♪

Dear Santa, my name is
Olivia Spencer

and I promise I’ve been
extra good this year.

There’s a dollhouse
I’m hoping for,

wrapped in red ribbons
and a bow.

And the gift I’m really truly
wishing for

is one that only you can bring.

Please, Santa, tell me the name
of my one true love

so I’ll know him the moment
I meet him.

My dearest wish is for him to be

charming, romantic
and inspiring,

marvelously handsome,
and ever so kind.

And when we look
into each other’s eyes

we’ll know we’ll be
together forever.

I’d love for there to be bells
chiming, string music playing,

and snow gently falling,
if it’s not too much to ask.

So romantic.

[Mom] Olivia, Darcy,
time for bed.

- [both gasp]
- Santa’s on his way!

[uplifting music]

[exciting music]

[gasp]

The dollhouse you wanted!

It’s the exact one
I asked Santa for.

And he got it for me!

I can’t wait to decorate it.

I’m so happy with the first
thing that Santa brought me.

[sighs]

And the second thing,

I guess I’ll just have
to wait for.

But he’ll get it for me,
won’t he?

Mom and dad always say
the best gifts

are the ones
worth waiting for.

Yeah, you’re right.

It’s probably already
on the way.

I mean, how long of a wait
could it really be?

Hi.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

[ringing bells]

Good morning.

Do you want the conference room
open for the production meeting?

No, thank you.

I’ll be using the props
warehouse.

Cookie?

Thank you.

Sorry, did you say
the props warehouse?

Now, I know this isn't
where we usually meet,

because on its surface
this place looks

a little less than ideal, right?

Which is exactly the point.

Because with the right touch,
any space...

[crowd gasps]

Can become the perfect holiday.

Now, I wanted to remind
all of you of the magic

our Christmas special will be
sharing with our viewers,

proving that anywhere can have
a holiday make-over

with a little creativity.

It's an idea that I have
been passionate about

since I was a little girl

and found the dollhouse
I was wanting

under the tree on
Christmas morning.

That was my inspiration
to become a designer.

Customizing it,
rearranging each room,

getting every detail right,

just like we'll be doing
on a slightly larger scale

when we start shooting
in just a few days.

We'll have three weeks
to transform the house

into a home where Santa himself
would want to spend Christmas.

And since I'll be hosting
for the first time,

in addition to my contributions
behind the camera...

[applause]

Thank you,
thank you so much.

And because our finished product
will be revealed live

when our one-time special
airs on Christmas Eve,

I am not leaving anything
to chance.

So one last double check
that we’re good to go

on permits, crew, equipment?

[all agree]

Fantastic.

Then everyone help yourselves
to Christmas cookies

because everything is going
perfectly according to--

Olivia! Olivia!

Jaqueline needs you.
It’s urgent.

Great.

Knock, knock.

Hi, Jaqueline.
You wanted to see me?

This will only take a moment.
Oh, no need to sit.

Ok.

Your name came up on the
conference call with New York.

You were talking about me?

Your design work, the
improvements you’ve made

to our shows over the years.

They’re why we want to see you
on camera.

[message alert]

This network believes in you,
and in this special.

Thank you so much.

I’ve worked my whole career
toward this.

I-- I’m so excited.

So are we.

Which is why we’ve hired Chris
Davis to help see it through.

[message alert]

Oh, sorry to cut this short.

My kid’s Christmas recital
is in an hour.

Unless I beat traffic I won’t
make it there ’til New Year’s.

Wait, wait, wait.
Chris Davis?

Isn’t he the creator
of that show

where all the models
live in a house together?

Model Home.

And it’s more than a dating
show, it’s a hit.

[sighs]

The network will do anything to
be in business with its creator.

And, of all our shows,

surprise, yours is the one
he wants to oversee.

Oversee.

The thing is, we start shooting
in just a few days

so everything’s already decided.

Which is why Chris arrived
this morning from his shoot

in Portland and is meeting with
you the second he’s settled in.

You’re going to love
his big ideas.

And, even though he’ll be
calling the shots,

once the special’s a hit

you’re getting
your very own series.

I am?

You are.

Only you didn’t hear it
from me, ok?

Ok, I’ll make it work!

And I’m sure in no time
at all I’ll realize

this is the best possible thing
that could have happened.

This is the worst possible
thing that could have happened.

It feels like the designer rug’s
been pulled out from under me.

I’ll be working from home
the rest of the day

so try me back, ok Darcy?

[exhales]

[Driver] Oh, hello? Hello?

Olivia?

Yeah. Ride share for Olivia.

743 Prospect Drive.
Rodney in a mid-sized SUV.

No, that’s not what this is.

Sorry, full-size SUV.

Look, Rodney, I’m having
a really bad day

so if you could please
just drive me home.

No, no--
Why are you having a bad day?

It might help if
you talk about it.

Can’t go anywhere ’til the light
up ahead turns green.

Yeah, no, I’m good, Rodney.
Thanks.

It’s just... I have my dream
job, like my actual dream job,

only my network believes
in my special so much

that they have hired
the producer of Model Home

to make sure
it runs smoothly.

Have you seen that show?

Yeah, I’ve seen it.

Ok, so you know it has to be one
of the worst series ever made.

So here I am with
this huge opportunity,

forced to work
with the one awful guy

who could single-handedly
derail it.

Well, people seem to like his
show, maybe he’s not so bad.

Right, ok.

Yeah, sure, his show's a hit,
but...

but it's completely different
from anything I'm doing

which makes him the least
suitable person for the job.

And he's got "big ideas",
right?

What kind of big idea
could he possibly have

that would make
my special better?

The light's green.

Right, away we go.

[cheerful music]

So this problem you’re having?

I think there’s a pretty
simple solution.

Mmm?

Maybe just talk to the guy,
hear what he has to say.

Thanks but I am dreading
what he has to say.

I don't want to hear a single
word from this Chris something.

Davis?

Yeah, actually.
How’d you know that?

No. Oh, no.

No, no, no.
No, no, no.

You’re supposed to be Rodney!

I told you this wasn’t
a ride share.

So what were you doing lurking
outside of my office building?

I was parking,
not lurking.

I came straight
from the train station

so you and I could
get right to work.

And speaking of which,
we’re here.

What do you mean,
we’re here?

You were supposed
to take me home.

I did. Welcome home.

Wait. Wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait!

You brought me to
my childhood home?

What are we doing here?
What is this?

This is my big idea to make
the show better.

I’ll explain inside.

You’re not coming?

Into the foreclosed house
with boarded up windows

with a guy I just met?

You know how this story ends,
you’ve seen it on the news.

Besides, I’m pretty sure
whoever owns this place

would take issue with us
just letting ourselves in.

Pretty sure they won’t.

Really? Why’s that?

Because as of this morning
the network owns it.

This is the house we’re making
over for the special.

This is the wha...

No, no, no. No.

Hey! No! No!

[door creaks]

The place has been vacant
for years.

It comes with everything inside.
We got it for a great price.

[electricity buzzing]

I can’t imagine why.

