Piper: Are you sure this is the place?

Andi: Piper, the car service has the exact address.

I even made him repeat it to me three times,

and he complained every time! So if he got it wrong,

let me know and I will make him cry!

Andi, Andi, Andi. Relax. This is the place.

Okay, today's talking points. As of this phone call...

"Piper's Top Picks" has officially launched

twenty-six best selling campaigns.

(Andi:) Oh, Rawlings sends a personal thank you by the way.

Today you're all smiles

because you're announcing your very first

Christmas cookbook as an author.

(Andi:) "Christmas with Grammy Rose"! Yay! Big smiles!

So what do you see? What's your angle?

Well, looking around, I'm leaning toward

'small town girl makes it big'.

Piper: I can sell a million of these units by Christmas

if these yokels think I'm like them.

Hi! Sorry! I didn't mean you.

I totally meant her.

Ah, small town girl. I like it.

But what if they ask about parents?

Talk about Mom, pivot to Grammy. Dad does not have to come up.

Grammy would be so proud.

Aw, I'm sure she would. But I'll wait until next Thursday

to get sentimental once there's time.

Put that on my calendar.

Piper: Okay, Andi. I think they'll need me soon.

Hey, if my chair smells like your perfume

by the time I'm back, you're fired.

What? I'm not even in your office.

I did not believe it the last time,

and I don't believe it now. Love you!

Whoa!

I am so sorry. It looks nice though.

Thanks, but I already accessorized this morning.

Announcement: Tim Swan to set please.

Oh no.

What's wrong?

They're calling for me and I'm nervous.

I don't do this sort of thing.

Well what are you here for?

Not to brag, but I own a failing Christmas Village in town.

Here, push your hair out of your eyes.

They're nice. People will be more sympathetic.

Ah, lose this tie. You're not applying

for a management position at a family restaurant.

And here. It's Christmas time.

The scarf will let people think they can trust you.

But they can trust me.

Well, that's the spirit.

Announcement: Someone please send Tim Swan to set.

Oh, if you think you're going to throw up, just smile.

Nina: Hey everyone. Don't worry about it!

The host will wrangle the guest!

All the big talk show hosts do this. Right?

Thank you!

(Clapping and Cheering)

Good morning and welcome to Christmas Country Cheer.

I'm your host Nina here with your cohost Maria.

And this week we're in Winter Ridge, featuring local people,

showing you how they spread their own brand of

Christmas Country Cheer!

Winter Ridge style! I can't wait, Nina!

Our first guest today is North Pole Christmas Village owner

Timothy Swan!

Hey, welcome, Tim!

(Audience Clapping)

Good to see you.

Nina: Have a seat.

Tim, your Christmas Village must be a hub of excitement

this time of year. -Yeah.

Uh...

(Audience Laughing)

Now the notes say you want to tell us a funny elf story?

That's an easy slide.

(Audience Laughing)

Tim?

I'm sorry what?

(Laughing) What is it with Mondays, guys!

(Audience Laughing on TV)

No, sorry.

( Dog Barking )

Bad news! Bail now?!

(Dog Barks) Piper: What's up?

You need to abort! Get out!

(Dog Barks) (Smashing Sound)

Oh goodness. Looks like someone made a friend!

(Dog Barks)

My friends don't knock my phone out of my hands and break it.

Can't you control that beast?

-Archie. -What?

That's his name. Archie. (Dog Barks)

No no no no no. You're not hearing the part

that I care about.

Give me your phone.

Now. It's an emergency.

I'm so sorry, I never bring mine with me.

Archie tends to knock it out of my hand.

Three so far this year, actually.

Oh, only three?

Nina: So Tim, I understand you are the owner and operator

of the North Pole Christmas Village theme park here in town.

Does this mean you've got the inside scoop with Santa?

(Audience Laughing)

That would be a big yes.

You know you remind me of one of those bobbing dolls' heads!

(Audience Laughing)

Would you care to expand on that?

My kids have one of those dolls.

(Everyone Laughing)

I meant Santa. Let's talk about Santa.

Nice. Nice, nice big guy.

(Audience Laughing)

Tis the season! (Laughs)

I hope he's better at running his theme park than he is on TV.

He definitely has a face for television though.

I wonder if he likes dogs.

Hmmm.

Fifty bucks says he faints.

You want in on that action?

That's our dad.

Oh, of course he is.

So what is it that you do?

I own a public relations company that represents literary works.

-Oh. -What does that mean?

It means that I help people make books

that other people want to buy, so they can get rich.

Could you make a book for my dad?

(Laughs) I don't know if I'm that good, kid.

Are you married?

Is that the first question you ask everybody?

Do you like marshmallows?

And that's the second. Ah, why don't you switch

those two around. Open with the marshmallows. It's friendlier.

See? I told you everybody likes marshmallows.

I like your style.

Here's five bucks. Go buy yourself some marshmallows.

Oh, but ask your dad first.

Assistant: Ms. Jansen. We're ready for you.

Oh.

I have a great idea! Let's bring out our next guest.

She puts the PR in promoting. Her company "Piper's Pick's"

has helped authors sell millions of books. But today she's here

to promote her very own, brand new Christmas cookbook,

"Christmas with Grammy Rose".

And to save this show!

(Both Laugh) Piper Jansen!

(Clapping and Cheering)

-Hi. -Hi.

So great to have you here.

-Hi. -Hi!

(Piper Whispering) Yeah, sit right there.

Piper! Thank you so much for being here, for coming

all the way from Madison Avenue in New York City to see us.

And especially this time of year!

Oh! Thank you so much for having me. I'm a huge fan!

She helped me not, ah....

Not important.

So! I understand your new cookbook

has some personal significance for you?

It does! You know, I just love Christmas. Right?

Me too! Uh huh!

I mean, what's not to love? The family, the warmth!

And in my house we always knew it was Christmas time

when we could smell my Grammy Rose's sweet potato and

marshmallow pie. Mmmmm.

And who doesn't love marshmallows!

Exactly. So when I wanted to do a holiday book,

I knew the exact ingredient it needed to become

a Piper's Top Pick... my Grammy Rose's original recipes.

I'm surprised you're saying 'original'

with all the allegations.

