I'm very impressed, Brunk. This is quite the holiday treat.

I just wanted to take my boss and my friend to dinner to say thank you for

past year.

Yes, that's the one.

I should be taking you.

Oh, I'm sure it's fine. You've created some very successful campaigns for our

company this season without a break.

At least allow me to make the toast.

Thank you.

Here's to your first 12 months.

And the next with our little marketing operation.

Cheers.

Like Christmas in a glass.

Such a special time of year, isn't it? I love Christmas.

All the small town traditions.

I always thought of you as more of a big city type. Where I grew up, you cut

down your own tree. And all the kids gather around the window displays on

Street. And the whole town turns out for a Christmas tree lighting ceremony to

kick off.

You make it sound idyllic. It is.

Hot chocolate, no angels, a huge Christmas fair.

Sarah, I could really use that right now.

I want to get back.

I want an old -fashioned Christmas like the kind my sister and I shared as kids.

I hear you just signed a new client. A winery in eastern Washington?

Lockwood Crest Family Vineyards, yes.

They're in serious trouble.

Absolutely desperate for a new marketing campaign by Christmas.

Well, that's where I was raised.

Columbia River Valley. I know it well.

I know the people. I can help them and relive the Christmas from my childhood.

I've seen their sales figures.

This won't be easy.

Sarah, I can do it.

Please, I really need this.

Well, then, it's yours.

Really? Merry Christmas, Brooke.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

Kelly! Hi!

It's your sister.

Surprise! I'm coming home for the holiday, and I cannot wait to see you

beautiful family. I know it's last minute. I just found out myself, but

okay?

Love sent to me, for kindness.

Three French hens, two turtle ducks, and a partridge in a pear tree.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me four calling birds,

French hens, two turtle ducks, and a partridge in a pear tree. On the sixth

day of Christmas, my true love sent to me four calling birds, three French

two turtle ducks, and a partridge in a pear tree.

My car's over here.

You know, it's for a holiday party at my bridge club.

Why they put me in charge, I'll never know.

I don't even drink.

You've made a fine choice. It's one of our best wines.

Well, now, we can put that in the back seat.

Excuse me.

Welcome to Lockwood Family Crest.

Hi, I have a meeting with Evelyn Lockwood. That'd be my mom. My name's

Brooke Sherman, you still work here?

Still.

You don't remember me.

There's no reason you should. I was two years behind you in school.

Oh, yeah, no, I... No, you don't.

No, I don't.

Um, Brooke, you said.

Mr. Lockwood?

My wife?

You're the customer. I'll be right with you, ma 'am.

She's down in the chapel tasting room. It's by the vineyards along the path.

Oh, great. Thank you. I'll find it.

Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

the production room, everything.

Well, it really looks beautiful, Mrs. Lockwood. Evelyn, please.

I'd hoped that the investment would help business, but it didn't. In point of

fact, it got worse.

People just aren't buying our wines the way they used to, and if we can't fix

things soon, well... What does your distributor say?

We used to be with one of the big ones, but we lost him to Kilgore Wines.

They're taking over the whole valley. We are waiting to hear back from multiple

distributors. We have high hopes. We need to rebrand you as a destination

winery. It's not only about the wine, but the whole experience.

Create a little buzz.

You're a family -friendly business.

I do like the way that sounds.

Whatever we do, it has to be by Christmas.

Any reason for that deadline?

We just need to see some real progress.

And soon, some light at the end of the tunnel.

Did I hear you're from the area?

Yeah, I grew up here. My parents moved to Arizona, but my sister still lives in

town. Kelly Sherman?

Kelly Baker, now?

She teaches music at the elementary school.

It's a small town, but not that small, I guess.

Evelyn, have you ever thought about sprucing up for the holidays?

Me? Or the room?

Okay, well, of course we need to focus on more than decor, but...

It's a place to start.

If we bring some real Christmas to the winery,

customers are sure to follow.

Yes.

Oh, I am feeling very good about hiring your firm.

Won't Tyler be surprised?

He doesn't know?

I just wanted to be sure first. Still, I know my son. He'll be fine with it.

So I assume you'll be staying with your sister.

No, I wanted to be close to work, so I checked into the bed and breakfast on my

way into town. With all the space we have here, nonsense.

You drive back over there right this minute, get your things, we'll settle

in. That is such a nice offer. No arguments.

We're family here at Family Craft.

Says so right in the name.

Well, okay.

Thank you.

That didn't take long.

Is everything all right?

Absolutely. Evelyn will fill you in. Come on. What's the big mystery?

I have to get back to town, but looks like we're going to be working together.

What? We're going to... What?

Talk to your mom.

Nice to see you again, Tyler.

Yeah, you too.

A whole new marketing plan.

Mom, can we really afford that right now?

We can't afford not to.

I know that, but...

We're running out of options, Ty.

Yeah.

Merry

Christmas,

kids. Word to the wife, enjoy every minute of it.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Don't forget your change.

And Merry Christmas.

You too. Thank you.

Brooke? It's Lila Garrett.

Lila, it's so good to see you.

Do you work at the gallery?

Better. I own it now.

Grace, wait for Mommy.

If you're here for a while, drop in for a visit.

I'd love to catch up. That sounds great. Mommy!

Sorry, got to run. No, I get it. Thank you.

Hi.

Jack Matheson, right?

Yes. How can I help you? I checked into your dad's bed and breakfast this

morning, but my plans have changed. I just picked up my bag, but he wasn't

there, and I was hoping I could leave it with you. Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Oh, the Christmas fair.

That's one of my favorite traditions as a kid. Every Christmas Eve.

Is that why you're in town?

One of the reasons. I mean, I wouldn't miss it. The fair and old friends.

Can I offer you something?

I've got hot apple cider brewing.

Perfect for a cold day like this.

I'd love some.

It's coming right up. It's like I never left.

Merry Christmas.

If you're interested in wine, I can recommend this.

At some errands in town.

That's how you duck in here.

Wine. By Tyler Lockwood.

What's that for a title?

Well, I think it paints a pretty accurate picture.

So you're an author?

One book.

I hear Hemingway started with one book.

Could be a rumor, though. Don't quote me on that. Well, that's probably it for

me. One and done.

I did not see this on display at the winery.

Well, it kind of feels like bragging. You wrote it to sell it, right?

And if it highlights your business, you guys do need me.

And your mom didn't tell you, huh?

No. No, she does this sort of thing all the time.

I mean, last spring, for example, I came home only to find that we were now

raising pygmy goats.

Which lasted all of a week.

