Once upon a time...

Well, now fourth upon a time, way up north

in the tiny town of evergreen, Vermont, there lived...

There lived a woman

who loved Christmas very, very much.

Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Well, if it isn't Hannah Turner.

Please, continue.

Thanks Nick.

Now then, I've lived in evergreen all my life.

We've met before.

I've seen people come and go.

Our town vet Allie, for example.

She met her husband Ryan and her stepdaughter Zoe here.

A while ago, I watched my friend Lisa rediscover

the magic of evergreen.

And then she bought Daisy's general store

and fell for Kevin Miller.

And yes, I was here when well-meaning journalist

Katie Connell met her match at the library

and landed the story of her life.

My brother Thomas proposed to Michelle right there

in front of everyone at the evergreen Christmas festival.

And I've had a few stories of my own.

I wished on the snow globe for someone,

and I found someone.

I fell in love with my best friend, Elliot.

You know what Christmas does to people around here.

Anyway, this story starts with the evergreen Christmas museum.

It's the story of, well, of my Christmas in evergreen.

...and don't forget to sign up if you're interested

in our class on the art of gift wrapping.

Presentation is key to a good gift.

Bye, guys.

I don't think my parents could've even imagined

what this space turned into.

You've made it something that the community just loves.

Bye guys.

It's exactly what they would've wanted.

I couldn't have done it without you.

Someone had to carry on the Turner name.

It looks like we're going to need more space in here now

that we've added repair and restoration services.

Imagine what we could do with a bigger space.

Oh!

Thanks again for taking on the repair sessions.

Yeah.

I really have my hands full this year with the art lessons.

No trouble at all.

It's exciting to see how you brought this place

back to its roots.

I didn't have much of a choice.

The sign outside says Turner tinker shop.

Hey, I told you, you should change the name.

People just keep bringing things for me to fix,

especially now that everyone found out that last year

I fixed the snow globe.

Makes sense to me.

The turners, they... They could repair anything,

but their real love was their art.

They'd be very proud of what you two have built.

Well, Elliot built it. I just...

Just spends all her time here helping me.

Toodle-oo.

Bye Henry.

Hey, I told you, you should change the name.

My parents wouldn't mind.

I mean, now that it's this hybrid art,

repair, restoration shop.

A multipurpose space needs a multi...

A multipurpose name?

Exactly.

I've actually been giving that a lot of thought.

Mm-hmm?

Aren't you going to be late to meet Michelle and Carol

before your shift at the inn?

Yeah, well I like hanging out here with you.

Hannah Turner, are you flirting with me?

1,000 percent yes, I am.

Come here.

I got this.

Go see your friends.

-Okay. -Okay.

Don't forget we have decorating at the inn later today.

I'll be there.

Okay. Bye.

Oh, Nick!

Oh dear, hi.

Well, hello there.

Come to mail a letter to Santa?

I'll get to it. I'm just late meeting...

Now, remember where all that rushing about

landed us last year.

Oh, don't remind me.

I still have nightmares about breaking the snow globe.

That was on both of us.

We broke it and I'll disagree with anyone who says otherwise.

Well don't worry, I tiptoe by it every time now.

Me too.

It's easy to get caught up in all the festivities,

each day counting down.

Evergreen has that spirit.

Everyone helping out.

Oh, my parents used to joke that evergreen was the kind of place

that people would help out even if you didn't need them to.

They made their Mark on this town.

Goodness, is that the time?

Good to see you, Nick. Bye.

-Oh hi. -Hi.

Sorry I'm late, guys.

Oh, come on. You're not late at all.

You want some apple cider?

Yes, please.

I just happened to use the recipe

from the new kringle kitchen cookbook.

The first printing arrived yesterday.

Yes I do, and congratulations Carol.

Thank you.

I can't wait to buy a copy.

So ladies.

The secret to the cider is adding the syrup

from the maple syrup sugar shack.

There's got to be a shorter way to say that.

I know, right?

Thanks.

So Michelle, your wedding.

What's left to do, how can I help you?

Well, there's really not much left.

The key for me is keeping it small.

Uh... are you sure it's not a little too small?

Well, that's what we wanted.

We met around Christmas, fell in love around Christmas.

We wanted our wedding to be around Christmas.

We don't want to get in the way

of anybody's celebrations, so...

Nice little ceremony on the 23rd.

Then we can spend our first Christmas together

as husband and wife.

Aww, that's so nice.

So when does Thomas get back?

As soon as he closes the logging camp for Christmas.

He waits for all his employees to leave safely.

Well, he'll be fine,

and we will just focus on making sure that your family gets in.

Yeah, that's the other issue.

My dad, Gordon.

I don't know what's going on with him,

but there's something he's not telling me.

Every time I ask him about his travel plans,

he says he's about to make them

but then he never gives me his itinerary.

Oh well, I'm sure he's just busy.

He's not going to miss his daughter's wedding.

Hey.

Aunt Hannah, can I get you anything?

A peppermint hot chocolate? I'm getting pretty good.

I'm sure you are, but I already have an apple cider.

How about you make me a hot chocolate

for our Christmas movie marathon tonight?

Deal.

Oh, I love that kid.

He talks to Thomas every night about this job.

Well, I hate to leave, guys.

But I have to get to an interview.

An interview?

Yeah. The evergreen Christmas museum.

I know I spearheaded it,

but I don't want to be in charge permanently.

So I'm looking to hire a manager to take over.

Hmm.

Gotta go.

Good to see you.

You too.

Bye!

Oh, is that the time?

I gotta get going.

Good to see you Carol.

So it's room number 6,

and there's cookies pretty much always on that tray.

And welcome to evergreen.

Enjoy your stay.

And that makes a full house.

We've been full since Thanksgiving.

Mmmhmm.

And now with the opening of the Christmas museum...

Exactly.

We're full all the way through the new year.

It's our best year on record. Which means...

Christmas bonus came early.

Seriously?

You didn't have to do that. Thank you.

No, thank you.

You keep this place running.

The systems you've built, it practically runs itself now.

Thank you, Hannah.

What?

You got that look, like...