Allegations?

This morning, Brock Shepard from

Cubbie's Old Fashioned Cakes, is claiming that you

stole all the recipes from his bakery and his new cookbook.

How do you respond?

(Audience Ohs and Ahs)

Oh, well, ummm. (clears her throat) I, I know Brock.

I fired him several years ago.

So you're saying this is a vengeance move? MMmmmmm! Juicy!!

No, not so sure about that. This is the first I'm hearing

of this news, but I can assure you that these recipes have been

in my family for generations. There was no stealing involved.

(Audience Polite Clapping)

Looks like someone could use a little PR of their own.

The plot gets thicker.

Well, our time here is almost up. Thanks to everyone

who joined us today and...

Oh wait!

Um, I did not even get a chance to talk about

the real reason why I am here today.

-Really? -Oh.

(Audience Clapping)

Uh huh, yeah. You see, I received an email

a few weeks back, from these two little kids.

And I'd like to read that for you both, if I may.

-Please. - Yeah, of course.

Okay.

(Big Sigh)

Dear Piper. I'm sure you probably have

millions of people requesting your help right now.

But we are from a small town called Winter Ridge.

Our dad owns a place called the North Pole Christmas Village.

(Audience Gasps)

What?

It's not doing so well right now. And it sure would be

awesome if you could come in and helps us create

a "Piper's Top Pick" book about our little theme park

and help our dad. We don't have any money, but with

Christmas just around the corner, we thought that maybe

you could give us... a Christmas miracle.

-Oh my gosh. -That is the sweetest thing.

(Audience Ohing and Awwing)

My kids sent you that?

They sure did! So folks, I'm here today

because I'm actually going to help you

create the very next "Piper's Top Pick" book, free of charge!

(Laughing) Wow! -That's amazing!

Nina: That's a touching story!

-That's gorgeous! -What do you think Tim?

I, I don't know what to say?

Piper, you might be the sweetest guest we've ever had!

Certainly a walking miracle.

Ah, stop! Stop!

(Barking) I'll say!

And on top of that, this young lady right here

wants to adopt Archie!

(Clapping and Cheering)

Oh! (Laughs) Do I?

(Whispers) You're not the only one who knows

how to spin things, Sweetie.

Someone is just overflowing with Christmas Country cheer!

Well, you know Nina, that's me! (Laughs)

Dog loving, Christmas Country cheer flowing, Piper. (Laughs)

I do respect your game.

-When? - Oh, when what?

When did my kids send you the email?

Oh that's right, your kids. You know... (Music starts)

Unfortunately we're out of time today. I'm Nina saying,

Keep it Cheery!

(Music) (Audience Clapping and Cheering)

Sorry, but all's fair in dogs and war.

No, you don't understand, I don't live here.

I can't adopt this dog.

Alright. I guess I'll just have to come back on the show

tomorrow and tell them how sad I was that you only pretended to

adopt Archie so you could make yourself look better.

Oh, you are good.

That's what we in the adoption business call checkmate.

Oh, you're gonna need those.

See ya!

-Hey -Oh!

You left before I could say thank you.

So how does this work? Do I have to write the book?

Because I'm a little bit worried I'd be worse at that

than I am at doing interviews.

(Chuckles) I'll figure something out.

Cool! So maybe you could come by and check out the place?

Figure out how to get started?

Sure. Ah, I'm kind of stuck here at the moment though.

Have ever owned a dog?

No.

(They both Chuckle)

Kids! Take the dog for Miss...

I just realized I don't know your name.

Piper. Piper Jansen.

Well, let's take Piper's dog for a walk. We'll get some food,

a couple of treats for this fella, and, ah,

you can get settled in here.

Great, thank you. Is there a cell phone store in town?

(Busker Singing) ♪ Deck the halls with boughs of holly ♪

♪ Fa la la la la la la la ♪

♪ Fa la la la la la la la ♪

You're pretty good.

Thank you.

Do you have a card?

No. It's a good idea though. Um, I'm here every morning!

-Keep it up! -Thanks very much.

(cell phone ringing)

What happened?

Sorry. I tried to warn you, it looks like Cubbie's

is saying you stole their recipes.

That's insane. Those are Grammy's recipes.

Get him on the line.

Already dialing. (dialing beeps)

How many times do I have to deal with this bottom-feeding jerk...

Hey Pippy! Saw you on TV.

Looks like you are having some delicious Christmas cookies.

Good for you!

Do we go back and forth for a bit

or do we just get right to it?

What can I say Pip Pip?

You Straight up bootlegged those recipes.

and my lawyer bros are killing your book as we speak.

Piper: Well bring it on Brock,

because I got these recipes personally

from my great grandmother.

Andi, take a photo of the handwritten recipes

and have our lawyers send a cease and desist letter to...

(cell beep) Um...

Andi? What?

They just sent us theirs. And it says you stole them.

(Cackling Laugh) I wish I could see that pout right now, P.J.

That would be the best Christmas present ever!

Andi, hang up on him.

Yeah, ooouuu! (cell beep)

(Cackling Laughter)

Okay. This is fixable. I mean, I have no clue how,

but it is.

Hold the book.

Are, are you sure?

I mean the publisher's not going to be crazy about...

Piper: Call in a favor.

If people believe Brock, I'll lose my credibility

and it would ruin me. I need some time to figure this out.

I'll stay here, work on this fluff piece,

get everyone feeling Christmasy so they forget about

Brock's garbage and that will buy us some time

to understand what's going on here.

The publisher will thank me.

You sure?

Piper: One hundred percent.

Andi, I need you to contact our lawyer and have her go over

Brock's cease and desist. Ask her if it's for real,

if there are any loopholes. Just get her whole

opinion on the situation, okay. And then Andi, I need you to

figure out how Brock got access to Grammy's recipes.

I mean maybe his family has some connection to her

that we don't know about. Oh wow, I hope not.

Okay. You are the queen. I'll work this end.

All night if I have to.

Thanks sis.

Right after you call the lawyer

can you book me a place to stay here?

Andi: Yeah. No problem.

Oh, and I'll send you a bag with some clothes and makeup

and everything else you need.

