AFC Newbourne, Paul.

They're lookin'
more organized here.

Savoy.

Oh, he takes it down the
boots with such ease.

It's lovely to watch.

He's got a bit of
trouble coming here.

Go!

Oh!

Look at that footwork!

- [Sports Announcer] And
it's no problem for Savoy.

Brilliant!

Hey, to me, to me.

Over to your teacher!

Yeah!

Patty, you open?

- [Sports Announcer] Oh,
that's a lovely ball.

An excellent first touch,

and it looks like...

Is he gonna go for it?

- Guys, over to
you! Take your shot.

- [Sports Announcer] Oh, he's
created a real chance here!

Savoy!

[Georgia] Goal!

- [Sports Announcer]
And it's a goal!

Absolutely sensational!
(crowd cheering)

(whistle shrilling)
(kids cheering)

Great game, everybody.

Let's go to the mat.
That was incredible.

Incredible soccer.

Hey, Ania, come sit with us.

Let's go.

Okay, everybody, can I let
you in on a little secret?

- Yes.
- Sure.

- You have to promise to
listen very carefully.

I talked to Santa.

- [Child] What?
(children gasping)

- I know, I know
it's a big deal,

and he told me that this
year he's so swamped

that he wants my help getting
some of his gifts to you.

Is that okay?

[Children] Yeah.

- Okay then.
- Yeah, cool.

- Now, this next part
is very, very important.

You can't open these until
Christmas morning, okay?

Got it, Miss B.

Okay.

Now, can anybody tell me

what you're most excited
about for Christmas?

Santa.

Rudolph.

Miss B, what about you?

- (gasps) Well, I'm
excited because this year

I'm going all the way
to London, England

to visit my little
sister for Christmas.

Harry Styles lives there.

Yes, he does.

Nice one, Piper.

Oh, everybody,

it's officially Christmas
break Brinker Bears.

[Children] Yay!

[Georgia] Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Come on!

(bright holiday music)

- [Sports Announcer]
Savoy looks like

he's in a lot of pain there.

Team physio just taking
a look at that knee,

but when people go down like
that with that much pain,

it's rarely good news.

Spence?

- Next time I catch
you watching this,

I'm throwin' it in the Thames.

- If I'd been a
split second quicker.

Yeah, they'd have missed you

and collided into
each other, I know.

Look, I promised you
I'd ask you this.

Will you please
consider goin' out

with a girl from our office?

- It's too hard to
date when I'm playing.

Especially when I'm recovering.

- Right, well, have you given
any more thought to next year?

As your manager I'll need
an answer after Christmas.

Endorsement deals depend on
it for contract renewals.

I don't know what to do, mate.

It's not just me.

What about the fans,
my family, the team?

I can't imagine not playing,

but I also know I
can't play forever.

- Word of advice,
from your friend,

you're the only one who can
decide when you're done.

- I do want to win the
Champions League with Newbourne,

and I can come back from this.

- Well, you're not
25 anymore, mate.

It's not gonna be
as easy this time.

At some point all
this is gonna go away

and you need to be okay.

Your family needs to know
you're gonna be okay.

I get a call from Lynn every
other day asking for updates.

- Told my mum to
stop doing that.

- (chuckles) Look, Jill
and I are taking the kids

to visit the folks
in Birmingham.

I suggest you do the same.

- I don't think Jill
would appreciate that.

(chuckles) Rest.

Enjoy Christmas with
your family for once

and really think about what
you're asking of yourself.

Then you can tell me
your decision, right?

Merry Christmas, mate.

Happy Christmas.

(engine whooshing)
(bright holiday music)

(Lizzie laughs)

Hi.

(Lizzie squeals)
(Georgia squeals)

I can't believe
you're finally here!

- I can't believe
you live in a flat

and take the tube and say
things like lorry and lift.

- Your baby sister is
all grown up (laughs).

I can see that.

Is that all you brought?

- Well, why over
pack when I can raid

your cool London closet.

Not happening.

It's absolutely happening.

You brought the
peanut butter, right?

Yes Ma'am, two jars.

- Good, it tastes
different over here.

We need ours or Mom's
cookies won't be perfect.

What about Mom's stocking?

Dad's bringing it.

Hm.

We should remind him.

You're reliable but
Dad on the other hand-

I will text him right now.

(text whooshing)

(Georgia laughs)
(Lizzie laughs)

Stocking's on the way.

Perfect. Thank you.

Oh, you'll never guess

what showed up as a memory
on my phone yesterday.

What?

♪ Merry Christmas

♪ Oh, yeah

Remember (laughs)?

Our dance was incredible.

Yeah, because you forced me

to practice it until
it was perfect.

It was worth it.

I mean, we did win
Best Sibling Dance Duo

at the Christmas
talent show that year.

I'm pretty sure that's only

because mom volunteered

to head the Easter
Egg Hunt Committee

an hour before they
announced the winners.

Wait, is that true?

Oh.

Yeah, sweetie.

(Georgia chuckles)
(Lizzie gasps)

(patrons chattering)
(bright holiday music)

- Hey.
- Hey.

It's good to see you.

On the house.

Happy Christmas.

It's good to see you, young man.

Thanks, Mary. You too.

Boys are no good without you.

- Mary!
- I'm coming.

(man yells indistinctly)

[Mary] I'm coming.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

So, uh, thanks for the call.

You've been a bit
elusive lately.

How are things?

How's the, uh, how's the knee?

It's great, actually.

We're starting against
Tottenham next week.

Oh, I wish you were.

- Me too. Is your
work good then?

- You know, investment
banking has its perks.

I rarely get body slammed
and, uh, I can dine

without strangers
takin' my picture.

Must be nice.

- (chuckles) Come on,
you love your life.

You're literally
living the dream.

Look at you.

You have a job that doesn't
consume everything you do,

a woman you adore,

and if you have a bad
hair day, nobody cares.

Eh, I care.

- (chuckles) You
don't have to wonder

if people in your
life are genuine,

or if they want
something from you.

Women are only interested in me

because I'm the
captain of Newbourne.

They don't care who I really am.

Yeah.

Uh, I'm just having a day.

Enough of my pity party.

Tell me something
good about you.

- Um, okay, but you have to
promise not to tell anybody.

I'm going to propose at,
(Graham spits)

Christmas.

(Graham chuckles)
(Henry chuckles)

- That's a big step.
- Yeah.

You ready for that?

- Look, I know you're not
exactly around all that often,

but I'm telling you because
I've never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

Wow.

My little brother's
getting married.

- I don't need your approval,
but I would like your support.

She's a great girl.

If you're confident
now is the right time,

that's all that matters,
and I'm here for you.

Cheers.

Cheers.

