Are you sure
this is the place?

Piper, the car service
has the exact address.

I even made him
repeat it to me three times,

and he complained every time!
So if he got it wrong,

let me know and
I will make him cry!

Andi, Andi, Andi.
Relax. This is the place.

Okay, today's talking points.
As of this phone call...

"Piper's Top Picks" has
officially launched

twenty-six
best selling campaigns.

Oh, Rawlings sends a
personal thank you by the way.

Today you're all smiles

because you're
announcing your very first

Christmas cookbook as an author.

"Christmas with Grammy
Rose"! Yay! Big smiles!

So what do you see?
What's your angle?

Well, looking around,
I'm leaning toward

'small town girl makes it big'.

I can sell a million of
these units by Christmas

if these yokels
think I'm like them.

Hi! Sorry!
I didn't mean you.

I totally meant her.

Ah, small town girl. I like it.

But what if
they ask about parents?

Talk about Mom, pivot to Grammy.
Dad does not have to come up.

Grammy would be so proud.

Aw, I'm sure she would. But I'll
wait until next Thursday

to get sentimental
once there's time.

Put that on my calendar.

Okay, Andi.
I think they'll need me soon.

Hey, if my chair smells
like your perfume

by the time I'm back,
you're fired.

What? I'm not even
in your office.

I did not believe it
the last time,

and I don't believe it now.
Love you!

Whoa!

I am so sorry. It
looks nice though.

Thanks, but I already
accessorized this morning.

Tim Swan to set please.

Oh no.

What's wrong?

They're calling for
me and I'm nervous.

I don't do this
sort of thing.

Well what are you here for?

Not to brag, but I own a failing
Christmas Village in town.

Here, push your hair
out of your eyes.

They're nice. People will
be more sympathetic.

Ah, lose this tie.
You're not applying

for a management position
at a family restaurant.

And here.
It's Christmas time.

The scarf will let people
think they can trust you.

But they can trust me.

Well, that's the spirit.

Someone please
send Tim Swan to set.

Oh, if you think you're
going to throw up, just smile.

Hey everyone.
Don't worry about it!

The host will
wrangle the guest!

All the big talk show
hosts do this. Right?

Thank you!

Good morning and welcome to
Christmas Country Cheer.

I'm your host Nina here
with your cohost Maria.

And this week we're in Winter
Ridge, featuring local people,

showing you how they
spread their own brand of

Christmas Country Cheer!

Winter Ridge style!
I can't wait, Nina!

Our first guest today is North
Pole Christmas Village owner

Timothy Swan!

Hey, welcome, Tim!

Good to see you.

Have a seat.

Tim, your Christmas Village
must be a hub of excitement

this time of year.
-Yeah.

Uh...

Now the notes say you want to
tell us a funny elf story?

That's an easy slide.

Tim?

I'm sorry what?

What is it
with Mondays, guys!

No, sorry.

Bad news! Bail now?!

What's up?

You need to abort! Get out!

Oh goodness. Looks like
someone made a friend!

My friends don't knock my phone
out of my hands and break it.

Can't you control
that beast?

-Archie.
-What?

That's his name. Archie.

No no no no no.
You're not hearing the part

that I care about.

Give me your phone.

Now. It's an emergency.

I'm so sorry,
I never bring mine with me.

Archie tends to knock
it out of my hand.

Three so far this year,
actually.

Oh, only three?

So Tim, I understand
you are the owner and operator

of the North Pole Christmas
Village theme park here in town.

Does this mean you've got the
inside scoop with Santa?

That would be
a big yes.

You know you remind me of one
of those bobbing dolls' heads!

Would you care to
expand on that?

My kids have one of those dolls.

I meant Santa. Let's
talk about Santa.

Nice. Nice, nice big guy.

Tis the season!

I hope he's better at running
his theme park than he is on TV.

He definitely has a face
for television though.

I wonder if he likes dogs.

Hmmm.

Fifty bucks
says he faints.

You want in on that action?

That's our dad.

Oh, of course he is.

So what is it
that you do?

I own a public relations company
that represents literary works.

-Oh.
-What does that mean?

It means that I help
people make books

that other people want to
buy, so they can get rich.

Could you make a
book for my dad?

I don't know if I'm
that good, kid.

Are you married?

Is that the first question
you ask everybody?

Do you like marshmallows?

And that's the second.
Ah, why don't you switch

those two around. Open with the
marshmallows. It's friendlier.

See? I told you everybody
likes marshmallows.

I like your style.

Here's five bucks. Go buy
yourself some marshmallows.

Oh, but ask
your dad first.

Ms. Jansen. We're
ready for you.

Oh.

I have a great idea!
Let's bring out our next guest.

She puts the PR in promoting.
Her company "Piper's Pick's"

has helped authors sell millions
of books. But today she's here

to promote her very own, brand
new Christmas cookbook,

"Christmas with Grammy Rose".

And to save this show!

Piper Jansen!

-Hi.
-Hi.

So great to have you here.

-Hi.
-Hi!

Yeah, sit right there.

Piper! Thank you so much
for being here, for coming

all the way from Madison Avenue
in New York City to see us.

And especially this
time of year!

Oh! Thank you so much for having
me. I'm a huge fan!

She helped me not, ah....

Not important.

So! I understand
your new cookbook

has some personal
significance for you?

It does! You know, I just
love Christmas. Right?

Me too! Uh huh!

I mean, what's not to love?
The family, the warmth!

And in my house we always knew
it was Christmas time

when we could smell my Grammy
Rose's sweet potato and

marshmallow pie. Mmmmm.

And who doesn't love
marshmallows!

Exactly. So when I wanted
to do a holiday book,

I knew the exact ingredient
it needed to become

a Piper's Top Pick... my Grammy
Rose's original recipes.

I'm surprised you're
saying 'original'

with all the allegations.

Allegations?

This morning, Brock Shepard from

Cubbie's Old Fashioned
Cakes, is claiming that you

stole all the recipes from his
bakery and his new cookbook.

How do you respond?

Oh, well, ummm. I, I know Brock.

I fired him
several years ago.

