Welcome back to
"Today with Bright And Merry."

Remember, everyone,

tonight is the deadline
to nominate your city

for our "Deck Your Town
with Bright And Merry Contest,"

where we will come to your town

and produce the show.

Don't forget
to tune in next week

to find out how the winning town
celebrates Christmas.

All right,

today we have been talking
about Christmas wishes

and traditions.

You know, when I was
a little girl...

When you were a little girl,
wait, wait...

I bet you wished for...

lots of snow, lots of presents.

You would be right.

-Of course.
-Yeah.

But now that I am all grown-up,

I'd still wish for
the perfect Christmas date,

with a horse-drawn carriage,

and the snow lightly falling.

What about you, Brian,
what are your Christmas wishes

and traditions?

Well, when I was a kid,
I only had one wish,

and that was to play in the NFL.

Well, that worked out.

That worked out.

Thankfully.

Um, but grown-up me

just wants the perfect beach

with an 80-degree sun
shining down.

Well, that is not
very Christmassy, is it?

Yeah, to be honest,

I'm not really

a Christmassy guy.

Really?

Yeah.

-I didn't know that.
-No.

You didn't grow up
with Christmas traditions?

Not a one.

Okay...

Well, listen, everyone,
I need your help.

It sounds like you all
have to go to our website,

and share with us
your favorite Christmas wishes,

Christmas traditions,

because we all
need to work together

to get this guy
in the Christmas spirit!

And don't forget
to nominate your favorite town.

Thank you for joining us today...

...on "Bright And Merry."

And we're out!

Could you please
stick to the teleprompter?

You're better without it.

Brian? Mel?

My office now, please?

I have asked you for a year
to rehearse with me.

We don't need to.

The show was great today.

Which part?

The part where
you're stealing my lines,

or stepping on them?

Hang on, hang on,
look at this sign.

See what that says?

"Number one show in America."

We're number one because
the show is conversational.

-No...
-Yes!

We are number one
because I spend every night

prepping for the next episode,

while you're out on red carpets

or going to parties
with your girlfriend.

Yeah...

-So, what...
-Great show, huh?

Shut the door.

So...

the network...

Is letting me
out of my contract?

What are you talking about?

What is he talking about?

Brian has been asking

to be released
from his contract.

Given your repeated complaints
about one another,

the network has decided

to grant Brian his request.

I wanted you both to hear
the news at the same time.

I don't understand
what you're talking about.

We are the number one
morning show in the country.

Yes, and you will stay
number one.

This is just
a pre-emptive move

as we transition
to a new co-host.

Why didn't you tell me?

I'm telling you now.

No. No, no,
I'm finding out now.

That's an entirely
different thing.

Do you have a co-host in mind?

Not yet,

but you and I
will find someone

of equal stature to Brian.

In the meantime,

nothing is gonna happen
until after Christmas,

so... find your Holly
and find your Jolly,

and make spirits bright
tomorrow, hmm?

Sounds good.

I'm sorry, I'm going to be
a little late.

You are not going to believe
what he has done this time.

Assuming you mean Brian,

and also, I can't promise
I'll wait to start the movie,

or that there will be
any pizza left.

Hurrying home
for pizza and a movie?

I do have a life, you know.

That is absolutely not true.

It's not on the teleprompter,

but can I hit the button?

Ha, imagine that.

Hey, hey.

Sorry I'm late.

No problem.

Merry Christmas, Christy.

I'm not a big fan
of the holidays.

Tonight is
our last Christmas party,

then we count down the days
until we leave for Cancun.

Well, aren't you two

just two partridges
in a pear tree.

Have a good night.

How was your day?

Long.

I know, they all are.

You do know

it's only one partridge
in that pear tree, right?

Of course, I know it,

but two turtle doves

doesn't have
quite the same jingle to it.

It just makes me so mad.

The turtle doves?

No.

Brian.

Brian makes me mad.

First of all, they couldn't go
with a qualified co-host,

No, they had to pick
an ex-football star

who only became
insta-famous overnight

because of his appearance
on a reality-dating show,

and then he's the one

who asked
to get out of the show,

and he doesn't even
tell me about it?

You know what, it just proves
I was right about him.

I can't trust him.

You know what, him leaving,

is the best thing that ever
happened to "Bright And Merry,"

and it's
the best Christmas present

I could have asked for.

So the town of Mistletoe
in Maine

has won "Deck Your Town
with Bright And Merry,"

but this year,
we're not filming for a day.

We're filming for a week!

Oh, I can't do that...

There's no way
I can do that, no...

There is and you can,

because on the 7th day
in Mistletoe,

falling on Christmas Eve,

"Bright And Merry" will air
for the very last time

with both of you hosting.

Now, to ensure
the best ratings ever,

we are gonna give our viewers

the day they love the most
for an entire week,

and on your last night,

we have scheduled

a very special
live primetime show, where...

-Primetime?
-Primetime?

...where you'll announce
that "Bright And Merry" is over.

Now, Mel, since I am sure

you want to keep
your number-one rating,

and Brian, since I'm sure

you don't want any
bad publicity to follow you,

I trust I can count on you both

to "eggnog up"
for appearances' sake.

Yup.

Good.

I'll meet you both
in Mistletoe.

Hey, guys...

Hey, guys.

Hello!

Stan Roman,
Mayor of Mistletoe.

We here in Mistletoe
are so excited

to win "Deck Your Town
with Bright And Merry!"

Thank you.

Oh...

Oh, there's our Inn,
right over there.

Let's get you two inside.

Okay. We need to get our...

I'll get the bags.

Oh, thank you.

-This way.
-Thank you.

Give them some room,
just, yeah, yeah.

And this here
is my queen, Ginny.

Hello.

You're adorable,

and you're even cuter
than you are on television!

Aw, thank you.

That's sweet of you to say.

She means both of us.

This is James, deputy mayor.

Oh, hi!

-Hi.
-Part-time bellhop.

It is so great to meet you.

Aw, it's nice to meet you, too.

-Can I take my...
-No, no, no, my pleasure.

Your rooms are all ready,

and they're
right next to each other,

so you can stay
in constant communication.

Oh, that is so convenient.

Well, follow me.

I can't wait
to show you the barn,

or should I say,
your new set.

Your producer lady said
it was perfect.

Stan has been working
on this old barn for years,

and now at least

he can put some of it
to good use.

Hey, wait a second,

the, um, the set's gonna be
in a barn?

Yeah.

And that was all
in the production notes

that you apparently...

haven't had a chance
to review yet,

but I'll fill you in,
don't worry.

Thanks.

Sounds wonderful.

We'll let you both
get settled now.

Thank you both so much.

Thank you so much, James,

and thank you all
for the warm welcome.

My pleasure.

Nice meeting you.

See you soon.

Oh, wow.

Whoa...

Wow.

I'm not in there.

Hasn't anyone ever told you

it's not nice
to sneak up on people?

Anyone ever told you

it's not nice
to eavesdrop on people?

Well...

You've got
dinner reservations for two

at Mistletoe on Main!

Ah, thank you, Ginny.

Hmm, look who's been busy.

You already have
a date for tonight?

