Original subtitles

It's my sister.

Previously on Holidazed.

She's going to be spending the holidays with us.

- Lucy! - Sylvie!

The gift drive has always been me and Max.

Maybe it might be nice to have a little extra help this year.

Didn't you need that window fixed at your house.

If you two don't stop,

that A rating on the door is going to turn into an R.

That's amazing.

It's very important you're remembering...

Hmm.

[loud thud noise]

- Ah! - Ah!

Sylvie.

[sighs]

You scared me.

What were you gonna do, hang the intruder's coat?

Well, what are you doing?

Why are you moving my lights?

Annie and I always put those ones on the bookcase.

Oh. Yeah but then it was all Hanukkah over there

and Christmas over here.

Now watch.

Crismukkah!

Look, Sylvie. If you are gonna stay here for the holidays,

we are gonna have to set some boundaries,

because we're not kids anymore.

You can't just move my things around whenever you want

or hang all over people that I work with.

Wait, you think I was hitting on Cole?

No, I just think you two looked... awfully cozy.

Drinking wine by the fire.

Did you forget I'm dating Christophe?

Body of a Greek God and more money than Zeus.

I just don't want him to feel uncomfortable.

Luce, I don't think he was uncomfortable.

In fact, I think he'd like to be more comfortable here

hanging out here with you.

You would notice that, you know,

if you weren't always in work mode.

But I can help with that.

No, I don't need your help with Cole.

Or anything else. What I need is sleep.

So please just no more fixing.

No more fixing.

[sighs] Thank you.

- Goodnight. - Goodnight.

♪

The Hindu Kush?

Mmhmm.

In Afghanistan? What was that like?

Uh, exciting and terrifying.

So... Christophe and I were ice trucking.

Suddenly... we hear this huge noise.

Like... like an 18-wheeler coming down the mountain.

And your heart stops because you know the only thing that loud

is an avalanche.

O-M-G.

We ducked into a cave

seconds before the snow would've crushed us.

And then we were just stuck in there,

no idea if anyone would find us.

What did you do?

Well, thankfully Christophe had a backpack of caviar and vodka,

so... we just... that kept us busy until,

uh, the Sherpas found us.

We got really lucky.

That's so romantic.

How come you aren't spending Christmas with Christophe?

Well, actually, uh...

I told him that I didn't wanna spend the holidays together

again until we moved on to our next phase.

You mean like getting married?

[laughs]

Yeah. If I'm gonna have a family of my own,

you know, before it's too late, I gotta get a move on.

He's probably already shopping for a ring to surprise you.

Yeah maybe.

Anyway, I told him he needed an answer before New Years,

when we're supposed to go to Machu Picchu.

Give him a chance to miss me over the holidays

and gives me a chance to spend it with you guys.

So what is going on with you and this Max guy?

We've been friends forever and...

I don't know. Suddenly there's this new girl.

Stephanie Gisondi.

Oh. What's she got?

Superior DNA and a social media following.

My mom already told me if he doesn't see how special I am

he's not worth my time.

Your mom is right about that.

But, um... sometimes it takes boys a little longer to notice

what's right in front of them.

So what do you do?

Give them a little nudge.

♪

So, how's it having your sister home for the holidays?

Well, she's been home for one day and she's already decided

that my decorations need a makeover.

Classic trade-off, holidays and family.

With them there's always drama

but without them it's kinda empty.

I'm afraid we have a problem.

Hallway is six inches too narrow.

How is that a health violation?

Can't fit a stretcher in there if somebody collapses.

What if we promise not to kill anyone with our scones?

You have until the end of the year to widen it

or you're looking at a shutdown.

How is that possible?

Nobody is working over the holidays.

I don't make the rules, ma'am.

Are those oatmeal sandies?

Yes! Gluten free.

No thanks. If I'm gonna have a cookie I'd rather enjoy it.

What are we gonna do?

We have to call Cole obviously.

I just had him fix the window at the house.

I don't wanna seem needy.

Except this time you actually do need him.

Why is everything in here the color of regurgitated oatmeal?

Mom likes organic fibers.

No. No.

But oh... What I would give for even a print.

What's this?

What's what?

Joy box.

All of Joy's favorite things. Lucy kept them after all.

Whoa. Everything in here is so...

Bold.

[laughing]

You know, if you want someone, like say your friend Max,

to notice you're gonna have to tap into your Woods wild side.

[laughs] Oh really?

Oh. This is so groovy.

Okay. This is you. This is it.

You think I can pull this off?

Absolutely. With, uh... some chandelier earrings.

There's gotta be some in here. Feel around.

Is that a menorah?

