And now for another chance family hack, number 67.

And once the bacon is crisp on both sides, they're ready to come out.

Oh! Smells great, huh? Oh, here.

Okay, here's a little snack while the bird's still cooking. Thanks, Mom.

Give it back.

See? Even the kids love them. As always, you can find the recipes to all the

dishes in my Thanksgiving series on my blog, Christina A. Chance for Cooking.

Link is in the bio.

I'm Christina A. Chance.

And we are The Chances.

And that is what I'm talking about.

Darling family, loving husband, authentic charm and style.

And that's what makes Christina A. Chance.

the perfect brand ambassador for Love Handled.

Oh, thank you, Nicole.

This is an incredible opportunity to help people.

When I started sharing Little Life Pack, it was all about saving time and making

the grueling task of parenting a little easier.

You know, if I can get even 10 more minutes to be with my kids, that is

everything to me.

And Love Handled makes that possible.

I know that they care about giving me more time with the people I care about.

And that is why I love Love Handled.

Wow.

Wow. All right, here's the deal.

We're going to give you control of our Christmas Eve live cast.

Complete takeover of all our social media accounts.

Wow. Right?

And if you get two million engagements, you become the new face of Love Handles.

Do you think that's possible?

Two million?

Mm -hmm. Okay, safe. Mm -hmm.

Sorry, Nicole, I actually...

I thought I was here to sign the contract.

You get two million.

We'll sign the contract.

Oh, yes.

Of course. My family's going to love this.

Great. To Christina Chance.

I'm sorry. Just a quick question.

Isn't it a little late to be pushing Love Handles products on Christmas Eve?

It's not about selling.

It's about the lifestyle.

But December 26th is the biggest return day of the year.

So... We want people cashing in those unwanted gifts to buy love handles.

Good time to remind them.

A toast to Christina A. Chance and love handles.

Oh, I have a lot of work to do. Oh, you're going to be great. Be yourself.

You are perfect.

Devin is still your appointment on this, so let him know what you need. Not that

you're going to need any help. Oh, I totally forgot. Is he here?

Oh, his flight's delayed.

He's visiting one of our new ambassadors.

I know he's sorry he missed you.

Too bad. I was really hoping to meet him.

Oh.

Great job.

Oh, and thank you for this incredible opportunity. You got this. Okay.

Speak of the devil.

Did I miss her?

You want to run down to the lobby and catch your little crush?

It's not like that.

She's married. I'm just a fan.

Devin, you're her account manager. It's your job to get her to the finish line.

Two million.

Remember, it's not just her.

Okay, you don't have to worry about Christina. You saw the family. You can't

fake that.

She's legit.

Oh, Hugo, please clean up your toys.

Kaylee, I need you to clean the kitchen set.

Everyone has to pitch in. We only have a few days to get our house ready.

Please listen, please.

We are almost done.

Okay. So then Steve turns on the light. Yeah. Twinkle lights. No, no. I have the

whole thing already mapped out for you here.

Okay. Thanks babe. Steve.

Don't call me baby when you're not filming. I'm just getting into

He's just on loan.

Please be nice to your future stepfather.

Mom, we graduated the same year, so he is not and will never be my stepfather.

As I was saying, then our special guest, Santa,

arrives and... Why do we have to do this our entire Christmas?

It's not the entire Christmas, Kaylee. It's just Christmas Eve.

And the rehearsals all week.

Yes, Dad.

And thank you for paying attention.

I appreciate all of you, okay? We just film tomorrow, and then you can have the

rest of the break to do whatever you want. Is that okay with you, Kaylee?

As long as I don't have to wear that stupid dress.

But you look great in it.

Look, okay?

I promise you all of our lives will be better if I get this job.

Come on, guys. It is just one day.

Wakey, wakey.

Eggs and bakey.

Kaylee.

Kaylee, what are you wearing?

Clothes. That is not the outfit we agreed on. Please go upstairs and

Don't ever let me stop you.

Here you go.

Really? But I put it back together.

Good morning.

Morning, Grandpa.

Thank you for watching, Hugo.

Tool her in the closet.

Again? Okay, I love you, but the first live segment is in ten minutes, so I

to prep. Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.

Where'd you put the screwdriver at your apartment?

The love -handled mixer has an auto -cookie setting to make mixing dough

easier.

Remember, when you're busy...

Let love handles handle it.

For my first shape, I've chosen a festive Santa hat.

How about you, Kaylee?

A circle.

Oh, I thought you were going to use a snowman.

Circle.

That's right, Kaylee. By using concentric circles, you can make your

snowman. It's a little more advanced, but unique and homemade.

All right, everybody. We will be live casting all Christmas Eve, and I cannot

wait. For you to see the hottest new Love Handles products to make this

day even easier.

See you at 10.

Ah, you almost got me.

Just trying to keep myself interested.

Yeah, circle.

That was a good one.

What will I do next?

What do you mean you're driving to our house?

I thought I'd surprise her. I mean, it's Christina Chan.

Am I right? I mean, you met her. What's she like? No, no, no. Don't tell me. I

bet she's exactly like your video. Kevin. The house, the family, the

You're late.

And it was worth the wait.

Hey, babe.

