- [Woman] Morgan

- Oh no, did the
boards not come in?

No, no, they landed,
they look great.

But you'll never
guess what happened.

- Wait, you guys have only been
dating for like six months.

- Yeah, well, when
you know, you know.

I followed your lead and put Ken

on an email list
for a few jewelers.

Worked like a charm.

- Wow, well, congrats,
I'm so happy for you two.

- Listen, you have
been with Liam forever.

I'm sure it's really
a matter of time.

Wait, your anniversaries
this weekend, right?

- Yeah.

Maybe we make you a nail
appointment just in case.

- Okay, call the
salon, just in case.

- In case.

[laughing]

[gentle music]

- Hey babe.

- I'll be there in a minute.

- We're celebrating.

I brought champagne.

- Grab the nice
champagne glasses.

Why aren't you dressed?

- What are you talking about?

- What do you think?

- Oh, I mean, yeah,
I finally found

the perfect house
for that couple, but.

- Oh, sounds great.

But is there anything
else you wanna celebrate?

Liam, do you realize
what day it is?

- Friday.

- This is so typical of you,
always forget our anniversary.

- Oh babe, is that today?

I'm so sorry.

Work's been crazy, but
maybe we can go out

for a special day tomorrow?

- Is our relationship
that insignificant to you?

- What are you talking about?

Our relationship is
very important to me.

- Then why, after five years,

did you forget our anniversary?

Yes, if I was such
a priority to you,

then how could you forget?

- I'm sorry, I've
just been focused on.

- Everything, but us.

After all this time, I
thought we would grow closer,

but you still won't let me in.

- Wait.

I've been getting all these ads
for engagement rings lately.

You didn't?

- I did.

Why not?

- I'm just not ready for that.

And you know how I
feel about marriage?

- I know, but I've changed.

And I thought you would too.

You should know by now
if I'm the one or not.

- Morgan, I love you, but.

- I love you too,

but I can't stay in a
relationship anymore

where I feel like I'm
just temporary housing

until you find
your perfect home.

It's not fair to me.

- I get it.

I should go.

[gentle music]

- You need some
time to yourself.

'Cause I'm concerned about
you with this breakup.

- How can I enjoy Christmas,
when I'm heartbroken?

- You don't need him or
any man to make you happy.

You are a strong,
independent woman.

- You're right.

But I don't love him
because I need him.

I need him because I love him.

Makes sense?

We dated for five years.

I'm ready to move forward
with a commitment.

He should know by now,
if I'm the one or not.

And apparently I'm not.

I feel like I'm just as stand in

until his true love comes along.

- I get it.

You just need to focus
on what you used to love

about the holidays.

Hopefully it will help
get your old self back.

Christmas used to
be so special to us.

- Oh, it's gonna be tough
now that I'm all alone.

- I know, I'm sorry, I
have to go to the in-laws.

Maybe you're lucky
you're not married.

[both laughing]

But we will all have
our family together

for Christmas, at my place.

- And there's nowhere else,
I'd rather be in the world.

[gentle music]

- Oh no.

I thought you got
rid of all of these.

All of these pictures.

I hate leaving you like this.

Can't you go somewhere, like
maybe a tropical island?

- Stop worrying about me, I
want you to enjoy your trip,

well, as much as you can.

I'll be fine, I promise.

No more Liam.

- [Commentator] And the
pitch, there's the hit.

Out to left field.

This one is way
out there and gone.

Over the left field fence.

[crowd cheering]

- Hey, I was watching that.

- This has to stop.

The sofa has a
permanent imprint in it

'cause you've been
lying there so long.

Your boss is wondering if
you'll ever return to work.

And trust me, if
you lose your job,

I ain't covering your rent.

- Yeah, well I'm not
really in the mood

for selling people
their dream home.

- Look, it's Thursday night.

You need to get off your
butt and go out with me.

Come on, this is pathetic.

- Tell me what you really think.

- You need to get
back in a game.

I mean, pretty girls, you
and me, how it used to be,

breaking hearts.

- We never did that.

We talked about it a lot.

- Well, you won't know if you
still got it, unless you try.

- Hey, can you pass me some
more like candy please?

- You mean the ones
Morgan left here.

[gentle upbeat music]

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle upbeat music]

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle upbeat music]

- I need to get away.

How do you get over
your ex at Christmas?

Christmas Lonely Hearts Club.

- "A singles only
program to detox

"from relationships
over the holidays."

- "A safe place to regain
your love of the season,

"enjoying lots of
Christmas activities

"with a new set of
welcoming friends."

- "Avoid the loneliness
of the holidays

"and bond with a group of
people in the same situation."

- "Absolutely no
relationships allowed."

Perfect.

- Now that's more like it.

You look a lot better.

- Check this out.

- Oh this is exactly
what you need.

- Right.

- You'll come back refreshed,
in a festive spirit

and more importantly,
single and ready to mingle.

Come on, man, hit that button.

[gentle upbeat music]

Boom.

[both laughing]

[car engine revving]

[gentle upbeat music]

[birds chirping]

- Here, let me help.

[both laughing]

- I am so sorry.

I didn't know you
were standing there.

- My apologies, I shouldn't
have crept up on you like that.

- Okay.

- My goodness, are you
staying for a month?

I thought the B&B program
ended on Christmas.

- I didn't know what to pack.

Are you staying here as well?

- Indeed.

Let me get this.

- Thank you.

I'll get your bag, how's that?

- Very well.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- So, I'm Morgan.

- Harry.

- [Morgan] Nice to meet you.

- [Harry] Likewise.

[gentle upbeat music]

- Welcome.

Come on in.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- You must be Harry.
- Yes.

- And you're Morgan, correct?

We spoke on the phone.

Oh so pleased you found us.

You two better not be a couple.

You know the rules.

- No, no, we just met outside.

[laughing]

- I'm only kidding,
of course you aren't.

It's a singles only program.

Well I'm Juliet and I'll
be taking care of you.

Please make this your home.

This is your safe space
for the next week.

- Thank you, Juliet.

- These are for you.

Morgan, you're in room three,

which is just up the
stairs to the right.

And take this time
to get settled in

and make yourself comfortable.

Then we'll be having
some welcome drinks

in the living room at four.

- Sounds good, thank you.

- [Juliet] Let me know
if you need anything.

- I will.
- Thank you.

- Do you need any help?

- Oh no, I can
take it from here.

Thank you.

- Okay, Harry at six,

which is also up
upstairs to the right.

Just go past three, four.

- [Harry] Five, six.

Goodness, we're
thinking the same thing.

- [Juliet] Oh no.

- Oh, stupid thing.

- Do you need some help?

- Oh.
- Sorry.

- So sorry, I didn't hear
you come up the stairs.

My key is just not
working, I think.

- I think you might
have the wrong room,

Juliet said I was
in number three.

- I am so sorry,
you're so right.

Force of habit.
- Oh totally fine.

- I've been coming
here for four years

and Juliet has always put
me in room number three.

- Oh, well I'm happy to
switch if you'd like.

- No, no it'll be nice to
try something different.

- Okay.

- Nola.

- Morgan, nice to meet you.

- Yeah, I will see you later
at the welcome meeting.

- I will see you later.

- [Nola] Cool.

[gentle music]

- Well, if I can't fall back
in love with Christmas here,

then I never will.