Well, give it a chance.

You know what they say, books?
Covers?

No, I mean, I can’t
imagine why

you’d think we’d ever
change locations.

Because we have to.

Have to? The other house
is perfect.

Nothing perfect on paper
ever really is.

And when the network sent me
the materials for the show

I knew something was missing.

Such as?

Such as a great hook.

Something emotional
to pull people in.

And then it hit me.

I guess I’m following you.

What if, instead of giving
a holiday make-over

to some stranger’s house,

you revisit your own
childhood home?

The same one where you
celebrated Christmas as a kid

and you restore it
to its former glory.

No.

No?

You don’t like it?

I do, as a full-season show.

This is a one-time special,

which gives us three weeks,
not three months,

to turn an ordinary house
into a perfect holiday home.

We’d never get this place
ready in time!

Well, not with that attitude.

Look, it’ll be fine.

We’ll pre-record most
of the special

and then we go live
for the big final reveal

that gives us right up
until Christmas Eve

to get this place in shape.

Come on, isn’t your whole thing

any place can become
a perfect holiday?

Yes, but this place’s perfect
holiday is Halloween.

It’s a mess.

It’s not a mess.
It’s a success in progress.

[chiming]

Do you hear that?

Now, I should mention
that buying this place

means our budget’s
a whole lot tighter

so things need to be run
through me from now on.

Ok, which kinds of things?

You know, number of shoot days,
crew size, equipment list,

construction costs,
who we use for catering...

So everything?

In that case, why aren’t you
just directing the whole thing?

I am. Jaqueline didn’t tell you?

No. Not in those words.

But that still doesn’t change
the fact

that this place
is falling apart!

I think you’re exaggerating.

What we need is a list

of what needs fixing first
and I think--

- [crumbling]
- [gasps]

[chuckles quietly]

Number one:
Hole in the wall.

There.

Got you started.

This really isn’t
what I had in mind.

I need to go on record and
strongly urge you to reconsider.

I need you to stop making
this all about you.

It’s not, and if you can’t
handle it the door’s right--

Here.

Look, let’s just meet back here
tomorrow morning at 11:00

and talk things through.

[exasperated groan]

[exhales]

I can’t believe it.

Months of work all
just tossed aside.

I swear, Darcy,
it’s like this guy

is setting me up for failure.

Well, I do remember having
some great times here

with mom and dad.

You know, maybe it's not
as bad as it looks.

- [chair squeaks]
- Oh.

The floor is slanted.

I tried using a level
to figure out how much,

only my level slid away.

[whimpers]

Ok. Hey, so this isn’t
what you had in mind.

Maybe you can transform
this place, make it cozy.

[laughs]

There it is, that smile.

Mmm.

Now, all you need is
an early Christmas gift

I made you to get you
in the holiday spirit.

Awe.

It’s super baggy,
very in right now.

Thank you.

If we can just get
the fire going...

Cozy.

It's kinda like when Dad
used to put up the tree

every year in here and say--

It feels like there’s a little
bit of Christmas magic

in this house.

Yeah.

[chiming sounds]

Hold on, are you hearing that?

Hearing what?

That ringing that-- I was
hearing it earlier.

[ringing]

I think there’s something
in there.

- What is it?
- I’m not sure.

- Can you help me with this?
- Yeah, yeah.

[struggling grunts]

Looks like an old letter.

It’s addressed to me.

Open it!

- Come on!
- I am, I am!

This is the letter I wrote to
Santa when I was a little girl.

And this is a piece of paper,
only it's completely...

[magical music]

Oh, wow.

"Your finding this letter means
the moment is right,

"the name of your destiny
will now come to light.

"You'll discover by Christmas,
I swear, it's no trick,

"that the name of your soulmate,
your true love is Nick."

Santa Claus. As in
the Santa Claus?

And-- and he’s telling you
you’re about to meet

the love of your life?

No, of course not,
because that would be--

I mean-- I mean, that’s not
possible, right? I mean--

No, I remember that Christmas.

You wanted more than anything to
know the name of your true love.

Yes, but that was forever
years ago.

I mean, I was a little kid.

A little kid who knew
that the best gifts--

Are the ones worth waiting for.

And I did ask for the name
of the love of my life.

And that is where we put
the tree every year,

and where Santa would always
leave the presents.

So now that I’ve found this,
I know just what to do with it.

You’re throwing it away?!

There’s no way it’s real.

There has to be some
perfectly logical explanation

for what we saw tonight.

Like what?

Like... I don't know.

Maybe it was disappearing ink.

Fine, it wasn't disappearing ink

but I have an easier time
believing that

than Santa Claus being my own
personal matchmaker.

Ok. I am as rational as the next
person but this has to be it.

That little big of
Christmas magic.

I mean, you were meant
to find that here

when the time was right.

It’s destiny.
It even says so.

I am asking you to believe.
I know what I saw back there.

Well, I don’t.

All I know is I have way
too much on my plate right now

to get distracted,

starting with an all-nighter
to re-do months of work.

Yeah, well...

Look, I am open to the idea
of finding the right guy,

if he even exists,

I just can’t believe
that there’s anything

about that letter
that’s actually real.

I just can’t.

[magical music]

[uplifting music]

Nice try, Darcy.

Still not a believer.

Thank you.

Peppermint mocha
Christmas blend

with cinnamon, nutmeg
and sprinkles.

Thanks so much.

Oh, excuse me.

Sorry, I think you might have

accidentally grabbed mine
by mistake.

I did?

Yeah, but trust me,
you won’t like it.

Entirely too many ingredients.

Way too sweet if you’re not
into that sort of thing.

Oh, well thank you, but actually
I happen to like sweet.

Suit yourself,
but it’s a lot.

I mean, the drink’s actually
called a--

It's a Hot Mess.

Yeah.

But the only place I’ve heard it
called that is the--

[both] Northern Lights
Skating Rink.

You used to go there, too?

Go there?

When I was a kid I practically
lived there.

Me too.

That's... wow.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- That must be--
- That’s probably--

You know what?

Why don’t you take this one
and use it if...

you want to get something sweet
together sometime.

Olivia S.

Coincidence.

Has to be.

[cheerful music]

[gasps]

Woah, that’s warm.

I am so sorry!

It’s ok, I-- I wasn’t looking.

No, that was my fault,
and--

and your shirt is
completely ruined.

It’s fine, really.

But exactly how much holiday
cheer was in that cup?

It was a medium,
thank goodness.

If it had been a large
it’s not worth thinking about.

[laughs]

I can't let you walk around
like this.

Uh... here. Um...

Try this.
It's from my sister.

She makes me one
every year.

I must have left it
in my bag last night.

You don’t mind?

It's the least I can do.
Thanks.

She makes them really baggy.

Oh. Mmhmm.

I guess I should warn you,
there's pretty much zero chance

that you'll be a perfect...
fit... for the sweater.

Which looks...

Wow, um, genuinely spectacular
on you.

Well, I’ll need to get it back
to you, so here,

let me give you my number
and let’s find a time

to get together, pick up
where we left off.

