The Christmas Mixer (2025) Movie Script

On the 23rd we're
making cupcakes
Cinnamon swirls
like the old days
I miss the first time I got
a kiss under the mistletoe
I want one this year though
'Tis the season
And boy I been wishing
[Daria] Well, this has all
the signs of being delicious.
It's shaping up to be
a beautiful trifle.
Just layer it up with
your favorite berries
and some vanilla cake.
[Chef Ruby] All it needs now
is a little more cream.
Daria.
Wow. Okay.
Sam, are you getting this?
[Daria] This looks amazing.
Wow!
Well, thank you Chef Ruby.
This is a fantastic dessert
to bring to any dinner
with friends or family.
And I'm not trifling with you.
[they both laugh]
Seriously.
I forgot how much I
used to love baking
during the holidays.
Baking is power,
Daria. Embrace it.
Ugh. I used to bake all
the time during Christmas
with my mom and my Nana.
[Daria] I forgot
just how fun it is.
You know what they say?
Baking is love for
all your senses.
I love that quote, Ruby.
The role of my new cookbook,
"Ruby's Holiday Treats",
along with recipes for
all of these sweet treats.
Oh, well, we sure have learned
a lot today, haven't we, Mary?
I'm definitely going
to try those at home.
Thanks, Daria. And Merry
Christmas to you, Ruby.
And that's it for us today.
Stay warm. It's a
snowy one today.
[Floor Director] And we're out.
Thanks.
Hey.
Hey. That was a great segment.
Thank you.
I mean, Mary and
everyone, they're great,
but you really make this
show fun for the audience.
I just want our viewers
to have a Merry Christmas.
Well, I have a great
time filming it.
Now we feast.
Mm-hmm.
Daria, Sam, can I see
you in my office please?
Do you know what that's about?
Um, maybe a Christmas bonus.
Mm-hmm.
How can they let us all go
right before Christmas?
Scrooge would be proud.
[Sam] I thought the show
was getting great numbers.
[Daria] Hey, silver lining.
At least we don't have to
wake up early anymore.
I'm not going to lie, Daria,
I'm going to miss
our coffee breaks.
One last one for the road?
Double espresso over
ice with honey.
You get me.
That was literally my dream job.
I moved here from the
west for this job.
I thought I was going
to put down roots.
All I ever wanted was to
be a morning show reporter.
Good morning. This is
Daria Wallace reporting live.
[Sam laughs]
What?
Well, oh no, I'm not
laughing at you.
I just have the cutest
image in my head
of teenage Daria practicing
in front of the mirror
with maybe a hairbrush
for a microphone.
Practicing your lines.
It's just really cute.
You get me.
I do not want to move back.
I finally found an
apartment that I like
that doesn't feel
like a shoebox.
I hope I can keep my apartment.
I finally became
a camera operator.
I'm not just an assistant.
[both say together]
I did not see this coming.
[both say together]
Sorry. What were you saying?
You first.
It's been an honor to
work with you. It has.
I feel the same way.
We make a dynamic team.
Yeah, we do.
Let's keep in contact. Okay.
Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.
Good luck, Sam.
Break a leg out there, Daria.
Daria!
Hey Mom.
You were fantastic on
the show this morning.
You should see all
the comments online.
People love you.
They fired me.
No. Why?
Just cutbacks.
They are cutting the show
and taking from
the national feed.
Nothing personal.
Nothing personal?
Firing people right
before Christmas
feels like coal in
your stocking to me.
Very personal.
Tell me about it.
Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry.
You were so happy there.
Donna said I was the charm
that kept the lights
on at the station.
I guess they wanted
a different bulb.
Exactly. People tune in
to see your fun stories.
Tuned, you mean.
I just don't understand this.
My petting zoo piece last
summer got the highest ratings
they'd ever seen on the show.
I don't know what happened.
Ratings schmatings.
They're making a big mistake.
A little cookie therapy?
Forget therapy.
These will heal me.
Is this Nana Shirley's recipe?
No, that's Nana
Shirley's handwriting.
It's from her sister.
Your great aunt Charlotte.
Wow, that's so cool.
Remember how you used to
be obsessed with this recipe box?
Oh! Oh, sprinkle surprise.
I was quite the wiz with
my little toy baking oven.
You sure were.
I don't know why I haven't
done much baking since then.
Fast tracking your
journalism degree
and then studying long hours
and forging a career overnight.
You hardly had time
to microwave a meal,
let alone bake.
That's true.
Hey, is Nana Shirley
coming for Christmas?
Oh, I don't think so, honey.
She is so busy with her
hectic Florida schedule,
shuffleboard tournaments,
water aerobics,
and an exclusive Mahjong league.
Okay. I get why I was too busy.
But Nana Shirley's
been retired for years.
How can she not be
coming for Christmas?
[phone rings]
Oh, sorry, girls. One sec.
Hi, you beautiful.
Hi, Nana Shirley.
How can you not be
coming for Christmas?
Oh, I'm still on the fence.
It's a big trip and I'm
just settling in here, and,
well, how's my favorite
news reporter?
Actually, they fired me.
What?
Anyone that would fire you
should have their head examined.
Well, apparently
it's just layoffs.
I guess viewership was down.
Well, forget it.
You were outgrowing
that station anyway.
Thanks for saying that, Nana.
Listen to me, Daria.
You have a gift for
connecting with people,
and that's all that
matters in this world.
So don't you let
this get you down.
You get out there and look
for a place that deserves you.
You are officially
my new manager.
Oh, mwah!
Chin up Daria Jean.
You hear me?
Oh, I got to go. I'm holding
up the game here. Okay.
Ciao!
She's right, you know.
Getting back out there
is the best thing.
I suppose so.
Should I make up
some cookie tins
for prospective employers?
Can't hurt.
And don't forget to donate to
the Nordham Food
Pantry in our lobby.
Now get your spirit up with
these rocking Christmas tunes.
Hi!
How are you doing?
It's been while.
Yeah, I'm, I'm all right.
How's Robert?
Oh, we broke up months ago.
Really?
Yeah.
Then I can finally say that
guy was all wrong for you.
He just seemed like
the jealous type.
Yeah, definitely.
He did not love sharing
me with the public,
and he always felt like
I was cheating on him
with the morning updates.
Oh, speaking of sharing,
do you want to sit in with
me on the next segment?
I'm taking calls from
listeners with genius gift ideas.
That sounds so fun.
But I'm actually just around
spreading some Christmas cheer.
Ooh. These look delish.
And also wondering
