Christmas in Mistletoe (2025)

[bunniefuu]

- Melissa,

these cupcakes are amazing.

You've outdone yourself.

-Well, I'm glad you like them.

Merry Christmas, Elizabeth.

- Merry Christmas.

-I'm sorry.

I really need to talk to her.

-Tyler,

I have customers waiting.

-I'll pay for everyone's order.

-Melissa, the man needs

to talk to you.

-Melissa, I am sorry.

-It's too late for sorry.

Everyone, I'll be right back.

-I've loved you

since we were kids, Melissa.

That hasn't changed.

-We're not kids anymore.

You can't just come back here

and expect everything

to be as it was.

You have your life

and your career in the city.

I'm a country girl.

We've both moved on,

and you were never happy

living here in Travelers Rest,

and I don't see myself

being happy anywhere else.

What are you doing?

-I can be happy

living anywhere in the world

as long as you are

there with me.

I love you, Melissa.

I always have

and I always will.

Marry me.

-Yes.

- And cut!

Okay, I'm happy with that.

Let's move on.

Can we be ready to roll again,

please, in 10 minutes?

Please and thank you.

-Hey, Willow.

-Hey.

-Are we all set

for the church tomorrow?

-Uh, yeah,

I can run over and check.

- Amazing. Thank you so much.

- Mm-hm.

By the way,

this bakery is perfect.

-Yeah. It's a good bakery.

Thanks, Kim.

Oh, hey,

and have you thought any more

about hiring me

as an assistant director

for your next picture?

-Girl, you know that

is not up to me.

It is entirely Miranda.

-But she is coming by later,

and I will talk to her about it.

- Okay?

- Okay.

-She does have

another project coming up.

What's the project?

-A Christmas movie about an inn.

-Are we saving the inn

from foreclosure?

-Yeah.

-And there's probably a bakery.

-Also yeah.

-Okay. All right, well,

I'll find a little cozy downtown

with lights everywhere,

bustling with Christmas cheer.

-Okay, I'm sensing

some sarcasm here.

-Sorry.

I mean, but--I mean,

we already have a bakery.

This looks like

every other cozy bakery

in every other cozy

Christmas movie.

We can just move

some cupcakes around

and add a pretty blonde

and a hunk.

Change some dialog.

That's our next ten features.

-We don't even have to leave.

-Okay.

This is a successful

Christmas film formula, Willow.

Okay? This is what

the public wants.

Besides, what Christmas movie

do you want to make?

-Well, I sent you it.

Have you read it yet?

-I promise I will get to it

on our next break.

Okay? Sorry.

-Meet me for dinner?

-Yep.

-Christmas cupcake?

-Ah. Yeah. Thanks.

-You're welcome.

-Ooh.

- Hey, Willow.

-Oh, hey, Brett.

-Hey.

-Hey, you wanna get dinner?

-Um... sh**t. Sorry.

I--I have plans.

-Uh, breakfast tomorrow?

-Um, I'm going home tomorrow.

-So, this is it?

Were you gonna tell me?

-I'm not really good

with goodbyes.

- Well, why does this

have to be goodbye?

-I think we both know

what this is.

-What do you think this is?

-This is two people

who enjoyed their time together,

and now they know

that the time has to end.

This is my life.

Sorry.

-Hello.

-Hey, Pastor.

Thank you so much

for meeting

-with me.

-Of course, of course.

You know, the congregation

is so excited

about being

in a Christmas movie.

-The choir wanted to know,

should they wear

their white robes

or their red robes?

-Oh, you know, that is

a wardrobe question,

- but I'll find out for you.

- Hm.

-I've been practicing my lines.

-Oh, have you?

-I have to admit

I'm still a little nervous,

but, um, want to hear them?

-Uh, sure.

"And there were

in the same country,

shepherds abiding in the field,

keeping watch

over their flocks by night.

Lo, an angel of the Lord

came upon them,

and the glory shone

around them brightly,

and they were sore afraid.

The angel said unto them,

'Fear not, for behold,

I bring unto you good tidings

of great joy,

which shall be for all people.

For unto you is born this day

in the city of David a Savior,

which is Christ the Lord.

And this should be

a sign unto you;

Ye shall find a babe wrapped

in swaddling clothing

lying in a manger.'"

So what do you think?

-Uh, Linus couldn't have

said it better himself.

- So will you be

staying here for Christmas?

-No, I'm going home.

-Ah, be with family.

-Well, I don't really

do Christmas.

-Why not?

-Well, I celebrate Christmas

364 days a year,

so I kind of take Christmas off.

- But don't you miss

seeing your family and friends

and celebrating Christmas

with them?

-Maybe before this job,

but now it's just another day.

-But didn't you hear the passage

that I just read?

It's much more

than just another day.

Christmas is the celebration

of the ultimate love.

-Mm. Well, thanks again, Pastor.

The church is perfect.

Oh, and I will find out about

that robe question for you.

-Willow?

- Mm-hm?

-Merry Christmas.

- "It was a Christmas

like none other."

Oh.

Hey, Jan.

-Hello, Willow. How are you?

- Oh, I'm okay.

I'm about to wrap

on Christmas Cupcake.

-How'd it go?

-Um, another cozy

bakery in trouble.

-Well, that sounds fun.

-It's a successful

Christmas film formula, Jan.

It's what the public wants,

and the public is always right.

- Well, I love it.

Me and millions of fans.

Cozy Christmas fun,

courtesy of Willow Bends.

-Yeah. Well, this is my

last Christmas movie.

-Well, you said that

about this one

and the one before.

And what was that,

Comfort and Joy ?

-That one had a bakery too

and an inn.

In fact,

they all had bakeries or inns.

- Okay, sis,

I'm just gonna say this

because I love you,

but you're too young

to be this cynical,

and you have a job that people

would k*ll for.

Movie stars, travel, salary,

and the food.

- I do like craft services.

- Yeah, you do,

and you're really good

at your job.

Okay, I'm just gonna ask you,

are you coming home

for Christmas this year?

-Oh. Um... I don't think so.

- It's been a few years,

and the kids really miss

their Aunt Willow.

Kids, say hi

to your Aunt Willow.

-Hi, Aunt Willow.

We miss you, Aunt Willow.

-That's not fair.

Your mom put you up to this,

didn't she?

Can you put her back on?

Hey, Jan. All right,

I'm about to put my feet up

and binge on some takeout

and watch anything other

than a Christmas movie.

-Well, that just sounds...

that sounds sad.

-Well, I'll see you

New Year's Eve.