The look that you get when you need to tell me something

but you're not sure it's the right time to tell me.

Okay.

Come on, spill it. What's going on?

I just keep thinking about the tinker shop

and how it's become so many different things.

Yeah. Everybody loves it.

I know.

But now that it's getting busier and with Henry helping out,

it feels a little bit cramped.

I just keep thinking, like... What's next?

Next for what?

The tinker shop.

Oh.

Of course.

I've come up with this pretty big idea

about how to rebrand it.

How to make it more about evergreen.

I've even applied to a foundation

that gives funds to promising businesses.

You did?

Yeah. See, Ezra told me about this...

This opportunity.

Hello!

Speaking of the Ezra...

The Ezra appears! Hi!

Oh, it's so good to have you back in town.

As if I would miss a Christmas in evergreen.

Or Michelle's wedding.

Welcome home, ez.

Come on in.

-Mmm. -Ah.

I was just at Daisy's general store

and they said that you both were out here.

Oh, and I saw some of those mugs made in the tinker shop.

The art class made so many this year that we had to sell them.

I recognized the handiwork on the little mittens

attached to the handle.

Thank you.

Very cute.

Thank you.

How's Boston treating you?

Oh, not easy.

Everything changed right when I got there.

Still looking for the right job that fits.

Oh.

And... my relationship with Oliver

didn't work out the way I'd hoped.

Oh.

But the city, the energy.

Oh!

And I know the exact right neighbourhood

for your second location

if you get the funds you applied for.

Uh... what second location?

Oh. I spoke out of turn.

Look, I'm just going to go see if,

uh, what Megan's doing and, uh...

Let you guys...

Thanks ez.

So if you get this money you applied for,

what exactly are you going to do?

I'm going to open a second shop.

Oh.

Bigger.

More services.

Even retail.

I'm going to give a platform for local artists

to sell the things that they make.

All with that classic evergreen feel.

You know, the very thing that people come here for.

But in Boston.

Yeah.

Huh.

Yeah. It's not just about setting up another shop.

I want to do more.

I kind of feel like sometimes, just sometimes,

people see me as just that tinker shop guy.

Like I'm only what I am because of where I am.

Like I'm living in the shadow

of who the town has always seen me as.

Don't you ever feel that way?

No, not really. I like how the town sees me.

I think?

You know, I've never really thought about it.

I just feel like I'm barely scratching the surface

of what I can achieve, but...

Listen, we don't even know if I'm going to get the money.

It's all very, you know, cart before the horse.

Sleigh before the reindeer.

Hannah?

Allie?

You made it!

Oh!

Who could miss a Christmas in evergreen?

Zoe, I haven't seen you since the wedding, oh...

Where's Ryan?

He's flying in a little bit later.

We came in early to surprise my parents,

but they seem to be out.

Well, I'm going to see them later at choir practice.

I'm sure they're somewhere around here.

Zoe, tell me. Do you love Paris?

You do love Paris, right?

It's no evergreen, but it is Paris.

So yes, absolutely.

So your nephew works here?

David, yes. He just started.

You know, it's an evergreen rite of passage.

All of our Christmas break jobs growing up

were either at the kringle or the Christmas tree farm.

Now you're making me feel like I want a Christmas break job.

Well, you know, I could use a hand with the knitting.

They sell my hats at Daisy's store and I make little mittens

for some of the ornaments at the art centre.

Wait, can I?

Well, we have to go back to Paris in two weeks but...

Allie?

-Allie! -Hi!

Allie, I knew you would make it.

I got worried.

There was a storm forecast for up north

and so I thought they might cancel plane reservations.

We would've snowshoed.

We would've stolen a snowmobile.

Zoe.

Something about a sweater.

I don't know, you're the one that minored in French.

They're here!

Daddy!

Zoe come here.

Oh, my beautiful girl! I missed you.

And honey, oh sweetheart!

All I wanted for Christmas this year

was to have my family back here in evergreen.

Oh, I wish I could stay.

But I gotta go. It's so good to see you.

See you soon.

Bye!

Hey everybody. I'm sorry I'm late.

Oh, we're just running up and down the scales.

Keeping everyone on their toes.

♪ Christmas cookies,

♪ figgy pudding,

♪ Christmas cookies,

♪ figgy pudding,

hey, then...

Let's... let's start with our...

Our opening number for the Christmas, uh, festival.

Do you need a hand?

Keep warming up, guys. Maybe more scales.

Oh, oh!

Thank you.

Uh-huh.

I have a lot on my mind.

Carol, how does the town see me?

What do you mean?

Earlier today, Elliot said this thing about

how the town sees him.

Which made me really curious.

Well, we see you as wonderful.

But...

Okay, you do so much.

In fact, sometimes I think you do too much.

You say yes to everything.

Well, I feel like that's everyone in evergreen, no?

Well, we're helpful, sure.

But you, I mean...

The job, the choir, any favour anybody ever asked you.

Well, I mean, it seems all manageable.

I see things I like doing so I say yes.

You're so like your momma.

Ambitious and passionate and caring.

That's how the town saw her and that's how we see you.

You're doing great, just breathe.

And remember to ask for help, if you need it.

Okay.

-All right. -Thank you.

Breathe, Hannah. Breathe.

Okay. And one, two, three, four...

♪ Jingle bells jingle bells ♪

♪ jingle all the way

♪ oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh ♪

Hey.

Michelle, this place is incredible.

You know, when the town ended up with all that money,

opening this Christmas museum in time for Christmas...

Mmmhmm.

It seems right.

But now that it's 10 days before our grand opening

at the Christmas festival and everywhere in town is booked,

a lot of reporters are coming.

Doing all this while I'm planning a wedding.

But on the bright side,

we're going to have a Christmas museum.

Look at you. Making your Mark on evergreen.

Well, I am proud to be the first female mayor of evergreen,

mmmhmm.

I'm actually starting to think a little bigger.

Well, whatever it is, you've got my vote.

You know, I started this museum because I know

that people come to evergreen for how well we do Christmas.

I think they should know the history.

It's going to take a lot of work though.

I thought you hired someone to manage the place.

Yeah. I met with two candidates today.

