01Great. I'm thinking of calling it Where's Christmas?
01:07:05Oh, I like it.
01:07:09So, Amelia, tell me about you.
01:07:13Well, I'm a cartographer.
01:07:16I would have never guessed.
01:07:18Well, spend five more minutes with her and you'll see.
01:07:24Have you always lived in this little place?
01:07:28Crescent Cove is small, but mighty.
01:07:34Drew, how do you find it?
01:07:36It's becoming one of my favorite places.
01:07:40Really? After being all over the world of the places you've seen?
01:07:45Yep. Even after all of that.
01:07:48Phil?
01:07:51We have a problem.
01:07:53No, I was right.
01:07:56Of course I want him to be happy.
01:07:59I know, but I don't know how.
01:08:02I don't know how, but I do.
01:08:04I don't know how.
01:08:06I don't know how.
01:08:08I don't know how.
01:08:10I don't know how.
01:08:12I don't know how.
01:08:14I don't know how.
01:08:15Of course I want him to be happy, but I'm not losing our best explorer to a small town romance.
01:08:41Ready?
01:08:42Yes, but first I wanted to make sure that you got these back, your North Pole photos.
01:08:47They were perfect inspiration for the design team.
01:08:50Oh, you should keep this one.
01:08:56Yeah, seeing you frozen will bring me warm memories.
01:09:01Shall we?
01:09:03Yeah.
01:09:07Hey, have you ever spent Christmas in the Philippines?
01:09:10No, I haven't been there yet.
01:09:12But that is not where we're going.
01:09:22Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
01:09:26Hey, jingle bell, jingle bell.
01:09:28Okay, we're headed northwest. It has to be Newcastle.
01:09:32Would you stop guessing? It is a surprise.
01:09:35Okay.
01:09:40Okay.
01:09:58It is your home, isn't it?
01:10:01It was.
01:10:03You grew up here?
01:10:05A couple hours away and I never knew you existed.
01:10:08It's funny when you think about it, right?
01:10:11Someone lives here now?
01:10:13Yeah, yeah, Tad and his family. He's been caring for the house and farming on the land for the last five years.
01:10:18Wow.
01:10:20Okay, thank you for doing this for me.
01:10:23I'm not exactly sure what we're doing, but I'm here.
01:10:29Drew! Good to see you, brother. And you brought company for once.
01:10:34Hi.
01:10:36I'm Amelia.
01:10:38Nice to meet you.
01:10:40Looking forward to seeing you.
01:10:44Looking good.
01:10:46Please, come on in, guys.
01:10:48Yeah, thanks.
01:10:55You must be pretty special to him. He's never seen fit to introduce us to anyone in the past.
01:11:01Wow, well, I'm very flattered.
01:11:05Did you meet the reindeer while you were in the North Pole?
01:11:07Well, I met a reindeer, but the elves like to keep the location of Blitzen and his buddies top secret.
01:11:14I mean, imagine all the tourists if they knew how to get there.
01:11:17But, I'm gonna tell you something, though.
01:11:20A couple of nights, I heard sleigh bells.
01:11:24Santa!
01:11:26Oh, yeah, you better watch out. He's coming to town.
01:11:29You know what, I think you should save some of those cookies so he knows you're ready for him.
01:11:33I'm ready.
01:11:35I know.
01:11:37Hey, man, this was so great, but Amelia and I should probably get going.
01:11:41Ah, before I forget.
01:11:45Chad?
01:11:47Merry Christmas.
01:11:56Come here, man.
01:11:59Of course.
01:12:02You're as fine a man as your father.
01:12:05I can only hope.
01:12:07Merry Christmas.
01:12:09Nice to meet you.
01:12:21You didn't just give your family farm away, did you?
01:12:24Uh, no. I asked to have what he could afford. I mean, he's been faithfully looking after this place. He deserved the deal.
01:12:32Well, he's right. You are a good man.
01:12:34Yeah.
01:12:36It's not my home anymore. I just want to take it in one last time.
01:12:42Yeah, take all the time you need.
01:12:43Cool.
01:12:55You know, I just realized what I want my last memory of my childhood home to be.
01:13:01Oh, yeah? What's that?
01:13:02What's that?
01:13:07So, you romance lots of girls on this porch?
01:13:11No girl like you.
01:13:19Mr. Campbell, your scarf. You left it on the couch.
01:13:25You can't leave it here. You'll get cold on your adventure.
01:13:28Well, thank you, Matthew. I appreciate you looking out for me, little man. You be good, okay?
01:13:34Sound it.
01:13:35Alright.
01:13:40Here you go.
01:13:41Yeah.
01:13:47So, that's why you had to see your lawyer?
01:13:50Yep. The sale has been in the works for a while now. I just needed to come back home so I could sign it and make it official.
01:14:00Well, you made them very happy. It's a beautiful Christmas gift.
01:14:05I think I got the gift.
01:14:07But where will you call home now?
01:14:10I don't know.
01:14:13Hey, Connie. How you doing?
01:14:16Drew, where are you?
01:14:17I'm just running a personal errand. What's up?
01:14:21I need you back immediately. Mount Merapi is about to erupt.
01:14:25That's in Indonesia.
01:14:27What's the timeline?
01:14:29The VHP thinks it's imminent. We need you there yesterday.
01:14:33Okay, let me call you back.
01:14:35Drew.
01:14:36I said I'll call you back.
01:14:48So, you want to come see a volcano with me?
01:14:53You know I can't do that.
01:14:57But thank you for the offer and for everything.
01:15:03It's been great getting to know you.
01:15:10Promise me two things.