Great, yeah.
Um, it’s a date.

Ok.

Ok, that is weird!

It’s still just a coincidence,
Olivia.

A very random, incredibly
handsome coincidence.

It’s impossible.

Some letter from Santa

putting me at the crossroads
of destiny--

[gasps]

- [horn honks]
- [Driver] Watch it!

Hey, are you ok?

You nearly got run over
by a reindeer.

Like in the song.

You saved me.

Oh, it was nothing, really.
I’m just glad you’re ok.

Nick Conners.
Nice to meet you.

Olivia Spencer.

Did you just say your name
is Nick... Conners?

As in Nick C?

If you prefer.

[laughs]

Oh, and uh...
I think you dropped this.

It’s real.

[cheerful music]

So let me get this straight.

Three rom-com worthy meet-cutes,

all back to back,
all with guys named Nick?

You realize how insane
this sounds though, right?

I mean, Santa Claus?

No, I’m having a breakdown,
that’s what this is.

Just an every day,
normal psychotic episode

brought on my stress
or some brain lesion.

That is not what this is
and you know it.

This is fate.

This can’t be happening!

Only it is!

And that means one of these
three Nicks is your soulmate.

I mean, it says it right here
in black and white.

Then I know I should
be excited

but why is this happening
right now?

I’m giving the show an overhaul,
shooting starts Monday

and I have zero time to even
think about dating.

Ok.

This is your actual real life,

a childhood Christmas wish
come true.

I mean, how many people in
the world get to experience

something as magical
as that?

Stop fighting it.
Start leaning in.

You really think I should?

No, I really know you should.

Just like I know exactly
what’s gonna help you figure out

which Nick is the Nick.

[theme music]

Models.

Dating.

Model Home,
holiday edition.

No way, not that show.

Hey. It has tons
of great pointers.

Like how your first text
to these guys

needs to really capture
the essence of who you are.

Ok, how is this?

“Hey. It was a pleasure
meeting you.

"Let’s meet up.”

No.

No, that is all wrong.

You can’t send that.
It’s awful, no offense.

None taken, until you said
“no offense”.

So I’m sending it.

No, no!

Seriously, please don’t tell me
you sent that to all three guys.

Yeah.

Well, individually, but it
captured my essence.

No, it did, just don't be
surprised if you don't hear back

from them in five...
maybe years.

[message alerts]

Well, it looks like someone
has herself a date

with Nick A tomorrow night.

What? An actual date
with destiny? Wow!

Well, your life really is
just an unbroken boulevard

of green lights,
isn’t it?

[message alert]

Let’s hope so.

Because I needed to be
across town ten minutes ago.

Ok, bye!

Sorry, everyone.
I'm running just a little bit...

Oh, Chris.
You're everyone.

When you said we'd meet
to discuss

I thought you meant
with the whole crew.

I thought it might be best for
them to hold off on coming here

until I’ve approved everything.

Right.

Well, um, I came up with
an overall plan last night,

I can take you through
the space.

These sketches will give you
a sense of what I’m thinking.

I prefer hard copies.

And I anticipated that.
So here you go.

Thanks.

We’ll start by layering
the space with drapes

which will be festive
for Christmas

and look amazing
year round,

and tie everything together
when we demo these columns--

Why not repair them?

Because it’ll open up the room,
improve the flow,

make it perfect
for entertaining.

Which reminds me, this dining
room table definitely has to go.

Well that is one thing
we agree on.

Great.

Because there’s this custom
carpentry place in town

that I have been dying
to work with

and I know they’ll have
something just right for us.

For a price that’s all wrong.

We don’t have the budget
for custom pieces.

We should be using one
of the network sponsors.

But furniture
from a big box store

won’t have enough character
for an old place like this.

Then you’ll make it work.

Ok, I’m picking up on just
a teensy bit of tension here.

That wouldn’t have anything
to do with us getting off

on the wrong foot yesterday,
would it?

You mean when you called me
the least suitable person

for the job

or when you said I was
single-handedly

gonna derail the entire show?

So I’ll take that as a yes.

To be honest, all of that,
it just- it doesn’t matter.

What does is making this
the best special it can be.

So yes, I’m gonna challenge
you on things

because I need to know
that whatever it takes,

day and night, 24/7 you’re
gonna be as committed as I am.

[crash]

[thud]

Trust me.

Every second I spend
in this house with you

makes me feel like I should
be committed.

[Darcy] So he signed off
on your plan?

Yeah, after a ton
of back and forth.

We can’t spend more than
two seconds in a room together

without driving
each other crazy.

Mmm.

Well, I mean you guys got off
to a rocky start

but Model Home is a hit.
I mean, he pulls in a crowd.

Yeah, so does a car accident.

Not to be dramatic or anything.

But I am not going to let him
get me down,

especially right before
my date with Nick A.

Or my date with
Nick B on Saturday.

Yeah.

Or with Nick C
the night after that.

That is the spirit.

Are you excited
to go skating?

Yeah.

He mentioned something
about a surprise.

Olivia!

Oh.

Ok, he is cute.

Shh.

Pretty sure that’s my cue,
you got this?

Thanks for walking me.

Yeah.

Hey. You have to tell me
everything tomorrow, ok?

Ok.

- Everything.
- Ok!

Uh, so jealous.

Hi.

Wow, this place looks just like
I remember it, minus the crowds.

Where- where is everyone else?

Well, we are everyone else.

I rented it just for you and I.

Yeah right, you did.

You- you really did?

Yeah.

Surprise.

[instrumental Christmas music]

Wait, are you sure
you didn’t tell me

that you’re a brain surgeon?
Like an actual brain surgeon?

Well, pediatric neurosurgeon,
technically.

I’m head of the department
of the children’s hospital.

But come on, let’s not
talk about work, right?

You can’t just
casually mention

your amazing job and then
just move right along.

How did you even get
into that line of work?

Well, when I was in medical
school I heard that

Doctors Without Borders
was looking for surgeons

with a specialty and then
a few years later there I was.

Just on the front lines,

saving the lives of countless
innocent children.

Well, I wouldn’t say that.

I’m pretty sure there was
someone there who was counting.

[laughs]

Has anyone ever told you, you
have the cutest laugh ever?

Come on, let’s go.

[holiday jazz music playing]

♪

So I tamed it, right there

on the northern border
of Uzbekistan.

A wild reindeer?
You alone?

I lost my military escort

and the villagers needed
their medicine

so I looked it in the eye
and I said

“you are gonna get me
where I need to go”.

- That’s it.
- That’s it.

And it worked.

Ask the villagers.

[laughs]

That’s amazing.

You’re amazing.

Nah.

This whole evening has been

just exactly what I hoped
it would be.

What?

Nothing, it’s just that uh,

when I saw you at the coffee
shop it just felt like fate.

I don’t know, does--
does that make sense?

Yeah, it does actually.

Good.

Because that calls
for a toast.

And for my other surprise.

You brought champagne?

Wow.

You really thought
of everything.

Just missed the mistletoe.

Darn it.
How could I forget that?