I simply asked Ginny
where I should have dinner.

She obviously thought
you would be joining me.

Oh.

Obviously means
I have to go with you now.

No, you don't.

Jennifer said
we have to keep up appearances.

No, we don't.

Well...

Meet me in the lobby.

Ten minutes.

Here, I'll get in the back.

Yeah, sure, come here.

Oh, the light's better here.

Okay, great.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Okay, uh,
showtime's over, folks.

-Okay, thanks.
-Here, come on.

I'm Lexie.

Nice to meet you.

Sorry about that.

No problem.

If we didn't have fans,

then the show
would already be over.

Not that it's over.
It's not.

No, not at all.
Very Bright, very Merry.

Here you are.

Thank you.

-For you.
-Thank you.

No problem.

You cannot tell people
you are leaving the show

until Christmas Eve.

I know, I forgot.

Okay.

So, I've been thinking.

Here we are, in this town,

all week...

nothing else to do.

We both want this week
to be successful,

and you want to go out on top...

What do you say we just...

rehearse?

No.

Melissa, we have
different opinions

as to why the show
is number one, right?

You think it's because
you work really hard,

and you control
every single moment,

and I think it's because

that we're spontaneous
sometimes,

and let those moments
just come to us.

This is for you guys.

Aw, thanks.

It's on the house.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Of course.

It is not about
controlling every moment, okay?

It is about...

setting yourself up
for success.

You control what you can

so you can deal with
what you can't.

Can we just agree
to disagree?

Okay.

'Kay.

Okay.

Mm...

Mm!

What are you doing?

Mel, what are you doing?

We're supposed to be
keeping up appearances,

and you're working.

Yeah.

Yeah, I have to watch
these co-host tapes.

Hey, Brian,
welcome to Mistletoe!

Oh, what, now
you're going to pretend

that you've already found
the perfect co-host?

Come on.

My sister sent me
something funny.

It's about Christmas.

You wouldn't understand.

Well, try me.

I like funny.

Every Christmas Eve Eve...

"Christmas Eve Eve"?

It's the night before
Christmas Eve,

It's Christmas Eve Eve.

Yeah, no, no,
I know what it is.

It's just a funny expression.

Okay, well,
every Christmas Eve Eve,

my sister and I bake cookies,
and she...

Wait, stop.
Stop.

Seriously?

You... bake?

Yeah.

Wow.

I... I thought all you did
was work,

or, like, think about work,

or just work on... work.

I like to plan.

I like to be prepared,

and I like to have fun.

It's just more fun
when it's planned

and prepared.

Five minutes, people!

Five!

And can someone please
get me a coffee?

Sit down right over there.

Come on...

Yeah.

Jennifer...
Jennifer, seriously?

I mean,
this is the ugliest thing

I've ever seen in my life.

That's literally
the whole point.

Thanks, I'm just talking
to my producer.

Well, Mel is right.

Welcome to your wardrobe
for the day.

Well, it's just
for the segment, though, right?

Did you not hear her?

She just said, "For the day."

And now Brian's right.

Oh, just go
and spread joy to the world.

You're late!

I am?

Oh, aren't you
the craft service guy?

Oh, no, ma'am, I'm not.

My name is Tyler Kirven,
and I'm a huge fan.

Oh, um...

Two minutes, people!

Look, why don't you
come see me later this week,

and I'll introduce you
to the hosts.

Actually, I want to produce,
like yourself.

I heard you asked for a coffee.

Huh.

Stay close and don't talk.

Yes!

All right, everybody,
here we go.

In five, four, three...

Good morning

and welcome to "Today
With Bright And Merry."

Congratulations
to the town to Mistletoe,

We are so excited
to spend the week

in this magical place

that won our annual

"Deck Your Town
with Bright And Merry."

We will be showing you
Christmas traditions

that these folks do here,

but before we do that...

the other day,

my esteemed colleague, Melissa,

asked you all to write in,

and give some ideas

to help get me
in the Christmas spirit.

Well, he needed it,
didn't he, folks?

Okay, hang on,
my least favorite suggestion

-is this thing!
-Aw...

Sarah R. from Pennsylvania,
what are you doing to me?

Come on, Brian,
she picked out a lovely sweater

that brings out
your eyes, Brian.

It's adorable.

Oh, well, that was very kind.

I'm just kidding.
Sarah, thank you so much...

We love them.
Thank you, Sarah.

But don't you think
we should talk

about all the great traditions

happening here in Mistletoe?

Yes, there is a huge list,

and you're going to see
all of them

as we film
throughout the week.

I think my favorite
on the list

has to be
the three-legged wreath race.

I have no idea what that is.

But you could imagine

that you like it
because there's a finish line,

probably a referee
doing the signs...

She knows me
better than anyone.

Mistletoe also has
St. Nick's skate,

the Festival of Lights,

and then,

the very last
"Today With Bright And Merry"

on Christmas Eve.

Yes, uh, tune in

for a very special night with us

as we come to you
for the last time from Mistletoe

on Christmas Eve.

And we're out!

You didn't
have to cover for me.

Hey, you've done it for me.

A lot.

Just saying
"the very last show,"

it threw me.

Mel? Brian?

We are changing it up.

We're gonna have you
both participate.

Well, we can't.
We're the judges.

Well, now you're building
a gingerbread house.

No, no, I went over
the itinerary last night.

It's not in any of the notes.

Doesn't pay to do homework.

See?

It's a little
Christmas surprise.

But I don't like surprises,

and he doesn't even
like Christmas.

True.

Well then, it's a good thing
you're on a team together, hmm?

So go!

Build!

Be my little elves.

Still lovin' this.

What are you doing?

I'm following your lead.
You said get the candy.

Oh, here.

Yeah.

Yeah...

Oh, nice.

-Just hold it still.
-I got it.

-Okay? Yeah?
-Got it.

Oh, I'm gonna huff and puff
and blow this silly house down.

Hey...

Okay.

Oh!

Stanley Roman,

stop your spying
and snickering.

Brian!

I'm sorry.

-I was waiting so long...
-Stop it!

It's just a silly house.

It's a silly house.

Stop it!

Look, I think
that we should talk about...

We should talk about...

Go ahead.

I think that we need
a good-tidings truce...

Completely agree.

It's Christmas,
and if you could just...

You do?

Yeah.

It's the fourth quarter.

We just need to finish strong.

Right, yeah.

Wait... why?

Do you have another show
lined up after this?

No.

It's not like I could just
pick up the phone

and get on another show.

With how easy your life is,
you probably could.

Excuse me?

Is that...
is that what you think?

Well...

Hi.

We do know that you were
all-state quarterback

in high school,

you got a free ride at college,

you had 12 successful seasons
with the NFL,

and then you decided
to find love

on this hugely-popular
reality-dating show

that gives you
a million followers overnight...

...and then
one morning a year ago,

you woke up and decided

you wanted to be
a morning-talk-show host?

Without any training,
any experience whatsoever.

You're forgetting

that when I was "finding love"
on that reality show,

I got rejected
on national television,

for the whole world to see.

I didn't see it.

Oh, come on, okay?

