We're here live

for the annual Festival of lights Christmas

in the magic of the "Cookie Jar"

a town filled with all things Christmas

as you can see.

It's a town home

of the famous Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie Company.

Can you remember those wonderful, sweet delights that contain sugar

from childhood.

♪ I see your Smilin' face ♪

♪ As I never saw until now ♪

We are here with some residents for a long time.

The lighting of the tree marks the beginning

of something special in the Cookie Jar.

Yes, it does.

The illumination of this tree

do early in the season.

You're all originally from the Cookie Jar?

Born and raised.

That's what makes a city.

No one wants to leave.

It's pretty much the best place on Earth.

Hi mom!

My parents brought me here every Christmas for years,

I know that I never wanted to leave.

Well, that's what it's all about.

People spend Christmas with us,

and then they have memories that last a lifetime.

Memories of aunt Sally's Famous Christmas cookies,

and the tree in the center of all.

Gentlemen?

I know that's a bit cliché.

I mean, look at this place.

I mean, it's-increment

What happened?

It's no biggie. Is ...

I would like to have brought gloves. [Puffs air]

Oh, come on, Gavin. Here.

Put your hands in the blanket. There.

Problem solved.

I know that this isn't your idea

a romantic night with me, okay?

Understand.

But it is important for me.

I-I'm sorry.

It wasn't fair of me.

I think I'm just more traditional.

dinners, company parties schmoozy.

"Stuffy" parties. You like stuffy parties.

[chicotește]

You know, sometimes, it's nice

to have a bit of fun,

without the work.

Hey, speaking of partying.

My annual Christmas Eve party is approaching.

I'm really hoping that you'll make appearance.

Oh, so you can talk about Christmas

When I don't want to talk about Christmas?

Hannah, sweetheart,

It is very important to me.

A kind of horse-drawn carriage ride this is for you.

Good try, Gavin.

One to love.

Just waiting for you.

[♪ ♪ ♪]

[Exhaling deeply]

I am here. Where are you?

[steps]

Are here. Sorry I'm late.

Oh! It really starts to snow there.

It's cold.

And ...?

The trolley ride?

Oh. Yes!

Oh wow.

So finally went for it, huh?

-Thank you. -Well, that's something.

Why?

It was nice ...

until he started talking about his party on Christmas Eve.

Oh! Wow, that thing clogged?

Right?

That's exactly what I said.

You hated that last year.

Okay, so. ..

you had it on the trolley.

And it was nice.

It was romantic.

Mm-hmm.

Perhaps the question will appear soon.

Why?

What do you say?

I'm not so ready for marriage.

At all.

It's a catch. You need to block the good ones

before it's too late.

And I'm going to listen to relationship advice

from my sister, who is, incidentally,

Currently, only one?

[TV plays quiet]

Hannah, isn't that your company?

... Known as "aunt Sally", has died,

and now, it looks like business of her family

only one could go worldwide.

We have exclusive confirmation

that national foods

is making a play

for the small upstate cookie company-

Wow! Well, aunt Sally's cookies

they are just the best thing in the world.

Did you see the story

on the Cookie Jar last night?

Not to missed that one.

Well, the town is still so cute!

Why don't you tell me

your company was scooping them up?

It's the first I heard about it.

Well, that-that should be your business.

I should say my head.

But you will not do, because ...?

Because-because I can just go in there

and my head that says I want that account.

Not so, Kelly.

And plus, I'd have to go to the Cookie Jar.

So? We went there

every Christmas, when I was a girl.

We liked!

I know. We made love, isn't it?

-Much! Yes.

Remember?

We used to try packing so many cookie boxes into our luggage,

I had no room for our clothes!

I thought I had, like, a year's worth-

Yes! I had, like, a week's worth.

At most!

I ate them so quickly. Yes.

[Chicotește]

Yes.

Well, it happened a lot then.

[Loud]: Ah! Ladies and gentlemen-

We have a grinch-

Oh, Hush.

-... In the House. -No, we don't do!

I just have a lot more to think about

than aunt Sally, or-

[Clopoței cell phone]

Oh! I have to go.

Just waiting! Just listen to me.

We could go to Cookie Jar this Christmas,

just the two of us.

It could be so much fun. Please?

I will think about it.

-Yes! This is not a Yes.

This is a Yes.

[Kelly laughs]

Okay, so if I don't see you tonight,

good luck on your presentation.

I know that you're terrified your head.

Thank you for this, Kelly.

[laughs]

I love you.

