oh yeah i'm gonna put some water on the

boil to make some cocoa

can we just stay here forever yeah

yeah we could become hermits i could

grow my beard out real long

you ever get that feeling like

you get where you are and then suddenly

you remember again

you just filled with joy type in about

an hour ago to be out on the trails

[Music]

so i guess we gotta get back to our real

life huh

i asked billy to clear my whole schedule

through the holidays

not a tour date or an appearance until

the new year

i wanted our first christmas as a family

to be special we can bake cookies we can

build snow forts you don't even bake

yeah we'll get an apron and uh watch

some videos online

lucky one

[Music]

i remember last year when he came over

to my place and we decorated the tree

together

so how long you gonna hide out here

well i haven't really thought about it i

didn't realize how much i missed the

piece of quiet

you like this little town yeah most

people can't wait to get out of here

most people they want to get out of a

small town because they're

searching for something right and they

think they can find that in a bigger

city

new well i've been to

just about every big city there is and i

can tell you that

finding happiness isn't about how many

intersections there are

[Music]

and where do you find happiness it's

just about the people you're with and

the experiences you have it's about

moments being happy is not just about

big days with big wins it's

about those little moments

[Music]

there you go

oh i also want to add some new

traditions jim

i was thinking we could make a star for

the top of the tree like my mom used to

or we could make my aunt gladys butter

cookies or

make my dad's famous christmas roast

beef dinner huh or anything else you

want to add please just tell me

had so many christmases out on the road

hello janet

[Music]

john

um this is quinn's grandfather

oliver's dad john good to meet you

thank you

quinn grandpa

[Music]

wow

[Music]

we haven't seen you since quinn was a

baby

since oliver's funeral i know

i'm sorry i was out of the country all

those shoes

but it was a good time to come back and

see quinn

and the family of course

[Music]

john just arrived and we've been

catching up

we're happy to have you i'm sorry i

shouldn't have showed up unannounced i

should have called no nonsense

family's always welcome especially at

christmas

stay as long as you'd like didn't mean

to impose

but uh that's a mighty kind offer you

make yourself at home john

thank you can we

get you a drink yes

[Music]

zayn i'm sorry john just arrived

completely unannounced

can't be easy coming back after all

these years no

he is bringing a lot of memories of

oliver you know i'm okay with that

quinn was so young when oliver died and

now she gets a chance to get to know her

father better through her grandfather

it's gonna be a little strange for

jeanette though

yeah it might but at the end of the day

family's family

and now we have one more to add to the

dinner table christmas here here

well it is a little chilly in here i'm

gonna go split some wood and get the

fire going oh great

okay watch my coffee i will

[Music]

you have a great husband there yeah i

really do

he seems genuinely happy that john is

here

yeah he knows the importance of family

especially around the holidays he could

be tough on him though you know john

brings all those memories of quinn's

father

you're right but talked a lot about it

and we don't have any secrets

except what i'm getting him for

christmas oh

we finally found something for the man

who has everything

[Music]

yeah i think i did

it's everywhere you go

pretty lights and mistletoe look outside

it's getting ready to snow before

christmas and all through the

[Music]

[Music]

a cheer most wonderful time of year

it's christmas time it's here again

i need water you know i need my voice to

be the way

you know that do not worry for one

second

i've read your writer and i follow all

your social posts so no need to worry

i know all your likes and dislikes oh

yay

oh thank you oh i love straws not

plastic ones

of course you did good jc these are

paper

such a pretty color

oh did i tell you i bought seven new

cars seven

lucky seven which one handles the best

i don't drive of course you don't

but they're all pretty colors

[Music]

sounds like a hit to me i guess i'm just

nervous about grandpa

yeah yeah i get that you never really

got a chance to know him

but i think you're going to feel great

when you talk to him he's going to have

all sorts of stories about your dad

yeah i think it'll be good just

kind of sad bittersweet wow many great

songs are written about yourself

you should write a song a bitter sweet

one but my dad

that's a great idea yeah you know

remembering and thinking about your dad

it's very important you know but i don't

think this song is going to be very sad

because he was a hero you want a medal

of honor

he's very brave and he's your family

that's the most important part of life

you're my family too right

i sure am never doubt that

[Music]

so for this song what do you want to say

about your dad

i guess i'm just kind of sad i don't

really remember him

because i was so little i don't really

know how to miss him

well then let's start there all right

three two one

you owe me an explanation

too many christmass have gone by without

you being around

coin hasn't received so much as a

birthday card

i know i'm sorry i

i don't know how i let that much time

pass

i i was devastated right

we both were obviously

i don't know more time passed the harder

it was to pick up the phone

can't imagine what you went through

was he a child

[Music]

