- [Narrator] Twas two weeks before Christmas

in a sleepy ski town.

But no one was smiling.

Everyone was quite down.

The restaurants were empty.

The chair lifts were still.

The weather was warm, not even a chill.

Yes, it felt more like May and not like December.

And they needed the snow to bring the tourists, remember?

The people were sad.

Santa was melancholy.

In this small Vermont hamlet by the name of Mount Holly.

No one was spending, many stores had to close,

but one woman went off on a limb, I suppose.

Her family behind her, best friend by her side,

a magical gift from Saint Nick as her guide.

Her stomach in knots, she was under such stress,

not knowing if she'd fail or become a success.

Her name was Noelle, and she really loved art.

So she opened a gallery as big as her heart.

- Well, that should do it.

- Daphne, thank you!

- Noelle, you're my best friend.

What do you think I'm going to let you set up for your big

grand opening all by yourself?

- Grand opening.

I'm excited.

- You should be!

You put your whole heart and soul into this place.

- Well, I couldn't have done it without you.

- Well, you can thank me

after the success of the grand opening.

- Trust me, I will.

Do you really think it's going to be a success?

- Yes, of course!

Why wouldn't it be?

(gentle music)

- [Noelle] I don't know.

- What's wrong with you, girl?

- What if I'm not good enough?

And what if people don't like my work?

- Are you kidding me, Noelle?

You are an amazing artist.

Trust me, I have been to the Louvre.

- I'm being serious, Daph.

- So am I.

Hey, you graduated first in your class

at the Arts Conservatory, okay?

You got a full blown ride for heaven's sake!

You're good.

You're better than good.

You're great.

- Thanks Daphne.

It sometimes I just feel like-

- Like you're going to fail?

- Yeah...

- Yeah, well, welcome to the world of small businesses.

It's kind of like jumping out of a plane,

but you don't know if your parachute is going to open.

- What gets you through it?

- Knowing that my best friend will be there

with a big giant net to catch me if I fall.

You're going to be great.

- You always say that.

- Because it's true.

Oh gosh. I got to go!

Ms. McCoy is bringing Precious in 15 minutes

and I got to give her a haircut and a manicure.

- You're giving a poodle a manicure?

- Ah, nope.

I am giving a poodle a French manicure.

Don't even get me started.

All right, I will see you at dinner tonight.

Bye!

- Bye.

(gentle music)

- [Man] Hello? Anybody here?

Hello? Anybody here?

(man chuckles)

- Hi, I'm sorry, the shop is closed.

- Well your door is open.

- I know I've forgot to lock after my friend left.

- Oh, I see.

- You're more than welcome to come back tonight

for the grand opening.

We'll have hot chocolate and gingerbread.

- Oh, I do love my gingerbread.

- It starts at seven.

- I'm afraid I can't make it.

This missus is sick and I need to look after her.

I was just passing through on my way home.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

Well, I'll tell you what.

You take a look around,

I'll grab some gingerbread to take home with you.

- Deal!

(man chuckles)

- Here you go.

Hello?

(gentle music)

Excuse me!

Did you see a man leave my shop?

- [Tyler] A man?

- Yeah, white hair, white beard, kinda chubby?

- Answers to the name Kris Kringle?

- Excuse me.

- Sorry, I thought you were kidding.

No, I only saw Daphne leave but she left out on the front.

- What about the back?

- No, it's just me back here.

- But you know Daphne?

- Yeah, she came by my store

and introduced herself yesterday.

I'm Tyler.

- Noelle.

- "The First Noelle."

I get it, it's cute.

- Thanks, it was my mom's idea.

Are you and Joe coming to the grand opening tonight?

- Oh no. You didn't hear what happened to Joe?

- Something happened to Joe?

- Yeah, he just got home from the hospital today.

- What happened?

- He had an episode with his heart.

So the doctor said that he should take it easy

for a little bit, you know,

with all the stress from business.

- I had no idea Cuppa Joe was so stressful.

- It's not really the business rather the lack of,

but I'm sure you know what I mean.

- Actually, I don't, I haven't even started yet.

It's that bad?

- Well, maybe it will be different for you.

I just know that Joe really relies on the ski crowd

this time of year.

It's when he does the most business.

But since it hasn't really been snowing.

- There hasn't been any business. I see.

I'm sorry.

Can I do anything to help?

- No, that's okay.

Thank you.

I'll tell Joe you're asking for him.

I'm running the coffee shop until he gets better.

- Won't that be awhile?

- Yeah.

I'm his nephew though so that's what family's for, right?

- That's really nice of you.

- I mean, he did help put me through college so,

it's the least I can do to help.

- Well, I hope you can come tonight.

- Is that an invitation?

- Yeah. 7:00 PM.

Daphne will be here too.

We're going to introduce you to some people.

- Great.

- Here, give these to Joe for me.

- What's this?

- Gingerbread cookies.

And don't eat them all.

There'll be plenty of the party tonight.

Hot chocolate too.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Hello?

Thanks, Santa.

- No! My phone is on silent.

Missed calls from you, Jackie, mom, dad, I missed dinner.

- Yeah, you sure did.

We didn't hear from you, we all went looking.

- Well I lost track of time.

- Were you painting?

- Yes, I'm so sorry.

- It's fine.

Just go get ready and I will take care of everything.

- Mom? Dad?

- Oh, look who decided to show up.

- Put a sock in it, Dylan.

- You are in so much trouble.

- Oh, Noelle!

Where have you been?

- In my studio, painting.

- We thought something happened to you.

Your father is at the hospital searching the emergency room.

- I'm sorry.

I started painting, I lost all track of time.

- We were so worried!

I didn't know if I should hug you or hang you.

- I vote hang.

- Dylan!

You better go get ready.

- Right, 15 minutes.

- No, you've got 10.

- What-

- You can't be late to your own grand opening!

Go!

- 10 minutes.

- Like that'll happen.

What?

(upbeat music)

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Hi grandma, it's Noelle.

- Noelle!

How nice to hear from you.

Are you ready for tonight?

- Just about.

- How do you feel?

- I'm really nervous.

- I am too.

- I have everything riding on this grandma.

