Allison, before you go,
I can't find the Skylark property brochures.
Oh. I put them in the cabinet.
Oh. It's right here.
Thank you.
By the way, thank you for letting me leave early today.
Uh, actually--
Oh. Did you change your mind?
No.
Your Christmas gift.
Belinda--
The Nutcracker?
For you and your mom.
I don't know what to say. I mean, you're so busy
and you have to order these so far in advance.
Stop. You make time when it's important.
Thank you. Enjoy the show.
Do you have any plans for the holidays?
I'm actually going home.
How many years has it been?
Too many.
But my oldest and dearest friend is about to get married,
and she wants to introduce me to her fiancé.
Which reminds me, I'm having dinner tonight with Logan
after my 4:00.
Well, at least the florist will have some time off
while you're away.
Yeah, and also, Logan's assistant,
'cause we both know he's the one that's ordering them.
(chuckling)
Well, I should get going, but thank you again.
Merry Christmas.
Belinda, I'm glad I caught you before your next meeting.
What's up?
I just got off the phone with Caleb Foster.
Now, it turns out he's got his heart set
on a particular piece of property
in your hometown of Deerfield.
He wants to build some new luxury condos there.
I'd keep that under wraps.
Condos in Deerfield?
I can't imagine that's going to go over well.
Exactly.
And acquiring this property is essential to our firm
keeping our biggest client.
I don't have to tell you how important that is.
I understand.
Now, I've arranged for you to meet with the local realtor
when you get there. Um, Something Coggins.
Tim?
Tim. That's it.
You know him? It's a small town.
He was the main realtor even when I lived there.
That's why you're perfect for this.
Now, I'll send the documents as soon as I get them together.
And Belinda, it would be ideal if you could close this
before the end of the year.
I'm on it. Good.
That way I can tell Foster how our newest junior partner
closed the deal.
Merry Christmas.
Did he actually use those words? "Junior partner"?
Well, it's not official,
and I haven't seen any of the paperwork yet
or the property.
Details.
You know the local realtor. It should be an easy close.
There's no such thing.
(sighing)
Do you realize what this means?
With your promotion and the deal I've been working on
for the past three months, this will be great for us.
Except we'll be even busier than we already are.
We'll juggle it.
Anyway, Merry Christmas.
Shouldn't I wait until Christmas
to open this?
Yeah, that's the thing.
What? No, no, no. Come on.
This is the first time I'm going home in forever.
I want you to see where I grew up.
I want you with me. Meet Faith and her fiancé and--
Slow down.
I'm not saying I'll miss Christmas.
Just right now, I can't fly out with you tomorrow.
(sighing)
I'm do my best to get there. All right?
Promise?
Absolutely.
Besides, it sounds like
you got some important work to do,
so maybe it's for the best.
Maybe.
So?
Aren't you going to open it?
It's beautiful.
Wait. Who are they?
Yeah. That photo came inside the locket.
I couldn't find one of us together in time.
Sorry.
It's lovely,
and you still have a few days until Christmas
to find the perfect picture of us.

♪
Okay.
There you go, Mrs. Reynolds,
but I'd definitely get that oil checked.
Mrs. Reynolds: Perfect. Thanks, Dustin.
Do my eyes deceive me?
Is this an optical illusion?
Good to see you, Dustin.
Really?
'Cause just the way you said that,
I don't think that's fully truthful.
Come on. It's been years since all that.
Well, for what it's worth, it's nice to see you, too, Bel.
Uh, I saw the scavenger hunt sign on the way in.
That's a blast from the past.
Yeah. Well, you know how we are in Deerfield.
We're crazy about our Christmas traditions.
Yes, you are.
Wait. Is that--
Is that why you came here, for the scavenger hunt? No.
I'm, uh, here for work. Busy.
Oh. Oh, you came back for work?
Yeah. Yep. And Faith. Uh, Faith is engaged,
so she wants me to approve the fiancé.
Yes. I heard some rumblings
in the old gossip mill about that.
(chuckling) How about you?
How about me what?
Uh-- Am I engaged?
Uh, nope. No, I'm not engaged. I-- I'm seeing someone.
A guy. His name is Logan.
Coming out here soon, so that's good.
How about you?
No. I came close, though.
Just didn't get around to saying the whole "I do" part.
Still breaking promises, I see.
I deserved that.
Yeah, you did. Did she?
You know, I think you'd be glad to know
that it was a mutual breakup.
Oh, a mutual split. Lucky her.
So, you guys talked about it, then, together?
Discussed it? That's nice.
All right. Well, I'm going to get going. This has been great.
But, uh,
got a bit of a drive to go see my dad, so-- Oh. Tell your dad
I'm going to come by soon and fix that pipe for him.
Okay.
See you in another 10 years.
Bye, Dustin.
(jazz piano playing "O Christmas Tree")
There's my girl.
Hey!
Mmm.
Hi, Dad.
I'm happy you're here, kiddo.
Yeah.
It's been too long
since we had Christmas in this old house, huh?
Oh, come on. Christmas in the city
at my apartment is not all bad, is it?
No. As long as I'm with my little girl, all is well.
Hey, where's Logan? Is he getting your luggage?
Uh, no. He's not coming.
Oh, you dumped him? I don't blame you.
Listen. That guy is so rude, last Christmas Eve
he took a call right in the middle of dinner. That's--
I remember. No, I didn't dump him.
Oh, okay. He's taking a later flight.
Are you hungry? I'm starving.
All right. Let me help you out there. Thank you.
I got a new rib recipe. And you sit down right there.
(gasping) My goodness. And enjoy.
Enjoy, enjoy.
I love all the Christmas decorations.
You did a really good job.
Thank you. Well, you know,
your mom used to go all out for Christmas,
so I thought I better bring my A-game if you're coming home. Yeah.
And what was it she used to say?
"You got to celebrate life." Right?
Well, we're celebrating here, so that's a good start, right?
Yeah, we are.
I ran into Dustin on Bridges Road.
He said he's going to stop by to fix your pipes.
Dustin?
Oh, that's right.
You guys were in love, right?
I remember that. Oh, you went away to college
and then said, "Bye."
He broke my heart.
Is that right?
Yes. He was supposed to come with me
and then he changed his mind last minute.
That punk. You know this.
Merry Christmas. I'm glad you're here.
(computer keys clacking)
(sighing)
(groaning)
'Morning.
Hey. 'Morning, sunshine. How did you sleep?
Ah. Best I've slept in a while, actually.
Oh, good, good.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Hey, you coming by city hall later?
'Cause we're going to pick the teams for the scavenger hunt.