One got another job and the other?

Well, let's just say that was not a very organized person.

Not at all.

So if you have any suggestions.

Actually...

Hey, who's ready for movie night?

We are.

David made us some hot cocoa.

Oh, yeah.

And you, how was your day?

Oh, exhausting.

Really? Because you seem...

Exhausted in a good way?

The way that's kind of exhilarating?

So?

What's it going to be, huh?

Christmas funny?

Christmas sad?

Christmas somewhere in between?

I'll find us a good one.

All right. Let's go.

Hey, hey. Before you go in.

I have some big news.

Oh.

I got another job.

Yes!

I was just standing in the museum with Michelle.

And I don't know, I... I... I felt so inspired by her,

by the place, by... By all of it.

Wow. But doesn't this put way more on your plate?

Well yes, it does.

But the thing is, today when you asked about

how the town sees me...

I gave it some good thought, and I was thinking,

Carol and Joe have the kringle shop.

Michelle has the inn.

You have the tinker shop.

I've always felt like I've had these big shoes to fill

and nothing to call my own.

And then all of a sudden there it was.

The museum.

I can leave my Mark at the museum.

I'm proud of you.

Really?

Yeah.

But?

No, no but. Just um...

Good job.

Okay.

And listen, we can talk about the plans for the tinker shop

if you want.

Yeah. It sounds like we both have a lot to look forward to.

We do. We absolutely do.

So, um, tonight,

a Christmas movie with David's unbelievable snacks?

The hat factory was evergreen's first industry.

It opened in 1837 and closed 30 years ago.

Okay.

And the Cooper sisters just let the town have it?

Well yeah. It was just sitting empty,

and so when the town council approached them,

they were happy to help.

Now, the hall of historical photographs still needs hanging.

Figured I'd stop by with a warm up,

see how things are coming along.

Can I help?

Well would you like a tour?

I'd love one.

So we bought these screens to play old news footage

that we had at the library.

I also want to focus on the stories.

History of the town. I like it.

Maybe some of the townspeople would want to be interviewed.

And then we can use those videos on the screens.

Yes!

See, this is why we needed you to come on board.

And then there's the gift shop.

People love a good souvenir.

Okay. Well, the tinker shop can help with this.

For a place practically famed for its magical snow globe.

I'm sure we could make a few for sale.

That is a great idea.

Any trinkets or ornaments you could spare.

So many trinkets.

And there's one more thing.

Follow me.

It's the first thing guests will see when they walk in.

Hiram Cooper, the founder of the factory.

I wonder if he ever smiled.

Right, we'll need something else over there.

Yeah.

Just paint a Santa hat on the old grinch

and call it a day.

Sonya!

I've been looking all over for you.

Which isn't difficult given the size of this town.

Elliot, Hannah, this is my sister Sonya.

Oh, it's so nice to finally meet you.

You too. Michelle's told me so much about you.

Well, welcome to evergreen.

How are you liking it so far?

It's cold.

Sonya's from new Mexico.

Where the temperatures are warmer

and the tempers are shorter.

And it doesn't have all this Holly and...

Is that cinnamon?

But it's nice.

Are you all set with the list?

Absolutely.

Don't you even think about it for another second.

Just worry about your wedding.

Thank you, Hannah.

Seriously. Thank you.

So, you hungry?

Mm-hmm.

You want to go to kringle's?

Sure.

Do they have anything other than gingerbread men?

Bye guys.

-Bye. -Bye.

I loved some of your wedding suggestions.

It's just that they...

Oh!

The perfect hot cocoa.

Just the right balance of chocolate to milk.

Practice makes perfect.

That's right.

You know, your dad is marrying my sister in a few days.

I went all this time not being someone's auntie,

but Michelle tells me that you taught her

how to ice skate up a storm.

Show me later?

Yeah. That'd be great.

He's so cute.

Yeah.

He's a good kid.

What are you doing?

It melts while you drink it.

It's a festive little peppermint kick.

All right.

Uh-huh.

More for me.

Hmm.

Ah.

So, I really appreciated your wedding suggestions,

it's just that...

It's your wedding day.

You only get one.

Well, some people get more than one.

But you know what I mean.

A wedding is a union of love.

Sure the people and the party are fun,

but we didn't want it to be over the top.

A Christmas-themed wedding,

and you're telling me that's not over the top?

The whole town's over the top.

It's like being trapped in a Christmas snow globe.

Ah, hey, hey, hey. I love this town.

And if you and daddy would ever come for a Christmas,

you would actually love it too.

My humble apologies, madam mayor.

I just wish dad would commit to his travel plans.

Yeah, well. Good luck with that.

Oh, that's good.

Now hurry up and get your coat on.

Your aunt Hannah's stopping by to pick up some music.

She's not the best at keeping surprises.

Uh-huh.

Especially from my dad.

Mm-hmm.

Aunt Hannah!

David!

He was just helping us decorate.

With his sled.

Yeah, uh...

For Christmas.

And here's the sheet music for the choir.

We picked out a few old favourites

and we even threw in some recordings of the old concerts.

You recorded the choir back then?

Oh, all the time.

These recordings are just collecting dust.

Wow.

Maybe we should play these at the Christmas museum.

Oh, absolutely!

Jenny, Josie, thank you so much for this.

-You're welcome. -You're most welcome.

David, do you need a lift?

Uh, yeah.

Okay, come on.

-Bye! -Bye!

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

I had to drop off David at the skating pond

to meet up with Sonya and Michelle.

You started without me.

No, no. I had some time so I got things ready.

How were the Cooper sisters today?

You know, finishing each other's sentences

and being lovely as... Always.

Elliot, did you make dinner?

I did.

But it's cool. It's cool.

No, it's not cool. It's not cool at all.

I'm so sorry.

I just lost track of time.

Hannah.

You're looking after your nephew.

Your schedule's packed with the entire town's Christmas needs.

And you're still finding time to celebrate.

Tell me how to help.

This.

This helps.

Now I see a gingerbread house that still needs roofing.

All right.

Okay.

One layer.

Uh-huh.

Chocolate chips like buttons.