why were you gone for so long

i needed someone around who knew oliver

for coin and for me jeanette i know it

was difficult for you

i know it was difficult for gwen but you

need to understand

no father should have just outlive his

son

[Music]

last month i spent another anniversary

of all of his death alone

[Music]

and all came back call the

staff sergeant's voice

[Music]

and it nearly broke me and that's when i

knew

i needed my family now you and quinn are

all i had left

and i thought maybe you needed me too

more than you know john

and now that i'm back i see quinn

and she has his eyes i am ashamed

that i like that much time guys i'm so

sorry

oh you're here now

and you're gonna make christmas so much

more meaningful

[Music]

i want going to know all about oliver's

childhood that's something you can fill

in for her

thank you and maybe in time

[Music]

you could forgive me

[Music]

i was thinking could grandpa come with

us to the tree farm tomorrow

not sure if he has a warm enough coat

yes

come on girls let's make some noise

uh cut i guess um

do you want me to help you with the high

notes jd

it's jolene jaden's better

that's free jolene's the name my mama

gave me

and lots of people know me by it oh

that's nice

how many cake you are a superstar

so why don't you settle back and relax

for the shoot and we'll be ready to go

in just a minute oh red straws again

i wish you would get me green

straws for christmas

that was really good you know what else

is good me

you know chris is right cake is massive

in a whole

market but it's a market that's wide

open and they deserve to know

what a powerhouse you are i know

but ugh i guess it's not the worst idea

see chris said you come around accepting

this challenge does not mean that i'm

even remotely close to being okay with

this whole thing

but in the spirit of christmas let's

just get it over with

dude guys brilliant cake moment

when we tour we should do jay dean

screen in black and white

for your old people fans

all right we'll do this and then one

more

[Music]

what's his problem

there's my beautiful wife

sorry i'm late john and i were catching

up that's okay

it's nice that he's he's involved again

it's a blessing john coming back into

your life and quits

what is it i'm just a little confused

i mean why'd he come back now where's he

been all these years

losing oliver was devastating for him

i think we reminded him of his past

but he feels terrible about not being

around and

he's ready to make amends to be part of

quinn's life of course

every kid needs their grandparents i am

happy that he's back

and in time for christmas too your life

with oliver and his family's important

part of your past

quinn's past saying

i love you to my core

now we have a future our future

yes we do

you know maybe it's not the right time

to bring up the adoption papers with

quinn

with john showing up and it being

christmas you know

oh i think christmas is the perfect time

okay but i would like to talk to john

about it first

you know make sure he knows how much

quinn means to me it's how important it

is

that i become her legal guardian

i think he'd appreciate that he's a good

man

i'm so lucky i found you yes you are

oh coin wants john to come with you guys

to get the tree is that okay uh yeah of

course

yeah let's get this ho ho ho business

started

[Music]

what do you think jolo do you like these

moves there's something all right

right i knew you'd appreciate them

[Music]

i'll be right back oh take your time now

you gotta give them my

options speak of the devil

how's the shoot going how do you think

it's going

hey has jeanette mentioned that oliver's

dad's come to visit

he hasn't seen quinn in 11 years what

kind of grandfather stays away like that

well mine but uh

no no that's not normal zane's been

dreaming of this big family christmas

and i just hope that john is here to

support them

and not drum up feelings from the past

i'm sure he has his reasons

oh i gotta go

all right i love you mama bear

love you too bye

oh guys this hot chocolate is not that

chocolatey

chocolate please

hang on might be some nice ones over

there i'll catch up with you too all

right

okay what do you think of this one

huh you know this is just like the ones

that we used to pick when we were kids

and we liked them because they took a

little more love to let their beauty

shine through

i love it you do you sure yeah it's not

too

big it's not too small it's just right

like me

do you think your mom will like it no

what

she'll love it like i said it's just

right

quinn i found the perfect tree it's huge

just the way your dad always liked them

he's always wanted the biggest one in

the lot

taller the better what do you say should

we get it yeah let's find out it touches

the ceilings it's the size

of the whole entire living room zayn you

want to help us

yeah sure let's do it here

[Applause]

