Hello?

Welcome home, sweetie.

You know, I'm always working on cooking shows.

They want me to audition!

Your brother is dating someone.

Katie Manetti-Hanahan.

Get out of my way, Easy Bake.

[echoing] Easy bake.

[squeals]

She tortured me in middle school.

She called me "Easy Bake". She's a Manetti-Hanahan.

[in Spanish]

[inaudible conversation]

This is the happiest moment of my life.

[crowd awws]

You know, I think we always think about marriage

as finding that perfect one.

[door thuds into chair]

And that's what I found in Kevin.

[crowd awws]

But... it's also about finding the perfect family.

[door thuds into chair]

You know, my whole life I looked at the Camarena's house

and they looked so happy.

[crowd awws]

Usually it's the bride and groom up here cutting the cake, but...

[door thuds into chair]

Oh, I want my whole new family up here!

[Katie giggles]

Ms. Camarena, Mom, you wanna join us?

Oh, Katie. You're the best.

Mr. Camarena...

Call me Dad from now on. Yes!

Okay. That everyone?

Perfect.

Um... you forgot someone!

I'm here too.

[gasps]

[dress rips]

Uh, excuse me, I'm coming through.

Oh! There you are.

We've been looking all over for you.

I was seated in the back, the way back.

Well, that's okay.

You're here now, that's all that counts.

Easy Bake.

[crowd chanting] Easy Bake! Easy Bake! Easy Bake!

Easy Bake! Easy Bake! Easy Bake!

Easy Bake.

Would you not call me that?

Wow, someone is grouchy when they wake up, hm?

Oh. Thank you.

Oh.

Bedhead is hilarious.

Why are you taking pictures of me?

I'm documenting our first Christmas together.

Hopefully our first of many.

Not my first thought.

Look how cute of a family we are.

[giggles]

That was last night.

You're wearing my Frosty pajamas?

Well, you weren't.

I hope you don't mind, they are so soft.

Drink up, we have plans.

Uh... we?

You are going to love it.

♪

Here we go.

Everyone loves to indulge at the holidays

but that means it's time to kick up

our typical breakfast burritos up a notch

with a rich cinnamon-infused molé and caramelized shallots.

Yes, so get ready and get gourmet with Gaby.

Oh my God.

Is this live?

Good morning America!

I've always wanted to say that.

Kevin!

It's not live and it's not Good Morning America.

It's my cooking show audition.

Can we be in it?

Ooh, can we?

Guys, this is not a family thing.

Party pooper.

Ugh, I'm not pooping the party. This is what I do.

Well, I think you need more co-stars.

Looking at people is much more interesting

than looking at food.

[laughs]

Yeah, she's got a point.

Hey, I'd put myself up against a shallot any day.

[doorbell rings]

Oh, I got it!

[sighs]

Everyone loves to indulge at the holiday but I think it's fair...

- [beeping noise] - Did you hear that?

Clarice!

Chuck Manetti-Hanahan has that bucket lifter going

and it's not even 7:30.

That is a clear noise violation!

[beeping noise]

It's just crazy, isn't it?

How disrespectful they are to us, their neighbors.

Don't get him riled up.

Mami, we gotta think about this. Okay?

[in Spanish]

Imagine... them as our in-laws forever.

This is an issue between me and Chuck.

It has nothing to do with how we feel about Katie.

That's right. She's a sweetheart.

But they say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.

Guess what?

Katie decided to surprise you guys!

Oh, how thoughtful.

I... am treating everyone to my favorite breakfast burritos.

Just not gourmet.

It doesn't have to be to get eaten in this house.

Well, the special ingredient is tater tots.

Tater tots?

This is the best thing I've ever eaten.

Tater tots. Mmm!

Mmm. This is incredible, babe.

- Wow. Mmhmm. - Mmhmm.

[camera beeps off]

[knocking]

Getting into the holiday spirit.

[laughs]

It's all Katie.

She signed us up for a slot to be Santa and Mrs. Claus

at the holiday stroll.

You're already playing married. How...

Creative? Adorable? Fun?

Don't you think it's strange that you're, you know,

dating a Manetti-Hanahan?

Yeah, I know. Right?

You go out into the world

and you find the love of your life right back at home.

Literally the girl next door.

