Good morning, Gracie.

You're not gonna give me any trouble today, are you?

Good girl.

[mooing]

What are you still doing here?

Didn't you have the 3 a.m. feeding?

It's a farm, Em. It's not a 9 to 5 operation.

I don't know what we'd do without you.

Well, you might find out sooner than later.

I haven't been paid for the last two weeks.

I know.

I'm working on it. I'm sorry.

We haven't gotten the fourth quarter subsidy yet.

I understand, Em.

I hate to even bother you because I know you always come through,

but... it's Christmas.

Gary and I wanted to surprise the kids with a trip to Florida.

But if you can't, then we'll wait.

Gloria, one way or another, I promise you,

you will be spending spring break

on a beach in Clearwater.

Well, that's a bummer because

we were planning on going to Orlando.

Even better.

I promise I'll get you there.

Thanks, Em.

Things will get better.

They always do.

I hope you're right.

[inhales]

What smells so good?

Chicken soup. It's on the stove.

Don't eat too much.

I want to give some to the neighbors.

Ah, well, we could always give 'em ice cream.

You want to help me with the Santas?

Uh... I wish I could.

Gotta go decorate the barn for the barn party.

Everything okay?

Not feeling very Christmas-y.

We're late paying Gloria, I hate doing that to her.

Sweetheart, she understands.

The end of the year is always difficult.

I'm sick of things being difficult.

How did Dad do it?

He was an eternal optimist.

That's why I loved him so much.

He believe that with hard work and perseverance,

that everything would work out.

Yeah.

I just want to go back to celebrating Christmas

like we used to.

We'll have a lovely Christmas, sweetheart.

Look, I have almost half the Santas out.

-This is half the Santas? -[chuckles] Yeah.

Oh, Mom, I love you.

There's nothing that warms my heart more than

a house full of Santas.

[chuckles] Well, your father was the one

to add to the collection every year.

I used to think we were getting too many.

I could really use a Christmas miracle right now.

I don't know how much longer I can keep this going,

and...

I know for certain that we can't do this without her.

If you're out there, will you please give me a sign?

Anything to let me know that this will all be okay?

Oh, are you kiddin' me, Dad?

[indistinct chatter]

Emily. So good to see you.

-Hey, Trey. -Come on in.

How are things on the farm?

Well, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

I need to extend our line of credit,

just until the fourth quarter subsidy comes in.

Emily, I hate to be a Scrooge here,

but extending your credit line any further,

it's not really a wise thing to do.

I just need to make it to the end of the year.

Let's have a seat.

Maybe you should think about selling the farm.

A lot of real estate developers would drool over that property.

Trey.

You knew my dad.

That's the last thing he'd want me to do.

Wow. You sure have inherited

your father's positive outlook on things.

But it's not always the most practical way of approaching business

and that's what this is.

Just business.

Not to me and my family.

He entrusted that farm to me.

Emily, he may have left you an impossible task.

But he gave me a sign.

He what?

Nothing.

Just extend our equity line for one month,

and get me to the end of the year.

[sighs]

Come on, it's Christmas!

Let me get the paperwork.

Thank you.

Oh, hey. How's your sister doing?

-Dorothy? -Yeah.

She's, uh-- I don't know.

I haven't talked to her in a while.

-Why do you ask? -Uh, no reason, I--

I just thought it might be nice to catch up with her,

you know, over the holidays.

She's pretty settled in New York.

I don't think she's gonna come home for Christmas,

but I'll tell her that you said hi

next time I talk to her.

Oh, yeah, sure. I mean, if--

if you think she'd appreciate that,

that would be so nice.

I'll be right back.

Oh, Gracie.

EMILY: How are you so smart

Come here.

I told you that we've got the barn dance coming up

and I'm trying to clean things up.

I cannot have you going around making messes.

-Okay? -Excuse me. I'm sorry.

-[Gracie mooing] -Hi. Oh...

I didn't know anyone else was here.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

You were in the middle of a conversation.

Oh, uh...

it's just Gracie knows how to undo the latch,

and so she's been wandering around, and--

You know what? Never mind.

No, please, please, go on.

It's just that my dad used to talk to the cows,

and he used to say--

"A happy cow is a productive cow."