So you're saying this is a
vengeance move? MMmmmmm! Juicy!!

No, not so sure about that.
This is the first I'm hearing

of this news, but I can assure
you that these recipes have been

in my family for generations.
There was no stealing involved.

Looks like someone could use a
little PR of their own.

The plot gets thicker.

Well, our time here is almost
up. Thanks to everyone

who joined us today and...

Oh wait!

Um, I did not even get
a chance to talk about

the real reason
why I am here today.

-Really?
-Oh.

Uh huh, yeah. You see, I
received an email

a few weeks back,
from these two little kids.

And I'd like to read that
for you both, if I may.

-Please.
- Yeah, of course.

Okay.

Dear Piper. I'm sure
you probably have

millions of people requesting
your help right now.

But we are from a small town
called Winter Ridge.

Our dad owns a place called the
North Pole Christmas Village.

What?

It's not doing so well
right now. And it sure would be

awesome if you could come in
and helps us create

a "Piper's Top Pick" book about
our little theme park

and help our dad. We don't have
any money, but with

Christmas just around the
corner, we thought that maybe

you could give us...
a Christmas miracle.

-Oh my gosh.
-That is the sweetest thing.

My kids sent you that?

They sure did! So
folks, I'm here today

because I'm actually
going to help you

create the very next "Piper's
Top Pick" book, free of charge!

Wow!
- That's amazing!

That's a touching story!

-That's gorgeous!
-What do you think Tim?

I, I don't know
what to say?

Piper, you might be the sweetest
guest we've ever had!

Certainly a walking miracle.

Ah, stop! Stop!

I'll say!

And on top of that, this
young lady right here

wants to adopt Archie!

Oh!
Do I?

You're not
the only one who knows

how to spin
things, Sweetie.

Someone is just overflowing with
Christmas Country cheer!

Well, you know Nina, that's me!

Dog loving, Christmas Country
cheer flowing, Piper.

I do respect your game.

-When?
- Oh, when what?

When did my kids
send you the email?

Oh that's right, your kids. You
know...

Unfortunately we're out of time
today. I'm Nina saying,

Keep it Cheery!

Sorry, but all's fair
in dogs and war.

No, you don't understand,
I don't live here.

I can't adopt this dog.

Alright. I guess I'll just have
to come back on the show

tomorrow and tell them how sad I
was that you only pretended to

adopt Archie so you could make
yourself look better.

Oh, you are good.

That's what we in the adoption
business call checkmate.

Oh, you're gonna need those.

See ya!

-Hey
-Oh!

You left before I
could say thank you.

So how does this work?
Do I have to write the book?

Because I'm a little bit
worried I'd be worse at that

than I am at doing interviews.

I'll figure something out.

Cool! So maybe you could come by
and check out the place?

Figure out how to get started?

Sure. Ah, I'm kind of stuck here
at the moment though.

Have ever owned a dog?

No.

Kids!
Take the dog for Miss...

I just realized
I don't know your name.

Piper. Piper Jansen.

Well, let's take Piper's dog for
a walk. We'll get some food,

a couple of treats
for this fella, and, ah,

you can get settled in here.

Great, thank you. Is there a
cell phone store in town?

♪ Deck the
halls with boughs of holly ♪

♪ Fa la la
la la la la la ♪

♪ Tis the season to be jolly

♪ Fa la la
la la la la la ♪

You're pretty good.

Thank you.

Do you have a card?

No. It's a good idea though.
Um, I'm here every morning!

-Keep it up!
-Thanks very much.

What happened?

Sorry. I tried to warn you,
it looks like Cubbie's

is saying you
stole their recipes.

That's insane.
Those are Grammy's recipes.

Get him on the line.

Already dialing.

How many times do I have to deal
with this bottom-feeding jerk...

Hey Pippy! Saw you on TV.

Looks like you are having some
delicious Christmas cookies.

Good for you!

Do we go back and
forth for a bit

or do we just
get right to it?

What can I say Pip Pip?

You Straight up
bootlegged those recipes.

and my lawyer bros are killing
your book as we speak.

Well bring it on Brock,

because I got
these recipes personally

from my great grandmother.

Andi, take a photo of the
handwritten recipes

and have our lawyers send a
cease and desist letter to...

Um...

Andi? What?

They just sent us theirs.
And it says you stole them.

I wish I could
see that pout right now, P.J.

That would be the best
Christmas present ever!

Andi, hang up on him.

Yeah, ooouuu!

Okay. This is fixable.
I mean, I have no clue how,

but it is.

Hold the book.

Are, are you sure?

I mean the publisher's not going
to be crazy about...

Call in a favor.

If people believe Brock, I'll
lose my credibility

and it would ruin me. I need
some time to figure this out.

I'll stay here,
work on this fluff piece,

get everyone feeling Christmasy
so they forget about

Brock's garbage
and that will buy us some time

to understand what's
going on here.

The publisher
will thank me.

You sure?

One hundred percent.

Andi, I need you to contact our
lawyer and have her go over

Brock's cease and desist.
Ask her if it's for real,

if there are any loopholes.
Just get her whole

opinion on the situation, okay.
And then Andi, I need you to

figure out how Brock got
access to Grammy's recipes.

I mean maybe his family
has some connection to her

that we don't know about.
Oh wow, I hope not.

Okay. You are the queen.
I'll work this end.

All night if I have to.

Thanks sis.

Right after you call the lawyer

can you book me
a place to stay here?

Yeah. No problem.

Oh, and I'll send you a bag with
some clothes and makeup

and everything else you need.

Thank you. You're the best.

I really do not want to
have to go shopping here.

So... Neither of you
actually sent the e-mail?

-Nope.
-E-mails are for old people.

That doesn't make any sense.

Hey! You made it.

Look before we get into all
this, I was just asking my kids,

and it doesn't seem like either
one of them sent you an e-mail.

Is it poss...
-There was no e-mail.

I've done enough of those shows
to know that someone like Nina

is always looking for a sound
byte she can use to ruin me.

I had to be quick on my
feet and make a call.

Oh.

Now you can either
call me a liar,

and send me on my merry way
because you can't get over it.