Right. No, babe.

Ladder to the side of the house if you want to get started. Ladder duty.

Got it, babe.

Christina.

Today is going to be great. Yes.

What's that?

I don't know, but I want one.

Oh, it must be the Santa from the service.

What?

It's pretty cute for Santa.

Uh, well, we're going to have to pad you.

What?

Uh, sorry I'm late. Late? You're really early. It's not even dark yet.

Uh, I got... Oh, no, no, no. You guys always have the worst suits. Come on.

Yeah, I have a better one for you.

I'll show you.

Oh, hi.

Hello yourself.

That won't burn.

Good job.

Who's that, Mom? Oh, he's our special guest helping out today.

Wanda. Rick.

Caution tape. Our special guest.

You look like a raw cat.

Keep your heart rate down.

This isn't for you.

I'm dating younger men now.

Men who are into adventures like skydiving and underwater hockey.

sounds exhausting oh hugo um can you take your grandfather to go find the

let's go grandpa good good ideas just family right i guess okay i think it's

just actually over here somewhere yeah it's just over here um i think uh

oh and don't worry we're not using the scent today uh yeah hello yeah oh yeah

take a look It's nice, huh?

Real wool from the Thanksgiving parade.

I actually, uh, I added the trim. Come on. Uh, it's nice, I guess.

Oh, oh, oh, you can go ahead and try that on.

Okay, wait. Who do you think I am? Um, this hand up from the surface.

I'm Devin. Devin who?

Devin from Love Handled.

Oh.

No.

Whew.

I need to meet some H2O.

Oh, my God. Get some H2O for you.

No!

What? What is that?

What is happening right now?

Um, guys, can you just give us a minute?

I'll give you two.

Oh.

Um, do you want to sit down?

Yes.

Um, do you remember Steve's introduction when he, uh, he walked through the, the

live cast in a towel?

Yeah, the numbers blew up.

Right, yeah, that was the first time we got a million views.

Um, so, uh, that was an accident. He was, is dating my mom, which is, which

weird enough, and everyone just assumed he was my husband, and I just, I didn't,

uh, correct them.

So Steve is not your husband?

No.

I am so screwed.

What else is a lie?

Are those even your kid? Good question.

Kaylee! Sorry.

This affects all of us, you know.

Go. Now.

Do you realize the position you have put me in?

Oh, the position you're in?

I am so sorry this is so hard for you.

Nobody wants the real me. They want Christina Chance, the personality. Not

Christina Chance and Mom barely holding it together. I am doing my best here.

What are you going to do?

I don't know. I should call Nicole.

What do I even say? How do I even explain this?

You said you were here to help me, so come on.

Help me.

Oh, right.

You're on in three minutes.

Places, everyone!

There's no one here. Let's do this!

No, this way. Other way. Steve is attaching the love handles, happy

Christmas lights, the happiest lights on your block.

They're easy to hang, and they come with their own hook.

That's right, babe. And until now, the only spot you'd find a twinkle this nice

was in your eyes. Oh.

And they're as easy as one, two, three.

It's so easy.

Right. So easy that I, you can do it. Because Steve, my

husband, he can do it.

He can do it.

While I do other things for Christmas.

Because of Love Handles.

Up next, my parents, Rick and fan favorite Wanda, help set up the perfect

Christmas tree.

See you in ten.

And we're out.

Dude, you have got to calm down.

I'm an accomplice. I'm in on it now.

Does she need a paper bag?

This tree is just so -so. And I want Trey Trey.

Trey, Trey, is that, like, a new thing? Is that, like, you have to be 28 to

understand that or something?

29. Okay, wait, wait, wait.

My boss is here. So, um, I told you, no family ornaments.

We have to use the kids.

Christmas trees should represent the families that decorate them.

Oh. Well, then we should set ours on fire.

Huh.

Um, okay, uh, you'll shoot this one.

Okay. The Love Handles Tree Kit makes decorating a cinch. With a reusable tree

and clearly marked ornament tabs on every branch, you can have a fully

tree in no time.

Oh!

Look at this one.

Remember this?

Yes, I do, Mom. That is Steve and I in our high school production of Oklahoma.

So, you can augment the tree with cherished family memories.

You are so cute.

Especially Steve with those chaps.

Seriously. Oh, and here's the one that we got at Holiday World.

See? The Love Handles tree kit gives you more time to reminisce with family.

Okay, and then the next one goes right here. But if it goes here, there'll be

room for my little rocket.

You're so right, sweetie.

You can build anything you want with the Love Handles gingerbread mix.

But we're making a classic gingerbread house, right?

Right. Because gingerbread houses are better with Love Handles.

We're out.

Let's go make rockets now. Oh, that sounds so fun.

Tomorrow, baby, I promise, okay?

All right, everyone, in three, two, one.

Oh!

Merry Christmas!

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Oh, who could that be? Santa!

There you are, Hugo.

You know my name?

Kaylee? June.

Well, I hope you've all enjoyed today as much as I have.

I'm Christina Chance.

And I'm Santa.

And this has been Christina A. Chance for Christmas, a live cast takeover

extravaganza brought to you by the amazing people at Love Handles. Merry

Christmas to all. And to all a good night.