Okay?

-Hey, how was the church?

-Oh, good. Yeah.

Everything's all set.

Pastor's been practicing

his lines.

Oh, and he wanted to know red

or white for the choir robes.

-Okay.

-Hey, did you read my script?

-I did.

-What do you think?

-It's good.

-When someone says

something's good,

they mean that

it's really not good.

So just tell me,

what'd you really think?

Just be brutally honest.

-It needs work.

-Hmm. Okay,

so it's not good.

-Not what I said.

Uh, it's just that--

-Just what?

-It lacks structure.

-Okay. What else?

-There's no through storyline,

and I didn't like

any of the characters.

-You know, I wrote the

lead character based on myself.

-Yeah, I got that part.

-Well, I mean,

it's a work in progress.

-Miranda came by.

-Oh, yeah?

Did you ask her

if I could A.D. for you?

-Yeah, she's gonna call you

and talk to you about it.

-Cool.

-Are you gonna see Brett

before you leave?

-Oh, I already did.

- Oh? And?

-I just told him I was leaving

in the morning.

-And how did he take that?

-He's fine.

I mean, he knew that I was only

here a couple weeks,

and we were just casual.

He's a nice guy.

-Yeah, like a really nice guy.

Just because you're leaving

doesn't mean you have

to end things.

-And how would that work?

I mean, really?

I'm a big city girl

with a big city job,

and he's a big country boy.

He was never gonna be happy.

-Ha-ha, very funny.

Well, the rest of the crew

is gonna go

and maybe do karaoke tonight.

-You should come.

-Ah.

I think I'm just gonna watch

a movie and go to bed...

by myself.

Can I get your order?

-Yeah,

I'll take a glass of red.

Hey, Miranda.

-Willow, Kim said you did

a great job on Cupcake.

-Oh, thanks.

Hey. Did she talk

to you about me

assistant directing

her next feature?

-Yes, she did.

-What do you think?

-You're a great location scout,

Willow,

and that's where

I need you now.

-Kim and I were talking

about our next project.

It's been moved up.

We'd like to sh**t it this year.

-This year?

Well, that's not much time.

I mean,

there's only three weeks left.

-It's called Christmas Inn.

I'm going to need a cozy inn

in a small town.

Maybe a bakery.

All the usual

Christmas locations.

-Can we do something different?

-Let's not change

what's working.

-Okay. When do you need it by?

-Leave tomorrow.

Start sh**ting in a week.

I'll send you the script.

Gotta go.

- It's quite lovely,

don't you think?

There's something missing.

Mistletoe.

-Mistletoe?

We're not in foreclosure.

-Foreclosure?

-Why did you say that?

-I said we're not.

-Then why say the word?

-Cause I don't want you

to worry.

-The word foreclosure

has me worried.

-I'm just preparing you

for the worst.

-What's the worst?

-Foreclosure.

-Mom, we don't have a choice.

We're gonna have to put the inn

up for sale after Christmas.

-Not gonna happen.

All the rooms are already

booked for the Mistletoe Ball.

Well, almost booked.

Half booked,

but it'll be enough to get us

through the holidays.

I don't want you worrying.

Your dad and I always got by.

-We can't

keep going like this.

-It'll be fine.

It always works out.

Jennifer offered to help

with the ball.

-Mom.

-She's a nice girl.

-Mom.

-You need a date for the ball,

and she's here.

-That's your minimum requirement

for a date for me?

That she's here?

-She's a nice girl.

She likes you.

-Don't worry, Pops.

I got this.

I'll find some way

to save the inn.

- Ah! Mr. Mayor.

Mr. Mayor.

- Okay...

- Oh, hey, hey!

Oh, hold on.

Mr. Mayor. Hey. Hey.

Oh, you're fast.

- Jennifer, hi. I didn't see you.

- Hi. Oh, you're silly.

-How are plans going

for the Mistletoe Ball?

You know I've offered to help.

-Yes, Mary mentioned

you offered to volunteer.

-Really nice to hear.

-Oh, well, you know,

I'm here for

anything you need...

for the Mistletoe Ball.

-Yes, you are here.

-So are you going to ask me

again this year?

-Um... Oh, so...

-Oh, it's okay.

got a little call

coming through.

-Okay. Of course.

-Um...

-One second.

-Oh.

-Hello.

-Ah. Mayor stuff.

-Oh.

-I really gotta take this.

-Okay. Of course.

-Sorry.

-Hey. See you around, okay?

-Great. Bye.

-Bye.

- Oh!

- Oh.

-Oh, gosh. Sorry.

I wasn't looking

where I was going.

-Uh, where are you going?

-Uh, to City Hall.

To see the mayor.

-Uh, well, City Hall is

around the corner that way.

-Oh.

-Um... um... um...

He's a good guy.

I'm sure you'll like him.

-Nice.

-Yeah. Oh.

- Sorry.

- No, it's okay.

Yeah.

- Got it.

- Yep.

I'm sure he can help you

with whatever you need.

I'm--I'm Zach.

-Oh, I'm Willow.

-Are you here

for the Mistletoe Ball?

-No. What's that?

-Oh, every Christmas,

there's a black-tie ball

at the Fitzgerald.

It's a Christmas party

for the whole town.

Attracts a lot of visitors.

So I thought, you know,

that might be why you're--

-No, but that sounds great.

-Or the Mistletoe

Winter Festival?

-Winter Festival?

Wow, this just keeps

getting better.

-It's like, big light shows.

There's a Santa village.

A Christmas mart.

Very Christmas cozy.

-Yeah, um...

well, I hope to see you around.

-Yeah, you probably will.

-Yeah. Okay.

-Good morning.

May I help you?

-Uh, yeah.

I'd like to see the mayor.

-Let me get him for you.

Hi. I have a--

I'm sorry.

What was your name?

-Willow Bends.

-Willow Bends.

Yes, I'll tell her.

Zach will be right out.

- Okay.

- Hi, Willow.

I am the mayor.

-The mayor?

-Sorry again for the,

you know...

-Oh, no, no, no.

I was taking pictures,

not looking where I was going.

-What can I do for you?

-I'd like to see the town.

For a movie.

I'm a location scout,

and we are looking

for a small town

- for a Christmas movie--

- Oh! Oh!

That's wonderful.

I watch those movies

all the time.

We're a small town.

-Yeah, I see that.

-Tell me more about the movie.

-Red Herring Films,

they're the production company.

They do a lot

of Christmas movies.

Christmas Cupcake just wrapped,

and now they're doing

another Christmas movie

about an inn.