Piper: Thank you. You're the best.

I really do not want to have to go shopping here.

(Dog Barks and Kids Laughing)

So... Neither of you actually sent the e-mail?

-Nope. -E-mails are for old people.

(Chuckles) That doesn't make any sense.

(Dog Barks)

Hey! You made it.

Look before we get into all this, I was just asking my kids,

and it doesn't seem like either one of them sent you an e-mail.

Is it poss... -There was no e-mail.

I've done enough of those shows to know that someone like Nina

is always looking for a sound byte she can use to ruin me.

I had to be quick on my feet and make a call.

Oh.

Now you can either call me a liar,

and send me on my merry way because you can't get over it.

Or you can accept the fact it was just a little white lie,

and the good definitely outweighs the bad

for the sake of your business

because you now have someone on board

who you'd never be able to afford in your wildest dreams,

to help fix your theme park.

(Chuckles) Wow. That certainly was honest of you.

I mean about you being dishonest.

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

You say 'thank you' and we get started.

No more lies moving forward. Agreed?

Don't expect me to tell you the place looks nice.

The snowman's good though. We can keep that.

Well, what do you think?

This is the theatre?

(Dog Barks) Piper: Who could tell?

Tim: It's a big hit with the parents and kids.

Why wouldn't it be a big hit? If we get a good act.

You don't have an act?

We have a reindeer.

Okay, he's pretty cute.

I puted on his bowtie.

Does um... That affect the experience?

It could be part of a nice experience

without that bit of extra stuff around.

Piper: Have you considered moving

that giant stash of extra stuff?

Well storage is full and you got to keep it somewhere, right?

You never know when you're going to need it.

I think it's safe to say you're never going to need that.

Are there any charities in the area?

Of course. Why do you ask?

(Dog Barks)

♪

Are those sheep on your home page?

(Laughs) You mean the goats.

Right. I always thought reindeer for pulling the sleigh.

Reindeer equal Christmas, right?

Yeah but goats plus Christmas decorations

equal Christmas goats. Who doesn't want goats?

They're smart, friendly, and believe it or not

highly entertaining. My kids love them.

And besides that, they help clear the land,

their milk is delicious... Do I really need to go on?

I guess not.

We couldn't get any reindeer sent down from the North Pole.

So... They were all too busy helping Santa.

Well at least Santa sent you fresh snow

and decent looking trees for the background.

See! I told you the website wasn't all 1992.

Tim: Yeah, but. Okay. That, that page isn't too great.

Same with that one.

Yeah, that one too.

Okay.

♪

This is actually my favorite attraction.

The kids just love feeding the Christmas goats.

Do they love it more when there are actual goats?

(Sweeping)

They do. Yes.

Sadly, Paige left the gate open

and the goats went out to graze in the woods. And, um...

They preferred freedom?

It sure seems like it.

We see them all the time. Leave their food out for them.

But, um, just can't catch them.

And this young man?

Oh that's Hank. He looks after the goats.

You can probably find something else to do today Hank!

Gotcha Tim.

Shall we?

See you Hank.

Piper: So what time do you open?

About four hours ago.

I see.

Tim, let me ask you something.

Of course. Ask me anything.

Why on Earth did you buy this place?

I guess I thought it would be cool

to raise my kids somewhere magical. You know?

My favorite thing about Christmas is it was the only day

of the year I'd always see everyone happy.

There's no fighting, no being rude. Just genuine happiness.

So I figured, why not give my kids Christmas every day?

(Kids Laughing and Dog Barking)

Sorry about that.

(Piper Laughs Nervously)

My wife died when they were really young.

And ever since they started watching Christmas movies

they think I need a wife.

I'm so sorry. I didn't realize.

Thanks. Working as an architectural engineer

was a great job but they had me working long hours,

and commuting even longer hours.

Paige and Declan were growing up and I wasn't able to see it.

So, I needed a change. And a big one.

So when you saw this place...

I jumped. (Chuckles) It's just too bad

I didn't do some more thinking before the jump.

(Piper Chuckles)

What about you?

What about me?

What's your favorite thing about Christmas?

Um, when it's over?

What? How can you not like Christmas?

Oh, the commercialism, the phony kindness,

the idea of a man climbing into my house while I'm asleep.

You take your pick.

Piper! Christmas is awesome. Okay, before you leave here,

I am going to convince you that Christmas is awesome.

(Laughs) Give it your best shot.

Alright, in the meantime, let's get back

to fixing this place up. We are going to need some photos

of you and the kids in the snow for the book.

We'll need a photographer.

I know a guy! My best friend Luke. He's a professional.

Oh. Perfect. In the meantime, I'll interview you,

give our writer something to work with.

What kind of stuff are you looking for?

Think heartfelt. Stuff that tugs on the heart strings,

something that shows real emotion. People love that junk.

(Dog Barks)

You'll sell a lot more books.

Well, I'm sure it'll be horrible,

but you've convinced me. I'll do it,

but only because it's for the book. Sorry kids.

Can you watch Archie?

Sure.

Ah, there he is!

I saw you on TV this morning boss! (Laughs)

(Dog Barks Viciously)

Looks like all that promotion is really paying off.

(Grant Laughs)

Looks like a couple of people came in to see you.

See! If it wasn't for me there'd be nobody here at all.

Oh, hopefully Piper here can help us fix that.

Hey Grant, you think maybe you could go do your um... Your job?

Ah, in a bit. I'm gonna get a bite to eat.

Do you always talk to your boss like that?

No. Sometimes I treat him like crap. (Laughs)

Here's a thought. Why don't you stop doing that

and start doing what you're paid to do.

Oh, is that right? So what if I don't... Cupcake?

(Clenched Teeth Laugh)

-Tim. -Yeah?

Do I have your permission to do whatever it takes

to fix this place up?

-Yeah, of course. -Great.

You're fired. Leave the suit in the staff room.

(Nervous Chuckle) Are you kidding me with this?

You can't just come in here and change the way things run

cause you don't like it.

Listen lady, you're gonna regret ever crossing me! I'm---

(Dog Barking)

Whoa! Easy, easy, easy. Alright, I'm going.

You're gonna realize what a mistake this was!