Mm-hmm.

Thanks for saving us the best trees.

Yes.

And for all your help. It's been amazing, Henry.

I'm excited for the museum opening.

It's the talk of the town.

And with Kevin and Lisa up north this year,

I'm spending Christmas alone.

No one in the history of evergreen

has ever spent Christmas alone.

She's right. You have us.

Henry, this is my sister, Sonya.

Merry Christmas.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, Michelle, the barn is all ready

for the rehearsal dinner and...

Oh, this is that barn.

Uh-huh.

Bigger than I thought it'd be.

Thank you so much for letting us have our rehearsal dinner here.

Thomas loves this place. He loves coming out here.

He's going to be thrilled.

When does he get back?

Well, there's a snowstorm in Maine and he called last night

to say that they're having a little bit of trouble

closing down the logging camp,

but everything's going to be fine.

Yep, so now that we have the tree we should

go get it decorated and hang up the rest of those pictures.

Uh, do you need my help?

Nah.

You just enjoy getting ready for your wedding.

Oh!

Bye.

Nice work.

We've made the entryway look better already.

Now to get old uncle scrooge down and hung in another room.

Well, out with the old.

Hmm? What do you think goes over there?

Hmm. Maybe something like...

This?

The mural my parents painted in kringle alley.

It's a shame it was taken down.

Well, what if we recreate it?

It'd be a nice way to honour them.

I'll get started figuring it out.

Bye.

I'll see you later.

What are you doing with that?

Oh...

You scared me.

Hi, um... can I, can I help you with any... thing?

What are you doing, exactly?

In life?

What are you doing with the old hat factory?

Well um, hi. I'm Hannah.

I'm the new manager of the evergreen Christmas museum.

And who might you be?

I'm looking for Jenny and Josie Cooper.

Well, I haven't seen them. Have you tried the farm?

Merry Christmas?

Oh, yeah, it's... it's really coming down out there.

So you think you'll be back...

Wait. Do you think you're going to get held up?

Oh, hmm, I mean, it's hard to say right now.

So there is a chance you won't make it back in time.

Well... no.

Maybe.

Thomas, if you're stuck in Maine for our wedding-

Michelle Lansing.

If I have to move mountains of snow with my bare hands,

I will do everything I can to be there.

Well, you may want that, but we can't predict the weather.

And safety first.

I love you.

I love you too.

Oh, don't forget what I said.

Don't be afraid to ask your sister about your dad.

She's got your back.

Oh, okay, all right, I gotta go. Mwah.

Oh boy. Here we go.

Well, every single time I ask dad what day he's arriving,

he gives me some new excuse.

Now he's closing up his house for some potential storm.

I know the man hates to travel in winter, but come on.

You know how he is.

Sometimes when he doesn't know what to do,

he avoids checking in.

Well, that means something's wrong.

This? Again?

You know when we were young and we used to make cards

for mom and dad?

And somehow glitter would just end up all in my hair,

and nobody could figure out why.

I've already apologized for that.

No, no, no. Not glitter!

Glitter never goes away!

Dad and I may or may not have had a small falling out.

About what?

He asked me not to talk about it

until he can explain in person.

Okay...

You seem to be everywhere.

Yep. That's me. Hannah Turner.

I never caught your name earlier.

Jeb Cooper.

Brother of Josie and Jenny Cooper.

Oh.

My sisters had no right to hand you the keys to that factory.

I should've been consulted.

Especially before you moved the portrait

of the factory founder, hiram Cooper.

Well, I... I wasn't aware that... that...

I mean, I'm sure we can come to some sort of agreement.

I think you'll find you're wrong.

My sisters never consulted me about

whether or not the town could use the building.

Now, Jeb.

You have never taken an interest in that building,

nor in evergreen, in the last 30 years

that building's been empty.

Elliot, hand me the little post office, will you?

Uh, sure.

We naturally assumed you wouldn't mind.

Oh, and that little ice skating piece.

Well, you assumed wrong.

I was the last person to run the hat business,

so shouldn't I have some say in what happens to the building?

And we're happy to work with you.

Which is why I've set up a call with the town council.

The legacy of the hat factory should not be reduced to some...

Quaint little tourist attraction.

Mr. Cooper!

Oh, hey you two.

Hey!

Nice bumping into you.

Yeah.

We were just talking to the Cooper twins

about the museum.

What are you doing here?

Well ,i just wanted to make sure that the twins

got one of the first printings.

Ta-da!

Early Christmas gift.

Hopefully we'll be selling them at the shop soon, too.

I'd love that, thanks.

You guys have a great day, huh?

You too.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hey.

What?

This is where we met.

Oh, yeah.

Actually...

You were right here.

Making snow angels.

I still like making snow angels.

And then you threw a snowball at me.

Yeah, and then you taught me how to make a better snowball.

Oh, yeah?

You said "you can't let it stick to your mittens.

"It's the most important part."

It is. It really is.

Well, we should probably head back.

Hey!

Oh, it's on now.

Earlier I was just thinking about the piano lessons

I used to take with you two.

Well, and don't forget those many years

you were in our bell choir.

Oh, I totally forgot about the hand bell choir.

You're kidding me.

Oh!

We used to play all kinds of Christmas concerts on those.

This one.

Hmm.

♪ Oh, yeah. ♪

♪ Candle's burning low ♪

♪ lots of mistletoe. ♪

You do this every year?

Yeah. It's an evergreen tradition.

We ran out of food for the Christmas festival one year,

and that party requires a lot of cookies.

So now...

Baking parties are happening all over town, actually.

And on today's agenda?

The perfect chocolate chip cookie.

Ooooh!

It's a lot of fun if you just loosen up a little.

Hannah.

Did you know that Megan does a holiday cocktail hour here

every night at the inn with Carols?

It was her idea.

People come to evergreen for the Christmas spirit.

I figure might as well go way over the top.

It should be the town slogan.

I heard that and I'll consider it.

So, Zoe.

Well, it looks like my dad's not going to make it for Christmas.

Allie's a little crushed and so am I.

But I'll see him when we get back.

Sounds like someone's going to celebrate Christmas twice.

