Bye. Thanks so much.

- Hey, mom. Did they check out?
- Yeah, yeah

and one more guest is
checking in in an hour.

Okay, I need to
clean their room,

and then I need to
clean room three.

It's a complete mess. Somebody
left Elf ears under the bed.

Sweetie, you don't have to
do everything around here.

I got it. I'm sorry,
did you say elf ears?

What kind of
daughter would I be

if I let you do everything?

Oh, is this the new one?
Olivia, this is great!

You got the whole Christmas
market here, and dad.

Yeah, well, I mean, I
figured he started the market,

so he needs to
stay a part of it.

Oh, he would just
love it, sweetie.

He'd be so proud of you

running the market.

Listen, you get that? I'll
put these in the washer, okay.

Willowcroft B&B.

Uh, yeah. Let's see.

Right before the holidays,
I have Saturday the 21st.

Does that work?

Uh-uh. Yeah,
yeah, yeah.

I don't have that available,
but I do have the 21st.

Does that work for you?
Mom!

No? Okay.

All right then.
Sorry about that.

Thank you, bye!

- Mom!
- My fruitcake!

No!

Don't say it. I forgot
to set the timer again.

Every Christmas season,
it's the same thing.

Well, no, this was
a new recipe, honey.

Not the fruitcake, mom,

it's this, this
balancing act that we do.

We're so busy working, we don't
have a moment for ourselves.

Well, you've been
working non stop.

Why don't you take a few
days to yourself, sweetie?

I can manage things here.

Mom, Christmas is our
busiest time of year.

It accounts for nearly half
our revenue. You know this.

Plus my duties at
the Christmas market,

I can't just take a
few days for myself--

You can, you just won't.

And weren't you finally
going to the city

for more miniature supplies?

I'm gonna go another day.
I've gotta clean the rooms.

I'll get the
rooms, honey. Go.

Go!

- Love you!
- Love you.

Hello, sir.
You will be perfect.

Another
supply run already?

Hey, just grabbing some stuff
for the children's workshop

that I'm running at
the market this year.

Well, and just a
couple things for me.

So are you working on
anything new that I can see?

Actually, I just finished
a miniature version

of the Christmas
market my dad started.

I added some of my
own personal flair.

Oh, is that your dad?

It is. I'm keeping
his legacy alive

with my art as best I can.

You should sell these online.

Oh, it's just a hobby, really.

I, I don't have
much time for it.

Well, it's the
best I've ever seen.

Well, I think I'm all set.

All right, let's go.

- Morning.
- Grayson. Come in.

Grab some peppermint bark.

You wanted to see me, Dad?

I'm almost finished
decorating my office

for Christmas. There, done.

I think maybe
it's time to

update the Christmas decor.

Why? It's a classic.

Yeah, I know. It's grandmas.

Son, aside from
Christmas cheer,

this tree represents the
values of our company.

You don't just replace something
that still has relevance,

you stick with tradition.

It's a reminder of a time

when my father had
this job, his father,

and a long line of family
that's been designing

buildings all over this city

since the Industrial Revolution.

That one lone
tree does all that?

Are those your designs?

Yeah, yeah. I want
you to take a look.

Ah, yeah. Excellent.

Yeah, these are just
perfect, son.

What█s this?

Oh, that wasn't
supposed to be in there.

It was just an alternate design
I was playing around with.

Why are you spending
time on designs like these?

Well, that's technically
what you asked for.

I just added my own
little flair to it.

Dad, I would love to
design something distinct,

like the architects
I look up to,

such as Frank Lloyd Wright.

Flair.

Well, that might fly someplace
else, but at our company,

we have a responsibility
to our shareholders.

What's the harm
in doing something

a little different,
a little unique?

Unique always comes
with financial risk.

We know what works. This works.

This is what makes us money.
Here, eat some peppermint bark.

It'll make you feel better.

I, I, I'm actually not much
of a fan of peppermint bark.

Let's finish this up quick.

One more deal
before the year ends,

everybody gets a bonus.

All right.

See you soon.

Sorry, I...

Um. Sorry. After you.

Uh no, you were, you
were here first.

No, no. I insist.

Thank you.

One ticket to Chestnut
Grove, please.

All trains are delayed.

Any idea how long?

Could be a while.

What do you think is
delaying the trains?

Ooh, uh I, I, I don't
know. Ice maybe.

Or maybe someone's built

a really elaborate snowman
on the train tracks.

Oh, I heard that
they put a magic hat

on its head and it came to life.

Now it█s just out there
wreaking havoc, delaying trains.

Did Frosty wreak havoc?

Are you kidding me?
Big havoc wreaker.

Really? I don't think so.

Okay, you need to go back
and listen to that song again.

He comes back to
life, grabs a broom,

and wreaks havoc all over town.

I had a completely different
interpretation of that song.

Really? Huh.

So do you travel
much for work...

Kind of, I, I run a
miniature model workshop

for kids at my dad's
Christmas market.

So I needed some supplies.

Okay. Now that makes sense.

I noticed your
tiny tree in there,

like interior decorator
for the Mouse King

from "The Nutcracker"
or something?

No, I, I make
miniature displays.

- Oh.
- Yeah.

What do you,
what do you do?

Um, I'm in
architecture, actually.

Oh, wow. So you also build
things, only human-sized.

Yeah. That's, that's one
way to put it.

Yeah, I'm willing
to guess you have a

little more fun
than I do though.

Sorry. I'm, I'm so
distracted by this tree.

It's like you
decorate the entire place

except for this one
lonely little tree.

Yeah. It kinda looks like
it's in a timeout, doesn't it?

Making me kind of sad.

Hmm. Do you, you think they'd
mind if we just decorate it?

I mean, you know we just
help out the employees

and they can do something else.

I think it would
be a public service.

So do I. Should we?

Okay.

Decorating this tree is
feeding my soul right now.

Holidays keeping you busy?

Oh, you have no idea.

Between helping my mom
with her small business

and running an outdoor market,

this work always seems
to get in the way

of my creative freedom.

It feels like a lot
of work for one person.

Ah, well, I mean, miniatures
are really more of a hobby.

Unlike you, you get to
be creative for a living,

literally living the dream.

I mean, kind of. I'm not
exactly living my dream.

How do you mean?

Well, the firm
I work for sticks

to old-fashioned traditions.

I wanna design more unique
buildings, you know,

to inspire people,
build a community.

Sounds like you
need a new job.

Did
I fail to mention

that my father's the
CEO of the company?

Conveniently left out.

Yeah, you know,

it's just so frustrating
having all these ideas

in my head and not
being able to use them.

Exactly, or you have just
too much responsibility

to even create them.

- Yes, you get it.
- Yes!

- You totally get it.
- Yes.