-Dorothy. -Hey, Sis.

What are you doing here?

I've come to save Christmas.

What?

I see you've already met Charlie.

He's working with me on a project.

So this is your sister.

Uh, Dorothy's told me a lot about you.

Oh, has she?

Yes, of course I have, Em.

You're my sister.

And I'm here to help.

Good. The cow stalls need mucking out.

Eww. No.

Can we go inside and talk?

Sure.

Let me put Gracie away.

What is she doing here?

You ignore her. All right?

EMILY: It's too bad Mom's not here.

I know she would have loved to see you.

Well, I've been asking her to come visit me in the city for years.

Well, you know Mom,

she's a country girl through and through.

Just like her favorite daughter.

Dorothy.

She'll be home in a few hours.

Can you stay for dinner?

I was planning on it.

That's great.

Thank you.

So how are things going here on the farm?

Fine.

Really?

Then perhaps you can explain... this.

Maybe you've forgotten, Em,

but Dad left the farm to both of us.

Why didn't you tell me we were so far behind?

I should have.

I didn't want to admit it to myself,

let alone anyone else.

Does Mom know?

No. You know how much she worries.

She should be worried, Emily, this is serious.

It's fine, I went to go see Trey at the bank today.

Oh. How is Trey?

-He's good. -CHARLIE: Who's Trey?

No one. Don't worry about it.

Dorothy's high school crush.

Anyway, Trey has agreed to extend our line of credit.

Which only means you're delaying the inevitable

if you can't turn this around.

But like I said,

I'm here to save Christmas.

What does that mean?

I have an offer to buy the farm.

-What? -Just hear me out.

No. Absolutely not. Dad wouldn't--

Dad wouldn't want us to lose the farm to bankruptcy,

which is where we're heading.

Charlie here represents an investment group

that's interested in buying the property.

Out of the question.

And he's going to tell you about the offer.

No, that's completely unacceptable.

And then we'll discuss--

Not even a possibility, Dorothy.

-Our options. -No!

[scoffs] Go ahead, Charlie.

Well, like your sister said, I represent an investment group

that's interested in the property.

One of our clients is a dairy conglomerate.

Dairy World, and they're willing to pay a fair price.

Well, more than fair, really.

And they want to keep it operating as a dairy farm,

which means at least the property will remain farmland.

It'll get us caught up,

and it'll give us all-- you, me and Mom--

a little nest egg.

I don't care about a nest egg,

I want to keep the farm.

Look, Emily, I don't like this any more than you do.

I don't know about that. You seem pretty proud of yourself.

The reality is the farm's losing money.

We're falling further behind.

So, unless you have some kind of

Christmas miracle up your sleeve...

-Yes. -What?

A Christmas miracle.

What is your share of the farm worth?

$400,000?

That's the buy-out price we agreed to when Dad passed.

Fine. Then I'll buy you out.

Excuse me?

You heard me. I will buy you out,

and don't you dare say a word about this to Mom.

You let me tell her.

Emily, you can't even afford to pay your bills.

How are you gonna buy me out?

I'll figure it out.

It'll take a miracle, but I will figure it out.

This has been amazing.

It's so rare that I get a home cooked meal these days.

Be careful what you say around my mother.

You might go home with three weeks worth of leftovers.

Oh, hush, Emily. [chuckles]

But you should definitely take some leftovers home.

[sighs] Dorothy, it's so good to see you.

You need to come home more often.

Well, you can always come visit me in the city, Mom.

Oh, I don't know, Dot.

It's so far away.

So, what brings you to town?

[sighs] Just... business.

My two daughters, successful businesswomen.

[chuckles]

Uh, I love your Santas.

Can you tell me a little more about them?

They were my husband's mother's.

She collected them from all over the world.

CHARLIE: They're wonderful.

You never told me about the Santas.

I said they were creepy.

They gave me nightmares as a kid.

Oh, hey, nobody wants coal in their stocking.

[laughs]

What are your plans for Christmas? Can you stay?

Oh, no, I've gotta be heading back to the city,

and Charlie is--

Yeah, I'm gonna stick around for the sale of the farm.