The love of your life?

I mean, you've only been dating a couple months. Right?

Yeah, but I've known her pretty much my entire life.

And now I'm starting to think about, you know,

a future with her.

Okay Kevin, you need to slow down a bit.

Um... there's a lot you don't know about Katie.

Like what?

In middle school she was mean. Mostly to me.

Really?

All I can remember is you guys being friends

when you were little, doing lemonade stands and stuff.

Yeah.

Besides, that was like a lifetime ago.

Well I'm not convinced she's any different.

Come on, she got you coffee this morning.

[laughs]

So she could take an embarrassing photo of me.

She took an embarrassing photo of everyone.

Okay, well explain her pushing me off the karaoke stage.

[laughs]

That was really an accident.

[laughs sarcastically]

Okay maybe. But explain this.

Why did she order burritos when she knew that's what me,

the chef, was making for family breakfast?

She made that order last night so she could surprise everyone.

Gabs... Have you ever considered

that maybe you're reading into things a little?

Look. You're my big sister and I love you to bits.

But I'm trying to start a life with Katie

and I would love for you to be a part of that.

So whatever reservations you may have about her, about us,

can you please put that aside for the holidays?

Like, maybe give her a chance.

Please?

Okay.

Gracias.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

[laughs] Whatever.

You're so annoying.

Hey! Hope I'm not interrupting anything serious.

Uh, no. Nothing.

Is that what you're wearing?

Yeah. What's wrong with it?

Ah, it's nothing. It's just kinda cold out there.

It's real cold.

Hey, check this out.

[gasps]

It's sewn in? That's amazing.

Yeah.

It's beautiful out here, Katie!

Why can't we get our tree at Pinchbeck's like always?

Because it's good to change things up.

I never knew you could even chop trees down out here.

I mean, where do you even pay?

Well, that's the best part, it's a forest.

It's free.

Wow. You can use that?

[chainsaw revs]

Sure can. Let's go get us a tree.

It's so great out here.

- [chuckles] - You!

Come on, slow poke!

Maybe that should be your nickname, slow poke.

Maybe you just call me Gaby.

Sure, if that's what you want.

What I want is a Christmas tree.

Are there even any around here?

Oh, there sure are. You'll see.

You okay, Gabs? You seem a little tense.

I'm not tense, I'm fine.

Definitely seem tense.

Isn't it weird for you too?

Dating Kevin after you weren't exactly nice to me in school.

Is that how you remember it?

Well that's how it was.

Err...

Look, I really don't see the point of dredging that all up.

The past is the past.

But I actually think it's important

that it doesn't interfere with the future.

And besides, it's Christmas.

This is the time for peace and good will. Right?

Right.

Yeah.

Look at this! Wow!

[laughter]

It's crazy.

This one looks good.

Yeah.

What do you think?

Oh Katie, Gaby picks the tree.

She's done it ever since she was a little girl.

It means so much to her.

Oh, of course. Aw, I love that tradition.

Oh no, it's fine.

No, I insist! No. Uh...

which is your favorite one, Gaby?

Um... let's see.

Um...

This one.

Yeah, it's fuller and, um, more festive. Right?

Love. Mmm.

Did you feel that?

That was a total mind meld.

[laughs]

Would you mind recording this?

I just... it's our first Christmas tree together.

I'd be happy to.

Maybe stand right there?

Oh... okay. Oh, sure.

Come on, sweetie.

[chainsaw revs]

[screams]

Gaby!

Guys. Hello? Hello?

Oh... honey.

Are you alright? Are you alright?

It's not that heavy.

You alright?

- Yeah, I'm fine. - [camera snaps photo]

It's for the Christmas album.

[giggles]

You know, we're all gonna look back at this and just laugh.

[all laughing]

Okay.

That was... ugh.

Oh Gaby, I am so sorry.

It was an accident, Gabs.

Well, of course it was.

You're not upset, are you Gaby?

Maybe it was the wind.

Oh, I just wanted it to be so special.

It was special. Very...

Unforgettable.

Gaby, let me make it up to you.

Let's go to my mom's salon

and I'm gonna get all the sap out of your hair.

Full treatment.

No thanks.

That's very generous of you, Katie.

She's a hairdresser, Gabs. She knows what she's doing.