[door knocking]

Come in.

- Nola, I heard you had
got here a little early.

I wanted to make sure that you.

You're not Nola.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It seems I've still in our spot.

Nola's in room four,
if you wanna say hello.

- I'll see her at the
reception later on.

I'm David.

- Morgan.

- Pleasure to meet you, Morgan.

- So you've been
here before, too?

- This will be my fifth year.

It's a great place to come to
get away from all the chaos

and meet new people
who feel like family.

- That's exactly
what I'm looking for.

- Well, it's a pleasure
to meet you, Morgan.

- Likewise.

See you later.

- Have a good one.

Room four, right.
- Room four.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

- I am so pleased that
you chose my program

as your sanctuary
this Christmas.

Christmas time, it's not
always joyous for everyone.

One can feel lonely

or even jealous, seeing
others in relationships.

Here, you'll make new friends

and escape the pressures
of forced relationships.

And learn that this season
is and always should be

the happiest time of the year.

And you don't need a
partner to make you happy.

[all laughing]

When I moved here from London,
I was completely alone,

but I made my family here
with all my wonderful guests.

[gentle music]

In order to maintain the
integrity of the program,

my only rule is no dating.

[gentle music]

You will learn that you
have to love yourself

before you can receive true
love from someone else.

You'll also learn to find the
joy of Christmas within here.

[fire crackling]

We are all in this together.

We are all in the same boat.

Or the same Christmas
sleigh, one might say.

So we have a full list
of activities planned.

I'll pass out the
activities later.

- I'm sorry, I'm late.

Is this the Christmas
rehab thing?

- Yes.

It's the Lonely
Hearts Christmas Club.

- Right.

- Come on in, we're
just getting started.

Liam, right?

- Yes, yes.
- Yes, yes.

Take a seat.

[fire crackling]

- You know, I just
realized that my mom

has decided to come
home for the holidays.

So I think I should go.

- Okay, no, no, no, no, no, no.

There's nothing to
be afraid of, okay.

We are all friends here.

Morgan, why don't you
make Liam feel at home?

[all laughing]

Everybody say hello to Liam.

- [All] Liam.

[gentle music]

[fire crackling]

- [Nola] I've been
coming for four years

and Juliet has always.

- [Juliet] Christmas
sleigh, one might say.

[gentle music]

- I'll be back.

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle music]

- What are you doing here?

- What are you doing here?

Why aren't you with Emma?

- She's with the in-laws.

And I thought I'd take
a little vacation.

- What about work?

Aren't you crazy busy right now?

- Oh no, I finished up
all my deadlines early.

I was super
productive this year.

And I thought this
place sounded fun.

I wanted to come check it out.

Not because the
heartbreak thing,

I didn't even know that
that's what goes on here.

- At the Christmas Lonely
Hearts Club, really?

- Well, what are you doing here?

- Well, just a stupid
mix up, really.

Andy booked it for himself

and then he suddenly
had to go out of town.

Booking was non-refundable,
so I thought, why not?

- Andy booked this?

- Yeah.

- Your roommate, Andy?

The same guy who goes up to
Christmas parties every night

with bundle of mistletoe,

to hit on as many girls
as possible, that Andy?

- He's trying to
change his ways.

- But decided he's not
ready to do so, clearly.

- Here we go.

Your itineraries for the week.

- Thank you.

- Day by day, hour by hour.

No shortage of
Christmas fun here.

Oh it is a busy day tomorrow,

so you might want
to get to bed early.

- Okay.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

[gentle music]

[people speaking indistinctly]

- So I should probably leave

since I'm assuming
I'm the last person

you wanna be around
during the holiday.

- No, not a problem for me.

I'm fine.

But I understand if
you feel uncomfortable

and you need to leave.

- No problem here.

And besides booking's
non-refundable.

- Right.

So I'll see you tomorrow.

- Right, goodnight.

- Goodnight.

[gentle music]

- [Nola] Goodnight.

- Oh Nola, did you
enjoy the introduction?

- I know it by heart.

- Right.

Why have you been here so often?

- Well, when my husband
died, five years ago,

holidays were really painful

and I was really
lonely and depressed.

So I found this place
and it saved me.

It's the best place to
be during the holidays.

- I am so sorry to hear
about your husband.

- No, it's fine.

It's a lot better now.

This place has been
really good for me, so.

I feel really happy
when I'm here.

I honestly never thought
I'd feel that way again.

Well, goodnight.

- Goodnight.

[gentle upbeat music]

[fire crackling]

♪ Deck the halls with
boughs of holly ♪

♪ Fa, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la ♪

- One of the most wonderful
things about the holidays,

is the decorating of one's tree.

Don't settle for a small
tree or even no tree,

just because you're
decorating for one.

Let the tree be an
expression for oneself.

Do you deserve a big,

be beautifully decorated
Christmas tree?

- Yes.
- Yes, of course.

You deserve the best.

And it will give you joy
every time you look at it.

Lionel, let me show you.

[both laughing]

- It looks like we
are stuck together.

[both laughing]

- Oh, oh no.

- I'm not sure there's
more lights needed here.

I didn't even
decorate this year.

- Ah, I know what you mean.

I didn't bother putting
up any decorations either.

If I wasn't for this retreat,

I would've missed the
season altogether.

- Well, I want to learn more
about the magic of Christmas

to tap into the lucrative market

for my confectionary company.

- You work in candy?

How sweet.

[both laughing]

- It's the first time
I've heard that line.

[Morgan laughing]

Yes, I'm the exec at
Chisel Chocolates.

It's a family business,

but I've been letting
the name down lately.

We're not hitting our
Christmas targets.

I'm single and a workaholic.

So I'm here to get
some Christmas spirit.

[gentle music]

[both laughing]

If I can understand
the magic of Christmas,

then I can help with
the marketing and
sales of our candy.

- There we go.

Well, that is very
practical of you.

- Guilty.

- I hope this place teaches you

more about the
magic of Christmas

than just how to make a profit.

- I'm already feeling
a lot more in love

with the season.

[gentle music]

- So Liam, what's a
handsome guy like you

doing in a place like this.

Shouldn't you be at
a Christmas party

meeting beautiful women?

- I'm not sure I'm ready

to jump back into the
dating scene just yet.

- Oh, just got out of a
serious relationship, huh?

Fortunately I never
had that problem.

Never got anything
long term, you know.

- Never been married, huh?

- Nah.

Seemed like too
much trouble to me.

Besides I like
doing my own thing

and it doesn't involve
walking around all day

carrying bags, you know.

- So what's your story?

- I've always loved
Christmas so much.

And I get to live
it nearly every day

through my work
creating holiday ads.

But I just seem to have lost
my mojo, my Christmas spirit.

And I need to get it back
if I wanna save my job.

- How ruthlessly
practical of you.

[both laughing]

- Guess we have
something in common.

- Yeah, maybe we
can help each other.

- All right, I'm gonna
try the other lights then.

- Good, I will do that.

- Bet you're not forced to watch

any silly Christmas
romance movies either.

- Or explain why 18 holes of
golf every day never gets old.

[laughing]

- Life of a bachelor
sounds pretty good.

- Yeah.

I guess.

[gentle music]

- Why would anyone
want to get married?

- Oh no.

- Here, let me help.

- Thank you so much.