I mean, this tree
was meant to find us,

um, train station companion.

Oh, well now I feel
seen, delayed stranger.

Oh, is it Miss or Mrs.
Train Station Companion?

Olivia's fine.

Now is it subtle or unsubtle
delayed stranger?

Call me Grayson.

Unsubtle delayed stranger
is my father's name.

Okay.

- Ooh!
- Oh.

You okay?

Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, there.

Ha.

Well, you know, for two
creatively stifled people

who are given the gift of
a fortuitous train delay,

I think we nailed it.

I think you're right.

You know, I would love
to see some of your work.

I would really like that too.

I mean, maybe you could show me

some of your bottled up designs?

Uh, yeah, maybe we
could--

Okay.

Sorry.

You just hold that thought?
Just gimme a minute.

Hold that thought please.

Holding the thought.

- Holding the thought.
- Okay. Hello, dad.

Can you hear me, Dad?

Miss, your train is boarding.

Oh, wait um, how
much time do I have?

Oh, a couple minutes.

You better get going
'cause the track

is all the way at the end.

Also, really nice
job with the tree.

Okay.

- Morning.
- Hey.

New soap?

Yeah, but they
messed up my order.

I wanted Christmas pine

and they sent me a box of
something called Smoky Chestnut.

Oh, this smells like candy
canes left in an old desk.

Oh, come on! That's
not even a smell.

Oh, smells like candy canes
left in an old desk. Aw.

Okay. I gotta
head to the market.

Okay.

No luck with the reindeer?

A team of engineers
working a week straight

couldn't untangle that thing,

but I guess that's what you get

for leaving it in
a box for years.

I think we should just
put it up like that.

We'll call it Christmas
after too many egg nogs.

Just put it in
your workshop for me, sweetie.

We'll take it out
again next year.

Thank you.

Okay.

I heard something about
rezoning. What does that mean?

They can't rezone
this place just like that.

Oh, thank gosh you're here.

I've been looking
all over for you.

What's going on?

Archie requested a
rezoning application.

Okay, we don't know
all the details yet,

but he might be trying to sell.

What? Sell?

Why would he sell? We've
been here for 20 years.

Oh, he can't sell.

My December sales keep
me afloat until summer.

Yeah, the
honey I sell here

keeps me going until
the farmer's market.

I sell fudge, Janice.

It's not like I can
put a lemonade stand

at the end of my
driveway that says

artisanal fudge
written in crayon.

Olivia, you run the market.
You have to talk to him.

- Like you could--
- Please!

Guys, look.

Archie knows how much this
market means to our community.

He was my dad's best
friend. I will talk to him.

We're not going anywhere.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Can I talk to you? Not here.

Yes.

Hi, ladies.

Hey, Eddie.
How are you?

Oh, you know, Christmas
time. Busy, busy.

Looking forward to the
market ball this year.

Got my hot chocolate
stand ready and waiting.

- Eddie!
- Be right there.

Hey, look, if
Archie wants to sell,

there's not much we
can do to stop him.

I work at city hall. I'll
talk to the zoning officer.

But when a big company wants

to buy and develop,
it's hard to stop.

So you're saying this
could already be over?

No, I'm just saying the
city probably won't help.

There's still plenty
that we can do though,

like talk to Archie!

Right! Yes! I,

I can talk to Archie. I'm
gonna call him right now.

- I'm gonna set up a meeting.
- Excellent. Oh, w-w-w-w-wait.

I haven't seen this one before.

It's really just,
it's a work in progress.

Girl, this is amazing.

When are you gonna stop messing
around and start selling these?

You're a real artist.

Wait, is this
train station guy?

Did he finally call?

No.

Okay, well, then I'm offended.

He gets to be in one of
your miniature designs

and I, lifelong friend and
generally amazing person,

still haven't been carved into
a teeny version of myself?

Okay, listen,

you help me convince Archie
not to sell that lot,

I will create an entire
world full of tiny Zoeys.

Deal.

But one of the tiny Zoeys

has to have a tiny
throne to sit on.

There has to be one royal Zoey

to rule over all
the other Zoeys.

- Okay.
- Oh! okay.

I gotta get to work.

But remember, call me
if you need anything.

Dad?

Come in, son.

I was just about
heading out for lunch.

I have something for you.
Final assignment for the year.

Empty lot. Perfect for what
we're looking to build.

Great foot traffic and
the city is very excited

that we wanna build there.

What does this
have to do with me?

Well, this is the
Christmas bonus.

I'm gonna be stuck
here all week trying

to close this Zelinsky deal.

So you're gonna go down there
and get the contract signed,

and then you're gonna
design something quick

and easy that the
board will approve

and see that you're
part of this team.

You mean something streamlined:

optimizing rental revenue,

every floor maximizes the number
of cubicles for workspaces.

Something in a gray
hue with more windows

than you need for
one office building?

I couldn't have said
that better myself.

You get the deal done,

you're one step closer
to succeeding your Pop.

What do you say?

I say, let's do it.

All right, let's get it done.

Yeah.

Hey, what do you got there?

Oh um, just something I
can't get off my mind.

How did I know
I'd find you here?

What's the word?

He's selling. And he's
already found a buyer.

Are you serious?

The paperwork came
in an hour ago.

I wanted to tell you myself.

Ooh, it's the infamous binder.

What's your dad got
to say about this?

Um, absolutely nothing.

I mean, he kept a
record of everything,

maintenance reports,
food licenses, all of it.

Except what to do if
Archie decided to sell.

Zoey, I can't lose the market.

I mean it█s everything
that my dad worked for.

He's only been gone
for four years, and

if I lose it, then his
legacy's gonna be gone forever.

Hey, we're not
gonna lose it, okay?

Zoey, what am
I supposed to do?

I don't know, but I'll
be right there to help you.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Thanks.

This was one of
the most difficult decisions

I've ever had to make.

I know how much the Christmas
market means to our community,

but I'm about to
become a grandpa

and I think it's time for
me to step back from work

and to retire with my family.

But there's gotta
be another way.

We have nowhere else to go!

Look, I'm, I'm sure
everything's gonna be just fine.

The new buyer,
he seems very nice.

Oh, there he is now.

Olivia?

Grayson?

Wait, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Is this train station
guy? It is, isn't it?

Uh, am I who?

Grayson, Archie Weaver.

I believe you are
here to buy my land.

Yes.

Wait a second. So that,
that is why you're here.

You're here to tear down
our Christmas market?

Your Christmas
market? No, no, I--

You got some nerve!

- Okay.
- Alright.

Look, I, if I
could just explain?

Yes, please. We would love
to hear your handsome plan.

I don't know anything
about your market.

And I was told about an
empty lot this morning.

Clearly it's not an empty lot.