Not that I'm comparing you to goats, of course. Thanks for clarifying.

Seriously. We're counting on you to help us out. You know, at least to point us

in the right direction. With a product like yours, that won't be a problem.

Cider's up.

Oh, I'll take this, too.

Comes highly recommended.

Please. My treat.

Compliments to the author.

You will not get rich like that.

Wasn't on my bucket list anyway.

Mmm. That cider's amazing.

So do you have some time? Maybe we can grab a bite.

You know, if we're going to be working together, it might be nice to get to

each other. Sure.

The diner's good.

Great burgers.

Works for me.

Diner? Already on my Christmas list.

Needs to be in my old spot.

Well, hey, in a town this size, it's everybody's old spot.

True.

Thanks, Jack. Merry Christmas.

Look at how big these things are.

They're so messy. Wow.

It's a nice change from seafood, I imagine.

That's mostly what you eat on the coast, right?

Oh, yeah.

Practically every meal.

It's a city ordinance.

How was life in Seattle?

Good.

It's exactly what I was looking for when I left town after high school.

Big city, big life, big career.

I just thought it would be more somehow.

More what exactly?

nor satisfying.

I don't know.

Still figuring it out. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do when I grow

up. Have you been with the company for very long?

It will be a year this Christmas.

I just came off this huge marketing campaign for a footwear company. Kind of

Cinderella themed.

Very nice.

It's cute.

It was.

It was great. We had all these models dressed as princesses in all the outlet

stores. Trying on heels and flats and flip flops.

Obvious, but social media went wild for it. Not bad.

Got people talking.

So tell me about you.

There's not a lot to tell.

I'm still here, carrying on the Lockwood family tradition.

Now that's in jeopardy. I'm so sorry.

Thanks. There's just too much competition with a bigger company that

buying up all the smaller wineries.

Kilgore Wines.

Your mom told me. And you guys are one of the last holdouts.

Good for you.

Here's the deal.

You teach me about wine, and I will teach you how to market it.

Together, I have no doubt we can turn this around.

I don't know what it is, but when you say it, I believe you.

You've always been this sure of yourself.

Only when I know I'm right.

There you go.

Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome.

Oh, please.

No, I got it. It's a business expense.

You sure?

I'm sure.

See? We're a great team already.

How does it feel being back?

You can't imagine.

I had a really wild year.

What I needed more than anything was a hometown Christmas.

The kind of holiday I had as a kid.

Right, some comfort food for the soul. Yes.

Oh, like the tree.

Oh, I guess I missed the lighting ceremony, huh?

My family and I used to make a whole evening out of it every year.

Yeah, well, we haven't done that for a few years now.

So many of the boutique wineries have bought out that a ton of people left

and... I guess the new businesses don't care as much. Oh, no, no. Don't tell me

that. No band? No children's choir?

They flip a switch and call it Christmas now.

Rock! Kelly!

Why didn't you call me back?

I've been so busy with the school play, and I had to run these errands.

Oh, Tyler Lockwood, my sister Kelly, the music teacher.

Hi. Hi.

Brooke's working with us over at the winery.

Lockwood Prep.

Oh, yeah, sure.

That's... That's still open. And going strong. Spread the word.

We are launching an exciting new marketing campaign.

Well, hooray for you being home. It's been way too long.

I know.

Entirely my fault. I got really caught up in work this year. I know. It's not

excuse. I'm determined to fix it this year.

How's my nephew?

How's Michael?

Oh, he's great. Getting taller every day.

At home with Scott, his dad. So I can do some Christmas shopping. I can't wait

to see him.

Just give me a few days to get settled.

Well, okay. I still have to get to some stores before they close. It was lovely

to meet you, Tyler.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas, sis.

Okay. Love you. Love you. Bye.

See,

that's what I've been missing.

I bet it feels like Christmas now.

It really does.

It also feels like a very long day.

Yeah. So where are you staying? I can walk you back if you like.

That would be quite a walk.

I'm actually parked up the street, so I'll drive myself.

Sure.

See you in the morning.

What's all this? Another meeting?

No, not a meeting. I'm checking in.

What? Evelyn insisted I stay here.

Here, here.

At the house.

Your mom doesn't really take no for an answer.

You ever notice that?

Yeah, every single day of my life.

Let me help you with this. Oh, I got it.

Please, I insist.

No, really, it's okay. Thank you.

Hi, Evelyn.

Welcome back.

Your home is beautiful.

Look who I ran into in town.

Hi, Mom.

The guest rooms are on the second floor, left door, and your right. Sure, Tyler.

And help the girl with her luggage. Is that how I raised you?

See? Now you got me in trouble.

Okay, I'll allow it.

You make yourself at home. Thank you so much.

Any other surprises I should know about?

Nothing you should know about.

I can take it from here.

Thanks.

So, what's the plan?

Up and out on Brighton early.

From now till Christmas.

That sounds like quite the holiday.

It will be.

Just you wait.

Wow. Is this what a marketing exec does?

This is just window dressing.

The real work began last night, researching your competition, updating

website, which reminds me, we got to talk about your social media.

What's social media?

Exactly.

Hey, I need to grab another tree for that corner.

You want to ride out to Mr. Buckle's farm? We can chop it down ourselves. We

do it every year when I'm the kid. It's really fun.

Well, that'd be a great idea if it were still there.

Kill a girl when he's bought it.

Yeah, it's level to make room for more vineyards.

Big business strikes again.

Yeah. Such a shame.

I'll figure something out. In the meantime, I reached out to all the

magazines, the food and wine critics. It's all about name recognition. You

what sets the Lockwood label apart?

As long as we don't lose what got us this far, right?

I mean, we have a lot of memories wrapped up in these vineyards.

So check out upstairs sometime.

That's where Mom keeps the entire Lockwood family history.

See, that's what we're selling.

The feeling of family.

Your family.

I have a lot of memories in this valley, too.

Local vineyards in the summer.

I even had a job one year, stomping the grapes.

Hey, we all used to do that.

It was before the machines took over. My feet were purple for weeks.

They called me grape ape in the locker room.

See, I was smarter.

Never took my socks off.

That's nice.

So how much do you know about wine?

Let's... Pretend I know nothing.

Because you don't.

Show me all the stuff about wine.

Okay.

Let's start with the taping then, shall we? Now that I know quite a lot about.

We'll see.

Great.

Oh, can I look at the label? I just want to see the vintage.

Sure, why?

I just want to make sure you didn't crush these grapes with your feet. We're

good.

Proper. Always.

No other way to... Whoa, whoa, not so fast.