So Harry, where'd you
say you come from again.

[all laughing]

- So yeah.

- Decorating cookies is my
favorite activity at the resort.

Never have time to
be creative, so.

- Yeah, it's very relaxing.

- Yeah, you didn't seem
very relaxed yesterday.

What's going on
with you and Liam?

- Liam?

I don't know what you mean.

I was just getting to know him.

- Yeah.

- What?

- You just seem familiar.

He's really attractive.

- Oh, you want me to
put in a good word,

he seems like if
be open to dating.

- No, thank you.

That's against the
rules, first of all.

And I just, I really want
you to enjoy yourself

while you're here.

So if you want to
talk or need to talk,

you know where to find me.

- There's honestly
nothing to talk about.

I'm staying well away from Liam.

He seems like a guy who
doesn't believe in commitment.

- Just met, huh?

Well, whatever is going on,

I hope you can just
forget it and relax.

- Yeah.

I'm hoping the change
of scenery does me good.

- Are you sure
there's nothing wrong?

- Yeah, I just lost
my Christmas spirit.

It's been a rough
couple of weeks.

- Well, good news is you
came to the right place.

And I think it's gonna take
just a little bit longer

for you to get your
Christmas talents back.

- Oh, rude.

[both laughing]

Is it that bad?

- It's a mess.

- It is that bad.
- It's a rough one.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

- Oh.

What happened to you, Morgan?

[gentle music]

- Getting in trouble again?

- Oh, hey, I'm such a klutz.

- I don't think you should
be carrying anything.

- Well, I'll make
sure to call you over

next time and go
to pick up anything

so you can come
rushing to the rescue.

[both laughing]

- [Harry] Did you make this?

- Yes.

I think I subconsciously
dropped it

because it looks so awful.

I'm certain Juliet
will not be impressed.

- Well, that's my
piece de resistance

that Juliet had David
and I working on.

- Ah, French, fancy.

[speaks in foreign language]

I think you said
something about dogs.

[laughing]

- Almost.

- Well, they're very good.

They look like snowflakes.

- I'll find a broom to
clean this up proper.

- Thank you, as a reward,
I'll get you some cocoa.

- Sounds good.

- Sorry, I didn't
know you were in here.

I can come back later.

- No, it's fine.

I was just making
some hot chocolate.

- I was about to do the same.

- Listen about yesterday.
- Look,

I wanted to talk to but.

- Sorry, go ahead.

- No, it's okay, you go.

- Look, I know this is awkward.

We'd said we'd have no contact

and here we are unable
to avoid each other.

I think it's best if no one
knows about us, about our past.

We don't want to cause
any tension in the group.

- Yeah, I was thinking
the same thing.

- Good.

It doesn't help to move on,

if everyone keeps
asking us what happened.

- Yeah, I couldn't agree more.

- Cool.

- Cool.

- So truce, some hot
chocolate as a peace offering.

- Oh actually I'm gonna
need two cups please.

- Right.

Here you go.

- Thanks, see you later.

- Yep, see you.

[gentle music]

- Your cocoa, Sir.

- Whoa, who told you, you
could carry hot drinks?

- Beep, beep coming
through, stand back 50 feet.

[Harry laughing]

- Thank you.

- Let's do a Christmas puzzle.

- Sure.
- Yeah.

[gentle upbeat music]

And.
- Oh no.

- For my next mess.

[gentle upbeat music]

- Let me just get these for you.

- The stew was delicious.

- Yes, compliments to the chef.

- Thanks, it's just
a family favorite.

Quite easy to make.

Now listen, you two,

this retreat is all
about getting out there,

making new friends.

So make sure you
mingle with everyone

and not just each other.

- Absolutely love.

- Morgan, I bet you didn't know,

Liam is also from Cleveland.

Perhaps you two have
some mutual friends?

- I highly doubt it.

I mean, Cleveland's
such a big city.

Plus I overheard
him talking to David

and he seems like the type
that I typically try to avoid.

You know, I like
to surround myself

with people who are punctual,

not people who are
chronically late

and think the world
revolves around them

and they stop it and they're
like, "Hey, I'm here.

"Everyone come onto my clock
and do what I have to do."

And not people who
forget important dates.

- Well just maybe just don't
judge a book by its cover.

You never know what
people are going through.

- You're right, Juliet.

I will keep an open mind.

- Would you like to join me
outside for some hot chocolate?

- I'll have to
take a rain check.

I should settle into my room.

Gotta get ready for the next
activity Juliet throws our way.

- Of course.

So we'll see each other again.

- I think it's safe to say

we're gonna see each
other very soon.

Have a good night.

[gentle music]

- I don't believe it
out of all the places.

Do you think he's stalking you?

- No, what?

No, of course not.

It's just life's
odd sense of humor.

I did everything I could
to try to escape him

and look where we ended up,

in the middle of nowhere
in this romantic B&B

under the same roof.

- Romantic B&B?

I'm worried about you Morg.

- Well, you shouldn't be,

there's actually this
charming guy here, Harry,

he's British.

- Does he look
like prince Harry?

- Yeah, he kinda does.

He's cute.

- Must be awful.

- He's nice to talk to,

but I'm definitely not looking
for a new relationship.

Plus I can't even think
about it because if I did

Juliette would kick me out.

- Yeah, she sounds scary.

- She's passionate.

She just doesn't want
this place disturbed

by any relationship drama.

- Well, hello, what
could be more disruptive

than being stuck in
a B&B with your ex,

the love of your life.

- Emma.

- Sorry.

At least you thought he was.

Slip of the tongue.

I just think you should
think about leaving.

I can always come back early

and tell everyone
there was an emergency.

- No, don't do that.

And it's only five more
days I can handle it.

Plus it's kind of therapeutic.

- Sounds like messed up therapy.

You should see an
actual therapist.

Someone who make you
feel better, not worse.

- Emma, I'm finding closure.

I heard Liam tell someone

that he never wants
to get married.

It's all so obvious now.

He doesn't even seem remotely
upset that we broke up.

I needed to see that.

It's over for good.

Now I can just
focus on moving on

and hopefully find my
excitement over Christmas again.

- Okay, just please be careful.

I love you.

[door knocking]

- Sorry, I gotta go.

I love you too.

Come in.

- Bonsoir.

I'm sorry to bother you, but
I wanted to give you this.

- Okay.

- All the guests
are going to write

a private letter to Santa,

expressing their
hopes for the holidays

and wishes for the new year.

It's an exercise to
help liberate you

and reconnect with
the soul of Christmas.

So just write
whatever's on your mind.

And then when you're done,

pop it in the letter
box for Santa,

in the hallway.

- Thanks.

- Tomorrow evening, we are
having a wonderful group dinner.

I have paired each of you up
to prepare part of the meal.

I've got you down, working
with Nola on the roast.

Is that okay?

- That sounds great.

- Wonderful.

Well, that's it.

Ah, sleep well Morgan.

- Night.

[birds chirping]

[gentle upbeat music]

- Oh, good morning, David.

Did you sleep well?

- Like a log.

- Oh are you a yule log.

Oh, I see a letter
for Santa, please.

- So Juliet, I
wanted to talk to you

about today's activities.

- Yes.

- I see you paired me with Harry

for the gingerbread cookies.

- Is there a problem?

- Yes, I am allergic
to gingerbread.