if you're hiring?
Hiring?
Yeah. Looking for
a career change.
Okay. Well, over Christmas
we kind of scale back.
Uh, but come spring we'll
need roving reporters again.
Okay.
But I got to tell you,
Dar, it's freelance.
If I were you, I'd
stay where you are.
But if you're looking
for a career change,
have you ever thought
about podcasts?
Tell me what you love
about podcasting.
Oh yeah. Podcasting
is totally my jam.
Favorite three.
Um, True Crime something.
[Daria] The one
about the the cats.
Oh, wait, no,
I totally know one.
It has three famous guys.
So funny.
What makes you a great
Influencer Liaison?
- Influencer Liaison...
- [Interviewer's phone rings]
One second. One second.
Hello? Yeah yeah,
I'm not doing anything.
You are fantastic on camera.
But what about
your singing voice?
Can I sing?
Oh, you mean now?
Yeah, we won't be making
any decisions until the new year.
Hello?
[phone ringing]
Rude. It's Christmas,
don't you know?
Uh, yeah. Okay. Sorry. My bad.
Sam. Oh, no, no.
I'm just trying to set
up an interview here.
I've been presenting
myself on air forever,
but this is just...
[Daria] You have
my full attention.
Trust me. I hear you.
I was just calling to check
in. See how are you doing?
How's the job hunt going?
You hear back from anyone?
Oh, I've heard back.
Just not any good news.
At least you're hearing back.
Sometimes I wonder if these
online applications ever find
their way to a real human.
[microwave pinging]
[Daria] Tell me about it.
[microwave pinging]
What was that ping?
Oh, I'm, uh, just
having some leftovers.
Leftover leftovers.
Hey, how about you come
with me to my parents'
house tonight?
My mom's a really good cook
and I could use the buffer.
A buffer?
Yeah, they mean well.
But they want to know all
the details of my job search,
and, you know...
Say no more. A buffer it is.
That was delicious.
Thank you very
much, Mrs. Wallace.
Thanks Sam. It's Katrina.
What about this drive
home from work today?
Oh, what about all this snow?
I don't know about you guys,
but I actually
really love the snow.
Where I'm from, the sunshine
can be a little relentless.
Relentless sunshine,
sounds terrible.
[laughter]
Well, it was so nice
to meet you, Sam,
but if you'll all excuse me,
I'm going to get a
start on the dishes.
Please. Let me help.
Ah, no need to, but
I like this one.
Dad, he's just a
friend from work.
Oh, I like this
friend from work.
Thank you. Are these homemade?
They look professional.
My mom's the best
baker in the world.
I don't know about that.
It's not rocket science.
A lot of butter
and a great mixer.
Trust me, if I had made these,
they would not taste
like a Christmas miracle.
Nonsense. You are a
great little baker.
I keep telling her
that she can borrow
the family recipe box anytime.
All right, first off, this does
taste like Christmas magic,
but secondly, you have a
special family recipe box?
Mm-hmm.
More like a time capsule.
[Sam] Look at that.
This is vintage. Can I?
Yeah.
It gets handed down to
each new generation.
Wow.
Look at all these.
Comes with the stains
and everything.
Meringue snowman.
That sounds adorable.
Oh, I haven't made those
since Daria was little.
I used to line them up and
make them fight each other.
And then I'd eat the
whole battle scene.
[they all laugh]
Oh, look. Auntie Jeanie's pinwheel cookies.
You know what? I have an idea.
How many holiday
recipes are in the box?
I don't know. 20 or 30.
To me, that sounds
like a fun challenge.
Challenge?
Yeah. Baking your way
through the holidays
with old family recipes,
but doing it on camera.
Like an online channel.
And you could run it.
[Sam] Yeah. Come on.
It would be just like
the cooking segment
of the morning show.
Tomorrow's December 1st.
How would we get
that all organized?
I know how to operate a camera.
I can just go rent the gear.
See your first investor.
We could do like a
mother daughter live show.
Oh no. Count me out.
I've got a lot going on with
helping at the food pantry
and hosting Christmas.
You should do it though, Daria
By myself?
Yeah. You're amazing
in front of the camera
and you worked alongside
the cooks for the show.
You'd be great.
I haven't baked anything
myself in years.
That's not true.
There was that birthday
cake for your dad, but...
Oh, right.
That was the infamous
sugar salt mix up.
[Sam laughing] I'm never
going to let that one go.
Thank you for that.
Secondly, it doesn't
have to be perfect.
That's part of the charm
of the show, right?
Yeah. You can market
it on your socials.
You already have
a big following.
Okay,
if you're going to do it right,
you're going to use
the magic mixer.
I'm going to box it up for you.
Magic what?
Well, maybe if I had the
luck from the magic mixer.
Come on...
Okay. Okay.
Let's do it.
Perfect. So we've
got the magic mixer.
We've got a box of
tested family recipes.
We've got our star,
we've got a cameraman.
I'd say we've got a show.
Uh, now we just have to
figure out a name for it.
How about the family,
uh, holiday, uh...
[Sam and Daria together]
Baking challenge.
Okay. Three, two...
Welcome to the very first
Family Holiday Baking Challenge.
I'm Daria Wallace, and behind
the camera is Sam Bailey.
Hey, you.
You may know me from
"Good Morning Nordham",
but today I'm coming to
you live from my loft,
which we have turned
into a holiday studio.
Now this...
This isn't just an
old box to my family.
This is a treasure
chest filled with
sweet Christmas memories.
Every worn card,
every faded note
holds a holiday recipe
passed down from generation
to generation, with a couple of
new ones added along the way.
This very box filled
with love and tradition
and way too much
butter and sugar,
is exactly what inspired the
Family Holiday Baking Challenge.
These, these are some
of the amazing women
who have contributed
recipes to this box.
Here's my Nana Shirley.
My great Aunt Charlotte.
My mom Katrina.
And here's me in a waiting pool.
Okay. Wrong season.
So, this is the challenge.
We have 32 delicious
recipes to bake in 24 days.
Now, I'm not saying
it's going to be perfect.
In fact, there will likely
be some serious disasters
since I haven't done much
baking since I was a kid.
And last time I did,
I was using an oven
that was heated
with a light bulb.
But we're going to have fun and
I'm going to try my best.
And you've also got some
fun facts to share.
Right, Daria?
Mm-hmm. Cookie Crumbs!
Helpful hints and tips
supplied by my mom.
Now this is the
official cookie counter.
Well, we're going to be baking
more than just cookies,