And we're out.

Let me tell you, that was just fantastic.

You were so good. Very impressed.

Oh, you guys, that was amazing.

Except for Wanda almost blew it with her drooling over Steve's ornament.

What's the point of dating someone half my age when I can't tell the world?

Just getting an early start.

Very method.

Steve Brock climbs with the mayor's daughter's boyfriend.

Naturally, we have an invite to the Christmas ball, so we have to go. Wait.

Wait, wait, wait. You're leaving?

Now? What about the... I work today, babe. Steve, don't call me babe.

Right.

Are they leaving?

Yeah, it's okay.

Do you want me to stay?

Oh, no, it's fine. Thanks, Dad.

Nice meeting you.

I got you this.

Actually, Love Handle got you this.

It's been sitting in my car all day.

Oh.

Thank you.

Uh, what are you doing?

My gift to you.

Oh, so that's what it wrote with such clatter.

Okay, let me find my wallet.

Hello, busy night?

Oh, yes.

Another 600 million presents to go.

What is that?

Your takeover numbers.

From today?

Well, of course you have access to that.

How'd I do?

450 ,000 engagements.

For which one?

Total.

I don't understand. I... No, I worked so hard. I mean, everything went according

to plan.

You.

You threw me off.

Me? Showing up the way you did?

I mean, no one told me I was going to have a babysitter. I mean, who shows up

unannounced on Christmas Eve on the biggest day of my career?

Oh, don't hold back now. This is your fault.

My fault?

I'm going to lose my job because of this.

I vouch for you because I thought I knew who you were. Oh, no one is who they

say. Hello, it's the internet. Are you new?

I disagree.

I think you can tell when people aren't being genuine. Oh, okay. Well, you

couldn't. And look how that turned out.

I wish we could just do the day over again and get what we need.

Yeah, me too.

Careful. Christmas wishes have a way of coming true.

Good night.

I had a call.

What are you doing here?

It's my call time.

Ugh, Mom.

Why didn't you wake us up?

Oh, Merry Christmas, guys. I just... I don't know. I thought you'd want to

in. Yeah, I did.

All right.

What's going on?

Oh, I just... I thought we'd have a nice, relaxing Christmas Day.

It's Christmas Eve.

It's Christmas Day.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Mom, look.

Look at today on Grandpa's phone.

Why are you being so weird?

I... I must have dreamt it.

Oh, no.

Oh, we have to get ready.

Dad, can you go get Hugo? Kaylee, get dressed. Go, go, go.

Okay. Okay, I know, I know, I know.

We're behind.

No, Mommy's fault.

I'm having some serious deja vu.

French food does that to me, too.

Sorry I'm late.

Crazy morning.

You have no idea.

Who's this guy? Oh, I'm Devin from Love Hands and Love.

That's right.

I am a big fan.

Can you believe I thought it was Christmas morning?

Well, I thought the same thing.

Have we met?

Have we?

Sorry, I am a little out of it.

I had a crazy dream that we did this already.

And then I got fired.

Oh, yeah.

And then Steve wasn't your husband.

What?

You remember that?

Wait.

What?

Tell me everything you remember from your dream.

I came over here.

You fly with Santa.

We didn't get too many engagements.

And you yelled at me.

Yeah.

I remember that, too.

Um... I don't think it was a dream.

What do you mean?

I mean, it happened.

But then... Today, everyone else thinks it's Christmas Eve.

Again, you know, like... For the first...

That makes no sense.

That makes no sense.

My phone.

Rexis.

Nicole.

They thought I was crazy. Yeah, me too.

But we're not crazy though, right?

I mean, we both remember.

I am just saying a black hole makes the most sense. Then why only us?

I mean, a localized black hole would affect everyone.

Okay, so you're still going with the time is an illusion thing?

No, don't you get it? We are groundhogging it.

I'm just saying, if there's a construct and there's a glitch... Guys, I hate to

interrupt Crazy Fest, but Santa's here.

Santa?

Uh, what are you doing?

Just getting an early start.

Oh, oh, I'm sorry. I forgot to call and cancel you. We are not doing this today.

Oh, okay.

So I'll see you tomorrow?

Again?

Wait.

Devin?

You did this?

I warned you Christmas wishes can come true.

Why?

So you can get... What you need from Christmas.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

This could be a good thing.

A great thing, even.

Don't you see what this means?

We get to do the day over again. No, no, no. I don't understand. Yesterday,

today was a ton of work. I am exhausted.

But we get to nail it.

And we get to get to two million engagements.

And I get to keep my job.

You're fired?

Yeah!

And seniors only put out one video today. I'm guessing... Yep.

Fired today, too. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Let me think about this. So... Okay. So I get a do -over

I get to two million.

So... So let's do it. Okay. So I'll have a little foresight. Yes. Oh, I can make

this work.

Hello.

Thank you.

Wakey, wakey.

Eggs and bakey.

Kaylee, change.

How did you... No pop tart?

Not without a toaster.

Move, young lady.

Good morning.

Oh, um, hi.

What are you doing here? I've got this. But I'm here. I can help.

You know this guy?

Oh, yeah, Dad. This is Devin from Love Handled.