- I know you do, honey.

It's a big leap of faith.

- Yeah, I'm so thankful mom and dad

let me stay at their house while this gets off the ground.

They've been so great during this whole journey.

- Noelle, you're the eldest child.

You're setting an example for Jackie and Dylan.

- You really think so?

- I know so.

You're a dream chaser, Noelle.

You're showing your brother and sister,

and everybody else for that matter,

that people are able to actually catch the dreams

they chase if they try hard enough.

- Thanks, grandma.

- You better go, honey.

Your public awaits.

- Oh, I love you.

I wish you were here.

- [Tyler] Uncle Joe, what are you doing outside?

- Well, hello to you too, Tyler.

- Yeah. Hello, hey Uncle Joe, what are you doing outside?

Where's Aunt Viv?

- She went to the store.

- [Tyler] And left you on the porch.

- No, I came out myself.

- [Tyler] You should be in bed.

- I needed some air.

- [Tyler] While Aunt Viv wasn't home?

- So?

- [Tyler] Come on, Uncle Joe.

I know being upstairs is getting to you,

but you need to be more careful.

- I'm fine. Nothing happened.

- [Tyler] Yeah, but it could have.

Come on, Uncle Joe.

- I haven't been outside in a while except

to go to and from the doctors.

Can't a man sit on his porch and enjoy a brisk evening?

- [Tyler] Yeah, if that man has a blanket on.

- I'm fine, Tyler, really.

It's not even that cold.

So how's the coffee shop?

- [Tyler] Great.

Mandy has helped me out a lot.

- [Joe] She's a good egg.

- She is.

And she misses you.

Everybody misses you.

- Yeah. Well I miss them all too.

If your aunt would only let me get back to work.

- You're not ready yet, Uncle Joe, you know that.

- I got down the stairs, made it outside by myself,

didn't I?

- I met the girl from the gallery next door.

- You mean Noelle?

- Yeah. She invited me to the grand opening tonight.

- You should go, Tyler.

- I don't know.

How long have you been outside?

- Ty, I haven't been out of here,

but 10 minutes or so.

You're aunt went running out to get some ingredients

for her cookies.

- Oh, she making her chocolate chip cookies?

- What else?

- I love those.

- Yeah, well then there'll be waiting right here for you

when you get home.

- I don't know.

- What are you worried I'm going to eat them all?

- No, Uncle Joe, I just feel bad.

I came here to help you guys out as much as I can,

not go to some party.

- Tyler, it hardly sounds like a party.

Besides, you're helping us out plenty.

It's only been a couple of days.

Go to the grand opening.

- Are you sure?

- Absolutely.

Maybe you can meet some people.

Tyler, let's be realistic.

You're going to be here for a while, right?

- That's the plan.

- Well, if that's the plan,

then you're going to need to get to know Mount Holly

a little more.

Meet the people, go out,

Dare I even suggest you have some fun.

- I just feel like I should be helping out more.

- You're helping out plenty, Ty.

And we both know you're going to be helping out even more.

It's going to be a few months before I can get back to work.

- Before Aunt Viv let's you get back to work.

- That too.

Mount Holly is going to be your home,

at least for the next couple of months.

So settle in, you know, try to unwind.

- Yeah.

Thanks Uncle Joe.

Now how about we get you inside

before Aunt Viv gets back

and blows her stack cause you finds on the porch?

- Yes, I suppose.

No, Ty, I got it.

Really.

Now you go set the table.

- [Tyler] Yes, sir.

(gentle music)

- Let me just put your coats in here.

- Right?

This is incredible.

- Is this the painting?

- Yep.

What do you think?

- They're cookies?

- Chocolate chip cookies.

- [Carol] It's great, Noelle.

- Well what's so great about a painting of cookies?

- Hey Dylan.

- What did I do?

- Don't get smart.

- It's a wonderful painting.

- Yeah. Of cookies.

- All right, Dylan.

You want to go out?

- But, I didn't do anything.

- No, no, no, out.

- But-

- Not mature enough to handle an art show, you're out.

- Dylan doesn't know what he's talking about.

- It's fine. He's 17.

- You know,

I bet that you could sell this at the bakery

or at Cuppa Joe.

- Maybe, it'll be dry in a day or two.

I'll hang it then.

- Oh, you should.

It's a terrific painting.

- I don't know about terrific mom.

I was just trying out a paintbrush that Daphne gave me.

- Oh, that's so sweet.

- [Daphne] Hurry up guys!

Doors are opening in five minutes.

- Here we go.

- Noelle! What are you doing out here?

Guess what?

There's a man from New York city

who wants to buy one of your paintings.

- What? You're joking.

Well, which one?

- Oh, he's wearing a suit.

He's got brown hair.

- No, I mean which painting?

- Oh, it's like a tree next to a road.

- Daph, I wasn't gonna stop that one!

- Why?

- I don't know. I really like it.

- Okay.

So you're only going to sell paintings that you don't like?

- Well, no.

- Great, then let's go.

Come on, come on.

This is the artist, Noelle Palmer.

- Ms. Palmer.

It is truly an honor.

- Nice to meet you Mr.-

- Carlyle, John Carlyle.

- Mr. Carlyle,

Daphne tells me you're interested in one of my paintings.

- Correct.

This one.

- Interesting choice.

May I ask why this particular painting?

- Reminds me of the entrance road

to the Evergreen Mountain Ski Resort.

- Good eye, it is.

- I knew it.

I knew it!

I have to have this painting.

- Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Carlyle,

but I wasn't planning on selling it.

- Please, you don't understand.

My wife would absolutely adore this.

- Really?

- I haven't gotten her anything for Christmas yet.

And we go up to Evergreen Mountain every winter for skiing.

I proposed to her underneath that tree 25 years ago.

- Aww!

- I wouldn't know how to price it.

- I'll give you 1,000 for it.

- Dollars? - Excuse me?

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend, 2,500.

- Mr. Carlyle, I-

- 3,000, but that's as high as I can go.

It's all the cash I have on hand.

- Cash?

- $3,000 for this painting?

For this little painting?

- I can see all the detail that went into it,

as small as it is.