- Allergic, since when?

You definitely didn't put that

on your dietary
requirements form.

- It developed later in life.

I get such an awful
rash from a cookie.

- Oh no, we can't have that.

We'll have to scrap the
gingerbread altogether.

- No, no, you can serve the
gingerbread to everyone else.

I don't want anyone to miss out.

I just can't touch 'em.

I guess I'll just have
to sit this one out.

But I would like to contribute,

maybe I can help Nola and
Morgan with the roast.

You know, Nola and
I did it last year.

- It was delicious.

I'll tell you what.

I'll see if Morgan
is happy to switch.

- Oh, okay, and then she can
partner with Harry, great.

- Wait, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no,

that is a terrible idea.

I can see potential
chemistry a brewing.

I'll switch things around,

put Morgan with Liam,

there is definitely no chance
many romance happening there.

- Right, right.
- Right.

- The boss.

- Right.

Right.
- Right.

[gentle upbeat music]

[door knocking]

- Come in.

- It's only me.

- What do you want?

- I've been ordered
to work with you

on baking the
gingerbread cookies.

- Oh, okay.

- Yeah, there's been a
slight reshuffling of teams.

So just checking to see
if you're up for it.

Do you wanna take
it in turns or?

- Liam, I've seen
you in the kitchen.

I'm not risking you
ruining the cookies.

- Good point.

But yeah, I just don't wanna
make it difficult for you.

- No, don't worry
about me, I'm fine.

But if you'd rather
just sit this one out,

I can make the cookies.

- No, I'm totally good.

And besides I should help.

- Okay.

- Okay.

[gentle music]

All right.

It says two cups of flour.

- Okay, pour me the first cup
and I'll slowly mix it in.

- Okay.

So how's it going?

- You mean here?

Good.

My room's very comfortable.

- I meant in general, since we?

- Since we broke up?

It's okay, you can say it.

I've been fine.

Busy, busy with work and stuff.

- Good.

Glad to hear it.

- You?

- Yeah, same, same, good, busy,

busy watching a whole lot of TV.

- Only TV?

I think I've watched
every movie ever made.

[both laughing]

- That's impressive.

Particularly fitting
in with work.

- Truthfully, I've bombed
a bunch of pitches.

My job's hanging on by a thread.

- That's not like you.

- I know.

I've turned into a Baja Bug.

It's like my Christmas spirit

has gone on holiday
or something.

- I'm sorry, you'll get it back.

It's a tough time of year

to pretend to be on top of
the world when you aren't.

- Yeah.

That's exactly how I feel.

I just can't fake it.

Not that I'm struggling
personally or anything,

just burnt out.

- Of course.

That's what I meant.

- Okay.

I will grab a measuring
spoon for the ginger.

You put out some flour
so we can roll the dough.

Sound like a plan?

- Sounds good to me.

[gentle upbeat music]

- I am so sorry.

- You're a walking disaster
area in the kitchen.

You know that right?

- Maybe.

[both laughing]

- Okay, just step
away from the flour.

- Yep, stepping away.

- Oh my gosh.

- Oh, you missed the spot.

- Thanks.

- And you missed some here too.

There.

[gentle music]

- How are you two getting along?

- Great.
- Great, yeah.

[gentle upbeat music]

- I feel like the table is
still missing something.

- You know what?

You're right.

- I know.

- [Both] Poinsettias.

[Nola laughing]

- You do have good taste.

- I could say the
same thing about you.

- It's an easy guess,
it's your favorite flower.

- How do you know that?

- You may have let it
slip once or twice,

a couple years back while
we were rapping gifts.

- I can't believe
you remember that.

[David laughing]

[gentle music]

Should we place out
some name cards, maybe?

- Great idea, I was
thinking Juliet at the head.

- Oh yeah, I agree.

And I think we should
place Morgan to her right

and Liam to her left.

Those two need to be
opposite each other.

- If I didn't know you better,

I'd say you were
up to something.

- What, me?
- Yes.

- Never, no, maybe.

Anyway, we need to place Lionel

at the far end of
the table so that

he can check the score.
- He can check the score,

yeah.

[both laughing]

- It is the hockey
quarter finals.

There's no way he's
getting through dinner

without checking the score.

- Not a chance, no.

- It's not happening.

[gentle music]

- Well ladies and gentlemen,

I think we must
say a big thank you

to all our wonderful chefs
who have outdone themselves.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Thank you.

[all applauding]

- Okay, dessert is up next.

But before that I want
to open up the floor

so that each of you can
share with the group,

your favorite Christmas memory.

It could be something
from your childhood

or maybe even something
from this trip.

[all laughing]

One of the things I love
most about Christmas

is all the nostalgia.

So who would like to go first?

[gentle music]

Morgan, how about you?

- It's hard to say.

- It can be something small.

- Well.

[gentle music]

When I was young,
we didn't have much,

even though my parents
were always working.

One year, my sister and I
took up a ton of odd jobs

to save up enough
money to buy my parents

this painting of our family.

When they opened it, they were
so surprised and so happy.

The look on their
faces was priceless.

And they always said that it
felt like a Christmas miracle

to watch our excitement,

as we opened our
presents from Santa.

But I think that
was the first time

that I really felt
the joy of giving.

And, it's a moment that
I'll remember forever.

- Oh, that's really lovely.

Thank you.

Yes, there's nothing quite like

seeing the joy a gift can bring.

- Liam, how about you?

- Well, that's easy.

In a previous relationship,

I was with someone who
adored the holidays.

Last year, she
wrote me a message

and put it in my
work bag every day,

for 12 days before Christmas.

They were either little
memories were shared together

or hopes for the future.

As soon as I read one,

I just couldn't wait
to open the next.

I always looked forward
to the next day.

- She sounds very special.

That must be very
painful for you.

- Not really.

It's a good reminder of how
to treat the person you love

and to cherish the moments
you share together.

If you take them for granted,

you might lose a chance to
tell them how you really feel

and they could be gone forever.

[gentle music]

- Hey guys, what I miss?

- Oh, well, Liam was
just filling us in

on his favorite
Christmas memory.

And a beautiful one, it was too.

Mine has to be this place.

Every year, I look
forward to coming back

and seeing all your faces.

- Juliet, why did you
start this retreat?

- Oh, well that is, it's
a tale as old as time.

I moved to the states for love

and he left me, so I suddenly

found myself alone at Christmas,

hundreds of miles from home.

So I decided to create this,

a place where single
people can come

and enjoy the holidays together.

Doesn't have to be miserable
just because you're alone.

- And if you found love again,

would you keep this place open?

[gentle music]

- I can't ever imagine
giving up this place.

But enough about me, I want
to hear about all of you.

Nola, would you like to
share with the group?

- Oh, I have so many.

- So, three years ago we
were building a snowman

and I didn't have a nose.

[all laughing]

- "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"

- Yes, yes.

Okay.

Sit down, sit down.

I need to explain the rules.

Okay, so we've all
played this before.

Okay, you draw a Christmas
idea out of Santa's hat,

you perform it and your
partner tries to guess.

Sound good?

- [All] Yes.

- Brilliant, let's
go, Harry, you're up?

- All right, all right.

[hands clapping]

- Two words, first word.

"Silent Night."

[all laughing]

- Yes.

- Unbelievable.