In trouble.

You know, boy meets girl,

they fall in love,

they save the inn,

and they have a happily

ever after Christmas.

-You know, you really sparkle

when you tell that tale.

-I've told it a lot.

-Well, I can--

I can show you around town.

Where are you staying?

-I actually haven't gotten

that far yet.

I used my film

location algorithm,

a very sophisticated system,

and Mistletoe popped up.

And what could be more perfect

for a Christmas movie

than a town called Mistletoe?

It's almost too perfect.

-And here you are.

- I am here.

So who do I need to talk

to about permits?

-Our town attorney,

Don Worley...

Let him know.

And how about

we get you a room,

and we can talk more

after you settle in?

-Great. Do you think

that you might have an inn

that we could use

for the movie?

-I think so.

Uh... give me a couple minutes.

Ruth, uh, can you come back?

- So...

Tell me more about the movie.

Oh.

Mom, this is Willow Bends.

- Hi, Willow.

I'm Mary.

Very nice to...

-Uh, Willow is a

movie location scout,

so she's gonna need a room

and an inn

for a Christmas movie.

- Really?

-This place is perfect.

I could not write a better

description for a screenplay

of a Christmas inn.

Welcome to the Mistletoe Inn.

-Well, why don't we get

Willow a room,

and then we can go into detail

about the movie?

- Terra, come here.

Terra, this is Willow.

She'll be staying in room 210.

Willow, if I could get you

to sign the registry.

- Sure.

- And how long

will you be staying?

-Um, I think until Christmas.

-Let me take you to your room.

-Okay.

-See you in a bit.

-Yeah.

- Are you here

for the Mistletoe Ball?

- Uh, no. I'm actually

here scouting locations

for a Christmas movie.

- I'm in theater at WKU.

I want to be an actress.

-That's nice.

Oh.

-Do you think

I could read for a part?

Last year,

I played Lady Witherton

in The Magic of Christmas.

-Do you know the play?

-No.

-Lady Witherton is the lead,

and the Mistletoe

Daily Bulletin

said I was a young,

upcoming actress to watch.

Their words, not mine.

I could do a scene for you.

-I... I just...

find locations.

-Okay. I understand.

Um, if you need anything,

I'm just down the hall.

Like blankets or pillows,

or you want me to read a scene.

-I--I need to take this.

-Okay.

-Hey, Miranda.

Yeah, not only did

I find an inn,

I am sitting in it right now.

- Great.

We added horses.

Oh, gotta take this.

- That's Violet.

- Aw.

Hey, Violet.

So tell me about

the Mistletoe Inn.

-The Mistletoe Inn opened

on Christmas Eve, 1903.

Mrs. Astor hosted a party

for the New York 400

who came here

for the winter fox hunts.

- Wow.

- The theme

was Mistletoe Madness,

and everyone wore mistletoe.

After the popularity

of the party,

the town was named Mistletoe.

-Well, Miranda,

my executive producer,

she will absolutely love

to film here.

-Not gonna happen.

-What? Why?

You don't want the Mistletoe Inn

to be in a Christmas movie?

-I don't care much for the idea

of a lot of Hollywood folks

taking over the inn,

breaking things,

doing whatever they do

in Hollywood.

-Well, our production company

is from Atlanta, not Hollywood.

-Half a dozen of one...

-I can assure you,

nothing bad will happen.

-The best way

to not let bad things happen

is to not do them.

So I pass.

It was nice to meet you, Willow.

I've got to go feed the horses.

-Zach, can you talk to her?

-She doesn't take well

to Hollywood types.

-It's Atlanta.

-But the inn needs this.

I'm gonna make sure it happens.

-Oh.

-How about I show you around?

- Sure.

- Stay. Good girl.

- Bye.

- Thank you. Perfect.

- Hi, Mayor.

- How's it going?

Right?

- Ooh.

- Oh, careful.

You okay?

- Sorry.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

-So, uh, how'd you get

into film?

-Oh, uh, well,

I've always loved movies,

you know,

sitting in a dark theater,

getting lost in a story.

In that moment,

the character's world

becomes your world

through the camera's lens.

It's magical.

I went to school in LA

to study directing.

-You should be directing films,

not scouting movie locations.

-Yeah, well, at least

I'm working in film.

But what about you?

How'd you get started

in politics?

-Well, my family's

always been involved

in Mistletoe politics.

My dad, he was

on the city council for years.

- Mm-hm.

-So when the mayor retired,

I ran and won.

- Mm.

So what's next?

Senator? Governor? President?

-Uh... I think I'm okay

with mayor for now.

You want to grab

a hot chocolate?

There's a great place

right over here.

-Yeah, sure.

-Awesome. Come on.

-So, tell me,

how do I get Mary

to let me use the inn?

-Okay, don't worry.

Mom--or Mary--

and the rest of the town,

they'll warm up to you.

You just gotta give them a

little time to get to know you.

-Well, that might be a problem.

I'm not exactly known

for my warmth.

Sarcastic, snarky,

maybe on a good day apathetic...

but warm, not so much.

-I--I don't know.

I find you, uh...

- likable.

- Likable.

That's a pretty high bar to set.

I've become

a little bit cynical...

so my sister says.

It's just all these

Christmas movie happy endings

made me realize I'll never find

that kind of happiness.

- I still find you

very likable,

and I think

the rest of the town's

gonna find you likable too.

I wouldn't give up

on happy endings just yet,

Willow Bends.

Happy endings,

they don't just happen.

It's up to us to write them.

- Hm.

So, where you from?

-I'm from Chicago.

-Do you have any family there?

-Yeah, my sister

and my niece and nephew.

-You going home for Christmas?

-I don't really do Christmas.

I mean, I'm usually scouting

a Christmas movie in a town

I've already forgotten

the name of.

Christmas is kind of just

another workday for me.

-I think there's

a town ordinance

against bah humbug.

I'm gonna have to check it out,

but I'm pretty sure

you're not allowed

to not love Christmas

in Mistletoe.

Um, is there anyone at home

waiting for you?

-What about you?

Is there a Mrs. Mayor somewhere?

-No, no.

Um, there was a girl.

I followed her to New York.

Worked there for a few years,

but just wasn't for me.

-When did you know?

-I was sitting in my room

watching a Christmas movie,

and it reminded me of home,

and I realized there

was nowhere else I'd rather be,

so I came back to...

- Mistletoe.

- Yes, Mistletoe.

- So you said

that the inn needs this.

What did you mean?