Uh, yeah. I can do that.
I just have something I have to do for work first.
Does Dustin still do the scavenger hunt?
Uh, yeah. He's the reigning champion.
Well, he was always so competitive. Yeah.
He always acted like such a baby every time he lost a track meet.
The worst.
Really?
What are you doing here? (Carl chuckling)
The pipes, remember?
Right.
And the way I recall it is that you're the one
that stormed off when you lost to Wendy Johnson
at the long jump.
I didn't lose.
They measured from the wrong mark in the sand.
You know that. Sure.
You know, the way I remember it is you both came back here
afterwards and made a giant pot of chili
and you ate it all.
Although nothing beats your Sunday roast.
Thank you, sweetheart.
You always had to make extra gravy for this guy.
What's that supposed to mean?
Oh, please. You poured so much on your plate
it was like a sea of gravy
with little islands of mashed potatoes and meat.
Okay. All right. Well, at least
I didn't separate my food on the same plate.
Do you still do that?
I don't know what you're talking about. She does.
She still does that. You do.
Dustin: Well, good,
because we wouldn't want you to change.
Okay. Your sink is all fixed. I'm going to head out.
I will see you both at the town hall.
Yeah. Thank you very much. Bye.
I will see you down there. Probably see you.
Good guy. Boy, he's good.
Thanks a lot.
Mm-hmm.
So, what's his deal?
Is he, like, the town handyman now or something?
Um, in his spare time.
He's the director of operations
for the Textile Heritage Mill and Museum.
Really? Yeah.
Has he ever said anything to you about the museum?
You know, how it's doing, or--
Well, as a matter of fact,
he just suggested that we take
the proceeds from the scavenger hunt
and donate it for some much-needed restoration
down there at the museum.
Yeah? I think it's going to need more than that.
I got to go, Dad.
I'll see you at town hall. Bye.
Bye.
Man: How long have you been with Jaspar Development?
Belinda: Uh, it's been about two years now.
So, I'm sure you're up-to-date
with what's going on with this old relic.
Hmm.
Great piece of property,
but I don't have to tell you that.
No, you don't.
I spent a lot of years behind these walls,
volunteering with my mom at all the events.
A lot of great memories here.
Well, this place is a part of our community's history.
My own grandfather worked here back in the day,
when it was just the textile mill.
Hmm.
Before they added the museum.
A part of me is reluctant to pass it on to a company
who I hear wants to turn it into condos.
Well, we don't know that just yet.
Well, I'm starting to look at offers,
and with your company's reputation,
you'll be a frontrunner.
With the museum so far behind in their payments,
we don't have a lot of bargaining room.
Is there anything they can do to raise the money
to help prevent the buy-out?
To be honest, it would probably take a Christmas miracle.
Right.
All right. Well, how would you like to proceed?
Well, between you and I, no one in town
really appreciates how dire the situation is with this place.
And I'd prefer to keep it that way,
seeing as it would cause a great deal of angst.
And who wants that over Christmas?
I understand. It's good to see you again.
Yeah. You, too. Happy Holidays. Thanks.

You came!
Of course I did.
I have to give my thumbs up to the man
you're about to spend the rest of your life with.
Oh, my gosh. The rest of my life.
(laughing) (laughing)
You don't have to sound too freaked out.
Oh, honey, I'm kidding. I can't wait to start.
Yeah.
Jason, this is my maid of honour, Belinda.
Hey. A pleasure to finally meet you.
Hi. Hey.
Faith speaks very highly of you.
Well, you picked the best woman here.
I've known her my entire life.
Where's Logan, by the way? Is he coming?
He was.
Uh, is. He is. He's just gotten delayed at work.
I'm sure he'll be here, and when he comes here
I can't wait to meet him.
If not, I'm sure he'll make the wedding.
He has until January to get here.
Speaking of, we have so much planning to do.
That's my cue.
Excuse me. I'll be right back.
Bye. Bye.
Well?
Oh, you guys are so cute. I'm so happy for you.
I'm just so happy that you're here.
And after the hunt, we have major planning to do.
I have a million photos to show you.
Yeah. I can't wait.
We've only been planning this since we were 10.
Oh, my gosh. I know.
And I was going to marry Gavin Dawson
and you were going to marry Dustin, but--
By the way, he's here somewhere. Have you seen him?
Yeah. He was at my dad's this morning, fixing a leaky pipe.
Was that okay? Yeah, of course. It's fine.
I just wasn't expecting to see him so much.
But you know, I'm with Logan now and you're with Jason.
(someone pounding a gavel)
Oh, there's your dad. It's about to start.
This is the fun part, picking the names.
Well, I'm only here as an observer, so--
That's what you think.
Why? What did you do?
I might have thrown your name in the hat.
Faith, no. I haven't done this in years,
and I kind of have a work conflict.
No. Mason from the bakery
dropped out because he sprained his ankle,
so then someone will be short a team member.
It's just one day. It's for a good cause.
Ugh.
Come on. Fine.
Are we ready? (cheering and applause)
Woo!
All right. For the rookies out there
and anybody else that's forgot, let's go over the rules.
Very simple. The hunt starts tomorrow morning,
8:00 a.m. sharp.
(no audio)
You get your next clue
when you show proof you've completed your first task.
And everybody's clues are in different order.
Okay?
Now, you know it's our tradition that we help people
and organizations in our town.
And this year, we are doing restoration
for the Textile Heritage Mill and Museum.
Ah, yeah!
Carl: I think that's a worthy cause.
All right. Let's get it started. Let's pick some teams.
Okay. Here we go.
And first, Joe Hoover.
Team one.
Who's going to be your teammate, Joe?
Monica Heeley.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay. Ready? Team number two. Okay.
Two names on one.
Faith Wheeler and Jason Wilson.
Wait a second.
Dustin Cooper, know you, love you.
Who is going to be your partner?
Here we go.
Your partner will be
my own Belinda Phillips.
(applauding)
There you go.
You've got to be kidding me.
I'm sure it'll be fine.
You're with Logan now, right? No big deal.
Carl: Let's do team number four now.
Oh, hi, partner.
Is it just me, or is this déjà vu?
Oh, my gosh. That's right.
'Cause that's how you guys
first got together in high school. That's so cute.
You know, I'm thinking that peonies
might be really nice for my bouquet.
So, I'm just going to go call the florist.
Mm-hmm. Bye.
Come on.
So, what? You changed your mind about playing?
Uh, no, I didn't.
Faith threw my name into the hat
in place of Mason.
Ah. Well, it's nice of you to help restore
a little of this town's history.