[people speaking indistinctly]

- Ready?

- I'm ready.

- Are you here?
- I'm with you.

Let's do it.

[gentle upbeat music]

Four words.

That's the smoke.

- Blanket.

Sweater.

You?

[gentle upbeat music]

- [Lionel] Two syllable.

[all laughing]

- Time.

Oh very impressive you two.

Very impressive.

Okay, last contestants,
Liam and Morgan.

- [David] Don't suck.

- [Nola] It's gonna be hard.

- How am I supposed to do this?

- Keep your clue hidden.

- Okay.

- Three words.
- Okay.

- First word.

Oh, Christmas lights.

Putting up Christmas lights.

Hanging Christmas lights up.

Icicles.

Popsicles.

Frozen.

- 30 Seconds.

- Okay, okay.

Second word sounds
like first word, okay.

Laughing, funny.

Santa, ho, ho, ho.

- 10 Seconds.

- Why are you so,
so bad at this?

- Why am I so bad at this?

Can't you see what I'm
trying to tell you?

- No, because you're
not doing the job.

- And time.

[all laughing]

- You know you're not supposed
to talk during your time.

- Not a chance.

- Holly Jolly Christmas.

Second word sounds
like first word.

- You know, that's a bad clue.

I didn't even get
the first word.

- Hey, guys, guys,
guys, come on.

There's no need to bicker.

It's just a game.

A game that Harry and I won.

Woo.

Okay, so the winner
for tonight's game

gets to choose the
secret Santa first.

[Liam laughing]

- What's so funny?

- We were awful.

- We were worse than awful.

Seeing as we don't
make such a great team.

- Lionel, hey.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[people speaking indistinctly]

- Me, okay.

- You're not joining in?

- Oh, Euchre, no.

You know how competitive I am?

- Yes I do.

[both laughing]

- I'm trying to make
friends not enemies.

- Makes sense.

[both laughing]

- They look so in love.

- Are we still playing, are
we still playing the game?

- I would like
it, it'd be great.

- Still playing game?

- Okay, I'll go, I'll go then.

- I wonder when David's
gonna tell her how he feels.

- Morgan.

That's really sweet,

but they're just friends.

He's a bachelor for life.

I don't think he's
ever gonna wanna change

the good set up he's got.

- And are we still friends?

I'd like us to be.

- Yeah, of course.

[gentle music]

I'm happy that we can be
like this, after everything.

- Yeah, me too.

[gentle music]

You seemed to be
having loads of fun

playing cards
earlier, with David.

- What are you trying
to say, Morgan?

- I'm not prying.

I just have to wonder if maybe

there's something more
between the two of you.

Like, if the happiest time for
you each year is coming here,

maybe it isn't just
the lovely decor

and the military-like schedule
of Christmas activities.

[Nola laughing]

- You're not wrong.

And David and I are
really good friends.

He makes me happy.

And he makes me smile.

And those are things
that I honestly

didn't know would happen again.

So yeah, I enjoy his company.

But I don't lie
to myself about us

being more than what we are.

- There's only a few more days
left until the stay is over.

- You don't need to remind me.

I've tried to reach
out in the past.

And I just feel like he
wasn't very receptive.

But Liam, is that
your first love

or just the guy that
broke your heart?

Because I think it's the latter.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

[gentle music]

- Well, I see pain in your eyes,
every time you look at him.

I'm always right
about these things.

My husband used to
find it very annoying.

So your secret is safe with me.

- Liam used to find that
very annoying about me too.

[both laughing]

You got me.

We dated for five years.

Everything was perfect.

Initially I was the
one who saw a marriage,

like a life sentence.

And he agreed.

But as my love for him grew,

I began to realize
that it's not hard

to commit to someone
for a lifetime,

if they're truly the one.

Unfortunately Liam
doesn't feel the same way.

And after all this time,

he should know whether
or not I'm his soul mate.

So we broke up and as
a cruel twist of fate,

look where we both ended up.

[both laughing]

- I'm sorry.

I know it's probably
really hard to see him.

- Yeah, it's not been the
escape from heartbreak

that I planned.

- Well, if it makes
you feel better,

I think he's also
struggling with it.

Every time you look see you,

it's these eyes that are
clearly still in love.

- Yeah, there's
love for each other.

I'm sure of it.

Is that enough?

- Well, true love, doesn't
come around every day.

You know, love is one of the
most precious things on earth

and every love story is unique.

So who knows?

- Wise words Nola.
- Thank you.

- I hope you're
listening to yourself.

- Do you want us both
to get kicked out?

I hope Juliet doesn't hear you.

[both laughing]

[birds chirping]

- Did you get a chance to buy
your secret Santa gift yet?

- No, I will try
tomorrow morning.

How about you,
you have any luck?

- Yeah, I got mine.

- That must be a load off.

- Yes it is.

Hey, this will make you laugh.

I was chatting
with Morgan earlier

and she said, how you and
Nola look like an item.

[both laughing]

- An item, really?

- Funny right?

I think women try to read
too much into everything.

I let her know you were
an eternal bachelor.

- Think she'll tell Nola?

- I doubt it.

Why, would that bother you?

[gentle music]

Wait, do you have
feelings for Nola?

- I don't know what to do.

I've never felt like
this about anyone.

I mean, of course I want
to tell her of course,

but what if she is
not ready or worse,

what if she doesn't
feel the same?

Nah, nah, nah, nah,

I'd wait years if she would
take me as her husband.

- Marriage?

But I thought.

- What, that I would
choose to be a bachelor

for the rest of my life?

Why do you think I'm here,

to make ugly stockings with
you, growing old alone?

No.

I wasn't blessed to find
the one earlier in life.

I was happy waiting.

Because I knew true
love was worth it.

She's worth it.

And I would give up
the bachelor life

and dedicate every
day to loving her

if she would just

choose me.

[gentle music]

So yeah, I have
feelings for Nola.

[gentle music]

[fire crackling]

- Hey, I was looking for you.

You have a minute?

- What's up?

- So I spoke to David
and you were right.

I should know by now
that you're always right.

I didn't see it.

David is in love with Nola

but he's terrified
of telling her.

And there's only three days left

before they have to
wait a whole other year

to see each other.

- I don't know what
he's waiting for,

a light encouragement.

I know Nola feels the same.

[fire crackling]

- I would hate for them to
leave and never find out.

- Should we do something
to help in some way?

[fire crackling]

- What could we do?

I'm not sure we
should interfere.

- No, we probably shouldn't.

[fire crackling]

But we could set up an
opportunity for them.

I mean, it's nearly
impossible for them

to have any time romantically

with Juliet keeping such
a close eye on all of us.

[both laughing]

But if she wants us to fall in
love with the holidays again,

what better way than
helping two people

find true love at Christmas?

[fire crackling]

- Hey guys, we got some
fresh cookies in here.

- Thanks, we'll be right there.

- Also Juliet wants to remind us

for working on our
Secret Santa gifts.

- Thanks.

- Cool.

[fire crackling]

- I think I have an idea.

What could be a
better Christmas gift

than a perfect first date?

- It's a great idea, I would,

but my secret Santa isn't Nola.

- Well mine is.

Swap?

- Absolutely.

- Okay, so Morgan and I will
organize it all tomorrow.

So as to not raise suspicion.

- Thanks guys.

- I'm so excited.