Hey, I guess that's a point for you.

Okay. Time to hire a new Santa.

That might be a little harder than you think.

Way ahead of you. Watch!

You might not have known it when you hired that guy, but

there's actually agencies that deal with this sort of thing.

Um...

Voice on Phone: Santa for Hire.

Hi. This might be a little last minute seeing as Christmas

is just around the corner, but I need your best Santa

to start work at the North Pole Christmas Village

as soon as possible, please.

Piper...

Voice on Phone: Sure thing! (Laughs)

In fact, our very best Santa just became available.

Should I send him over?

Yes! That would be wonderful. Thank you very much.

So what time do you want me to start?

(Grant Laughs and Laughs and Laughs)

Grant runs the Santa for Hire agency in this town.

And he also runs the Elves for Hire agency.

In case you're about to call them next.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted so quickly.

Nah, the guy's a jerk. Do you know how many times

I wished I had the guts to fire him?

Dad, what's going on?

Oh no.

Listen, kiddos, Santa's just...

Going to check up on things at his workshop.

Dad, Grant is not Santa.

It's about time you fired him.

He's not even jolly.

And apparently he's taking the company suit for a walk too.

Don't worry. I'm on it.

-It's okay, yo--- -I got it!

(Indistinct Grumbling)

Piper: Hey!

(Instinct Instructions to Elf)

Pumpkin, ha ha. I guess you've come to beg me to stay?

Not a chance. I believe that costume

is property of the this Christmas Village.

Well, I'm kind of wearing it.

Well, I guess you're going to have to kind of "un-wear" it.

(Piper's Phone Rings)

Hey.

Bad news or worse news?

Oh, uh, bad news first.

Our lawyer spoke to his lawyer and apparently it's all legal.

Andi: I'm not sure how exactly, but Brock acquired the rights

to the recipes fair and square.

That is insane?! Well how is this possibly the bad news?

What's the worse news?

Cubbie's Old Fashioned Cakes is officially suing us.

What?!

They say that we don't have the rights to the recipe,

and you firing Brock in the past makes it seem like you were

maliciously trying to destroy his book and career.

How can this get any worse?

Oh, Andi, I cannot stand this holiday.

I really can't.

I know. I hate it too. Mom called by the way.

Asking if we were coming to Christmas.

Of all people how does she still love this?

Hey! Personal moment between sisters here.

Keep stripping, St. Knickers.

I don't even get it. Of everyone out there,

you'd think a single mom, who spent her life cleaning up

after all those ungrateful people in that department store,

would see this as a stupid money grab more than anyone.

I agree. All people care about is bragging about how money

they spent going into debt to buy someone a gift

that they didn't even want.

(Big Sigh)

I wonder if it's because of dad.

What? Dad walking out on us on Christmas Eve

makes mom love Christmas even more?

No, I just wonder if she's always trying

to overcompensate by putting on a big show.

You know, for us kids.

Like all those lavish dinners we used to have at Grammie's.

Although, I always did look forward to

Grammie's Christmas cookies.

I miss her. She was the best.

So are we going to talk about what you're doing?

There you go toots. It's all yours.

Good luck.

Okay, this guy is a terrible person.

And he's our only Santa Claus in town.

Andi, I need a miracle.

I'm not thinking that it's a miracle but the driver

should be there any minute with your bag.

At least it's one thing you don't have to worry about.

You said the back gate, right?

You really are great. I do not tell you that enough.

Thanks.

I paid the driver already. I'll gave him a nice tip, too.

Oh, I think he's just arriving now. I'll call you later okay.

Hi there. You must be delivering...

Um you must be delivering my bag?

I was told you needed a miracle.

I promise kiddos.

Santa's going to be back and better than ever!

Maybe if we write a letter to the real Santa,

he'd come and visit.

Ah, honey. He's just so busy this time of year.

Did someone say 'save the day'?

I don't think so?

I took a chance.

Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to

your brand new Santa Claus!

Hello everyone!

Santa!

It's really you.

How have you been this year?

Good thank you.

Tim: How did you do this?

I'd like to tell you some elaborate story

that would make me sound incredible,

but the truth is... I just got pretty lucky.

Santa, would you like to meet your new boss?

Hi Santa.

Glad to have you at our North Pole.

I'm so happy to be here. I can't wait to get to work.

Great! You can head right on over to your work station.

Is there anything I can do to make your first day here great?

You already have. You already have.

Santa: We're going to do everything we can

to make your wishes come true.

-Thanks Santa. - Oh, you're welcome. (Laughs)

I had Andi do a background check on him,

we're totally clear.

Of course. I love Tim. Besides,

this will be a pleasant change from my usual line of work.

Oh really? What do you do?

I'm a forensic photographer.

Of course you are.

Tim: He's really good.

Show her some of your work.

No, I'll take your word for it.

Shall we take a tour?

Lead the way!

What? How did you do this?

I stopped by the community theatre

and tracked down some of their set designers.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting much

but they're great... For a small town.

I wish I had thought of that.

Oh, I also offered them the space

for rehearsals during off hours.

Piper, thank you. That's great!

Oh don't thank me yet. Their entire next season's musicals.

Oh, um, all the stuff was picked up

by the daycare down the street.

They said it was for their elite theatre program.

That's incredible. Thank you so much!

Hey everybody!

Busker: Who's excited for Christmas?

Crowd: Yeah!

Who's ready for presents?

Crowd Shouting: Me!

How many more days until Santa comes?

Crowd: Eight!

It's eight! (laughs) Yeah!

I taught him everything!

Ready!

-Whoa! -Cool!

Is that a game?

Tim: That's a handsome looking website.

When did you find time to finish it so quickly?

First, I sweet-talked one of the country's top web designers

into working night and day. For free.

Free? Really?

Practically. I promised her a high end day spa.

And I do love a good spa day.

Wait. You designed this?

There's still more work to be done but it's up,

functional, and not completely dated.

(Camera Clicks)

Oh, I'm really not sure that we're going to be needing

that one for the book.

No. That one's for the family.

Look! Archie.

(Goats Bleating) (Camera Clicks)

How the heck did you get the goats to come back?

This one I can't take credit for.