Or you can accept the fact it
was just a little white lie,

and the good definitely
outweighs the bad

for the sake of your business

because you now have
someone on board

who you'd never be able to
afford in your wildest dreams,

to help fix your theme park.

Wow. That certainly
was honest of you.

I mean about you
being dishonest.

I... don't know what to say?

You say 'thank you'
and we get started.

No more lies moving
forward. Agreed?

Don't expect me to tell
you the place looks nice.

The snowman's good
though. We can keep that.

Well, what do you think?

This is the theatre?

Who could tell?

It's a big hit with the
parents and kids.

Why wouldn't it be a
big hit? If we get a good act.

You don't have an act?

We have a reindeer.

Okay, he's pretty cute.

I puted on his bowtie.

Does um... That affect
the experience?

It could be part of
a nice experience

without that bit of
extra stuff around.

Have you considered moving

that giant stash of extra stuff?

Well storage is full and you got
to keep it somewhere, right?

You never know when
you're going to need it.

I think it's safe to say you're
never going to need that.

Are there any
charities in the area?

Of course. Why do you ask?

Are those sheep on
your home page?

You mean the goats.

Right. I always thought reindeer
for pulling the sleigh.

Reindeer
equal Christmas, right?

Yeah but goats plus
Christmas decorations

equal Christmas goats.
Who doesn't want goats?

They're smart, friendly,
and believe it or not

highly entertaining.
My kids love them.

And besides that,
they help clear the land,

their milk is delicious...
Do I really need to go on?

I guess not.

We couldn't get any reindeer
sent down from the North Pole.

So... They were all too
busy helping Santa.

Well at least Santa
sent you fresh snow

and decent looking
trees for the background.

See! I told you the
website wasn't all 1992.

Yeah, but. Okay. That,
that page isn't too great.

Same with that one.

Yeah, that one too.

Okay.

This is actually my
favorite attraction.

The kids just love feeding
the Christmas goats.

Do they love it more when
there are actual goats?

They do. Yes.

Sadly, Paige left the gate open

and the goats went out to graze
in the woods. And, um...

They preferred freedom?

It sure seems like it.

We see them all the time.
Leave their food out for them.

But, um, just can't catch them.

And this young man?

Oh that's Hank.
He looks after the goats.

You can probably find something
else to do today Hank!

Gotcha Tim.

Shall we?

See you Hank.

So what time do you open?

About four hours ago.

I see.

Tim, let me ask
you something.

Of course.
Ask me anything.

Why on Earth did
you buy this place?

I guess I thought
it would be cool

to raise my kids somewhere
magical. You know?

My favorite thing about
Christmas is it was the only day

of the year I'd always see
everyone happy.

There's no fighting, no being
rude. Just genuine happiness.

So I figured, why not give
my kids Christmas every day?

Sorry about that.

My wife died when they
were really young.

And ever since they started
watching Christmas movies

they think I need a wife.

I'm so sorry.
I didn't realize.

Thanks. Working as an
architectural engineer

was a great job but they
had me working long hours,

and commuting even longer hours.

Paige and Declan were growing up
and I wasn't able to see it.

So, I needed a change.
And a big one.

So when you saw
this place...

I jumped.
It's just too bad

I didn't do some more
thinking before the jump.

What about you?

What about me?

What's your favorite
thing about Christmas?

Um, when it's over?

What? How can you
not like Christmas?

Oh, the commercialism,
the phony kindness,

the idea of a man climbing into
my house while I'm asleep.

You take your pick.

Piper! Christmas is awesome.
Okay, before you leave here,

I am going to convince you
that Christmas is awesome.

Give it
your best shot.

Alright, in the
meantime, let's get back

to fixing this place up. We
are going to need some photos

of you and the kids in
the snow for the book.

We'll need a photographer.

I know a guy! My best friend
Luke. He's a professional.

Oh. Perfect. In the meantime,
I'll interview you,

give our writer
something to work with.

What kind of stuff
are you looking for?

Think heartfelt. Stuff that
tugs on the heart strings,

something that shows real
emotion. People love that junk.

You'll sell a lot more books.

Well, I'm sure
it'll be horrible,

but you've convinced
me. I'll do it,

but only because it's
for the book. Sorry kids.

Can you watch Archie?

Sure.

Ah, there he is!

I saw you on TV
this morning boss!

Looks like all that
promotion is really paying off.

Looks like a couple of
people came in to see you.

See! If it wasn't for me
there'd be nobody here at all.

Oh, hopefully Piper here
can help us fix that.

Hey Grant, you think maybe you
could go do your um... Your job?

Ah, in a bit. I'm gonna
get a bite to eat.

Do you always talk
to your boss like that?

No. Sometimes I treat
him like crap.

Here's a thought. Why
don't you stop doing that

and start doing what
you're paid to do.

Oh, is that right? So what
if I don't... Cupcake?

-Tim.
-Yeah?

Do I have your permission
to do whatever it takes

to fix this place up?

-Yeah, of course.
-Great.

You're fired. Leave the
suit in the staff room.

Are you
kidding me with this?

You can't just come in here and
change the way things run

cause you don't like it.

Listen lady, you're gonna regret
ever crossing me! I'm---

Whoa! Easy, easy, easy.
Alright, I'm going.

You're gonna realize
what a mistake this was!

Hey, I guess that's
a point for you.

Okay. Time to
hire a new Santa.

That might be a little
harder than you think.

Way ahead of you.
Watch!

You might not have known it when
you hired that guy, but

there's actually agencies that
deal with this sort of thing.

Um...

Santa for Hire.

Hi. This might be a little last
minute seeing as Christmas

is just around the corner,
but I need your best Santa

to start work at the
North Pole Christmas Village

as soon as
possible, please.

Piper...

Sure thing!

In fact, our very best Santa
just became available.

Should I send him over?

Yes! That would be wonderful.
Thank you very much.

So what time do you
want me to start?

Grant runs the Santa for
Hire agency in this town.

And he also runs the
Elves for Hire agency.

In case you're about
to call them next.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't
have reacted so quickly.