There's an entire art to this.

Oh.

First, down low by the stem, we start by looking.

So we raise our glasses up to the light, we check the clarity.

Next, flat on the table, a good swirl.

You're going to look at the patterns in the center.

Maybe try to keep it in the glass?

No, Blake, that's never happened to you.

Never. Okay, now what?

We sniff.

Sniff? Just a couple short ones.

It tickles my nose a little.

Well, it should.

See, the finer wines satisfy all the senses, not just taste.

Now, if you'd like, go ahead and sip.

But do not swallow.

I won't swallow?

Mm -mm.

You're going to swish and spit.

I'll spit it out?

After you swish, it aerates the wine.

It hits all the taste buds.

Flavor's blooming, all right.

Actually, yeah.

Wow, that's kind of amazing.

Now what?

I say we drink.

Don't have to ask me, Dwight.

So.

All right, I'm saving our humble winery.

What's on your agenda this Christmas?

Well, I had a whole list of things I wanted to do when I was home, but so

has changed.

The tree farm, the lighting ceremony downtown.

Has anyone moved any mountains yet?

Why do you ask?

My parents got Kelly and me sleds for Christmas one year.

We came out here every weekend until springtime.

That's quite a workout.

I know.

It didn't used to be. Must be these inner tubes.

Yeah. Either that or the mountain got steeper since high school.

I remember you on the football team back then.

Everybody thought you might go pro.

I had some chances, some athletic scholarships if I wanted them, but that

never going to happen.

Why not?

I've had the vineyard for over 50 years.

I learned the trade and the business directly from my father and my

Now it's my turn.

I'm sure that's what they expected, but what did you want?

Same thing.

Lockwood Family Crest. Never a doubt. Nope.

Must be comforting to know exactly what you want from life.

Don't you?

Not yet.

I'll figure it out.

For now, the mountain's waiting.

Hey!

Where are you going?

I knew we were racing. I wanted to stretch first.

All right.

We're going to get serious about this.

Oh, here are our official Santa hats.

Okay. No, no, no. It's not my rule. It's in the Christmas handbook.

Article two, section seven. Yeah, no.

You're setting yourself up for a big fight if they catch you.

Well, hey.

again. You know, you're very pushy. Yeah.

What about better qualities?

Help me up.

Okay, right to the top.

You gotta be kidding me.

Hey, come on.

What now?

Back to work.

You didn't pay me to slide down mountains.

You know what would look really beautiful?

White Christmas lights.

All throughout the vineyard. Just the whole hillside of us.

It's pretty perfect in its natural splendor, isn't it?

Sure, but I think it would just really brighten everything up. Really get

out here.

Hi. I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd stop in and see if you've

any thought to my offer.

Brooke Sherman, this is Carla Kilgore.

She and her company own most of the valley these days. Okay, so you're the

Oh, you've been talking about me, Tyler? Should I be flattered?

The mom -and -pop places are struggling.

I'm trying to help.

So eliminating the competition is a sort of charity work.

Lockwood Family Crafts is a family business.

We're still not going to sell. Well, the choice is yours.

I've just seen the numbers, and they don't lie.

So the offer's on the table till midnight, Christmas Eve.

It's here before you know it.

I'll see you next week at the fair committee.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

So that's the Christmas deadline.

Don't you guys ever consider selling?

Never. We Lockwoods never give up.

I like your attitude.

We'll make sure it doesn't come to that.

Well, I think I hear you saying that. Yeah.

Maybe ready for a fight?

Yeah, I mean. Yeah?

Remember,

you started this. I told you.

Coasters, corkscrews, bottle beanies.

We always come up with something, but this year I'm at a loss.

Yeah, people have come to expect something that says Merry Christmas now

they visit.

Well, I think that this is great, and we can build on it.

Rather than waiting for them to come to you, why don't we try going to them?

Do you have anywhere we could spread out, roll our sleeves up?

Hard to believe this is a workspace.

Chandeliers. Yeah, they were a gift from Dad to Mom years ago. Christmas.

I love that.

There's so much family history here. I mean, everywhere you look.

You seem awfully appreciative of family history.

Kind of everything, isn't it?

Even these wreaths. My sister and I used to make them together every year. We'd

use evergreen clippings, berries, discount store decorations.

Whatever we had on hand.

On that note, what do you think of this?

It's not bad.

A little more holly and maybe tuck in an ornament right in there.

How many of these are we making again?

Enough to fill your truck bed.

And on each one of them, we're going to put one of these.

Merry Christmas. From Lockwood Crest.

Oh, Christmas tree.

Hey, Tyler.

Thanks.

This will be on the door tonight.

I'm glad you like it, Hank.

Tell your wife hello for me.

Oh, reminds me. I've got to come out and pick up a case at that Merlot I like.

Can't wait.

Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas.

Hey, how's it going?

Oh, great.

Mr. Anderson?

Brooke? Brooke Sherman?

Well, there's a face from the past.

You must know Tyler Lockwood. We've done a lot of business in our day. Merry

Christmas, Todd. Merry Christmas. A hometown holiday, is it? A working

Just here for a few weeks helping out Lockwood Family Crest. We're spreading

cheer. I see that.

Hey, maybe you could put one up at the nursery. You always do such elaborate

Christmas displays.

You didn't hear?

I sold the place last summer.

Carla Kilgore's company.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I was looking forward to coming out. There's no regrets.

They paid well.

And it gives me extra time to spend with the grandkids.

What'd you do with all those Christmas decorations?

They're in storage.

I didn't have the heart to sell them, but now there's no place to show them

Maybe there is.

Welcome to Lockwood Crest Family Wine.

Pretty great, huh?

Oh, man, this place has Brooke Sherman written all over it. Well, what's the

point of being a hometown girl if you can't call in a few favors, huh?

Oh, let me take that for you. Oh, thanks.

Wow, what a display.

I'm bringing the whole family out tomorrow to snap next year's Christmas

I'm glad you like it. No wine today?

Your mom says that you sold out of the Merlot that I like, the 2017.

I don't mind a lot of cases. You set aside.

You find it, you put my name on it. You got it.

Hey, Brooke.

Mind helping me look for some wine in the aging room?

Yeah. Definitely Christmas card worthy.

Gosh,

it's a shame this space doesn't get more used.

Yeah? What would you do with it?

Dinners, dances, wedding receptions for sure.

Yeah, well, we are a winery. That should be enough.

Oh. Did you find it?

Yeah. This will make Hank's holiday.

What are those?

Bottles.

Empties waiting to be sanitized and recycled.