Everyone watches "Ever Yours."
It's okay.

Not me.

I think it's nice

that you were
looking for love, though.

I mean, I wouldn't do it
on a reality-dating show,

but that is how you ended up
meeting Christy, right?

True, true.

The show sent me
to one of her premieres,

we hit it off.

What about you, huh?

Why no one special in your life?

Well, I've just been
focused on my career.

It'll happen
when the time is right.

So, do we have a t truce, or wh?

We do.

Great.

It was just weird.

We talked without being...

snippy, sarcastic, or rude.

If he had been like this
for the last year,

we would've gotten along
way better.

Crazy idea here,

but you could ask him
to stay on the show.

I am not begging him to stay
when he clearly wants to go,

and besides,

he would know
that I'm just asking

because I'm afraid
of losing our ratings

after he leaves.

Are you?

Okay, fine!

But I am concerned

I'll lose the ratings
when he leaves.

But you are an amazing host.

Whoever is your co-host,
it'll be great.

It will be in a week
when Brian leaves,

and he's off the show,

and I never
have to see him again.

Call you tomorrow.
Love you.

Love you back, sis!

Lexie, hi!

Hi!

I thought you might want
some dinner.

Can I come in?

Oh, yeah, of course.
Come in.

Thanks.

Brian stopped by
at the restaurant earlier,

so I figured you'd probably
be hungry, too.

Yeah, if it wasn't for
that candy cane and the cookie.

You are right.

Ah...

Thank you so much
for doing this.

-Of course.
-That's so sweet of you.

Mm, smells good!

This is amazing!

Thank you.

It's a chestnut Risotto
with thyme

and Parmesan cream sauce.

I saw you had tasted one
on one of your shows once,

and you said that chestnuts
are usually overlooked,

so I thought
I would just try and...

Wait, you made this?

Mm-hmm.
It's one of my recipes.

You should stop waitressing
and start cooking.

Do the owners know
you can cook like this?

No.

That would mean I would
have to work up the courage

to actually cook for them.

You're the first
to try this one.

Is it as good as the one
on your show?

No.

It's better.

Way better!

I'm serious,

you should tell them
that you can cook.

You're that good.

You're really good.

I wouldn't even know
where to start.

Well, I have an idea.

While I'm in town,

why don't you bring me
any dish you want,

and I will give you
my honest opinion.

I promise,

and if you want to practise
pitching your ideas to me,

I'll be happy to give you
some pointers

on how to present them.

Seriously?

I mean, are you sure?
Do you have time?

I know you're, like,
really crazy busy.

Oh, I will make the time
for risotto this good.

I just have one deal
to make with you.

If this is
what you really want,

you have to be prepared
to work hard to get it.

Yes.

Let's do it.

Okay, great.

Okay, you have a good night.

Yeah, you too.

I will now.
Thank you.

Good morning.

-Good morning. Hey.
-Hi, James.

-Hi.
-Oh, uh, hey,

I know you'll be filming
the Christmas Fair,

but, uh, if you'd like
to go look around,

I'd be happy to take you.

You can get Christmas gifts,

and, uh, well,
there just might be

the best hot chocolate
you've ever had.

I would love to.

You know, this is
my favorite time of year,

and I want
to experience Mistletoe

while I'm here.

Well, perfect.

I'll catch up with you later.

Sounds great.

Thank you.

-Yeah, of course.
-Come on, come in.

In here.

-Ah, good one.
-Good one. Thank you.

You know, you could have
just told me

that you didn't want
to have dinner with me.

Yeah, I ended up going out.

I just wanted
to check out and eat,

not sit and watch you work.

I get it.

All right, everyone,

let's lock it up, please!

Places, people!

Stan, um...

I need you

to add these two names

to the race-team list.

Thank you.

Tom!

I need you
to quickly change the copy

on the teleprompter.

Change Brian's line to read

they're both excited
to be participating.

All right, everyone!

We're live.

Five, four, three...

Welcome back to Mistletoe!

What a crowd!

I love this town.

Coming up,

we've got tips
on gift wrapping,

which I desperately need
before the Mistletoe Wrap

later this week.

But today we are headed
to Evergreen Park

for Mistletoe's annual

three-legged wreath race.

The teams have been practicing
for months, Brian.

And it is a two-mile race

through the snow
at Evergreen Park,

all while...

...having your leg
tied to a teammate.

Hmm.

I used to be a football player,

and I'm not sure
I could do this one.

And the race is gonna be
extra exciting this year,

because...

Melissa and I
will be participating in it.

So come down and cheer us on,

Team Bright and Merry!

We'll be right back.

And we're out!

Welcome to Mistletoe's
three-legged Wreath Race!

It's a great course
this year,

but those roads
are tricky in the snow,

so be careful out there.

Are we going for it?

Always try to win.

Completely agree.

I think it's all about
the outside leg.

Yeah, for sure.

You have to either...
you have to stride big,

or I have to stride small.

You decide.

-I'll go big.
-Okay.

And now...
let the race begin!

Outside first!
Outside, outside, outside!

Yeah!

Yeah, come on.

Can you go a little faster?

Faster, come on...

No, no, no...

Everybody, keep going.

Keep racing.
It's okay.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?

Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay.

Are you sure?

Well, I landed on you.
Are you okay?

Yeah, no, no, I'm good.

I landed on
this super-soft snowbank.

Of course, you did.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, that's pretty much
your whole life, right?

Soft landings?

You know, you keep
making comments like this,

like my life has been so easy.

Well, I mean,

that's pretty much how it seems.

You have no idea
how hard it is

to make it as
a professional athlete, do you?

I mean,
the sheer number of hours

that I spent working,

trying to get
the little natural talent I had

and turn it into
a bankable skill?

Every workout was charted,

every calorie was counted.

These cupcakes
are amazing, Lexie.

You have a gift.

I'm so happy
you like them!

Thank you.

Oh, and I very much
look forward to your thoughts.

Perfect.

Professional, yet positive.

I'm so excited.

You're doing great.

Hey.

What's that about?

Oh, I'm, uh,

working with her on a project.

Hmm.

Hey, listen,

we've got a little time
before the tree-lighting,

so I was wondering,

do you want to, um...

rehearse tomorrow's show?

Do a little prep work?

Hey, guys!

Oh, hey, James.

-Hey.
-Hi!

Ready to go?

Where you headed?

I'm, uh, showing Melissa
the Christmas Fair

before you two film
the tree-lighting.

Oh, okay.

Um, rehearse?
No rehearse?

I already did,

so I'm just gonna
see you there, okay?

Okay. Have fun.

Thanks.

Okay, just to clarify,

you know I'm not actually
the bellhop, right?

Oh, come on.

Nothing against bellhops,

I just, I've been working hard

at this whole
Deputy Mayor thing, and, uh...

Mm-hmm, well,
it's working out for you.

I understand.

Hey, have you heard about
Mistletoe's Christmas-Tree lore?

Tell me.

Well, it's believed

that if you want
a wish to come true,

you write out that wish,

you attach it
to a piece of mistletoe,

and then hang it on the tree.

Aw...

Does it work?