[laughs]

Alright, would you like
to do the honors?

I will do my best.

It’s really stuck.

[yelps]

Woah.

I fell.

Sometimes falling
is the best part.

[pop]

Ow! That hurt! That's going
to leave a mark!

[groaning]

- Are you ok?
- Are you ok?

[groans]

[laughing]

What... what's funny?

I was just thinking that if
my patients had this injury

I’d tell them to put
some ice on it.

[laughing]

I don’t know if it’s
the concussion talking

but that’s actually
really funny.

I do think I should go
to the hospital though.

Oh, no, no, I’m so sorry.

No, I should go
to the hospital.

Ok.

[magical music]

The first holiday project
we’ll be tackling

to restore my childhood home
is demoing these columns.

It’ll open up the space so it
feels big enough to gather

the whole family for a Christmas
they’re sure to remember.

Can’t wait to show you
how it turns out.

[Chris] And cut.

Ok.

Well, with the way the columns
are tied to the structure

and the plaster ceiling
in the hall,

I think we’re gonna need
the demo crew to come in-

Demo crew?

No, no.

The whole point of this is
to let people see you

doing these projects.
To inspire them.

Unless, of course, you don't
really know what you're doing.

Safety goggles on set
whenever we do demo.

Clear the set.

Rolling.

And...

Action.

The best part about doing
demo at Christmas time is...

[thud]

It’s a great way to counteract
all that nasty holiday stress.

[thud]

Which is important at a time
of year when people tend

to drive each other
just a little bit crazy.

[thud]

[coughing]

Cut.

Oh no.

Did I not finish saying that
the placement of the column

meant 100 percent chance that
this exact thing would happen?

Then again, who knows.

Maybe I just don’t know
what I’m doing.

[humming]

You certainly seem to be in
a good mood about something.

Have been ever since
you got here.

Just in the holiday spirit.

Well, whatever the reason,
it’s a nice change.

Hey, speaking of nice changes,

I like the idea of leaning into
the classic charm of this place.

I’m thinking new fixtures, glass
cabinets, marble countertops.

That's actually a pretty good...

- Everything ok?
- Hmm?

Yeah, yeah. It's just...

I had forgotten that my mom,

she'd measure us
every Christmas.

I can't remember the last time
I saw her handwriting.

Well, turns out this house has
a little magic in it after all.

You have no idea.

Still needs plenty of work,
though.

Including some furniture that
actually has some character,

a little history?

We’ve been over this.
You know it’s not in the budget.

Which is why I’m hoping
for a Christmas miracle.

My sister and I are going

to that carpentry shop I told
you about tomorrow.

I wanna talk to the owner

and see if he can let us borrow
some pieces for the show.

Great. I’d still have to--

Approve them.
Yeah, I know.

And since you’re gonna have a
problem with everything I like

you might as well come along.

I would, it’s just--

Just what?

It’s Saturday.
I have plans.

Oh.

What if something comes up?

I mean, what happened
to being fully committed?

Whatever it takes?
Day or night, 24/7?

It still applies.
But we're waiting on permits.

We’ve been over everything three
times so we’ve done all we can.

Tomorrow’s just an exception.

Right.

Well, I hope you have
an exceptional day.

Thanks.

Hey!

[instrumental Christmas music]

I still can’t believe Nick A
rented you an entire ice rink.

I know.

He's so charming
and sophisticated,

and he told me all these amazing
stories about places he's been

and things he's done...
what?

Nothing.

I just know how much you talk
about traveling

and seeing all the world
has to offer.

He seems like a great fit.

And I haven't heard you talk
about a guy this way in... ever.

Maybe I’m just leaning in.

[bell dings]

I know I still have my date
with Nick B once we're done here

but I find it hard to imagine
there's gonna be

anywhere near
the same sense of...

Olivia?

Destiny.

I thought that was you.

I wasn’t expecting to see you
’til later.

Same. What’re you doing here?

Ah, just helping a customer.

You work here?

No. You’re Nick Bannerman?

The place has been in
my family for generations.

Everything you see in here
I made with my own two hands.

I am such a huge fan
of your work.

Really?

- [clears throat]
- Sorry, this is my sister.

Darcy. Hi.

And it’s true, my sister
absolutely loves

what you can do
with your hands.

In fact, she is hosting
a Christmas special

for Style Home Network

and was hoping to feature
some of your pieces.

I’ll leave you two to discuss.

Look, I totally understand--

Say no more.
I- I would love to help.

Anything you need in here,
anything at all, it’s yours.

Really? Are you sure?

Yeah. It’s not every day
I meet someone

who’s as passionate
about my work as I am.

And if you wanna see
more of it,

wait until you see where
I’m taking you for our date.

Oh my goodness.

Your family really did all this?

My grandfather.
Bit of a family tradition.

We put the market on every year
and keep it going.

Well, it’s very impressive.

I can’t believe I’ve never been
here before.

And it’s exactly what I need
to take my mind off work.

Everything ok?

Yeah, it's fine.

It's just... there's this guy

that the network pretty much
forced on my show,

and it feels like every time
I turn around, there he is.

I know that feeling.

No, I mean there he is.
He’s standing right there.

Okay. I think we’re good.
Pretty sure he didn’t see me.

Olivia.

Hey.

Chris, is that you?

Save yourself.
I got this.

Are you sure?

Trust me, talking to this guy
is the conversational equivalent

of gas station sushi.

Just give me two minutes
to get rid of him.

Alright then.

I’ll be back in two minutes
with two hot chocolates.

Yum.

So, first you crash my show
and now my personal life.

Thought you said
you had plans today.

These are my plans.
I’m here with someone.

So what about you?

Who’s your ruggedly
handsome friend?

Funny you should ask
because as of about an hour ago

Nick happens to be our new
custom furniture provider.

Is that so?

It is, because when I set
my sights on something

I do not miss.

Care to put that to the test?

Oh, I should actually
be getting back.

Right. No, of course.

Another time.

[target tumbles]

I completely understand if you
don’t think you could do it.

Now, the trick is to take
a deep breath.

You know, I’m pretty sure
I got this.

Ok.

Watch and learn.

[snowball explodes]

- [groans]
- [crowd gasps]

Oh no!
Oh, no, no, no, no!

Yeah.

I’m sure he’s fine.

That’s-- that’s gotta be worth
at least one of those

Santa snow globe prizes, right?

Ooh, that’s nice.

You gave him a concussion
last night?

Yes, but he was really sweet
about it.

He said it’s proof
I’m a knockout.

Oh, that is good.
He’s so good.

No, Nick B is better than good.

He is creative and kind-hearted
and so down to earth.

I just wish Chris hadn't
been there to see it.

If I have to hear from him
one more time

that I swept my date
off his feet...

Forget him.

You just need to focus
on your date with Nick C.

[message alert]

Oh, that’s my ride share.

Ok, I will see you back here
later?

Mmhmm. You bet.

You’re gonna do so good!

[jazzy Christmas music plays]

Olivia!

Nick?

Thanks, everyone.

That’s the end of
my shift tonight.