-Uh... Well, since my dad died,

the inn's been struggling,

you know, and I help out

when I can,

but it's a lot for my mom.

You know,

she depends on Christmas

for most of the year's income.

-Well, I can't think

of a better way to drive tourism

into town than to sh**t

a Christmas movie

in a town called Mistletoe.

- Hm.

-Thanks for showing me

around today

and for not issuing me

a bah humbug ticket.

-Well, the first one's just

a warning,

but I got my eyes on you,

Willow Bends.

-Noted.

I'm glad we bumped

into each other.

-Well, actually,

you bumped into me.

Right.

-Good night, Willow.

- Good night, Zach.

No, Willow. No.

You are on set a couple weeks,

and then you move on.

Oh, good, you're back.

This is Bradley.

He'll be reading

Lord Witherton.

-What's happening?

-Um, Lady Witherton,

my goodness...

-Isn't it wonderful?

-The guests will arrive soon,

and you dally by this tree.

-Details are the very measure

of perfection, Lord Witherton.

Everything must be perfect

for our first Christmas ball

as husband and wife.

Just imagine the candles aglow

as music fills the room

as couples entwined in

an embrace dance a waltz.

That is the very measure

of perfection, Lord Witherton.

-It's as fabulous as you are.

- Lord Witherton,

you flatter me.

At this point, Lord Witherton

takes Lady Witherton's hand

and pulls her in for a kiss.

Bradley!

The guests,

what will they think?

-Let them think what they want.

-Oh, dear husband,

the joy that fills me

to be here with you

as we celebrate Christmas

at Witherton Abbey.

-Uh, Terra...

-We can start over.

I haven't read in a while,

and I'm kind of rusty,

and Bradley was really nervous.

-Terra--

-I--

You didn't like it, did you?

I--I can do a different scene.

-No, no. It--it was fine.

It was great.

I just, I don't do casting.

- Can you get me an audition?

- Um, look, I'm...

I'm really tired.

I'm sorry, but, um,

I'm gonna go to bed.

But good job.

Good night.

Terra and Brent.

It... it's Bradley.

-Ssshhh.

-Oh, hey, Mary.

- Willow, how are you?

How was your room?

- Great.

Everything's great.

Um, hey,

have you thought any more

about letting us film

at the inn?

I mean,

it's so cozy and charming.

It would look magical on screen.

I mean, think of everybody

at Christmastime

huddled around

the Christmas tree

watching movies,

and they see Mistletoe Inn.

It's not gonna happen.

-Feel free to grab a scarf

on your way out.

It's cold today.

-Oh.

This is perfect.

This town is perfect.

- Thank you.

- Oh. Excuse me?

-Mistletoe is perfect.

I'm Don Worley,

the town's attorney.

-Oh, Mr. Worley,

nice to meet you.

I'm Willow Bends.

I've actually been meaning

to talk to you

about getting some permits

for sh**ting around town.

- I heard.

We're actually having

a town hall meeting tonight

about your movie

at the Mistletoe Inn.

-I'd like for you to be there.

-Of course. I appreciate it.

-Zach has pretty much

convinced everyone

that your movie will

be great for Mistletoe,

but I'd like to learn more

before I decide that's true.

I do expect Hollywood

to dot all their I's

and cross all their T's.

-Well, Atlanta,

not Hollywood.

-Half a dozen of one.

-I have scouted a hundred towns

for a hundred Christmas movies.

I've worked with

small independent

production companies,

and I have worked

with big studios.

And one thing remains constant:

I always leave a town

better than when I found it.

My name precedes me,

and my actions follow me.

And I promise you

I will treat Mistletoe

as though it is

my own hometown.

-And what's your hometown?

-Chicago.

-Hmm.

Well, anyway,

Zach is a great guy.

His name precedes you,

and your actions

will follow him.

So tread gently on my town.

And if the rest

of the town signs off,

then you and I are good.

-Yes, sir.

-But I just want you to know

that no matter what you do,

it's not gonna happen.

-Oh.

-Oh, God.

-I am so sorry about last night.

I kind of ambushed you.

It's just there's not a lot

of acting opportunities

around here.

-No, you're good. Really.

I mean, if, if I had my say,

I--I would cast you.

-Thank you.

I appreciate it.

If there's anything you can do,

I'm open to any part.

It--it doesn't have

to be the lead,

unless you think I could be.

You think?

The lead, that would be amazing.

Can you tell me

about the lead?

-Um, 30s, brunette.

Blondes are a little last year.

She's pretty,

but not too pretty.

We need the audience to relate.

She's got a twinkle in her eye,

a song in her heart,

with just a dash

of vulnerability.

In 90 minutes,

she saves the inn,

meets her true love, and

finds her Christmas... spirit.

-I could dye my hair.

Terra, I love your enthusiasm.

Really, I--I do,

but that'll fade

with every audition.

But I mean, I don't know.

If you really want it

and believe in yourself

and keep going,

I... I know that you will--

uh...

Well, good luck anyway.

And, um, oh!

Do you think

that you could talk to Mary

about letting me use the inn?

-I'll talk to her later tonight.

-Oh, okay, great.

Thank you.

- Hey, Willow.

- Huh?

- Something wrong?

-Uh, my car is gone.

-Oh. Well, where'd you park?

-Right there.

-Didn't you see the sign?

-Apparently not.

-That's weird.

-There's usually a cone

blocking the spot.

-Well, can you fix it?

-Your ticket?

-Yeah.

-You want me to use

my mayoral powers

to fix a parking ticket?

-Yeah, I want you to use

all of your superpowers,

because I need my car.

-Okay. I'll make a call,

but you owe me.

This is the second ticket

I've fixed for you, right?

That bah humbug ticket

is a class three misdemeanor.

You are now a two-time offender.

-Wow. Okay,

so the bah humbug law

was serious.

- Mm-hm.

- Are there any

other Christmas laws

or ordinances

that I should be aware of?

- Mm.

Well, the day

after Thanksgiving,

all Christmas trees

must be up and decorated.

Hot chocolate

and a Christmas movie

playing while you decorate

is encouraged.

-Good to know.

-Every citizen is required

to hum a Christmas song

while they walk

along Main Street.

Christmas sweaters

are encouraged

but not required.

-Should I be humming?

-And if you find yourself

standing under a mistletoe

with someone you care about...

- Yeah. What happens?

Okay, I--I did not plan this.

-Uh-huh.

-We are called Mistletoe.

-It's everywhere.

-Sure.

Oh. Uh, excuse me for a second.

-Hey, Miranda.