I'm sure she does.

Executive decision.

Let's drop the girls off at the salon,

Gaby will get all cleaned up and then she'll feel better.

And then you, me, and Kevin will set up the tree.

And then tonight we will have a nice family dinner

before tree trimming.

That's a great idea, Mom.

Hey Gabs, can you get the gate?

Sure.

[horn honks]

Okay Dad, sorry.

Not even a wave, okay. You're welcome.

I'd be happy to do this. Yeah, it's fine.

Very gentlemanly of you, brother.

[scoffs]

♪

You're being a little rough.

I'm being rough?

You're the one trying to sabotage

my relationship with Kevin.

Mmhmm.

Yeah, I heard you trying to convince him not to date me.

So you made that tree fall on top of me?

No. Mmhmm. Accidents happen.

I knew this whole nice girl thing was just an act.

That is not true.

I am trying so hard to get along with you.

To find a way that we can be friends again.

Oh, but you have had it out for me ever since you got home.

Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with Kevin

slowing things down.

Right. Because, uh...

a Manetti-Hanahan will never be good enough for you.

That's not what it's about and you know it.

What I know is I fight for what's mine.

Kevin and I are gonna go the distance.

So you can get on the Kevin and Katie train

or you're gonna get left behind.

Alone. Forever. In the desert.

With those little things rolling around in the wind.

Err...

Tumbleweeds?

Yeah.

You need to stand down, Gaby.

Well... not until Kevin knows the real you.

[camera clicks]

It's Gaby the Grinch.

That's your new nickname!

[sighs]

The way you drive, I'm surprised it's in one piece.

Hey, uh, Mom.

I'll be back to help you guys with the tree in a sec. Okay?

Okay.

[Clarice] Hmm. Careful hon! Remember last year?

Mr. Manetti-Hanahan? Is this a bad time?

There's no good time for one of Manny's kids to be in my garage.

I understand you have your issues with my father

and the Christmas lights...

It's a long list, so get to it.

Right.

In spite of everything that could keep us apart,

my love for Katie has never wavered.

So that's why I believe that it's meant to be.

Forever.

So I'm here today to ask for your blessing to marry Katie.

You know that I'm a combat vet, right?

Yes.

Yes what?

Yes sir.

My, uh... fourth tour

I was deployed in Iraq, Al Anbar province.

We got word that an HVT had skipped out of Fallujah.

It was located in a town next door called Halabsa.

My unit was ordered to go in and find him

but the intel was bad and we walked right into an ambush.

They threw everything they had at us.

AKMs, RPGs, 50 cals.

We found cover but the next few hours

were the worst moments of my life.

In the end though we found a way.

Everybody went home alive.

And while you coming here today

and asking for my daughter's hand in marriage

is not as bad as that, it's a pretty close second.

However, today I do have the answer.

It's easy.

No.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

[blade sharpening]

[phone buzzing]

Hey Gabs.

[Gaby] Katie is messing with me again.

Just like when we were kids except she's better at it now.

What?

I can't even focus on my audition.

She's totally in my head.

Well, it's your word against hers.

I mean, it's not like you have any proof

that she was a mean girl.

That's it.

What's it?

The video. Easy Bake, the origin story.

Wait, you still have that thing?

It's gotta be somewhere, right?

Well, they say the internet is forever.

[sighs]

I'm sure there's a full, horrible record

of my teen torture somewhere on my laptop.

I know Katie was awful to you

but that video could do a lot of damage.

Look, why don't you come over tonight?

We'll have some wine and we will help each other

figure out how to survive Christmas.

[phone alert pings]

[Nora] Gabs? Hello?

Oh my God.

What?

She's trying to humiliate me again.

But this time it's viral.

[scoffs]

What's going on?

Oh. Gaby, where were you?

Katie and I are almost done the tamales.

- Done? - Yeah.

But that's our thing, we do it every year.

I know, honey.

But we needed to get this party started.

Oh, and I'm just so happy to learn your family recipe.

It's a lot of work.

Oh, I had so much fun Mrs. Camarena.

It's Clarice.

Why don't you let me and Katie finish?

That's a great idea.

You two should spend some time together.

- Bond. - [nervous laughter]

The tamales for dinner are in here and we froze the rest

so we can have them throughout the holidays. Okay?