So, how do we distinguish the domain

It is not only to have our chocolate milks

in old-fashioned glass bottles recyclable,

all that we know is nothing unique,

However, what is unique,

it is what is in them. We have ...

Our "Dark" ...

"Easy"

and we have

White chocolate.

Okay, so, if Mr. Thurber gives us the unappreciated,

then you need to be prepared press trigger ASAP

I must have done this.

-Can we do that? -Hannah?

Yes?

Mr. Thurber would like to see you.

Well. I received the wrong days?

Does. But he'd like to see you now.

Well.

Fine. Well, uh ...

then I'll be back.

In the sadoughi.

[Whispered]: I missed a meeting?

He did not say why, but he is in crisis mode.

Crisis mode?

Don't worry, Hannah, he's had his lunch,

so I won't bite.

[Faint Chuckle]

[Steadying breath, expirații]

Uh, scuzați me, Sir?

You wanted to go mute presentation today?

I could do that.

Are you ready for the big leagues, Lady Harper?

...

Yes, absolutely.

I hope.

Because National Foods is purchasing

Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie Company

and it is a very important deal for us.

A open a new market.

So my question to you is. ..

[thud]

I can be convinced?

[babbling]

Absolutely, Sir, Yes!

Yes, it can seal the deal!

It was the understanding of Dan Wilcox,

It is,

until he took the top competitor our talent.

Anyway.

Wilcox addressed the temporary CEO

Aunt Sally after Sally Carter died,

and, well, he was very receptive to our offer.

Uh, sorry. Who is he?

Aunt Sally's nephew. His name's Jake Carter.

He's a corporate lawyer in New York.

When he inherited the company,

He went back to the jar and took over the reins.

Sir, this company is shaken to the brink of insolvency.

Have you seen these numbers?

Yes, well, that's what you get

in just half a year production.

So, listen.

If we stop Wilcox

from dragging in this business

right beneath our feet,

We cannot let this piece last Christmas.

Well.

I do not want to be distracted.

Oh ... [chicotește]

Sir, I'm not a fan of Christmas. Don 't worry.

Good!

So, we will obtain the signature of Mr. Carter,

We can start to work in some detail,

such as moving the operation from Buffalo.

Come with me.

[drunkenly whispers]: Buffalo?

Jane?

[Jane]: waiting Limo for you, Sir.

Thank You, Jane.

A, Buffalo?

Well, it's really a no-brainer.

You know, it's much easier and cheaper

to move things in and out of Buffalo

than it is outside of some small town

that's barely on the map.

And I want to put these cookies

every single shop grocery store in America

and throughout the year.

Uh, no disrespect, Sir,

but, well, not part of the charm and appeal

Aunt Sally

is that it's a small company,

and you can only find cookies

in certain stores,

and only at Christmas? Right?

So e, Lady Harper.

You know, deals like these,

they make or break a career.

"Make or break"?

[chicotește]

Fine. Forget I said anything.

Just go to the Cookie Jar and doing business.

When you come back,

We'll talk about your future with national foods.

Well.

Well, Sir. Um ...

Thank you very much-

I'm going to tell you something no one ever told me.

You must have passion.

That's the secret. Passion.

Găsiți pasiunea, domnișoară Harper.

[Înăbușită]: Am pasiune.

[Mumbles]: "face sau rupe."

[♪♪♪]

Mulțumesc.

[♪♪♪]

Ahh. You are Ed.

Miss Hannah Harper?

Yes.

I'm your taxi.

Uh...

Well, y--

you're late, 'cause my train was on time.

Oh. Yeah.

Sorry. A lot of traffic this time of year.

Cookie Jar traffic?

Oops. There we go.

Thank you.

You know, it's a really nice drive up there.

I'd hate for you to miss it.

You need to finish up the call?

It's my office,

and they like their regular updates, so.

Oh. That makes sense.

Oh, it's...

Sorry, I'm just... I'm just--

I'm just cold.

All right...

get a little...

[radio turns on, Christmas tune plays]

Can y-- Can you just turn down that music a little bit?

Do you not like Christmas music?

[Chuckles] It's not my favorite.

First time here?

Mm-mm, no.

I came here as a girl,

did the whole "Christmas Cookie" thing.

Good thing you're here.

Aunt Sally's may not exist next year.

Oh?

Rumor is some big corporation's coming in to buy the factory.

Hmm.

Really?

Yeah.

Gingerbread Inn?

Oh! Yeah.

[starts engine]

Buckle up.

Huh! He's a cutie, though, isn't he?

Uh, yeah, he's a cutie.

Well, why don't you come in?

I'll hold the door for you.