I mean, to create something this exquisite it's really,

truly amazing.

- I don't know what to say.

- I do!

Sold!

I'll ring you up.

- I think you and I can work together.

- What do you mean?

- I forgot I'm in Vermont,

you probably don't know who I am.

I own a bunch of hotels in New York

and I would like to talk about the potential of

commissioning you to do some artwork for my lobbies.

- Wow, thank you.

- I'll leave my card with your assistant.

- Merry Christmas.

- [Daphne] Right this way, Mr. Carlyle.

- [Vivian] Tyler, I thought you were going out tonight.

- I was, I just wanted to get the dishes done.

- I told you I could handle that.

- You had your hands full with Uncle Joe.

I just want to help out.

- You have helped out enough today, sweetheart.

Uncle Joe's asleep and I'm about to go up there myself.

- You sure?

- What's the matter?

You don't want to go to the party?

- I don't know.

I feel like Noelle invited me because she feels bad for me.

- Don't be silly!

Noelle is such a nice girl.

And you're her business neighbor.

You need to support her.

- I guess.

- I can tell something's on your mind.

Do you regret coming up here?

- No, of course not, Aunt Viv.

I'll do anything for you and Uncle Joe.

- I know you would.

- And I love it here, I really do.

It's just a big transition from the big city, you know?

- I do indeed.

Your father used to love coming up here

because it was so different.

- Yeah, I know.

- [Vivian] We all miss him, Ty.

- Yeah.

It's just being up here brings back a lot of memories.

You know?

- I can imagine.

But you know what your dad would want you to do

instead of moping around my kitchen?

- Go to the grand opening.

- Darn right.

- I just feel like I stick out like a sore thumb!

- Oh come on

Don't be silly, you'll fit right in.

- I'm a city slicker.

- (chuckling) We're not exactly country bumpkins, Tyler.

It's only a couple hours outside New York city.

- You know what I mean,

I'm just not used to this small town life.

- You don't have to stay if you don't want.

- Aunt Viv, I didn't say that.

It's just going to take me a little getting used to,

that's all.

- Fair enough.

I think I have something that will help.

- What?

- My famous chocolate chip cookies!

- What for?

- Give them to Noelle.

Tell her that you brought them for her.

- Why?

- Tyler Jensen, have I taught you nothing?

Noelle brought you cookies for Uncle Joe.

You should take something back.

- She said they're already going to have cookies there.

- Not my famous chocolate chip cookies.

- Okay, true.

- And don't you eat any unless she offers.

- Yes ma'am.

- Yeah. And tell her that I need my plate back.

Okay?

- Will do.

(gentle music)

Hey, Aunt Viv?

Thank you.

- Oh.

I love you, Ty.

- I love you too.

- Excuse me. Sorry.

Do we have any more earrings?

- Just the ones that are on display.

- Oh, well do we have any in the back?

- None that are finished.

- Okay, well then we're out.

- We're out?

I made two dozen pairs.

- Yeah, we're out. - We're out?

- We're out!

- I have to take care of something.

This is for you.

- Thank you. - You're very welcome.

- Oh, what a shame.

My daughter would have loved a pair for Christmas.

- I know, and I'm so sorry.

I don't even know when another pair will be available.

- Tomorrow morning.

- Oh, Noelle.

Congratulations, I am so proud of you!

- It's so good to see you, Professor Shaw.

- You too.

- I can't believe you came all the way

from Rhode Island for this.

- Are you kidding?

And miss my star student's grand opening?

Never.

- Wait, you two know each other?

- This is Professor Shaw.

He was my favorite professor at the Art Conservatory.

- And she was my favorite student.

- This is my best friend, Daphne.

- [Professor Shaw] It's nice to meet you.

- She's been my biggest supporter for The First Noelle,

outside of my family.

- Oh, that's wonderful!

- I can have the earrings ready for you tomorrow, 11 A.M.

- You sure it's not a problem?

- Of course.

Well, I could check right out of the hotel

and come get them.

Thank you. - Amazing.

Do you have any color preferences or style preferences?

- Well they're for my 16 year old daughter

so something, silver, sparkly, sweet.

- You got it.

I do have a hockey game at noon tomorrow.

- I'll come around 11. You sure it's okay?

- I am.

- That's terrific. Thank you.

- You're very welcome.

- And it's not a problem,

but I just wanna know how much to bring?

How much are they?

- I'm not going to charge you for them.

- You have to charge me.

It's not a way to start a new business.

- You came all the way from Rhode Island.

- So what?

Daphne, how much are the earrings?

- $50 a pair.

- 50? - Sold.

- Thank you.

I will meet you up at the register.

- Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

- Okay, I know what you're going to say.

- $50 per pair, Daphne?

- We sold a dozen in the first 10 minutes!

So we had to raise the prices from 30 to 50.

- 50, are you crazy?

- It's called supply and demand.

Think about it!

You're gonna have to start from scratch

just to keep your customers.

- I never thought about it like that.

- Well then you start thinking that way.

- It's not just because on the bottom,

it's like each one is a masterpiece, right?

I would say that's a successful night, huh?

We are so proud of you!

- Mom!

Can we go?

I've my game tomorrow.

- Oh, that's right!

We gotta go.

- Yeah, you gotta get to bed.

- You guys can go.

- I'm so proud of you, Noelle.

- Well I'm proud of you too.

- Yeah, bedtime.

- Goodnight guys.

- Jackie, you go ahead.

- Are you sure?

- Absolutely, you've done enough tonight.

- Okay.

I'll see you at home.

Proud of you.

- Hey Noelle.

- Hey Tyler.

- It's over?

- Yeah. You missed it.

- You're kidding!

- No, it's after 10.

- Sorry. I got caught up helping Aunt Viv

and we had to put Uncle Joe to bed so I lost track of time.

- It's okay, really?

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm just tired.

- I brought these for you.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Can I drive you home?

- I live around the block.

- But I'll walk you.

- No, I can walk on my own.

- I'm not going to let you walk home by yourself.

Plus you'll be telling me all about this opening

that I missed.

- All right, if you insist.

- Are you locking us in?

- Yeah, last time I left the door unlocked

some strange man came in.