but, um, told you it
wasn't going to be perfect.
Oh. And we are going
to be donating to
the Nordham Food Pantry.
You can click the
button down below,
or if you're a local,
you can head on down
to our favorite radio station
and donate any non-perishables.
Let's spread some
Christmas cheer to those
who need it the most,
right, Sam?
Yes, absolutely.
Everyone, don't take for
granted that there's enough
to eat this holiday season.
Donate generously, Nordham.
We're counting on you.
Let's take care of each
other out there, people.
Okay. It's time for
recipe number one.
Uh, you see people, this is
so much cooler than having
a recipe app on your phone.
Christmas sugar cookies,
a classic.
Where every baker should
begin their cookie journey.
Oh. And we are
going to be using...
This mixer passed down
through three generations
in my family.
We like to think it has
a little bit of magic.
Hey, this dough turned
out pretty good.
So you can use whatever
cookie cutter shapes you want.
I have Christmas trees,
snowman and stars.
Cookie Crumb!
If your dough is too soft,
it will stick to the
corners of the stars.
I'm going to be using
the Christmas tree.
Just make sure whatever
shape you choose
to put little holes in the top
so you can hang it
from your tree later.
Oh, Daria. I don't know if
that's always such a good idea.
Why? It looks so charming.
Well, just saying.
Be careful everyone at
home if you have pets.
One year we hung a bunch
of cookies on the tree
and our puppy, Bruiser,
was home all alone.
We came back, the tree
was knocked over.
All the cookies were gone.
Cookie crumbs everywhere.
Oh, not good.
Sorry to hear that.
Um, okay, so hanging
cookies on trees,
not necessarily pet friendly.
Fair enough.
Well, these cookies are
ready to go in the oven.
And I will be decorating
these cookies,
which I pre-baked last night.
Well, the third round,
which finally turned out.
Don't worry.
Nobody's judging you.
Are you all secretly judging me?
Okay.
Let me try that again.
Am I missing something here?
Um, I don't know, Daria.
Maybe use the lifeline.
Yes. Nana Shirley.
Hi, Nana Shirley.
[Nana Shirley on phone]
Hi beautiful. Oh wow.
Look at your whole setup.
I love it.
Oh, and who's
the cute cameraman?
That's Sam.
Um, Sam, meet my Nana Shirley.
Nice to meet you, Daria's Nana.
Oh, adorable.
Okay, so what's the problemo?
Here, let me patch her through.
Okay.
Oh, I see.
You just don't know
how to flood a cookie.
Flood, like with water?
No, no honey. It's a technique.
Instead of just splattering
it on there willy-nilly,
you draw an outline
around the cookie first.
Oh, okay.
And then you start spreading
out from the center.
Oh, but don't be shy.
It takes a lot of icing.
Royal icing, Nana Shirley.
Yes. And it can be as
fussy as Buckingham Palace.
Believe me.
Hey, this is really working.
Thanks for the Cookie
Crumb, Nana Shirley.
I remember when I
first made these.
Your mom was little and I
was trying to stage the perfect
Christmasy house because my
boss was coming for dinner.
Okay, here is the last part.
Oops.
Why are you nervous, Mom?
Is your boss mean?
No, he's not mean.
I just never had him
over to the house.
Is Daddy coming?
I'm afraid he's still out town.
But he's hoping I get
this promotion too.
What's a promotion?
It means work that I like better
and more money for us to
spend on food and clothes.
What about toys?
Well, I don't want to take
Santa's job away from him.
I know he got your letter.
How do you know that?
Oh, he talks to me all the time.
Gives me a ring.
That's how I know that butterscotch cookies
are his favorite.
Should we make that next
so we can put them out
for him on Christmas Eve?
Okay, let's go finish the tree.
How's this?
Oh, it's perfect.
Aww.
Oh, got to go kids.
Robert from room 307
is having a tiki party
and I have to find
my grass skirt.
[many notification dings]
Daria, the comment
section is blowing up.
Hmm. Well we will have
to have Nana Shirley back
so we can find out what happened
with her big promotional dinner.
But these cookies are
looking totally tree worthy.
Wouldn't you say Sam?
Absolutely.
What is it? What is it?
Well, I am going to be doing
the pre-baking tonight
and you will get to find
out what it is tomorrow.
Aw...
That's it for today, bakers.
Thanks for watching.
And don't forget to
like and subscribe.
And remember to donate
to the food pantry.
Yes. Every donation counts.
Bake it easy!
And we're...
[beeping]
And we're out.
That was a great first show.
Good job.
I don't know if I can keep
this off for another 23 days.
Daria, we had 200 views.
Come on. That's not
bad for day one.
We just got to keep
hitting socials.
Hey, maybe I can see
if Maryk will have us
on her radio show.
Brilliant idea. Yes.
Hey, thanks for
doing this with me.
I know it's a lot.
Well, thank you for getting us
both work over the holidays.
Unpaid work.
I still like it
and I don't want to be
doing anything else.
Hey, why don't I, uh,
order some takeout.
We can start prepping for
tomorrow. What do you say?
No, no, no. You should
go home and rest.
What am I going to do at home?
What?
Nothing. It's just,
it's nice to be around
a fellow workaholic.
[Daria laughs]
[muted]
[Daria] Oh!
[Sam] Whoa!
[Sam chuckles]
[Sam] All right. Ready? Ready?
Yep.
Oh, before I forget,
I got you something.
When did you have
time to get this?
We were here so late last night.
Open it.
I love it. Thank you.
I figured we could change it up.
Make the visuals
exciting for the show.
Okay. So let me
get this straight.
Not only are you co-producer,
director, camera operator,
assistant camera, but
now you're also wardrobe.
Yeah. I don't know if
you know this about me,
but I'm multi-talented.
[they both laugh]
All right...
So 10 seconds.
Okay.
Good.
Ready?
And three, two...
Hello cookie lovers.
Today we are taking on
mini gingerbread houses.
And you know what that means?
We get to eat a lot of candy.
Look at the color on these.
Yeah. We'll never know how
many we ruined last night.
Except now they do.
[snort chuckles]
Good thing that I made two,
because I am definitely going
to mess the first one up.
Or maybe it's an invitation
for some friendly competition.
You think?
Unless the audience does
not want to see that.
[message pings]
Oh wow. Yeah. Okay.
That's an overwhelming
Yes they want to
see a competition.
Come on.
Come on.
Okay
Everybody, this is Sam.
Come on.
Just be normal.
Hi everybody.
Okay, so these are the
pieces that we need
to make our mini
gingerbread houses.
So wait, we're going to