Okay, my turn.

Mmm. Excuse me a minute.

Hello, this is Elliot.

Hey.

Uh, who was that?

Oh, that was the, uh, the people who...

I got the money from the foundation.

Really?

Wait, wait, wait. You got it?

Yeah.

Oh, Elliot, that's wonderful.

They said that my application had the most charm.

That since evergreen was already such a Christmas destination

that it just, it made sense that people would flock to a shop

that embodies everything that we do best.

That's great, come here.

Oh.

Congratulations. I'm so happy.

I know it's everything that you wanted.

But I'd better head back to the museum

if I'm going to get it open on time. So, um...

Do you want some help?

No, no, no. You stay here, celebrate.

All right guys. Bye.

-Bye. -Bye.

Hey, Michelle. Listen. I...

Hey sweetie.

How's it going? Any news?

I am so sorry, but this storm has us trapped.

And I hate to say this,

but I don't think I'm gonna be able to make it back

for the rehearsal.

It doesn't look good.

Well, is there any way they could plow?

Oh honey, believe me.

We have tried everything that we can.

I've never seen snow like this.

Now we have managed to get a lot of people up the hill.

Oh no, no, no. Be safe. Whatever it takes.

Michelle, listen. I... I gotta go, okay? I...

I'll call you back. I promise.

Okay, okay. No problem. Be safe.

I'll talk to you tomorrow. I love you.

I love you too.

Hannah!

I thought you were staying back to celebrate.

I was just so excited.

I wanted to be here with you.

Tell you about the...

Yeah, I suppose we should have that conversation, huh?

It's going to be amazing.

We take everything that the tinker shop

has ended up becoming and then some.

The art classes, the ornaments that people make,

the kringle cookbook!

Everything unique.

About the evergreen lifestyle.

-Exactly. -Yeah?

People come to evergreen for all this magic.

The tinker shop will stay open,

but we'll have a flagship store in Boston.

Rebrand it.

I'm finally taking you up on your suggestion.

I'm changing the name.

To?

The Turner goods company.

Wow, that's a... that's a really smart plan. I mean...

Come with me.

Elliot, I...

I love everything I'm doing at the Christmas museum.

I thought this would excite you.

It does, it does. I'm really excited for you.

But... where does that leave us if we want different things?

Well...

Oh, Mr. Cooper. What brings you by?

Ah, I own one-third of this building.

I spoke with some members of the town council.

They provided me with the contract my sisters signed,

turning this building over to the town.

Is there a problem with it?

I told you.

I did not give my permission.

Early start.

Oh yeah, excuse me.

Um... I couldn't sleep.

Just with all of Mr. Cooper's demands,

the choir, all of it.

And as much as I appreciate Zoe's help, you know.

Knitting calms me down.

And I know we have a lot to talk about,

and I know getting the funding is a big deal.

I just...

I know. You have so much on your plate.

And so I know this is not the best timing, but...

I want to do this.

And we should talk about...

-Hello. -Hey.

Hey guys.

-Come on in. -Hi guys.

Come on in.

Shall we, uh...

Pick this up later?

-Yeah. -Okay.

Okay.

So...

Ebenezer scrooge wants to change your plans for the museum?

Which is frustrating, because both sisters are fine with it.

And your boyfriend wants to move to Boston.

Yep.

Your husband-to-be is stuck in Maine days before your wedding.

Anyone else have any holiday-themed problems?

Well, my son-in-law is trapped in Paris.

This town has some very unique sadnesses.

Well, Thomas and I have our whole lives together, so...

I probably should call Henry Miller

and cancel the rehearsal dinner.

But on the plus side,

I have a little bit more time to work with you, Hannah.

Well, actually, do you mind if I kept doing this myself?

What do you mean?

Well, I like the Christmas museum project.

With all that I do, I've never had one thing

that I could sacrifice the others for.

It's like you said.

Figuring out what's important.

What to keep, what to let go.

I want to see this through.

Well, I suppose...

I gave you the job. It's yours.

Thank you.

Now, I have a ton of work to do.

But first, to let go of a thing or two.

-Bye. -Bye.

Covered in glitter.

You too.

Both of us.

My dears.

Look what Santa brought you.

Daddy! Daddy!

Oh, it's classic you, just showing up like that.

I asked where I could find the mayor.

And they told me to check here,

by a jolly old man who looked surprisingly like...

Broad face, round little belly,

shakes when he laughs like a bowl full of...

Hangs around chimneys, lives up north.

You know the type.

Yeah, Nick.

Michelle, I'd like you to meet bea.

Well hi, bea. Nice to meet you.

It's wonderful to meet you, Michelle.

And you must be Sonya. I've heard such great things.

Beautiful little town you have here.

Oh. Town's all hers.

Well, should we get some lunch?

Yeah. Come on in.

Come on in, have a seat.

So. That's bea. Dad's new girlfriend.

Well, she seems lovely.

Tsk.

Wait a minute.

Is that what your little tiff with dad is all about?

It absolutely is.

Carol! Carol, wait up!

-Oh. Hey Hannah. -Hi.

Just heading over to choir practice.

That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about.

Yeah?

How would you feel about taking over the choir?

What?

You were right when you reminded me to be open to help.

Oh. Honey, come on.

I didn't mean that you need to give something up.

Well, if it's too much I understand.

But you've been a part of the choir your whole life.

You know the music. You have the experience.

I can't deny this would be a great way to try something new.

Well then, the choir's yours if you'd like it.

-Yes! -Yes?

-I would! -Deal.

Hey. How's it going over there?

Oh, it's worse and worse.

Not only is the snow still coming down,

but the forecast for next week, it doesn't look good.

Well, do you think you'll get out at all?

In time for the wedding?

Michelle, at this rate,

I don't even know if I can get us all out for Christmas.

Honey, I... I am so sorry. I tried so hard.

Look, Thomas...

It's our wedding.

This time it's different.

I know, I know.

But still. I mean, sometimes you gotta stay put to stay safe.

It's not forever.

Me and you, we're forever.

Not being able to travel? That'll be back one day.

Is that my future son-in-law?