- Oh, you mean Santa from this afternoon?

- Yeah, Santa.

Did Daphne tell you about the cookies?

- These cookies?

- Yeah.

- No, how would she know about the cookies?

- Come with me.

- Whoa, cool back room.

- That's my art studio.

- Yeah. I can see that.

I'm impressed.

- So about these cookies.

- Yeah, what about them?

- You didn't see the painting?

- Whoa.

- You're kidding. Right?

- No. I've never seen that painting before ever.

- You didn't come here while I was gone?

- No, I told you I was at my aunt and uncles.

- Seriously?

- Yeah. I promise, I've never seen that painting.

- Maybe I saw the plate then?

- Maybe, it's my Aunt's.

Which reminds me,

I'm going to need this back when you're done.

- Yeah, of course.

- Are you okay?

- I'm a little freaked out to be honest.

- It's just a coincidence.

- I'm sure you're right.

- Let me take you home.

- I'll put these away.

Would you like one?

- Yes.

Is it usually this quiet on a Friday night?

- No, it's usually really busy and loud

with out-of-towners that go to the ski resort.

- I can see why this whole no snow issue

is making Uncle Joe so stressed.

- How's he feeling anyway?

- Much better.

Can't the resort just to make it's own snow?

- No, it's just not cold enough.

- It's gotta be horrible for this entire town.

- Yeah. It's been really quiet here lately.

- Why open up a business now?

- Well, stores are closing left and right.

There's empty storefronts and the rent's really affordable.

I thought I'd take a chance.

- It's really brave of you.

- Brave or crazy?

Maybe a little bit of both.

- This is me, let me drive you home.

- Oh, that's silly.

I live less than five minutes here.

- Okay, so then we'll walk.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- Okay, thank you.

- No problem.

I want to know more about this town

and you seem to know a lot.

- Well, I was born and raised in Mount Holly.

- Hence the name Noelle, I assume.

- Yep. I am the oldest and I was born on December 2nd.

Well, my parents wanted to name their kids

after special days near their birthdays.

- So I guess you have a sister named Ivy

and a brother named Nicholas?

- No, my sister's Jackie and my brother's Dylan.

- That's not very Christmas-y.

- I know, I said special days, not just Christmas.

My sister was born the day before Halloween.

Jacqueline, Jack-o-lantern.

- That's cute.

I like it.

What about Dylan?

- Dylan was born on May 24th.

- So something to do with Memorial day?

- No.

- Pickles?

- No, it's Bob Dylan's birthday.

- Oh yeah, that was my next guess.

- Well, what about you?

- What about me?

- Where are you from? Any siblings?

Stuff like that.

- I'm from all over the place.

I was born in Massachusetts

and then grew up in like 15 different states.

- Really?

- Maybe not that many,

but my dad was in the military

and my mom died when I was 10 so it's just me and him.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

- Oh don't be.

Made me who I am today.

- Well where is he now?

- He passed two years ago.

He's buried in Arlington, Virginia.

He was a general.

- Wow. That's very impressive.

- Yeah.

Aunt Viv was his sister

and I've always been really close with them.

So I was working a job in DC

and in October they got taken over

and fired like 300 employees right before Thanksgiving.

- Geez, that's terrible.

- I know.

That's what I thought.

So I decided I couldn't work for a company like that

and I quit.

- Good for you.

- Yeah, Aunt Viv and Uncle Joe

just so happened to need the help and packed up my stuff

and here I.

- No siblings?

- Nah, just me.

Aunt Viv and Uncle Joe never had a kid

and always treated me like a son, so.

- So you had to come up.

- Right.

Wouldn't you?

- Yeah, for sure.

I want to be the kind of boss people want to work for.

- You have employees?

- No, of course not.

But I have goals.

- Just be sure not to fire anyone near a holiday.

- Never!

What type of work did you do anyways?

- Guess?

- Guess?

I hardly know you.

- You know what?

I think it'd be fun to see what you think I did

before I became a coffee shop manager.

- Well, a bunch of people were fired and you weren't.

So vice-president?

- No.

- We'll you're not a cop

and you don't work for the government

because there's all sorts of job protection.

- Correct.

- Accountant?

- You really think I'd be an account?

- Maybe not.

Attorney?

- Definitely not.

- Okay. I give up.

- Public relations director.

- I should have known.

- Really, why?

- You're outgoing.

You seem like a people person.

- Yes.

You're not?

- Not really, I like working by myself

in my own little bubble.

- Well, thank you for letting me in on the bubble tonight.

- This is me.

- And thank you for letting me walk you home.

- Yeah, it was nice.

Can I see you again?

- Considering you have a coffee shop

right next to my studio,

I think we'll be seeing you a lot.

- You know what I mean.

- I do.

- You doing anything tomorrow?

- Tomorrow I have a hockey game at noon.

- The Mount Holly High School Championship?

- My brother plays right-wing.

- Oh, really?

My uncle was supposed to keep score

so I'm filling in for him.

- Well, I guess I'll see you then.

- You want to do something after?

- Maybe.

- [Tyler] You don't want to make any plans?

- Let's see how many goals Mount Holly wins by.

- Wow.

- Goodnight Tyler.

- Goodnight.

- [Noelle] Good morning, Professor Shaw!

- Good morning, Noelle.

How are you doing today?

- I'm great, you?

- I'm fantastic.

I love that painting.

That wasn't here last night, was it?

- No, it wasn't.

It was still wet so I had it in the back.

- Is it for sale?

- Not yet.

- You should try selling it to the bakery

or the coffee shop next door.

- My mom said the same thing.

- It's very interesting.

- Thank you.

And here we are.

- Oh, Noelle, this is perfect!

It's beautiful!

- Silver, sparkly, and sweet, just like you asked.

- You can say that again.

Molly is going to love this!

You're very talented.

- I'm so glad.

Here I made this for you.

- For me?

Noelle, I love this.

- Thank you. I made it this morning with you in mind.

It's a gift.

- Noelle-

- No, it's a gift.

- Okay.

A gift graciously received.

Now come give your old professor a hug.

I'm so proud of you.

You are a delight.