Oh, fine.

Come in, both of you.

Morning, Grandpa.

Again?

What?

Can I talk to you for a sec?

Yeah.

Is it okay if I give you a note?

Sure.

What if, in real life, you practice being more like the cheerful, helpful

on the show?

That way, when you're on camera, it's more authentic.

Okay. Great.

You know, your on -camera vibe is a big reason people want to be a part of this

family.

I've chosen a different shape for each member of the family. Everyone gets

own perfect cookie just for them.

What about Dad?

Where's his cookie?

Oh, Steve?

Well, he gets these beautiful play balls.

They're his favorite.

Not Steve. My real dad, Greg.

Not everyone wants to be a part of this family, and it's your fault.

What has gotten into you?

Dad hated me. these videos and so do i and then you bring this director guy and

i don't want to do them anymore we will be right back for more love

handled christmas hacks with me christina chance what just

happened i wanted to be helpful so i gave her a note

um what kind of note

I just suggested maybe she'd be more like the Kaylee from the videos we all

love. You know, so she's more genuine on camera.

Okay, Devin.

You have to understand something.

Kaylee blames the divorce on my channel.

Her father never supported it, and he left.

And that's Steve.

Right. Yeah, Kaylee has come a long way, and she puts on a brave face for these

videos, and I love her for that.

I'm sorry I didn't know. Well, you have to respect who she is. And she is

still... You know, figuring that out.

Note taken.

Hello? You're still on. You're still live.

You're on fire.

That was your one job.

One.

Good job.

Again, I am so sorry.

I give people notes all the time. Well, she's a moody preteen.

So? Yeah, I'm not used to that.

If you give me a chance, I know what plays.

And that's authenticity.

We need to get your family to match their on -camera personas.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Pump the brakes there, fella.

I can't manipulate my family that way. That is not fair to them.

Okay, well, I'm just trying to figure out how I can help.

Okay.

Well, we have time, so...

Let's get you some real skills.

That would help me.

Um, first step, you gotta learn how to bake.

Make it work.

Let's bake!

Did you tell Nicole we're not doing the show?

Why bother?

Wow.

I cannot believe I'm cooking with Christina A. Chance.

Really getting my hands in there.

Yeah, your hand is in the eggs.

Sorry, I guess I'm just a little nervous.

Oh, why? Is it because you're such a big fan?

I really, really am.

You know, I remember the first time I tried baking cookies for my kids.

I read in the recipe that you had to separate the eggs, so I put them all in

different bowls.

I was a huge mess.

Wanda didn't teach you?

Oh, absolutely not.

The only time that woman has worn an apron is for a pin -up.

Wow. Yeah.

I'm self -taught.

Cooking shows, videos, recipes.

Yeah, I actually found this old Love Handles cookbook, and I know it sounds

weird, but it changed my life.

It was all about saving time so you could be with your family, and I really

needed that.

It helped me through a tough time.

I had no idea cooking could do all that. It's all about measurements at first,

and then, you know.

You can get creative.

Creative, huh?

It's not really me.

Oh, come on.

Everyone is in their own way.

Not everyone.

All right, well, I disagree.

And I think that, you know, once you get that down, you can add a little love.

Love?

Yeah.

Okay, for example, these sugar cookies we're making, well, I know Kaylee. She

likes little...

Pumpkin spice in hers.

Hugo doesn't like the spice, but add some sprinkles.

Oh, he will eat them all.

Walnuts for Dad and Mom, she gets red hot.

See, that's why I do it. You just create for the ones you love.

And what about you?

Um, strawberries.

They don't really go in sugar cookies.

Yeah.

And Steve?

You know, I don't really know.

I can't wait for you to see the hottest new Love

Handles product to make this special day even easier.

See you in ten.

Bye, everybody.

And we're out!

Kaylee! Oh, that was so good!

Best one out of seven!

Because you're so weird.

Okay, you're late again.

And it was worth the wait.

Hi, I'm Devin from Love Handled.

Hello. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

My girlfriend, pal.

This is Devin from Love Handled. Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no. It's okay. He already knows. But, you know, I appreciate you,

though. I thought I blew it.

Steve, um, Devin is going to help you with the lights. Sure, yeah. More the

merrier. Oh, and here's a new design.

Okay.

Yeah, sure.

Four hands are better than two.

Smart idiom. Huh.

Did you call me?

Okay,

let's go. Yeah.

I'm not the president.

So, looks like Christina brought in a ringer.

You should know, playing her fake husband and all.

But you're dating her mom.

How does that even work?

One day at a time, man.

Yeah, sure, but Christina, she... You know, you two have never... Dude,

she's my future stepdaughter.

Okay.

But I've seen you two kiss.

Yeah, acting.

You've done a lot of acting? Yeah, actually I have. I was the lead in like

single one of our high school musicals. Me and Christina were like the acting

couple. So there's no one else in the picture?

Not since Greg left.

I'm the man of two households.

And this is me dressed as an elf.

That goes on the tree for sure.

Don't care. Sleeping.

Okay, we have to use the kid, but you can each have...

Two family ornaments.

Remember this?

When we went to Holiday World?

We had so much fun!

Didn't Dad throw up? I'm the Easter Bunny.

