pin in all its former glory better pack this all right I'm going to need some cookies for the road so does this mean I have to call you your highness no it's not a pageant thing it's just a title although the year after I won the token for miss Christmas was this giant rhinestone Christmas Tree Crown so maybe I have to call her your highness well I think a pen is much more elegant than a crown how did you break it in the first place I threw it at my high school boyfriend you're Mr Christmas like the one who dumped you in front of the entire town yep yep that's the one well when was the last time you saw him a few years ago we ran into each other just kept it cordial but uh I don't keep tabs on Luke Abshire anymore no no that seems to be my grandmother's job she's convinced I'm still single because we're meant to be together what do you think I think she's got way too much time on her hands and Luke and I are ancient history so if you happen to run into him this year oh no no no to Grand's dismay Luke spends Christmas with his mom in Texas and it's a good thing too because it's the 50th anniversary of the festival's founding so all of the former Mr and M have been invited back and will be paired out throughout the entire week so not having Luke there will keep the focus where it should be on Christmas and is he still single I don't know you'll have to ask my gr what what our [Music] number [Music] n [Music] Merry Christmas a Rudolph my little Rudolph who do you belong to hey hey I'm so sorry Miss L Sarah hi W what are you doing here I was just volunteering a for

refreshment table she is in miss Christmas herself and she is checking her email when she promised me that she would not touch her phone unless that was an emergency I was really hoping to chat with

take it away like in high school no no I'm done I'm done sorry is everything all right at work yeah honestly I'm just trying to keep busy so no one asked me about Luke oh sweetheart look everyone here is so proud of everything that you've done no one cares about an old high school relationship it's just such a shame that Luke Abshire couldn't make it but not everyone's Mr and Mrs could make it so we'll put Sarah alone in the center near her family so she balances out the photo that sounds great oh great okay okay most people don't care about an old high school relationship wow that is a lot of Mr and Miss Christmases mhm can I get my winter family on stage we are over here oh good and Charlotte oh there you areful and right on the side of your mom and Sarah of course in the center with her

the app doing it now Sarah Sarah wait s wait oh so you can lie to me again I didn't lie really because yesterday you told me you'd be officially out of the picture but yet today it seems like you found yourself front center oh my plans changed I had a problem with my property a permit issue I couldn't just leave property I bought the old General Store on St Peter Street I'm turning it into my Veterinary Clinic you bought the building where we had our first kiss well no one else wanted to buy after we broke up everyone thought that building was curs very funny when your grand Heard It Through The Great Vine that I was still here she asked me to come you know how hard it is to say no to your grand oh I know trust me believe it or not this Festival it means a lot to me too and I thought that maybe I could just help you through this whole Christmas thing as a friend thanks but uh I'm fine on my own okay just thought I death and then the boat sank no but really um I think the best thing about this tradition is its power to bring people together uh my granddaughter for example she's a totally independent Spirit but this Festival has brought her home and that's some pretty powerful stuff that's why this festival means so much to me even after 50 years it just reminds me that we're better and stronger and happier when we're together than when we're apart I get a lot of attention around here but I'm stronger because my Timothy is by my side my Mr Christmas it's terrific [Applause] [Music] thank Luke wait up oh now you want to talk to me more like need to talk to you would you please slow down I can't I'm headed to the Christmas Market I got to get a some presents too okay well then I'll come with you you weren't invited it's a free country and I am Christmas royalty so I get diplomatic Community see this is the banter that you missed out on when you were determined to hate me back there [Music] I don't hate you I'd understand if you did did accidentally broadcast our breakup to the entire town well I admit I haven't always been your biggest fan but you know I could never hate you there were some pretty good memories there too well that's a start so what is it that you needed to talk to me about well I just you know I just thought maybe we could call it chur oh yeah yeah I mean you know Christmas is about people coming together and Community yeah and it's clear that we're both not going anywhere so we might as well make the best of it and okay and I may need your help my help did Sarah winter Ross just admit she needs help okay I said I may