Right.
Well, since we're going to be a team and all,
maybe we should learn to communicate.
You know, make sure that we tell each other
what our plans are
and then don't deviate from those plans.
Okay. All right.
I hear what you're saying, loud and clear.
Good.
Then we're on the same page, I hope.
You look nice, by the way.
Just pick me up tomorrow.

Hey, Dennis. Hi, Belinda.
Give me the update.
Um, so I met with Mr. Coggins today,
and it seems like they're ready to sell.
That's great news.
Except the townspeople, they're raising funds
to help restore the building.
The mill is kind of a big piece of our history here.
Well, we both know
that's not going to change anything.
Just let me know when you seal the deal, Belinda.
Uh, yep. Will do.
So, they're selling the old mill, huh?
Sorry. I couldn't help but overhear.
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I just found out myself this morning.
Is there nothing we can do?
It's waterfront property. Prime real estate.
You're just doing your job, huh?
I don't know. This--
This sale, it just feels different.
What I do doesn't normally affect this many people,
especially not people that I know
and people who have memories there.
I don't want to be the scrooge who sells everyone out.
If it wasn't you, it would have been somebody else, okay?
And I'm proud of you, because you work hard.
Yeah, except now I've been roped into
this scavenger hunt with Dustin, of all people,
who thinks that we're going to be working together
to restore the museum.
All day, my behaviour
is just going to seem completely underhanded,
because I know that the restorations
aren't going to make a difference.
Well, you got to tell him the truth,
and you can't beat around the bush.
And Dustin knows you.
He won't judge you.
It'll be okay.
You're a good girl, you know that?
Look at this room.
Oh, I know.
My God. All right, honey.
(knocking on door)
Hey, Dustin. Big day, man.
Ready to defend your title?
It shouldn't be too hard. I got a great partner this year.
The dream team is reunited, man.
Yeah? We'll see. Oh, honey.
Bye. Bye.
All right, you guys. Go get 'em. I'll see you down there.
Can we stop and get a coffee?
Way ahead of you.
One cream, three sugars.
Thank you.
Now, I need you to bring your A-game today, okay?
What, you think I'm going to bring anything less?
No. No, I know who I'm dealing with.
And in case that coffee is not enough,
here's a little sample from the kit.
You actually made one? Oh, yeah.
I mean, that was the best part,
seeing all the Christmas snacks
your mom would pack.
Well, it's a good thing I skipped breakfast, then.
All right. Let's do this.
All right. There she is. Belinda 2.0.
Focused and ready.
Well, someone's got to
take this team across the finish line.
You know that I'm the reigning champion
of the scavenger hunt, right?
I would be too, if I never left. Get the lead out.
(ignition turning)
Carl: All right, everybody.
All right, guys. Now, listen up.
You have until the stroke of midnight
to complete all the tasks from the clues provided.
Okay?
(cheering and applause)
Hold up your phones.
You're about to receive your first clue.
Everybody, ready,
set, go.
Carl (pounding gavel): Tick-tock. Tick-tock.
Okay. First clue.
"They come in all shapes and sizes.
"No one compromises.
"They bring the outdoors in.
"Talk about a win.
Tall and green and meant to be seen."
Well, it's a good thing I got my truck,
because we're off to the woods
to see about a tree.
Dustin: So, where do you get your trees in the city?
Belinda: To be honest, I just get one of those little ones.
Well, I'm glad your dad at least got a proper one.
He said it was so important
because you were coming back this year.
Hmm. Did you get it for him?
Ah, not really. I mean, I took him out here.
I found one. I cut it down.
Took it back to his place. I set it up.
Thank you. I wish I could get out here more.
I've just been so busy with work.
That's all right. I get it.
Uh, so, how is work, anyway?
Good. Yeah, they keep promoting me,
so I must be doing something right.
I'm actually up for junior partner.
Really? Yeah.
That's great. It doesn't surprise me.
From what I remember,
you're good at everything you ever did.
Do you at least enjoy what you're doing?
Sometimes I have to do things that are a bit of a challenge.
Like, there's this deal that I have to close
in order to get my promotion, and--
Just hold that thought.
I got it.
Uh, you sure?
'Cause there's a huge hole on this side of it.
What? Ah.
I think we can do better.
I mean, we just got here. Look at all these trees.
That one.
Ah, yeah.
(sniffing)
Agreed?
Agreed.
What are you waiting for?
Oh, yeah. Right.
(saw grinding against bark)
So, why did you break off your engagement?
Oh. Uh, you know, I think that we were just both
looking for something, and we thought that
we found it in each other,
but it turns out we were wrong.
You know, it's okay.
We figured it out before it went too far.
So, what about you?
Any wedding bells in your future with this, um, Logan character?
We're good. We're on the same page
with work and other stuff.
Great! Good.
So, I guess you've found the one.
I don't know.
I wasn't really looking when I met him.
You know what they say. Seek and you shall find.
Do you know where all of these scavenger hunt trees are going?
Yeah, yeah. Your dad has arranged that
they all go over to the assisted living facility,
just in time for their tree-trimming luncheon.
Do you think he'd mind if we took this one someplace else?
What do you have in mind?
I'll show you. Keys, please.

Yeah. He doesn't have any family to speak of,

Oh, please do not start on your Bigfoot theories again.
I think you mean Yeti, because Bigfoot is
a fictional character.
They're both urban myths.

That was freshman year,
and it was the track team pulling a prank on you.
You think those guys were capable of
creating those footprints?
Yes, I do, because they fooled you.
But what about the sighting?
There was no sighting.
That was just Toby dressed up in a costume.
But it looked so real.
All right. I'm going to give you a little leeway
because it was dark around the campfire.
But all you saw were just
these ominous shadows. That's it.
But everyone was screaming.
Well, was everyone screaming or were you screaming?
Oh, wow. You were in on it.
Maybe. I might have been.

It's because I couldn't.
What do you mean?
Just before we were supposed to go,
I found out my dad lost his job.
And I knew we were going to be struggling,
so I got a job and I stayed back.
I just-- I had to help.
Why wouldn't you have just told me that?
Because I didn't want to hold you back.
You wouldn't have.
Bel, I know you. If I told you I wasn't going to go,
you never would have went.
It's okay, though. I mean, look at you.
You did it. You're this big success.
It's what I wanted for you.
I'm sorry. I didn't know.
You don't have to be sorry.
I mean, I could have written,
and I guess I could have called you, too, but--
Oh, wow.
You were just out there doing your thing,
and I didn't want to disrupt you.
I don't know what to say.
"Thank you" doesn't really feel quite right.