Come on.

Oh, you bet. We're all about Christmas in your family, Chris.

Try them or not.

A wine tree, who knew?

I'm telling you, Christmas really brings out the elf in me.

Yeah, you really love the season, don't you?

Yeah, I really do.

Don't you?

Well, I can take it or leave it. It's more of a kid thing, right?

There is not an age limit on Christmas.

You must have some good memories.

I do.

You know, my dad used to love it. My granddad, too.

Remember the year they both dressed up as Santa to surprise you?

Wound up surprising each other?

Yeah. Wait, two Santas?

Yeah. How do you explain that one?

I was told that Santa was twins, and so for several years after that, I put out

two plates of cookies and wrote two letters to the North Pole.

That is really cute.

Okay, ready?

What do you think?

Rockets perfect.

It's Christmas. It's the winery.

I don't... Hey, lovebirds.

How about a smile?

Sure.

This one's going on Instagram.

Hashtag adorable.

Oh, tag the winery.

Yes, please.

Oh, glad you made it.

Sorry we're late. I hope you guys don't mind.

I brought Brooke Sherman along. Everybody, Brooke.

Hi, hi, everybody. Brooke, everybody. Of course I remember some of you. Hi,

Lila. Since the Christmas fair is for such a good cause, we just voted to

the profit to the River Valley Arts Program this year. Oh, what a great

And since my company is hosting, I am picking up all related expenses.

Oh, quite a generous gift, Carla.

Well, I'm happy to do my fair share for the community.

Miss Sherman, I just want to say I think it's so great that the proceeds are

going back into the community.

Anyone needs a volunteer, I'm your girl.

That's so nice of you.

I don't want to brag, but I did win the stuffed elf toss two years in a row,

eighth and ninth grade.

Do you guys remember the hayride? The children's choir, so cute.

And my grandmother's cookies.

This presentation is going to be a little bit more of a grown -up

You know, art seminars, wine tastings, not so much the elf toss.

But it'll still be a family event.

I can't imagine the children attending a seminar.

Well, we're trying to bring this fair into the next century, you know,

a more sophisticated image.

And you're all good with that?

Carla's Winery, Carla's Rules.

Okay, let me tell you what's going to be on the catering menu.

I mean, what's she thinking?

Where's the fun?

Where's the magic?

It's not a Carla Kilgore's place this year, that's for sure.

Well, that's not a fair. It's a board meeting.

Yeah.

What if we bring the old Christmas magic here to Lockwood Crest?

Hashtag Lockwood wine tasting a ride.

Simon looks like a kid.

And look at those happy faces.

I haven't seen December numbers like this in years.

Just another step on the way to making Lockwood the destination winery we

about. Expanded website, social media accounts, mentions in online magazines.

It's all working.

There's no way a distributor won't come on board.

Have you tried those?

The cookies and the wine?

Cookies are just store -bought. They're nothing special.

They don't have to be.

What about an evening of cookie and wine pairing?

Would anyone actually come to that?

Of course they would.

Especially with the right cookies.

My grandmother's.

Those really fit Christmas to me.

Do you have the recipes?

No, but I know where to get them.

Okay. Cheers.

Okay, so we need all this done by lunchtime so I can get the kids on the

rehearse. Okay. Hey, Michael, could you grab me that big present? Okay, Mom.

Thanks, buddy.

Rick was going to help us paint the trees, but his wife needs them today.

It couldn't wait.

Well, I suppose he could, but she couldn't. They're having a baby.

Oh. Oh.

Oh, thank you.

I'll go hang up my outfit and see who else is here. Thank you.

Oh, you look great.

Hi. So festive.

Hi. Hello.

Was that Principal Garmichael? Yes. Yes, it was.

Some things never change, huh? Like me, directing this pageant. That's all I

have time for these days.

So what is all this? Is it Santa's workshop?

But we'll be with another coat of paint.

Michael?

Look who's here!

Michael! Hi, Andrew! Hi!

I'm sorry I haven't been able to see you yet. Your mom was telling the truth.

You are getting so tall.

Actually, I'm average for my age, but we're expecting a growth in a couple of

years.

Good to know.

Okay, off you go. Back to the present.

You know, if you guys need some help, I'm pretty good with a paintbrush.

Yes, please. That would be great.

Hey, Michael, can you please show Tyler what needs painting? He's going to help.

Okay. Yeah.

Thank you.

I was hoping we could chat, but you seem really busy.

No, please.

I could use the break. Yeah? Yeah.

Okay, kids, just keep doing what you're doing, just with more cheer.

Okay. Merry, merry.

Let's go.

So,

what's up? Okay, I'm working on an event, and I need some really great

cookie recipes.

I was thinking Grandma Sherman. Oh, they were the best.

Do I have those?

Oh, maybe I do have those.

In a box somewhere at home.

Oh, when do you need them by?

Tomorrow. I know you have so much going on. No, say no more. I should have about

an hour between this and the show, and if I can find them.

I will bring them tonight. Thank you. Very lifesaver. I can't wait to see it

come together.

Oh, it's so cute, isn't it?

Michael's so happy you're here.

Oh, that's not good. Joey, Joey, get down from that ladder.

Hey.

Yeah, careful.

There we go.

A little help? Not very easy to see.

Tyler, you are.

Doing great. Let's just put it over here by the window. Just follow my voice.

Oh, watch the chair.

There we go. The tree is gorgeous.

That's from a lot in town. It's not your tree farm, but I don't think it'll do.

I mean, the shape and the size, it really doesn't get much more perfect

this. Just imagine it with lights and ornaments.

The lights are here.

The ornaments are where?

In the garage.

You deal with that tangle, and I'll get the rest.

How I think that every year.

I put these away, neat little coils, and still, they come out like this.

It's a Christmas mystery, part of the fun.

Actually, one of the traditions I've been missing.

Oh, you missed this? Mm -hmm. Okay, if you say so, but this is one Christmas

tradition I'm willing to pass on.

What time's the show tonight?

Are you sure you don't mind going?

Of course not. I've got a big stake in this production.

Some of my finest painting is up on that stage, and I promised your nephew.

Michael's a great kid.

He really is.

My sister has it all. That family, the job she loves.

Here I thought I was the lucky one. Going to college and being so

Chasing my dreams.

Well, I mean, looks from here, look, you've got a mate.

What could be missing?

A relationship, eventually, and a career I can fall in love with.

So not marketing?

Marketing's the first thing that has felt like a good fit.

Do I want to do it forever?

I don't know.

Here's the first bunch.