need your help she said Miss Clara has signed me up for everything from Boat Parade decorating baking HQ shifts and I just I really want this week to be perfect for my grandparents you know gr believes that Christmas is about people coming together and miracles so so you came to miss Christmas and your time to me you're so full of yourself I'm confident arrogant oh these look good py so I see what's mine is still yours after all these years mhm so do we have a truth I don't know well there a Christmas miracle that you're after I think you're asking the wrong guy got to ask him I'm not asking Santa for your help besides he's got more important things to do okay okay wait Santa says we're good we're good truce truce all right now that we're offici usually paired up you're going to need this why do I need an apron because your first task is helping me survive cookies with Santa and I am a terrible [Music] cook oh Charlotte thank goodness Mark hi I want to tell you that Doris had

not true no cuz you I'm not cuz the was those two seem to be having a pretty good time together all of a [Music] sudden Mrs Claus we talked about the meddling what what you think it's my fault that they got put on icing Duty and my fault that they have to finish cookies for Santa in our kitchen as a matter of fact I do think it's your fault oh yeah I think this is my favorite one so far yeah okay we're leaving you two those cookies better be delivered on time or you'll have nothing but coal in those stockings you hear yes ma'am no I can't believe we locked out on icing Duty and those poor suckers at the HQ had to bake all of them yeah I think it's cuz gr told them by the time that I almost burnt the house down making microwave r yeah yeah this is definitely more my speed is your speed molasses well I would rather go slowly than make cookies that look like that by the way is that a snowman or a Picasso this is so weird the way you're decorating that cookie oh yes I agree very weird no being here with you well I don't think we're ever going to get through these cookies if you don't pick up the pace I would it's just this Piping Bag is not working very well honestly come on let me try don't worry after all of these years working with Miss CLA on her Christmas schemes I'm pretty much a a pro I'm sorry uh you were saying now we have matching beards now that's pretty good icing try again please I'm sorry yeah yeah that's more like it it's kind of [Music] cute uh-huh yeah yep there oh nice now we're even even oh no This Means War what [Music] you no do you surrender never what about now oh okay what fine but only because it's Christmas agreed truth truth oh my gosh can we also agree to never let my mom know what we did to her kitchen agree do you need to get that oh snap uh yes it is work sorry they said they'd only call if it was an emergency I got to get this okay I'll start cleaning up okay thanks video call connecting no no no no no no no no no Sarah are you there hi Mr Gardener yes I am here do you have something on your face yes uh sorry sir this is icing I'm decorating cookies you know for holiday party I I like to go big as I was saying say your Grand's asked for some ornaments Mr Collins Mr Gardener this is my new intern Luke Abshire I uh I thought he should hear this Luke welcome so judge Lacy broke his legs sking in Bale he'll be in rehab for several months and it looks like we may be getting judge Casey great what's so bad about Casey he doesn't pull any punches well neither does Sarah she's the smartest person I know we're betting on it we'll let you know if anything else changes we just wanted to give you an update Luke I expect you'll offer any support she needs absolutely we make a good team we'll be in touch stay focused and Happy Holidays happy holidays so I'm an intern now huh I'm am so sorry I didn't I didn't really know what to say it just happened kind of fast I think it all went pretty well considering yeah thank you for not pulling my cover I meant what I said I'm on your team always so what kind of law do I practice go you know now that we're on the 10 I was just so sure he was not going to be here and now we're literally spending the entire week together and remind me why that's a bad thing I mean it's not a bad thing I guess it's just just a little awkward well it was your idea to team up together yeah because it was inevitable look you think anyone's going to let me forget that Luke Abshire is my Mr Christmas and besides I needed help with all the festival stuff I mean this week has got to be perfect for my grand yeah but of all the people you could have picked like I don't know your mother you pick the guy who bought the place where you had your first kiss no not you two come on you know what I think no but I'm sure you're going to tell me I don't think this is about Luke I think this is about David and Oscar and Julio and all the other guys you've dated since I've known you the ones you dumped before they could get a chance and you are not giving Luke a chance either this is not about one embarrassing breakup this is about how scared you really are to let someone in wow that was