Well, since I got to show
the Melissa Merry

the town Christmas Fair...

Thank you.

You were an excellent
tour guide,

probably a pretty good
Deputy Mayor,

but the bellhop thing...

Ah, you said it.

Um... I have to go.

I'm so sorry.

This has been amazing,
thank you,

and I'll see you
at the St. Nick skate?

Yeah, I wouldn't miss it.

Okay.

I don't know.

"She's looking for you,"
exclamation point?

"She's mad you're not here,"

two exclamation points?

Got you!

Oh, I can't believe you...

Were you just watching me?

Huh?

Welcome to Mistletoe's
Christmas-Tree Lighting!

So... congratulations.

The ratings
are higher than ever.

Thank you,

but keep it up.

Okay, so we'll film
the tree lighting,

and then you're done
for the night.

Great.

Um, I also have a draft

of the announcement
about Brian leaving the show.

I'll send it to you both
for approval,

and Mel, the network
is breathing down my neck

about a co-host.

I've sent you another ten
to look at.

Okay, thanks.

Okay.

I hope you both know
what you're doing.

Let's give a big thanks

to the folks at
"Today with Bright And Merry"

for spending the week
here in Mistletoe!

So when we're done here,

if you want to go over
tomorrow's schedule...

You mean rehearse?

Well, we don't have to.

No, I want to, yes.

Please.

Great.

Our favorite
morning-show couple,

Melissa and Brian!

Thank you, thank you!

Is everybody having
a good time?

I want to thank all of you.

We have received
such a warm welcome

from the people of Mistletoe.

Thank you.

That's right,
and it is so obvious

why you guys won

the "Deck Your Town
With Bright and Merry" contest.

-Whoo!
-I mean, come on!

That's right.

But you know what
I'm really looking forward to

is Brian wearing
a homemade hat tomorrow

at the St. Nick skate!

Am I right, ladies?

Whoo-hoo!

Okay, Brian, you want
to help me with this?

Well, let's...
let's count it down, huh?

Five, four, three,

two, one!

Oh, it's so beautiful.

Yeah.

So, tune in tomorrow

for more "Bright And Merry."

That was great.

We should have shot it.

No, it was great

because we've been
rehearsing it.

Okay, it wasn't so bad.

Great.

You know, this is...

this is actually kind of nice,

just hanging out together

instead of having
the whole crew and cameras

filming our every move.

Didn't you say
something just like that

on a very dramatic episode

of your reality-dating show?

Actually, I think
I did say that on "Ever Yours."

I knew it.

Wait...

Wait, you said
you didn't watch my season.

Oh... busted!

Okay, okay, fine.

Like most women in America,

Kate and I watched
every episode.

Mm-hmm.

I just didn't think
your ego could handle it

if I told you that
when we first met.

You're probably right.

You know, I could've
probably been, um...

a little more of a team player
back then.

I could've been less bossy.

You know, I was terrified
to come on your show?

No, seriously.

It would be on in the gym
where I was working out.

I would watch it every day.

I mean, I didn't like
your co-host, but...

Of course, you didn't.

Well, what do you say?

This tree isn't gonna
decorate itself.

Huh?

Oh, no, no.
No, no.

Now, see, that's not
on the schedule.

-We haven't rehearsed that...
-Oh, stop it, okay?

I am working on my spontaneity,

and you need to work
on your Christmas.

So, come on, get up.

I thought you were
stopping the bossy.

Hold this.

Ginny overheard me
telling my sister

how disappointed I was

that I wasn't gonna be able
to decorate a tree this year,

and so she brought this out

for us.

For us?

Yeah.

You really love all this,
don't you?

I really do.

Christmas is a magical time

when anything can happen.

Here, you hang one.

No, no, I'll just put it
in the wrong spot.

Go ahead.

There's no such thing.

Go ahead.

Oh, I wouldn't put it
there, though.

See? See!

Gotcha, gotcha.

Okay...

Gotcha!

I'm just kidding.

You are the worst elf ever.

♪ Have yourself ♪

♪ A merry little Christmas ♪

♪ Let your heart be light ♪

♪ From now on ♪

♪ Our troubles will be
out of sight... ♪

♪ Have yourself
a merry little Christmas... ♪

-You good?
-Yeah.

-All right.
-You ready?

Yeah.

This is it.

I'd like you to do the honors.

Oh, no, no.
No way.

This is your thing.
You... you go.

-Please.
-No.

I want you to.

Just... that one.

Oh, that's incredible.

Thanks for that.

I didn't do anything.

We did it together.

Well, we are number one
for a reason.

Surprise!

Whoa, hey!

Christy.

So this is
where you've been hiding.

They really
like Christmas here,

don't they?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I came to visit my boyfriend.

Um, hi, Christy.

I'm so sorry,

I have so much work
left to do.

I'm gonna say goodnight.

Goodnight...

Goodnight.

There you are!

I knew you were working late,

so I thought a cup of coffee
might help.

Oh, thank you.

You are so sweet.

Did you hear

Brian's girlfriend
surprised him?

Yes, actually,

he and I had just
finished decorating

that fabulous tree

when she showed up.

Is she staying here?

No.

"Too much Christmas," she said.

Well, thank you again
for that tree,

and everything.

How'd you pull it all together
so quickly?

You have no idea

how much Christmas stuff
we have in storage.

Oh, yeah?
That's crazy.

Stan and I love
collecting ornaments.

Me too.

Do you want to come
have a peek?

And no one's seen
this old thing in years.

Oh, wow...

Wow, does it work?

Oh, goodness,
I can't imagine so.

It barely worked
50 years ago!

I had such a crush on Stan
when I was young.

I wrote a wish for him
to ask me on a date,

attached mistletoe to it,

hung it on the tree.

Our first date
was in this carriage.

So that Christmas
mistletoe-wish thing

really works, huh?

I'll let you decide,

but I did wish
for Stan to marry me.

Here we are
almost 50 years later.

Well, I am pretty jealous,

because I have always dreamed
of the perfect Christmas date,

riding in something like this.

You should make
a mistletoe wish.

Oh, yeah, I think we are
doing that for the show.

I wasn't talking about
for the cameras.

Stan, how are you doing?

Mm!

Hey, you, uh...

you guys haven't by chance
seen Melissa, have you?

She was in the barn earlier.

Right, Ginny?

She was,
but she's gone to bed.

Oh.

Me too.

Goodnight.

Melissa found
your old carriage.

Huh, I took some nice girl
on a first date in it.

Can't recall her name
at the moment.

Stanley Roman,

you're gonna find some coal
in that stocking of yours.

Hey, did you say
you guys had a carriage?

Like a horse-and-carriage
carriage?

If mine were able
to move, yeah.

Hey, Stan, if I help you
get that moving,

could I borrow it?

Son, I'm not sure
if that's possible.

We can sure try.

Great.

And let's just keep this between
the three of us for now.

Goodnight.

Hey, hey, did I get
our call-time wrong?

No, no, she, uh,
she just got here early.

-Hi!
-Hey.

Trying to get a leg up
on your competition out there?

No,
I just thought I'd have

a not-so-serious moment
before work.

Well, it looks good on you.