He deserved it.

Oh, hey Dad, can you hand me the star?

Oh.

Dashing husband, huh?

He's from Love Handles. He's practically my boss.

I don't think I trust him.

He's too good looking.

Okay, well, he's here to help, though.

I bet he is.

Okay, I don't have time to even think about that.

He can't be single forever.

Yes, she can.

Okay, how would that even work?

I have a fake internet husband. No one wants to be a part of that.

And plus, you know, I've been down that road before with Greg, and I just, I

won't do it again.

Well, I just want you to have what Steve and I have.

Gross. Okay, you guys don't get it.

My kids and work take priority.

I don't have the luxury of a personal life.

You can build anything you want with the Love Handles Gingerbread mix.

Right, Hugo?

But I wanted to build a castle.

No. No, no, no. You said you wanted a rocket.

No, I want a real life rocket. A gingerbread rocket makes no sense.

Sometimes I feel like you don't listen to me.

And we'll be right back for more Love Handles Gingerbread creations.

All right, everyone, in three, two, one.

Oh!

Merry Christmas!

I'm here!

I'm here!

Ho, ho, ho!

Santa!

Oh, who could that be?

Here you are, little man.

Don't forget to like and subscribe.

I'm Christina Chance. And I'm Santa.

And this has been Christina A. Chance for Christmas, a live cast takeover

extravaganza. Merry Christmas to all.

And Merry Christmas.

And we're out.

Where'd the other thing end up?

Everyone else was booked. So, we have plans.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Christmas ball. Love you. Is he rock fine? Went to the

daughter's boyfriend. Yeah, have a great time.

Great work today, babe. Don't call her babe!

Right.

Do you want me to stay? Oh, no, Dad. It's fine, thanks. Okay.

Okay. Where are you hiding him?

We should check the numbers.

Oh, okay. So, uh, not two million. But better than last time. Oh, weird.

So close. You know, if I could just unlock Hugo.

What if he built that castle he did just now? Maybe it just needs to be bigger.

Yeah, yeah, I'm learning. I can do more. You are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we can

get you to a place where you can do the gingerbread by yourself, then I can

focus on the cookie prep. Yeah, and there'll be more time for setup.

Yeah, and we're going to need a bigger tree.

Hey, do you guys still need me?

And can I get a ride home?

It's as easy as...

Oh, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Perfect, Kaylee.

We need to change.

Reverse psychology.

Nice.

Oh. Oh, it's just you.

Good morning to you, too. I got the... Wow.

You look really... Wow.

Oh, thank you.

Hi. Hi. Who the hell is this guy?

Oh, I'm, uh, Devin from Love Handle. I am a big fan of yours, Rick.

Just keep on loading, and don't forget that generator. And then we'll show you

the plan.

Oh, another set of hand is really going to send this over the edge. Yeah, I am

feeling good about this one.

Yeah, 30 seconds at times a charm. Yeah.

Things are going to be different today, like a lot different. I just need you

all to roll with it, okay?

But we rehearsed it. Why are we changing it?

I just need you to trust me, Dad, okay? I know what I'm doing. We'll do

everything. What? Who is this guy?

Devin from Love Handles. That's right. I need you to just stay out of the way,

okay? Just for a bit until we get going. It'll be great.

Super fun.

So what do I do? Don't worry about it, bud. We'll think of something to do out

of the way.

It'll be great. You'll see. You're going to love it.

I know. It's beautiful.

Look at you.

Yep. Okay.

Did you put butter in? No. Oh, yeah. Just enough, right?

Okay, everyone.

The time is... Finally here.

It might have taken a little while, but oh, it was worth the wait. Okay, Kaylee,

get into position.

Mouth open wide.

This has been Chances for Cooking saying, let love handles handle it. See

again in ten.

Cut. That was great. Oh, right? That was so amazing. Oh, that was so well. That

was a cookie for the record. I know.

I can't believe you.

What? On Christmas Eve and with this guy.

What are you talking about?

Seriously? I see how it is.

You're going to do all this with some corporate stooge, then spend time with

your own family. With me.

Kaylee. You launched a cookie.

At my face.

Where's Mr. Jawline?

He is downstairs, helping.

Well, nice for you.

Kaylee, I'm sorry.

Oh, yeah? For what?

I know you think my job pushed your dad away.

You are so off base.

I am?

I hate that it pushes you away.

I'm right here.

No, you're not.

We don't do anything together.

What are you talking about? We just baked cookies.

You baked cookies with Devin from Love Handles.

I just want to hang out with you and talk.

But we don't do any of that anymore.

You know,

when your grandparents were split, I wanted my mom to tell me everything was

going to be okay.

And she didn't.

She was hurting and going through her own thing, and we stopped hanging out.

We stopped talking.

Hey, I do not want that for us.

You and I, we won't be like that.

I think I was just... I was just trying to give you your space to heal, and that

was wrong.

You're right. We do need to hang out and talk more. I just... I didn't know that

you wanted that, and now that I do... Honey, I promise you things will be

different.

Really? Yes, of course.

I need to get through this day.

Yeah, whatever.

Just give me today, okay, baby?

See you at the finale?

Fine.