So now that you know that,
you'll be rescinding your offer.

- Well...
- Uh, Grayson, please,

let's, let's discuss
this elsewhere.

I can't believe
this is happening.

Oh, well, we
can talk to him.

He had kind eyes and the
way he was looking at you,

you should talk to him.

You're right. We could
totally figure this out, yeah.

I'm sorry, Olivia.

I, I, I didn't mean
to blindside you,

but this market was always
meant to be temporary.

Yeah, maybe at first, Archie,

but after 20 years, it
feels pretty permanent.

Yeah, a-and if I could continue

for another 20 years
I would. But--

Archie, think about what
my dad did for this place.

All of my money is
tied up in this lot.

I'm sorry, but selling
is the only option.

That's not how I pictured
us meeting up again.

Oh, so, so you did
picture us meeting again.

Well, yeah.

You, you're the one who
left the train station.

No, my train was leaving.

You know what? It doesn't matter
what happened in the past.

What matters is
what's happening now.

And I will not let you tear
down our Christmas market.

Okay? I will fight you on this.

So, so don't get in my way.

Well, this is awkward.

Room three, top of stairs,
second door on the left.

Can we just talk
about this for a moment?

Extra towels and
blankets are in the armoire,

breakfast is at 7:30
and checkout's at 11.

Do you need help with
your luggage? No? Great.

Got it.

Okay, read
it back to me.

Okay.

We, the undersigned,
hereby petition

the Chestnut Grove County
Board of Supervisors

to disallow the sale of the land
that the Christmas market

currently resides
and operates on.

Great. Okay.

Um, could you also
add something like,

please don't steal Christmas

from all The Whos
down in Whoville?

Um, okay,

but I think saying
that the market is

a valuable part of the community

will be a bit more effective.

That sounds great.
I'm good either way.

Thank you so much for
helping me out with this.

Of course.

Even if the board
can't do anything,

it might make Archie
change his mind.

Just get the signatures.

Okay.

Roanne, I love
the colors you use!

Celeste, this is beautiful.

Katie, what a beautiful
house. Hey, check this out.

If you sprinkle just a
little bit of glitter,

it looks like fake snow.

Hey, thanks
for doing this, Olivia.

Katie gets so excited
for these workshops.

Oh, well, it is
my pleasure, Katie.

I'll see you guys later.

Well, everybody's
signing the petition.

So I hope this works.

Could you help me
get this straight?

The guy from the train station

is staying at our B&B right now?

That's what you
got from everything

I've told you is
happening right now?

No, no! I heard everything.
It's just, it's a...

It's a little bit
serendipitous, isn't it?

I knew there was
something up with you

when you came back
from Philadelphia.

You were, I don't
know, you were sunnier.

Yeah, because I
thought we had a moment.

That doesn't really
matter anymore.

Okay. Hey, why don't
you let me talk to Archie.

Mom, I don't know if it's
really gonna make a difference.

I think this petition
is our best bet.

I mean, we can't lose the
market, right? For dad?

Honey, I love the
Christmas market

and I, I, I can't
imagine losing it,

but there are so many other
ways that I hold onto your dad.

You're one of them,
the best one actually.

This is how I hold onto him.

I know.

And he'd be so
proud of everything

you're doing for the community.

But sometimes the universe
has a different plan

and, I just want you
to be open to that.

I love you, mom.

I love you.

Back to work. I'm gonna go
get some more signatures.

What are you doing here?

Hi, good morning.
And how are you?

Is this the workshop
you told me about?

Yep. Yes it is.

It looks like a lot of fun.

Yeah, well, the kids like
it and I really like doing--

Are you trying to distract
me? What are you doing here?

No, I'm just here to sign
the papers with Archie.

I see.

Well, for your information,

we're not going down
without a fight.

'cause this entire place,

everyone signed a petition
to save this market.

- Katie!
- Olivia,

can you help me? My star
won't stick to my tree.

Oh no. Okay, well, you
know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna put a little
bit of glue in there

and just stick 'em together
because that's what we do,

when things get tough,
we stick together.

I'll be right over to
help you, okay? Okay.

Look, I had no idea
this was your market.

It's not my intention to shut
this down or hurt anyone.

I'm just doing my job.

What happened to inspiring
people and building community?

I'm sorry.

- How did we do?
- Oh.

367 signatures.

Oh! What is this?

I'm gonna take a wild guess

and say a petition
to stop the sale.

And that's just from this
morning. You give me a week,

I'm gonna get half
the town to sign that.

Look, this is an
admirable gesture, Olivia,

but I already know what the
market means to this town.

I just, I don't have
any other options.

Wait, isn't
there another space

in the town the
market can move to?

It's unlikely.

Most available property
is either too small

or lacks the necessary
infrastructure

or accessibility required.

I mean, couldn't
you incorporate

the market into your build?

Maybe a couple stalls, or,

designated space? Brings
in so much foot traffic.

My company has a, a
signature style, let's say.

So it█s become
part of the brand.

Even if we reiterate how
much it means to this town?

It's not just a seasonal market.

It's part of our identity.

Olivia, I'm sorry,
but the deal's done.

Give me until Christmas Eve!

I'm gonna come up
with something.

Archie, come on. Think
about the merchants.

I don't know. I...

I really wanna move
forward with this.

You were my dad's best friend.

You guys started
this market together.

I mean, do it for him, please.

All right, all right.

You have till noon on Christmas
Eve, but if your plan is--

I won't press it any further.

Okay.
You have a deal, kid.

Look, you don't
mind sticking around

- for a few more days, do you?
- I mean...

Olivia's gonna need
some help with the market ball.

What? No, no, I don't.

Oh, come on. Why not?

Let's give Grayson here a chance

to get to know the town
a little bit better.

Well, clearly Grayson's not
very interested in getting

- to know this town.
- Okay, run along, you two.

There's lots of work to be done.

Yeah um, one question,
what is the market ball?

All right, so the market ball

is not in the Christmas market?

No, the market
ball is what happens

on the last day of
the Christmas market.

We stay open all
night as a fundraiser

for the community food bank.

You know, give back
to the community

- instead of taking from it.
- Yeah.

Outside, there
are the vendors,

but inside, we have an
auction with prizes,

and there's, there's
music, there's dancing.

It's an annual tradition
that everyone loves.

All right, so you
set all this up alone?

No other merchants help out?

Well, it's the biggest
event of the year

and they need time
to prepare it.

I just can't believe it
might be the last one.

Oh.

So why didn't the market
stay open year round?

That would've increased revenues

and Archie wouldn't
have had to sell.

Uh, well, if you hadn't noticed,
these stalls are ancient.

Like they predate the chisel.

I spoke to Archie last
year about upgrading them,

but this is gonna shock you,
he didn't have the budget, so.