Okay, let's get back downstairs

before Juliet calls out
a search party for us.

- Good call.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[gentle upbeat music]

So, she believed you?

- I told Juliet we were
going Secret Santa shopping,

which technically is not lie

because we are shopping
for Secret Santa.

Just not ours.

- Right.

- Right.

[both laughing]

[car engine revving]

Okay, we need to be efficient.

You get everything on
the top half of the list

and I'll start from the bottom.

- Yes, Ma'am.

Your idea of a horse
and carriage ride

around the park with a
picnic is quite romantic.

You must have been
disappointed with our dates.

- No.

Not at all.

Remember the time we had
to cancel our cabin weekend

because of the snowstorm.

I was so upset.

Remember how you threw
down pillows on the floor

and put up sheets
and we camped indoors

next to the fireplace.

- You didn't think it was crazy?

- No, I mean, I
knew you're crazy.

- Thanks.

[both laughing]

- But it was fun and romantic.

And it was nice to
have the comforts

of indoor plumbing and heat,
which I was very grateful for.

- That was a great night.

I have a confession.

- You do?

- I'm actually happier here.

Obviously, it was a bit
of a shock at first,

but it's nice having you around.

- Thanks.

- I guess we get one
more Christmas together.

[gentle upbeat music]

[both laughing]

[birds chirping]

Hey Sam.

- Hello.

- [Morgan] This is gorgeous.

- Oh, thanks.

- We've got everything
they need in the basket.

And I've got a big
blanket for them as well.

If you could just
heat up the cocoa

before you schedule arrival,
that would be perfect.

- Don't worry.

Everything will go
according to plan.

- Thank you so much.

This is gonna be the best
first Christmas date ever.

[both laughing]

- Do you have any other bookings

before this evening's
big extravaganza?

- No, we don't have
anything going.

- Could you squeeze in
the last minute ride?

- We sure could.

[gentle upbeat music]

- Thanks.

[horse neighing]

[horse hooves clopping]

- You want some too?

[Liam laughing]

[gentle music]

- We probably shouldn't
tell David and Nola

that we tried it
out before them.

- I hope she likes it.

- Of course you will.

It's the best gift ever.

Even I would like this.

- Oh really?

That's high praise
coming from the man

who is impossible to shop for.

- I'm not impossible.

When I like something, I buy it.

- 'Cause you have no patience.

And then you leave me with
absolutely nothing to get you.

- Why wait if I need
or like something?

- Because each gift has a
special memory attached to it.

- I don't need a
thing to remember

the special moments
we've shared together.

[horse hooves clopping]

Morgan, I think you should know
that I lied to you earlier.

Andy didn't bail
the last minute.

The trip was always for me.

I thought it might
help me get over you.

[laughing]

- I'm sorry, I'm
not laughing at you.

It's just the truth
is I came here

to try to get over you too.

[laughing]

- And has it worked?

[gentle music]

[horse neighing]

- Okay guys, this is your stop.

And don't worry, I'll be
ready with everything.

- Thank you so much.

[gentle music]

- And this Secret
Santa's for David.

- Oh, David sends his apologies,

but he's not feeling too well.

So he won't be able to
join us this evening.

- Oh, what a shame.

He seemed fine earlier.

We'll just leave it
for him for later.

Oh.

Oh.

This one's for you.

- Thank you.

[gentle music]

- I can't believe it.

Thank you whoever you are.

This is such a special gift.

My dad used to read a
letter from this book

to my sister and me,
every night at bedtime

leading up to Christmas.

It truly means so much.

- What a thoughtful gift.

Okay, who's next?

Nola.

Your turn.

- Thank you.

[all laughing]

- [David Voiceover] Merry
Christmas, my dear Nola.

Your gift waits for you outside.

From your secret admirer,
who has adored you for years,

please make an excuse to leave

and tell the group your
present is spa vouchers.

- [Juliet] Well,
we're all waiting.

What did you get?

- Spa vouchers.

- Oh.
- Oh.

I guess I have two.

- Oh lovely,

nice detox to look forward
to in the new year.

- Yeah, I'm gonna step
outside really quickly.

It's just, I need some
air, it's a little hot.

I will be right back.

- Lionel.

[all laughing]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- I actually should go
probably check on Nola

and make sure she's doing okay.

But you guys carry on.

- Oh, all right.

- Just carry on.

- Okay.

- Oh see, that's what
I'm talking about.

You guys know me so well.
- Ah, yeah.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Next one.

- Juliet.

Have you had a chance to try
some of Harry's chocolates yet?

I hear there's something else?

- Oh.

- Yes, did you know
we have over 70

different distinct chocolates?

- [Juliet] I did not know that.

- I brought a sample of them

as a token of appreciation
for your hospitality.

- How thoughtful.

- It's been a pleasure, love.

Have you tried dark chocolate
from the jungles of Guatemala?

- I have not.

- Oh, Guatemala.

- Darling, you haven't
lived until you've had

our exotic cacao brownies.

These are some of my
personal favorites.

For you.

[fire crackling]

[gentle music]

[cellphone ringing]

- Thank you.

[cellphone ringing]

- [Juliet] Very fancy.

- Oh, hey sorry guys.

I have to take this
really important work call

but enjoy the chocolates.

[all laughing]

[gentle upbeat music]

[Nola laughing]

- Hi Nola.

- Hi.

- Yeah.

This might come
as a shock to you.

If I told you my feelings for
you were completely platonic,

I'd be lying.

Truth is,

I am so in love with you.

[horse neighing]

I love you from the
moment we first met.

And I'm not trying to
pressure you or anything

but by chance you feel for me,
the way that I feel for you,

then promise me you won't
come back here next year.

Instead, next Christmas,
we spend together.

And every other day.

[gentle music]

[horse neighing]

- That is the most romantic
thing I have ever seen.

- I thought you never asked.

[gentle music]

- These are for you.

So yeah.
- What?

- Yeah.

[both laughing]

- How did you know?

- I just knew.

And it was obvious.

- Didn't you see the
way he looks at her?

Now they have each other.

- Looks like we don't make
such a bad team after all.

- You know what I
didn't you're right.

- I regret not planning more
things like this from us,

when we were together.

You always did so much for me.

My surprise birthday party,

organizing our trip to Europe.

You were always so much
better at it than I was.

- Well you were important to me

and I wanted you to feel that.

[gentle music]

- I did.

I'm sorry, I didn't
let you know.

[gentle music]

I wish I could have given
you what you needed.

[gentle music]

- It was never
about the wedding.

[gentle music]

It was about the commitment.

- Morgan.

Liam.

Nola.

[gentle upbeat music]

Darlings, where are you?

Come out, come out
wherever you are.

[gentle upbeat music]

- We should probably head back

and help cover for
David and Nola.

Let's do it.

[gentle music]

- It's just so nice
to see Nola and David

happy and together.

It's made this whole
trip worthwhile.

- Is that the only reason?

- What does that mean?

- You haven't mentioned
Liam this entire time

and now I'm worried.

- Why?

- Because it's what
you're not saying.

You should be ranting and raving

about how awful your ex is

and how happy you
are that it's over.

But I know that look Morg,

you aren't falling in love
with him again are you?

- What if I was too hard on him

about the whole marriage thing?

Was that really
enough to end it?

We were happy.