[Music]

yeah got it yeah you're good yeah

[Applause]

i'm going to the hot chocolate check all

right okay

[Music]

hey johnnette i really want you to know

that you're

you're very welcome here thank you

i can't say i feel deserving of that hey

loss is a terrible thing

we lost our parents when we were all

young still think about them all the

time

especially during the holidays

i'm happy jeanette found love again

you're good for

and quinn too

[Music]

i don't know if this is the right timing

but i just wanted to let you know that

jeanette and i have been talking about

me becoming quinn's legal parent

[Music]

i know you're gonna be a good father i

can tell

you love them both and you look after

them fine

and i suppose that's all oliver and i

could have asked for him

i'm sensing a butt but i am concerned

about her growing up in the spotlight

you chose that life she didn't i mean

you know what the tabloids are like

vultures

see it on the news every night i'm

worried about her being around that

being exposed to that all to be honest

i'm a little concerned myself but

you need to know john that i will do

everything in my power to make sure she

stays out of the tabloids

and has as normal of an upbringing as

possible

also you weren't thinking of changing

your last name were you

i mean that's oliver's child even looks

like him she's a knives through and

through

no of course not john i want to respect

the family name

oliver will always be her dad nothing

can change that

i just want to be your legal guardian

what's taking so long you want me to

grab the tree and take it home all by

myself because i will

hi spirit isn't she just like her mom

just like a dad

can we go to the christmas market i

really need to get a special present

oh i haven't been one of them in years

they still got apple cider

i could use one after all this

lumberjack business

yeah me too yeah let's do it come on can

we text mom maybe she can come too

yeah of course it's a great idea

thank you so much

thank you i'm sorry why do people always

want your picture

well that is a very good question just

because they like the music i write

so they feel a connection to me and i

suppose taking pictures is a nice way to

make a deeper connection

so are you like famous a little bit

as famous as cake i've been told that

i'm not

oh yeah hey zane you guys going back for

the holidays

quinn quinn what's on your list for

santa come on man kids are off limits

you know that

all right i'm just trying to enjoy the

holidays with my family come on zayn

don't be like that your fans want to see

this

how about a sweet pig you and quinn here

having a great time at the christmas

market fans will eat it up

no no no more pictures you need to move

on come on really

i'm trying to be nice here then stop

taking pictures

okay okay i get it

i'm just trying to make a living this is

the price you pay for all that fame and

money

what did you say now that

just gave up your rights privacy when

you dropped your first single

and you got married you chose to expose

your family and all this

hey hey batman okay

queen see this you're all my witnesses

zayn gunther assaulted me oh come on

you saw that he hit me what i saw was

you coming after my daughter

you have no right oh i have every right

[Music]

snaps for no reason exactly like i just

wanted

autograph from the guy now look at me

zane gunther i'm a huge fan can i get a

photo hey back up

pretty crazy considering his reputation

for being notoriously nice right

yeah and his wife even witnessed the

whole thing but then she's all like

trying to pretend like it didn't happen

smoking gun

his wife seems to have stirred things up

maybe the

honeymoon is over but you didn't hear

that here

i don't start rumors sure you do benny

hey if zayn loses it what are we to say

maybe he should have married another

country star hotness cancels out hotness

that's good but his wife is super sweet

and pretty

sweet doesn't keep the lights on in a

marriage you know what i mean

[Music]

can i get a photo i back off turn that

down

tabloids edited it to make it look worse

than it was i was only trying to protect

quinn

these people are ruthless

i can't believe coin was in the middle

of it i feel like i'm gonna hear about

this from john

what do you mean he said that he has his

concerns about how i could protect queen

from this life she didn't choose

he can't just come in here after all

these years and tell us what to do

i just wanted this christmas to be

special

peaceful it's me you and quinn

i feel terrible i quit got involved with

this

and i feel like i have to justify my

place in the family

well what do you want to do confront

john i can talk to him

nah maybe this whole thing will blow

over but john's concerns are real

and i've got the paparazzi hounding me

pr team's freaking out

and we can't even leave the house

without sneaking out the back door

sometimes i have my doubts if i can

protect you and quinn

listen we're not the first family to go

through a situation during the holidays

we're gonna get through it

and hey maybe jolene's christmas eve

show would be the perfect time for you

to come back in the public in a good

light

yeah what'd i do without you

i love you i love you too cowboy

[Music]

sorry zane didn't think anyone else was

up yeah i was

having no trouble sleeping same

oh yes

trying to understand what to do here

zane

questioning the extent to what you're

putting my granddaughter in danger

and my daughter-in-law look with these

videos i mean

people only see one side of things

that's hardly the point

we can both agree the most important

thing is that quinn feels safe

and i saw a flashier temper today and

quite frankly you're in no position to

protect her

there's so many people around you and i

know your fans are trying to help but

they were part of the problem

john you need to know that quinn's

safety is always my priority

you didn't see everything i mean they

edit these videos to make them look

worse than they are

i know i didn't see everything but you

know what i did see fear

in my granddaughter's eyes oliver

would have acted differently well

with all due respect john oliver wasn't

in the public eye like i am

now it's not easy sometimes but at least

i've been here

trying to give jeannette and quinn a

real family i

am her real family and yes i was away

for a while but

john i i didn't mean like that

i know

[Music]