Sounds like you
need a real building.

I know, you know, if only
somebody could build

that for us and let us stay.

Believe me, if
I could, I would.

Are you looking for a secret
password or something?

No, I am looking
for who has the keys.

I always forget who has them.

My dad used to take care of all
this and I did the creative,

but he left this
sort of like a manual

for whoever was gonna
take over his jobs.

Now I'm letting it slip away.

You know, it's not
your fault, right?

Mrs. Banks. To the market.

But we just came
from the market.

Thank you, Mrs. Banks.

We'll be sure to return
these when we get

the decorations out of storage.

Your father had me hold
these so he wouldn't forget

to collect my annual
gift to the market ball.

I remember. You
always remind me.

Oh, and speaking of
which...

Ah! Oh.

Oh, it's beautiful.

It always is. Thank you.

So Grayson,

you're staying here a little
longer than you anticipated.

Did you pack enough clothes?

No, Olivia. I
don't believe I did.

Yeah, well, it gets
really cold here.

So you should
know, one scarf is

definitely not gonna
cut it, unfortunately.

I would love to buy one
of your scarves, please.

All right.

You know what?
Give him a hat too.

- Oh.
- And a hat please.

Can you hold this box for
me? Thank you. That's for you.

Thanks, Mrs. Banks.

Oh, a
pleasure. Thank you.

- Here.
- Oh.

Shawn, these are gorgeous.

Hey, Grayson, are
you a fan of fudge?

Uh, yeah. A huge fan of fudge.

- Yeah? Well then,
- Yeah.

you simply must try

Shawn's famous cherry
vanilla fudge.

- It's--
- Oh, let me guess.

Legendary, world-renowned,
award-winning?

I was gonna say delicious,

but clearly you,
wanna try some, so.

I'll take one of
whatever fudge thing

that you want me to buy.

Oh. But Shawn doesn't just
do fudge, do you, Shawn?

- Soup in a jar.
- Soup in a jar!

Isn't that the most adorable
thing you've ever heard of?

No, I...

Yes, yes, I will. I will
take a soup in a jar.

All right.

Get your cash.

- I'll get you stacked. Okay.
- Thank you very much.

Lots to see you, little time.

- Bye-bye, Shawn. Later!
- Bye!

Janice, this might
be your best year yet.

Thank you. I was so worried.

It's difficult to
craft under duress.

Yeah.

Duress? Why were you under...

Oh. Because of me again.

I'll take a jar
of honey, please.

They make great gifts
for family and friends.

I'll take five jars of honey.

Oh, you know what? Why
don't I hold onto this.

We've got lots
more stops to make.

Okay, honey for you
and money for you.

Thanks so much, Janice.
You keep the change.

Thank you. Merry Christmas!

That's it, right?

No more stops we have to make?

Yeah. I have tortured
you enough for one day.

Great.

Hey, you wanna have some fun?

Sure.

Okay! Three, two, one, go!

You already got one?

- Ah! Got one!
- How'd you do that?

What's the secret, guys?

Oh, man. He█s like a
helpless fish.

Hey, I wanted
to see if you needed

any help setting up market ball,

or I can help with your duties

at the Christmas market,
whatever you need.

You're so sweet. Thank you.

This is just getting
sad. I'll be right back.

Hey, there, little
guy. You need a hand?

- Hi, I, sure.
- Here, let me.

- You have to go slow.
- Okay.

- Easy.
- Uh huh.

- Nope.
- A-ha!

Whoa.

You're good.

We better get back.

Okay, sounds good.
Good luck, guys.

You know as much as you wanted
to give me a hard time today,

- I had fun.
- Oh.

I haven't had fun
like that in a while.

- Can I ask you something?
- Yeah, sure.

Why are you helping me?

Ah, I mean, I'm stuck here

and I guess I feel a
little responsible.

Oh, a little bit responsible?

It's like a hurricane
saying it's only

a little bit responsible
for flash floods.

Oh, wait, what am I?
A talking hurricane?

That is actually a perfect
description for you.

- Oh. Okay.
- Yeah.

Well, come on there, windy.

This place isn't
gonna decorate itself.

Right. Right, of course.

Woo! This box smells
like 1989.

Hey, so just so you know,

today wasn't only about
giving you a hard time,

it was so you could meet
the people of this community

and see how much the
market means to all of us.

And partially to
give you a hard time.

Ah.

Look, I know you probably
don't believe me,

but if I could find a way

to help you save
the market, I would.

I'm just doing my job.

Yeah, yeah. You,
you keep saying that.

Oh.
Probably not this one.

Okay. Come on in.

Wow. This is where
the magic happens, huh?

You can just put
that on the desk.

Wow, look at the detail. You
know, you really have a gift.

People would pay a lot
of money for these.

Well, thank you.

Between both my jobs and trying
to vanquish your evil plan

to destroy the town, I
really don't have the time.

Oh, careful! That's uh, the
only one my dad got to see.

Oh. Well, what did
he say when he saw it?

Uh, that he was proud of me.

Um, that I was a
dreamer, just like him.

Well, what's stopping you

from making this
dream a reality?

Because I'm way too busy
trying to keep his dream alive.

You know what I'm talking about.
You wanna be creative,

but you have an
obligation to your dad.

Yeah, but the difference
is I want to be creative,

but I'm not allowed to be.

You're allowed to be creative,
but you are choosing not to.

I'm not choosing not
to. It's a huge gamble.

Yes, this is my happy place,
but it's just a hobby.

If I let go of my
responsibility to my dad

to do this full time
and then I failed,

I█d never forgive myself.

Or you could be
wildly successful

and just live in your
happy place all the time.

And after what I saw today,
you're surrounded by people

who only wanna see each
other's dreams come true.

I wish I had that.

Well, I should probably
get back to this, so...

Okay, well, I should,
I should get going then.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Yes, I know, dad.

They assured me I'll
have the papers in hand

and signed by Christmas Eve.

Yes, I'm working on the designs.

I appreciate you going
out on a limb for me.

Yeah, I understand
what's at stake.

More than you know.

Have a great day,
guys. Here you are.

Oh, you didn't have to...

Everyone's a guest here no
matter what your agenda is.

How are your drawings
coming along?

Oh, they're,
they're just fine.

It's okay. I know
you have a job to do.

I'm gonna try this.

Mm-mm.

- That is really good.
- Of course it is.

It's made with only
locally sourced

and organic ingredients
from vendors

at the Christmas market.

I know I haven't had a
chance to say this yet,

but I really love the
architecture of this place--

Oh, thank you. Yeah.

It-it was in pretty
rough shape when we bought it,

but we fell in love with it.

So we put our hearts and
souls into fixing it up.

- Yeah, I can tell.
- Thank you.