- [Noelle] Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

Look, you have to come visit us soon.

- I promise I will.

Maybe this spring.

- That'll be lovely.

Sweetie, again, I'm so proud of you.

- [Noelle] Thank you.

- Congratulations.

- [Noelle] Thank you.

- All right, Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas!

- I hope we see you soon.

- Thank you. Drive safe.

(water rushing)

(door opens)

What did you forget?

Hi.

- [Tyler] Hi.

- I didn't expect to see you until after the game.

- Yeah. Well I saw somebody come out of your shop

so I figured I dropped these off for you.

- Oh, how sweet.

Thank you.

- Yeah, I know it's not your traditional bouquet of roses,

but I thought it would go well with the theme of your shop.

- You really didn't have to do that.

- And you didn't have to take me under your wing.

- I'm hardly taking you under my wing.

- Yeah, but you've been really nice to me

and show me around a little bit.

- No I haven't.

- Would you like to?

- I don't know, Tyler.

- Look, I'm not asking you to marry me.

How about we just start by going to the game together?

- Together?

You're the scorekeeper.

- So?

You can introduce me to some people.

You seem to know everyone in this town.

- Well, not everyone.

- Are you gonna make me beg?

- Maybe.

- Please, please, please take me to the game please!

- Okay, okay.

I was about to leave anyways.

Just let me shut off the lights.

- Your latest masterpiece?

- I don't know about masterpiece, but yeah, I painted it.

- It's good.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'd hang it on my wall.

- Well good cause I made it for my brother.

- That's him?

- Yep. Number 76.

- Palmer.

- Right, that's our last name.

- Of course it is.

- Is yours Trivigne like Joe?

- No, I'm Aunt Vivian's nephew by blood.

Her brother was my dad.

- So what's your last name?

- Jensen. Why?

- Well it's only fair.

You know my last name, I should know yours.

- Okay.

- Well, Ms. Palmer, you ready to go?

- I am indeed, Mr. Jensen.

(upbeat music)

♪ Out of my way, I'm trying to go ♪

Come on, Dylan!

(all cheering)

(whistle blares)

- So now what's happened since it's a tie?

- Shoot out.

- Ooh, that sounds exciting.

- Oh, it is.

Three players from each team take a penalty shot.

The team with the most goals

at the end of the shoot out wins.

Some sport. Huh?

- So will Dylan shoot?

- Yes.

He'll shoot last.

- Why?

- He's the best player.

- You guys always talk in stereo

when you're at the hockey games?

- No.

- Okay then.

- Is that your girlfriend?

- No.

Not yet.

- Nice.

- What are you doing?

I gotta go, I got a Shih Tzu in 15 minutes.

- You can't get up.

You have to wait for them to take a shot.

- Okay.

(all cheering)

I gotta go, okay?

Call me and let me know who wins.

- Bye, Daph.

- [Daphne] Bye!

- So who's the guy?

- What guy?

- The guy keeping score.

- Hey, she has a sister?

- Who?

- Your future girlfriend.

- Good one.

- No, seriously.

Who's the girl sitting next to her?

- I don't know. I just met her yesterday.

- You don't know if she has a sister?

- Yeah, she does.

- Cool.

Hey, can you introduce me to her after the game?

- Okay. Fine.

- Thanks.

- It's okay honey.

- So?

- So what?

- Who is he?

- His name's Tyler he's Joe's nephew.

- The coffee shop guy?

- Yeah, he's running it while Joe recovers.

- Oh wow.

- All right, come on, Louie!

You got this!

- Don't let him score, lou!

- Let's go, Lou!

- Who his friend?

- Who's friend?

- Tyler's.

- What did you do that for?

- What are you doing?

- He waved to me.

- Did you see that?

- See what?

- She waved back at me.

- So?

- So I'm waving back.

- You can't just wave.

- Why not?

- Because you don't know her.

- So?

- You can't wave to someone before you meet them.

If you do, that's just...

- That's what?

- You know him?

- No, but he sitting next to your boyfriend.

- Really creepy.

- Creepy?

Creepy how?

- Because you're some strange guy waving to a girl.

- Tyler is not my boyfriend.

We just met yesterday.

- He's been staring at you the whole game.

- He really has been staring at you the whole game you know.

- You waved.

- It's to Noelle.

- So?

- I know Noelle.

You have no game.

- See?

Come on, Louie! Block that shot!

- Don't ignore me, Noelle.

- Okay, look, you moved here two days ago, right?

- Yeah, so?

- I moved here a week ago to be the instructor

at a ski resort and that was postponed until the first snow.

- Sorry. I didn't know that.

- Cut me some slack.

- What do you want me to say?

- Say you'll introduce me to Tyler's friend!

- Tyler doesn't even have any friends.

He just met the guy.

He just moved here.

- Look, I just met her yesterday

and I want to take her out tonight.

Well, I am taking her out after the game.

I hope to take her out after the game.

- Can I come too?

- Okay. So say you'll introduce me to Tyler?

- Paul, you're not coming out with Noelle and I.

- Why not?

Look, ask her sister to come, she can't say no.

- Of course she can.

- No she can't.

Because if she had any doubts about going with you

she'd reconsider if her sister was going.

- You're right.

- You said I had no game.

- Fine.

Can we watch the game please?

- Come on Lou!

We got these punks, I need you to be the wall!

Be the wall for me, Louie!

- Steve. - What?

- Steve, sit down.

- Honey, this is a hockey game.

If I don't express myself, I'm going to get sick.

- You're a little loud, honey.

(whistle blares)

(crowd cheering)

- Now what's up!

Now what's up!

- Come on Chris, we need a goal!

- Noelle, don't put so much pressure on him.

- Pressure?

Ma, it's the championships.

He's feeling the pressure already.

- No, but it isn't very lady like to yell like that.

Especially when that boy's been watching you all game long.

- What boy?

- Oh, sit down Steve.

(whistle blares)

- Oh, come on Ty.

She's gotta be your girlfriend.

- Ty?

Only my friends in DC can call me Ty.

- I went to college in DC, that counts.

- Whatever.

- [Paul] Do you know her name?

- If it's her sister, it's Jackie.