You can just bring that inside the house. Thank you.

Why? Oh, isn't it great?

I thought I was doing the lights. But now you don't have to. You can just

on your acting.

What's wrong with my acting? No, nothing.

What's going on here?

Well, Mom, had you been on time, you would have been here for the family

meeting. You had a family meeting without me? I am the family.

I thought I was doing the lights.

Okay, today is about rolling with it. Mom.

We have to do a costume change. Come with me.

And, uh, Steve, you're on in five.

Yay!

I thought I was doing the lights.

Hey, babe.

Hey, babe.

Are you ready?

I just need a second, Devin, from Love Handles.

Hey, babe.

Okay, I think I got it.

Great. Okay.

Okay, we're going live in three, two, one.

Steve is attaching the Happy Handles Christmas lights. Oh, the happiest

on your block.

Oh, and they come with their own hook.

And it gives me more time to spend with you, babe.

Oh.

Oh, can you demonstrate, babe?

Yeah.

It's as easy as one, two, three. So easy.

You make it look so easy.

I can't believe you did all this. Wow.

I didn't do it. They did it.

All right, great.

Back it up this way. Oh, great job. Yeah, if you can just put it into the

garage, that'd be great. Thank you. I really appreciate it. Thanks, guys.

Hey, is this what you were thinking?

I drew up a little something.

Wait, you did this?

This is amazing.

Using six Love Handles tree kits, we've created this epic design.

It's definitely a tree Santa can't ignore. Right, Mom?

If you like that kind of thing.

It'd have to be blind.

Blind with Christmas?

Hey, buddy. I think you're really going to like this one.

Let's go.

Okay, watch your head. Let's go.

Come on. Run, run, run. Here we go.

Whoa.

I know, right?

But, Mom.

Yeah, buddy?

We didn't build it together.

Oh, but I did it for you.

Do you want to get your action figures to play with it? Yeah.

See? You can build anything you want with a Love Handles gingerbread mix.

Mom, come play with me. Oh, of course I will.

And we're out.

Okay, let's move on. I think that works really well. I thought we were going to

play. Oh, we'll have time to play later. Don't worry.

This is so exciting, everyone.

All right, all you dancers.

Here's the moment you've all been waiting for. And three, two, one.

Merry Christmas.

Oh, Steve, the lights are beautiful.

So cold.

Oh. I hope you have all enjoyed today as much as I have. Leave a comment of your

Gingerbread with Hugo, $400 ,000. Finale, $550 ,000.

$2 .1 million. We did it.

We should tell the family and celebrate.

Yeah.

I know you have the ball, but we did it.

I got the ambassadorship. Let's celebrate.

Steve.

Congratulations.

You know, I've never been disappointed in you. Not your entire life.

Until today.

I hope you got what you need, Mom.

We did it. The day's gonna turn over and... They hate me.

They don't hate you.

They do.

Tomorrow's gonna suck.

It might.

But you get it tomorrow.

Yeah.

Yeah, I do.

We do. We do!

We get to do whatever we want.

Hmm. Well, I should probably go.

Right. I mean, you probably have stuff to do.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. I got to pack and get up early and drive home.

And then, you know, Christmas.

Oh, yeah.

That.

Congratulations.

Love handles the lucky to have you.

Uh, Devin.

Yeah.

I mean, you don't have to go right now.

Are you sure?

I mean, it wouldn't be unprofessional?

Well, after 67 Christmas Eves together, I kind of

think we deserve a drink.

Good night, Kaylee.

Sorry.

I love you.

You've really never seen that?

No. Used to be my favorite.

You know,

I don't even know where your Christmas traditions are.

Do you have any?

My grandma used to bake for me.

She was big into fruitcakes.

Oh, that sounds... Disgusting?

Yeah, it was.

But that was Christmas.

The tree, the stockings, and her rock -hard cake.

She was a terrible baker. Oh, no.

Oh.

But that was our thing.

Sweet.

What about your parents?

Well, my dad left when I was really young.

And my mom moved us in with my grandma.

And then my mom, she, um,

she, uh, passed away.

It was sudden.

Then it was just us.

My grandmommy.

Sorry. It's okay.

Families. Coming all sizes, right?

Yeah, they do.

And when Greg left, I felt alone.

Still do.

But you got that family.

And the kids.

And they're great.

Yeah, they are, aren't they?

The whole...

Christina A. Chan thing.

I thrive to be that woman for them.

I don't know. The real Christina?

She's pretty great.

Oh.

I have something for you.

Really?

Okay, so, um, honestly, I forgot I even had it. My neighbor brought it over,

like, a week ago. Well, I mean, for us, it's been longer.

Oh, I didn't even know people still did that.

Yeah, it's gotta be terrible.

Oh, it's gonna be terrible.

We should eat it.

Okay.

It's really bad.

No, it's not as bad as I remember.

This is really good.

Make sure to thank your neighbor for us.

No one up yet?

I, uh... I wanted to apologize about yesterday. I got carried away, and I

Devin and I, we just kept one -upping each other, and I... Who's Devin?

Oh! Merry Christmas.

Why didn't you get him up?

Well, I thought you might want to sleep in.

Yeah, I did.

Are we not filming?