I did! Wow.

Good! Welcome to the Gingerbread Inn.

Aww. It's just like I remember it.

Yeah. Yeah, when I was a little girl.

Oh!

The cookies are right...

Right there.

Right there! Yes, they are!

Ohh...

Mm! They're so good.

Mm! I'm sorry. I'm being rude.

My name's Hannah Harper.

I'm with National Foods. I have a reservation.

We have been expecting you, Miss Harper. I'm Betty.

Betty, you can call me Hannah.

Do I need to sign something?

No, no. It's all taken care of.

Your company handled everything.

Okay.

Yeah. Oh! And...

You will be staying in the Peppermint Room.

Ooh!

And it is just up the stairs.

Okay.

Uh...

I've heard the rumors.

About Aunt Sally's?

[sets case down]

You know, you are the second person today

that has seemed

a little less than excited about those rumors.

Cookie Jar is Aunt Sally's.

That little company means everything to this town.

It's our Christmas tradition.

Oh. But that's not for you to worry about.

Things change.

You give me a shout if you need anything.

Sure.

Thanks, Betty.

[exhales deeply]

It would have to be the top floor.

Oh...

Hi, Hannah. Did you have a good rest?

cu siguranță am făcut-o, Betty.

Este o cameră satisfăcătoare?

Da. Totul este perfect. Mulțumesc.

Uh, but I am getting a little hungry.

Există undeva, eu pot mânca?

Absolut.

Bună, Herbert!

Salutări Seasons, Betty!

Oh, și pentru tine, d-ră.

National Foods?

Well... welcome to Cookie Jar.

Mulțumesc.

Nu l-am dor.

Ne vedem acolo!

Da, tu vei.

He seems very nice.

How about that, um, restaurant?

Oh, right. If I were you,

I would check out the Cookie Cutter Cafe.

Just tell Sam that Betty sent you,

and you will get the Gingerbread discount.

Okay. Deal. Thanks, Betty.

You're more than welcome.

I'm gonna wrap it up here. I'll be home tomorrow.

I am not going to miss your Christmas Eve party.

I promise.

Stop.

Uh, listen, I gotta go.

Okay, okay, okay. Bye.

[Chuckles] Sorry.

Was there anything else I could get you?

Hey, maybe a slice of pumpkin pie?

Oh... pumpkin pie sounds good, but...

Just the check.

Sure.

Brooke?

Yeah. Sorry, you are?

-My name's Hannah. -Hi, Hannah.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.

Hey, Brooke!

Hi, Bon-Bon. What are you doing here?

Mom said I could say hi! We were Christmas shopping.

That sounds fun!

Oh, uh, Bonnie, this is Hannah.

Hannah, this is my little sister, Bonnie.

Hi, Bonnie.

Hi! You're very pretty!

Oh, not as pretty as you are.

I got to go. Bye!

See you at supper.

-Hey, you. -Hey.

Here you go. No rush.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hi.

Hi!

Do you mind if I join you for a minute?

Yes.

No! I-- No, I don't mind if you join.

You-- Sit down, please.

[chuckles awkwardly]

Um--

Your take-out order's almost ready!

Thank you, Sam. Appreciate it.

So, busy day driving?

Yeah. Kind of.

Have you always lived in Cookie Jar?

Born and raised.

I left a few years ago,

um, but ever since I've moved back,

I don't have any intentions on going anywhere else.

You know, we don't have a lot of people

come here on business, so are you selling something?

[laughs] No. No, I'm not selling anything.

Okay.

I actually have a meeting

at the cookie factory with a...

Jake Carter.

Do you know him?

I do. Yeah. Everybody knows Jake.

And what's he like?

Um, well, he's a bit of a hard case,

but, you know, a pretty charming guy.

Mm. Charming? That so?

I think people think so, yeah.

So, you enjoying your stay here so far?

Yes, I am. Betty is taking very good care of me.

I'm sure.

Uh, here is your to-go order.

Oh, thank you, Brooke.

No worries.

By the way, congratulations!

Princeton?

Good for you!

I know. I'm excited.

I'm studying to be a doctor.

Wow! Where do you want to practice? Here?

Yeah. I mean, it's home,

and there's always needs for doctors.

Here you go. Keep the change.

College isn't cheap.

Oh, thank you. Have a good day.

Nice seeing you.

Okay. I mean--

It's good to see you, too, Ed.

[♪♪♪]

[Hannah]: Yeah, it's exactly like I remember it,

and they really push these things on you, too.