You don't have to say anything.
I mean, I'm just happy that we're here right now
and I'm finally able to tell you this.
So, we're friends...
...I hope.
Yeah. Friends.
(both phones beeping)
Oh. We should, uh--
Right. Tick-tock.
Yeah.
Well, from where I'm standing,
our snowman definitely takes the cupcake.
Definitely.
Listen. I'm sorry about dumping all that on you back there.
No. I'm really glad you told me.
We're good.
Oh. Uh, what did you want to tell me?
Oh, don't worry about it. We should get going.
Okay.
Okay. What do we got?
"He's the main attraction. King of all the action.
"Someone who brings joy not just in the form of a toy.
"Loves giving for a living.
"With this legend take a photo,
and then together, drink lots of cocoa."
Red suit?
White beard?
Probably stuck in a chimney somewhere.
Well, looks like we have an appointment with the big man.
♪ The best time of year ♪
♪ Is finally here ♪
♪ An over-packed sleigh and nine reindeer ♪
♪ Fly through the air the big man steers ♪
♪ There's still so much left to do ♪
♪ Santa's got something for you ♪
(sighing) Wow.
This brings me back.
It's amazing how little changes around here.
Yeah. Well, you know us in Deerfield.
We like our traditions, but we love our history.
So, is that why you're working at the mill museum?
Uh, yeah, I guess.
I mean, I do love this town's history.
I just-- I think I love giving back even more.
We've created these workshops
as part of our outreach to the community.
Just last year, we actually started
this afterschool program with the local district.
Sounds like you made the right decision staying here.
Yeah.
Yeah. Maybe. Hey, let's get in line.
So, have you dated anyone since you broke off your engagement?
I'm not sure I want to tell you.
Why?
Because I might have dated...
...Wendy Johnson.
My long-jump nemesis?
What's wrong with you?
It was, like, one coffee. That was it.
And then I came to my senses.
It just felt wrong.
I kept thinking about how hurt you were
that day at the track,
and how she just kept rubbing it in your face.
So, you thought of me on your date, huh?
Well, yes, but only because
it was so easy to make the connection.
Right.
She was your nemesis. Yep.
Hey, Mr. Dustin. Hey, Dex.
Are you here to see Santa, too?
Yes, we are,
but it's a secret.
I'll tell you, but you can't say anything.
Scout's honour.
Okay. We're on a scavenger hunt.
Cool.
Oh, Dex? This is Belinda.
Hi, Dex. Nice to meet you.
You, too.
Dex, um-- His dad brings him to the workshops
I was telling you about, every Sunday.
Oh.
Hey, buddy. Is your dad here?
He's over there.
I just finished telling my wish to Santa.
(Belinda gasping)
What did you wish for from Santa?
To have my mom home for Christmas.
She's across the ocean, in the Army.
Oh, I see.
I hope Santa can make that wish come true.
Me, too. See you later.
Okay. Bye.
Bye, Dex.
How is Santa going to make that wish come true?
Christmas is the time for miracles.
Okay. Come on.
Yeah.
Hi. We're just going to get a quick picture.
Is that okay?
Okay. All right.
Cheese.
(shutter clicking)
Thank you. Merry Christmas.
Thanks. Bye.
Okay.
Thank you.
Sent and done.
Hey. Hi.
So, have you guys finally settled down yet
or do we have a mutiny on our hands?
Don't throw us off our game. We're good.
Dustin: Oh. Um, I just--
I got to go talk to Dex's dad real quick. I'll be right back.
Yeah. Bye-bye and thank you. I have to talk to you right now.
Okay. Uh, Jason, sweetie,
can you go and get me more hot chocolate?
Yeah. Thanks, honey.
It's full. Just go.
Belinda: Bye.
Thank you.
You are never going to guess what Dustin just said to me.
What?
He said the reason he didn't go to college with me
was because his dad lost his job
and he had to stay here and take care of his family.
Seriously? So, he didn't bail on you?
No. And he said the reason he didn't tell me
is because he didn't want to hold me back.
My gosh. That is so sweet.
You know what this means, right? What?
He was still in love with you.
He didn't not want to be with you.
He just felt that he couldn't.
This changes everything.
Oh, it changes nothing, Faith.
How can you say that?
Because it's been 10 years,
and I'm with Logan now.
I was with Gavin before I met Jason.
And thank goodness I didn't marry Gavin,
because then I wouldn't have given Jason a chance
and I wouldn't be marrying the man that I should be with.
Yeah. Well, I'm not marrying anyone, so thank you for that.
But you will. So, who will it be?
I don't know how to answer that.
Ask yourself if you still love Dustin.
Just find where your heart is.
Dustin: Okay.
I just talked to Dex's--
What's going on here? You guys look so serious.
I was just telling Faith
how you dated Wendy Johnson.
You what? You dated--
I just told you that.
Right. You did. You did.
(phones chiming)
Oh.
Oh, right.
Well, let's not forget that we're in the middle
of a scavenger hunt here, people. Right. The hunt.
So much problem-solving and searching and finding.
It's very enlightening, isn't it?
Yeah. Loud and clear. Thank you.
Have fun. Bye, guys.
Faith is really trying this year.
Yeah. So are we. What's the clue?
All right. "Look around at your neighbour.
"It's fun and easy; not a labour.
"Is there something that they need?
"Plant the seed and perform a kind deed.
"You can't resist. You want to assist.
"Open your heart.
It's time to come together, not apart."
That's not very specific.
No. It probably means that we have to do it on our own.
Okay. Neighbour. Kind deed.
Doing something nice for someone.
Oh. Uh, kindness to strangers.
Shh. Shh.
(whispering) Kindness to strangers.
Okay. So, maybe they want us to do--
Perform a random act of kindness for a stranger?
Hey, everybody. Hot chocolate is on me.
(cheering and applause)
Uh, yeah. Technically--
Technically, that is just being generous.
So, I don't think we should cross it off the list just yet.
But I have an idea of how we can make it better.
Also, you just ordered hot chocolate
for everyone in the village except for me, so--
Right. I'll get on that.
Yeah. Extra marshmallows. Thank you.
Belinda: They had said to show kindness to a stranger.
We may as well return to James' home and help decorate.
It finally feels like Christmas in here.
Oh, you kids are so kind.
Please stay and have some biscuits with me.
Thanks.
So, James, what-- what do you do for Christmas?
Well, I'll make myself a little bit of chicken with some gravy,
and then I'll put on some Christmas music
and I'll retire with a book.
You know, I'm having Christmas at my dad's this year.
You should join us.