be assembling it with this.
Yep.
Why don't we just use glue?
Come on. They're
not going to know.
I would know.
Hey, I have a lot of family
pride riding in this.
Well, family pride prepare
to get your butt whooped
by a competitive cameraman.
I thought you said you
didn't know how to bake.
Maybe I do.
Oh wait, hold on.
What am I getting
myself into here?
Am I about to be the new host
of Baking with Betrayal?
Ready, set...
Gingerbread house.
Okay, wait. There's
only one piping bag.
So I think we have to share...
[struggle and splatting]
[screams] No no no!
Come on, go go!
Licorice on the front door?
Oh yeah. It's a daisho.
A what?
A daisho. You know when
the Samurai warriors would put
the crossing swords
above the door?
You learn something
new every day, folks.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh. Front walkway. Next level.
Well, thank you.
I don't know if it competes
with your icing rooftop though.
Oh, 30 seconds left.
[Sam] Go, go, go, go, go,
go, go, go, go, go.
[timer rings]
- Hands up!
- Time's up!
Okay. Let's see what
the audience has to say.
Oh, right. Yeah. Closeups.
Forgot I'm still
working the camera.
Lots of love for the
licorice front door.
Oh, and also on my
gumdrop roof line.
It's kind of looking
like it's a tie.
Well, someone says yes,
it's definitely a tie.
Someone else says it's a tie
because they're
such a good match.
Our numbers are way up.
Yeah, I can see that.
This is great.
Okay, let's just rewind.
Let's see what happened.
Oh, okay. It looks like...
- Right here.
- Yeah, that's right.
When you stepped out from
behind camera. [Laughs]
That's no surprise.
You're a superstar, Sam.
I think they just like
the chemistry between us.
Yeah. Uh, I'm, I'm hungry.
Do you want to get some food?
Yeah, we got a kitchen
full of gingerbread houses.
Amazing protein?
I know a great spot.
Let's do it.
[Sam] I'm telling you, you're
going to love this place.
They've got it
down to a science.
Sam, how's my favorite
camera wizard?
Ah, doing well. Doing well.
I brought reinforcements
this time.
Hi, I'm Daria.
Nice to meet you.
I know you. I see you
on my TV every morning.
Yeah. Um, well, not anymore
unfortunately, but, um,
Sam and I are working
on a project of our own.
Good to hear that.
So what'll be? Get you some
fuel for all this scheming?
Yes, absolutely.
I'm thinking for her first time,
two half racks, extra
smoky barbecue sauce
and the rustic hand cut fries.
It's a moral imperative.
I'm trusting you.
Mm. That sounds delicious.
You got it. Grab a seat.
I'll be right out with it.
Fellow barbecue nerds.
Hard to come by out here.
I bet that's true.
Thanks Jimmy.
Oh, so that was amazing
and delicious.
Oh, fall off the bone meat.
Mic drop.
Yeah. Because it's
the real deal.
Do you eat like
this all the time?
At home? Yes, absolutely.
I had my go-to spot.
It's amazing.
When I came here, I started
going through rib withdrawal.
It was awful.
But this place saved me.
Can't believe I've
never noticed it before.
Yeah. Are you sure
you've actually
spent your entire life here?
Pretty much. I moved to the
city for a broadcast school,
but I'm not much of
a big city person.
Yeah, you sound like me.
Grew up in a small
town and I prefer it.
Okay. So I can
finally ask you...
What? What'd I do?
Why on earth would you leave
all that beautiful sunshine
for upstate New York?
That's it?
That's your big question.
Yeah.
So very easily, I didn't want to
be a camera assistant anymore.
And I kept trying to
break through and come up
and it wasn't
happening where I was.
So I cast a wider net, got
a job here and I took it.
So you moved just for the job?
Yeah, pretty much.
And I was curious what a
real winter would be like.
What do you think so far?
Novelty hasn't worn off yet.
Everyone keeps telling me
to wait until mid-March.
I'll probably reevaluate
my life then.
True. But I love the snow
too. Don't get me wrong.
By the time summer comes
around, I am ready.
But I don't know, there's
just something about
being so cozy inside when
it's freezing outside.
What do you miss
most about home?
Oh, my family.
My family a lot.
My mom's a sweetheart
and I have a brother.
He's married, has a kid.
Oh, actually two kids.
Uh, he just had one.
I haven't met him yet.
I always wanted a
brother or sister.
When I was younger,
I would spend my time
getting lost in books or
playing my imagination games.
Imagination games?
What are those?
Just make-believe stuff.
I'd cut the bottom out
of a cardboard box
and paint the front
like a TV set.
And I'd put on shows from
the inside for my parents.
- Really?
- Yeah.
And what kind of shows?
Everything from news
to dancing competitions.
I even had a nature show.
I used my stuffed animals.
[with an accent] The amazing
life, the wild teddy bear.
Accent and all.
Mm-hmm.
That's really quite cool.
So basically you were
one of the kids that
pretended to be an astronaut
and then you actually
grew up to become one.
I guess.
I was pretty bossy too.
I had a remote control
out of cardboard
and I'd yell at my parents
to change the channel.
So not much has changed there.
[Sam laughs]
I'm kidding.
No, that's pretty amazing.
You and your brother
ever do stuff like that?
No. No, no, no. Not at all.
I guess it's pretty weird.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it like that.
No, I love that you
grew up doing that.
And I can picture little Daria
slating out a whole program,
network show for your parents.
And it's amazing.
Um, just in a small town,
the boys, all we did
was play football.
That's pretty much all you did.
Did it pay off?
Are you any good?
Okay. I can throw a ball
from point A to point B,
but not half as
good as my brother.
He was kind of a big
deal in high school.
So you're still
close with him then?
Yeah, absolutely.
He's my best friend.
I can't wait for
you to meet him.
He's going to love us together.
You know, for the show,
uh, on the show.
[Jimmy] So, anything
else for you two?
How about, uh,
some pie? Ice cream?
What'd I say?
Well, it's just that we've
been doing this holiday baking
show, so every single day
we're eating more desserts
than you can possibly imagine.
Holiday baking.
I know you've got that,
whipped shortbread you like.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
It's my favorite.
Of course, we are.
Uh, what about, uh,
like a peach cobbler?
Ooh, German chocolate cake,
chocolate, pecans, coconut.
Oh, that sounds amazing.
Coming right up.
[Daria] Yes.
Oh...
Make room!
[fun Christmas song begins]