(glasses clinking)

- I'll get my best man
speech ready, shall I?

(Graham chuckles)
(Henry chuckles)

(bright music)

(gasps) It's so cute in here.

It's a little messy but cute.

What's with the sad empty tree?

Oh, I was waiting for you.

Every year for my entire life

we've decorated
the tree together.

It's tradition.

Also, I don't have
any ornaments.

- Right.
(Lizzie laughs)

Are you sure
Henry's okay staying

at his parents while I'm here?

Oh, it was his idea.

He said he wanted us to have
our sister bonding time.

Look, my Christmas
Pinterest board.

- Wow, you are
really goin' for it.

Yeah, I have to.

It's necessary
for my to-do list,

which I just sent to you
along with our itinerary.

We've been working so
much, I'm a little behind.

Well, a lot behind.

- Well, good thing
I'm here to help.

Oh yes, thank you.

You are going to
love the Carters.

You'll meet them at brunch.

I just want everything to go
well and everyone to get along.

Oh, it will. We will.

(Lizzie chuckles)

"Wrapping paper, ribbon, tape."

Wait, what are
Christmas crackers?

Are those like crackers
with Santa's face on them?

- I don't actually know, I
was just told to get them.

Henry's mom said there must have

for a traditional
English Christmas.

Then we must get them.

- Mm-hm.
- Mm-hm.

- I figure in the
morning we'll head

to the market so you
can see all the shops.

Then we can tag in the list.

Sounds like a plan.

Missed you.

I missed you too.

(Georgia chuckles)
(bright holiday music)

(bright holiday music continues)

(Georgia chuckles)

So beautiful.

[Lizzie] I know.

I have news.

Remember how I told
you that I applied

to the University of Indiana?

Well, I finally
heard back from them

and I got into their
Occupational Therapy Program

- with a scholarship.
- Oh, stop it. For real?

- Mm hm.
- Oh, I bet Dad's buzzing.

I'm so proud of you.

- Actually, I
haven't told him yet.

Why not?

I thought Indiana was
your first choice.

- For my master's
programs it is.

I just, I need to make sure
that that's still what I want,

and Dad would be crushed

if he knew that I got
in and I wasn't going.

Well, why wouldn't you go?

- Well, a few weeks ago
my principal nominated me

for this other program
called SED Abroad,

and it's kind of a big deal.

She can only nominate
one person a year

and I'm waiting to
hear if I got accepted.

- But what about
your scholarship?

- Well, if I got
into SED Abroad,

I would literally be
paid to travel the world

and teach special education.

Isn't that what you do now?

- Except for the
traveling the world part.

That does sound really cool,

but we both know you were
going to wind up in Indiana.

You always make the reliable
and responsible choice.

- I haven't always
had the choice not to.

(bright music)

(bright music continues)
(shoppers chattering)

Graham Savoy fan, are we?

- Yeah, he's like
my favorite player.

Mine, too.

Can you keep a secret?

He's my eldest.

[Customer] No way.

Oh, way (chuckles).

I'll tell you what,
you get that jumper

and I'll throw in a Newbourne
Santa hat as a gift.

Are you sure?

Oh yes, I'm sure, my dear.

My store, my rules.

That's awesome.

But wait a minute,

how do I know that you
are actually his mum?

Please don't do it. Please.

♪ Graham

How's work going by the way?

Uh...

You museum curator yet?

Not even close.

Well, everything takes time,

and look at what you
have accomplished.

You work at the
Museum of Britain.

It's what you moved to London
for in the first place.

Yeah, no, it's true.

I'm learning so much
and don't get me wrong,

my boss Marnie asks a lot
of me, but in a good way.

She wants me to succeed
and she trusts me too.

- Well, don't let
this go to your head,

but I'm very proud of you.

Really?

Yeah.

Thanks, Sissy.

(gentle music)

- [Georgia and Lizzie] This
would look better on you.

(Georgia laughs)
(Lizzie laughs)

Hiya.

- Oh my god, you're
like my actual hero.

Oh, that's so nice. Thank you.

Let's take a photo.

Here, gimme your phone.

Come on, I'll do it (giggles).

All right. Now, big smiles.

Lovely.

Oh, my dear.

Oh, you're going to
love it (chuckles).

Now don't forget,

tag Lynn's Christmas
Shop when you post.

Mum?

Happy Christmas.

Thank you so, so much.

Merry Christmas.

This is like, the best
day of my life (laughs).

(bright holiday music)
(bystanders chattering)

- If we want any hope of
carrying out our tradition,

we have to get you
some ornaments.

Pretty.

(phone ringing)

It's my boss.

(phone beeps)

Hi, Marnie.

Uh huh.

Yep.

Okay, I'll, I'll be
there as soon as I can.

I have to head into work.

I'm sorry.

- Aren't you supposed
to be off this week?

- Marnie uses that
phrase liberally.

- Well, is there anything
I can do to help?

Thank you, but no.

Why don't you go and explore

and I'll meet you back at
the flat in a few hours.

- Of course. Go,
I'll see you soon.

(soft music)

It's lovely, isn't it?

- It, it reminds me of one
that my mom used to have.

We lost it in a move years ago,

and I never thought I'd
see one like it again.

- This artist had a
very unique style.

Only made a handful of them.

It's yours if you like.

(gentle music)

Thank you.

I love it.

(crowd cheering)
(shutters clicking)

Sorry, love. (laughs)

Good luck.

♪ Oh, captain

♪ Oh, captain

[Customer] How's the knee?

Getting better every day.

Thanks, everyone. Go Newbourne!

(crowd cheering)
(Graham cheering)

(girls squealing)

- Come and get
your t-shirts here,

especially made for Christmas
and it's for his non-profit.

(light holiday music)

(Graham sighs)

(Georgia gasps)
(Graham gasps)

- Oh!
- Watch where you're going.

You walked into me.

Oh no!

- Forgive me. Let me
buy you another, please.

Unfortunately you can't.

It's just...

It, it was the last one.

Oh gosh, I'm a mess.

- Can I at least help
you get cleaned up?

Offer you a towel or something?

I live nearby.

Well, my parents do.

How far away exactly?

Five minute walk.

I swear I don't bite,

and I'm genuinely very
sorry for the spill.

(gentle music)

Sure.

I'm Georgia, by the way.

It's usually this is the part

where you respond
with your name.

That's funny.

[Georgia] What's funny?

You're serious?

What do you, want me to guess?

I'm Graham.

Like the cracker.

Like the cracker.

(Georgia chuckles)

So, what brings you
to Notting Hill?

- Celebrating Christmas
with my little sister.

We haven't missed one
together since we were kids.

Here we are.

[Georgia] Whoa.