Now that is a
beautiful picture.

- Is that Olivia's father?
- Yep. That's my Nathan.

Olivia mentioned
he was the one

who started the
Christmas market?

He did. Yeah, Nathan was
always dreaming up ways

to bring people together.

He believed that if you build
a place for people to gather,

people will gather and
create their own magic there.

You know, that's the exact
reason I got into architecture.

Oh.

Hasn't really worked out
that way for me yet though.

You know, some people
think that doing your job

and being happy are
two separate things.

They don't have to be.

Hmm, easier said
than done.

I don't even know how to begin.

Well, you could start here.

So how's
the plan coming?

Ah, well, I'm still at the,

I really hope I get
struck by lightning

and then wake up with
the perfect idea, phase.

- You? Hi.
- I thought I had

a great idea last night
where the town would lease

Archie's lot and you
could rent it out,

but I crunched the numbers and
it's just not in our budget.

No?

Zoey, I have four days and
my mind is literally blank.

You'll come up with
something, you always do.

You know, just take that
bold creativity you use

with your miniatures
and apply it to this.

If anyone can save
this place, it's you.

Now, how's it going
with Mr. Gorgeous?

Uh, fine? Zoey, why did
it have to be him?

I mean, when I met him, I
literally never would've guessed

he'd be the guy to say things
like, "I'm just doing my job."

Besides, I don't even think
he tried to contact me.

There was no phone
call, no text.

I don't think he tried
to stalk my social media.

Ugh. If I had a moment

like that with you
at the train station

and his chiseled jawline,

I wouldn't wait to
internet stalk you.

Maybe it just wasn't the
spark I thought it was.

- Maybe I made it up.
- Okay, I know I wasn't there,

but you definitely
didn't make it up.

There was a spark. It was fate.

I saw the way he looked at you.

You mean the combination
of shock and then regret?

No! there was something there.

I was lost in his
eyes and I saw it.

Also I understand why you made
a miniature of him before of me.

Like, I know he's
supposed to be the enemy,

- but...
- Okay, we get it.

He's good looking.

Gosh, I need a
boyfriend or a hobby.

Anyway, I have to get going.

- I will continue to brainstorm.
- Okay.

Don't let his charming
personality make you lose focus.

Right.

I feel like hanging
a mistletoe off the mantle

would be a lot easier.

Yeah, well, this is a
last-minute request from

- the notorious Mrs. Banks.
- Oh.

I'm not entirely
surprised though.

I feel like there may be some
ulterior motives at play.

At least four couples are
married 'cause of her meddling.

Huh. Has the market
always been here?

Well, Archie inherited the lot

right around when
my dad was feeling

really burnt out
and unhappy at work.

So when Archie asked
him for some advice

and something just sparked
in him. He quit his job.

He, he convinced my
mom to buy the B&B

and he came up with the idea
for the Christmas market.

It was always supposed to
be temporary, of course,

but two decades
later, here we are.

Okay, I have an
idea. Hear me out.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait. Let me guess.

You've decided not
to buy our land

and you are going
to quit your job

and rent a booth at the
market offering pet therapy.

- Ah, close, but no.
- No.

I was thinking how you
obviously don█t wanna end

the market and I don't wanna be
the one to take it from you.

If I just leave, then
they're just gonna

send someone else
in to do it for me.

And you don't have any
ideas how to stop the sale.

Yes, I do. I, I have
so many ideas, I...

Well, I will, I will have lots
of ideas when the time comes.

Why don't we come up
with a plan together?

A plan that saves the market

and one that makes my dad
happy and the company happy.

- What's the catch?
- No catch.

I just don't
want my dad to end this.

I see how magical
this market is.

I think it's something
worth saving.

Okay. I mean, if it won't
put you into hot water

with your dad and it
saves the market, I'm in.

- Great.
- What do you have so far?

Nothing. How about you?

Nothing.

Cool.

Oh.

Oh, we could
downsize the market

and create a seasonal festival
in front of the building.

I mean, that would generate
foot traffic and revenue.

This looks fantastic!

You guys are doing
such a great job.

- It is all her.
- Oh, yeah?

Oh, could you hold
those for me, honey?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Wow. Kayaking, camping.

These, these
prizes are awesome!

Yeah, you don't want
friends with cheap prizes.

No bath bombs here.

Mom, that's
the wrong one.

- What?
- It█s the market ball.

What is that? I
don't understand, honey.

You know what? I-

I think that maybe
I forgot something--

- Olivia!
- Would you guys just

excuse me for a moment?

She's very
good, isn't she?

She is amazing.

Yeah. I keep telling
her to take it further,

to turn it into something more

so that she can do what
she loves full time.

She said she's too busy.

Oh, I'll tell you something.

She's only too busy
because she chooses to be.

I think that being too busy

makes it easy to
miss possibility.

But ultimately,
it's her decision.

Hey, do you recognize somebody?

Is that...?

Oh my
gosh! Look at that.

Hey Archie, it's Olivia.

I think I might have
an idea for you.

The shipyard is giving away
two dozen shipping containers.

We would just have
to put a little bit

of work into fixing them up,

but you could have three
times the amount of tenants

with very little
capital investment.

And if you rented
them year round,

it would render
you a full salary.

Well, I don't get it. What
does it have to do with my lot?

We would move them
here and turn them

into real businesses.

They would be trendy
but professional.

Shipping container markets

are super popular all
around the country.

Okay, but how do
we get 'em here?

We would have to pay to
move them here, but that's it.

I know that I could
get local businesses

to donate painting
supplies and tools.

We could get volunteers
to do the electrical work

- and the installation.
- Okay, but who

is going to pay
for transportation?

It sounds very expensive.

So I haven't completely
worked it out yet, but I will.

I just need a little
bit more time.

Okay, I mean, I think it's
probably a wonderful idea,

but I really don't have
extra time to give.

Look, I need to
sell the lot now.

We said Christmas Eve.
Look I'm not saying no,

but I'd like to see a,

a full proposal laying
out all the costs.

Okay, yeah. I'll, I'll
work out all the details.

I think this could be
really great for everyone.

Everyone? What does our
property development

friend think about it?

So I haven't told
him about it,

- yet. But...
- Ah, okay.

We'll talk soon, kiddo.
All right, good night.

What happened to coming
up with a plan together?

One that helps both of us?

I know. I'm sorry.

It's just, I didn't wanna
waste any more time.

I mean, I already don't
have enough time as it is.

See, if Archie goes for this

and my dad doesn't get the lot,

then I put him in a
really difficult position

with the board and
I can't do that.

Okay. What if we
pitch him the idea?

Archie still gets
to sell to your dad,

we get to do the
shipping containers

and your company
makes all the profit.

He'll never go for it.

Come on! You don't
know what he's gonna say.