Oh it's a beautiful
time of the year
[Daria] Today's recipe is
pinwheel cookies.
Thanks recipe box.
Cookie Crumb!
Use fun sprinkles.

And we don't have
to go nowhere
We'll spend our days
without a care
The snow keeps falling

I'll fall for you
Getting ready for
the yuletide
Hold my hand when
we go outside cause
Oh I love you most

Hi everyone. Today we are
making window cookies.

[Sam] Very nice.
Notice the technique
I love you most

So let's have a snow day

Let's have a snow day
Let's have a snow day

Let's have a snow day

You are my body by the fire
All night I'm

This snow's still falling

Falling for you

Holiday Baking Challenge,

Let's have a snow day
Oh, mm-hmm.
Yeah!

That's amazing.
- [music ends]
- [Sam laughs]
This peppermint bark
is my mom's favorite.
And mine.
[Katrina] Yo Hoo!
[Daria] Say her name and
she shall appear.
Oh, rats.
I haven't ruined
the filming, have I?
[Sam] No, no, no. We are live.
But come on in Katrina.
And now we smash.
Oh, I love smashing.
Even the most mild
mannered baker
likes to let off a little steam.
[they both laugh]
[smashing sounds]
I got to get in on this.
- Yes!
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- [smashing sounds]
- [laughter]
Okay. Okay. You know
what, that is great.
Thank you so much. Nicely done.
Okay, let's add it in.
Perfect.
Mom, would you like
to do the honors
of picking the next recipe?
Yes.
Okay, here we go.
Ooh. Nice.
Okay. Well that is
it for today, bakers.
Tomorrow we will see you with
some fruity mini marshmallows.
Bake it easy!
Bake it easy!
And we're out.
[Sam] The viewer's loved
that your mom stopped by.
[Daria] Yeah, such
a nice surprise.
Ugh. I am exhausted.
Well, we're going to have
to pull some bigger days
if we want to get
through it all.
Mm-hmm.
[Sam chuckles]
What?
What?
Nothing. Nothing.
Yikes.
Come on. I'm too lazy
to get up. Just tell me.
Okay. Betty from Montana,
she says,
Sam can be my
peppermint bark any day.
Okay. Now I understand
the look on your face.
It gets better.
Irene from Baltimore, she says,
They're so cute together.
Is anyone watching this
for the recipes anymore?
[Daria] Continue.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
It's uh, it's getting
a little out of hand.
They're coming up
with ship names.
- No way.
- Oh, yeah, yeah.
Tell me, let's go.
So there's a war going on.
Half the people want Sam-Maria
and the other half of
the people want Darium.
Darium. What?
That sounds like something
you pick up at the pharmacy.
Take two darium before meals...
To prevent further sam-maria.
[they both laugh]
Sam-maria is way better, right?
Yeah.
What?
[Sam] Nothing.
Your face just got all sad.
No. Did it?
Sam, you can tell me anything.
I just don't want to
be a joke to you.
You're not a joke to me.
No, I mean, like, I want you
to think that I'm funny.
You're very funny.
I just also want you
to take me seriously.
You are seriously very funny.
Sam, I think you're great.
I think you're great too.
[message notification]
Maryk wants to have us on
the radio to interview us
because the donations have
been piling in from the show.
That's great.
Yeah. Isn't that amazing?
[Sam] You just do
it so effortlessly.
[Daria] Don't be nervous.
There won't be any
hard hitting questions.
No, I know. I know.
I'm just not used to
this on camera stuff.
It's radio.
Right.
Wow. Daria Wallace.
Do you think I could get
an autograph for my niece?
Yeah. What's your niece's name?
Martha.
Well actually it's for me.
I'm Martha.
I haven't been watching
the morning show lately.
You haven't been on.
Yeah, they canceled the
whole show. Part of the show.
You were the best part
of the news team.
That's so sweet. Thank you.
But you know, Daria's
got her own channel now.
You should look it up online.
Thank you. I'll tune in.
[Daria] Right. Merry Christmas.
And tell your friends.
Daria's back!
She's got her own channel.
I'm so sorry about that, Sam.
What are you talking about?
What are you apologizing
for? That was awesome.
- It was?
- Yeah.
Come on. I'm like walking
around with a celebrity.
You just got noticed
on the street.
Plus we just got a new fan.
She's going to go tell everyone.
Come on. That was just so cool.
According to my ex-boyfriend,
that's actually like the
least cool thing ever.
Really?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure
that's why we broke up.
Because you have fans
and you're amazing.
Come on. I mean, how
insecure can a guy get?
So neither of you
are the every year
around the holiday
I have to bake kind of baker?
Is that right?
No, I mean, I'm not really
an anything kind of baker.
Baking runs as a
tradition in my family,
but I just hope some
of it rubbed off on me.
No lies. She's a great baker.
She's just being modest.
Most of the recipes
have turned out great.
Keyword. There is most.
[Sam] So the shortbread
was a little tough.
[Daria] I'm feeling a lot
of shame about it, Maryk.
I bet. You're taking
this very seriously.
But I have to ask,
any plans on getting back
to television, Daria?
I mean, I would
definitely consider it,
but it's more about if
they would consider me.
Well anyway, people can check
out this online show now,
up until Christmas Eve.
[Maryk] The gingerbread
house episode was hilarious.
You two are having a
lot of fun with this.
Yeah, it's a lot of
holiday shenanigans.
And what about
behind the scenes?
Uh, we just do our best not
to eat all the
desserts for dinner.
No, I mean,
is there any romance in
the air between you two?
Um...
[Maryk] Whoops. Seems like
I hit a live wire there.
You don't have to answer that,
but reading the
comments in your feed,
I'd say it's definitely
on the minds of your fans.
[whispers] I'm so sorry.
[Maryk] Uh, why
don't I play a song?
Let's rock around
the Christmas tree.
Merry Christmas!
And bake it easy!
Oh,
I did not mean to put
you on the spot like that.
I honestly thought
you were a couple.
No, it's okay.
Totally, totally fine.
No, we could use the PR
and we are the couple
that isn't, the spinoff.
Just really appreciate
you doing this show promo.
Oh, of course.
It's the least I can do after
you calling out the food drive.
Donations are way up this
year, thanks to your shout outs.
[doorbell rings]
Oh, here we go.
I'll get the door, Mom.
Thank you sweetie.
[Young Katrina] Welcome to
our home, Mr. and Mrs. Harper.
This way.
Aren't you darling.
You must be Katrina.
Hey ya kid.
- Hi Henry.
- Hey.
- And hello Bonnie.
- Hi.
It's so nice to finally
meet you, Shirley.
Henry has told me
so much about you.
Please let me take your jackets.
I'm so sorry Bill
couldn't be here.
He's off on a sales trip.
Oh, next time.
Please come in.
Let's have a seat before dinner.
You have a lovely home.
Thank you.
What manners.
If only our kids were
half as nice as this.
Too late for them.
They're already in college.
We're trying to save
up for that hurdle.
Katrina's going to college?
Of course I am.
Well, good for you kid.
It ain't cheap, that's for sure.
Well, maybe if you moved
up to the sales department,