Tyler, I just saw the mail truck pull up. Do you mind checking while Brooke

I start on these?

We didn't get very far.

All right, then.

To inform you.

Changing markets.

Evelyn, you have so many beautiful ornaments.

My husband was a collector.

Really? Yeah.

Oh.

This one has been on my tree every year since I married Tyler's father.

It was a Christmas wedding, did you know?

It's lovely.

Most all of these have stories to tell. Well, what about this one?

That is a family heirloom.

Tyler's grandfather painted that the very first year he had the vineyard. So

special.

Oh, no. Tyler, what's wrong?

Another distributor has rejected us.

And in the form letter, of all things.

It's not the end of the world.

Well, it might be the end of ours.

Carla's offer only extends until Christmas Eve. Either we accept it or we

foreclosure. And they get the property from the bank at a big discount.

Won't there be distributors at the fair? If they taste your wine, you never

know. Only the hosting winery can supply the wine.

It's one of the reasons that Carla took over the fair this year.

Okay, then we'll focus on online sales.

And for customers who visit, I have an idea for a sip and chip promotion.

They try it, they like it, we take it from there. The easier we make it for

them... Stop.

Please. I mean, fancy decorations and free shipping aren't going to save us

right now. We still have time to attract another distributor.

Or what do you suggest?

Selling out?

Giving up?

What other choice do we have?

Hey.

Hey. You okay?

Yeah, I'm good.

So I look out there, and I see myself at five or six, tagging along by my

grandfather, picking grapes in the summer heat.

My dad's nearby.

He's planting new vines.

Worrying about too much water, not enough.

Three generations.

Three generations of Lockwoods are counting on me, Brooke.

We will find a solution.

Yeah, but you can't promise that. No, I can't.

But I can try.

This place is everything to me.

It's all that I am. It's family.

Speaking of family, I have to get going for the pageant.

I'll tell Kelly and Michael, but you can't make it. No, no, no.

There's no way I'm missing that.

You still want to go? Yes, I promised Michael.

You were so good with kids.

I'm surprised you didn't settle down and have some of your own by now.

Well, if it happens, it happens.

I've got the winery, the vineyards.

So for now, at least, I think that's enough.

I don't know why enough has never been enough for me.

It just always feels like there's something better waiting.

Over the horizon, around the bend.

But you miss out on a lot of life that way, don't you?

Appreciate today.

That's what my grandfather taught me.

Then you just sort of let tomorrow take care of itself.

Smart man.

Yeah, so I guess now all I can do is trust that.

Oh, sure.

Frankie, Joey, come away from the curtain. Come on.

Okay. Everyone, come over. I need your attention.

Everyone, we're going to sit down.

All right. Thank you, everyone.

Okay. Principal Carmichael is playing pretend Santa this year, and we need

attention. Okay.

Okay. We went over your line this afternoon.

Does anybody have any questions?

Yes, sure. You have a question?

I don't remember my line. Oh, that's okay. Let me see. You walk up to Santa

you say, you want new wings for Christmas.

You want new... Oh, no, no, no. You say, I want new wings for Christmas.

I want new wings.

You want new wings too?

Ah, okay.

Magic of theater. Somehow it all magically comes together.

Hey,

I don't see Michael.

Oh, yeah, he's a little Christmas tree. He's right.

You do what you need to do here. We will find him, okay? Thank you.

Okay. So we're going to stay here, and we're going to be nice and quiet.

Michael? Is that you in there?

It's me.

I'm a tree.

Well, you better get out there, bud.

It's almost showtime.

I don't think I can do it.

Sure you can.

Do you remember what you're going to say? What you're going to ask Santa?

Yes. I want the star on top to shine all through Christmas.

It's dumb.

Hey, it's not dumb. It's a great line. It's for the audience anyway.

They're going to eat it up.

Santa's depending on you.

You know that's not really Santa, right?

Right, because the real Santa is getting ready for Christmas Eve.

Do we need to have a talk?

Michael, you're an actor.

Your job is to convince the audience that that Santa is the real deal.

That won't be easy.

Everybody knows Principal Carmichael. The most important thing is that you

in your heart that everything will work out if you believe in yourself.

Do you think you can do that?

Yes. Maybe if I improvise a little.

Thanks, Aunt Brooke.

Wow.

You ever think about coaching football? You're a natural.

Not really anything else.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Merry Christmas, little angel.

Do you know what Santa wonders?

He wonders what you want under your tree this year.

Most of all, you want... I want new wings for Christmas.

Oh, that is a good wish.

We'll see what Santa can do about that.

There you are, dear. Take them out.

Christmas tree. What do you want from Santa this year? I would like a star on

top up here to shine all through Christmas and to light up the whole

Engine man, take a bow.

You were fantastic.

Thanks to you two and whatever you said to get him out there.

There's my son, the best tree I ever saw.

Oh, thank you.

Brooke, Grandma's recipe.

Thank you.

Do we still need those?

Absolutely. We stick with the plan, only bigger.

We spread the word and invite the world.

Season for miracles, right? And look, all in Grandma's own handwriting.

The gingerbread men.

Oh, the peppermint.

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you. You're welcome.

I got wings!

I got wings!

I got wings!

I got wings! I got wings! I got wings! I got wings! I got wings!

I got wings! I got wings! Energy.

Well done.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

Santa here at Lockwood Family Crest Wines, hoping that you will all come by

tomorrow night for a very special, one -of -a -kind event. You can ask Santa's

elf. This time of year, there's nothing the big guy likes more than cookies. And

what goes better with cookies than Lockwood Crest Family Wine?

You see, I... Guys, I'm sorry. We've got to stop for a second. Brooke, I... Keep

going. You're doing great.

Adorable, both of you. Like a Christmas card.

Well, now I know how Michael felt in his tree costume.

Tyler, this is a family business. You're the face of it.

Carla's company cannot compete with a personal touch like this. And the big

distributors in Portland and Seattle will eat this up.

I'm serious.

Okay, okay.

It's kind of hard to take you seriously in this getup, you know? I told you.

Christmas really brings out the elf in me.

Literally this year.

The elf has a point. And not just her ears.

You're spreading Christmas cheer.

Yeah, so keep spreading it.

Okay, ready?

Action! I'm sorry?

That's your job?

Yep. Won't happen again.

Glad to hear.

Ho, ho, ho, ho!

Merry Christmas!

This is Santa, saying stop by Lockwood Family Winery for cookies and wine this

Christmas for a very special family event.

Then we mix in the dry ingredients.

And before you know it, voila.

We've got dough.