01:15:11I'll try.
01:15:14One, don't compare yourself to anyone else.
01:15:19There is no one in the world like you.
01:15:24Trust me, I love you.
01:15:30And second?
01:15:33Every once in a while, I need you.
01:15:37And second?
01:15:40Every once in a while, ask for yourself.
01:15:45Where in the world is Drew Campbell?
01:15:57Get that.
01:16:01Connie. Yeah, I know. I'll make it.
01:16:04Thank you. I'm leaving now.
01:16:13Yeah, I'm ready.
01:16:34Merry Christmas Eve, Amelia. Peppermint latte?
01:16:37No, Sam. I'll go with a cranberry chai.
01:16:40You're not working today, are you?
01:16:42Not really. I'm just popping in to make sure that the launch of our Where's Christmas map is ready.
01:16:47Our kids are excited. They can't wait to try it.
01:16:50There you go.
01:16:52Wow. Oh, let me.
01:16:54Oh, no, no, no. On the house.
01:16:56Thanks, guys. Merry Christmas.
01:16:59Get on with your bad self.
01:17:00That's my fastest one yet.
01:17:13Good morning, Amelia.
01:17:15Feliz Navidad. The place is looking great.
01:17:18We went with the winter wonderland theme this year.
01:17:20Oh, I can't wait to see it all lit up.
01:17:22Oh, Amelia, a package arrived for you.
01:17:24For me?
01:17:26I put it on your desk.
01:17:28From who?
01:17:30My return address.
01:18:00Merry Christmas.
01:18:56Amelia.
01:18:58Hi. I thought you guys were calling tomorrow.
01:19:00Trust me.
01:19:02Well, isn't it Christmas morning there? You guys should be opening gifts.
01:19:05We already did. Tristan had us up at five.
01:19:08Oh, of course.
01:19:10Yeah, Mom and Dad are playing with him and his new toys now.
01:19:12But his favorite gift is at Amelia's map.
01:19:15Really?
01:19:17Yeah. He already had Mike help him hang it. It's right above his bed.
01:19:20I'm so glad.
01:19:22I can't wait until he finds out all the clues lead to him.
01:19:25Hey, you okay?
01:19:27Yeah, I'm good.
01:19:30But I need to tell you something.
01:19:33I'm all ears.
01:19:36I'm leaving the map company and I'm telling Horace tonight.
01:19:41You're what?
01:19:43What happened?
01:19:45So much has happened, but I've decided to make my own maps, like Tristan's.
01:19:51See if I can create a business out of it.
01:19:54Amelia.
01:19:56But first, I'm going to do some traveling.
01:19:59I have to see the colors and taste the flavors of a place in order to make my maps.
01:20:05Are you sure?
01:20:07I better be. I got a plane ticket to the Philippines the day after Mom and Dad get back.
01:20:14And Zoe, I owe you a thank you for being so brave.
01:20:21You paved the way.
01:20:24Always do what your heart tells you to do.
01:20:27Nothing more, nothing less.
01:20:32Feliz Navidad.
01:20:34Feliz Navidad.
01:20:43Feliz Navidad.
01:21:09Hi, Horace.
01:21:10Hi, Horace.
01:21:12Amelia, you look lovely.
01:21:14Thank you, Horace. And so does the room. I can't believe it's the same place.
01:21:18Turned out pretty great, didn't it?
01:21:21I have to tell you something before I lose my courage.
01:21:25You're leaving us.
01:21:28How did you know?
01:21:30You think I haven't known that you would outgrow the Crescent Map Company?
01:21:36What will you do, Amelia?
01:21:37Well, I was thinking of doing my own thing.
01:21:40Making custom lat-long maps for people like the one I made for my nephew.
01:21:44You will have great success. There's nothing else like them on the planet.
01:21:48Actually, I will be doing some traveling right away. Research. So, I'll need to give my notice.
01:21:56I'll tell you what. Would you give me the honor of being your first investor?
01:22:02What?
01:22:03What?
01:22:05It's your business, but I'd like to finance your first trip.
01:22:10Then you can print the maps here, in-house. We'll work out the details. What do you say?
01:22:15Horace, I don't know what to say.
01:22:18Don't take it as charity. I'm betting you're a pretty good investment.
01:22:28I just don't know who's going to help me choose Ellen's Christmas gift.
01:22:33Oh, Megan got the earrings. Did you get them wrapped? I'm sure your wife will love them.
01:22:37Thank you, Amelia. For everything.
01:22:40Merry Christmas.
01:22:42Merry Christmas.
01:22:50Looks beautiful.
01:22:59I think someone's looking for you.
01:23:02Yeah.
01:23:06Hey.
01:23:09What are you doing here?
01:23:11I heard I couldn't miss this party. You look beautiful.
01:23:20You want to dance?
01:23:22No one's dancing.
01:23:24We'll blaze our own trail.
01:23:32Merry Christmas.
01:23:44What happened to the volcano?
01:23:46It erupted without me.
01:23:49That's too bad.
01:23:51On my way there I got to thinking of our Where's Christmas map.
01:23:55You did.
01:23:58I know the answer.
01:24:00I know where Christmas is.
01:24:05It's not in the North Pole.
01:24:08It's not even in Crescent Cove.
01:24:17It's here.
01:24:22I like that answer.
01:24:25You asked me what I'll call home after I sold the barn.
01:24:30And it hit me.
01:24:36Home is you.
01:24:40You make me feel at home.
01:24:44So, wherever you are, as long as I'm with you, I'll always be home for Christmas.
01:24:54And if that means getting married,