No, no. I wouldn't want to impose on your family.
No, you wouldn't be imposing at all.
It's just gonna be the two of us.
We would love the extra company.
Well, that sounds lovely.
I'd be so thrilled to join you.
Belinda: Good.
So, tell me more news.
News, ah... Oh, you know the museum?
Yes. I donated to the building of the museum.
Well, it's in desperate need of restoration right now.
So, all the money that we're making for the scavenger hunt
is gonna be donated to the museum.
How wonderful.
Perhaps I'll get into town to see it when it's done.
I-- I don't-- it might not be there when you do.
What?
I'm sorry. I've been wanting to tell you.
My boss arranged a meeting about the mill
with Tim Coggins while I was here.
The realtor?
Yeah. One of his properties is the mill.
Okay. I... I don't understand.
They're really far behind
on their payments, Dustin,
and the only thing they can do is sell.
So...
they're gonna sell to one of my clients.
James: Oh, that's a real shame.
I know.
I'm so sorry, Dustin.
So, when is this gonna happen?
Before the new year.
And then... what? They're gonna tear it down?
Belinda: I don't know.
But that would be my guess.
God, I'm really sorry.
If there was anything I could do to change the outcome, I would.
I don't know about you two,
but I still believe in miracles.
I mean, look at me.
Here I am, sitting with two young people,
who've come to share their Christmas spirt with me.
So, have faith.
You never know what might happen this time of year.
I think we did a really good job
on the outside of the decorations too,
don't you think?
Yeah. Bel, why didn't you just tell me about the museum?
Because I knew you'd be upset.
Look, I don't want you to think
that I don't care about it because I do.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do.
If I couldn't take the promotion
and it meant that you could keep your job
and we could save the museum, I would do that.
I know that you didn't want any of this to happen.
It's just a lot to digest right now.
Seems like we're both digesting a lot of unexpected information.
Listen, Bel, you're one of the best people that I know.
Look at what you did in there.
Come on, we did that.
Well, we make a pretty good team.
We do make a really good team.
Wow. We are uncovering a lot on this scavenger hunt.
We're not even halfway done.
(phone chiming)
Great. Well, let's see what other revelations
we can come up with.
"This residence is a miniature dwelling,
"but the ingredients are quite compelling.
"All the frosting can be exhausting,
"but the candy makes it dandy.
"The walls and rooftop sheets are made of sweets.
"Once you're done, you can eat the treats."
Sounds like we've got a gingerbread house to make.
Sweet!
(chuckling)
♪
Dad?
I guess he's still at town hall.
Yeah. Looks like it's just the two of us.
Uh, I'm gonna go change.
Okay, I'll put this stuff out.
♪
Okay.
What?
Uh, nothing.
Just you always look so nice in red.
It kind of reminds me a little bit
of that dress you wore at prom.
That was a pretty memorable night, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I mean, it was the night I realized
that I wasn't gonna be going to college with you.
But, um,
I've laid everything out and we're ready to go.
All right, yeah. I haven't done one of these in a long time.
Come on.
Wait. How 'bout this?
♪
We did it! (chuckling)
(laughing)
Really?
I'm starving.
How are you starving? You just ate all the candy.
It's empty calories. Come on,
we'll go to the cafe in town. We're halfway through.
I need some Christmas fuel to finish.
All right, fine.
But we gotta take a quick selfie before we leave.
Okay.
Ready?
(camera shutter clicking)
Perfect. All right.
(bell ringing)
Whoa.
All right, now, this is the first place we've been
that actually looks different.
Yeah, well, this is all Jennie.
Wait.
"Carl's fire-crackling chilli." Is that Carl as in my dad Carl?
Yeah. It looks like
we're not the only ones that enjoy his chilli.
I could just imagine
that bird perched on your head.
I know.
Hi, Dad.
How you doing, Bel? Hey, Dustin.
How are you guys?
Really good.
You know, your daughter is just a natural at this whole thing.
Oh, Carl, this is your daughter?
Carl: Yeah. Yeah.
I've heard so much about you,
when he's not talking about food, that is.
(laughing) I'm Jennie.
Nice to meet you. I love what you've done with the place.
Jennie has turned this place into a gourmet diner.
You know what? You should be on that TV show.
What's it called? Diners and Times or--
Don't be silly.
I wouldn't know what to say in front of all those cameras.
But you could do all the talking.
Are you saying that I talk too much?
Yeah, maybe I am.
Dad, how come you're not at town hall?
Oh, because it's lunch
and I thought I'd give the volunteers some chilli.
Ah. And if you'd both like a bowl,
I would suggest you order it right now
because we are down to the last two.
I could go for a bowl. How 'bout you?
Yeah. That sound great.
All right, it's on the house.
Oh, thanks, Jen.
Yeah. Nice, nice.
Well I better get back because I bet everybody's starving.
So, have a good day.
Bye, Dad.
Jennie: Here you go.
Two bowls of the crackling fire chilli.
Wow. Thank you.
Your father really knows his way around a kitchen.
When he made me his famous roast dinner,
that was something. (chuckling)
Well, enjoy.
Thank you.
Did you hear that?
He made her dinner, our roast dinner.
I like that we don't have a song,
but we have a roast dinner?
You're not listening.
Dad and Jennie are totally dating.
No.
You think? What? Are you crazy?
Did you see the way she was laughing and holding his arm?
Kind of like the way you're holding my arm right now?
Ugh.
Why wouldn't he tell me?
Maybe he's afraid of the way you might react.
Big change when a parent has somebody new.
I guess. This is so good.
They really do make a great team.
Hey, out of curiosity,
what would you think if your dad did find somebody new?
I think it would be great. Plus, you know,
everyone deserves a second chance at love.
Yeah, I think they do.
(phone chiming)
Oh. All right, next clue.
Oh, it's from Logan.
He got his flight.
Oh. Uh, great. Good.
Faith: Hey, look at you guys sitting at your old table.
Dustin: Oh. Hey, man.
Oh my gosh, I didn't even realize.
Bel, you should get a milkshake and share it,
just like you did in high school.
Actually,
they make a pretty mean strawberry milkshake here.
How can you say no?
Jason, babe, can you go and grab us
two of the Christmas pepper mac and cheese?
Yeah, cool.
And a milkshake to go.
Sure. Thanks, babe.
So, where are you guys? We're halfway through.
So are we. Dustin: Yeah.
And Logan texted. He's on his way.
Oh. Uh, he can make it?
Belinda: Yeah. He booked his flight.
That's-- that's great.
Right?
It's really good.
(phone chiming)
Oh.
Is that the same one?