You know, if I don't get out of here,

there's not gonna be another cookie left

in Cookie Jar, 'cause I'm gonna eat 'em all.

[both laughing]

Știi, sună aproape fericit de acolo.

Happy? I don't know if I'd go that far.

I mean, it's Christmas every way you turn here.

Bine, bine, vă dau doar un minut,

and it's gonna grow on you, I promise.

Which reminds me, when you get back,

can we do some Christmas baking?

Ugh! Kelly!

I think I'll have had enough cookies by then.

Please? It'll just be like old times.

Maybe I'll find Mom's original cookie recipe.

All right, on one condition.

You be more careful with the flour this time.

[Laughing] Right! Right. Okay, yeah.

But just promise me that you're not gonna back out on me

because you're "too Christmassed out".

Yes, I promise, I promise.

Okay. Okay, well, now on to the important matter.

Your decision?

What decision?

Gavin's party? What are you going to wear?

Oh. I don't know.

Does it matter?

Yeah, the man wants to show you off,

it matters if you look good.

I don't care if it's your type of fun or not.

Let me get this straight.

I'm gonna come home from Christmas town,

to bake Christmas cookies,

to go to a Christmas party.

For someone who doesn't like Christmas,

that's a lot of Christmas.

Christmas can actually be pretty fun, Hannah.

Oh, uh, the cafe's closing. I gotta go, okay?

All right.

Okay! Merry Christmas! Whoo!

Merry Christmas.

Oh! Hi, Hannah.

Oh, hi.

I was just going to grab myself a slice of pie.

Would you care to join me?

Oh, no, I think

I've had enough sweets for one day.

But if you wouldn't mind the company...

I would love the company.

Mm. Mm! Is this Aunt Sally's pie?

No.

Aunt Sally didn't make pie, just cookies.

No, this pie

is the recipe of my late husband.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah, he used to run the inn

and make all the desserts,

back in the day when

I was worked at the cookie factory.

You worked for Aunt Sally?

Oh, yeah.

Almost everyone in this town

has worked there at one point or another.

Come on. Grab the pie.

Each Christmas,

Sally would buy a gift for every child in Cookie Jar,

and place the wrapped packages under the tree in town square.

That sounds nice.

It was. It really was.

Ahh.

What about you, Hannah?

What are some of

your most favorite Christmas memories?

Oh. [Laughs wryly]

Well, at Christmas,

uh, I don't really have

any favorite Christmas memories.

-Really? -No.

Oh. I'm sorry.

That's okay. It's all right.

I have a meeting with a Mr. Jake Carter tomorrow,

and I know you know everything about him,

so go ahead,

spill the beans, tell me everything.

He's a lot like his late aunt.

He's kind.

Trustworthy.

Understanding.

And if you think that, uh, Ed is a little cutie,

wait till you see Jake.

[Mr. Thurber]: What's the latest, Miss Harper?

I have my meeting with Mr. Carter this morning, sir.

Well, good.

Just remember that we hold all the cards, right?

His company's on thin ice, and it's starting to crack.

El trebuie să știe că suntem singura lui opțiune.

Ai înțeles, domnișoară Harper?

Yes, sir.

Morning, Miss.

Hi! Good morning.

Ed's Taxi. Ed at your service.

[chuckles] Thank you.

Listen, I'm sorry I wasn't there

to pick you up myself yesterday.

I had mechanical issues.

Oh, that's okay.

And don't worry,

we will get you to your meeting

in plenty of time

at the cookie factory.

You know about my meeting?

Oh, sure.

Everybody knows.

Thank you.

[Hannah sighs] Perfect.

[♪♪♪]

Ohh.

[Quietly]: Oh, wow...

Oh, these are incredible.

[♪♪♪]

I remember you guys.

Merry Christmas,

and welcome to Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie Factory.

Hi.

I'm Hannah Harper.

I have a meeting with Mr. Carter.

Oh! Of course you do. I'm Melody.

Would you like to try our Christmas cookie of the day?

Santa's Shortbread.

Ohh...

Has anyone ever turned you down, Melody?

Not in the time I've worked here.

I'm not gonna be the first. Thank you.

Follow me.

Jake's on the factory floor.

We'll go through the specialty bakery.

[♪♪♪]

Melody, how long have you worked here?

20 years.

My mother worked here before me,

and my grandmother was the very first employee

Sally hired, way back in 1948.

Wow!

The extruder.

[Hannah]: Mm! Beautiful.

The chocolate-enrober.

[Hannah]: My favorite machine.

I'll bet you have had your fair share

of Christmas cookies, haven't you?