I know exactly
what he's gonna say.

Excuse me.

Weren't you the person
who had big dreams

of creating unique spaces
that brought people together

and made them feel inspired?

Okay, okay, fine. But
don't get your hopes up.

I think he's gonna be more
receptive than you think.

Absolutely not.
Shipping containers?

No, no. Grayson, what
are you doing out there?

Dad, I think it could
be a really cool idea.

It's just a little bit
outside the box is all.

Grayson, I want
you inside the box.

That's the whole
point of this deal,

which by the way, should
have been done by now.

Do you know what
would happen if I went

to the board with this idea?

I know. It's just,
it's complicated.

Well if it█s so complicated
maybe you should just come back.

I'll send somebody else
out there to get it done.

No, no, I got it handled dad.

Stick to the original plan?

- Yes, I will.
- Good.

You got one more chance.

Get the papers signed.
Come back home.

Okay I'm not an “I told
you so” kind of guy, but--

Why can nobody see what
I'm trying to do here?

Look, the thing is, my
dad is a great businessman,

but when it comes
to innovative ideas,

it just scares him, so.

Okay. Why don't we
just do two designs?

We'll do the traditional one
and then we can do our idea.

We'll video call your dad
into my meeting with Archie

and if he doesn't go for it,

you have your backup design
and I will accept defeat.

You will accept defeat?

I will behave in a manner

of someone who has
accepted defeat, yes.

Can you please, can you
please just help me with this?

Okay, all right, under
one condition though:

you make a miniature
version of your idea

and we pitch it at the meeting.

No, no, no, I can
just explain it to you,

and then you can draw it.

No, they need to see it!

Your pieces are so incredible

because your passion
shines through.

But we still have the
problem of the cost

of moving the
shipping containers.

Uh no, we█ll figure it out.

I have a feeling once
you'll blow them away

at the presentation, that'll
be a, a minor detail.

Okay, okay. Yes.

I will make a mini and
you'll do the drawings

and we'll work together.

- Great.
- Great.

- When do we start?
- Five hours ago.

Five hours ago.

- Yeah.
- Yeah. Um.

- You start sketching.
- Okay.

I cannot believe
how late it is.

Yeah. Time flies
when you're creating.

Wait.

Why haven't you
set this one up yet?

Uh well, that's why.

We have been trying to untangle
that thing since my dad passed.

There are government
encrypted codes

that are easier to crack
than that reindeer.

Okay.

What is it like seeing one
of your designs come to life?

Ah, honestly, exhilarating.

I felt the same way when you
decorated that Christmas tree.

Why didn't you call me?

Me? Well, you're the
one that just booked it

when I took my phone call.

I didn't book it. My,
my train was leaving.

I thought it was pretty obvious
that I wanted you to call me.

I left a card with my phone
number on it. I mean...

There was no card.

There was a card. I
left it on your satchel.

No, there was no card.

I, I mean, if there was a card,

you wouldn't have
made to the next city

without me calling you.

- Really?
- Yeah, that...

That day at
the train station,

it was, it was one of
the best days of my life.

And then you were
gone and...

I thought I
misunderstood the moment.

I thought
I misunderstood it.

Well, I, I guess
I should have known

once I saw the
miniature train station.

Ah, yes. You, you were, you
were not supposed to see that.

I actually, I like seeing
me three inches tall.

I just wanted to
remember the moment.

It's exactly
how I remember it.

Um, well, I've just got a
couple more things to do

and we're done.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Here, watch this.
- Okay. Huh.

Oh.

Wow. That
is really impressive.

Thanks.

I can't find
any way the town

could absorb the cost
of moving containers.

Oh, you've gotta
be kidding me.

They're committed to
a bunch of other projects.

I'll propose your idea to them,

but it could take months
to even bring to a vote.

Wait, months? Months, I do
not, I do not have months.

I, Zoey, I really
thought this was gonna work.

Don't give up.

I will keep asking around

and see if there's
any other answer.

I mean, I have transport
workers on payroll

so I could pledge our support,

but I don't know that
that's gonna make anything

- go faster.
- Okay...

You know how slow they move.

Thank you for trying.

Freshen you up?

Thank you, Eddie.

Can I just say,

I think it's great you're
fighting for the market.

Everyone in town
is rooting for you.

Thank you.
I appreciate it.

I thought I had a
really great idea,

but I just, I can't get
over this one hurdle.

What's the hurdle?

Well, I thought moving a
bunch of shipping containers

and turning them into
a year-round market

would be an attractive proposal.

That would be
great for our town.

Right? But I have
no way of moving them.

The cost is way too
high and I just,

I don't think I have enough time

to come up with an
alternative solution.

You know, your dad came
in here for many years,

sat in the same booth,
drank this same coffee,

problems just as
difficult as yours,

and he always came up
with the right answer.

So, you will too.

- It's in your genes.
- I hope so.

Oh. Um.

Oh no. It's on the house.

- Cover me for five minutes?
- Sure.

I have to go
talk to some people.

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

What are you two up to?

- Everybody ready?
- Yeah!

Santa can
see us now.

When I was a little kid,

I was worried Santa
couldn't see our house.

And every year, your dad
made sure he could.

Thank you.

I don't think I follow.

Why is the zoning
approval taking this long?

Well, I agreed
to let our market manager

draw up a proposal

and present it at
noon on Christmas Eve.

Yes, I heard.

Well, I really do
feel I owe it to her

to at least hear her out.

I spoke
with Grayson earlier.

We agreed to go with
the approved plan.

Really? Uh,

it seemed to me that he
was fine with waiting

to hear the alternative pitch.

Oh he was, was he?

I am shocked that that reindeer
is on the roof right now.

I think I'm more shocked than
if it was an actual reindeer.

My mom has been wanting
to put that up for years.

I mean, you made her so happy.

Well, I mean,
well, uh, us. Uh...

Uh, both of us. You made,
you made me really happy.

Good. I mean, making
you happy makes me...

Happy. I don't know what
I'm saying right now.

It's okay.

Listen, if you want
any help taking it down,

I might know a guy
that, you know,

could come back and
help you do that.

Oh, oh, you, you, you
know a guy. What's he like?

Oh, he's charismatic, charming.

Mm. Sounds promising.

Mm. He's uh tall,
rugged, wears a red coat,

has a long gray beard, has
a really funny laugh.

It's weird because I thought

you were talking
about somebody else,

- but, yeah.
- Oh, really?

Would you really come back?

I mean, if you
want me to, I could.

Yeah. I, I think
that I, I would.

- Oh.
- You should

probably get that.

- Yeah, uh.
- You know what? I,

better go to bed anyways.

- Big day tomorrow.
- Yeah.

Well, great. I█ll see you
at the market tomorrow?