Belinda: Same.
"Small in scale,
"it's contents contain specific detail.
"They pull the sleigh and guide the way.
"Not all have a nose that glows.
"Their world contained within a sphere,
you can see through it, it's clear."
"When you shake it, there's flakes and glitter.
"No worries, it doesn't litter."
All: Snow globe.
Jason, get all that to go.
No! What about our food?
No, we'll get it later. Come on. Gotta go.
Let's go. Thank you.
Okay, so what? It's just like any snow globe?
No, there was a specific clue. It said, "Pull the sleigh
"and guide the way." There's a reindeer in it.
Oh, if anybody's gonna have it,
I'd be the Antique Emporium down the street.
Okay. But first...
Hey!
Mmm. It's Christmas fuel.
Oh, perfect. Look at this.
Wow.
There's really something so magical
about these little worlds.
Yeah. Look at the intricate detail on this church.
Wait, is that a reindeer?
Belinda: No, that's a horse.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you think they're gonna notice?
You wanna make a rookie mistake like Faith did?
No. I don't.
I'm gonna go ask her if she has any more.
Okay.
Beautiful.
My dad gave one to my mom on their one year anniversary
with a little picture of the two of them inside of it.
She never took it off, ever.
Yeah. I remember.
She doesn't have any more snow globes,
but I did find out that there is a lady
that lives down the street that has a whole collection
of vintage snow globes,
and that woman's name is Mrs. Murphy.
Mrs. Murphy, our old music teacher?
Yeah, the very one.
Oh, wow. She was always so nice to me,
even though I couldn't hold a note.
Yeah, I remember that, too.
(chuckling) Come on.
Belinda: Thank you.
So, what do we do if Mrs. Murphy
doesn't have one with a reindeer?
Oh, we'll just cross that snow-covered bridge
when we come to it.
Hey, remember when Mrs. Murphy
found us at the bleachers after curfew?
Oh, I was grounded for a month.
Oh, I'd say it was worth it, wouldn't you?
I don't know. Wasn't that the night
we swore we'd go away to college together?
(knocking)
(sighing) Listen, Belinda,
if I could have done things differently, I would have
because...
What?
(door opening)
Look who it is - Dustin and Belinda.
Patricia called a few minutes ago to say you were on your way.
Come on in.
You know, I think the last time I saw the two of you together
was when I was chaperoning prom.
You made such a striking couple.
I always knew you'd end up together.
Oh, we're not...
Together.
Hmm. Pity.
Wow. So, where did you get all these from?
Well, every summer,
when school would let out, I'd go away on a trip
and I collected them.
So, you know, this one is from Prague and, oh,
this one's from the Canary Islands.
Wow. You know, I never actually had you pegged
as a world traveller, Mrs. Murphy.
Uh, Margaret.
That's okay.
Students don't usually see their teachers
as anything but homework assigners.
So, Patricia mentioned
you needed a reindeer.
Dustin: Oh, perfect.
Rudolf himself. Okay, all right.
Why don't you hold that up?
Take a quick photo. Perfect.
Okay, great. Thank you.
Thank you so much. You're so welcome.
So, Belinda, where did you end up?
Uh, I went off to college
and now I work for Jasper Development.
And you two came together for the scavenger hunt.
It was a random draw.
Oh.
I see.
Yeah.
That one I recognize.
That was on your desk at school, right?
It was.
And you know what? You should have this.
Oh, we couldn't.
I insist.
I need the space for more snow globes. Please.
Thank you.
You're welcome. Let me get you a bag.
Nice birds.
Oh. Yeah, I, uh-- I can't do it either.
(phone chiming) What?
Call her by her first name.
Oh, great. What do we got next?
Okay.
"Time to collect any puzzle, gadget or game.
"The looks on children's faces are one of exclaim.
"Whether it be a doll, book or train,
"the joy you will bring cannot be contained.
"Avoid apparel, when you toss into the barrel, basket or box.
"Remember, you're racing against the clocks."
That sounds like a toy drive donation to me.
Perfect. First stop - toy store.
Then, town hall.
Oh, this is amazing. I feel like Santa.
Hey, what was the best gift the big guy ever brought you?
Oh, easy - my scooter.
In the winter?
Yeah. My dad shovelled out the driveway.
I could do tricks on that thing by springtime.
(chuckling) What about you?
I liked the small gifts,
you know, the stuff that came in the Christmas stockings.
Actually, a lot like these finger puppets here.
It was just the first thing that I'd reach for
every Christmas morning.
Oh. Well, maybe I'll get you a little, tiny gift
and put it in a gigantic box, just to throw you off.
The best gifts come in small packages.
(phone ringing)
Oh. Uh, I have to take this.
Sure.
(phone ringing)
Wow, honey. This is so great.
You're gonna put a lot of smiles on those kids' faces this year.
Oh, kind of like the smile you had on your face
at Jennie's diner?
It's okay, Dad. I know you made her dinner.
Yeah,
and I was gonna discuss it with you over the holidays.
I think she seems really nice.
You guys have the whole food thing in common.
Yeah, we do. I just wanna make sure you're okay with it.
I think I am.
It's like you said,
we need to celebrate life,
which means that we should be celebrating Christmas
the way we used to,
not hiding away in my little apartment.
And if that means that we include Jennie in that,
I'm okay with it.
Thank you, honey. Yeah, 'cause, you know,
I was thinking she's alone for the holidays,
so I should invite her over with us 'cause, you know--
I made my turkey stuffing. It's gonna knock your socks off!
I hope you made a lot because I sort of
also invited James Brogue to dinner.
You really are your mother's daughter. Love you.
Did you tell Dustin about the museum?
(sighing) I did. Yeah.
And you were right, he didn't judge me.
That's good.
So, maybe I should make some extra gravy.
Huh? Huh? Huh? Stop! Stop!
Okay.
Well, that phone call made you happy.
Who was that?
I'm working on a bit of a Christmas surprise right now.
Yeah? Someone special?
Yeah, I'd say so.
Oh. Wendy Johnson?
(phone chiming) Oh.
Oh, great. This is our next clue.
"Open for interpretation, you can use your imagination.
"This task goes beyond a toy or trinket.
"You'll have to rethink it.
"You're asked to fulfil a young one's desire and will.
"This may take some skill, but it can be a thrill."
This one's hard.
Let me see. "Young one" must mean child.
They specifically mentioned
"beyond a toy."
And it's open for interpretation.
What?
That surprise that I'm working on,
I think it's gonna knock it out of the park
and knock it off our list.
Wait, no. We just got this clue.
Isn't that kind of cheating?