Yes. It's made up of all of Joy's favorite things.

Your mom and I worked in secret for days to surprise her.

She loved it.

It's so cool.

Our Hanukkah celebrations were epic.

Joy loved a party.

She was all about the light that wouldn't go out

so we would sing and dance and just jam all night.

We just watch holiday movies all night.

Oh.

Hold on. This is the recipe for Joy Bars.

The most delicious treat you will ever have.

It's chocolate and caramel and nuts

and coconut and Rice Krispies and... oh...

She would make them every holiday

and we just could not stop eating them.

Your mom especially.

[laughing]

They sound amazing, like the opposite of what Mom would bake.

I think that we are gonna get a little more joy in this house.

Cole's on his way to give us an estimate.

Great. But I still don't know where we're gonna get the money.

Business always picks up during the holiday rush, so...

Would it be possible to buy

half a spinach brownie, to test it?

I may have Celiacs.

Sure.

Good morning!

I didn't know you were stopping by...

on your way to a holiday party at the Kardashians?

Oh, not likely. This Dolce is last season.

And since when do I need a reservation here?

I am a partner in this bakery. Remember?

Uh, hi. You must be Janet.

Reminder, you are a micro investor, thus a silent partner.

I'm not saying anything.

The Joy Bars recipe.

You've gotta sell them at the bakery. Right?

Doesn't exactly fit in with the Woods Bakery brand.

All bakeries have their specialties. Okay?

Magnolia has the cupcake.

La Durée has the macaron.

[imitating French accent] McDonald's has the McFlurry.

And Woods Bakery could have Joy Bars.

Plus it's our holiday tradition.

And it would really boost holiday sales

if you made the place more festive.

It's festive.

Yeah. Yeah, it's festive.

Like a holding cell is festive.

Tell us what you really think.

I know I'm a silent partner but I should have some input.

Right?

Hey.

Cole! Hi.

Got here as fast as I could.

You made it sound like the bakery's

about to get hit by an asteroid or something.

What's going on?

No helping. You promised.

Come on Cole, I'll show you.

- Hi Janet. - Mmhmm.

Spill.

Cole's gonna give us an estimate

to fix a health code violation.

But it's an exercise in futility

‘cause we don't have any money for a renovation.

Or anything really.

Happy New Year.

And she said she didn't need my help.

Ugh.

Hey everyone.

Hey Annie.

Hold up. Is that vintage?

Yeah. It is.

Did you get it on DePop?

It was my Nana's.

That's so fire.

Yeah. She was.

So the only real problem is the hallway

but I don't wanna cut into the kitchen.

Right, well look. The... the...

what they're pointing out here...

Why does she act like he's got a forcefield around him?

It's been going on this way for months.

They circle each other like praying mantises

but as soon as they get close... [inhales sharply]...

one of them spooks.

Drop your napkin. Oh for God's sakes, lean in.

Make physical contact.

Girl, I'd settle for eye contact.

Ugh. It's too painful to watch.

Mmhmm.

So... how are things going over here?

Cole, I hope you're giving my sister a good deal.

I'm trying.

Uh, look... I'm... I'm happy to work for free.

Please, you don't have to.

No, no. Let the man talk.

But for this job I'm gonna need an assistant.

Add in the materials to deal with the code and...

Don't worry about it, really.

I mean, you have done so much for me already.

I could never ask you.

Ooh! But I could... ask... you to barter.

Uh, Lucy can pay you in favors.

Favors?

Flavors. Uh, we could name a cupcake after Cole.

Oh.

Yeah, the activated char-Cole. A lump-shaped cupcake.

It's the perfect stocking stuffer

for all the naughty customers.

And we could put your logo

and your contact information on the napkin.

All the revenue goes to paying down your fees.

You know, free marketing. Boom.

You'll have to excuse my sister,

her enthusiasm can be a little pressure-y.

Fortunately I can take the heat.

Deal.

If it's okay with you.

Of course it's okay with her.

In fact, I was thinking that to help save costs,

Lucy could be your assistant.

And then I could, you know, manage the bakery. Right?

Win, win, win?

Even better.

Alright look, I'll grab what we need

and then, uh, we can get started, partner.

I gotcha. Thanks!

You're welcome.

Um... thanks.

- [car honking] - Bye guys, gotta go.

Hey Mom.

Hey. How was your day?

And, um... what is this outfit?

Aunt Sylvie and I found this in the Joy box.

It has so much cool stuff in it. Mom, why didn't I know about it?

Because it's from the past.

I was just... I was preserving a memory.

None of that stuff was ever meant to be worn again.

Why not?