Doesn't it bring back so many memories? All that time with Grandma and the

farmhouse kitchen.

All right, who wants to roll them out?

Oops. Have rolling pin? We'll roll. Excellent. Oven at 375.

That is me.

Check. Can I taste?

Oh, not until we're done, buddy. But what you can do is be on cookie cutter

duty. Pick whichever one you like.

I like the reindeer.

Oh, excellent choice.

Anything I can do when I'm done here?

Please, you've done enough. I mean, if anybody doesn't know about this event by

now, they're just not paying attention.

And I personally contacted every distributor on the coast.

Okay, so 12 more trays of these, and we should be all set.

Winemaker, author, baker.

Is there no end to your talent?

Ah.

We have more than enough cookies to decorate.

And then can I taste?

And then you can taste.

Even Santa and his elves couldn't get this many done in time for tonight.

Hey, come on. Where's that Christmas spirit that you're so famous for?

Pass me the green icing, would you? Oh, do you mean this green?

Are you sure you don't want to try some?

Do not start something you can't finish. All right, you two. You are setting a

bad example for the CHILD.

I can just tell you now.

Okay, okay.

Back to work, people.

A lot of things to do. A few dozen more like that and we're done.

It's a classic pairing. So decadent and so good.

Mmm, very tasty.

Here you are, Gary.

Try the merlot and chocolate chip.

You're not going to believe how well this goes together.

These cookies.

It's a family recipe.

We baked them ourselves.

Delicious. So now you know where Michael and I were all day.

That's time well spent, I'd say.

Santa's jam -filled thumbprint cookies.

and the Lockwood Crest Pinot Noir. Oh, delicious.

That's a pinot, you say?

Ours is a dry red. You'll appreciate the fruit -forward character with notes of

plum and black cherry. Very complex, lasting aromas on the finish.

It's really one of my favorites. This is a perfect event, Brooke, and such a

nice turnout, considering.

Considering? The ice storm over the mountains.

You didn't hear?

So no one can get here from the coast.

All of the passes are closed. I had a friend driving in from Portland.

I so wanted you two to meet. I know he would have loved this.

The storm stopped all of the major distributors from getting here. I know,

think of everyone who did make it. They'll spread the word. The grassroots

campaign. All it takes is one right word and one right ear.

Did you get all the information tonight?

Fruit forward, notes of black cherries.

Oh, you noticed that, did you? Yeah.

That was from your book.

You should read it sometime.

She seemed right at home.

Every word.

We're a good fit, mine and I.

Who would have guessed?

There's something really appealing about the business.

Just the business?

Well, the co -workers are pretty attractive, too, so that's a plus.

Yeah, now that you mention it.

My mom is quite the knockout.

Hey, look, it's snowing.

Was that in the forecast?

No.

It's only supposed to be up in the mountains.

Reminds me of my sophomore year when it snowed the night of winter prom.

I was there.

What was the theme again?

Snowfall. Snowfall.

Not a flake in the forecast all week, and then midnight rolled around, the

was playing, and there it was.

Like magic.

It sort of feels like magic all over again.

Or is that just me?

I love this time of the...

This is one of Tyler's grandfather's notebooks.

He kept track of everything.

Weather, soil conditions, pruning schedules.

I just remember him writing and writing and writing at the kitchen table when I

was a kid.

I haven't looked at these in years.

Here's an original sketch of the chapel. Oh, wow.

So artistic.

He would have loved you, Brooke.

Yeah,

there could be something in here we could use as promotion.

Some family history that might give us a hook.

Would you mind if I read it?

Not at all. If there's something to be had, have at it. Great.

Anything interesting in there?

Maybe something about a buried treasure?

When did that come in handy right about now?

This is really the treasure in and of itself.

New varieties, new blends, storage.

It's basically the entire Lockwood family crest history.

Yeah, well, keep reading. I'm holding out for a map to gold bars in the back

Hello

there.

Hey, are you busy?

Hi, never for you.

Because Lockwood said I would find you out here.

What is this chemistry experiment? I'm playing around with some of Tyler's

grandfather's old recipes he never got around to. Really interesting blends in

there. It's not as hard as it looks. It's actually kind of fun.

Anyone can follow the recipes.

What are you doing out here?

Well, now that the play is done, I have time to spend with my sister.

And Michael made you this.

You are his favorite aunt, you know. I'm his only aunt.

So cute.

I just need a refrigerator and a magnet.

Thank you. I love it.

You look awfully at home behind this bar here.

Oh, yeah?

What'll it be?

What are you pouring?

If you're serious.

Try this.

Ooh.

Okay.

This is delicious. Good, right? Is this one of these blends? Yeah, most of them

are nothing special, but there's something about this one. Yeah, I agree.

What did Tyler think?

I haven't told him yet.

I wanted to surprise him with it.

Do you have a crush on him?

This is excellent.

We should drink to this. We should.

3A, anyone?

Cheers.

Isn't this the Sherman Sisters Christmas card?

Oh, we were just talking about you.

You know what I think?

We should all get together.

Maybe it'll make up for the fair.

The Christmas fair? What do you mean?

Yeah, what about it?

It was canceled this morning.

Something about Kilgore Winery's new expansion not passing city inspection.

You don't know. She just called it off. Couldn't she do that?

It's her valley these days.

The rest of us, I guess, just live in it.

She didn't grow up here.

She doesn't understand what this fair means to us. I mean, it's been a part of

our Christmas every year since we were kids.

I know. The whole town's upset.

At least everyone I've talked to, but what can we do?

We can move it out here.

Brooke, I don't... I'm serious. We move it out here, and we make it the fair we

remember. Right, but an event of that size takes city approvals, and with only

two days, I'm afraid there's just not enough time. No, maybe there is.

I know all of those officials. I've taught their kids, and they were relying

the fair, too. Can you make some calls?

I can.

Guys, with everything going on right now, I'm just not sure that this should

our focus. This should absolutely be the focus. What better way to attract a

national distributor?

The excitement, the energy. If we move the fair here, we are the host. And if

are the host, we supply the wine. And if we supply the wine, the wine will be

Lockwood Family Craft.

What better promotion?

Let's make those calls.

Thank you all for showing up on such short notice.

Hey, look, the fair's off. Don't we all have better things to do?

Well, it's only off because you didn't pass inspection.

Tyler, you know about building permits? One little thing?

Half a dozen little things is what we hear.

Either way, I don't have time to get them fixed.

I'm disappointed, too.

I know. And that's why we're suggesting, Tyler and I, that we host the fair.

Move it out to Lockwood Family Crest.