-How are the locations?

I need the signed agreements.

-Um, I'm working on it.

- I can't do

the scheduling

without the locations,

and I need to do

the schedule now.

-Well, they're having

a town meeting tonight

to discuss the movie,

so I will call you back.

-Very well, then.

We added a montage.

Find some Christmas cheer.

You know, the usual.

- Everything good?

- Yeah.

- Mistletoe says

no, no to Hollywood!

Mistletoe says no,

no to Hollywood!

Mistletoe says no,

no to Hollywood!

Mistletoe says no,

no to Hollywood!

You must be Willow Bends,

that movie director.

I saw you at the coffee shop

the other day.

I'm Myrtle, and this

is my best friend, Grace.

-Well, I'm not

a movie director yet.

I--I just do locations.

-It is so nice to

meet you, Willow.

I hope you're enjoying

your stay in Mistletoe.

-Oh, yeah.

Just like the town sign says,

it's the friendliest

little town.

- Yeah, yeah. Yep.

- We are.

Mistletoe says no,

no to Hollywood!

Mistletoe says no,

no to Hollywood!

Mistletoe says no,

no to Hollywood!

Mistletoe says no, no...

-I got this. Don't worry.

Quiet, everyone.

Please.

Everyone knows Willow

is here scouting locations

for a Christmas movie.

And I think it would be great

for Mistletoe,

but I want to get

everyone's input.

Yes, Ruth?

-I, for one, say no.

Mistletoe is a hidden gem.

I think we should stay hidden.

We don't want a lot

of tourists coming to the town

to see the place where

the Christmas movie was filmed.

I don't think we need

that kind of trouble.

- Who is that?

That is Ruth Stern.

She's president of the MF'rs.

- Who?

- The MF'rs.

- I don't think

I'm hearing you right.

- The Mistletoe

Founders Restoration Society.

MFRS.

Oh, that makes more sense.

- Yeah.

- The Downtown

Development Commission

would welcome tourists.

Believe me, we need people

coming into town,

spending money at restaurants

and businesses.

-Who is this Red Herring Films?

-Oh, they are

a reputable production company

out of Atlanta, not Hollywood.

You know their movies.

Paws for Christmas,

A Christmas Bride,

and they just wrapped

Christmas Cupcake.

I was on set the whole time,

and they were very professional

and respectful

with their locations.

-I can vouch for Willow.

And I'm going to be with her

the entire time

during filming,

if we all agree.

So the town of Mistletoe

will be in a Christmas movie.

- No.

That decides it, then.

- Don't worry.

-Hey. This isn't over yet.

-I thought you said

I was likable.

I don't think they

like me very much.

I mean, how do I get

on Ruth's good side?

-Ruth doesn't have a good side.

-All right. Well, it's hopeless.

I mean, I'm gonna have

to find another town.

-No, no. Don't go yet.

Just... one... hold on.

- Hi. I'm Jennifer.

I'm on the

Mistletoe Ball committee.

So just let me know

if there's anything you need.

Okay?

-Okay.

-Okay. Okay.

Hey, Miranda, it's Willow.

- Yes.

-We may have run

into a little bit of a snag.

- What kind of snag?

-It's the MF'rs.

-There's no need to use

that kind of language.

-No. The Mistletoe Founders

Restoration Society.

-What's the problem?

-They won't let us film.

- Why not?

-I don't know.

-If it doesn't happen

in the next couple of days,

move on!

- Everything okay?

- Um... yeah.

It will be.

-Well, I pulled these up

from the basement.

It is tradition

at the Mistletoe Inn

to have guests help

decorate the tree.

- Mm.

Oh. My mom had an ornament

just like this.

It was her mother's.

- It's beautiful.

- So tell me

about your Christmases

growing up here in Mistletoe.

-Well, I grew up here

at the inn,

- Mm-hm.

- and every Christmas,

we would have guests,

and my dad would play Santa,

pass out gifts to all the kids,

and my mom, she would cook

this big Christmas dinner.

What about you?

-My mom and sister and I

would bake Christmas cookies

and watch Christmas movies.

I used to love

watching Christmas movies.

And Jan and I--

that's my older sister--

we would try and stay up

all night Christmas Eve

and catch Santa.

It made for a pretty

perfect Christmas.

Uh... one sec.

I haven't shown anyone

other than my sister this.

A Perfect Christmas.

It's a working title

based on my

childhood Christmases.

I want to direct it someday.

It's not very good.

It's definitely

a work in progress.

-I'd like to read it.

-Sure. Sometime.

-I'd really like to read it.

-Maybe.

- Now.

- Okay.

So what do you think?

Is it good?

-Yeah. It's good.

-What's wrong with it?

- Well, like,

the part where the father

leaves on Christmas Eve.

That's kind of sad.

-Well, it's based on my life.

I mean, my dad did leave

on Christmas when I was five.

-I'm sorry to hear that.

-What else is wrong with it?

-Okay. Like, well...

I didn't really connect

with the lead character.

-I'm the lead character.

-I know.

-What? So you're not

connecting with me?

- Not in the script,

I'm not.

-Well, I mean,

what do you know anyway?

I mean, how many screenplays

have you written?

-Okay, don't get defensive.

You asked for my honest opinion.

-Well, I didn't want you

to actually give it.

-Well, if you don't want

to hear someone's opinion,

you shouldn't ask for it.

-Oh. Mary. Sorry.

I didn't know anyone

was in here.

Um, just gonna put this

in the sink.

-You're causing quite the ruckus

in Mistletoe,

Willow Bends from Hollywood.

-Oh, Chicago.

I'm from Chicago.

-Half a dozen of one.

Wash your hands.

-Huh?

-Hands.

-Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Okay.

Very Christmassy.

-You take your butter

and your sugar,

and you cream them together.

-Okay.

-And gently mix in the flour.

- Zach has been saying

what a great opportunity

it would be to have

a movie filmed here.

-Oh. Well, it would be.

I mean,

tourism helps the economy,

and especially in a small town

like Mistletoe.

-Zach's been saying

nice things about you.

-What kind of nice things

has he been saying about me?

-Just that you're not

what we think Hollywood people

would be like.

You seem down-to-earth

and normal and sweet...

and pretty.

-Zach said I was pretty?

-Not in so many words,

but I can see

that he's attracted to you.

-Well, none of that

really matters.

If I can't get permission

to film,

I'll have to go

on to another town.

-You will be hard-pressed

changing Ruth's mind.

-Why doesn't Ruth

want to film in Mistletoe?