She was my Nana and I hardly know anything about her.

But Sylvie told me that she was brave and fun and fascinating.

Well, your aunt has selective amnesia.

Whatever. My friends liked my shirt dress and so do I.

Aunt Sylvie says I have Joy's spirit.

Well Aunt Sylvie also said that was a shirt dress.

And it is just a shirt.

[sighs]

I really wish I could help you but, uh,

we're just way too busy.

Two dozen almond butter cookies doesn't meet

our $500 holiday minimum.

What? Give me that phone!

Sylvie. Sylvie!

I know that that's more than you were, you know,

wanting to spend but, um, Woods' goods freeze beautifully.

No, no, no.

Uh huh.

Give it to me. Sylvie.

Great! I'll put you down.

Thanks.

Booked another one?

What do you think you're doing?

Basic supply and demand.

People want treats they can't have.

No, that was... that's just manipulative.

No, that's literally the definition of sales.

I also think that you're manipulating Annie too.

Manipulating?

Yeah, you're propping Joy up

like she's some kind of role model.

No! No.

I'm helping Annie to explore her individuality.

Express yourself. To quote Madonna.

Another great role model.

Doesn't she look happy?

Yeah, I mean... she does seem happy.

If you let me in I could help with the bakery too.

It might be nice to have an upgrade.

I'm just saying.

What would you even do?

Just a small holiday makeover.

You know, look, it needs a little zhuzhing.

While you and Cole are renovating the back,

Janet and I will spruce up the front.

Okay. Fine.

As long as it's just a little sprucing.

Just a little.

Okay. We'll just take it right to that wall.

Thank you.

Thanks.

[laughing]

See how we gift wrapped the tables like presents?

Yes!

And the bows on the back of the chairs, that was Annie's idea.

Oh, but the window display... all Janet.

I am a genius with snowmen, so...

[laughing]

Wait. Where'd that come from?

Ooh! I rented that. And look at the playlist.

ABBA. Blondie.

Fleetwood Mac. It's all Joy's favorites.

Do you like it, Mom?

I love it.

How's it going with tool-belt guy?

It's good, uh, we'll be done by tomorrow.

I'm not talking about construction.

Okay, fine.

Even if I did wanna get out of the work zone though,

I mean, what do I do?

Just go back there and have a conversation

about anything other than drywall.

Yeah.

Yes.

I can do that.

Mmhmm.

Okay.

I can absolutely do that.

Hey. Uh... could you hand me the, um, plastic thingy?

Cute toy. You like toys?

It's a stud finder.

Well, why would you need that?

Uh, well you gotta find the stud

so you can screw into the right place.

Ah, here's one.

[knocks]

Great.

Yeah.

So are we gonna drill now?

Oh yeah, it's my favorite part.

Oh...

Do you wanna get a drink?

I'm good. I got my trusty water bottle right there.

No, like... a drink, drink.

Holiday cheer.

After work.

No biggie, just...

A cocktail with seasonal ingredients

muddled by a mixologist.

Nutmeg perhaps.

Poinsettia.

I would love to have a muddled cocktail with you.

Cool.

I still can't believe I just did it and it worked.

And now you will dazzle him with your après-work persona.

It's a sin to stifle your curls, as Mom would say.

I just never thought I looked good with curly hair.

I mean, maybe I just thought curls belonged to Joy.

They belong to you too.

Now, let me at that face.

Nope. This is not a makeover montage.

I let you do my hair, that's it.

Why do you hurt me?

I just wanna look like myself.

Okay. Well, will you... here.

At least try my amazing lip plumper.

My lips are just fine the way they are.

But they could be fuller and more pillowy.

Hmm. No.

It's in there if you need it.

[sighs]

Wow.

You're gonna wear those shoes?

It's either this or sneakers or snow boots.

Besides, they're metallic, for evening.

Yeah, good for evening.

On the other hand, so are these.

Mom's old shoes.

You're right.

They, uh... they make the outfit.

And now something to dazzle him with

as he gazes at you from across the table.

No. I am dazzling enough with my wit,

my intellect and my winning personality.

Yes, but a little sparkle never hurts.

It was a thank you gift from the Countess of Luxembourg

who believed that every spirited woman

needed her own contingency plan.

And by contingency plan she just meant serious cash.

I can't.

You must.

The winter margarita's delicious.

I think it's the egg white that makes it so smooth.

A perfect holiday cocktail.

Yeah. And practically a health drink.

Right.

That necklace is beautiful.

It's, uh... it's Sylvie's.

She insisted that I borrow it for tonight.

You're lucky to be so close with your sister.

We were actually closer when we were kids.