[utensils clatter]

Excuse me?

-Mom-- -Wait, wait.

What do you mean the sale of the farm?

It's nothing, Mom, don't worry about it.

Well, it's not nothing.

What, uh--

We're having a little cash flow issue.

A little?

We're gonna take care of it.

-Emily. -Wait a minute.

Will someone please tell me what's going on here?

Mom, the farm is going under,

and we need to sell.

So good to see you, Dorothy.

It was really nice to meet you, Charlie. I'm--

Don't forget the leftovers.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I didn't-- It just--

Why would you upset her like that?

Why would you lie to her?

You think she won't notice when they foreclose

and the auctioneer shows up

to sell the house out from under her and all her Santas?

Don't bring the Santas into this, don't you dare.

It's not about the Santas.

I'm trying to save the farm.

And I'm trying to save our future.

Hey, maybe I'll just head back to the hotel.

The deadline is December 31st to commit to the sale.

But everything pretty much closes down

between Christmas and New Year,

so we have until Christmas Eve.

After that, the sale is going forward.

Look, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.

We're-- We're just trying to help.

Really.

[inhales, exhales]

[wind blowing]

[sighs]

I should have told you.

How did it get so bad, Em?

It's not like I did it on purpose.

I worked as hard as I possibly could.

And... month after month,

we just got a little further and further behind.

But I asked you.

You said you had it all under control.

There might have been a tiny bit of pride involved.

I'm so sorry, Mom, I--

I'm so embarrassed.

[sighs]

Okay, then.

We're done.

With what?

[sniffles]

Sulking and feeling sorry for ourselves.

Time to move on and...

solve the problem.

Just like that?

Yes, just like that.

It's not a problem. It's a challenge.

Now you sound like your father.

He gave me a sign, you know.

He gives them to me all the time.

Okay, let's list our assets and liabilities.

Liabilities first, that's easy.

Money. We need lots of money.

Time. We have less than three weeks

until Christmas Eve.

Hmm. What about the season?

It's winter. The ice cream shop's closed.

-Yep. -What about overhead?

Overhead's a big one.

Feed, payroll, maintenance, electricity.

I'd call Dorothy a liability.

She's the one that got us into this mess.

No, Dorothy just sped up the inevitable.

She's the one making us face the problem.

Challenge.

Challenge.

-What about Charlie? -EMILY: Unknown.

He is trying to sell the farm--

But... he is very charming.

He has kind eyes.

And he did compliment my Santas.

Okay, we're getting completely off track here.

We know what our liabilities are.

What are our assets other than Dorothy?

She's not an asset.

Whatever. You know what I mean.

You know what we have?

We have the best tasting ice cream in the entire world.

That's what we have.

Yeah. And you know what else we have?

-We have us. -Yes.

Three of the smartest, hardest working,

most capable women I know.

That's right.

So which one of these liabilities

can we actually do something about?

Overhead's pretty fixed.

We're already operating pretty lean.

And we can't move Christmas.

Why can't we do something about this one?

Uh, well, 'cause we can't change the position

of the rotational axis of the Earth relative to the Sun.

Just sayin'.

All right, well, it's cold outside right now,

and we're all sitting here eating ice cream.

New Englanders do eat more ice cream per capita

than anywhere else in the country.

And we eat it year 'round,

so why is the ice cream shop closed?

That's what we've always done.

But that's silly. People still want ice cream.

So that's it.

We open the shop.

Ice cream for Christmas.

without spending money.

You need to get people talking about you.

You need something like a...

And that will bring in extra customers.

this could completely change things around for us.

most delicious ice cream.

Nope. I'm not gonna tell.

Kudos to the chef.

Oh. May I say for the record.

My pie and your ice cream

are a match made in heaven.

You might be onto something.

-What? -Apple pie ice cream.

Like apple pie in the ice cream.

Yes. Exactly. Come on.

That was so delicious. Thank you.

You're more than welcome.

You don't want to put the added ingredients in too soon

or they get all minced up.

If you want to keep it chunky,

add the last bit

in the freezing process.

So what happens next?

We wait.

Okay.

I really think this could be a winner.

That'd be ironic, huh?