[disappointed groans]

Sorry.

Wow. You’re a firefighter?
And a popular one?

I model for the firefighter
calendar.

It’s kind of a big deal.

I’m excited.
Let’s head out for drinks.

Well, first I actually happen
to be in desperate need

of a Christmas tree.

So if there’s a hunky Santa is
there also a hunky North Pole

with elves doing Cross-fit
and bench pressing the sleigh?

They didn’t cover that
in my training.

Hmm.

It is fun volunteering for this,
though.

And between you and me,
I’m hoping it also gets me

December in next
year’s calendar.

Oh.

How about this one?

Mmm-mmm.

Right answer.
That was a test and you passed.

Anyone can tell this tree’s
not Christmassy enough.

So, what is it you’re
looking for anyway

in an ideal Christmas tree?

Oh, in a Christmas tree.

Well, I guess I’m looking for
a tree that is solid

and dependable, taller than me
but not by too much.

And it has to be trustworthy.

Always important.

Especially after finding
my last tree

was secretly texting
its ex-girlfriend.

That tree was a big mistake.
Huge.

How could a tree do that?

Oh, no, I was talking
about an old boyfriend.

Oh...

Mmm-mmm.

You’re right, they couldn’t
give this tree away.

And you know, for the record,
I don’t believe in mistakes.

Even huge ones.

Is that so?

It is, because if that hadn’t
happened with your ex-boyfriend

the two of us probably
wouldn’t be here right now,

so it wasn’t a mistake at all.
It was meant to be.

What, like destiny?

You could call it that.

And I call this a tree.

It’s perfect.

I’ll get it wrapped up, meet you
at the front. On me.

Thanks.

[chuckles]

You again.

So is this a sign?

Are you trying to tell me
something?

Well, let's do some decorating.

Hey.

Before we head out
I got this for you.

Since the tree is your treat,
this is mine.

- Pretty good, huh?
- Mmhmm..

Did you by any chance
put almonds on this?

Why? It’s not like
you’re allergic, are you?

Are you?

[sirens]

I’m so sorry! I’m so sorry!
I’m so sorry!

Will you be ok?

[mumbling]

[sighs]

[Darcy] You poisoned him?

Ok, this is not the update
I was expecting

when you said
“things got a little nuts”.

It was an accident, Darcy.

It’s not like I did this
on purpose.

Ok, well obviously.

But hey, all his hunky
firefighter friends said

he'd be fine, right?

And he sent those flowers
from the hospital.

I know, and please
look at this note.

“Let’s call it destiny.”

That’s one of the things we
were talking about tonight.

But if all of this really
is my destiny

then why does it have to be
so complicated?

Dating is hard to figure out.

Yeah, and even harder
when something keeps going

weirdly wrong on every date.

I nearly blinded Nick A,
I gave Nick B a concussion,

I sent Nick C to the ER, and
I’m still no closer to knowing

which one of them I’m actually
meant to be with.

Hey, hey.
Things take time.

And you have as much as you
need to figure this out, right?

[chiming]

The letter.

Oh my goodness, the words
are changing.

What is it?

A huge, huge problem.

“The love of your life
must be decided in time

"for the Christmas Eve bells
to all toll their last chime.

"So choose with great care
in this yuletide endeavor

"or risk losing the Nick
you’ll cherish forever.”

Right.

I didn’t hear the part about who
you’re supposed to end up with.

The closest it gets is saying
I have to choose the right one

by the time the Christmas Eve
bells all toll their last chime.

- Meaning...
- Meaning what?

Midnight Christmas Eve.

You don’t have to have to figure
out the true love of your life

by then.

You have to figure out the true
love of your life by then?

A lifetime of never meeting
a single great guy,

then three perfect ones show up
at the same time

and if I choose
the wrong one

I lose the love of
my life forever.

Ok, no. We can do this.
We can figure it out.

Figure it out how?

I will tell you how.

Starting now, any time
you’re not working

you’re on a date with one
of those Nicks.

I am?

Yes, you are.

You are choosing your
soulmate, Olivia Spencer,

no matter how many dates
it takes.

Let’s go. Come on!

Where are we going?

[magical music]

[uplifting music]

[yawns]

Excuse me?

Where did you find these?

[door creaks]

Hey. Heard you were
up here.

Uh, mind if I join you?

Our electrician was doing some
repairs up here in the attic

and mentioned seeing these.

I thought they might give us
some of that classic charm.

They look amazing.

They’re my family’s.

We thought we lost them
in the move.

My parents looked everywhere
for them.

Sounds like they really
love Christmas, huh?

They did, yeah.

Both my parents passed
away, actually.

Oh, I’m sorry.

Thanks.

It wasn’t recent.

My mom died when I was
in college

and my dad a few years ago.

But they always made Christmas
so magical.

One of our favorite things
was starlit sleigh rides

in the woods with hot chocolate
and tiny marshmallows.

That sounds nice.

It was, yeah.

My sister Darcy was so obsessed
she took riding lessons.

Then the place we used to go
shut down forever ago.

Well, I would have done
anything for that

growing up back in Ohio.

Closest thing I came
to a tradition

was decorating this big old tree
in our front yard.

Much bigger than the little one
in front of my apartment here.

That’s actually really sweet.

Wait.

Are these yours from
when you were a kid?

They're good.

I mean, they're--
they're really good.

The way you have an enfilade at
either end a lot of this hallway

so whimsical, inspired.

Did you just speak designer?

What?

I have layers.

[laughs]

Oh, uh... but what
I don't have is budget approval

for the dining room re-design.

They're cost-cutting.
They're asking for simpler.

Well, then we should be asking
for more time.

Now I have to redo
those plans,

the rest of the interior
isn’t done,

I still have no idea
how to make a statement

out of the outside, and if
I can’t figure it out then I--

Ok, look.
Don’t underestimate yourself.

Promise me that.

You’ve clearly had the talent
to pull this off

since you were a kid.

And besides, you’re not
doing it alone.

We’re in this together.

What is this?
Some kind of truce?

I’d call it a strategic
partnership.

I wanted to make this a gift
everyone can enjoy

live on Christmas Eve.

Ok.

Then I guess we don’t have
a moment to lose.

Oh, Olivia.

You forgot this.

Thanks. Seems to be happening
to me a lot lately.

[thoughtful music]

[upbeat Christmas music]

Well, I’m glad things seem to be
turning around for you at work.

I like to think I have a part
in the spring in your step.

You just might have.

It’s nice to feel like I’m back
in the flow, you know?

I do.

It’s like when I’m modeling
for the firefighter calendar.

Right in the zone.

And for next year’s edition

we’re doing my shoot in
an actual burning building.

Wow.

So um, you really like
talking about that calendar.

Wouldn’t that be dangerous,
shooting in a burning building?

No more so than here.

A friend saw some lady

playing one of these games
the other day.

Mmhmm.

Said she nearly killed her date
with a snowball.

Wow, look at these mittens!

Here, let me get them for you.

Oh, no, you don’t have
to do that.

Call it an early
Christmas present.