I would say about a thousand boxes' worth,

give or take.

If you don't love the product you make,

why make it?

Very true.

Mm-hmm.

The chocolate-wrapper.

Season's greetings.

You're killin' me.

[Laughs] Come on!

[Jake speaking indistinctly nearby]

Jake? Miss Harper's here to see you.

Thank you, Melody. I appreciate it.

I'll fix you a cookie sampler basket

for when you leave.

Oh, thank you.

Mm-hmm.

[Jake]: Yep. Sounds good. Okay.

Thank you.

[mutters]: You're Jake Carter?

[♪♪♪]

You look familiar.

I'm glad you think this is funny, Mr. Carter,

'cause I don't.

I don't like being made fun of.

I wasn't--

I find it disrespectful

and totally unprofessional.

Okay.

What I don't even understand

is why didn't you tell me that you were... you?

Fair enough. May I explain?

If you think you can, go right ahead.

I'm sorry, you're right. Maybe I should have

told you I was the one you were here to meet.

But, for the record,

when I offered to pick up the rep from National Foods,

you threw me off.

I thought I was meeting with Dan Wilcox.

Well, Dan no longer works for the company,

and that is an awful excuse.

Well, once I found out who you were,

I didn't really want to ruin the mood

by talking business.

What-what-what-what? What?

The mood? [laughs]

The mood? Mr Carter, there's no "mood".

And business is why I'm here.

Okay.

Okay. I-I apologize.

I was just trying to do Ed a favor.

And I got to be honest, I'm happy Wilcox left.

Is that you being charming?

Mm-hmm.

How about we start over?

Jake Carter.

Nice to meet you.

Hannah.

Harper.

Hannah Harper?

Very nice to meet you, Hannah Harper.

[Announcement]: Jake Carter!

You're wanted on the factory floor.

I'm popular. Come on. Come walk with me.

What-- Uh, what?

[Hannah]: Sir, just bear with me, okay?

Um, this will only take a second, Mr. Carter.

"Jake."

Okay, Jake.

Uh, National Foods

feels like this is a more-than-fair offer,

so I'm prepared to go over the deal points with you.

Okay. I'll consider it.

But you didn't even look at it.

Don't need to.

Why don't you need to?

Because we've had some developments

with Wilcox as of late.

But this is a sweetheart deal!

-You'd be crazy not to take it. -Well, call me crazy.

But you agreed!

I did not agree.

I said I was interested, and now things have changed.

I'm no longer interested.

But if you don't take this deal,

your employees will get nothing.

You know that.

We're working on an alternate plan.

-An alternate plan? -Yes.

What does that mean? What would--

Keeping the factory here.

That's something your deal doesn't include.

[incredulous scoff]

Okay, well, mind sharing with me how that's gonna work?

Not at the moment.

Keeping the factory here

just doesn't make economic sense!

I mean, it's easier to get to Buffalo.

And it's cheaper, too!

Maybe. Just have to get a little creative.

[Scoffs] A little creative?

Okay, Jake, you forget,

I've seen your books, and I know the market.

You need us to survive.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Look, every day that you don't take this deal,

you're losing money, okay?

And our plan will ensure

that Aunt Sally's lives on

in grocery stores across America,

and we'll make you a very rich man.

I have enough.

[Frustrated sigh]

Okay. I-I don't get it.

I don't understand what's going on here.

If this is-- If this is some ploy

to try to get a better deal,

it's not gonna work.

I am telling you that National Foods

will walk away from the table,

and you will be forced to file for bankruptcy.

And, Jake, listen.

I love Aunt Sally's, okay?

I don't want to see that happen.

I guess we're at an impasse.

What're you-- What are you saying?

The... meeting's over?

Yes. I-- I'm sorry.

No, no, no. Wait. You mean you won't,

like, look at the proposal?

Okay. You know, I at least owe you that.

So, I'll take a look.

Just don't get your hopes up.

Oh! And before you leave, try a cookie sampler.

They're fantastic.

[♪♪♪]

[muttering] Cookie sampler.

[factory humming industriously]

[♪♪♪]

Jake. Jake?

Look at the stock options for every single worker.

This is a great deal!

That depends on whose perspective you're using.

Looking at everyone's perspective!

Look, National Foods respects

that Sally left a stake in her company to her employees,

and we are more than prepared

to make sure that they are very comfortable.

Comfortable?

With no jobs?

No one from here's going to go to Buffalo.

The relocation tax credits!

It's not always about money, Hannah.

I didn't say it was always about money,

but, you know, the money's not nothing either.