Shirley, it might make
things a little bit easier.
Oh.
I'm rooting for you.
Well, that certainly would
be the modern choice now,
wouldn't it?
Well, the company needs
to get with the times.
Women are in the workforce
in every sector now.
And insurance shouldn't
be any different.
I'd love the chance
to prove myself,
but I understand there
are other candidates.
I would have to consider
the men in the running.
What? Like Tony?
He's hardly a man.
He's still in the mail room.
But he just got married.
He would need to provide.
Well, Shirley needs to
provide too. You heard her.
They're saving up for college.
It's not the same.
Shirley has a husband
bringing in pay.
Henry, that's hardly the point.
She's earned the promotion.
I know, I know.
Don't throw it down my throat.
I haven't decided yet.
Oh, that's okay.
Well, shall we eat?
Yeah, I'm starved.
Something smells great in here.
Thank you.
I'm serving Coq au Vin.
Oh.
Pretty chic.
Merci.
Everyone wanted to make
Coq au Vin back then.
It was so popular.
I love this story, Nana Shirley.
And if I weren't about to
mess up this pie right now,
I'd ask you to keep going.
But, these apples
are going everywhere.
Well spread more applesauce.
Oh, okay.
And more apples be generous.
Hmm. Cookie Crumb!
Add lots of apples.
You got it.
Now, more hands are
a big help this time.
Oh, that's my cue.
All right, let's rock and roll.
Scoot over.
Yep. Keep going. You got it.
I'm off to the next hole.
- I mean...
- Yeah. Okay.
You know what?
For what it lacks
in presentation,
I think it will make
up for in taste.
[message ping]
Uh, somebody says A
for effort. At least we tried.
I mean that's, that's nice.
Aw, our viewers are so nice.
That was my dad, wasn't it?
Yes it was.
[message ping]
He says he's swinging by
for pie and coffee later.
Nice.
Hey Sam. We actually did it.
You know, I'm not mad at it.
Pie for the win.
Thumbprint cookies.
Definitely not a win.
These just look like pancakes.
Well, you could smother
them in maple syrup.
Fry up some bacon. You've
got a pretty good breakfast there.
I guess...
Pfeffernsse!
These are one of the
oldest recipes in our box.
Good old, great Aunt
Charlotte brought them
into our family tradition.
My dad loves them.
He bakes a huge
batch every year.
He brought us some. See!
[sniffs]
They smell amazing.
Mine?
Um, well...
Might make it in a family
tradition one year.
[she stabs at the cookies]
Hey Daria.
I bet they'd be great
on top of ice cream.
Hmm...
Cookie Crumb!
Today. That's literal.
Ice cream toppings.
Bake it easy.
And we're out.
Thanks for the save, Sam.
I got you.
Your great Aunt Charlotte
would be proud.
Seriously.
Oh, all these problems.
I can't do this.
Yeah. Well, our audience
doesn't really love it either.
Reviews are down, aren't they?
Yeah. They're down
just a little bit.
But it's no big deal.
Why did I think anyone
would want to watch me bake?
I'm a disaster.
Hey, that's my friend
you're talking about.
And for your information,
donations for the
charity have tripled.
- Really?
- Yeah. Look.
See.
[Sam] Look. It's all good.
You always know what to say.
Hey, why don't we
get out of here.
Let's get some Jimmy's barbecue.
It'll make us feel better.
What do you say?
Okay.
Okay. This is cheering me up.
All right. See.
There's nothing that a little
smokey barbecue can't cure.
How can you be so upbeat?
Our audience was so down today.
Because it's all part
of the natural flow
of having a hit
online baking show.
I mean, come on.
The way that I see it,
it's all happening as a natural
part of the Christmas chaos.
It's just a crazy time of year.
Everyone's out there, you know,
competing for toys and
clothes and knickknacks.
I mean, didn't your
parents ever get stressed
during this time of year?
I mean, mine sure did.
Yeah. My mom was
exhausted some years.
Yeah, mine too.
And sometimes when she
was exhausted or stressed,
she always add a
little catchphrase.
A little mantra.
Perfection is overrated.
She's right. You're right.
Oh, no, no. Don't give me
the credit for it. It's all her.
She's always right. And she
likes to be told that too.
But what I can tell you,
and it's all mine,
is don't forget, this
is bigger than cookies.
It is?
Yeah. Yeah, of course it is.
We're raising money for
charity. We're entertaining people.
We're, we're sharing
your family recipes.
We are literally embodying
the Christmas spirit
with what we're doing.
Yeah. Okay.
This is bigger than sugar.
Exactly.
Daria, why don't you
take the night off?
Just relax.
Don't pre-bake anything.
We can come in tomorrow
and we can wing it.
What's on the schedule anyway?
Oh, come on. It's date cookies.
We could do that in our
sleep. It's easy peasy.
Okay.
Seriously. I do not know
how you got everything done
during the holidays.
Oh, I didn't really
do that much.
Are you kidding me?
From decorating the
whole front of the house
to Santa and his elves
on the front lawn.
You had bows on the mantle,
garlands on the staircase.
And not to mention
all of the baking and
cooking that you did.
We were still taking sweets
out of the freezer in March.
That was great.
Oh, I was just so
excited for Christmas.
Especially when you were little.
I loved getting you
special presents.
Do you remember those mini
stuffies you loved so much?
Oh yeah, yeah.
There was the purple llama
and then the four leaf clover.
It was like a treasure hunt.
I went to so many stores.
Oh. And that one year I
finally found that little
take care of your pet game
way at the back of the shelf.
I was so happy, I did a
little dance in the shop.
[they both laugh]
You know, I still have that.
You made Christmas
so special for me.
Thank you.
Oh, well your Nana
Shirley set the bar.
She raised me the same
way with all the magic.
And one day you are
going to pass it on too.
Yeah.
Hey, and thank you so
much for all your help
with this baking challenge.
I didn't do much.
You are doing the actual work.
Well, you supplied equipment,
helpful baking tips,
and inspiration.
You've done a lot.
I know how you can
return the favor.
Absolutely. What can I do?
Help me find something to get
for your father for Christmas.
I am out of new ideas.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
You guys have been
married for so long.
I feel like you've probably
gotten him everything.
Well, exactly.
And he's the person I
know best in the world.
Not me.
I've known him longer.
That's true.
Richard is my best friend.
The love of my life,
my forever person,
my soulmate.
Okay. I get it.
Hmmm...
Maybe you could do a redo.
And give him the same
gift as last year.
No, I, I mean, think of
a gift he really loved.
And maybe you can
redo it somehow.
Oh, when you were a toddler,
Nana Shirley babysat you
and I gave your
dad a weekend away.
Just the two of us.
We played golf and had a
lovely steak dinner after.
Hey, now you wouldn't
have to wait
for a special
weekend to do that.
True.
Can you think of anything else?
I know. I found this
beautiful leather briefcase