Jack apparently has some experience with farm animals.

Really?

I guess it pays to have a Good Santa around here.

(Goats Bleating)

My mom says that I'm not allowed to build

my own particle accelerator,

because she thinks it will be too unstable.

And I'm like Mom, I can handle my atoms.

(Laughing) I believe that you can.

So can I please have either a particle accelerator

or a blue dress with yellow flowers.

You got it. (Chuckles)

It's kind of magical.

Settle down. There is no such thing as magic.

You know what else is magic?

Try me.

It seems that this whole Christmas-thing

is growing on you.

Whatever.

At least Hank's happy.

(Laughs) I'm so happy.

(Door Opens)

Ahhhhhh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know you were in here.

Oh don't be so shy love.

I'm just applying my nightly face mask.

No problem. I'll come right back.

Oh, don't be so silly.

There's plenty for both of us.

What is it? (Sniffs)

Why does it smell so good?

Avocado, yogurt and honey.

It's my Grammy's recipe.

Oh yeah? (Chuckles) I had a Grammy too.

Does it work?

I'm 96 years old, love.

(They Both Laugh)

Thanks.

(Sniffs)

It smells delicious.

Oh!

Oh! How do you get the cucumbers to stick?

(Crunchy bite) Stick where? (Laughs)

All the best bars have snacks, babe.

♪ "Christmas Country Cheer Opening Music" ♪

(Audience Cheering and Clapping)

Good morning and welcome back to another episode of

Christmas Country Cheer. As always, I'm your host, Nina.

And I'm your co-host, Maria!

Piper, I really don't think I can do this.

It's fine, remember what we talked about.

Smile, breathe, eye contact.

And this week we're back in Winter Ridge

to catch up on some Christmas Country Cheer!

Please help me welcome back to the stage,

Timothy Swan and Piper Jansen!

Audience: Cheering and Clapping

-Hi Nina. -Hi!

-Welcome back. -Thank you so much!

Wonderful to see you!

Well thanks for having us back. We're so excited to be here.

It's a treat to have you. You've been busy.

(Big Breath) Breathe...

-Nina: I'm sorry? -Tim: Eye contact.

(Audience Laughs)

Nina, can i just take a second to tell you

how much I love this new hair style of yours.

(Audience Claps) Oh, you're so sweet!(Laughs)

So why don't you folks tell me

what you've been up to at the North Pole?

Well, I gotta say, usually when I start a book

it's quite tough, but I have just been having

the time of my life out here! I mean, first of all,

this town is absolutely gorgeous.

-Uh huh. -It's magical.

(Audience Clapping)

And I'm just very impressed with the whole Christmas Village.

Tim is a really great father. (Audience Ohhs and Awws)

and he's got something really special

going on for his kids up there.

(Audience Awws and Claps)

Oooooh do I sense something a little more

going on here between you two?

Oh no. No. Purely professional.

Okay, okay. So I heard through the grapevine,

the real Santa's been hanging out

at your Christmas Village?

I mean, I don't know how to explain it?

People have been flocking to see Santa at the park.

In sort of a magical kind of way.

The man's a rock star.

Well why don't the both of you come on down

and visit us this coming weekend

because guess what folks?

We are actually hosting our very first annual

"Breakfast with Santa!"

-Oh sure! -Oh yeah!

I mean where else can you have cookies for breakfast, right?

And a portion of the day's proceeds

will be donated to charity.

All... All of the proceeds.

All the proceeds?

Ah, we're still working out the details.

Well you heard it folks! Get out your wallets

and head down to enjoy some breakfast and

Christmas cookies with Santa in the North Pole.

Cookies for breakfast! I mean how cool is that?

Aaaaaaaaand.... (Dog Barking)

Piper just told me backstage that her and Tim are...

Piper: Nope.

Until next time, Winter Ridge! Keep it Cheery!

Bye bye!

(Audience Cheering and Clapping) Music

Now you look like you'd like to adopt a dog.

Oh, I do! I do! (Dog Barks)

Thank you! Thanks.

Aw. Christmas came early.

Santa: The children were nestled all snug in their beds...

While visions of sugar plums, danced in their heads.

What's a sugar plum?

I'm pretty sure that's old people candy.

(Everyone Laughs)

And mama in her kerchief, and I in my cap,

had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window, I flew like a flash!

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

(Door Opens)

(Santa continues to read)

Man, that guy is a lifesaver.

Right? I can't believe how lucky that was.

I don't know really about luck? I mean...

Not again.

You gotta admit. He showed up right when you needed him.

(Chuckles) That is not a Christmas miracle.

That is the right place at the right time.

Okay, then what about you?

What about me?

My business is failing and you just happened

to be on the same show I am to save my business?

I told you, I used you to deflect some bad press.

Miracles come in all shapes and sizes.

You can't argue that one, that's science.

-I do not think so. -Yeah?

(Kids Laughing in Background)

Hey, um, I know you're not into all this,

or anything to do with happiness or joy.

(Piper Chuckles)

But, ah...

(Kids Cheering and Clapping in Background)

Every year the kids and I make a new ornament for the tree,

and we made you this.

You did? For me?

You can throw it out, if you want.

Just maybe wait 'til you're out of the park.

I don't want the kids to see.

What? No. I...

Thank you. I love it.

(Kids Cheering and Clapping in Background)

Paige did the glitter.

Well it's the best part. Very glittery.

Yeah, it doesn't come off.

(Piper Laughs)

(Shop Door Opens) Tim: What do you mean,

you don't like gingerbread houses?

Piper: It's either food or it's a house.

It can't be both.

What about Hansel and Gretel? They ate houses made of candy.

Yeah and then the witch ate them.

What makes you like this?

(They Both Chuckle)

(Rings Bell)

Did you ring the bell, or is that in my head?

Hey Kenny, it's Tim.

Timmy! Timmy-Tim-Tim! Hey buddy!

You moved to Japan. How's that going?

Um... No I didn't.

Load off my mind! What can I do for you?

Well, this here is Piper,

and she's going to be helping us

with a Breakfast With Santa at the village.

I'm sure.

And we'd love to hire you to make the Christmas cookies

using my great Grandmother's recipes.