Well, since you're both
so festive and frosty,

this should be fun and painless,

unless you fall,
so don't fall.

Jennifer, I have never skated
in my life.

-What?
-What?

Yeah, no.

Good to know.

Well, he's
a professional athlete.

I mean, I'm sure
he'll figure it...

Guys, I'm going down.

It's gonna happen.

-Um...
-Well, then,

we'll just, uh, shoot
a short piece of you skating,

and then one about
the Festival of Lights.

That sounds smart.
-Okay?

Oh, these are for you.

Mm-hmm, thank you very much.

I know what this is!

Uh-huh.

You have got to be kidding.

These are awesome!

Ooh, good one.

-Seriously?
-It's perfect.

Oh, yeah, not helping at all.

Come on, it's fantastic.

-Let's go.
-Get out there.

Okay, okay.
Just be careful.

Oh, right.

You got this.

Okay, so this first step...

Is a doozy?

...is a doozy.
There you go!

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
No, no, let me put these on.

Okay.

Must have been nice
to see Christy...

-Yeah.
-...last night.

Yeah, that was
a total surprise.

I didn't know she was coming.

I'm sorry that it, uh,
interrupted our decorating.

Oh, somehow, I don't think

you're actually sorry
about that,

but don't worry,
we were done anyway.

I know that I can sometimes
come across as Grinchy.

Or Grinch-like, whatever.

I am laughing at your use
of the word "sometimes,"

not "Grinchy."

Oh, ha, ha, ha.

I just never met someone

who's so against Christmas,
you know?

I am not against Christmas.

Okay...

look, when I was a kid,
my dad lost his job, all right,

and we had
some tough years financially.

You know, and the church
would come by

and donate some gifts.

Well, one gift,

and that's nice,

but you're a kid,

you just want
a bunch of presents, you know?

I'd go to school
and see my friends,

and they had
all their new stuff, and...

I don't know, just...

like, we didn't have the money
to go out and buy a tree,

and go shopping,

and make cookies and stuff.

We just didn't do that.

So Christmas is...

I don't know, it just
brings back all of that,

you know?

I can't imagine.

I'm so sorry.

No, don't be.

It's all I knew.

Look, on the plus side,
I never had to eat fruitcake.

Never had to shop for
the perfect gift for somebody.

I just pick up some gift cards.

-What?
-Yeah.

-Gift cards?
-Yeah!

What about for your family,
your close friends?

Big gift cards.

Oh, come on.

Brian, the key
to a perfect gift

is that it's something
sentimental.

It doesn't have to cost anything
if comes from your heart.

Good to know...

and the fruitcake?

Oh, that's awful.

Yeah, It's gotta be.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

No, no...

Oh, no, I got this.

I can't believe
this is your first time on ice.

Hey, Lexie!

Melissa, hey!

Don't distract me,
this is hard work.

Are we still on for later?

Absolutely.
I can't wait.

Are you good?

Oh, yeah, hey,
nothing to see here!

Just move along.

Good luck.

All right,
what's going on there?

-What?
-Like, no,

I just keep seeing you guys

have all these secret meetings
and stuff.

Lexie is an unbelievable cook,

and she has these great recipes,

and she asked me to help her,

because she wants
to tell the owners

of Mistletoe on Main

to maybe put some of the recipes
on the menu...

but she's a little nervous,

so I'm helping her with
the presentation, that's all.

That's nice of you,
knowing how busy you are.

It's no big deal.

Okay, yeah,
I'll be right there.

Okay, thanks.

Right, you need to rest
for a second.

-James!
-Hey, James.

Okay. Okay, bye.

Yeah, I've been dealing
with an emergency,

so, unfortunately, I can't stay.

Oh, no.
What happened?

The pipes burst
in the Town Center.

You mean where we're wrapping
presents for the kids?

Yeah.

Is everything okay?

From what I've been told, no.

I'm on my way there right now.

All right, well,

let me know of there's
anything I can do.

Yeah, let us know.

Okay, thanks.
Have fun.

Yeah. I'll see you later.

Hey, hey!

Hey...

Christy, hi!

-Uh, I'm gonna skate.
-Sure.

Okay.

-Hey.
-Here.

Thank you very much.

Well, don't thank me yet.

It might be frozen.

Hey, listen, I, um...

We only have
a couple more segments to shoot.

Do you want to get some skates
and maybe come and try?

It's kinda fun.

Oh...

It's not my kind of fun.

Okay.

I'm headed back to the hotel
and get warm.

Text me when you're done.

I've got something important
to talk to you about.

Okay. I will.

See ya.

You know what,
you'd better just take this.

-That's...
-Okay.

It's not gonna help
my situation here.

Are you okay?

Yeah, yeah.
I'll text you later.

-Brian?
-Yeah?

-You got it?
-Yeah, oh, yeah.

Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, ho, yeah!

Look, Ma, no hands!

-You got this.
-Yeah...

Brian? Mel?

Yes?

You are wrapped for the day.

Oh, it's a Christmas miracle.

Uh, Mel?

I'm gonna need
your top three choices

for the new co-host.

The network is getting anxious.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm, uh, working on it.

See you tomorrow.

See ya.

Finding anyone good?

Yeah, you know,
A lot of good options.

Good.

-Oh, hey.
-Hey!

-Are you guys are done?
-Yes.

You guys should definitely
come to Mistletoe on Main

tonight.

We're gonna have food and music,

and decorate some stockings
for the toy drive.

Wait, you decorate
the stocking?

Yeah.

The restaurant started it.

We decorate the stockings,

and then we hand them out
with all of the gifts.

That sounds awesome.

Um, I'm not sure
if Brian can make it,

but I will definitely be there.

Cool.

We'll see you guys there then.

See you later!

Awesome. Bye.

Thanks for that.

Yeah, no problem.

You know, I'm really glad
that you told me your story.

I know old memories
are a big part of who we are,

but, um...

you could always try
to make some new memories.

Hmm...

Trust me,
Christmas is worth it.

Okay.

What? Really?

Sure, I'll come.

-Really?
-Yeah.

Oh, that's awesome!
That'll be so fun!

You're gonna love it.

It's gotta be
better than this.

Well...

Is Christy gonna be
okay with it?

-'Cause it's not technically...
-Yeah, no, no,

she's working on this other
big project,

so I'll just
catch up with her after.

Okay.

Thanks, everyone, for coming
to Mistletoe on Main's

Annual Stocking Party!

Eat, drink, dance,

and, of course, decorate!

Oh, and don't forget,

the best stocking wins

a special
Christmas Mistletoe wreath!

So, good luck.

Hey, are you having
a good time?

Are you kidding me?

Christmas crafts,
and holiday music, and food?

It's perfect.

-Hi.
-Hi.

What's going on
with you and Tyler?

You looked very cozy
at the ice rink.

You know what's weird?

He's been living here
for almost two years,

and he comes to the restaurant
all the time,

and we shop
at all the same stores,

and he's come to
all the same town events,

but I mean, we never met
until that day in the bakery.

Hmm.

Well, they say
timing is everything.

Right?

It's crazy to think

that the right person
could be right in front of you,

and you may never even...