- Yeah, see you.
- Okay.

Tomorrow, okay.

- Good night.
- Yeah.

You don't know any
really rich people

who just love giving
their money away, do you?

I don't know anyone
who fits the bill

to either part of that sentence.

What am I gonna do?

You are going to show
everyone your beautiful diorama

that you made and the
sketches that handsome made.

- Grayson.
- I said Grayson.

Show them what you guys did

and they will perfectly
see your vision.

They'll be so overwhelmed

with the sheer
brilliance of it all,

that no one's even gonna
talk about the cost

of moving the containers.

You're gonna have an
amazing time tonight.

And you're not gonna worry
about what happens tomorrow.

Now, the most
important question,

have you decided on what
you're going to wear yet?

No. I mean what do you think?

Well, it depends on
what you're trying to say.

- Okay.
- This one is

romantic and elegant
and says, Grayson,

won't you dip me under
the moonlight stars?

And this one is fun
and flirty and says,

oh my gosh, Grayson,
you're here.

It's so random.
How random is that?

Is it bad that I just sort
of wanna burn both of them now?

Okay, then what
do you want the vibe to be?

I don't know what the vibe is.

You like him, don't you?

Yeah, I really do.

Go with the red.

We keep having these
moments though where I think

something's gonna
happen and then it doesn't.

Hmm. Go with the silver.

He's been so nice
and so helpful,

which is weird considering
the circumstances, so.

Don't overthink it.
Fate brought him here!

Fate? I don't know about that.

Come on, what are the odds
that the guy of your dreams

who you meet at a train station

is the same person who's
going to buy your lot?

- That's fate.
- That's terrible.

No. You know
what else is fate?

A handsome city planner walked
into my office a few days ago

and is now accompanying
me to the market ball.

- Ah! You have a date?
- Yeah.

I didn't wanna distract
you, but I'm so excited.

- Hey dad.
- Son.

How nice of you
to take my call.

Sorry, I, I've been busy,

Busy building the
design we agreed on?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

I've never known you to
take this long with a design.

Is there something else
distracting you perhaps?

Something like
shipping containers again?

Dad, yes, yes.

I, I, I did what you asked,

but I'm also helping someone
out with an alternative idea.

Look, these people, they,

they deserve a chance
to save their market.

And we want you to video
chat in on the next meeting.

Just, just please
just hear her out.

Grayson, this is
just how we do things.

This is how we've
always done things.

Think of the dedicated
employees at the company.

They all get their
Christmas bonus

if we close this deal now.

Dad, just because we've done
something one way forever,

it doesn't mean we have to
keep doing it like that.

I mean, it's not all about
corporate duty, is it?

Well, tell me
what I'm up against.

You're not up
against anything.

She just wants a chance to
explain her idea in detail

so everyone can see
the value in it.

Then give me the gist.

Don't let me go in there
and get blindsided.

Let me at least plan
something from my end.

Come on, Grayson. I'm your dad.

Okay.

I'm so sorry to
interrupt, Olivia,

but I wanted to
give you something.

What is it?

Your family has always done
so much for our community

and you never ask
for anything in return.

So I canvased all the
downtown store owners

and well, this is our
way of saying thank you.

I, I, I don't know
if it's enough

to move all the containers
you need to move,

but I hope it's a good start.

I, I, I literally
don't know what to say.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

And Olivia, Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Wow.

Can you believe this?

I sure can, yes. And
you deserve all of it.

Olivia, now about tomorrow,
I, I just need you to--

Hi, so sorry. Can I steal
you away for a second?

- Sure, sure...
- But I need to talk

- to you after, okay?
- I'll be right back.

Grayson's dad is
here to close the deal.

- Like, here here?
- Yes!

What are you doing here?
We said video chat, remember?

Well, I had to come in person

to see this famous
pitch tomorrow.

My son filled me in on
some of the details,

but I was curious how
you felt about a bunch

of shipping containers
piled on your lot.

Well, I don't have
all the details yet,

but I assure you Olivia
can fill us in tomorrow.

This must be the
famous Olivia now.

I█m Bill.

I, I know who you
are. Um, what's going on?

Well, I just came
to get this whole situation

resolved quickly.

If you sign now, everybody can
enjoy Christmas and move on.

But I still get
until tomorrow, right?

Yes, but there's still
the issue of the cost

of transporting all those
shipping containers to the lot.

You told him?

And for your information,

that's not going to be a problem

because I have the
money right here.

Wow, this is a
formidable effort,

but that won't pay half the
cost of moving those things.

The rest is gonna
have to come out

of Archie's pocket, or mine.

This actually could lose money.

I'm sorry. Olivia,
it was a noble effort.

Wait, so that's it?
It's just, it's just over?

I don't even get to
tell you my idea?

I'm gonna take his offer.

So we can put all
of this behind us.

Excuse me.

How could you?
So much for fate.

Why can't you see I'm trying

to build on the
company's legacy?

Archie, have you
forgotten why you

and Nathan started
this whole thing?

He came to you with a wild
idea and you embraced it

and you created something so,
so special to the whole town.

Do you remember the year
we had that big snowstorm

and our families all hunkered
down together for days?

We shared all of our
meals and we played

way too many games, remember?

With the kids while
we were waiting

for them to clear the roads?

We're family, Archie.

Give Olivia the chance
to show you her plan.

I'm sorry, dad.

I can't help but
notice something missing

from your market display.

I wish he was here.

Hey, do you remember the
woman we bought this place from?

Hmm? No?

Her name was Magda Willowcroft.

Isn't that fabulous?

She didn't wanna sell,

but needed a lot of work and
she couldn't afford to do it.

So, and we didn't
have much money.

So our offer was the
lowest one that she got,

but the higher bids were
from people who wanted

to tear it down and
build something new,

and oh, he loved this house.

So your dad,

he went to Mrs.
Willowcroft and he told her

if she were willing
to sell to us,

that he would restore her
house to its original glory

and turn it into a B&B
so that people could

enjoy the magic at this
place for decades to come.

I didn't know that.

I guess what I'm saying is
sometimes people will consider

more than money if
there's a bigger picture.

Sweet girl, you have
a bigger picture.

You just need to
let them see it.

But,

it doesn't matter anymore 'cause
Archie accepted the offer.

He didn't.

- What?
- I have known

Archie a very long time.
Believe me when I tell you,

that
meeting is still on.

- It is?
- Yes.

And you're gonna
blow them away

because your idea is creative
and innovative and personal.

And when they see it, they
won't be able to say no.

I think you have given
me a brilliant idea.

- I did?
- Yeah.

Great.

I love you, mom.

Oh, I love you, sweet thing.

- Cocoa?
- Always.

Hmm.

Hmm. Delicious, hmm.

