The Holiday Fix Up

are you ready to see your new living room?

Follow me.

By refinishing this beautiful fireplace,

I was able to bring this entire space to life,

and with Christmas coming up, I added some festive touches.

This stocking holder from our sponsor,

the Home Shop, is one of my favorites.

Also, to keep your new space clean,

we are gifting you the Shark VacMop.

It's a vacuum and a mop.

So tell us, what do you think?

Cut!

Let's go. We're behind schedule. Take that, please.

We didn't even get to see what they thought.

You know that's my favorite part.

We can film them giving a reaction later.

We'll edit it in in post.

I didn't even get to give them a hug.

We can fix that in post, too. Now, let's go.

We are behind schedule.

So I added an electric griddle

and then my favorite copper sink.

How do you like it?

Cut!

And I added this beautiful tub for you.

So how do you like it?

Cut!

The cover turned out great!

Sam, you okay?

Power nap.

Okay, I'm back. What's up next?

Oh, we need to discuss a theme for the live Christmas special.

I was thinking a Santa's workshop angle.

Uh, about that...

Uh, the network has decided to give the live special

to Hailey.

What?

Hailey?

Yeah. But I was gonna add 10 more homes

to feature on the special.

No host has ever renovated 50 homes in a single year.

Josh, no one works harder than me,

and especially Hailey?

Now, look, you're killing it.

But Hailey's a new face.

The network wants to see how she'll handle it.

Her social media's through the roof.

Millions of followers. I know, I know.

Okay, I'm gonna get my numbers up.

I'm gonna start posting more.

It's about opening up,

recapturing some of that Sam magic that everyone loved

in those online videos that you started with.

All you ever share now is work.

People want to see more of your personal side.

You know, what do you do when you're relaxing at home?

I'm sorry. My personal side?

Yeah, all in between shooting 40 episodes a year.

Look, my home is my suitcase.

Then this is the perfect time to start.

Your show's done till next year.

You're off the hook for the special,

and it's Christmas,

so what better time to just slow down and enjoy?

Slow down. Yeah.

Wait, are you gonna go and visit your mom

down in Florida for Christmas?

That would be nice to share --

the two of you hanging out, celebrating the holidays.

Just document everything.

Use a good filter, natural light when you can.

No, she thought I'd be working,

so she's on a Christmas cruise with her fiancé.

Oh.

Okay. Uh, what if I, um --

what if I do something personal here,

like a tree trimming tutorial at my place

with, uh, the Christmas swag from the Home Shop?

Go more personal.

A tree-trimming party at my place?

Getting better.

With my one friend/producer?

I was thinking more an actual party with actual friends.

Yeah. No, no, no, I can totally make it look like that.

I will give some tips, post a ton of pictures

amp up the decor.

How's tomorrow?

I am -- Great. Okay.

I'll see you then.

Uh, Sam.

Okay.

Boy, this thing has some suck.

Hmm.

Hey, Jack, I was just about to call you.

I just have the news about the inn.

- Are you okay? - Uh, I'm fine. I'm fine.

Nobody got hurt, thank goodness.

Just got a big old tree in the middle of the inn now, though.

Ugh. I'm so sorry.

How are you?

I'm missing Rita every day.

Did you see that, uh, episode that I dedicated to her?

The one where I renovated that couple's cabin for Christmas?

Yeah, I watched it last week. Rita would have loved it.

You know, Christmas was always her favorite.

Well, she was the queen of it, always decorating the inn

and throwing those amazing HarborFests.

Hey, you were doing it right alongside her most of the time.

Wait a minute. Are you gonna be able

to throw the HarborFest?

Christmas is less than two weeks away.

Well, actually, that's what I'm calling.

I'm in need of a little Christmas miracle.

From me?

I-I don't know how much Christmas magic

I have in me these days.

The inn is shut down until we repair the damage.

Uh, I'm gonna have to cancel the HarborFest

for the first Christmas since Rita started it.

What? Jack.

Well, unless, uh --

unless maybe you come back home for Christmas.

Come back to Bell Harbor?

Yeah, you could help me get the inn renovated,

decorated for the HarborFest and...

and, hey, you're the only person I know

who can actually pull this off.

Jack, you know -- you know I would love to help,

but I mean, I-I ...

I-I can't.

That's okay. No, i-it's okay.

I knew it was a long shot. Uh...

I bet you have -- have that Christmas special

you have to film every year, huh?

Okay, even if I could help, there's no way

that I could get a crew with this sort of notice.

Well, I have a crew

and a place for you to stay.

I just need the person with the design expertise.

Are you in?

I'm in.

- Hey, Coop. - Oh, hey, Mary.

Thanks for picking up my trees.

Any time, guys.

Seriously?

Sorry. I'm trying to be a good little sister.

It's fine. You don't have to hide it.

Sam and I dated a long time ago.

I can look at this.

See?

Right.

Come on. It's not like you don't have other pictures

of her in here.

And I don't like to hold on to the past.

Please.

You own a reclaimed woodshop.

You're obsessed with the past.

That's where you're gonna put it?

You just said it wasn't a problem.

It's not.

Just distracts from the menus is all.

If that's where you want it, fine by me.

And you're sure about that?

Yes.

Sam and I have both moved on.

If she was here right now, I would tell her the same thing.

I'm very busy and happy in my own life.

I don't even think about her,

except for when I see her pictures here every day.

Tell her yourself.

Sounds like you're saying you think about me every day.

Sam! Hey!

I couldn't believe it when I got your text last night.

- Her what? - Let me get you a cup of coffee.

You must be exhausted.

Hey, Coop.

Sam.

What are you doing here?

Oh, you know, just taking a Christmas break

from my own very busy and happy life.

So you're back to the holidays, huh?

That's great.

It's been a long time.

Made you a slice of gingerbread loaf, too.

I know you love it.

Oh, uh, do you have --

Two sugars, none of the fake crap.

Thanks.

Some things never change.

And some things do.

Oh, so good!

Mmm.

It's like Christmas in a cake.

There's more where that came from.

I have some streusel cinnamon rolls I'm baking now.

I'll bring some by later. Oh, and my peppermint bark.

You are spoiling me, Jen.

I'm just so happy to have you home,

especially during the holidays.

I mean, you haven't been home for Christmas since...