Not on Christmas Day.

In fact, I wanted to apologize about how I acted. Mom, it's Christmas Eve.

And that's not funny.

No.

No, it's not Christmas Eve.

We did it. I don't understand.

Christina!

It didn't work.

What if it's not two million? What if it's more?

We can get back into it. We can make them bigger. No, I can't do that to my

family again. They don't remember. But I do.

Right, you're right.

Hey, Nicole.

Yeah, we're fired? Great.

Okay, Merry Christmas. Bye -bye.

Okay, what exactly did Santa say? Do you remember?

It was so long ago.

That stupid, jolly old man.

This is all his fault. Oh, I know. If I could just get my hands on him.

Santa's here.

Where is he? Who?

Where is he? You're crazy.

You tell me where the feminist is right now.

You know where he is.

What are you doing? I'm watching you, man.

Get inside.

The neighbors are watching.

What are you doing here?

You wouldn't answer the front door. Why aren't you dressed?

It's over.

What do you mean?

We're just not doing the videos anymore.

Okay, we're stuck in this together.

We'll figure this out.

We are a team.

Okay, this says a nuclear explosion can reach that time distortion.

Okay, you really want to do that?

Okay, seems iffy.

Writing letter center just covering all the bases

Do you have another piece

What

do you think Santa wants

People to believe in him.

OK. How do I do that?

We go sing carols, give gifts to orphans, tell everybody what

he did to us.

No one will believe that.

Are you sure?

Dad?

What would you say if I told you that Devin and I have been cursed by Santa

Claus to relive Christmas Eve over and over and over again?

Nope.

Yes, you're right.

We are getting nowhere.

Yeah.

Well, we got nothing but time.

Yeah.

You okay?

Mom, why didn't you wake us up?

I don't care.

Are we gonna film today?

I don't think so.

Is she okay?

Come on, kids.

Hey. Hi.

Come in.

I can't do this anymore.

I know what you mean.

Stupid, are you gonna come?

I'm glad you did.

I missed you today.

Okay. You're the only person I can talk to.

Can I get you something?

Or some food?

No, nothing, Albert.

Are you sure?

I've ordered the whole menu every night and tried it to love handles.

I did that.

You want to order more than that?

No, no, no.

I just mean, is this all we're ever going to have? Just today? Like, over

and over and over again?

Well, at least you get to spend it with your family.

Obviously, they love you.

I'm not so sure.

Are you kidding?

I spend so many days with you guys.

I mean, look at Kaylee.

She hates these videos.

I mean, quirked and all, whether it worked or not, I just want to spend time

with you.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, but there's no future.

I'm never going to get a midnight phone call from Kaylee asking me to pick her

up from an out -of -control party.

Or talk to Hugo about his first love.

See them graduate or get married. I'm never going to babysit my own grandkids.

And you'll never have to go to Stephen Wanda's wedding.

That is true.

Maybe if today's all we're ever going to get, then we should appreciate the time

we have.

Spend it with people we love.

What are you doing here?

Good question.

Also, who are you?

Oh, uh, Dad, this is Devin.

I thought you said to spend the day with the people we love.

I am.

Is that okay?

Yeah, of course.

Oh, uh, come on, come in.

Did you grow these yourself? Oh, yeah, in the Norway backyard, you know? Oh,

okay, that's right.

Probably. Do you want the last one?

No, you have it. It's your favorite.

Mom?

Are we filming today?

No,

baby, let's not.

But wait, you know, we could do something. You know, just the two of us.

Like what?

Whatever you want.

Do you think we could, like, actually bake cookies or whatever?

Uh, yeah.

Yeah, we could do that.

No cameras or anything, you know, just us.

Okay.

Uh, well, what does the recipe say?

It's smudged.

Okay, well, don't worry, because it has to soften first anyway.

Thanks.

Am I doing this right?

Yeah, you got it.

Sorry to interrupt. Just gonna grab some coffee.

Hey, no boys allowed.

Okay, so what you're gonna do, take the spatula, go all the way around the

upside, and circle back.

Muscles, let me see those muscles.

Guess you inherited some of my skills.

I guess so.

Hey, Hugo.

This is a no -boy zone.

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Oh, I'm Devin. Oh, don't worry, Hugo.

You're gonna love him.

Hey, you haven't gotten to this one, have you?

Um, no.

All right.

Look at that. Perfect. Okay, then next, we gotta whisk the egg.

So if we push this back, maybe we can put two in there.

Yeah, we can put the two extra springs in there, and then the bread will jump

twice as fast.

Yeah? Cool.

Let's try it.

I got that one.

You've got a steady hand.

I honked, and no one greeted me at the driveway. And yet, here you are.

I'll get started with the lights. Oh, no, it's fine. We're not filming today.

Uh, do you mind if I do the lights anyways?

Uh, if you want to, but you don't have to.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what the stepdad's do.

Okay, yeah. Sure, go ahead.

Oh, hey, uh, Steve?

Yeah? Um, what do you like in your sugar cookies?

Pop rocks.

Pop rock?

Yeah. I like a little adventure in my mouth.

Let me see about this tree.

Nicole, hey.

What's happening?

Where's the first video?