What's wrong with my recipes?

I'm... sure nothing. I, I...

(Laughing Hysterically) Look at your face.

Oh, it is classic Piper.

Yeah absolutely, I'll make yours. Don't worry about it.

Honestly, I can use the business.

The paper wrote a little piece on me

and they called me "peculiar" and "off putting".

So you're sure you want to keep doing this?

Like, won't this get you in more trouble with Cubbies?

No way. Those were my great grandmother's recipes.

They're the ones who stole them.

Ah but, hmmmm? What?

Um, just a big corporation is trying

to steal my Grammy's recipes

and pass them off as their own.

(Breaking Glass)

That's how much I hate when people steal family recipes!

I can tell.

Yeah! You ever hear of a little thing called 'bubble gum'?

Sure.

Yeah, well you wouldn't have

if it wasn't for my great great uncle Bob

who liked to blow bubbles with tree sap.

Someone stole the idea from him?

Yes! And now they're bazillionaires and he is dead!

What, they killed him?

Yup, what? Killed him? No.

No, no, no, no. The sap was really poisonous.

Yeah, he was a very stupid man. You know what?

Don't worry about it. I'm going to make your cookies,

and, ah, just 'cause I like you so much,

I'm going to get to the bottom of your bubble gum thing too.

Yeah, I had nothing to do with the bubble gum. I just...

Don't question the madness. They'll be delicious.

-Thanks Kenny. -Uh huh.

-Thanks Kenny. -Okay.

(Door Opens and Closes)

You people can't still be here? You got to go.

Get out. I got to do this.

♪

(Laughing) No, no, no. You start with your own plate,

Piper: and then somebody yells switch,

and you move to the chair to your left,

but I went right. I almost took Paige right out.

(Laughing) Sounds like you're getting used to the simple life.

It's just different here.

Like, Andi, everybody holds the door open for you.

Like even if you're a block away.

Oh, you should test that. Go really slow,

and see how long they'll hold it for.

(Knock At Door) Oh, sorry. One sec.

Come on in. (Doors Sliding Open)

Hey love, just popping in to see if you wanted

to join our annual Polar Bear Dip?

Millie! It's the middle of the night?

The jump stops your heart,

and the cold water starts it back up again.

I, I think I'll pass. But thank you for the invite.

You need to live a little, hon. Don't you forget that.

Baby steps Millie.

(Doors Sliding Closed)

(Laughs) Sorry. That was just Millie

inviting me for a swim in the dead of winter.

Oh, so a regular Wednesday then?

Andi: Back to some business.

I have a decent writer working on a feel good story,

but it doesn't quite match the photos

that that forensic guy Luke sent.

Oh no. Are they that bad?

Andi: You tell me.

Oh...

(Andi Laughs)

Yeah, maybe I can get him to come back

and take some more, you know, generic photos.

Without me.

Don't fight a good story, Pipe.

Yeah, yeah. Using my own words against me. Not fair.

Alright, I'm crashing.

My boss is crazy and freaks when I'm late.

Okay, sweet dreams.

Piper Reading: I think this one is perfect for the cover.

(Big Sigh) (Dog Bark)

(Dog Whines)

Okay fine, come on up.

But I warn you. I toss and turn all night long.

(Chuckles) All night long.

♪

Looking right here guys. Yup, perfect.

(Camera Clicks)

Wow! I love looking at their eyes in these photos.

Wow. It's a great turn out.

She'd be proud Tim. And so would your dad.

(Camera Click)

Congratulations sir!

Oh yeah, for what?

Your kids and my dog have officially gone viral.

Tim: That is the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Archie's a certified star.

Cute equals views, views equals people,

and people equals money.

Speaking of. You really should be charging for these photos.

No, I couldn't.

They can make a donation to the food bank, though.

I'm telling you, people pay a lot of money

for this Christmas fuzziness.

No. Everyone deserves a picture with Santa.

My dad was a photographer. Did I ever tell you that?

No.

He's actually the one who turned Luke onto it.

My uncle was the mall Santa, and my dad took the photographs.

They agreed to do it only if

the pictures were free for everyone. I don't know?

Maybe it's why I'm failing.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but

that's actually a very sweet story.

Free pictures it is. Oh.

Let me donate to the Santa's pics,

to help with the costs.

Oh my goodness. A charitable donation for Christmas?

Okay, settle down.

It's the end of the year and I still need a few tax deductions.

You know what this is right?

If you say miracle, I'm going to tear that up.

I didn't have to. You just did.

You give me that back!

No, that is mine now!

No. No. No! It's mine now!

Oh, hey sir. Is your son or daughter here?

Phtt! No!

Sorry. You've reached the weight limit.

You show me where it says there's a weight limit

for me to sit on this man's lap.

Piper: Oh boy.

Kenny, we went through this last year.

I have wishes too!!

Let me wish.

Here you go. (Phone Rings)

Please tell me you have good news?

I wish it was Andi, but we've gone through it

and the recipes are identical.

Danielle: Brock registered them years ago.

I don't know how they did it. But it's legal.

So they legally steal my family's recipe,

and sue us for good measure.

And there's a hearing in a couple days.

I'm sorry, but they want Piper there.

What if I come? Speak on her behalf.

I tried that. Brock said, and I quote, "No Dice a roo".

He wants to see Piper fail in front of him.

Okay. Thanks Danielle.

I'll make sure she's there. (Hangs Up Phone)

(Slams Down Phone)

Tracy, bring me my donut.

Wow! You guys have really out done yourselves.

I feel like the real deal.

(Door Opens, Footsteps)

Good morning Jack!

Morning Piper! We were just saying

how wonderful this all looks.

Oh, thank you. But I did feel like

you were missing something.

Me? Really?

I think I have just the fix.

Ready?

All right, keep em on love, I'm coming.

(Santa Laughing)

What good is a Santa without his Mrs. Claus?

Very nice to meet you Santa.

The pleasure is all mine.

(Dog Barks)

Piper, look at us!

Hey, have you two elves seen my friends

Declan and Paige anywhere?

Piper! It's us! (Giggles)

Oh my goodness! I didn't even recognize you two.

Come on Archie. Let's go dance.