We make a good team, Clarice.

[laughs]

I'll leave you two to finish up the salsa.

Okay. What's next?

Next you stop tagging me in your social media posts.

Why? We were together having fun.

I know what you're doing.

Trying to take my career, ruin everything I've worked for.

What are you freaking out about?

My photos crushed it.

Do you know how many likes they got?

I'm helping you, Gaby.

I went to Le Cordon Bleu.

I have a Masters in communications.

I don't need your help.

Right.

How could a girl who never went to college possibly help you?

Same old Gaby.

[lime squishes]

[gasps]

I'm sorry. I didn't go to Cordon Bleu.

It's okay. Um... we all make mistakes.

[blender whirring]

Your mistake...

[clears throat]...

...is not standing down.

Hmm.

You're not a fighter, Gaby. Never were.

♪

This all looks wonderful, girls.

I'm so glad you got a chance to spend some time together.

Oh, Gaby's an excellent teacher.

Oh, but so are you, Clarice.

You are an excellent student.

Oh, I remember teaching Gaby when she was just a little girl.

And look at her now. A professional chef.

[all toasting in Spanish]

[glasses clinking]

Salud! Thanks Dad.

I bet Gaby can't wait to go back to work.

I just love the way young women support each other these days.

Mmm.

[glass clinking]

[clears throat]

Actually, uh... I have, uh, an announcement.

Uh, Kev, maybe this is, um... not the best time.

I just thought you'd like something more, um, private?

Um... no, no.

I actually want everyone to hear this.

Growing up, when Katie would come hang with Gaby,

I always wanted to join them.

Even if they were playing Barbies or whatever.

Gaby thought I was doing it to be annoying

but actually I was doing it because I thought Katie

was the coolest girl in the whole world.

Tree climbing, kickball, tag... she was so amazing at all of it.

But most importantly she was never afraid of being herself.

Mmm.

And I was hoping that one day she would see me

the same way that I saw her.

Mmm.

[giggles]

My wish came true.

Oh!

Katie... I know your dad isn't exactly happy about this

but love is worth fighting for. You are worth fighting for.

Mmhmm.

[gasps]

Kathleen Isabella Manetti-Hanahan...

Will you marry me?

[gasping]

Katie?

[squealing]

What's wrong?

Hot! Hot!

What? What's wrong?

[gulping]

Yes!

[gasping]

Gaby. How could you do that to your brother?

And Katie?

She ate maybe half a chili.

Do you have any idea what she's done to me?

What has she done to you?

Everything.

Well, what does that mean, everything?

And you always waited for the school bus together every day.

She brought you waffles!

Waffles. Mija, okay.

Gaby. She's your brother's fiancée now.

I know but you can't expect me to be happy about that.

Gabriella...

She ruined my entire teenage years

and now she's ruining Christmas with my family too.

Uh...

And the power of the solar cells heats up the coils,

which means that any part where there's sun, you can bake these.

So Gaby, it's basically an Easy Bake oven, like, for kids?

No. It actually just works like a real oven

and can reach up to 400 degrees.

You must really like baking.

That's mean.

Oh, well you would know all about that.

Easy Bake.

[chanting] Easy Bake. Easy Bake.

[children chanting] Easy Bake. Easy Bake.

Easy Bake. Easy Bake. Easy Bake.

Easy Bake. Easy Bake. Easy Bake.

[teacher] Alright everyone, that's enough, that's enough.

Wow.

It's worse than I remember.

Where did you find it?

Old MySpace account.

[laughing]

What are you gonna do?

Show it to my brother.

They need to know who she really is.

Gaby, I know this will be hard,

but you need to find a way to let it go.

I thought I had let it go.

I put Katie Manetti-Hanahan behind me.

I am not that girl getting picked on anymore.

I am not Easy Bake. I am finally... Gaby.

You have always been Gaby.

You know, every year I look forward to this time,

the holidays, especially Christmas Eve

and I just feel like it's slipping away.

I don't know what to do.

You can accept the fact that she's gonna be

your sister in law and move forward.

How do you move forward with that?

- Honesty. - Hmm.

Have you and Katie ever actually talked about what happened?

Have you told her how that made you feel?

I guess not.

Well why don't you start there?