and it was on sale and I
had his initials put on it.
It was so lovely
looking that he said
that briefcase got him promoted.
Mm-hmm. He still uses that.
Yeah.
Hmm.
What a proper gift from a
young lady to a young man.
Well, I thought so.
Oh, your dad really loves it.
Oh. And it's also
getting very worn.
Hey.
[together] Shopping trip!
[phone ringing]
Well, hello there, Mother.
How are you?
Is there something
you want to tell me
about that Daria girl?
You're like two peas
in a pod on that show.
You just launched
right into it, huh?
There's no, hey, your father
and I miss you so much.
How are you? I'm great,
Mom. Thanks for asking.
Good to hear.
And...
Yes, I, uh, I really do like
her, but we're just friends.
It seems like more
when I'm watching.
So how's the new grandson?
Oh, he is a champion
eater already.
I tell you that kid's going to
be taller than your brother.
Yeah. Well, I can't
wait to meet him.
We can't wait to see you
sometime after this
big baking challenge.
I know.
Oh, hey, I, uh,
I ran into your old boss
at the supermarket yesterday.
He's very impressed
by your camera work.
Wait, Travis saw the show?
Don't be so surprised, he's
interested in your career.
Yeah, he was so interested,
he couldn't give me a promotion
over the course of five years.
Well, it could be that you left
right before all of
that was going to happen.
Yeah. Or it was never
going to happen, Mom.
He's just interested now
that someone else wants me.
Well, either way, this could
mean a future for you
back at channel nine.
Yeah, I'll believe
it when I see it.
How's Dad doing?
Good. He misses you.
I mean, he'll never tell
you that, but he does.
I miss you guys too.
These date cookies were
added to the recipe box
back in the eighties when
everyone was on a health kick.
My mom's not a huge fan.
She likes to add
chocolate to hers.
See, it says right here.
Sprinkle in chocolate
to make them taste better.
I think I'm with Nana
Shirley on this one though.
[message ping]
She says that a
proper date cookie
can out taste a brownie any day.
My own Cookie Crumb?
No chocolate.
Sam closeups.
Sam...
What? Um, yeah, of
course, closeup.
And, uh, um, don't forget.
We have to get another
recipe from the box
On it.
Wow. Full-time position
as head camera operator.
I mean, that's the
dream, isn't it?
Yeah, it was the dream
until we started this.
I mean, that's
apples and oranges.
We've been doing
like a fun experiment.
Yeah, but I thought we
were building something.
Yeah. And it's been amazing.
But this little experiment
turns into a pumpkin
on Christmas Eve,
which is next weekend
if you didn't already notice.
Yeah, I know.
And he asked if I would come in,
shoot the rest of the holiday
content before Christmas Day,
but I can just ask to
start in the new year.
That way I'm not leaving
you in the lurches
for the last few days
of the challenge.
Listen, listen.
I really appreciate what
you're saying right now.
And selfishly, I would
love for you to stay.
You cannot lose out on this job.
I don't want to walk
away from this.
I don't want you to miss this
opportunity for six recipes.
It's seven.
Seven recipes.
Sam, I am not going to stand
in the way of your success.
You really want me to go?
Sam, I am really happy for you.
I'll see you around.
[sobbing]
[sniffles]
You two aren't supposed
to see me like this.
What happened?
He gave the promotion to Tony.
Honey, I'm so sorry.
You deserved this.
It wasn't meant to be, I guess.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You'll get the
next one for sure.
Nope, it's not a possibility.
Why not?
Because he fired me.
What? Why?
When he told me all about
how much Tony needs
the job more than me.
It was more than I could take.
Oh oh. What did you do?
I guess I told him what I
thought of his decision.
And then he said that
he wasn't going to
promote me anyway,
because I'm much too forward.
Whatever that means.
Are you laughing at me?
I'm sorry.
I just love picturing you
giving the Henry the what for?
He wouldn't know progress
if it snuck up and
bit him in the butt.
I hate his cologne anyway.
Now you don't have to
work on the holidays.
Aw, that's what I
call it, bright side.
You are going to find
something better.
I just know it.
What did I do to
deserve you two?
Don't be mad.
I started the church
windows without you.
What?
And they're not going so well.
Let's go have a look.
[Young Katerina]
It's time for the oil now.
I want to help.
Okay.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa!
That's enough!
Ooh, that feels nice.
Here. Feel that.
Ooh, that does feel nice.
[sniffs]
And it smells nice too.
Mmmm. Should we mix it now?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
[mixer whirrs]
Whoa!
So not only did you
not get the promotion,
but they fired you?
Well, to be fair,
I did say some pretty
unprofessional things that day.
Still. I bet the people are
not happy to hear that.
What are the comments in
the feed saying, Dad?
[many message pings]
Dad?
Yeah. Uh, right here.
What are some of the
comments in the feed?
Oh, the feed.
Um, I, I get that over here.
Yeah. Can you just read
some of them out loud?
Um, Wendy says, so many
feels I heart Nana Shirley?
And, uh, Pam from Palm
Springs says that
I do not heart that Henry,
she should have
got the promotion.
And then there's one that
says, where's Sam? I miss him.
Oh.
Thanks for your support, everyone.
But don't feel sorry for me.
And look at those
church windows.
They're going to look
exactly like stained glass
when they're done.
Finally redeeming myself
with a no bake recipe.
And are you going to tell
people what happened to Sam?
Yeah. Yeah.
So, uh, we have a
new camera operator.
My dad, Richard.
He very kindly volunteered
his time to help me out.
So thank you, Dad.
Come say hi.
Oh, he's feeling
a little shy right now.
But great news,
Sam got an amazing
job offer back home,
so he decided to go for it.
Oh, look at these
church windows.
So cute.
Well, thanks for watching.
Stay festive.
[phone rings]
[Nana Shirley]
You okay, beautiful?
Yeah, I'm, I'm fine.
Well, not to pile on with the
crowd, but I kind of thought
you were sweet on
each other too.
[Nana Shirley]
Pardon the pun.
We were, I mean, we are.
You and Mom always taught me
that a career is important
and I don't want to get in the
way of this opportunity,
Right...
Yes and no. I get it.
[Nana Shirley]
I'm here if you want to talk.
I love you Nana Shirley.
Right back at you, Daria.
Daria, you're a
sight for sore eyes.
Hey, Jimmy, what's new?
With me? Not much.
What's going on
between you and Sam?
What do you mean?
What do I mean? He went home.
Yeah. He got a good job.
I know that. Why did you
tell him to take it?
Well, I couldn't offer
him anything permanent.
Are you crazy?
He loves you more than
brisket loves a smoker.
He really does.
What? No.
The way he looks at you.
I can't believe
you'd tell him to go.
I care about him.
I want him to pursue his dreams.
Well, I think you're part
of that dream, Daria.
[sad music starts]