If only there was a way
to offset transport costs.

I don't have time
right now, Grayson.

Just hear me out, please?

You sold me out and you
left me looking foolish.

Look, I had no idea my dad
was gonna show up like that.

Look, he asked me to tell
him what we're up to.

It's hard for me to see my dad
as an adversary. He's my dad.

He always justifies
his actions as,

"It's not personal,
it's just business."

But tonight, I realized
it's always personal

to those who lose everything.

I don't think I'm cut out to,
to take over his business.

I'm so sorry. I also
want to give you these.

You had this the whole time?

Yeah, meeting at
the train station was

more than just a moment to me.

Grayson, wait. Is
this what I think it is?

- Yeah.
- But what about the cost?

Oh, there is no
cost. Take a look.

Is this really gonna work?

Yeah.

Okay. Well, then
where are you going?

No matter what
happens tomorrow,

you know, I still truly believe

you can do this professionally.

I mean, if your dad could
see what you just built,

I'm sure he'd be so proud.

Yours would too,
if he could just see

the value that you bring.

Thanks.

Hey, nice scarf, by the way.

Oh, yeah. I got
talked into buying it.

Hmm. Well it really suits you.

Hmm.

Goodnight.

Bye.

It's wonderful. Oh,
bon apetite, enjoy.

Excuse me.
Are you ready?

You look ready, honey.

Yeah. Grayson's not in his
room and his stuff is gone.

He was supposed to help
me with this meeting.

Well, I'm sure he
just went for a walk

or something, honey,
just to clear his head.

Okay, but what if
he doesn't come back?

I cannot
do this alone, mom.

Yes you can. Honey,
you were born to do this.

Everything's gonna be all right.

First rule of business,
never let him see us sweat.

- Is that the first rule? I--
- It's a rule.

Uh, top five maybe.

- Okay
- Hey, show me your game face.

There she is. I'm gonna
wait outside, okay?

I got this.

Thank you everyone for,
for coming.

When I was a kid,

my dad would bring me to the
market while he was running it

and I got to see him
in his happy place.

I got to see all of
these amazing vendors

selling their items with
such joy on their faces.

Bill, this is the
place where I learned

that having a job
and being happy,

they don't have to be
completely different ideas.

I found my happiness
building miniatures.

But when my father passed away,

I had to put that aside in favor

of running this market for him.

And it wasn't until
I met your son

that I finally realized
that my sense of duty,

it did not need to come
before my happiness.

I could do both.

Which is why we
came up with this.

We'd like you to build a
co-working office space

with a shipping container
market incorporated on site.

Now not only would this
provide significant space

for businesses, but the
container market would allow

for workshop spaces for kids,

oh, and a cafe to
host community events.

Look, before you
mention money,

you would be eligible for
a significant tax subsidy

from the state only
available to new builds,

which incorporate community
spaces right into the design.

In other words,
you'd be making money

on this deal and saving it.

Here.

Archie, you've been
just as much a part

of this market as my dad was.

And I would absolutely
love nothing more

than to carry it
on in your honor.

That's why we're gonna
call it The Arch,

because it's personal,
it's not business.

This is incredible.

It's better than I could
have ever imagined.

What do you say, Bill?

My son helped you with this?

Yes. We came up
with it together.

We wanted to show you
that creative spaces,

they do have commercial value,
and clearly the state agrees.

You just need to think a
little bit outside of the box.

When I took over this
business from my father,

he taught me to stick to
tradition, to what works.

What has always worked
is building places

that promote productivity.

I don't embrace change. Change
comes with financial risk.

The board has actually been
talking about co-work spaces,

but I couldn't actually
see it until now.

It's interesting that
you brought up the fact

that business and happiness

don't have to be
mutually exclusive.

You might be right because
nothing would make me happier

than to build this
in Archie's lot.

Oh, really!

Yes!

Weaver, we have a deal.

Not yet.

The only way I will sign this

is if Olivia gets a space to
start selling her miniatures

and running that
amazing workshop

more than just at Christmas.

Archie.

It's okay with me.

But I have, I have the B&B
to run and I have the market.

Oh honey, I can handle the B&B.

And I can take over
your duties at the market.

And we'll help him.

Olivia, you are
much too talented

not to take this further.

What do you say?

Uh, I, I say you have a deal.

I did not expect to be
saying yes to you today,

but how could I say no?

I'm very proud of my son.
He is a talented designer.

Where is he? He was
supposed to help me with this.

Oh, he's headed
to the train station

on his way back to Harrisburg.

Grayson resigned from
the company this morning.

But before he did,

he made me promise to
listen very carefully

to what you had to say,
and I am glad I did.

He did?

I have to see him.

Well, his train's got a
layover in Philadelphia.

If you hurry, you
could still make it.

We will take care
of the paperwork. Go!

Go!

- Okay.
- Go, go, go, go!

Okay, I'm going.
I'm good to go.

Wait.

- This is yours now.
- Thank you.

Okay!

Wait. Oh, Zoey, Zoey, Zoey.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

Bye, baby.

Oh!

It's a tiny Zoey.

A tiny Zoey.

- Hey.
- I made the deal.

You did? Which one?

Olivia's. You were
right, I was wrong.

I got so caught up
in what used to work

I couldn't see the future,
but more importantly,

I forgot to put my
son before business.

I'm sorry. I should
have listened to you.

Thanks, Dad.

I know you have to move
on, do your own thing,

but even though we won't
be working together,

I'll still be your
biggest supporter.

- I love you, dad.
- Love you too, son.

I guess there
was a card after all.

You know this tree
has a serious plan

- to bring us together.
- Mm-hm.

Like I guess
congratulations are in order.

I spoke to my dad. You
really blew him away.

Well. I mean, you
helped, a little.

I█m sorry I didn't show up,

but I knew this was
something you needed

to do on your own and
I knew you'd be great.

Well, you were right.

I didn't realize it
at the time, but,

I did need to do it on my own.

Um, why are you
quitting the company now?

Grayson, the deal's done.
Everyone is so happy.

Well, what we did
together convinced me

that I can follow my own path.

You know, design spaces
that can make a difference.

And while I liked
working with my dad,

wasn't so nice working for him.

You know, I realized
that my dad's legacy

is gonna live on in the hearts

of everybody who loved him.

It's not my responsibility
to hold it anymore.

I need to focus on my passions.

So, what do we do now?

I don't know. I mean,

I've heard that there's
a shipping container office

being built that could use a
creatively-minded architect.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Interesting.
- I know.

I'm gonna look into that.

Who knew when we decided

to decorate this
random Christmas tree

it was gonna change
our lives like this?

I didn't, train
station companion.

Me neither, delayed stranger.

You know, I think
you just gave me

an idea for a new display.

Great.