- No, Morgan don't
do this to yourself.

- It's been a long day.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

- Okay, well we'll
be home tomorrow,

and if you wanted to
leave a day earlier,

I would love to see you.

- Thanks sis, night.

- [Emma] Night.

[gentle music]

- Mind if I join you?

- Of course, sit.

- It's so cozy.

- As a child, my
father would make

a roaring fire every
night during the winter.

[gentle music]

I miss it.

- Sweet.

- You seem so much more
relaxed than before.

- I am.

This place is
definitely working.

- Getting your
holiday spirit back.

- I think so.

It's definitely better
than I initially expected.

What are you drinking?

- Oh, there's fresh Mulled
Wine in the kitchen.

- Oh, I'm gonna grab
a cup, do you need.

- No sit, let me.

- Such a gentleman.

- Of course.

[Morgan laughing]

Hey.

- Hey, how's it going?

- Good.

Heard from David that
there's fresh batch

of Mulled Wine in the kitchen.

- All yours.

- Are you enjoying it?

Your stay, I mean.

- Oh.

Yeah, it's getting
better every day.

- Morgan's amazing, isn't she?

- Yeah, she is.

- You two seem to get on well.

- She's hard not to like.

[Harry laughing]

- Tell me about it.

but you two aren't, you aren't?

- Aren't what?

Oh, you mean a thing?

No, no.

No, no.

No, we're just getting to know
each other, like we all are.

I'm getting to know
everyone in the group.

- Funny, Morgan told me she
has nothing in common with you,

but I could have sworn there
was something between you two.

I thought I was gonna have
to report you to Juliet.

- No, no, no.

- No, I came to a singles
retreat for a reason

to escape all that
relationship drama.

- That's good to know.

Enjoy your Mulled Wine.

- You as well.

[Harry laughing]

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

[Morgan laughing]

- What's so entertaining?

- Oh it's just one of the
letters for my Christmas book.

I can read the same one over
and over again and sill laugh.

They're so funny.

- Well, I'm glad you like it.

- Hey, I actually wanted to
speak to you about something.

- Oh?

- Last night got me thinking.

Are you still
searching for ideas

to expand your business
into the holiday market?

- Well, I've been
having so much fun here

that I haven't been thinking
about work, which is great.

But tomorrow I'm leaving

without having
accomplished my goal.

So yes, very much so.

Oh, why do you have something?

- Maybe.

If you don't mind me saying
your chocolate advent calendars,

don't stand out from the others.

What if the chocolate
enclosures doubled

as a placeholder for notes,
which the buyer wrote every day,

each note being
something they love

and that they're grateful for.

And then when the
chocolates are all gone,

they'll have 25 special
moments to read in one go.

It's beautiful for families,

but it's also perfect
for single people.

We'll get 25 sweet messages
to read on Christmas day.

The ad campaign
will tell consumers

that your company cares about
more than just selling candy.

You care about creating magic
memories during the holidays.

What do you think?

[gentle music]

- Wow.

That's amazing.

[Morgan laughing]

- You like it?

- No, I love it.

It's gonna be a big
success, I just know it.

[gentle music]

Thank you so much.

You're incredible,
you know that.

[gentle music]

- I am so pleased
that you like it.

I'm gonna go draft
up some mock slogans

for you to take a look at.

- Great.

- Okay, sounds good.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

Hey, I was looking for you.

- You were?

- Yeah.

I wanted to thank you
for the Christmas gift.

I knew it was from you.

- You did?

- Of course.

Don't you remember
our first date?

You're the only one
who would've known

those stories
about my childhood.

- I bought it as one of your
Christmas gifts this year,

but when we broke up, I
just couldn't throw it away.

I was hoping there'd be
some way to give it to you.

- Well, I guess this
trip brought us together

for some reason.

Including helping you with
whatever you're doing.

- I've been assigned by Juliet

to make Christmas crackers

and to fill 'em with corny
jokes for tonight's dinner.

- Well, I know you
won't have any trouble

with the corny jokes.

- Ho, ho, ho.

- But if you need a
hand making these.

- Yeah, I think I will actually.

[both laughing]

I'll take you up on that.

All right, pass me a card.

- Okay, here we go.

And funny joke, you're all set.

- [Morgan] Will you
pass me the cover.

- [Liam] Yeah, here you go.

Trying.

- Yeah.

[both laughing]

- [Liam] Joked.

Okay.

[both laughing]

- All right, well.
- All right.

That should be done, yeah.

[gentle upbeat music]

- [Morgan] All right,
that should about do it.

- Mission accomplished.

We should definitely do
this again next year.

- Yeah, we should.

[gentle music]

- Yeah, you'd want to?

You think you wanna
see me outside of here?

- Yes, yes I would.

[gentle music]

Okay, shall we?

- [Liam] We shall.

- One, two, three.

[cracker snapping]

[both laughing]

- You win this round.

[both laughing]

- Ah.
- Ooh.

- Ooh.

- Who knew there'd be a crown.

- Oh, okay, this is one
of the ones I wrote.

- Okay.

- Are you ready?

- Oh, yeah, born ready?

- It's really funny.

- I'll be the judge of that.

[both laughing]

- Where does Santa go to relax

after he delivers
all the presents?

- I don't know, an iceberg.

No, I give up.

- A ho, ho, hotel.

- That's not even a joke.

Mine are way better.

- Well, we'll have
to wait and see.

- Oh, I'm confident.

Here, you've won this.

I'll open this delicately

since you ripped so
many in the process.

- Why,

why thank you.
- Oh wow.

Oh.
- How do I look?

- [Liam] So regal.

So beautiful.

- Oh, hi guys.

- Hi.

- Oh, those crackers
are looking cracking.

- Yes they are.

- Do you think there's enough?

- I think there are plenty.

- Lovely.

- Morgan, I was hoping

we could speak
privately for a moment.

- Is everything okay?

- It's a delicate matter.

Liam, would you mind?

- Not a problem.

You're in trouble.

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

- Please.

I have never been in
this position before.

I made it crystal
clear at the beginning

that this program
is only for singles

and I would not tolerate dating

because it would
completely undermine

the purpose of the program.

[gentle music]

With this in mind,

and whilst it has been
a pleasure hosting you,

you have given me no option,

but to ask you to kindly pack
up your things and leave.

[gentle music]

- Leave?

[gentle music]

- Yes.

- What's happened to everybody?

[gentle music]

Cookies, I think I left
my cookies in the room.

Go grab the cookies.

[gentle music]

- The retreat is a sanctuary

for lonely people
to come together

and not feel the pressure
of relationships.

It's a safe space
where they don't have

loved-up couples
thrust in their faces.

We are not a sleazy
pickup joint.

We are here to value the
true meaning of Christmas

without depending on
someone else to enjoy it.

[birds chirping]

You have violated these rules.

- Juliet, I am so sorry,
I didn't tell you earlier.

I didn't know that he
was going to be here.

I tried not to have
feelings for him,

but just seeing him here,

it was was hard.

[gentle music]

- David and Nola,

I have come to know you both
as family over the years.

How did I not see
this happening?

- Five years.

[gentle music]

You've looked after us
both for five years,

made us feel welcome.

It's been a joy celebrating
the holidays with you.

But we found love.

And yes, we broke your rules.

And it was worth it.

Thank you, Juliet.