Nah, the guy's a jerk. Do
you know how many times

I wished I had the
guts to fire him?

Dad, what's going on?

Oh no.

Listen, kiddos,
Santa's just...

Going to check up on
things at his workshop.

Dad, Grant is not Santa.

It's about time you fired him.

He's not even jolly.

And apparently he's taking the
company suit for a walk too.

Don't worry. I'm on it.

-It's okay, yo---
-I got it!

Hey!

Pumpkin, ha ha. I guess you've
come to beg me to stay?

Not a chance. I
believe that costume

is property of the this
Christmas Village.

Well, I'm kind of wearing it.

Well, I guess you're going to
have to kind of "un-wear" it.

Hey.

Bad news or worse news?

Oh, uh, bad news first.

Our lawyer spoke to his lawyer
and apparently it's all legal.

I'm not sure how exactly,
but Brock acquired the rights

to the recipes
fair and square.

That is insane?! Well how is
this possibly the bad news?

What's the worse news?

Cubbie's Old Fashioned Cakes
is officially suing us.

What?!

They say that we don't have
the rights to the recipe,

and you firing Brock in the past
makes it seem like you were

maliciously trying to
destroy his book and career.

How can this get any worse?

Oh, Andi, I cannot
stand this holiday.

I really can't.

I know. I hate it too.
Mom called by the way.

Asking if we were
coming to Christmas.

Of all people how does
she still love this?

Hey! Personal moment
between sisters here.

Keep stripping, St. Knickers.

I don't even get it.
Of everyone out there,

you'd think a single mom, who
spent her life cleaning up

after all those ungrateful
people in that department store,

would see this as a stupid
money grab more than anyone.

I agree. All people care about
is bragging about how money

they spent going into debt
to buy someone a gift

that they didn't even want.

I wonder if it's because of dad.

What? Dad walking out
on us on Christmas Eve

makes mom love
Christmas even more?

No, I just wonder if
she's always trying

to overcompensate by
putting on a big show.

You know, for us kids.

Like all those lavish dinners we
used to have at Grammie's.

Although, I always
did look forward to

Grammie's Christmas cookies.

I miss her. She was the best.

So are we going to talk
about what you're doing?

There you go toots.
It's all yours.

Good luck.

Okay, this guy is
a terrible person.

And he's our only
Santa Claus in town.

Andi, I need a miracle.

I'm not thinking that it's a
miracle but the driver

should be there any
minute with your bag.

At least it's one thing you
don't have to worry about.

You said the back
gate, right?

You really are great. I do
not tell you that enough.

Thanks.

I paid the driver already.
I'll gave him a nice tip, too.

Oh, I think he's just arriving
now. I'll call you later okay.

Hi there. You must
be delivering...

Um you must be
delivering my bag?

I was told you needed a miracle.

I promise kiddos.

Santa's going to be back
and better than ever!

Maybe if we write a
letter to the real Santa,

he'd come and visit.

Ah, honey. He's just so
busy this time of year.

Did someone say 'save the day'?

I don't think so?

I took a chance.

Everyone, I'd like
to introduce you to

your brand new Santa Claus!

Hello everyone!

Santa!

It's really you.

How have you been this year?

Good thank you.

How did you do this?

I'd like to tell you
some elaborate story

that would make me
sound incredible,

but the truth is... I
just got pretty lucky.

Santa, would you like
to meet your new boss?

Hi Santa.

Glad to have you
at our North Pole.

I'm so happy to be here. I
can't wait to get to work.

Great! You can head right on
over to your work station.

Is there anything I can do to
make your first day here great?

You already have.
You already have.

We're going to do
everything we can

to make your
wishes come true.

- Thanks Santa.
- Oh, you're welcome.

I had Andi do a
background check on him,

we're totally clear.

I was wondering how to
bring that up tactfully.

If you'd like to keep your job,

we'll call this morning
your morning break.

You've got yourself a deal!

Hey!

If you leave, you're
on my naughty list.

I'm okay with that!

Humpf!

I'm glad to be on your team!

We've got a new Elf!

Hello?

-You must be Piper.
-Yes.

Come in!
Come in!

Oh! Look at us.

We're hugging.
Strangers hugging.

I'm Millie! Welcome.

And you have a dog.

Yes, sorry. I guess I do.

It was kind of forced on me. I
hope that's alright?

Of course it's alright!

Who's a happy fella?

Are you ready to see your room.

Sure.

You came at just the right time.

Oh yeah. Why is that?

I just decorated for Christmas!

Oh boy!

Lucky girl or what?

See, I knew you'd love it.

Now can I get you anything?

No, thank you. I think I'm
just going to get some rest.

Um... I've never really
done a B&B before.

Do I just dial zero if I'd
like some room service?

Oh, no. If you want something,

you just give that wall
a good old thumping.

I'm right beside you.

Quaint.

Now let me get
out of your hair.

Good night love.

Good night.

Not a chance.

Did you need something hon?

Nope! All good here!

Okay, this isn't going to work.

Woah, someone's here
bright and early.

No success sleeping last night.

Ah, it doesn't seem
like getting here early

makes much of
a difference.

Are we sure about that?

Hey dad, can we go play?!

Yeah of course. Listen
to your sister.

Hey! Archie's hanging
out with Hank.

Do you want to
go check on him?

Sure! Come on!

How is this possible?

What can I say? I know how
to turn things around.

For other
people at least.

Look how happy they are!

Seriously, how did
you pull this off?

I sent out a bunch
of notifications

on all of your social
media platforms.

We, we have social
media platforms?

You do now.

-Hello.
-Hey Luke!

Piper, this is my friend
Luke, the photographer.

I asked him to come
and take some photos

for the book.
- Oh, great to meet you.

Thank you so much
for doing this.

Of course. I love Tim. Besides,

this will be a pleasant change
from my usual line of work.

Oh really? What do you do?

I'm a forensic photographer.

Of course you are.

He's really good.

Show her some of your work.

No, I'll take your word for it.

Shall we take a tour?

Lead the way!

What?
How did you do this?

I stopped by the
community theatre

and tracked down some
of their set designers.