(gentle music)

(Georgia gasps)
(gentle music continues)

Uh, right this way.

Oh.

So, what happened to your leg?

Um, my leg?

- Well, I noticed you
limping back there.

- I, uh, tore my ACL
playing football.

Or as you Americans incorrectly
like to say, soccer.

(chuckles) You play?

Not at the moment.

- Well, I tore my ACL playing
soccer back in high school.

You play?

- No, not anymore.
I miss it, though.

You know, I used to dream
about having a jersey

with my name on it (chuckles).

Oh, well.

- Perhaps you and I
should play some time.

Football, that is.

I wish.

The itinerary my sister
gave me pretty much

has me booked
through the new year.

Right.

Also, your knee.

Right.

(phone vibrates)
(phone chimes)

(text whooshing)
(keyboard keys clacking)

I forgot, I have an appointment.

And I should probably...

Right.

Yeah.

(gentle music)

Bye.

Bye.

(gentle music continues)

(door clicks)

(Georgia sighs)
(gentle music continues)

Just do it.

(music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)

(bright holiday music)

- We have to leave for
brunch in two minutes!

I'm ready.

Hey, don't be nervous.

(Georgia inhales)

(Georgia exhales)
(Lizzie exhales)

(Lizzie giggles)

(bright holiday music)

(patrons chattering)

Hello.

Lizzie.

- Oh, hey babe.
- Hey.

- Georgia, this is
my boyfriend, Henry.

So nice to finally meet you.

Nice.

Georgia, this is everyone.

Everyone, this is Georgia.

- Hello, Georgia.
- Hi, Georgia.

- This is my Mum and Dad,
Lynn and Archie Carter.

Pleased to meet you.

Welcome.

- It's my Aunt Sarina
and baby cousin, Ella.

I'm 10!

My apologies.

Sit beside me, Lizzie.

- And this is Howard,
the actor of the family.

I love your necklace.

Thank you.

Thank you all for having me.

It's so nice to
finally meet you.

It's our pleasure.

Now, Lizzie tells me this is
your first visit to London.

Guilty.

(all chuckling)

- Well, Christmas is the
spectacular time to be here.

There's so much
to do and to see.

Do you like football?

- I'll have to see if we
can get you to a game.

Although, our favorite team is
rather lacking at the moment.

- (chuckles) Yeah.
- Hm.

Really missing our star striker.

Where is your brother?

- Uh, he should be
here. I'll text him.

- So Georgia, tell us
all about yourself.

Favorite hobbies,

favorite Christmas
traditions, food allergies?

Mum!

What? What?

She's Lizzie's sister.

I want to get to know
her and so should you.

So, are you single?

(all chuckling)

Very, very.

And my hobbies are pretty
slim at the moment.

I could work on that,
but teaching's my life.

- Yeah, clever girl.
(phone chimes)

A career woman is
a passionate one.

As usual, he's not coming.

Ha! Pay up.

(Archie groans)

What?

Wait, you bet on my first born
not attending family brunch?

- I make my money
when I can. Thank you.

(laughs) Unbelievable.

- Do you remember
when I bet Henry-

And you bet me.

But it worked.

Thankfully, yes.

I embarrassed myself
so badly that day.

So did I.

(Henry laughs)
(Lizzie laughs)

I'm sure Lizzie's told you,

but I was the former
Egyptian antiquities curator

at the museum, and when
Lizzie was interning,

I thought it might be
fun to set these two up.

- He bet both of us
to talk to the other,

but he left out the fact that
he knew who each of us were.

Archie also recommended
me for my current job,

so I basically have him
to thank for everything.

So, now I'm retired.

I live vicariously through
our Lizzie (chuckles).

(bright holiday music)

- Henry's family
seems to love you.

I didn't realize
how close you were.

How come I don't
know more about them?

You know about them.

- Well, not like
they know about you.

You will.

Trust me, you'll love them
by the end of the trip.

(phone ringing)

Hey, honey.

Hey look, I'm so sorry
I couldn't make it over

with your sister, but
work has been nuts.

- Hi, Dad.
- Oh, hey.

Good, you're both there.

I got a very important
question for you guys.

Just hold on.

Dad?

(soft island music)

- I thought we said no
Hawaiian shirts this year.

Did we? I don't remember.

So, which should I choose?

[Georgia and Lizzie] Neither.

- (laughs) Okay,
I'll bring both,

and your mom's stocking, okay?

I love you.

Can't wait to see you girls.

(phone chimes)

(Lizzie chuckles)

- Do you think
Dad will like him?

Since when do you care

if dad likes one
of your boyfriends?

I've always cared.

- (laughs) I don't
seem to recall

you caring when he highly
disapproved of Tristan,

or Jess, or Dean.

Uh, okay.

Point taken.

I don't know. This one,
he's, he's different.

- I haven't seen you this
smitten since you were 15

and in love with Ryan Reynolds.

- I swore I was gonna
marry him someday.

- It's too bad that Blake
beat you to the punch.

(Lizzie laughs)
(upbeat music)

- You know how Dad describes
seeing Mom for the first time?

- The Christmas tree
lighting ceremony

in Bloomington
their freshman year?

- The canopy of Christmas
lights illuminated her

like a halo.

And he knew she was the one.

It feels like that with Henry.

I'd do anything to ask Mom

what that moment
was like for her.

You're lucky.

How do you figure?

You got more time with her.

(upbeat holiday music)

(Lizzie laughs)

Did you do that?

You?

- No.
- Oh, we have to.

- Oo, the David
Archuleta version.

Okay, microphones.

Where's Lizzie today?

- Uh, shopping and
sightseeing with her sister.

Thanks for coming.

- You're welcome.
How about this one?

Eh, it's all right.

So, how are you doing?

- Did Mum ask you to
check on me? Excuse me?

- She said you've been
in a bit of a mood.

For what it's worth,
I think you can be.

You've got some big
decisions to make.

We don't have to talk
about it, but it's me.

- I don't know
what I'm gonna do.

- You'll know when
the timing's right.

- Thank you. I hope
you're right (chuckles).

I usually am.

(gentle music)

That's it.

That's the one.

(Henry chuckles)
(Graham chuckles)

Have you seen my badge?

I'm so sorry, but I have
to go into work again.

I saw it on the coat rack.

Aw, you're the best!

Also, I need a favor.

We're running outta time and
there's still a few things

to pick up from the to-do list.

Would you mind getting
the Christmas crackers

and whatever else is left?

- Yeah, don't worry,
I'll take care of it.

Thank you. I won't too long.

Also, don't forget, we have
the pantomime this afternoon.

Bye.

The what?

(light music)

Thanks for this, Graham.

Do you mind keeping this safe?