Change of plan. Trust me. I got it all under control.

And here's me in an elf outfit.

That goes on the tree for sure.

Don't care. Sleeping.

Oh.

I love you, Daddy.

Nope.

Hey, I like that one.

Remember this?

Christina rescued a bird, and she demanded that we get this.

So we'd have a friend.

You know what? We should use the mall.

What?

Why? Well, a Christmas tree should reflect the family that decorates it.

come on, Dad. You want to help?

Sure do.

Okay.

Uh, where? Where should we begin?

Hey.

You know, you really don't have to do this.

I know, but I like doing it. It's like my gift to the family.

Well, thanks.

You know, it's really nice having you around.

Thanks.

Is that... An adventure for your mouth.

Can we take a selfie?

Yeah, sure.

I just really want to remember this moment.

Okay.

Hey.

You like my mom.

What? No.

It's, uh... I mean, yeah.

We're just friends.

Uh -huh. Sure.

No, I mean, she's great, and I think she smells good, which is so important for

friends.

Don't hurt yourself.

She's been through a lot.

You don't have to worry about me.

I'm not going anywhere, okay?

I choose to be here every day.

Okay.

And then the turret for the archers is going to go over there.

And then the T -Rex stable is going to go over there.

So that they don't eat the griffin.

Aren't you going to build one?

Can I just help you build yours?

Yeah.

One question.

Where is the pirate ship going to dock?

Pirates, yeah. Next to the mechanical spider.

Three, two, one.

Merry Christmas.

They're beautiful.

Really? Thank you.

Hey, I got one more thing to show you.

Okay.

All right.

Here.

What is this?

It's you.

You and the family.

Why would you film us like this?

You guys just look so happy. I thought I would... What?

That we would post them?

Yeah.

No. I mean, look, you guys are just a perfect family the way you are. I just

thought the world should see the real you. I said no filming today.

I told them that we weren't filming. We weren't!

This is what you've been after this whole time.

Just watch the video.

These are personal moments. That's why I did it. We can't just be a substitute

because you don't have a family.

Wow.

Hey, Devin. Come play.

Devin?

What's wrong?

Not now, Dad.

You and Devin have a fight?

It's complicated.

I see.

Look, I don't know what happened.

But I do know that that young man likes you an awful lot.

For what it's worth, I really like these videos.

Hey. Look, you all do so much for me.

And I love you.

Just as you are.

But I need your help, okay?

I just, I want to make one more video.

Hi, everybody.

I posted some videos today that are not my normal quality.

But I have a confession to make.

I haven't been honest with you.

And I haven't been honest with Love Handles either.

I've been, uh...

misrepresenting my family, my life. I mean, my living room isn't spotless, or

kitchen. And my family, well, I mean, they're not perfect either.

And neither am I.

Oh, and Steve is not my husband, but he is my friend.

And he's been a great sport about all of this.

Steve is my boyfriend.

Yes.

He is.

Thanks, Mom.

I am, uh... I'm actually in love with another man.

And I really hope he's watching.

Devin, I was wrong.

I mean, after Greg, I had to do everything myself, and I thought I had

perfect to be loved.

But you showed me that isn't true.

Come back.

Why am I even packing?

Hello. There you are. I've been trying to get a hold of you.

Nicole, sorry, I forgot. I don't know what went on over there, but this

Christmas campaign is insane.

I know it's not what we planned, but it worked.

Five million engagements and counting.

Wait, what are you talking about?

You mean you haven't seen it yet?

Oh, you have got to go watch right away.

There is definitely something that you need to see.

Honey, you're making me ill.

Why isn't he messaging or anything? I mean, do you think he didn't see it?

Um, not that he's blind.

This video got like millions of views. I only care about one.

I'm actually in love with another man.

And I really hope he's watching.

Devin. I was wrong.

After Greg, I just, I had to do everything myself.

This is so exciting.

I presume it's been going on for months.

Something like that.

Babe, are we still going to the ball? What, in Mrs.

Climax? Right. I'll get the popcorn.

He's not coming.

I just want you to see it the way I see it. No, I do.

I watch them. I see it. I see what you must have seen. It's a beautiful gift.

I'm sorry. You have nothing to apologize for.

I hope you don't mind I got a little creative What are you doing here?

Merry Christmas

What did you do to my kitchen?

Introducing Love Handle's brand new ambassador, Christina A. Chance!

Yeah!

Hey, we did it! Oh, thank you.

Thanks!

It's not King Cole's thing.

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.

Just enough heat to beat the cold outside.

The snow blows like a shook up snow globe.

The kids and the presents here are wrapped up.

One day it's okay to make a fuss. Fantastic.

Between the mistletoe and the magic.

It's as good as it gets, but the fact is, you're better than Christmas Day.

It's you.

I was here yesterday.

You know, it was perfect.

So I take it you got what you needed?

Yes. Yes, we did.

It's snowing!

I just want to bow on that guy. Yeah.

A hundred days with laying in the yard, staring

up at stars, wondering where all the planes went.

It would be you.

Oh, it's you.

When the lights go out, we'll just keep on dancing in the dark.

Leave on the news until the broadcast stops broadcasting.

Just making drinks instead.