Tell me baby
are you coming home

Yes darling
I'm coming home

Snow is falling
I'm all alone

Yes darling
I'm coming home

Everything's all right
Christmas lights
are shining bright

And there's a star
up in the sky
[message ping]
It shines for you and I
And lights the winter road
back home tonight
Well, folks, it is
Christmas Eve Day.
You know what that means.
It is the final day of the
Family Holiday Baking Challenge.
As you can see, our
official cookie counter,
we only have one recipe left.
Sam convinced me to save
this recipe for last
because it's the only one that
both of our families
have in common.
We have a version of
dark chocolate cookies
in our family recipe box.
And Sam's family
has the tradition
of eating dark chocolate
cookies on Christmas Eve.
So this goes out to
Sam and his family.
Hi, you.
[mixer whirring]
Whew. Sam was right.
That was easy.
Now note, we have to dip
these cookies in white chocolate
and add festive sprinkles.
Sorry, Nana Shirley.
But this is the
Bailey family way.
I guess I should write that
on the back of the recipe card.
Now I'm the one adding
to the classics.
Now we have to dip the
cookies in white chocolate.
And then we add a
dust of sprinkles.
[phone rings]
Then we get a call from Nana.
Hi, Nana Shirley.
Hi ya kid.
I'm just watching
the show and well,
it looks like the lifeline
needs to call you.
Thanks. But Dad and I have
it covered, right, Dad?
[Nana Shirley] I know that.
I'm just calling to show
support for those cookies.
Thanks. Hope you don't mind
that we're using white chocolate.
Are you kidding? I love it.
Tradition is important,
but you also need to be
flexible enough to change.
Oh, hold on honey,
here's a flyer.
Ah, there you go.
This one, good to go?
Yeah. That looks great.
I'm so proud of you.
[Nana Shirley] Who knew
that baking and coconut oil
would lead to a best
selling face cream.
Love you Nana Shirley.
Wish you were coming
for Christmas.
Aw, call me from
your mom's place.
I will I just have to finish
the rest of these cookies.
Well, white chocolate
chocolate cookies.
Check.
Hey, let's say we take this
live stream on the road.
Hey guys, do you all
want to visit my mom
and see the house
that I grew up in?
I love you, Mom.
Thanks for all the help
answering my baking questions
and Mom and Dad for eating
the finished products.
Dad, do you want to pack up
early and we'll hit the road?
Okay.
[Richard] All right. Oh, and
don't forget your mom's mixer.
Oh, here, let me take
that off your hands.
Oh, it's freezing out there.
Especially when you're
dressed for a video set.
Your mom's probably
in the kitchen.
Oh, well, folks, this
is where it all began.
Oh no, don't film in here.
It's a complete mess,
Mom. Everyone's kitchen is
a mess on Christmas Eve.
See, this is the work
of a real professional.
[knocking at door]
We expecting someone?
I'll get it.
Oh, hey, hey. Get in here.
Get out of the cold.
Sam?
I heard someone was baking
shortbread cookies.
What are you doing here?
Uh, wait, are we still live?
Still live.
Okay, good because I've
got something I want to say.
And since you guys started
the baking journey with us,
I kind of feel like
it's appropriate
to have you here with us now...
To watch me do this.
Daria, this has been the best
December of my entire life.
Easily, aside from the fact that
we got fired at the
beginning of it.
But I do believe we were
thrown together for a reason.
I wanted to tell you that
this isn't some little
experiment for me.
So from the thumbprint
pancake cookie disaster
to supporting you
and watching you
taking care of your
fans on the street,
you're the most amazing woman
I've ever met in my entire life.
What about your job offer?
I don't want to be
with anybody else.
I don't want to be with
anyone else either.
So from baking,
traveling adventures,
I don't care what we
do or where we go.
As long as I'm with you,
You get me.
Okay, folks, we're going to
have Christmas Eve dinner now.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
And thanks for watching.
Oh, did you see today's tally
for the Nordham food donation?
Is it good?
Yeah, it's really good.
Here, look.
That's amazing.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
[doorbell rings]
What in the world?
Merry Christmas.
You came!
I couldn't spend
Christmas without my family.
Ma'am, it is such a pleasure
to finally meet you.
Don't you ma'am me.
Get in here.
I feel like I know you already.
Thank you. Likewise.
It's been such a pleasure.
Oh, you're so cute.
Oh. Oh, guys. Hi!
Come. Look how busy
you've been. Oh my goodness!
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
I wonder how many times this
mixer has whipped cream.
Hey, Mom, I brought
your recipe box back.
Just a few more sticky fingerprints on it.
You know what?
I think it's time
that you became
the keeper of the
holiday recipes.
Hey, why don't we
get them digitized
then everyone in the
family can use them.
Cookie Crumb!
[they all laugh]
I can get it done
at the library.
They have all the scanner
bells and whistles there.
Mom, I was thinking maybe
you and I can audition for
the new channel to do a mother
and daughter cooking show.
The people would love that.
Nana Shirley, you
got so many likes.
Well, I suppose I
can be persuaded.
There's a lot of life
left in this mixer yet.
Yes, there is.
Speaking of mixers,
would you two ladies join
me in the living room?
Okay.
Oh, a new magic mixer.
It's gorgeous.
Well, since I was hoping
to keep your mixer,
I had to get you one.
Thank you. I love it.
Well, and I accept the challenge
to co-host my lovely
daughter's cooking show.
And I think I know what
would make a great episode.
Baking a wedding cake.
[both say together]
But not until spring.
Well, Merry Christmas!
[they all laugh happily]
[upbeat Christmas music]