(Dog Barks) Come on daddy.

You know, they really like you.

You think?

Children never really seem to enjoy my company.

Well maybe it's how happy you make their dad.

He's just happy because I came and fixed up his business.

I've seen a lot of smiles in my life,

and that right there. That is not a smile

that comes from work.

It takes a whole lot of love to smile like that.

It's... Just my two cents.

(Chuckles) Thanks Jack.

I don't know if I can live up to all that.

I don't want my legal issues

to embarrass him or the Village.

Santa: I don't think he feels that way.

It's not your fault, dear.

No, it's precisely my fault.

I know how important legal clearances are.

You know, I do this on every single one of my books.

Myself. Without fail!

But those are your grandmother's recipes.

That's why I failed this time.

I knew better. I just, I didn't think to do it.

Stop beating yourself up.

Come on. Christmas is right around the corner!

You know, I have an in with Santa.

And Santa Claus can fix just about anything.

(Piper's Phone Rings) -Oh!

Piper here.

(Slurping Sound)

Hey Pipsqueak! How's my favorite nobody?

What do you want Brock?

Brock: Oh, ouch. I'm just calling

to say no hard feelings about tomorrow.

No hard feelings about what?

About the hearing. I'm flying out special.

What hearing?

Ooooooooh you don't even know about it yet!

Ahhhh I wish I could see your face right now!

Brock: Are you alone? Is there someone else there?

Ask them to take a picture of you and send it to me.

(Laughs) Are you crying? Are there tears?

Oh I hope there's tears. If there's tears

make sure you collect those things

and send them to me, right.

Brock: I want them in a jar.

I'll give you a thousand dollars an ounce!

Now tell you what, I'll give you a thousand dollars a tear.

How about that? (Laughs)

Ah, she hung up again.

(Phone Rings) Hey, what's up?

Hi. Can you explain to me why Brock is calling me

to tell me about a hearing tomorrow?

I'm sorry. I was just about to call you,

I swear. I was up all night trying to find a way

that they would move it for you.

You knew about this yesterday?

Hey Andi! Thanks for staying up all night

trying to find a way around this.

I know you're doing everything you can!

You're right. I'm, I'm so sorry.

It's just, ahh, tomorrow of all days.

Andi: Yeah, I'd love to tell you that it was a coincidence,

but he saw you on that morning show and

purposely picked this day.

I just might punch him tomorrow.

Andi: You'll post my bond right?

You know, I was actually starting to enjoy it here.

(Chuckles) I know it's stupid, don't say it.

Andi: I wasn't.

I was actually going to say that I am jealous you're there.

Really?

Andi: Yeah, are you kidding me?

Pipe, those photos alone make me want to drop everything,

Andi: move to a small town and write a country love song.

You know what? Skip tomorrow. Stay there.

I'll go on your behalf. She was my Grammy too.

No. I can't. He'll call me a liar and thief all day.

He'll use me not being there as admitting defeat.

I have to go defend myself.

But, what if we...

I'll leave first thing in the morning.

What are you going to tell them?

Nothing.

They don't need me here anymore.

Piper: I don't want to ruin their day.

(Hangs Up Phone)

(Owl Hooting)

Excited to take your first flight?

(Dog Panting)

I know pal. I don't want to leave either.

(Knock at Door)

Come on in.

(Door Slides Open)

What's all this?

Unfortunately something come up with work,

back home. I have to go take care of it.

Oh, I see.

Actually, Millie, um...

I was wondering would you be able

to give this letter to Tim for me?

Of course I will.

Thanks.

And I wanted to thank you for all your hospitality,

and all the warmth you've shown me.

Millie I really, I really appreciate it.

We'll miss you a lot.

I'll miss you too.

(Dog Whines)

(Car Horn Honking)

That's my ride.

Thank you so much again for everything.

We'll see you soon love. I'm sure of it.

Where's Archie.

(Dog Barks) Oh!

Come on pal!

(Door Opens and Closes)

Come on Arch.

(Car Door Closes)

Terminal one please.

(Laughing)

You mean the terminal?

Great, just when I thought this day couldn't get any worse.

Relax, I come in peace.

Why do I find that hard to believe.

It's a small town, Piper, and I happen to love living here.

I can't be known as "Mean" Santa forever.

Especially not with my new job!

So you're driving me to the airport?

Yup.

And this one's on me.

Let's leave a little extra space in between.

I'm anticipating a lot of full bellies.

(Paige Laughs)

Has anyone seen Piper yet?

No. Not yet.

Oh, morning Millie. Did Piper come in with you?

She asked me to give you this.

I'm sorry love.

Piper had to go home.

They called her into a hearing. She didn't have a choice.

What do we do now?

We carry on.

Piper put in a lot of work

and I don't want that to be for nothing.

So, let's keep getting ready.

It's going to be a big day.

Luke. Do you think you can take the kids

and pick up the cookies? Piper had to go home.

Yeah. Sure thing. You alright?

Yeah. Of course.

Alright guys. Follow me. Come! Come.

Yeah! Cookies!

(Car Driving)

You know, we don't get a lot of people leaving town actually.

I left town once. Big mistake.

Grant: I missed the place so much, I was back in a week.

You know, our town was in the records books once.

For the town that nobody wanted to leave.

(Grant Chuckles)

Really?

Yah. See. It seems like people come here to visit

and end up staying.

Still in the records book, though,

as the town with the most one way tickets.

(Grant Chuckles)

It's a silly thing to be proud of I guess but,

you know, this is home and it's special.

Hey, I'm just here to pick up the cookies.

I brought the children, so no cussing.

Pttt! Please, I'm a pro!

When have I ever cussed in front of children?

Um, on my birthday.

Hmmm, ah... I am sorry about that.

Yeah, we're cool dude.

Alright, here you go. I'll bring the rest over in my truck.

Okay. We'll meet you there.

Cool. Hey, where's that woman?

I want to give her back her recipe book.

Actually, she said you can keep that.

Hmmm. No thanks. These are all old.

Wait. What do you mean?

Bro, they're from those old red cookbooks

that everybody's mom had in their house.

Look around you.

This. It's from that cookbook.

Kids, hurry into the car. I have to call your dad.