a lot and totally not true I let you into to my life maybe a little too much uh you love me look neither of you can change the past but what happens this week is completely up to you yeah maybe you're right maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to have my best friend back in my life hey now I thought I was your best friend come on you know what I mean oh you know what my cookies are ready I can't let them burn I'll talk to you later girl okay [Music] Bye Mom are you uh are you okay oh yeah yeah why wouldn't I be well um you are the best present rapper I know and somehow that very simple box seems to be defeating you oh God yes that Mark guy the photographer I saw him in town today and he asked if I wanted to take him on a tour and I said yes and then he was like well it's a date and then I was like M deep breath okay just think of warm cookies and egns okay I just I haven't been on a date since your father you know I'm so out of practice you'll be great I mean just you know be yourself and and he love you I'm just so nervous I can't even wrap this gift I feel like a teenager again there seems to be a lot of that going on around here how are things with you and Luke it's strange but um yeah know it's it's good it's um I'm actually on my way to go meet him right now we're we're going to work the carriage rides oh that's right I forgot the carriage rides are starting tonight yeah well you guys have fun not as much fun as you'll be having with Mark on your day oh just even the sound of that word makes me cringe wish you could just go with me and break the I it's not a bad idea that sweetheart I was only kidding I don't want you to be a third whe well what if I wasn't alone [Music] hey good morning oh good morning I hope that you don't mind but my daughter Sarah and her Mr Christmas Luke are going to tag along it sounds great I'm glad we're starting out our double date with spying this is not a date and it's not spying okay this is Wing Manning

it was nice of them to give us a doover and I I think I like this one better than than the one on the tree yeah we take a mean picture even when you're being attacked by a wild animal do you want to come inside I'm uh I'm sure there's some treats or o maybe even some leftover jumbalaya no that's okay I need to get Ace home but I'll see you tomorrow for some boat decorating I'll be there have a good night you too hey uh you sure you don't want to take this home I don't have a Christmas tree right now with all the construction so you keep it okay good night Sarah good night [Music] Luke oh oh come you were all just spying on me weren't you no it was a woman's idea I told him not to thanks a lot dad well did you have a nice time dear yeah yeah I [Music] did good night sleep tight gosh look at this so [Music] cute hi hi your mom told me I could find you here did I overstep no oh no look I want to apologize I had a really nice time the other day with you and I I think I just read too much into everything and I was surprised it's been a long time since I've it's been a long time for me too and just so you know you didn't read too much into everything how about we start over dinner tonight just you and me no camera no story I'd like that yeah you remember that time we stole a dingy and we rode out to the middle of the water yeah I remember not wanting to row anymore because you were getting us too close to the fireworks I was just trying to give you the best view in town who knows maybe we'll end up on the finale float this year you know to repin Mr and Miss get to ride on think we have a shot yeah I think we do she's looking pretty good you know what maybe I should recruit this team to decorate my building when we're done your building still sounds so weird to hear you say that just come over come see it right now I was thinking more like seven you know for dinner sure seven sounds good cool I'll cook you the finest Chinese takeout you've ever eaten G thanks boy I got one you sure uh where do you think you're going I am going to dinner with with Mark oh who the photographer we talked about this oh yeah oh the handsome well and I don't need three guesses about where you're going tonight Luke just wanted to show me the building he's working on mother daughter date night I'm feeling left out oh how about if I take you on an ever so romantic date and finish putting up the decorations for the dance side be still my heart oh don't worry gr look mine is not a date so mine either I'm just calling it like I see it girls good night I love you bye love [Music] you luke hey hey glad you made it me too what is that you said you didn't have Christmas no self-respecting Mr Christmas should go with that one well let's light it up then okay all right you look great I mean it it looks great I mean you look great and it is great Luke Abshire at a loss for words never thought I'd see the day a hey a hi buddy hey you going to give me a tour right the tour well this is it I mean it's not it it there's still a lot of work to be done but uh come on let me show you around okay okay so this is the waiting room I want it to be warm and inviting though