You brought us together.

[gentle music]

- Yes, well you
shouldn't have done it.

But if you have found true love,

then of course I
am happy for you.

- Thank you.

- [Juliet] But I still
need you both to go.

- Thank you, Juliet.

Take care.

- Juliet, I've really
enjoyed my time here.

But I think it's evident
that Morgan and I

have a chance at something
more than friendship.

- What?

No, we're just friends.

We're just friends.

- It's fine, darling, she
understands, she knows.

- I think it's
best that you leave

before the group
come down to dinner.

- Understood.

- Juliet, I never did anything
or felt anything for Harry.

I promise.

- Well, it didn't
look like that to me.

- No, you got it all wrong.

I actually had a
relationship here with,

but we're just friends

so we really haven't
broken any of your rules.

- Hold on.

Is there someone else here
that I need to ask to leave?

- No, no, of course
not, nevermind.

Thanks for everything, Juliet.

And Merry Christmas.

[gentle music]

[door knocking]

Liam?

- Hey, I thought we should talk,

work out where we go from here.

- Oh right.

Oh Harry, you didn't think

that there was something
between the two of us, did you?

- Isn't there?

Morgan, I would like to
take you up to dinner

now that the rules
don't apply to us.

- I'm sorry if I gave
you the wrong impression.

I really enjoy your company,

but I have feelings
for someone else.

[gentle music]

- Liam?

- What makes you say that?

- I was hoping it
wasn't the case,

but I've had the feeling

that there was something
between the two of you.

He's a lucky guy.

- Liam is my ex.

We broke up a few weeks ago.

But I'm just not sure if things

are really over
between the two of us.

Please don't tell Juliet,

I don't want him to
be forced to leave.

- Well, okay, but
Morgan, just be careful.

I spoke with him earlier
and he was very clear,

he was looking to escape
relationship drama.

- Really?

- Yes.

His words.

You are amazing.

I would hate to
see you get hurt.

- Thank you.

I hope I didn't
hurt your feelings.

- No, it's fine.

I'm okay.

- Hey Harry, before you go,

I know it's none of my business,

but I see the way
Juliet looks at you.

And I think you two would
make a great couple.

- Juliet?

You're kidding, she'd
never be interested.

- I can tell she's smitten.

- She runs a singles retreat.

- Well, she's looking for
love, just like everyone else.

She's just afraid
to get hurt again.

- I guess I thought I'd
never stand a chance.

- Trust me, I'm usually
right about these things.

[gentle music]

Merry Christmas, Harry.

- Merry Christmas.

[gentle music]

[door knocking]

- Liam.

[door knocking]

Liam, are you there?

- [Voicemail] Leave a message.

- Emma, I need to come over now.

I had to leave early, but
I'll explain when I get there.

[car engine revving]

[birds chirping]

- Liam, there you are.

Dinner's almost ready, so
we'll be sitting down soon.

- Okay great.

I'll just freshen up
and be down shortly.

Is Morgan upstairs?

- Actually, Morgan's
already checked out.

- She's left?

- Look, I didn't want the news
to affect the other guests,

but unfortunately
four of our friends

will not be joining us.

David and Nola are
in a relationship,

so they're gonna spend
Christmas together.

And Morgan and Harry

are also secretly
romantically involved.

It's very disappointing.

- There must be some mistake.

They aren't a couple.

- Well, when I
confronted her about it,

she said, and I quote, I
didn't want to have feelings,

but seeing him here, I
couldn't help not to.

But don't worry,
we won't let this

spoil our Christmas fun.

Tonight, we're gonna do
some more Christmas games

and then sing some
Christmas carols.

- I'm sorry, but I
won't be joining.

- [Juliet] Why not?

- I think my time
here is over too.

I need to head back home

and spend Christmas
with my roommate.

I'll go get my things.

- Oh no, no, Liam, please.

- Sorry, Juliet.

[gentle music]

- [Morgan Voiceover]
Dear Santa, this season

has been nothing I could
have ever imagined.

I was running away from
life, love and Christmas.

Fate showed me that I have
to face hardships front on.

You have to get back out there

and take a chance on love again,

that realization reignited
my Christmas spirit.

The holiday season reminds
us of our happiest memories

and brings us hope for
an ever better future.

Who would've thought that
what I really needed this year

was to be trapped in this
heartbreak, B&B with my ex Liam.

Juliet created this retreat

so that singles wouldn't
feel alone during Christmas.

And because of this
two wonderful people
found true love.

I pray you'll help Juliet
reopen her heart to romance.

As she's been using this
place as her crutch.

Please help her to
believe and love again.

Morgan.

[gentle music]

[door knocking]

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[gentle upbeat music]

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle music]

- Special delivery for Morgan.

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle music]

- It's from Harry.

"Thank you, Morgan, for your
kind words of encouragement.

"Juliet and I had
the most amazing date

"and we're spending
Christmas together.

"I can't wait to start on
the marketing campaign.

"See you soon, Harry."

- That was so sweet of him.

- Yeah, so thoughtful.

- Although I know it's not

from who you were
hoping you would be.

Come on, let's go open
some more of your presents.

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle music]

[birds chirping]

[gentle music]

[keboard keys clacking]

[birds chirping]

- You've been deliberately
avoiding this.

Why?

- Because I know
it's from Morgan.

David, let it slip, he had
my name before they swapped.

And I'm not really sure
if I need another reminder

of my ex right now.

- Dude, just get over yourself.

It's probably just on socks.

Open it.

Come on.

[gentle music]

- [Morgan Voiceover] Thank
you for keeping our secret.

When you first showed up.

- Well don't leave me hanging.

What do they say?

- All right.

- This one says,

"Thank you for
inspiring an ad campaign

"for Harry's business.

"I always thought you found
these handwritten notes lame.

"I didn't realize how
much they meant to you.

"Showing me how much the
little things mattered,

"inspired me and me
have saved my career."

- Now that sounds
like she loves you.

[gentle music]

- [Morgan Voiceover]
I've saved the last note

as the most important
message of all.

I never stopped loving you.

And I never will.

Wherever life takes you,

I hope it's filled with
love and happiness.

Merry Christmas, Liam.
- Well.

What are you gonna do?

- I'm a mess without her.

- I can definitely
vouch for that.

[Andy laughing]

Look, you're your best
self when you're with her.

You'd be a fool to let her go.

- You're right.

You're right.

[gentle music]

[people speaking indistinctly]

- Guys Santa's here.

- What Santa?

- Well, there's a
sleigh, but no reindeer.

- I think she just had a bit
too much hot chocolate today.

- I think you should
go look outside.

- [Woman] Coming.

- [Girl] Let's go.

[people speaking indistinctly]

[gentle music]

- Liam.

What are you doing here?

- I had to see you.

You left without saying goodbye

and I thought you
left with Harry.

- Harry, no Juliet
got it all wrong.

- I know.

- I went to look for you,
but you weren't there.

- I had a good reason.

[gentle music]

Morgan, I love you.

I fell in love with you
the moment I first saw you.

You were the best thing
that ever happened to me,

but I let my insecurities
get the best of me.

I'm sorry for that.

I left yesterday
because I had to go

on a very important
shopping trip.

[gentle music]

[Morgan laughing]

Morgan, will you make me the
happiest man in the world?

- Yes, of course.