And Aunt Sally's isn't actually rolling in the dough.

[chuckles]

Well played.

[laughs]

If the factory can stay here, I'll consider your offer.

You know, I can't do that.

Then I can't do a deal with you.

[scoffs] Wait. Wait, wait. Wait!

All right, listen. Here's what I'll do.

I will-- I will look at the numbers again, okay?

And I'll call my boss,

but you have to agree to meet with me again.

day.

You owe me...

Come on.

Especially after the whole fake cabbie bit...

"Ed."

Okay.

Okay.

Okay, all right.

Well, I'll-- I'll buy you lunch?

Cafe at noon.

Cafe at noon. You got it.

Oh, uh...

Tell Ed I said hello.

Huh.

Well played, well played.

[♪♪♪]

Of course I understand your position, sir. Yeah.

He says he's working on an alternate plan.

I don't know, he wouldn't discuss the details.

I think he's bluffing.

Yes.

Okay, I-- I'm confident he'll accept the new deal, sir,

and I'll call you as soon as the meeting's over.

Okay.

Thank you.

Right. Bye-bye.

[buzzing background banter of patrons]

Hi.

How's it going?

I'm great. Thank you so much for meeting me.

Sure.

Uh... [exhales deeply]

So...

My boss has authorized me...

to offer you a deal-sweetener.

Cafea. Scuze.

[background chatter]

Says nothing about keeping the company here.

I know that. I know. I know.

I talked to my boss,

but it just doesn't make any sense

to keep the factory here.

Buffalo is just

a better, more viable option.

Okay? But...

this is a very generous offer...

Hmm...

Final offer?

Yeah. Yeah, it's a final offer.

National Foods

is prepared to walk away

if you don't accept the deal.

Jake, I gotta be honest with you,

if I were you,

I'd think long and hard about this,

because you don't have another concrete option.

Well, folks, what can I get for you?

Coffee, please.

Coffee. Ma'am?

Just, um, refill. More coffee.

-You got it. -Thanks.

Thank you.

It's disappointing, Hannah.

I thought you were gonna fight harder.

I-I fought, okay?

But it's just not

in National Foods' best interest.

All of our resources are in Buffalo.

They're not here.

I'll think about it.

Jake...

this is the thing for your employees,

in the long run.

[inhales deeply]

Maybe.

Maybe not.

[sighs heavily]

Oh, yeah. I forgot all about your plan.

My plan's a long shot, but it's one worth exploring.

Sure.

Don't worry. I'm gonna mull over your offer.

What? Huh? You're gonna m--

What-- What does that even mean?

"Mulling." How long does that take?

Your typical mulling period lasts about 72 hours.

[Blurts]: 72 hours?

That's three days!

Jake, that puts us into Christmas Day,

and I cannot go home until you sign this paper!

You're right.

Speaking of which,

Christmas Eve,

we have this dance we do every year.

I would love if you would come. I think you would have a blast.

Can I take that as a "yes"?

[Sharply]: It was a "I'll mull it over."

Oh...

She coming back?

She's coming back.

[Laughs]

You know, Jake... I like her.

[Hannah]: Gavin, how many times do I have to tell you I'm sorry?

But I have to stay!

This is totally out of my control.

[Gavin]: But my Christmas Eve party,

știi cât de important este pentru mine.

You promised it!

Partenerii vor fi acolo.

Le - am vrut să te văd.

To "see" me?

Can't you just tell your boss

to send someone else to Cookie Jar?

I can't just tell my boss to send someone else here.

Okay? It's my job,

and I have to see this deal through,

nobody else.

Fine.

I just want to know

Letters?

Two weeks after Aunt Sally died,

wonderful family traditions and memories they had

but if I can't,

Open it.

Nothing greater than that.

[chuckles]

[voice breaks]: You got me my own ornament.

Yep. It's for the tree.

You're one of us now.

[quietly]: Thanks.

[Sniffles]

Merry Christmas.

[Gavin]: Hannah!

We gotta go! The train!

[Sighs] I gotta go. Sorry.

Thank you for everything.

[Gavin]: Everyone at the party will be so jealous.

I can't wait for the partners to get eyes on you.

[Chuckles] They're all married.

It's like a rite of passage or something.

I'm so glad you changed your mind, Hannah.

What are you talking about, Gavin?

Maybe you could try it on.

Gavin.

Poți doar-- Poți pune asta acum? Vă rog?

Ai observat

că nu am spus da pentru tine?

Nu o singură dată!

Că tocmai ai presupus întotdeauna că eu fac?

Nu înțeleg.