Everything changed after my mom died.

Oh. I'm sorry.

It was, um... it was a while ago.

She was... she was in a car accident when we were teenagers.

She was off on one of her adventures.

That' must've been tough.

Yeah.

So... tell me about you. Any sibling drama?

Only child.

Oh.

I mean, it got kinda lonely.

But, uh, that's when I started building things.

Model airplanes.

A treehouse, you know, no girls allowed.

[laughs]

I would've killed for sibling drama.

And I would've killed for less.

[laughs]

You get used to being on your own, you know.

But lately I've been thinking I'm ready for a change.

Me too.

I'll be right back. Excuse me.

- [Sylvie and Annie laughing] - This is gonna be great!

Alright. Let's get baking.

Are you sure it's okay to be here?

Yeah, of course.

I think your mom is going to be thrilled.

This is just the holiday surprise she needs.

Let's get to work.

Okay.

What are you looking at?

Me and Christophe in Montenegro.

It's our first kiss.

Your first kiss was a selfie?

Yeah. That's how I got things started.

Have you heard back from him yet

about going to the next phase?

Nope. But that is so Christophe.

He hates to be rushed.

He won't even eat breakfast until 11:00.

I'm sure he'll text you before Christmas.

Of course he will.

Listen, when you know what you want in a relationship,

you can't play it safe.

You've just... you've gotta put yourself out there, take a risk.

It seems so scary though.

What if you get rejected?

You can't worry about that. That's what makes love exciting.

[oven dings]

Alright. First batch of Joy Bars.

You ready?

Okay.

Ooh. Hot, hot, hot, hot.

Okay.

Ready?

Mmm. I think they might be better than I remember.

Mmm. The salty and the sweet with the gooey and the crunchy.

Mmhmm.

We have to make more for the bakery.

Take a risk. Right?

What about Mom?

Sometimes people need a nudge.

I have this vision of a wall of seamless windows

so the sightline hits the waterline and it looks like...

Like an infinity pool.

[laughs] - Yeah.

- Aw. - Are you okay?

Um... yeah. I'm great. Why?

You're doing a weird thing with the ice water.

Sorry. My, uh, mouth is just a little hot.

Oh!

Is something wrong?

Your... your lips.

Oh my God!

Ah!

[door chimes jingle]

Sylvie!

Present.

What did you do?

Oh. So last night while you were on your date,

and I really wanna hear about that,

Annie and I did a test run of the Joy Bars.

And they are beyond, beyond.

Like, the perfect holiday confection,

and it's insane not to sell them at the bakery.

Okay. But you used up all our ingredients.

So our customers aren't going to be able to buy

the things that they actually come here to buy.

Yes. And I feel really bad for the three people

who like spinach brownies

but I think you need to take more risks.

No. No risks. You are a risk taker.

When I take risks I end up in anaphylactic shock.

What?

The lip plumper had bee pollen and I am allergic!

Oh. Oh Luce, I'm so sorry. I really didn't think...

No! You didn't!

Because nothing, literally nothing,

anyone else ever does penetrates your...

Sylvie-ness!

I'm really sorry about the lip plumper, I am.

But your whole business is about to take off

thanks to Joy Bars and my Sylvie-ness.

So...

[sighs]

I hope you are right.

There's a lot of work to do before the Stroll.

I think that we should work together.

Okay.

Hey, Annie! What was that?

Um... that was a kiss.

No! I was just posing.

Let's just get back to gift wrapping.

I'm sorry.

Hey Miss Woods. Is Annie here?

I thought she was at the booth with you.

She was but she got upset about something and left.

Thanks Max.

Annie!

Annie!

Annie Woods!

There you are.

Oh, honey. You must be freezing.

What happened?

I wanted Max to notice me

and Aunt Sylvie told me you have to take risks.

Your Aunt Sylvie's world is big and bold and... colorful.

And loud. And that works...

Sometimes.

And, um... sometimes it doesn't.

It... didn't work with Max.

Well... he came by the bakery looking for you.

He cares, Annie. And not because of some outfit.

But because of who you are.

And that is all you ever have to be, Annie.

Come here.

Uh, you could try a Joy Bar?

Oh, what's in a Joy Bar?

It is a symphony of caramel,

marshmallows, butterscotch, fudge...

Uh... sugar at Woods Bakery? Since when?

We got a holiday exemption?

Well, I didn't.

[sighs]

It seems a shame for them to go to waste.

Yeah.

And she was just starting to let me in, you know?

I just wanted to prove I could be a good sister.

♪ Joy to the world, the Lord is come... ♪

♪ let Earth receive her King.