- Oh, yeah.
- Appreciate it.

- Sure.
- Gotta go.

- No worries.
(phone ringing)

(phone beeps)

- [Spencer] All
right, it's Spencer.

You're lucky it's Christmas
and people are cheerful.

I rearranged your "Guardian"
interview to 1:30.

Graham? I'm glad you're
spending time with family.

(gentle music)

(car horn honking)
(gentle music continues)

(gentle music continues)
(patrons chattering)

(car horn honking)

- [Graham] Excuse
me? Georgia, right?

Yes. Graham like the cracker.

Hi.

Are you busy right now?

I could, uh, buy you another
cup of hot chocolate.

(chuckles) You're still trying

to make up for that ornament?

You caught me.

- Well, thank you so
much for the offer,

but I was just
about to head out.

Oh.

Oh, no, not like that.

Please, please, take a seat.

I have firm instructions

to pick up these
special British crackers

with Santa's face on
them for my sister.

Christmas crackers.

Yes.

- I almost hate to
break it to you,

but Christmas crackers
are not crackers

with Santa's face on.

They're party poppers.

Party poppers?

- It's a noisy,
explosive tube filled

with a tissue paper hat,
small toy and a bad joke.

It's a Christmas
staple in the UK.

- Do you know where I can
get said party poppers?

- I know just the
place. Come on.

- Oh (chuckles), you
don't have to do that.

I'm heading that way anyway.

Oh.

(suspenseful music)

Excuse me?

I believe it's yours.

(chuckles) Thank you.

I don't know what I would've
done if I had lost this.

Thank you, seriously.

Happy Christmas.

- (chuckles) The way
the girls look at you,

it's like you put them
in some sort of trance

and it was not just the barista.

Other people were staring too.

- I just, uh, have
that effect on people.

Oh.

So, who's the jewelry
for, your girlfriend?

- No.
- Hm.

It's actually for my brother

to give to his
soon to be fiance.

Plot twist.

- Which I now realize I wasn't
supposed to tell anyone,

so maybe just keep
that to yourself.

Who am I gonna tell?

I don't know your brother
or his girlfriend.

Go Newbourne!

What does "Go Newbourne" mean?

Oh, it's a football chant.

The morale round here is
very community driven.

So, uh, what do
you do back home?

- I'm a special
education teacher.

What's that like?

- Humbling, stimulating,
all consuming.

I love it, and I adore my kids.

My mom's also a teacher, so
I'm following in her footsteps,

carrying on the tradition.

Sounds fulfilling.

It is.

Can I ask you a question?

Is it a trick question?

No, I'm just curious

since you're more or
less a complete stranger.

Given the opportunity to do
something great but predictable,

or risky but potentially
life-changing, what would you do?

- You sure this isn't
a trick question?

I don't know why I asked
you that, I'm sorry.

I'm kind of at a
crossroads in my life

and I'm trying to figure
out what to do next.

I've just always done
what's expected of me

and I don't know if that's

because it's what I
actually wanna do,

or if I'm just scared
to do anything else.

And that probably
makes no sense to you.

No.

It actually makes
a lot of sense.

I'm at a bit of a
crossroads in my life, too.

- Um, I think some random
dude is following us.

I'll take care of it.

You need to leave.

Yeah, no worries, mate.

(dramatic music)

He won't bother us again.

(boys chattering)

Thank you.

So, any other siblings?

Uh, just my younger brother.

- Oh, so we're both the
older and wiser ones?

I don't know about that.

My brother seems to
have it all figured out,

whereas I don't.

- (chuckles) Sounds
like my sister and I.

So, what do you do for work?

- Uh-
(phone ringing)

Oh.

Excuse me.

One second.
(phone beeps)

Hi. You okay?

- [Lizzie] I'm
still stuck at work,

so Henry's going to pick
you up for the pantomime.

It's a British tradition,
you'll love it.

- Okay, sounds good.
I'll see you then.

I love you, Graham Savoy!

Who are you?

(dramatic music)

(Georgia sighs)

Georgia, wait.

I don't get it.

Why did you lie to me?

- Technically, I
didn't lie to you.

I just omitted my career.

I didn't tell you who I was

because everybody
always knows who I am.

You didn't seem to know

and I wanted to see
what that felt like.

I never get to be just Graham.

I always have to
be Graham Savoy.

It's exhausting having
to be on all the time,

especially now since
my knee hates me

and I'm dealing
with that pressure.

You have no idea what it's like

to have people wanting
things from you all the time.

- Everyone has
pressure and issues.

Yours might be under
a bigger microscope,

but you're not the only person
who feels like they have

to put up a wall to
protect themselves.

- I hadn't thought
about it like that.

(playful music)

(Leah gasps)

Keep up the good work.

Can you sign my boots, please?

Sure thing.

What's your name, sweetheart?

Leah.

Like Leah Williamson?

Captain of the Lionesses.

That's right.

Happy Christmas, Leah.

Mr. Savoy, thank you so much

and happy Christmas to you.

Happy Christmas.

(gentle music)

I have to go.

Um, thank you for your help.

And it was nice meeting you.

Likewise.

Good luck with everything.

You too.

Goodbye, Graham.

[Graham] Goodbye, Georgia.

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)
(birds chirping)

(horn honking)
(engine rumbling)

- So, this pantomime
we're going to

is a Carter family tradition?

Yeah.

It's this show that families
attend at Christmas,

but this year is a
bit more special.

My cousin Howard, you
met him at brunch,

he is making his
debut as the dame.

The dame? Hm.

Oh, right, it's...

Imagine if "The Rocky Horror
Picture Show" had a baby

with a Disney movie and half
the cast was dressed in drag.

Fantastic.

- Yeah, it's brilliant.
It's a total blast.

I can't wait.

So, did Lizzie tell you

we were picking Secret
Santa after the show?

She didn't.

- My advice is get
in and get out.

Mum takes it way too seriously

and redraw if you
pull on Sarina.

- Just trust me.
- Oh.

Duly noted.

So, you and my sister
are pretty serious?

Well, yeah, I'd say so.

Why, did she say something?

Relax, Henry.

Nothing to worry about.

(Henry chuckles)

So, tell me, what's your
deepest, darkest secret?

(dramatic music)

You're joking (chuckles)?

Well, uh, for the record, I
am terrified of marshmallows.

They look too much
like the Michelin Man.

Really?

Oh, you're joking.

(Henry laughs)

Touche.

Yeah.

(all chattering)

[Lizzie] Hi, everyone!

- I'm so sorry I'm late.
- Oh, Lizzie.

Here they are.

Show them.

Okay, come on, let's go.

(all laughing)

(upbeat holiday music)

It's happening!