i know you're a good person saying

just a word grandpa

[Music]

and i do want to be part of the solution

not the problem

[Music]

to the man of this family getting along

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

ah

this little snowstorm is the perfect

excuse to stay inside

how'd it go with john well

i admitted that i'm far from perfect

when it comes to dealing with the

negative press

but i think he understands i have her

family's best interest in heart

we all know that see what i'm worried

about

i just wanted our christmas together to

be perfect

you know it's all i wanted it is gonna

be perfect

because we're all here together that's

what matters

[Applause]

you're right you know we should count

our blessings

we got married this year three of us

became a family

exactly there's a lot of love in our

world and plus we're all healthy

we've got a roof over our head i love

you guys

i love you too

you know i think you're wiser than all

of us put together

i agree oh and i preheated the oven

right and gladys butter cookies

you know i'm not sure that you can

measure flour a man can learn

he's motivated okay i will measure and

you can start

[Music]

deal

looks amazing well you definitely

inherited your mom's decorating skills

ah can we just stay in and ignore

everyone till christmas opening

oh yeah that sounds like a good plan we

could

stay in our pjs order pizza for

christmas dinner and miss out on my

roast beef

starting to think you're questioning my

cooking skills

hey didn't you want a smaller tree yeah

yeah but apparently oliver

liked having a big tree and quinn and

john were excited to honor that

hey can you help me put grandpa's angel

on top of the tree yeah

yeah of course

okay isn't she beautiful

very beautiful yeah you know grandpa

told me that

she was my dad's grandmother she's mine

well christmas definitely brings up lots

of memories of family

you know i see here my mom made it

herself

i like to think there's still a bit of

light left from her

i love it now we have memories from both

sides of our family on this tree

we sure do

all right it's pretty tall we might need

a ladder i think we can do it

you think so yeah can you jump up there

oh yeah

let's use this paper jolene i think the

babies will

love it i think it's perfect did you

make this scarf

not personally but my church group did

your group sure does have a lot of

presents for people that don't have any

well i think that everyone deserves to

open a gift on christmas morning

don't you i know it

[Music]

hey have you got your gifts for zane and

your mom yet

i made my mom a coupon book every time

she cashes them out to me

i'll do things like empty the dishwasher

clean my room stuff that she likes that

is so thoughtful

i throw in a whole bunch for hugs and

sandwiches

sometimes moms need someone to make them

lunch

especially your mom she works so hard

and i have an idea of what to get zane

but i'm gonna need some help

well i don't like to brag but i am a

good helper

what are you thinking

[Music]

it's been nice spending time with you

and quinn she really loves having you

around

we all do that's about the nicest thing

anybody said to me in years

i mean it it's really important for a

kid to have a grandparent growing up

well i'm always going to regret missing

those early years but

i do intend to make it up to her now i

was thinking as a christmas present

what about a horse

that's a really generous gift but

actually zayn was thinking about getting

her a pony

hey there ladybug hi

how was helping jolene we wrapped a lot

of presents

quinn i was about to go shopping you

want to come with me mom can i

of course good cause jolene told me

about this awesome store and i really

want to go

wow look at those eyes huh you look so

much like your father

he loved christmas too he loved just

about everything about winter especially

skiing with you

oh yeah every october he used to just

scatter his ski equipment all across the

hallway just waiting for the first snow

sounded like he really loves skiing and

he was good at it

even won a few races you know i bet

you're an amazing skier

i've never been skiing before what well

jeanette we'll have to work that out

i think so all right let's get shopping

[Music]

see you later have fun

[Music]

jingle bells jingle bells

jingle all the way

oh what fun it is to ride in a

one horse open sleigh

jingle bells jingle bells

jingle all the way

oh what fun it is to ride in a one

horse open sleigh

[Applause]

okay zayn you get in some practice don't

let that ego

run wild even talented musicians like

you can do with some practice

yeah okay bye

what's the word zane's running all over

the house hiding christmas presents till

santa comes

i told him to pick the songs for my

concert

i meant the video any follow-up

oh they're just hunkering down at the

house

trying to stay away from long lenses

it's the best way to get things to calm

down

and zane knows that after all this time

[Music]