Oh, yeah, but I was gonna do it anyways.
I didn't know it was gonna be the answer to the next clue.
Well then, it's fate.
Yeah, well, isn't that was Christmas is all about?
Surprises? Magic?
Yeah, it is. So, what is it?
I should show you. Come on.
Let's grab one of these. (chuckling)
Oh, great. There he is.
Hey, Mr. Dustin. Hey, Miss Belinda.
Hi. Hi, Dex.
What are you still doing here?
Did you forget to tell Santa
something you wanted on your list?
No, but my dad says Santa has an early Christmas present for me.
Oh, he did, did he?
Well, you must've been very good this year.
I tried. I even shared my Legos with Sara Parker,
even though she's always chasing me at recesses.
Hmm. I think that means she likes you.
Eww.
You know, I actually used to chase this one around
and she actually agreed to be my girlfriend.
She's your girlfriend, Dustin?
Not now, but I was a long time ago.
Oh.
You'll get it one day.
Oh, um,
I think you're present just came early this year.
Huh?
Mom, you're here!
(crowd applauding)
You did this?
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, the museum has this old military wing.
It's funded by the corps.
So, I just-- I gave them a call,
explained the situation, and they pulled some strings.
It's amazing.
We all know how it feels
to be with the ones we love at Christmas.
You just gave that family a gift they'll never forget.
(phone chiming) Oh.
Oh, this is it.
All right, we're in the home stretch.
"So, time to enter the kitchen
"for a delicious tradition.
"Your creations will require fun-shaped cutters,
"you may need lots of butter.
"The icing is enticing and comes in many colours -
"red, green, blue, yellow and white.
"You can't resist taking a bite."
Yay! We get to make sugar cookies.
Great. Well, my place or yours?
Uh, do you have baking sheets?
Back to my dad's.
Pretty sure he has everything we need and more.
Okay.
Wow. You still have that?
Dustin: Oh. Oh, yeah. Of course.
Do you have any of the gifts I gave you in high school?
Dustin, I was devastated.
I had to forget about you in order to move on.
Yeah. No, I get that, of course.
Um...
Maybe that's the reason
why I'm having such a hard time with this.
(knocking)
Logan.
What are you doing here?
I told you, I booked my flight.
It came in over an hour ago.
I emailed you my flight info.
Oh. I...
I guess I haven't checked my phone in awhile.
Hi.
Logan, this is Dustin, my, um...
We grew up together.
Nice to meet you.
Yeah, you too.
Um, sorry, do you want a hand with your bags?
No, it's just a carry-on. I won't be here long, so...
Okay. Um...
We have to get inside, do some baking.
Baking?
Why don't I tell you about it inside?
Dustin: Okay, we need butter. And what else?
Excuse me. Sorry.
Hey, babe.
Eggs... Uh, we need flour and vanilla.
Wow.
Healthy.
Well, cookies, it's not veggies.
Besides, it's for a good cause.
You, uh, really seem to know your way around a kitchen.
Uh... yeah, I guess I do.
The cookies are for the annual town Christmas scavenger hunt.
Oh, right. Okay.
How did you get to pick your teammate?
Uh, it was random. It's a random draw.
Just picked out of a hat.
Right. Yeah.
How long does this hunt go on for?
It's just a day. It started at eight a.m.
and it finishes at midnight tonight.
I thought you said
you were working on closing that property.
Some old textile mill?
I am working on it.
There's just not a lot to do
until Mr. Coggins signs off on the proposal.
So, lots of time to make cookies.
Hmm.
(phone beeping)
Hey, Logan, why don't you help out?
Yeah.
Uh, with what?
With the cookies.
Oh. I mean, I guess.
I don't really know how to bake.
Dustin: Oh, it's not that hard.
Come on, we'll get you to work the mixing bowl.
Come on. Oh, you might want to take off...
Oh, right.
Yay, in the kitchen. That's a first.
Yeah, right?
Right. We're gonna add some butter.
All right.
And sugar. Sugar, yeah.
Is...? It's over here.
Yeah. No, I know where it is.
Dustin: You moved it? I moved it?
Dustin: Okay.
All right, that in there. All right.
Nice little-- perfect. You got it.
Another one? More sugar?
Dustin: Sure. Why not? The sweeter the better.
That's it.
There we go.
Whisk?
Great. Yeah. Here. Here you go.
Spatula? Okay, that works. Go around.
Okay, here we go. Oh, come on.
You're gonna have to put a bit more elbow grease in it.
There you go. You've got a good arm for it.
Yeah? Yeah.
Hey, this isn't too har--
(sighing)
Belinda: Ooh. Is that your silk tie?
Yeah, from Italy.
Sounds expensive.
It's hand woven.
No, I got it. I'm just gonna go try and clean it off.
(sighing)
I'm sure it'll come out! Yep.
You know it's butter, right?
Yes, I know it's butter,
but I'm trying to be positive.
We still have to do this
and there's only a few hours left before the deadline.
He seems... like a good guy.
He's really good.
He's really busy and he still made sure to come out here.
Well, kind of a given. I mean, it is Christmas
and nobody should be too busy that they can't enjoy it.
But I'm glad you're still into finishing the scavenger hunt,
even with...
You know me better than that.
I wouldn't leave my partner high and dry.
Now, put some elbow grease into it.
(chuckling)
And that... should do it.
(phone chiming)
Oh, it's the-- it's the final clue.
"Go back to where this all began.
"It's all part of the master plan.
"Time to get psyched and grab those mics.
"No need to croon, belt out a tune,
"until you feel over the moon.
"This is a duet, not a single.
"You'll both know the words to these holiday jingles."
This is Christmas karaoke.
This has got to be a first for the hunt.
Well, it's a good thing you're on my team -
you can sing for the both of us.
Yeah, well, unfortunately for everyone else, it's a duet,
so you have to sing.
(laughing) Stop.
Take these to the truck. I'll be right there.
Uh, sure. Yeah.
Uh, did you get your tie clean?
As well as I could.
I'll send it to the cleaners as soon as we get back.
(sighing)
Looks like I have to cut my stay short.
I got a meeting on the 26th.
The day after Christmas?
Exactly. Christmas will be over. God, the Wi-Fi here is terrible.
But we discussed staying until at least the 28th.
Yeah, but things are getting crazy at work.
You get it. (phone ringing)
Wait. Just before you--
Morgan, did he agree to the terms?
No, that's unacceptable.
No, I never agreed to 30%.
Just meet me at town hall.
Yeah, I can't. Yeah, fine.
I'll take a look and get back to you as soon as I can.