you know not boring and sterile so I'm thinking maybe some plants you know all types of free treats you know a coffee station I got to have a coffee station and uh this is our reception desk if you'll follow me down this imaginary small hallway you'll see that in here we'll have three exam rooms this a work in progress but we'll have one here one in the corner and finally in the back we'll have a space where we can board the animals so I work over here and Ace and I will live out back over that way and this little place will be our happy little home but don't worry soon as all the construction is finished I'll have a Christmas tree every single year I mean this is this is really great Luke I just I don't know I just have uh one question anything why here this building has happy memories and it's the only place downtown in my price range no why New Iberia why stay in our little Old Town the people the food the warmth the way they make it feel like Christmas all year round even when the decorations go back in the boxes and I don't know maybe I was hoping that one day somebody I lost a long time ago would come [Music] back it must be dinner I did promise you some of the finest Chinese takeout you've ever had yeah well there better be some extra fried rice in there don't worry I know it's your favorite not going to lie I didn't know you'd go for the whole dessert before dinner idea well clearly you have a lot to learn about me I look forward to it that it's just so good isn't it I used to get that all the time when I was a kid it tastes as good as you remember it's better I find that most things get better with age yeah like Christmas oh so I know like when you're a kid of course it's all about the presence mhm but when you get older it's more about the moments that you spend with the people that you care the most about well I'm glad you're spending some of your time with me an old Bachelor alone at Christmas time you know what else is great about Christmas no one is a stranger this time if here that's true when you and I bumped into each other it was like meeting an old friend I knew right away I wanted to see you again and my asking you out was way more of a gamble than I usually take but in the words of my daughter dad you miss 100% of the shots you don't take W she's a very wise daughter hey what do you say we forget about dinner and double up on dessert I've been hearing about this Bakery in town G's on Maine yeah he Heaven you up for it oh yeah let's do it all right wow looks like it's just you and me well how come we get the Last Ship where're the oldest ones here well maybe because I told everybody to go home what let me call you sweet Timothy wi do you remember the first time that we danced there I remember you were scared to get too close to me I wasn't too scared oh no I was I was savoring the moment I was just taking it slow you're the one who had different ideas I was cold and I pulled you close so I'd be warm so you say let me call you sweetheart I'm in love with you take a bye all right time for the best part of the meal hey got to leave a little bit up to fate what are you doing you got to pick one okay that one you sure that one yes my left hand it could be good give me the cookie be good let's see what we got a new beginning lies in your future oh A New Beginning huh there's one take the chance while you still have the choice who writes these things when did you become such a cynic probably around the time the guy I loved more than anything broke my heart in front of the entire town yeah I never meant to hurt you Sarah I know it's just we were best friends together for four years and then it was just over like that I was confused and I I missed you in my life I was afraid everything was happening so fast I knew we weren't going to get married at 18 or anything like that but it just felt like our whole lives had been planned out for us I just needed time to figure out if that's what I wanted I didn't have it all figured out like you did Sir I was a Scared Stupid Kid I'm really sorry well I forgive you but just so you know I didn't I didn't have it all figured out I mean I still don't have it all figured out I ran away instead of facing what happened instead of facing you I know that you [Music] have where is that coming from it's my phone Miss CLA made me download this app for the festival there's an app yeah reminder to be at the ceremony tomorrow for the new Mr and miss Christmas oh that's right that is tomorrow huh yeah you know I um I should get going with the the dance and

this how do I avoid a Luke Abshire situation I see my reputation precedes me I'm sorry that came out wrong this just my Aunt Clara talks about you all the time and I love ER I don't want to lose him okay well then take it from someone who's been there before look sometimes you lose the people that you love it's not what I was hoping to hear but if it's meant to be you'll find your way back to them is that what's happening with you and Luke Abshire I mean The Whole Town's been talking about it I don't know I like him I always have but at first heart breaks hard to forget you're right I'm