(upbeat music)
(audience cheering)

- [Howard] Ladies and
gentlemen, welcome to the show!

(audience cheering)

♪ Jingle bells, jingle
bells, jingle all the way ♪

♪ Oh, what fun it is to ride

♪ On a one horse open sleigh

Oh, all right. Do you
wanna see some more?

(all cheering)

Oh!

(indistinct)

(all clamoring)

(all laughing)
(upbeat holiday music)

One, two, three, four, five.

(Georgia cheering)
(audience cheering)

(audience applauding)
(music continues)

♪ Jingle bells,
jingle all the way ♪

Encore, encore, encore!

(audience cheering)
(audience applauding)

Woo!

- [Woman] You were
absolutely incredible, bravo.

- So sorry, I just
need to borrow him.

Hey, Georgia, let me
introduce you to my brother.

Graham, this is Lizzie's
sister, Georgia.

(people chattering)

Oh.

Georgia, was it?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, Georgia is my name, yep.

Right.

- (squeals) So glad
you're finally meeting.

Great to see you, Graham.

You too, Lizzie.

Can you help me out?

I'm trying to flip the camera,
but it just won't work.

Oh, yeah, I'm happy to.

You both love soccer.

Football.

Take that up with her.

Come on.

Um.

- Out of all the
professional soccer players

in this country you had
to be Henry's brother?

- Technically, he's
my half brother.

Same mum, different dad.

I'm familiar with the concept.

Secret Santa, my dears.

[Georgia] Oh.

Archie, what are you doing?

You know you have vertigo.

We're making a TikTok.

(Lynn laughs)
(Georgia chuckles)

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Your brother is my
sister's boyfriend,

which means he's gonna propose.

Sh, sh, sh.

We're all headed to the pub.

Are you good?

- Mm-hm.

Yeah.

Okay, let's go, guys.

Okay.

Yeah, I agree.

(all chattering)
(gentle music)

- Well, this isn't
awkward at all.

No, not at all.

So your brother and my sister?

Apparently.

- Well, at least we
can bond over the fact

that our significantly
younger siblings

are gonna get
married before we do.

Yeah.

Not me and you.

You know, me as an individual
and you as an individual.

Right. Thanks for clarifying.

In all seriousness though,
I do like Lizzie for Henry.

They're really great together.

I've honestly never seen
two people more compatible.

Really?

It's hard to explain.

The more time you spend with
them, the more it makes sense.

(gentle music)
(bystanders chattering)

(upbeat holiday music)

- You don't get one
now, you don't get one.

- How come you didn't tell
me who Henry's brother is?

What do you mean, I did?

- You said that he played
football professionally.

You didn't say he
was like, famous.

I don't know.

I guess I don't
see him that way.

To me he's always been
Henry's older brother

who comes around every so often

and is always really nice to me.

Did Henry happen mention
anything to you about proposing?

Oh, no.

No.

- I feel like he's going to
propose, but I don't know.

What do you think?

Darts? Loser buys next round?

Georgia?

- Uh, are you sure
you're ready for that?

Yes.

- Well, it's a huge lifelong
decision and you're very young.

This is your first
serious relationship.

There's no reason to rush it.

I love him.

- Why didn't you tell me how
serious you and Henry are?

(darts thudding)
(upbeat holiday music)

I figured by inviting you

to spend Christmas with his
family you'd get the hint.

Why aren't you being supportive?

I'm being practical.

[Customer] Go on, Graham.

- I think you're better at
footy than you are darts.

(men chuckling)

- How long have you been
dating, eight months?

I don't need your judgment.

I'm ready.

If you can't see that,

then maybe you don't know me
as well as I thought you did.

Maybe I don't.

(Georgia gasps)
(chair thuds)

(patrons chattering)

Um.

I'll be right back.

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

Hey, you all right?

(gentle music)

(horn honking)

(Georgia sniffles)

You all right?

- (sighs) Yeah, I just
needed some fresh air.

- Tell you what, I need
some fresh air too.

Come sit with me.

(gentle music)

It's true.

We really don't know each
other like we used to,

and it's entirely my fault.

Hey, how can you say that?

- Because I'm the one who
moved halfway across the world.

Come here.

Hey.

- It's just
complicated between us.

After my mom passed away,

I helped my dad raise
her and I even went

to community college so
I could stay close by

and help her
through high school.

And I know I'm overprotective,

but it just feels like it's
my duty to take care of her.

- We lost my dad
when I was a boy.

It's life-changing.

Something's ingrained in us

to keep the memory
alive however we can,

to follow in their footsteps,
take care of their people.

I'm sorry about your mum.

I'm sorry about your dad.

How old were you?

10.

It's a long time ago,
but it still hurts.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

I just didn't realize how
much I missed of her life,

and how much she missed of mine.

I get it.

You do?

I can't remember the last time

I spent longer than a couple

of hours at Christmas
with my family.

I'm usually
traveling or training

or prepping for a
match on Boxing Day.

The only reason I'm even able

to be here tonight is
because I am injured.

Even now, I still have to
be at rehab, do extra media.

- Yeah, but you live
in the same city.

- My point is just because we
don't see the people we love

as often as we like, doesn't
mean we love them any less.

(gentle music)

- I should, um,
probably go find Lizzie.

Yeah. It's, uh, probably best.

(gentle music)

(Georgia sighs)

(gentle music)

(door creaking)

I didn't see anything.

(gentle music continues)

(Georgia chuckles)
(music fades)

(soft holiday music)

(soft holiday music continues)

That's inside out.

- I know how to put
on a duvet cover.

Okay, but it's inside out.

(phone chimes)
(phone vibrates)

Dad's landing in an hour.

Why don't I just go meet him

since you've not
had breakfast yet.

Okay.

But whatever this is between us,

we should figure it out.

(gentle music)

- My mates and I just started
a nonprofit footy club

for underprivileged
kids in the area,

and since I'll be here,

I'll be able to be
a bit more hands on,

which I'm excited about.

We're really wanting
to provide now outlet

for kids who might not
otherwise have the access.

Ho, ho, ho.

- Merry Christmas!
- Dad?

- [Lizzie] Just put the presents
in the living room, Dad.

- (chuckles) I think I
might've overdone it.

Can you help?

- Oh!
- Oh, Dad!

God, it is so good to see you!

Oh, hello, honey.

Welcome to my flat.

Let me show you to your room.

[Michael] Okay.

(gift rattling)
(playful music)

(Lizzie chuckles)

Oh, this is nice.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

I can't wait to
show you everything,

and for you to meet
Henry and the Carters.

Also, I thought

maybe I could swing
you by the museum

so you can see where I work.

- I would love nothing
more, my little lizard.