Can you wrap
these up please?

Thank you.

Hopefully these will remind you
of this feeling

whenever you wear them.

Being in the flow, finding
inspiration wherever you look...

which is happening right now,
isn't it?

Hey!

What’s this I hear about
some great new idea?

Well, I could tell you, or...

This is how you’re planning
on making a statement

outside the house?

I came up with
the idea last night.

When I remembered what you said
about making this place a gift

for everyone to enjoy
it just clicked.

What do you think?

I love it. It’s gorgeous.

Really?

In fact, I think I have
something

you’re gonna love, too.

How did you get the dining room
to look so amazing?

Well, in this case,
simpler actually is better.

I just added a few
design touches.

Wanna guess where
they came from?

My sketches from the attic?

Turns out there’s some
pretty great inspiration

hiding up there.

Chris, you are a really
good decorator.

Well, I told you I have layers.

Yeah, but layers don’t
automatically give you

a masterful sense of texture,
light and design.

Maybe not, but
a master’s degree

in architecture and design
tends to.

Why did you never tell me that?

Why'd you never ask?

It's um, actually how I started
in this business.

Selling a TV show about
restoring forgotten old estates.

Only they kept tweaking
the concept until it became...

No.

Model Home?

Model Home.

Oh.

And I’ve been stuck on it
ever since.

But this, this felt like
my chance to escape,

to finally do something
meaningful.

Closer to what my show
was always supposed to be.

So what you’re saying
is you might maybe

just not be the least suitable
person for this job?

I hope not.

‘Cause it feels like
this is turning out better

than either of us hoped.

I mean, this could really be
our ticket to both of us doing

what we wanna be doing.

Like what?

For me?

Oh, that’s easy.

Having adventures doing
what I love.

Creating amazing shows.
Traveling the world.

Experiencing everything
it has to offer.

Me too.

And look, speaking
of amazing shows,

If I got carried away
at the start

trying to make this
into my show

instead of meeting you
in the middle.

I’m sorry.

I am.

I just uh, I just got really
excited once I started seeing

all this beautiful possibility
right in front of me.

Your coat.

You’re missing some buttons
on the sleeve.

Oh.

May I?

There.

Olivia?

- Hey.
- Hey.

Hey. Uh, Nick, right?
You uh, dropping that off?

Yeah, I’m picking up, too.

Here you go, guy.

Shall we?

Guy?

So if you could go anywhere,
anywhere at all,

where would you wanna go?

I was actually just talking
about this.

Um, South America for sure.

I've always wanted
to see Greece.

There's Paris, obviously,
and... what?

I uh... I meant where you
wanna go for dinner tonight.

Oh. Right, right.
Um, well I’m up for anything.

But now you have to answer.

If you could travel anywhere in
the world where would you go?

- Travel?
- Mm.

Not really my thing.

Not really your thing?
Why not?

Why would I wanna
go anywhere

when I have everything
I need right here?

[uplifting music]

Wow, I really never thought
I’d see any of these ever again.

[gasps]

It’s my favorite.

Thank you for taking the time
to go through all these with me.

Of course.

Honestly, it’s nice
to have a moment

not to think about everything.

Every second I spend away
from here

I’m trying to guess at
which Nick is the Nick.

The more I focus on it the more
it feels like I’m forcing it.

But I’m seeing Nick A tonight

and I’m really excited
about him.

Ok, that’s progress.

But between now and then

I just wanna do something
outside the box.

Not think about it.

So what is it you have
in mind?

I’m Olivia Spencer and this
is Home for the Holidays.

[phone] Olivia is calling.
Olivia is calling.

Hey, it’s you.

[Olivia] Yeah, it’s me.
Come outside.

There’s something
I wanna show you.

You decorated my tree?

I was thinking more like spruced
up your spruce, but yeah.

I thought it was
a lovely tradition

that you hadn’t done
in a while.

Olivia, this is--
this is amazing.

I... really...
I don't know what to say.

Um, maybe do you wanna
come in for a bit?

I could order some dinner.
We could review the footage.

Rain check.

I would love to but I just um...
I have plans tonight, so...

Of course.

Uh, you know, I should probably
be keeping at it anyway,

get this footage off so it
can stay on schedule.

- Here.
- Oh!

- Olivia.
- Oh!

And Olivia, thank you.

[chuckles]

[emotional music]

[Nick A] All of a sudden
I am doing surgery

in the middle of
the airplane aisle

and the patient reaches up,

grabs my face, locks eyes
with me, and says...

Hey, is everything ok
with you?

So what did you say back?

No, no. I mean you.
Is everything ok?

You seem
a little distracted.

- Do I?
- Yeah.

I’m so sorry.

Um, things are just crazy
with work and Christmas Eve

is less than a week away,
there’s still a lot to do.

Right.

Well, maybe you just need
someone to help

take your mind off that stuff.

Would you look at that?

Wait, is that the mistletoe
you said was missing

from our first date?

No.

You planned this?

What? Can you imagine
if I planned this

and came down here in my super
busy schedule and hung this

with perfect romantic lighting?
I mean, no,

that would be incredibly
romantic of me, wouldn’t it?

[romantic music]

[magical music]

And with that, this is now a
perfect home for the holidays.

Join me for the live reveal
of our finished product

coming up next.

And right here is where we cut
to the live segment,

you give the tour of the house,

and then ride off in a
horse-drawn carriage, and then--

Horse-drawn carriage?

What? It’s Christmassy.

Yeah, but doesn't it feel
a little like...

Model Home?

Mm?

No!

Actually, we may have done
that one season, you’re right.

People loved it!

It’s a nice way to wrap up
the show.

Gives us our happy ending.

Hmm.

Ok, then.
I love it, too.

Terrific.

Because now that we've
both signed off on this cut...

No.

- We’re done?
- We’re done.

All that’s left is broadcasting
the live reveal

on Christmas Eve.

It feels like we
should celebrate.

It does, doesn’t it?
Any plans tonight?

There's nowhere I need to be
for a couple hours.

Great.

I have an idea.

Ok, not that I don’t
love my job,

but what are we doing at
the network’s prop warehouse?

You are about to find out.
But first, put this on.

[laughs]

And these, too.

After you.

You’re taking me
on a sleigh ride?

Well, not just any sleigh ride.

A traditional starlit
sleigh ride in the woods.

Which, of course, wouldn’t
be compete without... wildlife.

[laughs]

A little hot chocolate
and tiny marshmallows.

How did you do all this?

Well, I heard about what you
did at the production meeting.

I had a little free time
on my hands.

No you didn’t.

[laughs]

Well, I wanted to give you back
your tradition

after you gave me back mine.

How did that become
your tradition, anyway?

Well, I guess
when I was young

things between my mom and dad
were a little less than perfect.

I mean, they were great parents,
really, but uh...

they weren't...

Soul mates?

Soul mates.

Anyway, Christmas was always
this one time of year

that I loved more than anything.
It still is.

And I guess I just--

I just wanted to bring
a little joy wherever I could.

I’m sorry, though,
about your parents.