Știu că nu înțeleg.

Nu am nevoie pentru a schimba mintea mea,

Am nevoie pentru a face mintea mea în sus,

și am și eu can't--

[Lacrimi în ochi]: Nu mai pot face asta.

Știu că acest lucru este, cum ar fi, nebun, toate astea.

Am fost doar în acest oraș pentru câteva zile,

dar sunt ... am schimbat.

I'm different.

Și e acești oameni, știi,

au făcut să realizez ceva despre mine that--

[râde și sniffles] ... Nu cred că am văzut înainte.

Am un fel de această nouă versiune de mine.

Și...

Pur și simplu nu am ... că acea scânteie ...

pentru tine care-that--

Înțeleg.

Deci, Jake doar nu încerca să te sărut ...

Ai fost să-l lăsa.

[adulmecă]

Trebuie sa plec.

Gavin, I'm--

Am o petrecere de Crăciun pentru a ajunge la.

I'm sorry. I--

Oh...

Oh! Dl Thurber.

Domnișoara Harper.

Nu știam că vii aici, domnule.

Ei bine, ai fi știut că dacă nu ar fi închis pe mine.

uh--

Ah, într-adevăr.

[Bâlbâială]

Domnule, ce faci aici?

Voi închide afacerea,

ceva ce par a fi incapabili de a face.

Ti-am spus,

Am vrut făcut-o înainte de Crăciun.

nu vreau asta

pentru a merge la concursul nostru.

Am făcut treaba, d-le.

You signed the deal?

Yeah, I mean,

some of the terms are a little different,

that's actually why

I was on the train back to New York,

to get you to sign off on it.

Some interesting revisions here.

Yeah, I know, Jake-- uh, Mr. Carter,

wants everything to go to his employees.

He said that they're responsible

for making Aunt Sally's cookies what they are.

[Mr. Thurber]: You know what?

I don't really care who we pay,

as long as those cookies sell as advertised.

Well!

I guess we can head back to New Y--

Ah.

Looks like we're staying in Cookie Jar.

Do you think you could set up an appointment

with me and Mr. Carter?

Uh, y... yes, sir.

I can do that.

Good. You know...

[Laughing] Just between you and me,

I just got out of three Christmas parties.

Three?

Yeah. One of 'em's at my house.

[laughs loudly]

[cell phone ringing]

Coming, sir!

Uh...

Hello?

[Kelly]: Hey, Hannah. Unde esti?

Hi, Kelly.

Deci, tu ești tren din spate, nu?

Uh, no, no, no, no, no.

I'm actually stuck here until tomorrow.

Ce? Dar mâine este Ajunul Crăciunului.

Listen, Kelly, I can't talk right now.

-I gotta go. -Aștepta--

I gotta go.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Kelly!

[Laughing] Hi!

Oh, I missed you so much!

Ahh! What are you doing here?

You think I'm gonna spend Christmas Eve

without my big sis? No!

Oh... this place looks exactly the same!

Mm. I know what you're looking for.

-They're right behind me. -♪ Out of my way! ♪

Which one, which one?

This one!

My first Christmas cookie.

[both laughing]

Oh!

I can't believe you came. I can't believe you're here.

I'm in need of some quality baking.

I tried to make cookies at home,

because you weren't gonna be there,

but I didn't have a recipe,

and I didn't know what I was doing,

so I just ended up throwing them all out, so.

So tell me. Why are you so dressed up?

I am going to the Christmas Eve dance.

Christmas Eve dance?

Amazing. I'm so in. I love dancing.

Mm-hmm.

No? You're not excited?

Well, we signed the deal today,

so I'm sure a lot of people

aren't gonna be that thrilled be to see me,

but there's somebody I need to say goodbye to.

And? Where's Gavin?

I broke up with him

after he proposed to me in front of the whole town.

What?

Yeah.

Ohh!

Is that like a "hug you" situation,

or like a "high-five" situation?

That's a "I'm okay" situation.

Okay. All right.

We have a lot to catch up on, okay?

So I'm gonna go change, and you tell me everything.

-Okay. Deal. -Okay.

Upstairs, to your right.

[buzzing chatter of crowd]

Good evening, everyone.

[hush settles on crowd]

I'm really happy to see all of you tonight.

Tonight's gonna be a little bit different than years past.

I know you've all heard the rumors,

și sunt aici să vă spun că sunt zvonuri nu mai.

Mătușa Sally

Va fi transferul de proprietate

pentru Alimente naționale

01 ianuarie eficiente.