- Ugh, why won't this game end?

- That's Noelle's brother.

- Ooh, stressful situation.

Last shot before sudden death.

(crowd cheers)

- Come on, Dylan!

Blow it past the body!

Come on!

Take the shot!

What?

(crowd cheering)

(buzzer blares)

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

- Game's over.

- Yeah, I know.

- So...

- So what?

- You're gonna bring me to Jackie or what?

- I don't even know if that's her.

- Well, one way to find out.

- Yeah, come on.

- Wait, where are you going?

- I told Tyler I'd meet him after the game.

- I'm coming with you.

- Fine, let's go.

- Be home for dinner girls!

We're gonna celebrate your brothers win.

- We wouldn't miss it.

- And girls, be careful, huh?

- Dad, come on.

How old are we?

- I can't help it.

(gentle music)

- Hi. - Hi.

Great game, huh?

- Definitely.

- You must be Jackie.

- I am.

- Noelle told me about you.

I'm Tyler.

- Nice to meet you.

And you are?

- Paul.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- How'd you do that?

- I don't know.

- Do what?

- Nothing. It's a painting.

It's nothing.

- You're really on a painting run, hey Noelle?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Hey, you guys want to grab something to eat?

- Oh we can't.

We have a celebratory dinner for our brother.

- What about drinks?

We can have a drink, can't we?

- Sure.

- Roosters Cafe?

- Yeah, sounds good.

- I want to stop by the studio first.

- Oh yeah. I'll go with you there.

- Okay. We'll meet you two there, okay?

- Yeah, sure.

- Okay.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Do you want me to drive?

- Yeah, that would be great.

- My car's right over here.

(gentle music)

- How did you do it?

- I don't know.

- I mean, the refs arm's different,

but that's oddly similar.

You took that at today's game?

- Yeah, as soon as he scored the goal.

- Are you a psychic?

- No, of course not.

I don't think so.

- You have to be something.

- Why?

- Look at the cookies you painted last night.

How'd you know I was going to bring those cookies

on that plate?

- Well, I didn't, I just painted them.

I was testing out the paintbrush.

- What's wrong?

- The paintbrush.

- What about it?

- It was left on the counter with a note that said,

"To Noelle, Love Santa."

- You're kidding.

- No, I thought it was from Daphne.

- Did you ask her?

- No, I forgot all about it.

- So let's go.

- Where?

- To Daphne's Doggy Palace to ask her.

(gentle music)

- Hey guys, how did it go?

Who won the game?

- We did, Dylan score the winning goal.

- That's great!

Are you guys okay?

- Daph, did you give me a paintbrush?

- Well, yeah, I've giving you lots of paintbrushes.

I think the first one I gave you was in grade three.

- What about yesterday?

- Yesterday?

- Did you give me a paintbrush yesterday?

- No, was I supposed to get you a paintbrush yesterday?

- No, but there was a paintbrush

with a card on the counter.

- Okay. What did the card say?

- "To Noelle, Love Santa."

- Love Santa?

- Yeah. Santa.

It was on the counter after you left.

- I don't remember anything on the counter after I left,

just the balloons.

- I didn't think so.

- Is something wrong with the paintbrush?

- Well, I wouldn't say something's wrong with it.

- Well, I wouldn't call it a normal paintbrush.

- Okay, now you guys are really confusing me.

- You're going to think I'm crazy.

- I'm never going to think you're crazy.

- It's a magic paintbrush.

- A magic paintbrush that can paint the future.

- Okay. Now I think you're crazy.

- Well, she painted that plate of cookies

before I even brought him in last night.

- Oh, come on!

That could be a coincidence.

- I painted Dylan scoring a winning goal.

- Yeah but Dylan is a really good hockey player.

I'm sure he scored tons of goals.

- Daphne!

- Okay, uh-huh, yeah.

How about this?

You paint something that could never happen

and we'll see if it comes true.

- Like what?

- Like...

Tyler proposing.

- What? - What?

- Yes.

Yes!

This is a great idea.

You paint a painting of Tyler just as he is in this outfit,

holding the ring, proposing.

- That's silly.

- Well, I don't have a ring

and it's not like I was planning on proposing

for our first date, right?

- See, this is a great idea.

I have great ideas.

Good, go, bye, do that.

- Fine.

Come on, Tyler.

I've got a painting to do.

- Have fun!

Bye Tyler!

Oh, I know Ms. Daphne.

They are crazy, but you are wonderful.

Well, thank you my beautiful Shih Tzu.

Okay.

- Well I guess I better tell Jackie we can't come.

- Yeah, I'm sure Paul will be real torn about it.

- Hey, Jackie, something came up in the studio.

We can't make it.

- Oh, okay.

I'll see you at home.

- Okay. Bye.

- Is everything okay?

- Something came up at the shop,

but they can't make it.

- So it's just us then?

- Yeah, I guess so.

- Great. Let's order.

- Do you really think the paintbrush is magic?

- I don't know.

- Daphne could be right, right?

- I don't know.

- Do you think it's going to work?

- And you're going to propose?

No, of course not.

- Maybe not now.

- Tyler, don't be ridiculous.

We haven't even gone on a date yet.

- Do you want to?

- Not right now.

- You might want to, right?

- Sure maybe.

Yeah, I guess.

- Who knows when that's going to be?

- Come on. You haven't even kissed me yet.

- Do you want me to?

- That's that's beside the point.

I don't want you to cloud this.

- Could what?

- This, this experiment.

- Noelle, I'm not going to propose to you today.

I promise!

Okay. Noelle, would you like to have dinner tonight?

- I can't have my brother's victory dinner.

What about after?

- Sure.

What do you want to do?

- What about ice cream?

My Aunt Viv says the town creamery is pretty good.

- It is.

- So it's a date then?

Right?

- Right.

Sit still.

- I've been painted before.

- Well it's just going to be a rough sketch.

- It's still pretty cool.

- You can say that after I'm finished.

- Do you want me to smile?

- [Noelle] No.

- What do you want me to do?

- Just nothing.

Stop moving.

- Sorry.

- There.

- You done?

- Well, I still have to paint it.

- Can I see it?

- No, not until it's finished.