Dad, it's not a good...

Looking forward to seeing you, son.

You too, sir.

It's just I'm afraid that the forecast

doesn't look very promising.

Thomas? Thomas?

Change of plans.

Hey.

Hey, Mr. Cooper is in the back room I thought was just storage,

and it's full of...

What's wrong?

I don't like the way we keep leaving things.

Yeah. Me too.

Look. I just wish that you had told me sooner

that you were planning this big thing.

I've been searching for real purpose here in evergreen.

And now that I found it...

I just wanted to wait until I knew more.

Honestly, would you have come with me

if I had asked you sooner?

Probably not, no.

I think your idea is really smart.

And I think it could work well.

And I don't want you to regret not doing it.

Hannah, this isn't just about the business.

I want to meet the Hannah and Elliot that live in the city.

I just wonder if maybe we need to shake things up a bit.

There's that "we."

Do we need to shake things up, or do you?

Because I know who I am and I know what I want.

This community is my family, and honestly,

I thought you wanted the same thing too.

We went into this

saying that we would be friends no matter what.

Maybe we should spend some time apart

and figure out what we want as individuals.

Hannah, are you sure?

Goodnight, aunt Hannah.

I know you were looking forward to your dad coming home

for the holidays.

It's okay.

He called and we talked.

Some things are out of our control.

Are you okay though?

Yes. I'm fine.

If it's any consolation,

I think everything's going to be okay.

Goodnight auntie.

Goodnight David.

Hey.

Hi.

Oh, you must be bea and Gordon.

I'm Hannah. I'm Thomas's sister.

Oh, it's nice to meet you.

You too.

And I heard about the wedding postponement.

On the bright side, we have the Christmas festival coming up.

We have the museum opening,

which I can personally vouch for, that is going to be that...

I'm not sure we're sticking around that long.

Christmas has never exactly been our thing.

I wouldn't say that too loudly here.

Okay, okay...

Oh.

Hey, there you guys are.

I just had the best idea.

So you know how we were supposed to have our rehearsal dinner

at Henry's barn tonight, okay?

And everybody knows that we had to postpone everything.

Well, what if we just had the party anyway?

We have all this food.

It doesn't need to go to waste.

And there's all that very expensive

Christmas wine we ordered.

And we could help out Hannah.

You need Christmas decorations for the Christmas festival,

and also for the museum opening.

Yep, couldn't hurt.

And dad, I have wanted you to see this town

in all its Christmas glory for the longest time, right?

I've been trying to get you guys to come here.

Sweetie, now hold on...

You just tell us what to wear and what time.

Now I need some coffee.

That is untrue.

Let's get you some cider.

So lovely to meet you two.

Hi.

So, there's going to be a party for Michelle at Henry's farm,

if you'd like to come.

Miss Turner, being overly nice is not going

to get you anywhere.

Well, the council is going through your requests

and agreeing to a lot of it.

As for me, I'm grateful that you're allowing us

to continue to work at the museum.

So, thank you for that.

And for the record,

I read a lot of the articles on the old hat factory,

and I think you did the best that you could.

If that were true,

the hat factory would still be in business and...

And evergreen would still have an industry.

Whew.

Hi. How are you?

Good to see you. How's the family?

Okay. You're up here at like, 12 ladies piping.

And I need you to be down here

around four hens a... birding.

It's 12 drummers and four calling birds.

Point is, you certainly seem a little...

Well, okay.

Is this the result of being in an unideal situation?

Maybe.

But Thomas is the man of my dreams.

I don't mind moving the wedding to Christmas.

Shoot, I'd marry that man in July.

All right, I get it.

But is the lady perhaps protesting too much?

I thought about it.

There are upsides.

I don't have to plan anymore.

Just have to move the date.

Pressure's off.

As long as you're sure you're okay.

I'm fine.

Shall we?

We shall.

♪ Oh tidings of comfort♪ and joy ♪

Oh, just so good.

Excellent work everybody.

What a great rehearsal.

I just want to say thank you so much for welcoming me in.

And now, before we go,

I just wanted to pitch everyone an idea.

Well, I just figured that since we all know how to read music,

how hard would it be to learn how to play a little too?

Are we not going to sing all the Carols?

Oh, we absolutely are.

But I just thought that maybe we could...

Let's jump right in and... And try something new and fun!

A Christmas treat for all of us.

So?

Who's in?

Decoration stations, comfort food.

David made eggnog.

It's perfect.

Yeah. And this is a good chance for us to do some decorations

for the Christmas festival.

What's going on?

And don't tell me nothing, 'cause I know you too well.

You know.

Hey, do you mind if we talk about this later?

Sure.

So, Sonya.

Any good at wreath making?

No, I am not.

But it has never stopped me before.

Perfect.

Hey.

Michelle, how are you holding up?

Oh no, no, no, no, no.

Honey.

It's just, I mean... It's sinking in now.

I drove you guys wedding crazy for an entire year, and now...

Will anyone even want to come next year?

Michelle, of course we're all going to show up.

All of this was out of anybody's control.

We're going to show up 'cause that's what we do.

Okay.

I'm going to get them for that.

Pack with mittens...

Throw with bare hands.

Yes.

-Ready? -Yeah.

Um...

I should probably head back to the museum and, and uh...

Get those stories.

Yeah. Yeah, I have some wreaths to go pack.

Okay.

And so just our evergreen story.

Yeah.

Whatever you love about it.

Well uh, we were both born in evergreen.

Mm-hmm.

And we were high school sweethearts, so...

So?

It worked out.

The more I've been at the inn, the more I've seen people...

People find each other.

And no matter how it works out, or even if it doesn't,

love leads us to...

To places like evergreen.

Where love is liable to turn up where you least expect it.

Or...

Or right where you left it.

Love isn't just about a person.

It can be about a place.

By the time we found out that the factory was out of money

and was ready to close...

It was too late.

The news hit the stands.

Poor Jeb.

He really took the weight onto himself.

He never was one to ask for help.

His pride gets in the way.

I don't think he ever wanted to run a factory.

I think he wanted to uphold our family legacy.

And he tried.

One last question.

