Falling for Christmas

Good morning, Miss Belmont.

This is your wake-up call.

- The temperature is 35 degrees. - Goodbye.

Would you like me to send up your...

So, just say no.

Tell your father you don't want the job.

He flew me all the way up here in his private jet for Christmas.

I don't want to hurt his feelings.

Wow. Good morning, Miss Belmont.

I'm Terry Carver from Guest Services. Your father has asked me

to work as your personal assistant while you're here.

And this is your Glam Squad.

Fine.

It's just that I don't want to be in the hotel business.

Have you tried telling him that?

Mm. Daddy wouldn't understand.

As far as he's concerned, this is the perfect career for me.

I'm just trying to imagine what you'd have to wear.

Not a name tag, I hope.

- What exactly is the position? - Vice President of Atmosphere.

It's not even a real job. I think he just made it up to give me something to do.

And, you know, it's hard enough for me as it is.

When people look at me, all they see is the spoiled daughter

of Beauregard Belmont, the hotel magnate. And I'm not spoiled!

Dress or slacks?

I don't know. Is that pleather?

Vegan leather.

Oh, Tad, help me! I need to make my own mark in the world.

Okay, okay.

How are your socials doing?

Not good. I told you my accounts were hacked by that girl, remember?

Ugh! Right. Lucky you're dating one of Hype Magazine's

top social influencers then.

So you remind me every day.

After lunch with your father,

why don't we hit the slopes and snap a few ussies? Hmm?

Post them on Instagram.

I thought you wanted to keep our relationship private.

Well, maybe it's time we let the world in on it.

Talk about boosting your numbers.

And it will prove to your father you could have a career as an influencer too.

Yeah, I just want people to remember me for more than my last name.

You leave it to your Tad.

Oh, trending down.

Time for a selfie in a limo. See you soon.

Okay, I love... Hello?

Bad connection?

Something like that. Let's go with the Valenyagi.

- Good choice. - And a fabulous hat.

Mr. Belmont!

Hey! Glad I caught you.

Hi. Hey. Uh, I'm Jake Russell. I own the...

- The North Star Lodge. - Yeah.

Yeah, my secretary mentioned you called.

- Fifteen times. - Was it that many?

So, what's the urgency?

I just wanted a minute of your time if I could.

Sure.

But you're gonna have to beat me to the bottom of the run.

- Seriously? - Well, what do you think?

Falling behind, boy!

Better get moving!

Good run.

Yeah, I thought I had you there for a minute, but you got me in the end.

Let's go. You can talk while we walk.

Thanks, Skyler.

Wow, this place looks like something out of SpaceX.

Well, we try to stay ahead of the curve.

In here.

Wow. Well, you have an incredible place here, sir.

It's, uh, truly a world-class skiing destination.

But, you know, not everybody can afford world-class.

Studies show that 70% of beginners learn to ski at these smaller resorts.

Like yours.

Exactly. And then as they become more accomplished and better skiers,

then they move up to the mega-resorts, like this one.

And you think that I should invest in your lodge

in order to make sure that this keeps happening, correct?

Uh, more or less, yeah.

Oh, Skyler. Cocoa?

- Um, sure. - Two please.

Of course, Mr. Belmont.

But I have the numbers here for a cost-effective upgrade,

a high-speed lift, you know, building on a spa with a hot tub, sauna...

Mr. Russell, I wish I could help you, but I have my own investors to answer to.

- I'm sure you understand. Thank you, dear. - Well...

Here you go. On the house.

- And anything else he may need today. - Of course.

If you'll excuse me, I gotta run.

Oh, and, uh, pretty classy out there letting me win.

Well done.

This is security. Alert the staff. Miss Belmont is on the move.

So, did he bite?

- No, he did not go for it. - Ah, bummer.

- Well, yeah. It was a long shot anyways. - Sorry, man.

- Yeah. See you back at the lodge. - Okay. See you soon.

Okay. Well, I'm in the lobby. I don't see you.

Well, I'm in the lobby,

and let's be honest, I'm pretty hard to miss.

Look, I'm by a tapestry that goes really well with my jacket.

Excuse me.

Now I'm in the lounge by the fireplace.

- Oh, hey! - Ah!

- Oh! - I'm wearing Valenyagi...

- Oh, my... - Oh, my God!

I am so sorry. I didn't see you there.

My Valenyagi!

Oh, I'd happily pay for your dry cleaning, or get some club soda...

What happened, sweetie?

Oh, no!

Not the Valenyagi!

- Oh! You're making it worse. - Oh!

- He ran right into me. - It was an accident!

You know, I came around the corner, she was coming around,

- and we just, wham, a chocolate thing. - Is everything all right?

- I'm a little flustered, but thank you. - Tad!

Oh, but this local yokel just body slammed my girlfriend

and ruined her haute couture onesie.

- Again, I'm so sorry. It was an accident. - Look, mate. Just go, all right? Just go.

That way.

Yeah. Yeah. Easy with the finger.

Would mademoiselle care for the artisanal, house-smoked bacon on her wedge salad?

No, thank you. I don't do bacon.

Very well.

So, Ted, how is this online internet business thing of yours going?

It's Tad, Daddy. And it's not a business thing.

Tad's an influencer. Millions of people follow him.

Basically, you're a salesman.

So how long have you two been seeing each other now?

Almost a year, Mr. Belmont.

I think it's time you call him Beauregard.

Right, Daddy?

Oh! Okay.

Anyway, Beau.

You know how it is. One day...

there she is.

In the coffee shop of life.

Sierra is a venti.

Trending!

Oh!

Hi.

- Hi, Jake. - Hi, how's it going? Hey, buddy.

Oh, come on.

- Everything all right? - Hey, Jake.

Trying to get this one going, but it's not happening.

Okay. Yeah, just leave it in the shed, and I'll get to it later.

You got it.

Hey! Where you guys going?

Dad! The Christmas Wish Tree, remember? Mom took us every year.

- That's right. - And now it's Grandma's job.

Jake! Why don't you come with us?

Well, as fun as that sounds,

I have guests that want a sleigh ride, so I'll take a snow check this time.

But would you do me a favor? Would you put in a good word with Santa for me?

I need all the help I can get.

I take it things didn't go well?

Belmont was literally the last resort.

If the rest of the season's this way, I don't think...

We just need a little patience.

What we need is a miracle.

Haven't you heard, Dad? Christmas is a time for miracles.

- Right, Grandma? - That's right.

Well, I love your optimism.

All right. Yeah. Bring me back something good.

Yeah. I'm ready to leave for the airport. Could you have my car brought around?

- Yes, Mr. Belmont. - Oh, good. You're still here.

- Oh, hi! - I didn't wanna miss you before you left.

Well, I'll be back by the weekend.

We will get you set up in your new office.

I was thinking the one next to mine if that's okay?

Oh, Daddy. About the job...

Yeah?

Well, it's just that...

I just don't wanna disappoint you.

I don't think you could do that, honey.

Oh, I haven't seen this in a while.

Your mother gave me that in Gstaad.

She said that the little girl reminded her of you.

I'm surprised you remember.

You were only five when she...

I remember her perfume and her laugh.

How she used to brush my hair.

This hotel reminds me so much of her.

I still miss her.

Me too.

I promised your mother I'd take care of you.

You have.

I mean, you've given me everything I've ever wanted.

Okay.