I am so proud of you for
following your dreams.

Who would've thought
my kid working

in the Museum of Britain?

I know, it's crazy, right?

I brag about you all the time.

Oh!

- I wish your mom could
be here to see all this.

Yeah, me too.

- Should we go and
put her stocking up?

(gentle holiday music)

Oh, both my girls together.

I miss this.

Oh.

Well, you know, I
just have to lie down.

- [Lizzie] No, Dad, you have
to stay awake, it's too early.

- I don't know what time
it is and I don't care.

- Well, just in case you
don't reappear again today,

tomorrow morning,
Henry's mum, Lynn,

has invited us to a
traditional Christmas bake.

- Okay, why don't you guys go
and then when you come back,

I will be rested and
ready for sightseeing?

Goodnight girls.

(gentle, music)

(gentle music continues)

- So-

I'm sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I just feel like I've
missed so much of your life

since you moved and it
took me by surprise.

We used to be so close.

We still are, aren't we?

- Well, I had no idea how close
you were to Henry's family,

and when I heard
that you were ready

to get married, I panicked.

How can I not know
that my baby sister

is ready to get married?

- Well, to be fair, I didn't
exactly give you a heads up.

[Georgia] Why?

- I was worried
what you'd think.

You're my favorite
person in the world.

You practically raised
me and I trust you

and value your opinions
more than anybody.

I was scared.

I thought you'd be more likely

to approve if you saw
us together first.

- The only thing I care
about is that you're happy,

and that he treats you well,

and that he knows

that I'm your favorite
person in the world.

(laughs) Hey.

(sighs) Well, I don't
even know if he's going

to propose this year anyway.

One second I have no
doubt that he's going to,

and then the next, I
feel like there's no way.

I don't know, maybe
he's not ready.

Maybe I'm not.

Don't overthink it. Come here.

I am sorry for being distant.

Literally and metaphorically.

- There's no need to apologize
for living your best life.

I'm happy for you.

We're just gonna have
to work a little harder

on staying in touch, that's all.

- Especially if you're going
to be traveling the globe.

That's TBD.

I think you should do it.

I added something
to your pros list.

I saw it on the chair.

(gentle music)

Once in a lifetime experience.

- Indiana will always
be there for you.

And if there's
anybody who deserves

a once in a lifetime
opportunity, it's you.

- So, if I get in
and that's a big if,

you think I should do it?

Yeah (chuckles).

Hey (laughs).

(soft holiday music)

Morning.

How are we doing today, Graham?

Well,

(Graham groans)

I'd be a lot better if I was
out playing with the team.

- You're definitely healing
slower than last time,

which is to be expected.

I would've liked to see
you a little further on

in your recovery by now.

- When do you think
I can be back? Ow!

When that stops bothering you.

Give it to me straight.

At least eight more months.

August?

No, that's already the
start of next season.

I can't clear you

unless it's safe for
you to play, Graham.

Look, I'm not saying
it won't be earlier,

it's just what my
gut is telling me.

(soft music)

(Dr. Parker sighs)

Going for the festive tape?

Well, if not now when?

Look, take a beat and
enjoy your holiday.

Perhaps it'll give
you some clarity.

Thank you, Dr. Parker.

(gentle music)

- Now go ahead and
crack those eggs.

Oh, no, just the yolks, dear.

That's what makes the
custard so nice and thick.

And Georgia, why don't you
go and melt us some butter?

Ah.

- I have baked before
I swear (chuckles).

(chuckles) Let me help you.

Now, the trick is you want
to start with cold eggs.

Okay.

It helps with the separation,

and then crack it carefully

and just filter out
the egg whites like so.

So clever.

- And then pop the
yolk into a bowl.

Oh, fetch me an
empty bowl, please.

Thank you.

Voila. Now, why
don't you have a go?

Okay (chuckles).

(eggs cracking)

- Oo, good.
(Lizzie laughs)

- Yes.
- Like that?

Yes.

Perfect.

(Lynn laughs)
(Lizzie laughs)

Mm, mm.

Delicious.

And there you have it.

Traditional Christmas
trifle and minced meat pies.

Oh, I almost forgot.

A silver coin?

- Mm-hm.

It's said that whoever
finds the silver coin

in their piece of
Christmas pudding

will have good luck and wealth
for the forthcoming year.

I like that tradition.

- Apparently it dates
back to the 13th century.

Ooh.

- How's your father adjusting
to the time difference?

Well, he's still sleeping.

Oh, well, good.

A proper sleep is
just what he needs.

Oh, this is so
much fun (laughs).

Now, don't tell the boys,
but I've always wanted girls.

(all chuckling)

(dramatic music)

I got into SED Abroad.

I guess I have a
decision to make.

- Oh, awesome!
- Well done.

Exciting!

(Georgia laughs)

(gentle holiday music)

- [Michael] Early
Christmas present, girls.

- Oh Dad, you didn't leave
any for the other tourists.

Well, you snooze, you lose.

(Georgia laughs)
(upbeat holiday music)

♪ Santa's coming down

Hello, London!

Wow!

♪ Sleigh bells ringing

♪ Sleigh bells ringing

I've always wanted to do this.

Come on, girls, keep up.

[Lizzie] Okay.

- Now, make sure you
get my good side.

[Georgia] What is that?

It's Billy's Circus, look.

(all laughing)

[Lizzie] The Ritz!

We could have afternoon tea.

[Michael] Merry Christmas.

Cheers, governor.

(all laughing)

Roar.

[Michael] Roar!

(girls laughing)

Cheerio!

(girls giggling)

Thank you, London!

(music fades)

(train tooting)

- [Archie] Choo-choo!

(all chuckling)

- Hi, I'm here.
What's the emergency?

(throat clears)

- [Archie] Well, you
told me to get him here.

Your mother just wants a word.

(Graham sighs)

How was your appointment
with Dr. Parker this morning?

How did you...

Spencer.

You must stop calling him.

- But you haven't
been communicative.

What did she say?

Nothing new.

- Have you given
any more thought

to what you're going to do?

I'm worried about you.

Your career has been
truly exceptional

and we're so proud of you.

You know that.

But your personal
life has struggled.

I mean, you've given
up so much life

to be the footballer you are.

Maybe it's not such a bad idea

to figure out what your
next chapter looks like.

Maybe.

We just want you to be happy.

Your father would, too.

I feel him when I play.

It's like he's there
with me in the stands,

cheering me on on the field.

I'm worried that
when I stop playing,

I will lose my
connection to him.

Football and
Newbourne specifically

is the one thing
we've always had,

even after he was gone.

- On the field or off,
he'll always be with you.

Do you remember this?

Yeah (chuckles).

- I believe it
was Christmas Eve.