I have to admit I
wasn't expecting much

but they're great...
For a small town.

I wish I had
thought of that.

Oh, I also offered
them the space

for rehearsals
during off hours.

Piper, thank you.
That's great!

Oh don't thank me yet. Their
entire next season's musicals.

Oh, um, all the
stuff was picked up

by the daycare
down the street.

They said it was for their
elite theatre program.

That's incredible.
Thank you so much!

Hey everybody!

Who's excited for Christmas?

Yeah!

Who's ready for presents?

Me!

How many more days
until Santa comes?

Eight!

It's eight! Yeah!

It feels like they
have your approval?

What? Approval?
Yeah they do!

I taught him everything!

Ready!

-Whoa!
-Cool!

Is that a game?

That's a handsome
looking website.

When did you find time
to finish it so quickly?

First, I sweet-talked one of
the country's top web designers

into working night
and day. For free.

Free? Really?

Practically. I promised
her a high end day spa.

And I do love a good spa day.

Wait. You designed this?

There's still more work
to be done but it's up,

functional, and not
completely dated.

Oh, I'm really not sure that
we're going to be needing

that one for the book.

No. That one's for the family.

Look! Archie.

How the heck did you
get the goats to come back?

This one I can't
take credit for.

Jack apparently has some
experience with farm animals.

Really?

I guess it pays to have a
Good Santa around here.

My mom says that I'm
not allowed to build

my own particle
accelerator,

because she thinks
it will be too unstable.

And I'm like Mom, I
can handle my atoms.

I believe
that you can.

So can I please have either
a particle accelerator

or a blue dress with
yellow flowers.

You got it.

It's kind of magical.

Settle down. There is
no such thing as magic.

You know what
else is magic?

Try me.

It seems that this
whole Christmas-thing

is growing on you.

Whatever.

At least Hank's happy.

I'm so happy.

Ahhhhhh, I'm so sorry.

I didn't know you
were in here.

Oh don't be so shy love.

I'm just applying
my nightly face mask.

No problem.
I'll come right back.

Oh, don't be so silly.

There's plenty for both of us.

What is it?

Why does it
smell so good?

Avocado, yogurt and honey.

It's my Grammy's recipe.

Oh yeah?
I had a Grammy too.

Does it work?

I'm 96 years old, love.

Thanks.

It smells delicious.

Oh!

Oh! How do you get
the cucumbers to stick?

Stick
where?

All the best bars
have snacks, babe.

♪ "Christmas Country Cheer
Opening Music" ♪

Good morning and welcome
back to another episode of

Christmas Country Cheer. As
always, I'm your host, Nina.

And I'm your
co-host, Maria!

Piper, I really don't
think I can do this.

It's fine, remember
what we talked about.

Smile, breathe,
eye contact.

And this week we're
back in Winter Ridge

to catch up on some
Christmas Country Cheer!

Please help me welcome
back to the stage,

Timothy Swan
and Piper Jansen!

Cheering and Clapping

-Hi Nina.
-Hi!

-Welcome back.
-Thank you so much!

Wonderful to see you!

Well thanks for having us back.
We're so excited to be here.

It's a treat to have you.
You've been busy.

Breathe...

- I'm sorry?
- Eye contact.

Nina, can i just take a
second to tell you

how much I love this
new hair style of yours.

Oh, you're so sweet!

So why don't you folks tell me

what you've been up to
at the North Pole?

Well, I gotta say, usually
when I start a book

it's quite tough, but I
have just been having

the time of my life out
here! I mean, first of all,

this town is
absolutely gorgeous.

-Uh huh.
-It's magical.

And I'm just very impressed with
the whole Christmas Village.

Tim is a really great father.

and he's got something
really special

going on for his kids up there.

Oooooh do I sense
something a little more

going on here
between you two?

Oh no. No. Purely professional.

Okay, okay. So I heard
through the grapevine,

the real Santa's
been hanging out

at your Christmas Village?

I mean, I don't know
how to explain it?

People have been flocking
to see Santa at the park.

In sort of a
magical kind of way.

The man's a rock star.

Well why don't the both
of you come on down

and visit us this
coming weekend

because guess what folks?

We are actually hosting
our very first annual

"Breakfast with Santa!"

-Oh sure!
-Oh yeah!

I mean where else can you have
cookies for breakfast, right?

And a portion of
the day's proceeds

will be donated to charity.

All...
All of the proceeds.

All the proceeds?

Ah, we're still working
out the details.

Well you heard it folks!
Get out your wallets

and head down to enjoy
some breakfast and

Christmas cookies with
Santa in the North Pole.

Cookies for breakfast! I
mean how cool is that?

Aaaaaaaaand....

Piper just told me backstage
that her and Tim are...

Nope.

Until next time, Winter Ridge!
Keep it Cheery!

Bye bye!

Music

Now you look like you'd
like to adopt a dog.

Oh, I do! I do!

Thank you! Thanks.

Aw. Christmas came early.

The children were nestled
all snug in their beds...

While visions of sugar plums,
danced in their heads.

What's a sugar plum?

I'm pretty sure that's
old people candy.

And mama in her kerchief,
and I in my cap,

had just settled our brains
for a long winter's nap.

When out on the lawn there arose
such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see
what was the matter.

Away to the window,
I flew like a flash!

Tore open the shutters
and threw up the sash.

Man, that guy
is a lifesaver.

Right? I can't believe
how lucky that was.

I don't know really
about luck? I mean...

Not again.

You gotta admit. He showed up
right when you needed him.

That is not a
Christmas miracle.

That is the right place
at the right time.

Okay, then
what about you?

What about me?

My business is failing
and you just happened

to be on the same show I
am to save my business?

I told you, I used you to
deflect some bad press.

Miracles come in all
shapes and sizes.

You can't argue that
one, that's science.

-I do not think so.
-Yeah?

Hey, um, I know you're
not into all this,

or anything to do with
happiness or joy.

But, ah...

Every year the kids and I make
a new ornament for the tree,

and we made you this.

You did? For me?

You can throw it
out, if you want.

Just maybe wait 'til
you're out of the park.