-Ruth is my longtime

close friend.

She has her reasons,

and I respect that.

I'm not one to talk

about other people's business.

That's for her to tell you.

- Mm.

Mm.

These are delicious.

You know, this is really nice.

Brings back fond memories.

That's what Christmas is about.

Celebrating old memories

and creating new ones.

- Whoo!

- Hey, Willow.

How are you doing?

-Hey, sis.

-How's the scouting going?

-Good.

Good.

Everything's pretty good.

-I can't understand you.

Are you eating something?

-Yeah, sorry.

I made a batch

of Christmas cookies,

and I couldn't resist.

-Did you say Christmas cookies?

When was the last time

you baked Christmas cookies?

-With you and Mom.

- You sound strange.

Is everything okay?

-Yeah.

I feel kind of strange.

Like...

-Like what?

-Nothing.

I was just missing you

and Mom and...

sad I'm not gonna celebrate

Christmas with you.

-Come home. We miss you.

- Oh. Hey, Jan.

-Yeah?

-I took out my script.

- You took out

your script?

You haven't done that in years.

- Yeah.

- What made you do that now?

- I don't know.

I guess just thinking

about you and Mom

made me want to write again.

- You should.

You're a really good writer.

You know, I can hear you

eating a Christmas cookie.

- Sorry.

It's really good.

Mary is such a good baker.

-Wait, who's Mary?

-Mary. She owns the inn.

-What inn?

-Mistletoe Inn.

She's Zach's mom.

-Who's Zach?

-Okay, let me bring you

up to speed.

Remember I'm in Mistletoe?

-Oh, the mountain town.

-Yes.

And I'm staying

at the Mistletoe Inn,

the historic inn,

and the mayor--

-Who's the mayor?

-Zach's the mayor.

Wow, you're really not

getting it, are you?

-Sorry.

-Anyway, Zach's really cute,

and he's helping me

find locations for this movie.

-Oh, the mayor.

He's cute, huh?

-Yes. Now you're getting it.

The problem is Ruth.

-Who's Ruth?

-She's an MF'r.

- Willow!

That's not very nice!

No, Ruth is the president

of the Mistletoe Founders

Restoration Society,

and she thinks Mistletoe

is a gem of a town,

and she wants

to keep it that way.

-You'll convince her.

You're likable.

-I am very likable, aren't I?

-Does Zach find you likable?

Do you find Zach likable?

-I don't know, Jan.

It isn't high school.

I don't know.

-I'm very happy for you, Willow.

-Oh. Sorry, sis.

I gotta go.

I'm sorry about the script.

You're right.

I don't know what

I'm talking about.

-No, you're right.

I asked for your opinion,

and it's not very good.

-My favorite Christmas movie

is playing tomorrow.

Do you want to go?

I'll buy you popcorn.

Maybe a drink.

It's a special movie

they play every year

in Mistletoe.

-You had me at popcorn.

I'm in.

-Okay, I told you.

We're called Mistletoe.

They're everywhere.

-Uh-huh. Sure.

Good night.

Good night.

-"It was a Christmas

like no other.

Not since I was a little girl

had I felt the way

I felt this year."

That's not so bad.

"Interior bakery. Day.

Jennifer, 30s, blonde, pretty,

hard at work

baking Christmas cookies."

Ugh.

-Oh, good. You're up.

-Did you dye your hair?

-It's a wig. Sit down.

-Just came down for coffee. I--

- Bradley and I

watched Paws for Christmas.

-What...

- Good movie.

- is happening?

She's just gonna go.

-Great locations, Willow.

Nice work.

-I... just need coffee.

-We rehearsed a scene,

the one where the dog

gets hit by the car

and then Lily, the high-powered

marketing executive--

I'm playing Lily-- rushes him

to the country veterinarian,

her ex-boyfriend,

Doctor Chad Rivers--

Bradley, get out here!

Bradley will be

playing Doc Rivers.

And... action.

Chad, please save Carly.

I don't know what

I'll do if he... dies.

-He'll definitely need surgery.

-Will the surgery save him?

Aunt Linda loved him more than

anything in this world,

and she made me promise

to care for him and the inn.

- I can save him.

It'll be a long haul

with daily therapy

and months of recovery.

-But I have to leave

for New York tomorrow.

I have a big presentation

and a board meeting.

And... is this about Carly...

or you?

-I would never use Carly

to keep you here,

no matter how much I love you.

-You love me?

And... scene.

Willow, what did you think?

Bradley flubbed a line, but...

Willow? Willow?!

-Uh-huh.

-We can start over.

-No, no.

That was great, Terra.

Yeah. Nice work, Brian.

-It's Bradley.

-I need coffee.

Come on.

Good morning, Mary.

-Good morning.

-Come on.

I enjoyed making

Christmas cookies

with you last night.

Oh, hi, Violet.

Aw.

Do you need any help?

-Yeah, grab those leaves.

-Okay.

-You know, if you keep

petting her,

she'll never leave you alone.

- That's okay.

I don't want her

to leave me alone.

Aw.

-I guess you'll be leaving soon?

- Um...

What makes you say that?

-I spoke with Ruth.

She won't be changing

her decision.

I have to stick

by her on this.

-So you're telling me

that just because one woman

doesn't want to make

a Christmas movie in Mistletoe

that the whole town

has to agree with her?

I mean, you need this.

Let me help you.

-Why would you say I need this?

-Zach told me

the inn needs help.

-He told you that I was going

into foreclosure?

That was not his business

to tell you.

-Oh, he didn't tell me

foreclosure.

I--I didn't know

it was that bad.

Please. Let me help you.

-Why is Mistletoe

so important to you?

-Because I didn't

pick Mistletoe.

Mistletoe picked me.

-It did, did it?

-Yeah, it did.

I mean, what are the chances

that I'd close my eyes

and just put my finger on a map

and it was Mistletoe

to make a Christmas movie?

I mean, it wasn't

Syracuse or Hoboken.

-Hoboken's nice.

I've been there.

And then I have a meet-cute

with the mayor.

-You lost me.

-I bump into the handsome

small-town bachelor.

Zach is both of those things.

And then I'm baking

Christmas cookies

and humming Christmas tunes.

-Well, that's a town ordinance,

and it all sounds normal.

-Well, it's not normal for me.

I'm a disillusioned

Christmas movie scout.

Mistletoe chose me

for a reason.

-Then we have to find

that reason.

-Hey, Willow.

How's the movie coming?

-About to find out.

Oh, is Zach back there?

-Oh. Yeah, sure,

go ahead on back.