Why didn't we think of that?

The whole community is looking forward to it, and my friend can finally meet

you. Wait, that's too late.

You still have to get approval from the city. Yes, actually.

We're all set.

So, we could cancel the fair for the first time in 50 years.

Or we could spread the word and let people know that we're moving it down

road a few miles.

And we can make it the fair we all remember. All the events, all the family

We can really bring Christmas back to the Valley.

Isn't it worth a vote? Not so fast. As chair, I'm the only one who could do

that. Well, then I move that you do that.

Okay, then.

Provided the papers are in order. Oh, they are.

Who all is in favor of moving the venue to the Lockwood Founding Crest?

We got the fare, and everyone seems happy about it.

Still a lot of work to do.

Yes, but so much of it has already been arranged.

All we have to do is call the band, reroute deliveries, and focus on

back the fun of it.

Photos of Anna, candy making.

Oh, the stuffed elf toss?

Obviously.

Hey, do you have time for, you know, one more stop before we go back home?

One last tradition?

Who is yours?

Something I want to share with you.

Hey, come on, keep up.

Okay,

let's remember that this is your idea, and I don't get a lot of snowshoe

practice in Seattle.

It's the only way to get to where we're going.

Left, right, left, right.

Oh, wow.

Is it you?

Is this what you wanted to show me?

Mm -hmm.

It's the entire valley.

I try to get out here at least once a season.

Until now, I really wasn't sure which one would be my favorite.

Which is it?

Oh, definitely winter.

This winter.

I can see everything down there.

The town, the vineyards.

My whole childhood's down there.

Thank you for showing me this.

It's my pleasure.

I honestly can't remember enjoying a Christmas as much as this one.

You know I go back to Seattle after the fair, right?

Is that certain?

It's my life.

Your life is here, too. In that valley.

Your friends, your family.

And you said it yourself.

You're looking for a place that fits.

A job, a relationship.

Brooke, you are the most incredible woman I have ever met.

I don't want to give you the wrong impression.

Timing's not right.

Oh, are you sure? I mean, that kiss sort of tells me that... Come on, we have so

much work ahead of us. We need to focus.

You're not helping.

And I'm distracting.

Okay, this is good. Excellent. Stop stalling. I'm serious.

We have to get back and set things in motion.

Okay. We will go.

Okay.

Sharing this?

I won't forget it.

One more question, though.

Is there an easier way back?

Oh, God.

Skis or a tube?

Taxi, maybe?

No. Oh, Robert, I love that. Let's get that right by the entrance, okay? And

we're going to move the food station closer to the vineyard, so just check

the site map I gave you when you get a chance.

Tony, that looks amazing.

Let's make sure we get the ornaments going up this way, too, all right? I'm

seeing a few gaps in there.

Everybody, you're doing a great job. I'm loving it.

The dining tables are all set up in the aging room. I cannot wait to see it all

lit up with the chandeliers.

The clockwork family crest is going out. We're going out with a bang.

So listen, Mom's just waiting back at the house. We're supposed to select our

featured wine. We've got our choices down to about three. Great.

Do you want to come by, join us, weigh in? Yeah, I'd love to. Awesome.

Anything else I can do before I go? Oh, do the elves arrive?

Elves? For the holiday elf toss. Don't worry, they're beanbags. They don't eat

much. Will you help me track them down?

Will do.

But then we're tasting, yeah? Good.

Ten minutes? I'll be there. All right. Okay.

So we need to make a strong impression tomorrow night, and we could use another

opinion. We'd love to know what you think, Brooke. Seriously?

What is this, a final exam or something? Something like that.

Go for it.

Nice body.

It's dry, crisp, not overpowering.

Nice acidity. Spot on.

I'm not sure about the tannins, though. A little bitter, maybe.

Mm.

Oh, great aroma.

Nice texture.

Oaky. I like that.

Earthy, too. That's good, right?

Depending on the wine, yeah.

For this one, it's very good.

What about this last one?

This is very complex.

It starts with fruity undertones and then smoky overtones.

I'm getting a hint of gummy bear.

What?

She's right.

Gummy bears.

I think that might be my favorite. I agree.

Of these, that would be my choice as well. Tyler?

Yeah? Yeah, it's good. I mean, they're all good. With Carla and her friends

here, we need to be sure that we completely knock this out of the park.

In that case, I might be overstepping, but...

Do you guys mind if I suggest one?

A different one?

All of our best options are right here, Brooke.

Is it one of our ones?

Sort of. It's a blend I made. That you made?

I had help from a new friend.

Thinking we could call it a Christmas Bordeaux. A Christmas wine.

Very interesting.

This could be the key to the future. A new product.

Something to build a whole campaign around.

I started to sketch a new label.

It's rough, but I think you'll like it.

Why would we change our label?

Well, most people buy the artwork, not the wine.

Oh, that's colorful. It must be good.

The old label is beautiful.

My grandfather designed that label.

It's part of our brand and it's our history. And this keeps with your family

tradition and incorporates the old label plus the sketch of the chapel your

grandfather designed.

The chapel.

That's something.

No. I mean, there's enough changing around here already, isn't there? Tyler,

trust me. This could be the big idea we've been looking for. A launching pad

a whole series of holiday wines.

Taste it, Tyler.

I'm not going to taste it, Mom.

It's a blend.

Our reputation is on the line, and a blend is not going to cut it.

That's a little harsh, don't you think?

You don't know the business specifically, Brooke.

And you don't know our family like we do.

It's not your fight.

You're right.

Absolutely right.

What was I thinking?

I...

I didn't mean it like that.

It's a really great blend, you know.

And you wouldn't even try it.

It's your grandfather's. He left it for you.

He even called it Tyler's blend.

What?

Tyler's blend.

It's in his notes.

It's Christmas Eve.

What if your grandfather just handed us the miracle we've been waiting for?

Is that the North Pole? Yeah. Great. I'll meet you outside and show you where

goes, okay?

Wait, I... Brooke.

I'll finish this up.

But after the fair, that's it.

I've done what I can do.

How'd it go?

Not perfect.

i'm not surprised given your attitude you really should try this

That's not bad.

That's really good.

Good? It's sensational.

Why would she go through all this trouble?

You have to ask?

You know everything about wine, but nothing about women.

I don't know.

However this goes, I'm finishing up and heading back.

Right after the fair tomorrow.

I know it'll be late, but I just want to get home.

Well, yeah, it's been great, but... This is Tyler's life.

Not mine.

Well, I made it pretty clear I don't belong.

Merry Christmas to you, too, sis.