-Thanks Kenny! -Alright.

(Dialing)

Tim! You're not going to believe this!

(Shop Door Opens and Closes)

That is incredible!

Okay, yeah, yeah. I'll check that online.

Tim: And hurry back. I'm going to give her a call

and tell her to come back.

(Phone Ringing)

What are you going to do, son?

I don't know! I, it's still kind of messed up, but...

I have to get to the airport.

What about the breakfast?

That's why I have to go. She has to be here!

Who has to be here?

Piper. Piper!

(Chuckling and Laughing)

Dad! Dad!

Hey guys,

I need you to stay with uncle Luke for a bit okay?

And I need you to look up Piper's office in New York.

Let them know what you found out.

Yeah, alright. I can do that. Where're you going?

I need to find Piper before she gets to the airport.

You'll never catch up.

Of course I will! It's Christmas!

Go Dad!

Race you to the bridge.

Hey guys. Wait up.

(Car Driving)

Are we close yet?

Yup. You're going to be right on time.

Piper's Top Picks, Andi speaking.

Hello Andi, this is Luke.

I'm working with Piper who's helping Tim

with his failing North Pole Christmas Village theme park.

Ah, yes. The photographer.

What can I do for you?

(Chuckles) Actually. I believe I'm the one who can help.

Operator: Hello. Airport information. This is Tammy.

Hi! Has the flight to New York City left yet?

Operator: Give me one second. Let me have a look.

Operator: Not quite yet.

Looks like there has been a slight delay.

There is still a chance.

No worries, ma'am. You'll have a two hour layover in Boston.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

I'm sorry sir. I'm with a customer.

I just need...

You'll have to go to the back of the line.

I just need to know.

Has the flight to New York City left yet?

The morning flight to New York has already departed.

Now please, sir, end of the line.

(Dog Barking)

Hey Archie.

Archie?

Piper?

What are you doing here?

I came to stop you from leaving.

Really?

Really. I want you in my life.

Look, I know this isn't what you're used to.

I can't exactly give you the big city life.

Or promise you things like theatre and fine dining.

But if you stay, I promise you that I'm going to

make it my goal, every single day,

to put a smile on your face.

I love you, Piper.

And I don't think I said it before but...

I chose you.

What?

I was waiting at the gate and I just couldn't get on that plane.

Because all I could think about was how I'd rather be with you,

and Paige and Declan.

Tim, I don't care about what happens at home.

All I want for Christmas is to have breakfast...

With you.

(They Both Laugh)

So...

what are we waiting for then?

I'm waiting for you to kiss me, mister.

Grant: Soooooo..... (Laughs)

You've got yourself a ride then?

Yeah, Grant. I'll make sure she gets home safe.

Excellent. Oh, by the way.

Did I hear someone mention something

about having breakfast?

There's going to be real maple syrup.

Sweet! It's my favourite.

I'll see you there.

So do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?

The good news.

Remember crazy Kenny from the bakery?

He says that all of your Grandma Rose's recipes

are available for free online. I did some research and they're

originally from the Old County Flour Company cookbook

from the late 1800's.

So they fell into the public domain years ago!

They don't belong to Cubbie's or Grammy.

I guess they don't belong to anybody.

Grammy must've known that book and written out the recipes.

Exactly. Maybe she had a copy and it was getting old.

Or maybe she just borrowed it from a friend.

So there is no basis for the law suit.

And there's nothing to embarrass you or the Village.

So what's the bad news?

Breakfast is getting cold.

(They Both Laugh)

Santa: There's our Piper!

Merry Christmas, love.

(Group Happily Murmuring)

(Piper and Tim Laugh)

(Group Happily Murmuring)

How's the breakfast going so far?

Great! Everybody's having a wonderful time.

Jack is doing an amazing job.

Don't worry Santa. Your secret's safe with me.

Okay, everyone. Let's eat. Let's go.

(Happy Murmuring)

(Indistinct Chattering)

No. You say your favorite movie, okay. On three.

One, two, three! Alien Invasion!

Ah, same again!

Wow. Just like I remembered them. Absolutely perfect.

These must be the best cookies I have ever had.

Right.

Hey Kenny. These are fantastic.

My pleasure.

So how did you find out that these were in the public domain?

Oh. Well. After you dropped off your book, I was,

you know, thumbing through, see what else I could steal.

And that's when I realized, I already did.

Luke: I was just going to say that!

One sec!

Hello?

He folded!

Andi?

Yeah, Luke called about the public domain thing,

so I went to the hearing, showed them the evidence,

and, you're off the hook.

(Laughing) I can't believe this!

Oh, and it gets way better.

How?

Well. Believe it or not,

he'd like to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

(Laughs) No way!

Andi: Yeah. Oh, and after seeing

everything that you've done at the North Pole,

you are getting tons of offers. Do you want me

to put them on your desk for when you back?

Actually. I think I'm going to take a little break for awhile.

It's Christmas time. I'm good here.

Perfect! I'll see you in a couple hours!

A couple hours? No I'm...

We've been talking for hours. Your sister is incredible.

I now understand every love song ever written.

Thunderstorms, love them or hate them? On three!

One, two, three!

Merry Christmas Piper.

Oh, Merry Christmas, Declan.

Merry Christmas, Paige.

Merry Christmas Piper Marshmallows.

(They All Laugh)

Come here.

Okay, I want in!

Oh do you?

Anyone else want in? (Laughs)

Everyone!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Alright guys. Everyone smile!

(Laughing)

Hey look! There it is.

Hey look! There's me!

(Laughing) Piper look! It's us!

You know what? This might be my favorite pick ever.

Ah, it's not my best.

I was once on a scene where a man under a tree had strange...

Uh huh.

(They Laugh)

You know, I still think it should have called

Piper finally believes in miracles.

Ah! Not again.

(Laughing)

Fine, not a miracle. What about magic?

No.

Destiny?

No, not that either.

Fate.

Fine. I'll give you fate.

Aww!

Ewww!

The miracle of fate.

Ahhh! Come on, Arch. (Dog Barks)

(Tim Laughs)

Dad. Just let it go, okay?

(Laughs) Come on guys.