Your flavor is the one that saves the farm

from my sister's plan.

What's been the best so far?

It's hard to say, there's been a lot of really creative entries.

Here, come here.

Oh, wow.

Yeah. People have been pretty enthusiastic.

And interesting. Fruitcake ice cream?

I don't think that one's gonna sell.

Who?

Dorothy.

I know. I know.

I think she just doesn't quite get

Even when we were kids, she couldn't wait to move to the city.

She graduated and left right away.

I could never imagine living somewhere else.

Okay, fair.

Oh...

brown sugar, cinnamon, apples, but there's--

there's something else in there. What is that?

No.

Nutmeg. It's nutmeg, isn't it?

No, I told you I'm not gonna tell.

[chuckles]

Oh, what do we call this, Apple Pie?

No, it's too simple. It's gotta be about the feeling.

Grandma's Apple Pie.

Mm, yeah.

I mean, but it's gotta be about the combination,

That's too long and it has to be about Christmas.

-We're low. -Oh, no.

That's it for the Christmas a la Mode.

We went through all ten of them already.

Seriously? We need more pies.

Well, make them.

I don't have Charlie's recipe.

Just use a regular recipe.

No, no, the customers will be able to tell the difference.

Can't fake that one.

Okay. Uh, call Charlie.

EMILY: Hey, Dorothy, it's me, Emily.

Oh, hello, sister. You ready to sell?

Charlie tells me negotiations with Dairy World

are going well.

No, and that's not why I'm calling.

Is Charlie available?

Why?

Uh, he left something up here--

rather, he took something back down there with him,

and I just want to talk to him about it.

Which is it?

It doesn't matter.

I just need to ask him about it,

and maybe have him send it up to me.

Well, tell me what it is and I'll ask him.

No, I'd rather not.

Can you just give me his number?

I'm not sure I want to do that.

Please, Dorothy, it's important.

It must be if you're calling me.

Look, if you won't give me his number,

will you just please have him call me?

Please, out of the goodness of your heart?

Who says there is any goodness in my heart?

I'm just the evil sister who wants to sell the farm.

-Remember? -Dorothy--

Thanks for calling, Em.

Make sure you call again next time you need something.

Dorothy, what is the deal with this new offer?

-Are you-- -That was weird.

-What? -Emily.

She just called, wanted to talk to you.

Really? Why?

She wouldn't say except that you

brought something back here to New York or something like that.

It really wasn't clear.

What happened up there after I left?

I showed the buyers around.

And had dinner with Emily and my mother.

Yeah, well, that was nothing.

Evidently, not nothing.

Yeah, but that's not important.

What is the deal with this new offer?

Why are you talking to real estate developers?

I didn't go looking for another offer,

they approached me.

And if we have to sell anyway,

it turns out the farm is worth ten times more as housing lots.

Why would we turn that down?

I thought the whole point was

to leave the farm operating as a farm.

What's the difference? Farm, houses?

We don't own it anymore.

I think your sister would have something to say about that.

[cell phone buzzing]

-Hello. -Emily, it's Charlie.

Charlie, thank goodness. We are desperate here.

Did Dorothy tell you I called?

Uh, yeah, she did. What's up?

-I need more pies. -What?

I-- I made ten of them.

I know. Christmas a la Mode's very popular.

I can't keep it in stock.

Really, well, that's-- that's great.

Yeah, so I need your recipe.

Oh, uh, shoot, Emily, I'm sorry,

-I can't give that to you. -Why not?

Like I told you, it's a family recipe.

So what?

Well, it's kind of patented.

What? Seriously?

Look, you may want to Google search me and my family.

I don't really care who your family is, Charlie,

I have a ton of ice cream to make,

and I need your recipe.

Okay, look, I'll tell you what,

I'll come up on Saturday,

and, um, make some more.

Really? You're not too busy courting buyers?

Nope. Wide open.

Wow. Um-- Okay, that's great.

Thank you.

I'll see you Saturday.

Great, I'll see you then.

Well...

Yeah, but he's coming up this weekend.

Oh, he is?

Yeah.

Huh.

Hi.

Hey.

I did some research on you.

So you see my dilemma.

Yes, and I have a lot of questions.