And to Scott and Michael.

I love you guys so much.

Okay?

Toss the L's and win a prize.

Check out the lady, folks.

The one -time champion defending her record. Jack, you're making me blush.

All right, I'll bite.

Still close.

Not close enough.

Oh, you think you can do better?

Step back, sis.

Watch and learn.

Okay, here we go.

The winner and new champion!

Aw.

Yay! Thank you.

There's always next year, sis.

Guess I really didn't know who I was dealing with.

Everything I remember. Everything I've been missing.

You guys, get out there. You gotta enjoy the fair.

Okay, I'll see you later. Have fun. I love you.

See ya.

Brooke, this is very impressive.

The whole town is out here enjoying what you've done here. Thank you.

That means a lot to me. I just... I wanted to share the kind of Christmas I

up with as a kid. Well, you had some kind of childhood.

Not like the one I had, which I'd had yours.

Anyway, um... If you ever decide to go into the wine business full -time, let

know.

You call me.

You would make a wonderful addition to my team.

Think about it.

Hey. Hey.

What does she want now?

Carla thinks I should go into the wine business.

After what I've seen these past two weeks, she may be right.

Listen, Brooke, I'm sorry I overreacted.

And if this wasn't so important to me, I'm sure I would have... No apology

needed. I really do understand.

I know your life isn't here.

But I'd be lying to you if I said that this time we've spent together has been

anything but great.

What do you say?

You up for a photo?

You know, maybe a little something to remember this by?

Oh, I don't think I'm going to be forgetting this any time soon.

Me neither, but, you know, it'll be fun.

Oh, well, look at you two.

Don't forget to leave some cookies out and some wine to go with them.

All right, let's get some Christmas smiles.

Here's the camera.

We seem different tonight.

Relaxed or something.

Well, you have to go home, but, you know, I get that.

Doesn't mean we can't enjoy the time we have left.

Brooke, no matter what happens between us going forward, you brought Christmas

back.

For me, for Mom,

I just need so much more than you know.

Heather, I'm not ready to give up.

We've come so far.

If we just had a little more time.

It's Christmas Eve.

There is no more time.

We take Carla's offer tonight or we risk losing everything.

Afraid it is what it is.

care of this event i just want to wish you all a merry christmas and thank you

so much for coming oh and big thank you to lockwood family crest for lending us

at the last minute this wonderful winery thank you you know

it's proof that good things can come in very small packages good things can also

come in very big packages like tilgore wines

We are pleased to announce that we are going to continue to expand into the

coming year so we can continue to support those of you who are struggling

make ends meet.

And we may even have an announcement at midnight tonight.

But we should hear from our host, Tyler Lockwood. Would you like to say a few

words?

Thank you.

Thank you all.

Now, I can't even begin to put into words what an evening like this means to

Lockwood Family Crest Wines as well.

Celebrating the season with our family, our dear friends, all of you lovely

neighbors. And we all know how hard it is for a modest winery like ours to

survive, let alone to succeed nowadays.

And so, like all of you, it is our duty and privilege to do whatever it takes

To adapt.

So from the bottom of my heart, folks, thank you so much. Thank you.

This night is for you.

Now drink up. Wine is on the house.

You used my blend and the label.

Yeah. Andy bothers working overtime.

So you were right, bro.

What's wrong?

I should probably tattoo that somewhere now.

Probably.

Tyler, set aside a bottle of that new blend for us for our New Year's party.

Kelly, are you kidding? It's on the house. Thank you. Of course.

Love you. Love you.

Bye. So cute.

I gotta hand it to you, Tyler.

This new blend is gonna make a very nice addition to my catalog.

Uh -oh.

Look at the time.

What's your decision?

Do you want to sell?

Or should I just...

Deal with the bank come spring.

There you are.

I'm so sorry to interrupt, but my friend wants to meet you. The one who couldn't

make the wine pairing because of the storm?

Vince Talbot.

Tyler Lockwood. Welcome. Vince Talbot from Portland.

You're a distributor.

One of the biggest.

You are the friend Lila wanted to meet.

Yes. Mr. Talbot.

Charlie Kilgore. You and I have traded calls for the past few weeks. Yes, we

have.

But I'm here to see Mr. Lockwood.

I'll leave you all to talk.

I saw this answer commercial.

And like Lila said, I couldn't make the cookie pairing.

But I was hoping we might connect here tonight.

We're all really glad that you came.

The commercial, in fact, was Brooke's. That was yours.

It was. Very smart.

I love the family angle. Thank you.

Word around the industry is that you've lost your distribution deal.

We can fix that. You want to work with us?

No. Would you be open to discussing that? Is tomorrow soon enough?

Tomorrow's Christmas. Yeah.

Day after. If you can guarantee us at least 800 cases of that Christmas blend

for next year, I think you've found a product that might just relaunch your

winery.

And from there?

And from there? Oh, and from there we go national.

Guy's the limit.

Call me.

Okay.

I think I've got your answer right here.

Talbot is a great businessman.

And if this works out for you, well, congratulations.

It almost sounds like you mean that. Well, I've always said that this

big enough for everyone.

I don't remember you ever saying that. Well, I'm saying it now.

It's almost like we're a big family.

Family's everything, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

I wish you didn't have to leave, especially Christmas Eve. I know, but

gone long enough and there's so much work waiting for me.

A promotion, new account.

Thank you both so much for the past few weeks.

You can't go.

Before opening this.

It's from both of us.

I didn't get you anything.

You gave us our winery.

We couldn't have asked Santa for a better gift.

Just a little something to remember us by.

Your grandfather's ornament.

I could not possibly accept this.

You like it or not, we're family now.

is a treasure.

Really, thank you. You have no idea how much I love that.

Merry Christmas, dear.

This place isn't going to feel the same without you. You gave me a Christmas I

will never forget.

I mean it.

Not a flake in the forecast.

How about that?

It's like magic again.

All my life, I felt like something's missing.

Coming here made me realize what it is.

Work I love.

This feeling of family.

Love. And?

Isn't it obvious?

This is where I belong.

Merry Christmas to me.

Merry Christmas to us.

For a car collector, you have a lot of sleigh. I'd heard rumors about a car

had been used to deliver toys.

Christmas. It really was like Santa's sleigh.

Tomorrow. Toy drive.

Maybe I should do it again. To revive a holiday tradition.

Why don't we do it?

We? Put the keys in the ignition.

You got that list?

Checked it twice.

He is Sir Car.

Michael Xavier.

Christmas on Wheels.

Premieres tomorrow at 8.