It'll take about an hour.

I'll lock the door and then I can get it finished.

Well then I'm going to go next door

and help out a little bit.

I'll lock up the front.

I'll just go out the back.

- Okay, I'll come over when it's done.

- Okay.

(gentle music)

- Are you sure you don't mind staying?

- No, not at all.

I can use the extra cash.

- Thank you, I really appreciate it, Mandy.

May I help you?

- I hope so.

- Hi Mrs. Halsen, is everything okay?

- No, I'm afraid it isn't.

- [Mandy] What's the matter?

- I was here yesterday.

- Did something happen?

- Who are you?

- I'm Joe's nephew, Tyler.

I'm running a coffee shop for now.

Did somebody bother you yesterday?

- Oh no, no, nothing like that.

I mean, everybody here is wonderful.

- What's wrong, Mrs. Halsen?

You seem so upset.

- I am Amanda, dear.

You see, I went to put on my jewelry this morning

and I can't find my engagement ring.

- Oh no!

- I don't remember where I took it off

or if it might've fallen off

because I've lost so much weight

since Mr. Halsen passed away.

- You sure have.

- So I retraced my steps from yesterday

and I just can't seem to find it.

I came in here for coffee, but I was here so quickly.

I doubt it's here, so.

- What did you do when you were here?

- Well, I, I came here and I ordered a coffee here

and I picked it up over there.

- Were you wearing gloves?

It was cold yesterday.

- I was, but I already looked inside of them.

- Were you wearing them in here?

- You know what I was,

but I took them off so I could get my money

out of my wallet.

- I swept the floor last night.

I'm sorry, I didn't find anything in the dustpan.

- Oh...

Yeah, well, this was my only hope.

My last hope actually.

I don't know what I'm going to do without that ring.

It was my connection to Marty.

- Don't give up, Mrs. Halsen.

Maybe it's in a vent or something.

We'll help you look.

- Really?

- [Tyler] Absolutely!

- Thank you. Thank you very much.

I did cross over this way with my coffee.

It could be anywhere.

- Tyler! Tyler!

I think I see something, but I can't reach it.

Come here.

- Let me see.

- Okay.

- Is it my ring?

- I don't know.

- [Tyler] Oh yeah, yeah.

Let me just.

Is this what you're looking for?

- [Noelle] Tyler, I finished my painting.

- Yes! That's it!

- Tyler, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Oh, what a wonderful painting.

- Thank you.

- How did you know that Tyler was going to find the ring?

- I got to go.

- Noelle!

- Thank you so much, young man.

Thank you!

You're my hero!

I'm so grateful.

- Of course.

Noelle, wait!

- Thank you.

Oh my gosh.

- [Tyler] Noelle!

- This isn't happening!

This isn't happening, Tyler!

- How did you do that?

- I didn't.

I just painted what Daphne said.

- Did you call her?

- She's on her way?

- Maybe she set it up with Mrs. Halsen.

- Maybe.

- You even got the detail of the ring right.

- Seriously?

- Yeah, it's actually a pretty good painting.

- Well you can have it.

- I can?

- And take this one.

- [Tyler] Are you sure?

- And take this one.

- [Tyler] This is for you brother.

- Just take them all.

- Noelle, calm down.

- Calm down?

- Yes, calm down.

- I'm painting a future.

How am I supposed to calm down?

- That sounds ridiculous.

You're not painting the future.

These are just all coincidences, Noelle.

- Whoa, it came true?

Did you propose?

- No, I just found some random person's ring.

- Oh, I see.

- But the painting came true Daph.

- Oh well maybe it's just a coincidence.

- That's what I said.

- Can one of you try?

- What?

- Paint a picture.

See if it comes true.

- Not me, I got three golden retrievers in 10 minutes.

- Then you try, Tyler.

- I don't know the first thing about painting.

- I'll help you.

- Noelle...

- Please!

- I don't, I don't know what to paint.

- Anything!

Go somewhere, paint something.

- Noelle, I need to talk to you.

Now.

- I'll be right back.

Daphne?

Daphne, what is wrong?

- What are you doing?

- Huh?

- What are you doing?

- I don't know what you mean.

- Noelle Palmer, you are acting like a crazy person.

You were self-sabotaging.

- I'm painting the future, Daph!

- Okay, do you hear yourself?

You can't literally paint the future.

Look, two weeks ago,

you thought that nobody

was going to come to the opening of your store.

You sold $10,000 that night.

- What does that have to do with anything?

- Stop.

Five months ago, you got out of a really bad relationship.

You got your heart broken

and you said that no one would ever love you again.

Right?

Well, now you have this amazing guy

following you all over town

and you were pushing him away.

- [Noelle] But- - I'm not done.

It has not snowed here all winter season

and businesses are struggling.

You may not understand this

because you're a new business owner,

but without ski tourism,

these places can barely keep their doors open.

Cuppa Joe coffee was probably doing a lot better last year,

but Tyler doesn't know that because he's new too.

I just talked to Sadie and they don't even think they can

keep their restaurant open next month

because they can't afford to pay their overhead.

Same with Flanagan's Pub, the bed and breakfast.

I mean, even Wintergreen Inn is having troubles.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

- What?

- Noelle, you are so stubborn.

You have everything right in front of you.

You keep focusing on things that don't matter instead of,

instead of looking at your true gift,

your own authentic artistic ability.

You're focusing on a material item

given to you by a stranger.

Accept the gifts that you're given,

but embrace the ones that you already have.

- I love you, Daph.

- Right back at ya.

Don't make me cry.

I'm leaving.

- Okay, bye.

- Noelle, I've really-

- I'm sorry.

- For what?

- For being a little crazy there.

I'm overwhelmed.

- Yeah, I can understand that.

- But I'm really glad I met you, Tyler.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Life has been a lot lately in this whole paintbrush thing

really has me freaking out.

- You just need to relax.

What if,

what if I just take you out to dinner tonight?

- Okay.

No, I have a dinner for my brother.

What time is it?

- 4:30.

- Okay. We have enough time.

- Time for?

- I have an idea.

Meet me here at 7:30. Okay?

- For what?

- For our date of course.