[glasses clinking] Yeah?

I knew I needed to come over.

♪

Hey. Sleep well?

Kev, I'm sorry I ruined it for you last night.

Gaby.

All I want this holiday is for you and Katie to get along.

So we can all be a familia.

I hear you.

I'm going to make it right. I promise.

By the way, Dad's gift hasn't arrived yet.

That's weird. I'll check on that later.

It's all good. I got it. Thanks Gabs.

♪ All winter

♪ I'll be thinking of you...

[clears throat]

Oh, um... sorry. I didn't think you'd mind.

You really don't live here anymore or, like,

or I don't know that often. So...

Katie, we're going to be family.

Mmhmm.

I think it's time we finally talk about our past.

And maybe if we try to be open and really honest

then maybe it can finally be the past.

Okay.

I am having a hard time

and that's because when we were kids you really hurt me.

For years, all I heard was, "Easy Bake. Easy Bake".

Every time I went into any hallway or into a classroom.

I can't even talk about lunch time.

I hated myself.

I wanted to be anyone except Gaby

and that feeling stayed with me a long time

but it doesn't excuse what I did to you.

I ruined your big, beautiful moment

and if I could change that I would.

I am so sorry.

Gaby...

I know what I did hurt you.

I'm really, really sorry too.

Thank you.

That's all I ever wanted to hear.

So... do you have anything to say to me too? Or...

Like...?

Do you even remember what happened?

Gaby, we were best friends.

Every morning you would pick me up at my house

and then we would walk to the bus stop together.

Mmhmm.

And then one day you just didn't.

Like, I had the waffles ready and, like,

you walked right past my house.

There was no explanation. I didn't know why.

Until we got to school and you ran right over there

with the smart girls.

Yeah, it was those ones that were

in the honors math class with you.

They were your new best friends, Gaby.

And then I just felt like I just wasn't enough.

Katie... I didn't realize. You know, when I...

I got put into that class, there were all these new people.

Yeah.

And I didn't really think about how that must've felt to you.

Oh, it's not an excuse for what I did.

I just... I just, like, need you to know where I was coming from.

Are you telling me that we were both mean girls?

Big time.

Oh...

- Yeah. - Yeah.

Mmhmm.

Hey. I wish we could go back and change it.

That would be so cool.

[laughs]

Yeah.

But, hey... that is exquisite.

Oh. Wait, can I show you?

Please. Oh my goodness.

Brown burgundy, it's a new color.

Ooh!

Invitation. Flowers...

[gasps]

Do you want to design my cake?

Oh my God.

Okay. See, I'm too excited.

[laughing]

What flavors are we talking?

Wait, do you remember the time, that lemonade stand,

we ran out of the real stuff and I brought out Kool-Aid.

I almost fainted.

In third grade you were always so gourmet.

[children chanting in video] - Easy Bake. Easy Bake.

[audio on computer turns off]

Easy Bake, the origin story?

Kev, that was nothing but...

No, Gaby. It's not nothing.

You humiliated my sister in front of everybody?

Yeah. It was really bad.

But we were just talking about it.

- Finally we got through it. - Yeah.

What do you mean you got through it?

Kev. It's okay.

No, Gaby. It's not okay.

You were right.

Maybe there is a lot I don't know about who you are.

Please tell me you don't mean that.

It was this dumb thing I did, I know that,

but it was just because I'm this insecure little kid.

[chuckles] Oh, no, no.

Kids tease. They don't orchestrate ways to hurt others.

Hermano.

Gabriella. Por favor.

I need to think... about everything.

I'm not that person anymore.

Are you okay?

She's not a bad person, Ma.

I know that.

I feel like I am.

I ruined Kevin's relationship.

I broke both of their hearts over some childhood stuff

that seemed like such a big deal for so long.

It was a big deal.

I wish I would've known about it.

Ma, I wasn't innocent either. I hurt her too.

Oh, do you think they can fix it?

I don't know, Gaby, that's between them.

But I do know that your brother needs us right now.

We should get ready for The Stroll.

He's still going?

He has to, he's Santa.

And we need to be there to support him.

Maybe I shouldn't go. I'm not in a festive mood

and I need to get my audition tape done.

I need to get that done by Christmas.

We'll be home early but let's be there for your brother.