I don't want the
kids to see.

What? No. I...

Thank you. I love it.

Paige did the glitter.

Well it's the best
part. Very glittery.

Yeah, it doesn't
come off.

What do you mean,

you don't like
gingerbread houses?

It's either food
or it's a house.

It can't be both.

What about Hansel and Gretel?
They ate houses made of candy.

Yeah and then the
witch ate them.

What makes you like this?

Did you ring the bell,
or is that in my head?

Hey Kenny, it's Tim.

Timmy! Timmy-Tim-Tim!
Hey buddy!

You moved to Japan.
How's that going?

Um... No I didn't.

Load off my mind! What
can I do for you?

Well, this here is Piper,

and she's going to be helping us

with a Breakfast With
Santa at the village.

I'm sure.

And we'd love to hire you to
make the Christmas cookies

using my great
Grandmother's recipes.

What's wrong with my recipes?

I'm... sure nothing. I, I...

Look at your face.

Oh, it is classic Piper.

Yeah absolutely, I'll make
yours. Don't worry about it.

Honestly, I can
use the business.

The paper wrote a
little piece on me

and they called me
"peculiar" and "off putting".

So you're sure you want
to keep doing this?

Like, won't this get you in more
trouble with Cubbies?

No way. Those were my great
grandmother's recipes.

They're the ones
who stole them.

Ah but, hmmmm? What?

Um, just a big
corporation is trying

to steal my
Grammy's recipes

and pass them off
as their own.

That's how much I hate when
people steal family recipes!

I can tell.

Yeah! You ever hear of a little
thing called 'bubble gum'?

Sure.

Yeah, well you wouldn't have

if it wasn't for
my great great uncle Bob

who liked to blow
bubbles with tree sap.

Someone stole
the idea from him?

Yes! And now they're
bazillionaires and he is dead!

What, they killed him?

Yup, what? Killed him? No.

No, no, no, no. The sap
was really poisonous.

Yeah, he was a very stupid
man. You know what?

Don't worry about it. I'm
going to make your cookies,

and, ah, just 'cause
I like you so much,

I'm going to get to the bottom
of your bubble gum thing too.

Yeah, I had nothing to do with
the bubble gum. I just...

Don't question the madness.
They'll be delicious.

-Thanks Kenny.
-Uh huh.

-Thanks Kenny.
-Okay.

You people can't still
be here? You got to go.

Get out. I got to do this.

No, no, no. You start
with your own plate,

and then somebody
yells switch,

and you move to the
chair to your left,

but I went right. I almost
took Paige right out.

Sounds like you're
getting used to the simple life.

It's just different here.

Like, Andi, everybody holds the
door open for you.

Like even if you're
a block away.

Oh, you should test
that. Go really slow,

and see how long
they'll hold it for.

Oh, sorry. One sec.

Come on in.

Hey love, just popping
in to see if you wanted

to join our annual
Polar Bear Dip?

Millie! It's the
middle of the night?

The jump stops your heart,

and the cold water
starts it back up again.

I, I think I'll pass.
But thank you for the invite.

You need to live a little,
hon. Don't you forget that.

Baby steps Millie.

Sorry.
That was just Millie

inviting me for a swim
in the dead of winter.

Oh, so a regular Wednesday then?

Back to some business.

I have a decent writer working
on a feel good story,

but it doesn't quite
match the photos

that that forensic
guy Luke sent.

Oh no. Are they that bad?

You tell me.

Oh...

Yeah, maybe I can
get him to come back

and take some more, you
know, generic photos.

Without me.

Don't fight a good story, Pipe.

Yeah, yeah. Using my own
words against me. Not fair.

Alright, I'm crashing.

My boss is crazy
and freaks when I'm late.

Okay, sweet dreams.

I think this one
is perfect for the cover.

Okay fine, come on up.

But I warn you. I toss
and turn all night long.

All night long.

Looking right here
guys. Yup, perfect.

Wow! I love looking at their
eyes in these photos.

Wow. It's a great turn out.

She'd be proud Tim.
And so would your dad.

Congratulations sir!

Oh yeah, for what?

Your kids and my dog have
officially gone viral.

That is the cutest thing I
have ever seen.

Archie's a certified star.

Cute equals views,
views equals people,

and people equals money.

Speaking of. You really should
be charging for these photos.

No, I couldn't.

They can make a donation
to the food bank, though.

I'm telling you, people
pay a lot of money

for this Christmas
fuzziness.

No. Everyone deserves
a picture with Santa.

My dad was a photographer.
Did I ever tell you that?

No.

He's actually the one
who turned Luke onto it.

My uncle was the mall Santa, and
my dad took the photographs.

They agreed to
do it only if

the pictures were free for
everyone. I don't know?

Maybe it's why I'm failing.

I can't believe I'm
saying this, but

that's actually a
very sweet story.

Free pictures
it is. Oh.

Let me donate to
the Santa's pics,

to help with the costs.

Oh my goodness. A charitable
donation for Christmas?

Okay, settle down.

It's the end of the year and I
still need a few tax deductions.

You know what this is right?

If you say miracle, I'm
going to tear that up.

I didn't have to.
You just did.

You give me that back!

No, that is mine now!

No. No. No! It's mine now!

Oh, hey sir. Is your
son or daughter here?

Phtt! No!

Sorry. You've reached
the weight limit.

You show me where it says
there's a weight limit

for me to sit on
this man's lap.

Oh boy.

Kenny, we went through
this last year.

I have wishes too!!

Let me wish.

Here you go.

Please tell me you
have good news?

I wish it was Andi, but
we've gone through it

and the recipes
are identical.

Brock registered
them years ago.

I don't know how they
did it. But it's legal.

So they legally steal
my family's recipe,

and sue us for
good measure.

And there's a hearing
in a couple days.

I'm sorry, but they
want Piper there.

What if I come?
Speak on her behalf.

I tried that. Brock said, and
I quote, "No Dice a roo".

He wants to see Piper
fail in front of him.

Okay. Thanks Danielle.

I'll make sure she's
there.

Tracy, bring me my donut.