- I don't think I'm ever going to understand you.

- Don't worry, you don't have to.

- Do I still get these paintings?

- Not the hockey one, that's from my brother.

But here.

- Thanks.

- Just be careful, it's still wet.

- Thanks for making lasagna mom.

- It was so good.

- Only the best for my little champion.

- You really are one heck of a shot, Dyl.

- Thanks.

Yeah, it felt really good.

I'll never forget it.

- Actually, I made sure I'll never forget it.

- What do you mean?

- [Jackie] Noelle?

- [Noelle] Hang on, it's a surprise.

- Like the one dad's picking up at the bakery?

- How did you know?

- Mrs. McLarney called and she said she's making a cake

with my Jersey number on it.

- Typical.

- Congratulations Dylan.

- Holy crap!

- Dylan!

- I mean, wow Noelle, this is awesome.

- How did you paint that so fast?

- Must have a magic paintbrush or something.

- Something like that.

- Noelle, this is really awesome.

- I'm glad you like it.

I was going to give it to you on Christmas,

but this seemed more appropriate.

- That means so much to me.

- Don't go getting soft on me, kid.

- This is probably the best gift I've ever gotten.

- Really?

You like it that much?

- Nah, don't let it get to your head, sis.

- Mom, do you mind if I don't clean up after dinner?

I've got a date.

- Oh, with a scorekeeper guy.

- Tyler, yeah.

- Go ahead Noelle.

- I can do it for you.

- Hey. - Hi.

Lock the door, would you?

- Okay.

You ready for our date?

- I actually want to show you something

I've been working on.

- Okay.

- Come with me.

- What's this?

- What do you think it is?

- It looks like you painting in front of your window?

- Exactly.

- I don't get it.

- Well Daphne made me realize

that everything that's happened to me over the past few days

has been truly a gift.

From this paintbrush, to meeting you.

- I like where this is going.

- She also made me realize that everybody in this town

has been struggling and I've been really, really good.

I've been really, really lucky.

- What are you doing?

- I'm adding a little bit of Christmas magic.

- Snow?

- Snow.

- No way!

- It worked.

- This can't be happening!

- It worked!

Come on, come on!

Go outside!

It worked!

- Noelle!

Did you paint this?

- I did!

It worked!

(dog barks)

- Oh, Noelle!

(car door slams)

- You!

- [Man] Noelle, it's so good to see you again!

- You ran over my paintbrush.

- Oh dear.

- Noelle, it was just an accident.

- This is the man that gave it to me.

- Santa? - Santa?

- I wouldn't say that too loudly if I was you.

- But you are Santa, right?

- Does it really matter who I am, Noelle?

Does it?

- Well of course.

- No, dear it doesn't.

What matters is that you believe in magic.

- Magic?

- Yes!

- What kind of magic?

- Oh, all kinds of magic, Tyler.

- Tyler, how do you know my name?

Did you tell him my name?

- There's the magic of Christmas.

The magic of love.

And then there's that most important magic of all.

- The magic of Santa?

- (chuckling) No Daphne, no.

The magic that lives in all of us.

- The paintbrush?

- The paintbrush was just a paintbrush.

The truth is Noelle that the magic

has always been inside you to make your dreams come true.

- I have?

- Why didn't you just tell her that in the first place?

- Because she wouldn't have believed me.

I mean, come on, an old man looks like Santa.

No!

You had to find this confidence yourself.

- Which I did when I painted the snow.

- Yes!

- I knew if I painted it snowing it would.

And it did!

I believed and the magic within myself.

Is that right?

- It certainly is.

- Well, what about the cookies and the hockey game?

And in the ring?

- It's a mere coincidence.

The paintbrush isn't magical.

If I gave magical gifts to everybody, ah.

People have to find their own magic.

Merry Christmas, Noelle.

- Merry Christmas.

(gentle music)

- Bye Santa!

- [Narrator] As Santa drove away,

the three friends stood and stared.

They couldn't believe this new secret they shared.

The weather was wintry for the rest of the season

and only these three and exactly the reason.

The ice skaters skated.

The skiers, they skied.

The sledders were sledding with incredible speed.

Their Christmas was white and Santa was jolly,

for snow had returned to the Hills of Mount Holly.

- Happy New Year.

- [Customer] Thank you.

- Thank you.

- [Mr. Carlyle] Hey, Noelle.

So nice to see you.

- Happy New Year, Mr. Carlyle.

- I was hoping you'd be here

because I want you to meet my wife, Janice.

- Oh, it's so lovely to meet you, Noelle.

- It's very nice to meet you, Mrs. Carlyle.

- Oh, please, call me Janice.

You are so talented!

- Thank you so much.

- I absolutely adore that painting.

And John tells me that he's commissioning

some of your paintings for our hotels.

- I will be in New York next weekend to take a look.

- Then you must let me take you out to dinner.

- Oh that sounds lovely!

Thank you.

- Hi.

- Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Carlyle, this is my boyfriend, Tyler.

- Nice to meet you.

- Oh, you should come with Noelle to the city next weekend.

- Maybe I will.

- Well, we just wanted to stop by say hello.

The skiing this weekend was incredible.

- I'm so glad you're enjoying yourselves.

Are you going to the town square for fireworks?

- We wouldn't miss it.

This is such an interesting piece.

How much?

- [Noelle & Tyler] It's not for sale.

- Okay then.

- Happy New Year kids.

- You too.

- Some of Aunt Viv's famous hot cocoa.

- Thank you.

- So are you ready to go to the fireworks?

- You really want to go?

- Yeah, Aunt Viv said you don't want to miss them.

They're magical.

- Tyler, I've got all the magic I need right here.

(gentle music)

- [Narrator] The fireworks display lit the sky

New Year's Eve

as people huddled and cuddled like you wouldn't believe.

Winter was here.

They were thankful for snow, but who should they thank?

They just didn't know.

A talented artist had played Santa's elf

by embracing the magic she found in herself.

So the lesson, my friends,

should you feel you're adrift

is to just look within and find your true gift.

Embrace it and share it.

You're sure to shine bright.

- [Noelle] Happy New Year to all and to all a good night.