[Mulțimea gemut și murmurare]

Ea te-a iubit atât de mult.

Ea a păsat de tine și ai considerat familia ei,

și eu chiar sper că voi știți cu toții că.

Și, cu toate că am putea merge pe drumuri diferite ...

Vreau să știi că simt exact același mod.

I really wish I could have done more.

[Ed]: You did the best you could, Jake.

[Frank]: Nobody blames you.

[crowd murmuring]

I'd like to dedicate this next song to her.

Merry Christmas.

♪ Should old acquaintance be forgot... ♪

Jake? Jake, you did everything you could.

Excuse me.

Could I just have a word? Thank you.

I just wanted to say,

in case it wasn't clear before,

we're gonna do right by your company.

Quality control, original recipes,

the whole thing.

Thank you.

They deserve it.

Yeah.

Look, since we don't have Mom's recipe,

then maybe we can steal Aunt Sally's, right?

And some bigger clothes.

What'd you say?

Mm, I've accepted my impending obesity?

No, no, no, no. About Mom's recipe.

Well, there's no recipe.

Ahem. So?

There's no recipe.

No.

'Cause...

No one person has the recipe.

Kelly, no one person has the recipe!

You are a genius!

That's really not genius, 'cause if someone dies, I mean--

Jake. Jake!

Stay there for one second.

Hello! Hi!

Uh, sorry for the interruption, everybody.

My name is Hannah Harper. I work for National Foods.

What's she doing?

Sir? Just...

Just bear with me, okay? [sighs]

What comes to mind

when I say "Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookies"?

Cookies and Christmas.

Yeah. The Aunt Sally way.

Christmas and cookies, the Aunt Sally way.

Okay, well, what does that mean?

Well, to me, it means

making a delicious product

with a taste that you can't find anywhere else.

Sir, National Foods might own

the name "Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookies,"

but we don't actually own the cookies.

We own everything about the company.

No, we don't.

No, we don't. We don't own these people.

Look, just let me explain to you what I mean.

Um, ahem, Betty?

Okay, so you worked for Aunt Sally's, right?

That's right.

Okay, and what did you make?

I made the icing.

You made the icing. Okay, what else did you make?

That's all I made.

That's all you made. All right.

And who makes the icing now?

Okay, and who makes the shortbread?

And the fudge? I could go on and on, sir.

Uh, sorry, what is your point?

My point, sir,

is that no one person or corporation

owns these cookies,

this town does.

Nothing is written down.

Those recipes only exist

in the minds of each and every one of you.

And without each and every one of you,

Aunt Sally's...

just doesn't exist.

Mr. Thurber,

have you ever had one of these cookies?

Have you--

I have not.

You have not? Okay. Kelly?

Why don't you share one of the cookies right there?

Could you please give him one? Give him one.

[Mr. Thurber chuckling]

This... Heh.

That's a "Santa Shortbread."

That's actually the original recipe.

Okay, and-and... How's that taste?

Wow.

Yes! And what makes it "wow"?

The thing that makes it "wow" is that secret ingredient,

and that secret ingredient is love,

and the reason I say that is because

all of these people love what they do,

they love this town,

they love Aunt Sally's.

They love every single thing that that cookie stands for.

And you can go to Buffalo,

you hire somebody to push a button on some machine,

okay, but it's not gonna taste like that.

If you want the people

to bite into an Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie

and think,

"Mm! That's that taste that I remember when I was little,

then you're gonna have to hire these people to do it,

in Cookie Jar.

And if there's one thing that this town has taught me,

it takes that...

that "spark"--

little bit of love--

to make something really special,

because it can't be manufactured.

Passion!

I'm glad you found your passion, Hannah.

You know, one thing I've learned over the years,

is that passion make things happen.

Can you make... this happen?

I know I can make this happen, sir.

Jake?

Deal.

Afacere.

[Jake]: Exact în cazul în care acesta face parte.

I'm very happy

că acest lucru nu va fi ultimul Crăciun mătușa Sally.

Tu ai făcut-o.

Chiar ai făcut-o. Ai salvat acest oraș.

[Rade]

Nu știu despre asta.

Uneori, trebuie doar să fie un pic mai creativ,

tu stii?

Cineva mi-a spus odată.

Da?

Deci ce urmeaza?

Ei bine, știi, cineva trebuie să rămână aici

și asigurați-vă că nu rulați această companie în pământ.

[Chicotește]

Nu exact ceea ce am vrut să spun.

speram

că poate

acest lucru ar fi primul Crăciun de mai multe ...

cu tine.

Mi-ar placea asta.