...know it.

What?

Mel, I think your co-host
needs some co-decorating.

Yeah, I hope that's enough.

Okay, yeah.

Hey...

-Hey.
-How's it going?

Well, I told you
I'm not very crafty.

I would never have guessed.

It's a...

It's a football.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Uh, yeah, I can see that.

Yeah?

No.

No.
You're terrible.

We can work on it.
We can fix it.

I have an idea.

What if we added a jersey.

Ooh, goalposts,

and if we just made it
a little smaller,

you could, like,
have the football...

No, we are not fixing that.

-We cannot...
Oh, I bet we could fix it.

I Christmas bet...

that we can fix it.

Oh...

okay.

Okay, well, um,

we don't win
that wreath trophy thing,

then tomorrow on the show,

you have to say
that I am the best host ever.

Oh, ho, ho, yes...

Okay.

I'm in,

but if we do win,

you... have to dance

a Christmas carol dance
of my choosing, with me.

No, I don't dance.

Oh, no, you can't dance.

Right, I do remember that
from the Halloween Hoedown,

my feet have never recovered,

but you will dance.

Oh, fighting words.

I am so in
for this little bet.

It's happening.

Right, you got the glue?

Hey, you know when I told you
that I was a kid,

and I only got one present
at Christmas?

Uh-huh.

Well, it was a football.

My dad and I would
play catch with that thing

constantly.

Then it just got
some big life of its own.

You know, high school,
college, the pros.

Well, I just..

the part
I missed the most, though,

was playing catch with my dad.

Crazy to think that
that all started

from one Christmas present.

Well, it's a good thing
it wasn't a gift card.

Hey...

Hey!

Hey, you two look festive.

I thought I was meeting you
back at the hotel.

You were.

Um... an hour ago.

What?

Oh, I am so sorry.

We got hung up in doing
these stockings for charity.

Look at this one Mel did
with the football.

Oh, no, no,
it's not my idea.

It was actually
all Brian's vision.

-I just helped.
-Okay.

Do you want to make one?

There's still plenty of stuff.

-You could decorate...
-Oh, no, no, I'm good.

Thank you.

Can we talk privately?

Of course, I'm sorry.

Uh, I'm gonna take this
to Lexie.

I think we have a winner.

Is everything okay?

Oh, yeah, I've got some news.

Once you're done here
with "Bright And Merry,"

I've got us our own show!

Can you believe it?

Mistletoers, listen up!

The time has come

to announce
our favorite stocking!

I just told you
I got us our own show.

Aren't you gonna say anything?

And the winner is...

the football stocking
by Melissa Merry!

Whoa...

I've just found out

that this was a joint effort,

so, Brian, come on up!

Melissa and Brian
will be leading us

in the final dance
of the night!

One sec.

Oh, wait.

You know what, actually,

Brian and I would love
to invite everyone

to dance with us...

Oh, yeah, that would be
so much better.

...and really, we just
want to say thank you

to everyone

for including us
in this amazing evening.

That's right,
this was amazing.

Thanks, everyone.

-You ready? Okay.
-Let's go.

Let's go.

It's a reality show

about a famous actress
and a star football player

living in the public eye.

They're gonna film us
at events, parties,

and doing regular stuff, too.

The producers think
there's enough

for a second season...

-Wow.
-Yeah.

Look, I know
I've thrown a lot at you,

but this is the big project
I've been working on.

I just want to make sure

you're as ready for this
as I am.

Yeah, um...

you have worked so hard.

It's great.

Okay.

They've sent the contracts,

so we're able
to sign them here.

Yeah.

Oh...

Oh, Stan...

Wow, this thing's amazing.

Yeah.

What do we gotta do
to get this thing working?

Well, the suspension is shot,

and those wheels under there
haven't turned in 25 years.

Right.

Let me, uh, get down here
and take a look, huh?

So, uh, how are you
liking Mistletoe?

Oh...

what a great town.

You know, if you'd have told me
a week ago

that I was gonna be
making gingerbread houses,

and crafting with a glue gun,

trying to fix
an old carriage up for Mel,

I would have probably
called you crazy, Stan.

I don't know, it just...

it feels like my perspective
is changing

on a few things right now.

Well, sometimes,

when you change the way
you look at things,

the things you look at change.

No way!

I know, right?

You're not really gonna
let them wear that on camera,

are you?

It wasn't my idea.

Oh, uh...

lock it up, people!

Jennifer, we've got a problem

with the teleprompter.

I'm okay wearing this,

but you seem oddly okay

with wearing that
on national television.

They turned out better

than I thought they would.

You did this?

Yes!

Uh, Mel, Brian,
uh, places, please?

-Thanks, guys.
-Thank you.

Problem.

The teleprompters are down...

-What?
...-but we gotta go.

Are you okay without them?

Uh, I have my notes.

Are you good?

I have her.

-Okay...
-Let's do it.

Here we go, people!

We are live
in five, four, three...

I'll go first.

Welcome to
"Today With Bright And Merry."

We have to start
by asking for your help.

That's right.

A pipe has burst
in Mistletoe's town center.

Yeah, and they lost
almost all of the gifts

that they had for kids in need.

So if you are
anywhere near Mistletoe,

and can spare it...

We would really appreciate it

if you could bring down a gift

to the Festival of Lights
tonight.

It would mean a lot.

Thank you.

Be sure to tune in

to our very special
Christmas Eve episode.

-You won't wanna miss that.
-Absolutely.

Also, how's about these shirts?

Oh, ho, ho, right?

I mean, come on,
doesn't she look great in this?

And I am gonna tell them,
of course.

They deserve to know.

Brian got these shirts!

Yes, I did.

Talk about
the Christmas spirit!

I got no problem owning that.

And in spite of the shirts,

I do wanna say that, um...

you are the best co-host
I've ever worked with.

We'll be right back.

Oh...

and we're out!

Thanks for saying that.

I mean, technically
you didn't have to say that,

because, you know,

you did win the contest
fair and square.

Well...

Okay, and as for
the teleprompter,

you're better without it.

So, what's the very special
Christmas Eve episode?

If you had asked me yesterday,

I could've told you,

but after just seeing them now?

Only Santa knows.

Lexie, hi!

Hi!

I come bearing
good tidings of joy

and muffins.

Those are my favorite kind.

Okay, so I was thinking

what if I added a brunch
to my presentation,

and then I came up
with these muffins,

but...

you promised you'd be honest.

Oh, I promise.

Just don't keep me
away from the sugar,

and no one gets hurt.

Drum roll, please.

Apple crumb streusel muffins.

This is amazing.

Honestly.

This is insane.

Thank you.

I have to post a picture
of how beautiful these are, too.

Look at this.

I know you and Brian
aren't a couple, but...

you'd never know it
looking at those pictures.

We wouldn't be
a very good couple.

Some days, we're not even
good co-hosts.

No, there's a million reasons
why we couldn't be together.

♪ ...laughing all the way
Ho, ho, ho! ♪

♪ Jingle bells, jingle bells ♪

♪ Jingle all the way ♪

♪ Doo-doo-doo-doo! ♪

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

Is he shooting a scene
in his room, or...?