What does the hat factory mean to you both?

Hmm...

So, Mr. Cooper feels like he failed the town.

Which I guess I understand.

This building turning into something else

is really hard for him.

So surprise him.

See, I want Michelle and my dad to know

that I think about them.

Mm-hmm.

So I decided to surprise them with a song at their wedding.

Which, I guess now, I'll have to save it for another time.

But...

But you feel we need to show Mr. Cooper

that we appreciate him.

Hat!

What?

Nothing, nothing.

I think I found a solution to my Mr. Cooper problem.

Have a good time.

Ah!

Hey. I was just popping by

to check up and see how the mural... is going.

Oh, Elliot.

I won't lie, it was... strange painting it here without you.

But I get it. You're busy.

Thomas always said I got that from our parents.

I guess keeping busy was my way of touching

all the same things that they touched.

But this?

This is like having them back for Christmas.

Thank you.

You continue their legacy.

The museum will do that.

You can ask them.

You don't have to run yourself ragged doing it.

Right.

Um...

Excuse me.

Sorry, I just gotta grab my camera equipment.

Right, yeah.

Would you like to go with me to Michelle and Thomas's wedding?

Oh.

When it does happen.

Whatever we are then, I'd like to go with you.

It's a special day for your family,

so it's a special day for me.

Then yes.

I'd love to.

So.

Do you think we can pull it off?

And what kind of auntie would I be if I said no?

Let's ask aunt Hannah.

Ask aunt Hannah what?

So.

Hi.

I saw that the town council agreed to my demand

for half the admission fees and gift shop profits.

Yes, they did.

So I guess this is it for us...

I still want to make sure

the museum is up to my standards.

Come by tomorrow.

I've made something I think might convince you.

Hmm.

We'll see.

We'll see.

I've always had a lot of questions

about "it's a wonderful life".

Why does the old man have so many animals

that live at the bank?

There's a squirrel, a crow...

It's a Christmas movie.

There are going to be eccentric characters.

I think I might know what'll cheer you up.

Go try on your wedding dress.

That is the exact opposite of what would cheer me up.

I want to see it. Come on, do it for me.

Maid of honour.

I don't want anyone to see my wedding dress

until there's an actual wedding.

That makes sense.

But then I insist that we all get dressed up for dinner.

Come on, it'll make us feel better.

Okay.

Thank you.

Wow.

Well, would you look at that?

Surprise!

Oh.

Where did you learn how to do this?

You're so good.

The Cooper sisters taught me.

David, I know it's hard being here without him.

That's okay. I'm with family.

I have aunt Hannah and I have you.

Now come on, I have one more surprise.

Thanks for setting up the camera so I can see her, sis.

Turner sibling rules.

We always have each other's back, right?

Forever and always.

Wha...

Wow!

Your family said that you were feeling sad.

Late last night, I got a call from David and your sister.

And I thought you could use a little love today.

So if you don't mind, a sneak peek of my wedding vows?

Your grace and your strength drew me right to you, instantly.

I watch you with David and I love how our lives just fit.

You were the missing piece of this puzzle,

and I am so happy to call us family.

Michelle, I am humbled to be the man who gets to take your hand.

One day soon.

Thomas, love was an afterthought before you.

It wasn't even on my radar.

I was just fine with how things were.

But loving you has been the easiest, most joyful thing

I've ever done in my life.

Now we get to be a family,

and that's all I ever need to know in this world.

I love you.

And I love you.

Enjoy yourself.

And I promise I'll be home as soon as I can.

Happy not-wedding-day. Or whatever today is.

Happy that.

Thank you both so much.

Hey, what are sisters for?

Oh.

Okay.

Two, three, go.

What are you doing here so late?

Came here to think.

Well, we've always been good at a duet.

An unstoppable pair.

Well, that was unexpected.

Oh, I shouldn't have done that.

No, no.

I'm glad.

And confused.

I just keep thinking there's got to be a way to make this work.

We already know what love looks like.

I want us to be like we were.

We wouldn't be okay with long distance, Elliot.

You're right.

We wouldn't be.

What if it turns out that we, we do want different things?

And what if we're in too deep

and there's no friendship to go back to?

Well, if your heart is pulling you elsewhere,

a friend won't stand in your way.

Certainly not me.

Hey. Look alive.

So, let's say you don't get this signature from Mr. Cooper.

Does he shut down the museum?

Well, he wouldn't... Oh, I hope not.

We've all worked too hard for that.

I just need him to see this one last thing that I made.

For Michelle, for the reporters that came into town.

For myself.

A little secret.

I have faith in you.

The whole town does.

I mean that's what evergreen is, right?

It's a town that was built on Christmas wishes.

And, if my mom's cherry strudel recipe

doesn't help convince Mr. Cooper to sign,

I don't know what will.

I made it myself.

I'm a proud aunt. Thanks guys.

Okay, wish me luck.

Good luck. We love you.

Oh!

I'm sorry, Nick.

Let me guess. You were in a rush.

And let me guess.

I needed a little nudge to slow me down.

This time it wasn't the snow globe shattering.

Uh, Hannah...

I say this with all my heart.

All your wishes are granted if you just stop and look around.

Sonya, I have some last-minute Christmas shopping to do

if you'd like to join.

No thanks. I did mine early.

Which means she hasn't done any yet.

Not true.

Oh, well, maybe we could all go into town

and look at decorations. Or...

Thanks bea. I think the festival is enough Christmas for me.

Mr. Cooper. Nice to see you.

Huh.

So all this is for the Christmas festival, is it?

Yes, sir.

You sure you won't stay for it?

Miss Turner, you have my undivided attention

for the next one hour exactly.

Then I must catch my train.

Well, I will personally drive you to the train station

if you decide that you don't like what you see here.

Hmph.

But either way, merry Christmas.

Here you go sis.

Thank you.

No peppermint?

You like it, huh?

Mm-hmm.

Are you watching "it's a wonderful life" again?

It's always on.

I don't understand the choices any of these people make,

but somehow it's so soothing.

Hey, do you think we're being too rough on bea?

And by we, I mean you?

I know I can be...