It was absolutely freezing
and I couldn't get you

or your father to come inside.

"Five more minutes,
five more minutes."

It was never five minutes.

(chuckles) It was not.

- I would do anything to have
five more minutes with him.

I know, sweetheart.

Oh, me too.

Time for happiness is now.

Don't wait.

Oh, come on and give
your old mother a hug.

(Graham chuckles)
(gentle music)

- Are you sure you
don't wanna come with?

No, you guys go. Bond.

Enjoy your first date with
Henry and your father.

- Dad?
- Hm?

Don't be too hard on him.

No promises.

- [Lizzie] Okay, well,
enjoy your first date

with the spiciest
chicken in all of London.

Fine.

(bright music)

Mm. (gasps)

I deserve a medal for that.

(Georgia exhales)

(phone ringing)

(phone beeps)

Hello.

Oh, hi, Georgia.

It's Graham.

Henry gave me your number.

Any chance that you're
available for a mini adventure?

I'd like to show you something.

(Georgia sighs)

This is my favorite
place in the world.

No peeking.

(gentle music)

(Georgia gasps)

No way!

(Georgia gasping)

I, I can't believe
you play here.

Sometimes I can't either.

(Georgia gasping)

- You must have worked
so hard for all of this.

You have no idea.

Tell me more.

Turned pro at 16.

But it's not always as
glamorous as it seems.

I know I'm closer to
the end of my career

than the beginning,

but I don't know if
I'm ready for that yet.

And the pressure to come
back is excruciating,

for myself, fans,

my dad.

It was his dream for me to win

the Champions League
with Newbourne.

When he died, his
dream became mine.

What do you want?

I don't want to retire.

I do wanna go out on my terms.

It'd be a shame.

I've never even seen you play.

I don't even know
if you're good.

I'm good.

(Georgia chuckles)

You can't be afraid

of who you'll be if
you don't come back.

But you also can't be afraid
of who you'll be if you do.

- So, you gonna
show me your moves?

For real?

For real.

Okay.

Have you got a ball?

(upbeat music)

- You ready?
- Ready.

(gentle upbeat music)

[Georgia] Yes!

Georgia, Georgia, Georgia!

(Georgia giggles)
(upbeat music)

- [Graham and
Georgia] Good game.

(gentle upbeat music continues)

(gentle upbeat music continues)

(gentle upbeat music continues)

(gentle upbeat music continues)

(bright holiday music)

(door clicking)

Hi, Dad.

Hey, nice night?

- Mm-hm. Did you more or less
behave yourself at dinner?

- With great strength comes
great reward, my firstborn.

(Georgia chuckles)

She seems happy.

Hey, we should find
you a nice boy.

Maybe you'll need a boy at
IU during your OT program.

Or maybe not.

You sworn off dating?

- I just meant I may not
be at Indiana next year.

What?

Did you not get in?

I can make a call.

- No, I did, which is
fantastic, obviously.

But I also got into
another program.

It's called SED Abroad

and I would be a traveling
special education teacher.

I'd get to work with kids
from all over the world.

(thoughtful music)

Dad, you're not saying anything.

- That sounds
phenomenal (chuckles).

You're not disappointed?

No, honey.

I want you to be happy and if
this SED Abroad opportunity

is gonna make ya happy,
then you have to go.

"The world is your
oyster," as they say.

Now, I don't know who
they are, but it's true.

(Georgia chuckles)

(bright holiday music)

Dad, not yet.

Ow, hot, hot!

She warned you.

Oh.

Mm. (chuckles).

(Georgia chuckles)

You know, baking peanut
butter Christmas cookies

on the morning of Christmas Eve

was always your mom's favorite.

- We'd beg for a
breakfast cookie.

She'd say no in front of you

and give us one when
you left the room.

(Michael chuckles)

I wish she was here.

Oh.

- She would be so
proud of both of you.

I know I am.

Oh, Dad.

(Georgia sighs)

Okay, I need to go

and run these to
Henry's parents' house.

Dad, why don't you go and change
before we head to the pub?

I don't need to change.

- I thought we said no
Hawaiian shirt this year.

- [Lizzie] Mm-hm.

Did we?

I don't remember.

(Lizzie scoffs)

I thought you said, "Don't
forget your Hawaiian shirt."

(playful music)

Oh, holy mackerel.

This is amazing.

- (chuckles) Oh,
happy Christmas Eve.

So nice to finally
meet you, Mr. Bright.

Michael, please.

This is my husband, Archie.

- How do you do?
Nice to meet you.

Let me take your coat.

Oh, thank you.

Wow. Dashing.

Thank you.

- I love it. Where
can I get one?

Hawaii.

- Ah. What would
you like to drink?

I'll come with you.

Care to join, Henry?

Oh, I'm all right.

Oh, come on, Henry.

- If you sou say so,
Sir, Mr. Bright. (laughs)

We'll hold down the fort.

So, uh, where's Graham today?

- Oh, he said he'd
meet up with us later.

Cool, cool, cool, cool.

- Oh, Georgia, your necklace
is trying to escape.

Oh, thank you so much.

I can't lose this,
but it's so old,

the clasp sometimes
has mind of its own.

- Let me help you.
- Well, thank you.

(people chattering)

Right, now have you ever been

to a winter carnival?

(upbeat holiday music)

♪ Oh, it's that time of year

Look at the reindeer!

Oh, it's magical.

Nice to see everyone.

I have a very special crown
for a very special girl.

- Aw.
- Aw, that's so sweet.

Ella.

(all laughing)

And a few more for the
other very special ladies.

Oh.

Oh, actually.

- (throat clears) What
about me and your mum?

(all laughing)

- Dad, uh, this is
Henry's brother, Graham.

- Oh, the Roy Kent of
Newbourne. (laughs)

- Dad spent the whole
flight watching "Ted Lasso."

- Yeah, I just wanted to
make sure I was prepared.

- Well, that's
exactly what it's like

to play professional football.

- Your coach is an
American football coach

turned soccer coach?

Football.

- Soccer coach with
no prior experience?

Who bakes biscuits and
makes motivational signs,

is heavy on the folksy charm

and still doesn't
know what offside is?

Precisely, minus the mustache.

- Michael, I'm
feeling quite peckish.

Can you join me for a bite?

Oh, I could eat. I'm starving.

- We're going to the
carnival games there.

Graham, Georgia, wanna join us?

[Graham] Yeah. Georgia?

♪ We're going to
Santa's grotto ♪

- Everyone, let's meet
right back here in an hour.

- Perfect.
- Enjoy.

(people chattering)

So, SED Abroad?

Did you decide?

I just have to send the email.

(squeals) Do it, now.

(squeals) It's official!