That couldn’t have been easy.

Thanks. It’s fine, though.
Really.

I mean, they split up
once I left for college,

remarried into new families,

so spending the holidays
back in Ohio

made me feel like a bit
of a third wheel

so I am usually happy
to spend them working.

Hmm. Even this year?

Especially this year.

Once our special does well

I hope we make a bunch
more just like it.

What if it doesn’t?

First train back to Model Home.
At least that’s the plan.

Speaking of plans, shouldn’t
we be getting you back?

You uh, you said you had
somewhere to be tonight.

Oh shoot!
I... I... I actually do!

I completely lost track of time.

Yeah, well it’s probably
a good idea anyway.

Forecast is calling for snow.

It is?

[whirring]

The network has
one snow machine!

You know we’ve had people
looking for this, right?

Worth it.

Worth it.

[both laugh]

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Allow me.

Why thank you.

And may I say you two make
such a lovely couple.

- Thanks.
- Thanks.

Goodnight.

It felt weird to correct him,
right?

Definitely.
I mean, he’s Santa.

He’s supposed to know
these things.

Yeah.

Just like I know that tonight
brought back

a lot of really great memories.
Thank you.

It was my pleasure.

Oh, you- you have a little
snow in your hair.

Do I?

- I’ll get it.
- Oh.

There. Perfect.

- [phone buzzes]
- [phone] Joyce is calling...

Oh.

I'm sorry, these are
my plans tonight.

It’s fine, I should get
going anyway.

Yeah.

See you in two days.

[phone] Joyce is calling...

Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve.
Looking forward to it.

Hello?

Hi.

[festive music]

Thank you.

You’re telling me
you kissed Nick A

and I’m only just hearing
about this now?

Well, how was it?

Nice. It was actually
really nice.

Only when we kissed I felt...

Go on.

Nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing like how I felt when I
almost kissed Chris last night.

Wow.

Ok. Um, this conversation
is a real rollercoaster ride.

It just doesn’t make sense.
Nick A is perfect on paper.

So is Nick B and Nick C,

but none of them ticks
every box.

Like how?

Ok, take Nick A.

He’s charming and
he’s sophisticated,

only when we kissed I didn’t
feel any spark.

And Nick B, he’s creative
and down to earth,

but he’s got zero sense
of adventure.

Nick C, handsome, confident,

only I don’t think
he’ll ever love anyone

as much as he loves himself.

[phone alert]

Ah, see? Another selfie.

[laughs]

Ok.

And with Chris?

And with Chris it's just...
different.

The more I learn about him,

about how our interests
are the same,

everything just starts
to feel...

Amazing?

Incredible?

So romantic?

Complicated.

He’s seeing this gorgeous girl
named Joyce

and the letter clearly says that
it has to be one of the Nicks,

but Chris is a really good guy

and I’m really enjoying
spending time with him.

You’re glowing.

I can’t help how I look
when I’m talking about him.

No, I mean, yes, you’re lit up
like a Christmas tree,

but your bag is
actually glowing.

Oh my gosh the words
are changing again.

“As the hour draws near for
true love’s quest to succeed,

"let your heart be your guide
to its one greatest need.

"The answer is close,
a merry gift unexpected,

"yet haste is required lest
your wish be rejected.”

Ok, well it says the answer
is close, that’s something.

Yeah, after it said that
if I choose the wrong guy

I’ll lose the love of
my life forever.

Ok.

Pancakes aside, you have
a lot on your plate.

Mmm.

But when your show goes
perfectly and you get the series

you’ve been working towards
you’ll have clarity.

I just know it.

- Mmhmm.
- Mmhmm.

This is really good.

Hey, get your own.
My Santa.

[chuckles]

[magical music]

[festive music]

Coming up next,

the finished reveal
of Olivia Spencer’s

Perfect Home
for the Holidays,

broadcast live.

[crew chatter]

Ok everyone, that is
our 45-minute mark,

the pre-recorded portion of
the show is officially over.

Thank you.

So we are going live for the big
final reveal in three minutes.

That’s three minutes, everyone,
last looks.

- You ok?
- Yeah.

- You’re gonna do great.
- Thanks.

You got it.

Ok, just get through this
and you’ll have all the calm

and insight you need
to choose the right-

Nick?!

Hey, there she is.
Wow, you look fantastic.

Thank you.

I knew it was your big day

so I just wanted to drop by
and cheer you on.

That’s really sweet of you.

[Chris] Two minutes!

Uh, why don’t I catch up
with you later?

Why don’t you find a place
out back where you can watch?

- Good luck.
- Thanks.

[gasps]

Nick! You’re here
because of the furniture,

because of course you are.

Yeah, just giving my pieces
one last polish

to help you catch the light.

- Thank you.
- Ninety seconds.

Um, why don’t you make
yourself at home.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Hey, I just got off shift.

I was taking a look around,
the place looks great.

The crew let me in so
I could surprise you.

I’m definitely surprised.

Break a leg.

Thanks.

Sixty seconds!

Anyone who doesn’t have to be
on set should be out back!

Hey, have fun.

Thanks.

Thank you.

That’s pretty cool.
How’s it going?

Nick.

How’d you know my name?

No, that’s my name.
I’m Nick.

How’s it going, guys?
I’m Nick.

That’s my name.

I’m Nick.

[laughs]

Three Nicks?

What are the odds?

We should get a nickname.

Maybe later.

[Nick A] Oh man,
she is fantastic.

[Nick C] So beautiful.

- [Nick B] And talented.
- Mmhmm.

What a smile.

How do you guys know Olivia?

We're live in three, two...

[theme music]

Merry Christmas.

I'm Olivia Spencer
and welcome to my home.

I couldn't be more thrilled
to share this Christmas Eve

with all of you.

Truly, there's no better day
for peace, love,

harmony as we celebrate
the perfect...

[gasps]

No, no, no, no, no!

Stop the broadcast!

No, no, no.
Keep rolling.

[all grunting]

Nick!

[all] Yes!

What is going on?

That’s exactly what the three of
us Nicks should be asking you.

I’m a custom furniture designer,
Olivia.

I build things.
It’s what I do.

And that’s what I thought you
and I were doing, together.

So did I.

Even after you poisoned me at
the firefighter charity event.

Wait, she poisoned you?

Because she nearly took
my eye out

after I rented us
a private ice rink!

You did that?

Yeah.

That’s really romantic.

Thanks, man.
It was expensive.

- I bet.
- Yeah.

What’s not romantic is you
stringing the three of us along.

And I think I speak
for all of us when I say

you need to choose.

[candy cane squeaks]

- You do speak for all of us.
- [squeak]

- Correct.
- [squeak]

You can’t expect me to--

Not now, we’re on
live television!

He’s right, Olivia.
Which Nick is it gonna be?

I’m so sorry, I--

Unbelievable.

Nicks, let’s get out of here.

Nick...

Shhh.

- Nick.
- Enough.

Nick, I... I...

Chris, wait!

Not you, too.

This is really not how
this was supposed to go.

You know this is a big chance
for me too?