- I've got it. - What?

I've got it.

We're preaching Joy Bars to the wrong choir.

Huh?

Woods customers are way too health-focused

to appreciate a Joy Bar.

We gotta stop trying to convert existing customers

and take Joy Bars out to the rest of the world.

Free magical Joy Bars!

A gift from the enchanted Woods Bakery.

Tired of cocoa? Try a Joy Bar.

It is 100 percent pure holiday decadence in your mouth.

Mmm! It certainly is.

Joy Bars to the world!

[cheering]

There, you in the back!

Hey.

You guys sold all the Joy Bars?

That's amazing! How'd you do it?

Um... we found the right price point.

Yeah.

[laughing]

We just gave them away.

You did what?

I mean... okay. Reframe.

We did amazing marketing outreach.

People were snatching them up. Major brand building.

You should've seen us in action.

So good.

Lucky you, kiddo. It's a two cocoa night.

Yeah, I'm gonna need a top-up too.

I can't believe you.

What?

You've been here for three days and you've managed to turn

the bakery's biggest day of the year into our worst day ever.

And you practically destroyed Annie's friendship with Max.

And suddenly my relationship with the only guy

who's ever fixed anything in my life is broken.

I'm done.

Luce, you know I didn't mean to.

Yeah, of course not. You never do!

You're just careless!

Right. Um...

You know, if that's how you really feel then, uh, you know,

maybe I should just go.

Well maybe that's for the best.

[thunder crashing]

[rain pouring hard]

Look, obviously it isn't ideal timing for you to leave

with this crazy storm.

So if you... wanna wait until the morning, that's...

Hmm. Storms don't phase me.

Besides, I'd rather leave now than stay where I'm not wanted.

Seriously? You're mad at me?

No. No, Lucy. Who could ever be mad at you?

You're perfect and I can't get anything right.

You made that clear.

I was angry because you always make everything about yourself.

Me? You're the one still clinging to your anger at Mom.

You still can't forgive her for leaving us

even though she died in an accident.

It was an accident that would never have happened

if we had just been enough for her.

Joy needed more than motherhood but that doesn't mean

she didn't love us with her whole heart.

Yeah. Not enough to stay.

Not enough to think about what we needed.

Not enough to think about what I would have to sacrifice

if anything happened to her.

Sylvie, someone had to take care of you.

Well I never asked you to do that.

I didn't have a choice!

Except after Mom died, you left too.

I mean, sure, we were in the same house but I was alone.

And now you have this whole life and...

and you and Annie are a family.

Didn't you ever think that maybe I wanted those things too?

Maybe you should go find it.

You know what? Um...

[clears throat] Maybe it is me.

Maybe I don't know how to be in a family.

But... that's okay.

You know, as far as I can tell, that's for the best because...

it seems like families just come with a whole lot of hurt.

Popcorn is ready for our annual holiday movie binge.

I've got all the toppings.

Kettle. Cool Ranch. Let the coziness begin.

[thunder rumbling]

What do you wanna start with?

One of your faves? Elf or It's a Wonderful Life?

[sighs]

Come on, Annie. It's our tradition.

Aunt Sylvie wanted to make it a party like Nana Joy.

Well, we can have our own party, right?

[electricity zaps]

Must be the storm. I'll get a flashlight.

[sighs] Where are you?

There had five in here at one point.

We could light this too.

[singing Hanukkah Blessings in Hebrew]

Let's put this menorah out every year.

I'd like that.

[thunder rumbles]

You could at least try one.

Why did you keep Nana Joy's memories in a box?

I know it probably sounds to you like I didn't love her.

That's not true.

She was my whole world.

But I was so scared that if I acted like her

I might mess up and hurt you the way she hurt me.

So I wanted to be a different kind of mom.

Maybe not anyone's idol but at least always there.

You're the best mom. Definitely idol worthy.

Oh, I wish Joy could've met you,

she would've been just blown away.

That's what Aunt Sylvie said.

Look kiddo, I know you probably wish Aunt Sylvie was still here

but I bet she's happier back on that yacht with Christophe.

She's not back with Christophe. He's in Machu Picchu.

With her.

Aunt Sylvie told him she wanted to take their relationship

to the next phase.

Like, kids and stuff.

She was waiting to hear his answer so I guess this was it.

[sighs]

She's got nowhere to go.

[thunder rumbling]

What is it, Mom?

Maybe this can help fix everything I broke.

Stay spirited. I love you.

[door crashes open]

[wind whipping]

Mom, look.

It's Joy. She was all about...

[in unison] The light that won't go out.

Mom, you need to find Aunt Sylvie.