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

- So I asked Lizzie's
dad for permission

to marry her (chuckles).

And?

- Well, he, um,
he shook my hand,

pat me on the back and,
uh, just walked away.

So, you tell me.

Sounds like a yes to me.

(Henry chuckles)

- I just have to figure
out how to do it.

- Well, you could put
it in her stocking

or Christmas cracker.

That's a bit meh.

- Well, too bad you didn't
get her for Secret Santa.

That's genius.

Who did you get?

Aunt Sarina.

Oh, come on, no one's
gonna swap with me.

Hold that thought.

I need your help with something.

(upbeat music)

I can get you Aunt Sarina.

No can do.

What about my dad?

I love that man. Sure.

I have Georgia.

I'm happy to trade, but
I don't know Howard.

Hear me out.

I'll trade you for Georgia,

but I give you the
gift to give to Howard.

I have Graham.

- I can't get you Archie,
but I can get you Henry.

Aunt Sarina has Lizzie.

I told her I could
get her Henry.

- No, I just traded you
for Henry to Howard.

You traded me?

Focus.

(upbeat music)

- How 'bout Lynn
instead of Henry?

And next year I'll make
sure you get first pick.

And the year after?

Deal.

(both sighing)

I think we did it.

Those kids owe us.

(gentle music)
(bystanders chattering)

(gentle music continues)

(bright holiday music)

- Thank you for helping
getting everything switched.

Oh, you're welcome.

Don't worry. She
loves you a lot.

(Henry chuckles)

- So, what are the bright
Christmas Eve traditions

that are upon us?

- Uh, we have Christmas
peanut butter cookies,

Christmas carols
around the fire.

Is there a go to song?

"Deck the Halls." (chuckles)

It's a classic.

It was our mom's favorite.

It's been a tradition
since before I was born.

- Thank you so much.
- Of course.

Yeah.

(Georgia sighs)

(dramatic music)

Here you go.

I hear he's been wandering
around the festival tonight

with his new gal.

Football star, Graham Savoy.

If you're lucky you might
be able to get an autograph.

(Georgia chuckles)
(dramatic music)

Has anyone seen the two boys?

Look what we won?

(Archie laughing)
(Michael laughing)

- No, that is not
coming home with us.

No, it is for you.

Oh, well, thank you, Michael.

- You're welcome.
- I shall treasure it forever.

(Michael chuckles)

Right then, should we go home?

Somebody has to get
a good night's sleep

before Santa's visit.

- [Archie and
Michael] Ho, ho, ho.

- Happy Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

- Not happy.
- Merry Christmas.

- It's happy!
- It's Merry Christmas.

(Archie laughs)
(Michael laughs)

(bright holiday music)
(bystanders chattering)

You okay?

- Mm-hm, yeah.

Hey.

See you tomorrow, Graham.

See you tomorrow.

Don't forget, Rudolph
likes the baby carrots.

Comment likes the big ones.

Exactly.

Oh, my necklace.

My necklace is gone.

- Are you sure
you wore it today?

Yes.

I can help you look.

No, I'm fine.

Want me to come with you?

- No, no, I don't wanna
make everyone else late

for Christmas Eve.

I'll be fine.

Just go ahead to
Lynn and Archie's.

Get out the Christmas cookies.

Yeah, I'll be right behind you.

- I'm gonna stay
and help her look.

Thank you.

Georgia?

I said I don't need your help.

- I don't understand,
did I do something wrong?

No way! You're Graham Savoy.

Oh, what would you like?

- It's on the house.
- I'm good, thanks.

Georgia-

- Could you sign
this for me, please?

It's not exactly a good time.

- It's for my nephew.
He's a huge fan.

(dramatic music)

Smashing (chuckles).

- [Graham] Do you
mind if I take this?

Oh sure.

Hey, happy Christmas Mr. Savoy.

Georgia! You know I can't run.

Is this why you're upset?

It's not a big deal.

- I'm upset because I lost my
great-grandmother's necklace

that my mother passed down to me

the Christmas before she died.

And because I foolishly fell

for a famous soccer star.

Who, oh, by the way,

has a brother who's about
to get engaged to my sister.

This, you and me,
was never gonna work.

It was selfish and dumb,

and it was a huge mistake.

(gasps) Oh my gosh.

It's at the pub. I
had it at the pub.

Can I at least take you?

- Go back to your
mom's. I'm fine.

Georgia?

- Can I get a quick shot,
Graham? Cheers, mate.

(light holiday music)
(singer vocalizing)

Sorry (gasping).

- You look awful.
What's wrong, doll?

- Has anybody turned
in a necklace?

Looks like this.

Oh.

Well, let's have a look.

(Georgia sniffling)
(gentle music)

Oh, sorry, hun, I don't think...

Oh, how about a
compass necklace?

(Georgia whimpers)

Tell old Mary
what's on your mind.

- I don't know what
I'm doing with my life,

and I just made a
really massive decision

with, without really
thinking it through.

Oh. You need a drink.

(Georgia sobs)

I think you have a visitor.

Cut him some slack.

Deep down he's a
really good one.

(patrons chattering)

Hey.

Can we talk?

This isn't real.

I know, I know.

But it has a point.

It's a tabloid.

It doesn't have feelings.

What are we doing?

- You can't this
stuff seriously.

It doesn't mean anything.

This happens to me all the time.

- Exactly. Exactly,
that's my point.

We are two completely
different people

with completely different lives.

I live in America.

You live in London.

You're a famous football
player and I'm a teacher.

It just doesn't matter how
much I like you or you like me.

- I'm not great at
this, so bear with me.

I care about you, Georgia.

You're funny, smart,

and brave.

I don't know what
the future holds,

but I do know you're the
first girl who's treated me

like a person in a
really long time.

You get me.

I've always been
so scared to retire

because I never saw
a life past football.

You made me realize
that there could be.

(gentle music)

What about Henry and Lizzie?

What about them?

- They're getting
engaged in the morning.

What if we try
dating or something,

and it doesn't work out?

It's not like we can just
never see each other again.

Yes?

What if it does?

You can't be afraid of what
could happen if it doesn't,

but you also can't be afraid

of what could happen if it does,

or something like that.

Did you just quote me to me?

- Try not to let the
fame go to your head.

How 'bout we start by
finding your necklace?

No, it's not here.

I already asked Mary,
so let's just go.

- You think this is how
I win championships?

Give me two minutes.

(people chattering)

Hi, everyone.

What are you doing?

- Hope you're enjoying
your Christmas Eve.

Sorry to interrupt.

My lovely friend here
has lost a necklace

that is very important to her,

and we think it's
somewhere in this pub.

Can you please help us look?

it's Christmas Eve?