Oh, no.

No, he's not.

Oh.

Interesting.

Mm-hmm.

You know...

Brian didn't seem like
a very big fan of Christmas

when you guys first got here.

He wasn't.

Anyways...

Whoa, whoa!

One more for later.

I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah, absolutely.

-This was perfect.
-Bye!

Hey, whatcha doing?

You working?

No, I was just making sure

all my packages
got delivered in time

for everyone's
Christmas presents, and...

Mm-hmm.

...trying not to be
too disappointed

about everything
I'm missing out on back home.

Oh.

-What are you doing?
-Oh, yeah. Uh-huh.

You going to see Christy?

No, I'm not going to do that
until after work tonight.

She's closing some big deal.

Wow.

You mean, like a new movie?

It's a, uh, TV show.

But, uh, listen,

I have a surprise for you.

I don't like surprises.

I know.

What, are you waiting
for Christmas?

That's not how you use
that expression!

Well, so?
You're laughing.

Come on, let's go!

- Come on!
- What?

This way.

What?

-So you said...
-Whoa!

...that you and your sister
make cookies every Christmas.

-Mm-hmm.
-Since you can't...

I asked Ginny
if we could use the kitchen,

and I called Kate,

and got all the ingredients
for your spicy ginger cookies.

Thank you.

Look at
how you set this all up.

Oh, my...

Here we go

Excuse me.

It's just my small way

of saying thank you
for putting up with me all year.

Wait a second.

Did I have a choice?

Yeah, I don't think you did.

No...

Okay, so listen,

you just tell me what to...
what to do here, all right?

Not my specialty.

Oh, right, um...

Okay, well, you could start
by preheating the oven to 350.

Okay, which one's the oven?

Ah, just kidding.

I made a playlist.

Okay...

Ooh, 350. Okay.

All right.

What now?

Uh, well, you could...

mix the butter and the sugar,
Kris Kringle.

Okay.

So how is
the, uh, co-host search coming.

Oh, slower
than the network would like.

I just want to make sure
I get it right...

this time,

after what happened with you.

Right, yeah.

Yeah, I see what you did there.
That was funny.

That was pretty funny.

Okay, so let's talk
about something else.

Like, why you're single.

Oh.

No, let's not.

Come on, yeah, no,
that's a good one,

'cause I really don't get that.

Okay, come on, you've had
to have had boyfriends.

Yes, I had boyfriends.

Okay...

I've had boyfriends,
one really serious one.

Okay...

Did you bake with him?

Well, hey, I just want to know
where I stand

on the cookie-baking
partner list.

Okay.

Well, yes.

Yes, we baked together,

but, uh, you know,

I was a different person.

Different how?

Well...

I used to be relaxed.

Ha!

Yup, it's true.

You? Come on.

Yeah.

No planning, no preparing.

I'm not believing
a word of this.

Oh, well,
it didn't work out for me.

What do you mean?

I, um, I got
this amazing opportunity...

Mm-hmm.

...on a big network show,

and I blew it.

It was the very beginning
of my career,

and I just thought
it was all gonna work out,

so I didn't plan,

I didn't work hard enough...

and I didn't get the job.

So I have spent every
waking moment since then

making sure that I am ready,

that I am prepared
for every job,

from the smallest co-host spot

on a low-rated cable show,

to "Today
With Bright And Merry."

Well, practice hard
so the games are easy, right?

Yeah, right!

Go ahead, make your jokes.

It's okay, I can take it.

No, hey,
I don't have any jokes.

Honest, I got nothing.

It's just...

I'm probably more impressed
with you now

than I was before.

You swear you didn't
put him up to this?

Sister swear.

I don't know what it is,

but something's
different about him.

Enough for you to admit
you might like him?

Peppermint hot chocolate?

-Mm...
-Thank you.

Kate! You're awesome.

Merry Christmas.

What did you say?

The look on your face
already answered my question.

Even if you're right,

and I'm not saying you are...

he has a girlfriend.

Maybe,

but that doesn't mean

you shouldn't tell him
how you feel.

I don't have any idea
how I feel.

You and I both know
that's not the truth.

You just don't want to admit
how you feel.

I just don't want you
to miss out on something,

or someone wonderful,

because you're scared
to take a chance.

So, I was up
all night last night...

Oh, no.

...and I made a list.

Did you check it twice?

What's that?

It's a song.

It...
Never mind.

What's the list?

All the things
I've never done in my life

until this week.

That's a very big title.

Big list.

I built a gingerbread house.

I baked cookies.

I went ice skating.

I decorated a tree,

and I rehearsed... with you.

Let me see this.

Wait, you forgot
about our three-legged race.

No, I intentionally
left that off the list.

Why?

Because
I'm still burned we lost.

-Me too.
-Yeah.

Um... but there was
one other thing

that I've never done before

that I would like
your help with.

Okay...

I wanna shop for presents.

The famous gift-card giver

wants to give
actual physical presents?

You made me see
Christmas differently, Mel.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Mel, Brian,

great job this week.

The ratings are still up,

and the network is thrilled.

Okay, so we have
one more shot with you,

and it will be of you both
writing a wish,

and hanging it on the tree.

I just put mine up there.

Oh, what did you wish for?

Well, um...

I wish

that neither of you
make a mistake

you'll regret
for the rest of your life.

Well, we're, uh,
we're rolling...

so, um,
whenever you're ready.

Thank you.

Okay...

All right,
you're the expert here.

Does this have any shot
at coming true?

I choose to believe.

All right.

Mel...

Yeah?

Never mind.

Is this how you do it?

-What?
-It's perfect.

Thank you.

Christy, you just missed Brian.

Oh.

I'll find him later.

I just want to make sure
we're okay.

Of course we are.

Good.

I was so afraid
that you would be upset

that he was leaving your show
to come do mine.

What?

He didn't tell you?

It's a reality show

that will bring our fans

into our world
of premieres and parties,

and follow us as we move in,
get engaged.

Life stuff.

That sounds so perfect
for you two.

Everyone thinks
it will be a hit.

I'm sure it will be.

Glad we're okay.

Me too.

Yeah.

There you are.

Hey.

Let's go over here
and talk for a minute.

I have the contracts
for us to sign.

Yeah, um...

But it seems like

I don't really need
to take them out of my purse.

Hey...
I loved your show today.

Oh.

You and Melissa
are really great together.

-Thanks.
-Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you.

Sorry.

Christy, um...

I think we want
two different things.

No.

I want the same thing,

but you changed what you wanted.

I didn't expect
for this to happen.

It's okay, Brian.

We're all allowed to change...

...and I've got a backup plan.

Of course you do.

I'm gonna go.

Somewhere warm,
I'm guessing.

Yes.

Very warm.

Good luck
with everything, Brian.

Merry Christmas.

Mistletoe has had
an incredible tradition

of donating toys
to local hospitals

for some pretty
incredible kids.

That's right, and even though
we had a small setback,

we are still
accepting donations

at the Festival of Lights
tonight.

We're both gonna be there,
so come on down.

We have a lot more ahead,
so stick with us.

We'll be back.