We'll have plenty of time for that.

We got a lot of baking to do.

That's a lot of stuff.

A lot of pies.

You can't tell anybody about these pies

and where they came from.

EMILY: Right.

It's a recipe you found on the internet.

Maybe you got the recipe from your great grandma,

she brought it across from the old country--

Charlie. I get it.

Okay.

Hey, you need to cut those a little thinner, please.

Hey, slow down a minute.

Your family owns the largest independent pie company

in North America?

Yeah, owned.

Sold it about five years ago.

But your dad still runs it?

Yeah.

And why in the whole wide world

are you working with my sister?

You know, I was never really that enamored

by the food business, I--

I love real estate, I--

There's something intoxicating about,

you know, bringing people together

in a-- in a win-win and closing a deal.

A win-win like us and Dairy World?

You know, they're not all...

win-wins.

Do you even still need to work?

[chuckles] Yeah, of course I do.

I mean, sure, I'm a beneficiary

of the-- the family business,

but I don't see a penny of that now.

That's my dad and my brother's thing.

Okay, next question.

Shoot.

Why'd you come up?

Here?

To help you make pies and put it in your ice cream.

Exactly.

You know, uh, you needed my help.

And it was the generous thing to do

in the spirit of Christmas.

Isn't you helping me a conflict of interest?

I-- I guess so.

Um, but like I said,

I like things to be win-wins,

and I'm rooting for you.

You know, you have a little--

What?

You get it?

Yeah.

It was nice of Charlie to do all that baking for us.

No, it wasn't Charlie, it was my great grandmother from the old country,

-remember? -Oh, right.

Well, is great grandma coming to the barn dance?

How are we doing with the crowd funding?

Well, it depends on your perspective.

Compared to other campaigns our size?

We're doing great.

Compared to our goal?

We've got some work to do.

We've raised $90,000.

That puts us over our goal.

-What? -You can buy her out.

-What? -[chuckling]

Oh, my gosh. [laughing]

[bell jingles]

I have a delivery of 500 Mile High apple pies

for a Miss Emily White.

I'm Emily White.

I know.

Sign there, please.

The rest are out in the truck.

Mr. Blanchard?

-[door opens] -[bell jingles]

I don't know what to say.

I see you got the donation.

Yes.

And it was the Christmas miracle we were hoping for.

And you met my dad.

Yes, it's nice to officially meet you in person.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine.

Like I said, I once had

a small family business myself.

Not so small anymore.

[chuckles] No.

Let me put these in the back.

My dad and I thought that Blanchard Pies and White Farm

could make a great partnership.

Full win-win...

if you'll have us.

If you'll have me.

Oh, we'll have you.

Won't we, Mom?

[chuckles]

Dorothy.

I'm sorry that you never appreciated the beauty in this farm.

It was Dad's dream and his legacy,

and I promised to take care of it

so we could pass it on to the next generation.

And now we can do that.

I'll have a cashier's check for you the day after Christmas.

Would that be okay, Trey?

We'll be open.

That's fine.

I didn't think my farm girl sis

could pull it off.

I never wanted to sell the farm, Em.

I just-- I didn't want us to lose it.

You found a way to save it, and, uh--

I'm proud of you.

Really. I am.

But the house lots, you could have made millions.

Business is business, but...

family is family.

Charlie taught me that.

Can you stay for Christmas?

I should really be getting back to the city.

How about you, Trey?

Will you join us for Christmas dinner?

I'd be delighted.

Well, maybe I could hang around for a couple days.

MOTHER: Wonderful.

It'd be nice to have you home.

♪♪

EMILY: I've never held a check this large before.

Think of it as a gift to your father.

That's exactly what it is.

It's not a bad Christmas gift to me, either.

[chuckling]

What are you gonna spend it on?

I've had my eye on a little vacation home on the Cape.

I love the Cape.

Well, you'll have to come visit.

You all will.

I, uh-- I got you a... gift.

Oh, "Happy Cows Ice Cream."

It has a nice ring to it.

Yeah, it does.

Do you like it?

I mean, I had my designer do it up.

If you don't like it, then we can just change it.

It's fine.

It's perfect.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.