Where's Logan?
He's meeting us there.
You all right?
I'm fine. Why?
It's just that you tend to stuff your face
when something's the matter.
I'm fine. Let's go.
Okay.

Is that your dad onstage?
Your dad is the DJ.
Let's get things thing started.
He's actually not that bad.
Ooh, have you guys picked your song yet?
Me and Jason did "On the First Noel."
We've been practicing our harmonizing, just saying.
Harmonizing?
It's fine. Don't worry about it. Um...
Oh, we could do "The 12 Days of Christmas."
It's just-- it's like a rhyme,
only sing it.
All right. I guess we've come this far.
Might as well finish it off.

Good job.
You came. I did.
Sorry about earlier. I couldn't miss that call.
Oh my gosh. You and Dustin were amazing.
So in sync, like always.
It was really fun.
Uh, this is Logan.
Logan, this is Faith and Jason.
Hi. Nice to meet you. And you.
All right, party people,
now we've come to the big moment
when we announce who the winner is.
But first of all, how about a big hand
for all of our participants?
How about it? Everybody was amazing.
You guys were amazing. How about a hand for yourselves?
It was a tough year to pick a winner 'cause it was so close.
But tonight's champions are...
Faith and Jason! Get up here!
It was obvious!
So much better than the other ones!
Faith, come on.
Congratulations, you two.
And our second place team, Dustin and my beloved daughter.
Not that close, really.
Anyway, you guys tried.
It's fun, though. You guys were fun.
Okay. I love you! Oh!
With all the pledges from our sponsors,
we raised $15,000
for the Textile Heritage Mill and Museum.
That's a big deal, people. Thank you. It's wonderful.
Thank you, honey. Thank you, buddy.
Thank you, guys.
All right, everybody, keep partying! Enjoy the night!
(audience cheering)
$15,000 -
that's amazing. I just...
I don't think it's enough to save the mill.
I wish there was something else I could do.
What are you talking about?
I mean, you did it. You did the scavenger hunt,
despite this whole conflict of interest.
You tried, Bel.
Logan: Hey. Did I hear correctly?
This whole event, the scavenger hunt
was to raise money for the building you need to close on?
What are you doing, Belinda?
Nothing. I'm-- I'm not doing anything.
I-- I don't want to sell the mill.
It's a really important part of this town's history.
And it would get you your promotion.
Are you losing focus here?
I'm... Sorry.
I don't care about that.
I don't care about that
as much as I care about...
(sighing) ...all of this.
James: Everyone, excuse me.
I just want to get your attention for a minute.
Some of you may already know me.
Some of you may have just heard of me.
All the same, I don't get out very much.
(chuckling)
And so, I've been fortunate
to have received a few visitors recently,
who've taken the time to sit and talk
and share the Christmas spirit and bring me a Christmas tree.
Thank you. (chuckling)
And it was during this couple's visit
that I learned about the plight of the mill.
Now, that place is...
near and dear to my heart,
as I'm sure it is to many of you.
And apparently, it's fallen on some hard times.
(crowd gasping)
But-but don't worry, don't worry,
because I have pledged to donate whatever funds are necessary
to keep the mill and the museum running for years to come.
(audience applauding)
Merry Christmas to everyone! (laughing)
Hey!
You did it! This was all you
because you went to James' house. You saved the mill.
No, we did it. We saved the mill.
Um, I have to go.
If I don't see you again before I leave...
merry Christmas, Dustin.
Oh, yeah.
Uh, merry Christmas.
Why are you letting her walk away?
Because it's not up to me.
♪
Carl: Couldn't sleep either, huh?
Too much excitement, I guess.
It is exciting.
It's not every day you get a Christmas miracle.
So, are you and Logan headed back right after Christmas?
I should probably prove that I'm still good at what I do,
even though I didn't close the deal.
You don't have to prove anything.
You know, there's more to life than working.
And... there's...
There's me, you got me.
And Dustin.
I never loved anyone as much as I loved Dustin.
But it's in the past. I've moved on.
You know,
I never loved anybody as much as I loved your mom
and I still love her.
That was ten years ago,
and I thought that's it.
And now, I meet Jennie
and then there's this spark of something,
but she's still in there, honey.
Don't close that up.
That's a big heart you got there.
Keep it open.
Give it a chance. Come on.
♪
Good morning.
Logan, I think we should talk.
We enjoy each other's company
and we've always supported each other, but I just...
I feel like it's not right.
It's no one's fault.
We just kind of fell out of sync.
Being here, it's brought back a lot of memories.
I understand. Really, I do.
And I hope you understand that...
(sighing)
...I can't do this either.
I mean, I get this is a great town,
but I have a plan and it's back in the city.
I wouldn't want you to give any of that up.
Yeah, and I don't want you to give up what you really want.
Thank you, Logan.
Good luck, Belinda. I'll go pack.
Hey, Logan,
make sure you have a merry Christmas,
not in the office or on the phone.
You should go visit your sister, even for the day.
I promise it'll be worth it.
I might just do that.
Merry Christmas, Belinda.
Merry Christmas.
Hey, Dustin.
Hey, Bel.
Sorry we lost.
I brought you some of my dad's chilli
to help make you feel better.
Wow. Thank you.
Um...
I don't know if we lost. I think it's kind of a win.
Wouldn't you say so?
I mean, if you think about it, we got a tree,
and we raised James' spirt.
We donated a bunch of really great toys for the kids.
You made a little boy's Christmas wish come true.
And you saved the museum.
But I think the best part of all of it
was that I got to do it with you.
I, um...
I broke up with Logan.
I tried for so long to get over you.
I buried myself in work.
I never came home.
When you told me the real reason that you had to let me go,
it changed everything.
I love you, Dustin.
I always have.
And I'm pretty sure I always will.
I missed you, Bel.
I missed you too.
Carl: All right, here we go. Be careful.
Wow.
(all chattering)
Here's the gravy boat for the table
and one just for you.
Are you serious? What?! Best Christmas dinner ever.
Carl: James? James: Yes?
Will you do the honours?
Oh, Carl, I don't know. It's been a long time since I--
Oh, come on.
Get over here. Get over here. Come on.
Come on. You got it.
Okay.
Jennie: Hasn't changed a lot.
Carl: Come on, buddy.
Get in there, pal. All right.
Belinda: What's this?
I don't know. Why don't you open it up and find out?
"Something smaller than a finger puppet
"that fits in the toe of a sock
"with a door that opens and shuts with a lock.
"It hangs now from the bow of a tree."
I thought the scavenger hunt was over.
Well, maybe not totally over.