Mel and Brian,
that was perfect.

Thank you!

Hey, I came by your room
last night to talk to you,

but, um, you weren't around.

Yeah, I was busy.

Well, after work today,

can we sit down
and have a cup of coffee?

I, um,

I have to just, you know,
focus on everything.

It's gonna be our last show.

We gotta work on that.

All right, Mel,
what's going on?

I just need to focus.

Okay.

Rule number 315
about being a good producer...

Don't repeat anything
you just heard.

Copy that.

Taylor, can you please
tell Sound

to turn off their mics.

Sure.

Oh, wow.

Okay...

Keep 'em coming.

All right.

Uh-oh...

Wait, Brian, I got one more.

Yeah, and this looks like
a great job, everyone!

Nice! Wow!

Everybody, line up!

Thank you, guys.

Good night.

Hey, good talking to you guys.

Hey, Melissa...

Mel.

Hey...

I've been trying
to talk to you.

You don't have to.

I already know.

You know what?

Christy told me
about your new show.

Congratulations.

That's what I want
to talk to you about.

Brian...

I don't want to hear it.

So he had another show
lined up with Christy

this whole time?

Yup.

That's why he was being
so nice to me this week.

Wait, he said that's the reason
he's been so nice to you?

No.

He didn't.

Well, what exactly did he say?

He didn't say anything,
actually,

I didn't let him.
I just...

Go talk to him,

and call me later.

Melissa...

Melissa! I did it!

I finally pitched my ideas
to the restaurant,

and...

as of the new year,

they're gonna be adding
some of my dishes to the menu.

I'm so happy for you!

-Thank you!
-You are awesome.

And I'm sorry
that I didn't ask you sooner.

I feel like a terrible friend.

What? No, no, no.

I mean... because of you
and your advice,

I might be a real chef one day.

Is Brian back?

I haven't seen him.

I almost forgot...

this came for you.

Oh, thanks.

If you see Brian...

I'll tell him
you're looking for him.

Okay, thank you.

"Melissa Merry,
your presence is requested

this Christmas Eve Eve.

Be outside at 8:00 p.m.

A surprise awaits."

Ginny says she got the note.

All right, we're not
gonna finish this tonight.

We'll do it tomorrow.

I gotta go.

Thanks, Stan!

Okay.

Oh, perfect timing.

James.

I was, uh,

wondering if you wanted
to grab a bite to eat.

Oh.

I would love that.

Yes, um...

sounds great.

Okay.

I'm sure you're ready
to get back home,

but, uh, I've gotta say

that having your show here

is the most exciting thing

that's ever happened
in Mistletoe.

Brian is leaving the show.

Wait...

Brian's leaving?

His last day is tomorrow.

Uh... please don't
say anything.

No, no, of course.

No, but what are you gonna do?

I don't know.

When I got your note, I was...

Wait, I didn't leave you
a note.

It was Brian.

He wrote me a note,

asking me to meet him
at 8:00, and...

and I missed it.

I've seen the way
Brian looks at you,

and if I was him...

I'd wait.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Brian?

I need to talk to you.

Merry Christmas, sis!

Merry Christmas, Kate.

So, did you talk to Brian
last night?

No.

Look, I tried, okay?

I knocked on his door,
and he wasn't there.

I should've just listened to him
when he tried to explain.

Maybe I should have told him
how I feel.

So talk to him
before you start shooting.

It's too late now.

You know, he has that project
with Christy.

Tonight is just...

gonna be my last show with him.

At least give him your present.

I'll think about it.

I'll call you after.
I love you.

Love you back.

Tyler, wait,
do you know where Brian went?

Yeah, he was here earlier
to get ready,

but then he rushed off.

Said he had to get something
from his room?

-Thanks.
-No problem.

Brian?
Are you there?

Brian?

Sound?

Brian and Mel
are already mic'ed up, yes?

Could you turn
their mics on, please?

Guys...

I need you to get outside.

I want hidden cameras
on Brian and Mel.

Come on, let's go!

Melissa is looking for you.

Ready?

Hey, um...

Hey, Stan,

how did you know
that Ginny was the one?

Because she has been
driving me crazy

since the day I met her.

That works.

It's like I got
pre-game jitters.

Today could literally be
the last day that I see her,

and I don't know what to say.

What do I say to her?

Tell her the truth.

Tell her how you feel,

and you will never regret it.

B camera,
for the love of Christmas,

find me Brian.

There's Brian.

Punch in on him.

In a few seconds,

our hosts of America's
number-one talk show

are going to do something
quite spectacular.

How do you know that?

You need to always
listen to your gut

when you're producing.

No matter how absurd
it might be.

My gut has guided me

through many years
of incredible shows,

and right now that same gut
is telling me

we need to cut
into the taped segments

and go live
earlier than planned.

Are you allowed to do that?

No, but what if
something should happen,

and this was the very last show
of "Bright And Merry"?

Well, wouldn't you want it
to be the best one ever?

Brian?

People!

We are going live!

Take it away, Tyler.

You know my name?

Of course,
I was just testing you.

Well, did I pass?

On Tyler's count,

we are going live in...

Five, four, three...

♪ ...I can just imagine ♪

♪ I can feel
it's gonna happen... ♪

Brian, this is beautiful.

♪ ...Oh, it's Christmas ♪

♪ Oh, it's Christmas ♪

♪ Oh, it's Christmas... ♪

It's all Stan.

Hey, I am so sorry.

I'm really sorry
about what I said.

Can I go first?

I rehearsed...

like, a hundred times.

I know that I'm done
on the show after today,

but there is
no other show, okay?

I'm not doing it,

and me asking to leave
"Bright And Merry"

was a giant mistake,

and I regret it...

and most importantly,

I am so sorry
that I did that to you.

Thank you for saying that.

Christy and I broke up...

...and maybe that was
gonna happen anyway, but...

being here,

just everything this week,
it just...

I just know she isn't the one...

and I know that because...

she isn't you.

You have changed me, Mel,

and my life...

is better...

and I have fallen
completely in love with you.

They're probably, uh...

Well, I'm sure
they're looking for us now...

Wait.

It's okay.

Tell him, Mel!

Tell him right now!

Where's a teleprompter
when you need one.

You're better without it.

You drive me so crazy.

-Right, you just...
-Come on, you...

...and you never let me
finish my sentences!

You-you are not crafty,

and you don't even know
all the words

to "Jingle Bells"!

and I haven't been able
to focus,

and I...

I don't want to stay up
all night working anymore...

and...

and I tried really hard, but...

I couldn't find another co-host,

because none of them was you...

and I have fallen
completely in love with you.

Did you just steal my line?

Yeah, I did.

Well, you'd better kiss me
before the cameras find us.

Oh, sweet Father Christmas,

that just took
giddy and adorable

to a whole new level!

I think that fruitcake's
already been eaten.

Um... Oh.

I, um...

Yeah.

That's just a gift card.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Think you could handle

another year
of "Bright And Merry"?

I was thinking

I could handle
"Bright And Merry" indefinitely.

Merry Christmas, Brian.

Merry Christmas, Melissa.

Hang on, you two.