Wow! You guys have really
out done yourselves.

I feel like the
real deal.

Good morning Jack!

Morning Piper! We
were just saying

how wonderful
this all looks.

Oh, thank you. But
I did feel like

you were missing something.

Me? Really?

I think I have just the fix.

Ready?

All right,
keep em on love, I'm coming.

What good is a Santa
without his Mrs. Claus?

Very nice to meet you Santa.

The pleasure is all mine.

Piper, look at us!

Hey, have you two
elves seen my friends

Declan and Paige
anywhere?

Piper! It's us!

Oh my goodness! I didn't
even recognize you two.

Come on Archie.
Let's go dance.

Come on daddy.

You know, they really like you.

You think?

Children never really
seem to enjoy my company.

Well maybe it's how happy
you make their dad.

He's just happy because I came
and fixed up his business.

I've seen a lot of
smiles in my life,

and that right there.
That is not a smile

that comes from work.

It takes a whole lot of
love to smile like that.

It's... Just
my two cents.

Thanks Jack.

I don't know if I can
live up to all that.

I don't want my
legal issues

to embarrass him
or the Village.

I don't think he feels
that way.

It's not your fault, dear.

No, it's precisely my fault.

I know how important
legal clearances are.

You know, I do this on every
single one of my books.

Myself. Without fail!

But those are your
grandmother's recipes.

That's why I failed this time.

I knew better. I just, I
didn't think to do it.

Stop beating yourself up.

Come on. Christmas is right
around the corner!

You know, I have
an in with Santa.

And Santa Claus can fix
just about anything.

- Oh!

Piper here.

Hey Pipsqueak! How's my
favorite nobody?

What do you want Brock?

Oh, ouch. I'm just calling

to say no hard feelings
about tomorrow.

No hard feelings about what?

About the hearing. I'm
flying out special.

What hearing?

Ooooooooh you don't
even know about it yet!

Ahhhh I wish I could see
your face right now!

Are you alone? Is there
someone else there?

Ask them to take a picture of
you and send it to me.

Are you crying? Are
there tears?

Oh I hope there's
tears. If there's tears

make sure you
collect those things

and send them to me, right.

I want them
in a jar.

I'll give you a thousand
dollars an ounce!

Now tell you what, I'll give you
a thousand dollars a tear.

How about that?

Ah, she hung up again.

Hey, what's up?

Hi. Can you explain to me
why Brock is calling me

to tell me about a
hearing tomorrow?

I'm sorry. I was just
about to call you,

I swear. I was up all
night trying to find a way

that they would
move it for you.

You knew about this yesterday?

Hey Andi! Thanks for
staying up all night

trying to find a
way around this.

I know you're doing
everything you can!

You're right. I'm, I'm so sorry.

It's just, ahh,
tomorrow of all days.

Yeah, I'd love to tell you
that it was a coincidence,

but he saw you on
that morning show and

purposely picked this day.

I just might punch him tomorrow.

You'll post my bond right?

You know, I was actually
starting to enjoy it here.

I know it's stupid,
don't say it.

I wasn't.

I was actually going to say that
I am jealous you're there.

Really?

Yeah, are you kidding me?

Pipe, those photos alone make me
want to drop everything,

move to a small town and
write a country love song.

You know what? Skip
tomorrow. Stay there.

I'll go on your behalf.
She was my Grammy too.

No. I can't. He'll call me
a liar and thief all day.

He'll use me not being
there as admitting defeat.

I have to go
defend myself.

But, what if we...

I'll leave first
thing in the morning.

What are you going to tell them?

Nothing.

They don't need
me here anymore.

I don't want
to ruin their day.

Excited to take
your first flight?

I know pal. I don't
want to leave either.

Come on in.

What's all this?

Unfortunately something
come up with work,

back home. I have to
go take care of it.

Oh, I see.

Actually, Millie, um...

I was wondering
would you be able

to give this letter
to Tim for me?

Of course I will.

Thanks.

And I wanted to thank you
for all your hospitality,

and all the warmth
you've shown me.

Millie I really, I really
appreciate it.

We'll miss you a lot.

I'll miss you too.

That's my ride.

Thank you so much
again for everything.

We'll see you soon
love. I'm sure of it.

Where's Archie.

Oh!

Come on pal!

Come on Arch.

Terminal one please.

You mean the terminal?

Great, just when I thought this
day couldn't get any worse.

Relax, I come in peace.

Why do I find that
hard to believe.

It's a small town, Piper, and I
happen to love living here.

I can't be known
as "Mean" Santa forever.

Especially not
with my new job!

So you're driving
me to the airport?

Yup.

And this one's on me.

Let's leave a little
extra space in between.

I'm anticipating a
lot of full bellies.

Has anyone seen Piper yet?

No. Not yet.

Oh, morning Millie. Did
Piper come in with you?

She asked me to give you this.

I'm sorry love.

Piper had to go home.

They called her into a hearing.
She didn't have a choice.

What do we do now?

We carry on.

Piper put in
a lot of work

and I don't want that
to be for nothing.

So, let's keep getting ready.

It's going to be
a big day.

Luke. Do you think
you can take the kids

and pick up the cookies?
Piper had to go home.

Yeah. Sure thing. You alright?

Yeah. Of course.

Alright guys. Follow
me. Come! Come.

Yeah! Cookies!

You know, we don't get a lot of
people leaving town actually.

I left town once.
Big mistake.

I missed the place so
much, I was back in a week.

You know, our town was in the
records books once.

For the town that
nobody wanted to leave.

Really?

Yah. See. It seems like people
come here to visit

and end up staying.

Still in the
records book, though,

as the town with
the most one way tickets.

It's a silly thing to be
proud of I guess but,

you know, this
is home and it's special.

Hey, I'm just here to
pick up the cookies.

I brought the children,
so no cussing.

Pttt! Please, I'm a pro!

When have I ever cussed
in front of children?

Um, on my birthday.

Hmmm, ah... I am
sorry about that.

Yeah, we're cool dude.

Alright, here you go. I'll bring
the rest over in my truck.

Okay. We'll meet you there.