You know me.

It's just strange that dad is dating.

I know that's childish, but I can't help it.

What did mom say she always wanted?

For all of us to be happy.

Sweet girl, that includes daddy.

Mom loved Christmas.

It was her thing.

It just feels weird to be celebrating without her.

Not to mention with someone new.

I think what you're saying is that you miss her.

I miss her too.

Christmas was her thing.

But maybe now it can be our thing.

A way for us to stay close to mom,

but bring our new family together.

I never understood why Jimmy Stewart doesn't just leave town.

I have exactly the same question.

And can we talk about the fact that there's a crow indoors?

And a squirrel. And a monkey.

In a bank!

Mom would be so proud of you both.

Well, I think I found a way to honour evergreen's history.

What have you done?

It's a tribute to the evergreen hat factory.

Our first industry.

This building is where it all started.

You've created a...

A display about me and my family...

Yeah.

And humiliated me in the process.

Is that what you decided to do to shame me?

No, no!

It's to honour you and the work that your family has done.

Hiram Cooper built this company with his hard work.

He passed it down to good people

who put their hearts and souls into it, and it ended with me.

This just calls that out.

No, it's not your fault. Businesses come and go.

I could've saved it. I let everyone down.

My family, my sisters. I...

All right, we're done here. I'm shutting this all down.

What? No. Mr. Cooper, you can't!

It's Christmas Eve, people are counting on us.

I mean, the Christmas festival starts in a few hours.

Yes, and I still own this building.

And if I want to take it back from the town I certainly can.

I've read the contract. While I may be...

Stubborn?

Look, if the story of this factory tells me anything,

it's that sometimes people remember things differently

than how they actually happened.

And that can make it difficult to see the truth

and move forward.

Mr. Cooper, you've been holding onto a past that frankly,

you don't need to anymore.

No one in this town holds anything against you.

The only thing I'm holding onto is my decision

not to open the museum.

You wanted to leave your Mark on evergreen?

That's all I ever wanted too.

We both can win if we just take a deep breath...

Miss Turner.

We both failed.

So it goes.

Now what?

Well, we've barely made it around the corner.

Let's go, come on.

The truck can be temperamental. Finicky at times.

I'm going to be late for my train,

and now the snow is really coming down.

It always does for Christmas.

You've got to be kidding me.

Hi.

Ho, ho, ho.

Do you need help.

No!

Well... I don't know.

Yes, we do. Thank you.

The truck's old and cranky, so it sometimes puts up a fight.

So if you have a toolbox around.

Never mind. I'll handle this myself.

I saw a toolbox back at the museum.

It'll take me five minutes to walk back there and get it.

One last question.

What does the hat factory mean to you both?

Hmm.

Without the hat factory, there'd be no evergreen.

It couldn't last forever.

Our brother Jeb was doing a job none of us wanted.

Dad would have been so proud that he stepped up.

After it closed, the town really had to come together.

Become more resourceful.

And now we're a town that people travel to.

That people tell stories about.

It goes to show

change is necessary in times of great adversity.

We were a town built on a wish.

A Christmas wish.

Everything okay?

No. Nothing's okay.

Mr. Cooper's leaving without signing.

I was trying to help.

I thought all the hard work I put into the museum

would pay off, and...

Hannah, you did great.

Sometimes a little Patience.

Need a ride?

Nope.

But your brother might in a moment.

Turns out we can't seem to...

I still can't believe that truck runs at all.

But we're not going to need it.

Oh, I see you got the engine started.

Yep. The truck does what it wants.

Now Jeb, we want you to stop this.

We were driving in to ask you one last time,

just give the nice people what they want.

I saw the video that Hannah made of you both.

Look, I am so sorry. I...

You did your best.

What more could anyone ask?

-Oh! -Oh!

Miss Turner, where is the contract?

Uh... oh, um...

Thank you.

Yes. You keep all the admissions and the gift shop money.

Oh.

That is as it should be.

Thank you so much Mr. Cooper.

Thank you.

Oh!

Nick?

And this is where the old assembly line was.

It'd go right to the stitching room,

which was that way.

You know, we could always use someone

to give tours at the museum if you're interested.

And then we ended up moving to Paris.

And Ryan wanted to wait until he got here

to deliver the news, but...

Do you want to show them?

Maybe.

The news is that Zoe is going to be a big sister.

I am going to be a mother for the second time,

and that means that you, mom and dad,

are going to be grandparents!

Elliot spent hours trying to get it hung just right today.

It's perfect.

Merry Christmas, Hannah.

Presentation is the key to any great gift.

Merry Christmas, Hannah.

Thank you.

It's lovely.

I was wondering if you had room for one more story.

Sure.

We could head over to the museum and go to the video...

No, no. This is, uh...

This is a quick story.

Just for you.

I fell in love with Hannah Turner the moment I saw her.

This Christmas angel fell out of the sky just for me.

It took me a while,

but no matter what kinds of things I wanted for myself...

Hannah, it's you.

But you want to go to Boston.

And I'm not going to stand in the way of your dreams.

That was just about asking myself the right questions.

I don't need to meet Hannah and Elliot in the city.

I know exactly where we are.

That's why I'm keeping the flagship store here

in evergreen.

Sure, it means I'll have to travel

to start things up in Boston, but...

It turns out I know someone who's willing to help.

But Elliot, I don't want you changing plans just for me.

I already did.

Sometimes things that seem like they need fixing

don't really need fixing at all.

I am with the woman that I love.

We're a part of this town.

Why would I want to live anywhere else

if it meant being without you?

Hannah.

Can we try this again?

I was hoping you would ask.

♪ merry Christmas, baby

♪ sure did treat me nice ♪

Even in evergreen, things are going to change.

And sometimes with just a little Patience,

you realize you're going to have to let change happen.

And that may mean letting go of a few things.

Or adding a few things.

The point is, change is more fun if you get creative.

And work together.

Keep traditions of course.

Oh yes, like snowball fights.

Christmas baking.

Gingerbread houses.

Glitter.

Christmas movies.

Tinkering.

I'm so glad you changed the name.

Out with the old.

Time to eat.