To finally do the show I wanted.

I thought that this, what
you and I had, I thought...

I thought it was...
something special.

Only now it's ruined
for both of us.

Funny thing is, you were right.
You were right from the start.

One of us did derail it,
just not the one you thought.

Clear!

That’s a wrap on Home for the
Holidays with Olivia Spencer.

Well, I liked it.

But the network might not.

I’ll do my best
to smooth it over.

If I can smooth it over.

Take a little time off
until you hear from me. Ok?

[door closes]

[Darcy] Olivia?

I’m not here.

Hey.

I’ve been trying to get
a hold of you.

I was worried.

Sorry. My phone was on
do not disturb.

I needed a minute.

You ok?

Physically, yeah.

Emotionally, I'm...

A dumpster fire?

[makes explosion sound]

Part of me wishes I never
found this letter.

I was at peace not having
a soulmate.

Only now I know I have one

and I’ve ruined any chance of us
ever actually being together.

And it doesn’t help that
I did it while destroying

the single biggest opportunity
of my career.

Well, about that... the show
was a huge success.

Darcy, the show
was a huge disaster.

A disaster people loved.

And if you’d pick up your phone

instead of hanging out here
feeling sorry for yourself

you’d know that the social media
response is through the roof.

[message alert]

That can’t be right.

What is it?

Uh, a text from Jaqueline,
the network was thrilled

with everything until the live
segment but it generated

so much publicity that
all is forgiven and...

They're giving me
my own design series.

What?!

That’s amazing!

And the whole country’s
in love with the Nicks,

so they’re thinking of giving
them their own dating show.

[laughs]

Well, good for them.
Better for you.

This is everything
you’ve ever wanted.

But how come everything
I’ve ever wanted

suddenly doesn’t feel like
anything I actually need?

Come on.

We can drown our sorrows
in eggnog

while I give you a speech

about how many stars
there are in the sky

and how many fish
in the sea.

Thanks, but I’ll pass.

The universe has been
pretty clear.

Some people are meant
to be alone

and I guess I’m one of them.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, I um...

Hi. Is Chris here?

No, but I remember you
from the holiday market.

I- I saw you there
a few weeks ago.

You were on a date
with Chris.

Oh, no, no, no, no.
Chris isn’t exactly my type.

We’re just friends.
Have been for years.

When he knew he was gonna be
in town he reached out to see

if I needed any help
with Joyce.

Wait, sorry,
Joyce isn’t you?

No. No, no, no.
Joyce is my charity.

Joyful Outreach for Youth
at Christmastime.

Chris really made sure

that every kid in the program
got a gift.

Really brightened up
the holiday for everyone.

When I heard he was leaving town
I was hoping to catch him

and give him a little
thank you.

The kids, they painted
the train for him.

They really just love him.

Can you get this to him?
Tell him it’s from Mary?

Here.

Bye.

Do you know
what this means?

It’s him.

What’s who?

Chris. Don’t you see?

The last clue said that
my answer would come

with a merry gift unexpected.

That’s what this is,
an unexpected gift.

From Mary.

And it points right to him!

Along with all of the other
things I asked for in my letter.

Charming and charitable,
romantic and inspiring,

marvelously handsome
and ever so kind.

It puts Chris way over the top.
It’s him!

Ok, but the letter clearly
states that the name

of your soulmate is Nick.
How do you explain that?

How does anyone explain
any of this?

All I know is that I’m listening
to my heart

and it’s telling me
Chris is the one.

I wanted it to be him so badly,
and this proves it.

Chris is my soulmate.

Wait. We have to hurry.

Didn’t she say he was
leaving town?

Yes, she did.
Um, he texted the whole crew...

He's going back to Model Home?

And his train leaves
just before midnight.

And if the letter was right
about you needing to tell him

how you feel before, then--

Haste is required,
lest my wish be rejected.

How fast is your car?

So fast.

[Olivia] Why isn’t he answering?

[Darcy] It doesn't matter,

we can still make it to
the train station in time.

I've got my keys right...

Uh-oh.

Don’t tell me.

Ok, I won’t tell you.

You locked your keys
in the car?

I was in a rush to see you!
I was worried!

Darcy!

I’m sorry.

There’s gotta be another way.

[horse nickers]

Ok.

Why is that even still here?

A little bit of Christmas magic.

[whinnying]

I can’t believe you talked me
into this!

You’re doing great.

Thanks.

[classical Christmas music]

A single ticket,
one-way please.

Thank you.
Merry Christmas.

This must be exactly
how Santa feels.

Ho ho ho!

Excuse me, sir?

I have the strangest feeling
I’ve seen you before.

Faces do tend to look alike
in all the bustle

of this holiday travel.

You travel a lot
this time of year?

Oh, quite a bit, yes.
Job requirement.

Especially when certain cases
need a little nudge

in the right direction.

I can’t believe I’m in
a one-horse open sleigh.

It’s a carriage.

Really?
Let me have this.

- [bell]
- This must be your train.

Have yourself a very
merry Christmas.

You too.

Oh, just out of curiosity,
what kind of work do you...

We have to be there by midnight!
Can’t you go any faster?

Don’t blame me,
blame the horse!

Sorry, I could have sworn
I had it here a second ago.

[P.A.] All aboard! The 11:58
train is now departing!

[Darcy] Okay. Woah!

You’re amazing and I love you.
You’re a good sister.

Well, I would have gone
with great but whatever,

I’ll take it. Love you!

Love you!

[classical music continues]

♪

- [P.A.] Train 83 for Spokane
Washington...

[Chris] Olivia!

Chris! I thought I might
have missed you.

You nearly did. I...

I was getting on board
and I found this.

What does it say?

It said that getting
on that train would be

the worst mistake of my life

and I can't explain why
or how but...

I knew it'd be true.

Chris, I am so, so sorry

for everything that happened
back there,

it was all just one big
giant misunderstanding.

No. I’m the one that
should be apologizing

for leaving the way I did,
for jumping to conclusions.

Olivia, I’ve completely fallen
for you.

I guess I was worried you might
not feel the same way.

I do.

You make me feel like that same
little girl that wrote Santa,

wanting to know the love of
my life the moment I met him.

And even though it took me

a little longer than
that to figure it out-

A little?

Do you mind?
I’m trying to be romantic here.

[laughs]

What I’m saying is
I believe in this.

I believe in us.

And all I know is that this,
right now, being with you,

is everything I’ve ever wanted.

[P.A.] Paging passenger
Nick Davis.

Please report to
the station manager.

I repeat, passenger Nick Davis.

I guess they must be wondering
why I wasn’t on the train.

Wait, your name is Nick?

Uh, yeah.
Family tradition.

First born son’s
always named Nick.

It gets confusing fast so
I've gone by my middle name

since I was a kid.

[string instruments playing]

[bell tolling]

[small chuckle]

Everything alright?

I used to dream about
a moment like this.

I even asked for one
just like it for Christmas.

I can see why.

It’s amazing.

It’s about to be.

What’s that look?

What’re you thinking?

That this was definitely
worth waiting for.