huh please give me some good news

well i have some i'm not sure you're

gonna like the good news

and what would i not like about good

news your christmas song with cake

just hit number one you're kidding me

like it's almost as big as the halftime

show at super bowl

you are kidding me see the numbers

you have got to be kidding me i mean

that is

more likes than i've ever seen

i'm not done with cake gemma

[Music]

your own virgin mother and child

mild sleep in

a half only peace

congrats on that

my fans love me how'd you come up with a

song

so i was talking to all of my cake pops

i am very active on social media and i

love my followers and that boy 04

said you should write a song about

depression and anxiety

at christmas and it just hit me

in all of my feels and you guys we are

just so

blessed like not everyone has that you

know

that makes complete sense oh cake

[Music]

woo i love this song it's so

good it is catching chicken oh fantastic

[Music]

sounding pretty good in here why cowboy

you fingers are getting a little sore

though i'm just about to pack it in

hey you know where quinn is i want to

teach her how to build that snow fort

she went to the christmas parade with

john

the paparazzi don't know him so she

should be fine

right well i guess we should just be

happy that she has her grandma back

i know things haven't gone as planned

but

he really loves her and he hasn't had

any family in so long

yeah you're right

[Music]

do you want to go for a walk get some

fresh air

yeah now it's a great idea

[Music]

oh i love a clear winter's night

sparkles in the snow

[Music]

there we go

that's nice

[Music]

you know if we keep walking that way

we'd run right into the old

gun through family homestead

[Music]

thinking about it live just being a kid

growing up there

similar times

no fuss press no media

sounds like a good place with good

people

[Music]

thanks for this you always know how to

make me feel better

i'll always be there for you cowboy

[Music]

my

[Music]

uh

what are you doing here i thought you

were out of town for the holidays ah my

plans changed so

here i am what are you working on uh

just uh some new stuff feeling a little

housebound so

what's nice here working on some new

music dad would be so proud of you

yeah yeah you sure love this christmas

music even more than mom loved her

garden

you remember dad used to dress up like

santa every year and

dance with mom even when he knew that we

knew

it was him yeah he learned how to make

christmas dinner just so mom had a day

to put her for you

i really missed him yeah me too

all right brother i know you too well

sensing something's off

what's up isn't that obvious yeah

i know you want to make an amazing

christmas for your family

but i'm guessing things aren't going

according to plan

how did you get so smart i was born

smart

start talking

it's this whole mess with the tabloids i

feel terrible that quinn's involved and

right before christmas too and we can

barely leave the house

how's it supposed to be a great

christmas it's not that you're mostly

stuck in your house

you've had bad press before something

else

yeah it's john

or at least all the memories of oliver

he brings with him

i'm trying real hard here but i feel

like i'm competing with him

to be honest i wish he hadn't come back

i feel terrible for saying that

i'm here if you need excellent it's good

to see you too

[Music]

am i putting too much candy in here no

more candy the better kids at church are

gonna love it

did you hear the bear and viola show

cake put a bounty out on the paparazzo

that provoked zayn

what like a hit no like a call to her

fans to get to the truth

ah the cake pops

what cake pops cake fans

and how do you know that i'm hips i know

the lingo

yeah by that saying i can tell you are

not

yeah you're right but quinn's a cake pop

of course she is bless her heart

how's she getting on with john she loves

him

and he's good to her too

it's just been hard on playing you know

having my past just there in the living

room

it wouldn't be so hard if john didn't

have such strong opinions about

what oliver would and wouldn't want for

christmas

look honey family's a balancing act

look at me and chris there were a few

christmases that we were split up

but he's the father of my children and

we sat in church and worked through it

and you and zayn need to work this

through you need to do what's right for

quinn and you guys

john knows that she needs both

yeah you're right

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

so

[Music]

hey buddy what's up hey i'm just at the

diner and

john's here scuttles bags with them

all right see if you can install i'll be

right there

[Music]

nice buddy oh yeah enough to let me grow

your credit card and buy a christmas

gift

no you're the toughest guy to buy for

is he taken

i said shouldn't you be at home with the

girls

can't imagine you want me there

look i didn't like how we left things

off

i'm sorry if i offended you or made you

feel unwelcome

at all well i'm sorry too

staying away so long i'm a virtual

stranger i

had your reasons but there's enough room

for all of us this christmas

you think yeah of course i think it's

great that quinn can get to know you

better

learn more about her dad and his side of

the family

you're a good man zayn

i should never have asked you to compete

with oliver

i'm actually starting to think he may

have sent you to us

to look after his family since he

couldn't

i would be proud to have you adopt quinn

and razer as your own

you should give her those papers john

that means the world to me

[Music]

hey let's go home