Let me know if there's

a part in it for me.

- Hi, Willow.

What is this?

-I baked cookies.

-You baked Christmas cookies?

- Mm-hm.

-What happened

to the whole bah humbug?

-They're cookies, Zach.

You don't need an excuse

to make cookies

other than you just want

to eat cookies.

-Mm. Okay.

They're great.

Thank you.

I wasn't able to get

your permits approved

to sh**t downtown.

-What? What do you mean?

You're the mayor.

What happened

to your superpowers?

-Has to be approved by

a majority of the town council.

-And let me guess.

Ruth is on the council?

-Yeah.

- Ah!

I'm gonna need these back.

Do you know

where I could find Ruth?

-Um...

Yeah, right now, she would be

at the coffeehouse.

-Great.

-Okay. Well,

thank you for the cookie.

Wait. Are we still on

for the movie tonight?

-These are for you.

May I sit down?

-Can I get you

some coffee or tea?

-She won't be staying.

-What's it gonna take for you

to say yes to this movie?

-I thought I made it

perfectly clear.

We don't want Mistletoe

to be a spectacle

for ne'er-do-wells.

-Maybe we should

just listen to her.

-Zach thinks it's a good idea,

and he wouldn't do anything

to hurt the town of Mistletoe.

-I'm going to change your mind.

Enjoy the cookies.

Hello?

-Do you have

the signed agreement?

-I'm working on it.

-What's taking so long?

If you don't have it

by tomorrow,

you need to move on.

-I will.

-I just don't feel comfortable

with this.

-Mm. Good cookie.

-What?

-Myrtle and Grace

changed their votes to yes.

- Really?

-We're making your

Christmas movie in Mistletoe.

-Oh. So awesome.

- It's quite lovely,

don't you think?

- Okay, so this is

a very special movie we watch

every year here in Mistletoe.

-Looks familiar.

There's something missing.

Mistletoe.

- Mm.

See how she paused there?

The director knows

the power of silence.

Some of the best scenes happen

in between words.

- ...yet you dally

with the tree.

I'm trying to watch the movie.

- ...the measure

of perfection, Lord Witherton.

Everything must be perfect

for our first Christmas ball

as husband and wife.

Just imagine the candles aglow.

Music fills the air as couples

entwined in an embrace

-dance the waltz.

-What?

- That is the

measure of perfection,

-Lord Witherton.

-I'm just really glad

my algorithm chose Mistletoe.

- Lord Witherton,

-you flatter me.

-Me too.

-Oh.

Wait. That was Ruth?

-Yeah.

Yeah, that was her one movie.

-I love old black

and white movies.

-Come with me.

-Oh.

That's a pretty doll.

- She's a Fresh doll.

She looks just like me.

-Do you like Christmas movies?

Oh. Well,

I'm scouting locations

for a Christmas movie right now,

and we need lots of extras,

and I think that you

and this doll

would be absolutely perfect

for the movie.

Do you think you

could take her home

and watch her

until I start filming?

-Yeah.

-Okay.

Aw. Okay, thanks.

-You're welcome.

-That was very kind of you.

-Oh. Man, I should have

brought my camera.

I should be taking pictures

for set design.

-Why don't you

take a night off?

-Okay.

-Yeah.

What are you doing?

-Taking the night off.

- Thank you.

- Hi, Mr. Mayor.

Have you asked anyone

to the Mistletoe Ball yet?

I was hoping that we could

go together like last year.

-Willow, this is Jennifer.

-Hi.

-Oh.

Are you two together?

-Oh, um... I don't know.

Are we together, Mr. Mayor?

-I've already asked someone.

-Oh. I understand.

-So who did you ask

to the Mistletoe Ball,

Mr. Mayor?

-You've got a little...

a little something there.

-Is it gone?

-No.

There's... there's a bit more.

-Oh.

-Yeah. Yeah.

-She is cute.

-Oh.

I better go see

what Ruth wants.

I'll be right back.

-Hello.

-Oh! Hi.

Do I know you?

-I'm Kevin.

-Hi, I'm Willow.

-Yes, I know.

-It's nice to meet you, Kevin.

-Nice to meet you too.

How are you enjoying Winterfest?

-Uh, it's lovely.

-Yes, isn't it?

Very nice, huh?

-Can I help you

with something?

-I'm Kevin.

-Yep, we've established that.

-Kevin Parker.

-Okay. Clears that up.

-All right. I am the director

of the Winterfest here.

- Oh.

-And Zach told me you want

to sh**t your movie here.

-Oh, I'm so sorry.

Zach didn't tell me

that he spoke with you.

Yes. I mean,

it would be perfect.

My executive producer, Miranda,

she would definitely want

to sh**t something here.

- Mm.

- Maybe a montage.

Christmas movies love montages.

It's a way

to make hours of backstory

and condense it into

a little two-minute music video.

-Yeah, that's good to know,

and I'm very glad Winterfest

is working fine for you.

You're enjoying it.

A montage sounds exciting,

but it's not going to happen.

-Oh.

-Enjoy your stay here,

and Merry Christmas.

-Merry Christmas.

- h*-h*-h*.

Willow Bends.

-How did you know my name?

- I'm a big fan

of Christmas movies.

-Well, I have to say,

you are the best-looking Santa

I think I've ever seen,

and I've seen a lot of them.

-Tell me what you want

for Christmas.

-Well, all I wanted

for Christmas

was to make a Christmas movie

in Mistletoe.

So my wish came true.

-Is that what you really wanted?

-Well, actually,

I didn't want to make

a Christmas movie in Mistletoe.

I wanted to make my

Christmas movie in Mistletoe.

But I know that'll never happen.

So, Santa, if you are real--

no offense--

that would be my Christmas wish.

To make my Christmas movie.

- Faith is believing

in things

when common sense

tells you not to.

I'll see what I can do.

- Do we have

permission or not?

-Yes.

-Good. I'll be there tomorrow.

And horses are back

in the script.

-Thank you.

Oh. Santa?

-Who you talking to?

-Oh, um...

Miranda.

-What happened

to taking the night off?

-Well, um...

Well, I mean,

what was that with Ruth?

- Touch.

Do you ride?

- Take that as a yes.

- Yeah.

-Yeah. I'm glad to see you

starting to get

into the holiday s--

-Oh! Please don't say spirit.

It's in every single

Christmas movie I've ever done.

-Okay. How about cheer or...

-Stop.

-Glee. Joy. Happiness?

-No. I mean,

don't get me wrong.

It's not that I don't

love holiday traditions.