Cool. Hey, where's that woman?

I want to give her back her
recipe book.

Actually, she said
you can keep that.

Hmmm. No thanks.
These are all old.

Wait. What do you mean?

Bro, they're from those
old red cookbooks

that everybody's mom
had in their house.

Look around you.

This. It's from that cookbook.

Kids, hurry into the car.
I have to call your dad.

-Thanks Kenny!
-Alright.

Tim! You're not going
to believe this!

That is incredible!

Okay, yeah,
yeah. I'll check that online.

And hurry back. I'm going
to give her a call

and tell her to come back.

What are you going to do, son?

I don't know! I, it's still
kind of messed up, but...

I have to
get to the airport.

What about the breakfast?

That's why I have to go.
She has to be here!

Who has to be here?

Piper. Piper!

Dad! Dad!

Hey guys,

I need you to stay with
uncle Luke for a bit okay?

And I need you to look up
Piper's office in New York.

Let them know what
you found out.

Yeah, alright. I can do that.
Where're you going?

I need to find Piper before
she gets to the airport.

You'll never catch up.

Of course I will!
It's Christmas!

Go Dad!

Race you to the bridge.

Hey guys. Wait up.

Are we close yet?

Yup. You're going to
be right on time.

Piper's Top Picks,
Andi speaking.

Hello Andi, this is Luke.

I'm working with Piper
who's helping Tim

with his failing North Pole
Christmas Village theme park.

Ah, yes. The photographer.

What can I do for you?

Actually. I believe
I'm the one who can help.

Hello. Airport
information. This is Tammy.

Hi! Has the flight to New York
City left yet?

Give me one second.
Let me have a look.

Not quite yet.

Looks like there has been a
slight delay.

There is still a chance.

No worries, ma'am. You'll have
a two hour layover in Boston.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

I'm sorry sir.
I'm with a customer.

I just need...

You'll have to go to
the back of the line.

I just need to know.

Has the flight to
New York City left yet?

The morning flight to New York
has already departed.

Now please, sir,
end of the line.

Hey Archie.

Archie?

Piper?

What are you doing here?

I came to stop you from leaving.

Really?

Really. I want you in my life.

Look, I know this isn't
what you're used to.

I can't exactly give
you the big city life.

Or promise you things like
theatre and fine dining.

But if you stay, I promise you
that I'm going to

make it my goal,
every single day,

to put a smile on your face.

I love you, Piper.

And I don't think I
said it before but...

I chose you.

What?

I was waiting at the gate and I
just couldn't get on that plane.

Because all I could think about
was how I'd rather be with you,

and Paige and Declan.

Tim, I don't care about
what happens at home.

All I want for Christmas
is to have breakfast...

With you.

So...

what are we
waiting for then?

I'm waiting for you
to kiss me, mister.

Soooooo.....

You've got yourself a ride then?

Yeah, Grant. I'll make
sure she gets home safe.

Excellent. Oh, by the way.

Did I hear someone
mention something

about having breakfast?

There's going to be
real maple syrup.

Sweet! It's my favourite.

I'll see you there.

So do you want to hear the good
news or the bad news first?

The good news.

Remember crazy Kenny
from the bakery?

He says that all of your
Grandma Rose's recipes

are available for free online.
I did some research and they're

originally from the Old County
Flour Company cookbook

from the late 1800's.

So they fell into the
public domain years ago!

They don't belong to
Cubbie's or Grammy.

I guess they don't
belong to anybody.

Grammy must've known that book
and written out the recipes.

Exactly. Maybe she had a copy
and it was getting old.

Or maybe she just borrowed
it from a friend.

So there is no basis
for the law suit.

And there's nothing to
embarrass you or the Village.

So what's the bad news?

Breakfast is getting cold.

There's our Piper!

Merry Christmas, love.

How's the breakfast
going so far?

Great! Everybody's having a
wonderful time.

Jack is doing an
amazing job.

Don't worry Santa. Your
secret's safe with me.

Okay, everyone.
Let's eat. Let's go.

No. You say your favorite
movie, okay. On three.

One, two, three! Alien Invasion!

Ah, same again!

Wow. Just like I remembered
them. Absolutely perfect.

These must be the best
cookies I have ever had.

Right.

Hey Kenny. These are fantastic.

My pleasure.

So how did you find out that
these were in the public domain?

Oh. Well. After you dropped off
your book, I was,

you know, thumbing through,
see what else I could steal.

And that's when I
realized, I already did.

I was just going to say that!

One sec!

Hello?

He folded!

Andi?

Yeah, Luke called about
the public domain thing,

so I went to the hearing,
showed them the evidence,

and, you're off the hook.

I can't believe this!

Oh, and it gets way better.

How?

Well. Believe it or not,

he'd like to wish you a very
Merry Christmas.

No way!

Yeah. Oh, and after seeing

everything that you've
done at the North Pole,

you are getting tons of offers.
Do you want me

to put them on your
desk for when you back?

Actually. I think I'm going to
take a little break for awhile.

It's Christmas time.
I'm good here.

Perfect! I'll see you
in a couple hours!

A couple hours? No I'm...

We've been talking for hours.
Your sister is incredible.

I now understand
every love song ever written.

Thunderstorms, love them
or hate them? On three!

One, two, three!

Merry Christmas Piper.

Oh, Merry Christmas, Declan.

Merry Christmas, Paige.

Merry Christmas
Piper Marshmallows.

Come here.

Okay, I want in!

Oh do you?

Anyone else want in?

Everyone!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Alright guys. Everyone smile!

Hey look! There it is.

Hey look! There's me!

Piper look! It's us!

You know what? This might
be my favorite pick ever.

Ah, it's not my best.

I was once on a scene where a
man under a tree had strange...

Uh huh.

You know, I still think
it should have called

Piper finally
believes in miracles.

Ah! Not again.

Fine, not a miracle.
What about magic?

No.

Destiny?

No, not that either.

Fate.

Fine. I'll give you fate.

Aww!

Ewww!

The miracle of fate.

- Ahhh!
- Come on, Arch.

Dad. Just let it go, okay?

Come on guys.