I mean, especially

Christmas movies.

-I do.

-What is it?

-Well, it's just not realistic.

I mean, people don't just bump

into each other

and fall in love at first sight

with a backdrop of mistletoe

and carolers.

-Willow, we are on a carousel

with Christmas music playing

in a town called Mistletoe.

-We did have

a pretty good meet-cute.

-Huh?

-When we bumped into each other

at City Hall.

If we were in

a Christmas movie,

we would be in the third act

just waiting to kiss,

but unfortunately,

something would stop us,

because in the script,

it's just too soon to kiss.

-Mm.

Okay, so for,

like, argument's sake,

let's say that we were

in a Christmas movie.

How soon until we kiss?

-Mm... until we fall deeply,

hopelessly in love.

-Do you think two people could

fall in love in 90 minutes?

-Well, for me personally, no,

but in a Christmas movie?

Absolutely.

-So. You think I'm pretty?

-What?

-You think I'm pretty?

-I didn't--I didn't say that.

Where'd you hear that?

-Oh, so you don't think

I'm pretty?

-No. I... Yes. I mean--

-Oh, so you do think

I'm pretty.

-Yes. I think you

are the prettiest

Christmas movie location scout

I've ever seen.

-Oh. Well, then you must

have seen a lot of us.

-Dozens. Maybe hundreds.

Will you go with me

to the Mistletoe Ball?

- Oh.

-Bradley and I watched

A Princely Christmas ,

and we prepared a scene.

-I--I talked to my producer,

and we have a part for you.

Oh, it's a small part.

It's only a couple of lines.

Look, I'll read it with you

after the Mistletoe Ball.

Oh, and Bradley,

there's a part for you too.

-Oh. You said Bradley.

-What are you working on?

-I'm making mistletoe corsages

for the ball.

-You know, Grace and Myrtle

changed their vote.

-I heard.

-And, um, Zach asked me

to go to the ball with him.

-He did, did he?

-I just, I don't have

anything to wear.

-I can find something.

I should leave you two to talk.

-I'm sorry that things

had to be this way.

I don't know why you hate me.

-This wasn't about you.

-Kind of feels

like it was, Ruth.

-I know what Hollywood's about.

They take what they want,

and then they just

toss you aside

when you're no longer useful.

I couldn't let that happen

to Mistletoe.

I love this town.

-But I love this town too,

and I won't let that happen.

Here. I... I want you

to have this.

-What is it?

- It's a script

I've been working on.

A little town opens its heart

to some disillusioned

movie scout.

She thinks

she's saving the town,

but really it's the town

that saves her.

-Well, I have something for you.

This is an injunction

blocking Red Herring

from filming in Mistletoe.

I have powerful friends.

I don't like to lose.

-Leaving now.

- Don't bother coming.

-Why not?

-We just got served

an injunction

prohibiting us from filming

in Mistletoe.

-How did you let that happen?!

-I didn't let it happen.

It just happened.

- I had a feeling

you've been trying

to sabotage my film

from the beginning.

-Why would you say that?

-Cynical snarkiness

and apathy for the art

that I'm creating

is evident.

I don't even think you tried.

-This is the first film

in literally years

that I've actually put

my heart into.

I love this town.

I would do anything

to sh**t here.

I don't believe you.

You're off the project.

In fact, you'll never work

on a Red Herring Film again.

You're fired!

-Quiet. It's your Aunt Willow.

-Hi, Aunt Willow.

We really, really miss you.

-Hey. How's it going?

-Miranda fired me.

-What? What happened?

-Doesn't matter.

I'm coming home tomorrow.

-But what about Zach?

You're falling in love

with him,

and you're afraid

he's gonna leave you.

Zach is not Dad, Willow.

You deserve happiness.

Run to it.

Let it happen to you.

You deserve your

happy ending too.

-Happy endings

don't just happen.

It's up to us to write them.

I just don't know how.

Oh, hi.

Come here. Oh.

-Willow! Where are you going?

-I'm--I'm leaving.

-I'm sorry about Ruth,

but you don't have to leave.

-Just tell Zach I'm sorry.

-I wore this gown

for the first Mistletoe Ball.

It was my first date

with my husband, Bill.

As we danced together

that night,

I knew we'd be together forever.

We still will.

He just started

a little sooner than me.

-Good evening, everyone.

My name is Kevin.

Kevin Parker.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

And welcome

to the Mistletoe Ball.

Let's thank...

the Mistletoe Founders

Restoration Society.

Ruth and her MF'rs have outdone

themselves this year.

Let's give it up for them.

And Zach, Mr. Mayor.

Please come on up here.

-All right.

Oh, look at everyone.

Welcome everyone

to the Mistletoe Ball.

I'd also like to thank the

Mistletoe Founders Restora--

Thank you.

-Thanks for helping me find

my Christmas spirit.

-Joy. Happiness.

-Yep, all of those things.

Zach, I can't do this.

I'm so sorry.

I just can't.

I can't have

a serious relationship

on a movie set.

It just--

it always ends.

It has to.

-It doesn't have to end, Willow.

-We both know what this is.

-What do you think this is?

-This is me falling in love

and then having my heart broken

when I have to leave.

-You don't have to leave.

-I always leave.

-Merry Christmas,

Willow Bends.

- It's quite

lovely, don't you think?

There's something missing.

Mistletoe.

My goodness, Lady Witherton.

Isn't it wonderful?

- The guests

are set to arrive,

and yet you dally

with the tree.

- I read your script.

I don't say this often,

but I was wrong... about you.

You know the magic

of Christmas.

Do you know

why I only made one movie?

Everything must be perfect

for our first Christmas ball

as husband and wife.

I fell in love

with my leading man.

He asked me to marry him,

but I was too afraid

to give him my heart

because I couldn't stand it

if he broke it.

Just imagine the candles aglow.

Music fills the air

as couples entwined

in an embrace dance the waltz.

I ran home to Mistletoe.

Not a day goes by

that I don't regret

running away from love.

-Willow...

I know you believe

two people can't fall in love

in 90 minutes,

but I fell the moment I saw you.

-Willow, I know you said

two people can't fall in love

in 90 minutes,

but I fell the moment I saw you.

-Oh, Bradley.

I'm sorry.

Zach, um, I flubbed my line.

Can we go again?

- Cut!

-Bradley's making me

really nervous.

-Let's reset.

Oh, hey.

-Scene alpha, take 13, mark.

-And action!

-It's quite lovely,

don't you think?

There's something missing.

Mistletoe.
