Christmas With You

Angelina!

Angelina!

Flawless as always.

Our spacing was completely off.

And that pose at the end still isn't strong enough.

Always the perfectionist.

So, what do we got?

Press junket's up next.

-Be nice. -Always.

-Let me introduce you to-- -Angelina Costa.

Madison Sparks, Celeb Buzzpop News .

It is, like, a total honor to meet you.

I have been a fan since I was a baby.

A baby? Really?

The industry has changed a lot since your first single.

Like how your labelmate Cheri Bibi utilized Twitter

to put momentum behind her latest single.

Yeah. She certainly is very innovative.

Totes.

Well, do you find it difficult to stay on top of current trends?

I'm just wondering if it's difficult to stay relevant.

For example, recently, you put out a TikTok that felt a little…

…outdated.

Is there pressure to keep up with these younger artists?

Esta idiota.

What was that?

Oh. I love your shoes.

Oh.

She asked about the TikTok, Mo.

The TikTok!

I mean, she… She pretty much told me that I should retire to my face.

Who cares what she thinks?

You have a shoot to be on the cover of Fashion Beat magazine tomorrow.

That's what you need to be focused on.

-Right. Yeah. -All right. Okay.

Yeah.

-Oh. -Yes.

Right.

It's Barry.

Mmm. Mmm, don't get it.

But he's the head of the label. I have to take it.

Well, Mo, just tell him I'm not here.

-I don't know. Make something up. -Okay.

Barry! Hi.

Hey, Monique. I was hoping I can catch a moment with Angie.

You know, you just missed her.

She's off to a fitting for tomorrow's shoot.

Great, great.

I had a thought. Ange should make a Christmas song.

Christmas songs are good for business.

-No, no, no. -Christmas is a few weeks away, Barry.

And I'm not sure that a Christmas song really fits Angelina's whole thing.

What? Look what it did for Mariah.

That one song alone can buy her a private island.

Don't you worry. We've been working on some new material,

and I think she has a hit.

Okay. So when can I hear something?

You can hear it on Sunday at the gala.

Okay. All right, well, just make sure she delivers. Yeah?

-Of course. Of course. Okay. Bye. -No! No!

Why'd you tell him we have a song?

We don't have a song. I've literally been rehearsing my hits.

Mo, I have not been feeling inspired,

and I don't-- I mean, I don't really think that a Christmas song is my style.

And… …it's not like the record label's gonna drop me

because I don't want a "Jingle Bell Rock."

Are you serious?

Wait.

Are you telling me that

Barry gets a shiny new toy,

and he would kick this to the curb?

Well, that shiny new toy has a top-ten single right now.

My advice?

Shoot.

Stop rehashing your old hits.

Get in touch with your inner Holly Jolly,

and write a new hit single that he can release this Christmas.

Mommy?

Could we turn the telenovela down, please?

No way!

Ricardo just got up from the dead!

Yeah, that's more important.

Cristina!

Sweetheart, can you please turn it off?

Between your music and your grandmother blaring the TV,

I can barely hear myself think.

Anyways, can you please play the guitar on my video?

-No. -Aw, please?

No.

Please?

I'll frame you out. You won't even be in it. Okay?

You better.

Yes!

I miss you, Ma.

Tsk, oh…

That song was by Angelina Costa.

Who-- Well, who doesn't know who she is.

My mom and I used to listen to that song a lot together.

Um…

My mom passed away a few years ago.

Um, I'm gonna use it in my quinceañera next week,

so it feels like she's there.

My Christmas birthday wish is to one day meet Angelina.

Maybe take a selfie with her.

And tell her how much her song means to me.

Ah, there she is!

Smile for the camera, mi amor.

Ricardo! What a surprise.

Uh, well, hey there, everyone.

I plan on having some new music for you very soon.

Oh. Well, what about a little bit of, uh… inspiration?

Oh. Pues por supuesto.

Okay. Mmm.

-Merry Christmas to me. -Oh. Okay.

-We have it? -What're you doing here?

Baby, what? I can't resist this.

You know, the behind-the-scenes content always lights people up.

No, no, no. Stop. Stop.

No, we agreed.

Baby, we got 15 million followers that are hungry for content.

Plus, we need some extra footage to promote the gala.

No, the gala? That's not what the event is about.

It's about the charity, not us.

I'm on your side, okay?

Right? -Yeah.

-Ricalina. -Mm-hmm.

-Ha ha! It's good for both of us. -Right.

-Yes? -Yes.

-Yes? -Yes! Yeah. Ricalina.

-That's a yes. That's a yes. That's a yes. -Okay.

See you later, Mo.

-Catch up with you. -Yep.

Bye.

What?

I thought Ricalina was going public with the breakup.

We can't.

We can't!

He's right. Not yet.

We got to get our numbers up.

We have 15 million. We need 200.

We got to get those Beyoncé numbers.

Whatever.

-Dad, where's my phone? -Where did you leave it?

Mijo, if she knew where she left it, it wouldn't be lost.

Ooh, what are you making?

Pozole!

Mmm, it smells so good.

Here it is.

Yay!

It's dead.

Oh. It's a Christmas miracle.

Come on, we're gonna be late. Love you, Mama.

- Adiós. -Bye, Abuela!

Girl! That outfit is fire.

I mean, I knew it was gonna look good, but seeing it on you?

-You are working it. -Thank you.

Yeah, I am feeling it.

You should.

I was actually going to order lunch. You want anything?

Oh, absolutely not.

With the performance coming up, I got to stay strict.

You wanna talk about it?

Uh, yeah, sure. I plan on doing a lettuce diet up until the gala.

Hold on. What is a lettuce diet?

It's when you only eat lettuce.

But you alternate by day the kind of lettuce you eat.

It's much more exciting than it sounds.

-Mo? -Huh?

The transition from arugula to spring mix

makes your whole week.

Okay, no more distractions, deflections, excuse me, or arugula.

Venga . Sit down.

Come on.

Talk to me.

My head is just not in it, Mo.

Okay, I'm not feeling it. I…

I mean, you know I haven't felt Christmas since…

-Well, you know, Ma passed. -I know.

And now they want me to write a Christmas song. Seriously?

Ho ho ho, deck the halls.

No, it's not happening.

Okay, let's go.

You look beautiful.

-We have to make this tighter. -No… We… I don't…

-Wait, do I have muffin top? -I'm not even answering that.

-I can pinch. I'm pinching. -You're not pinching. Please.

-Angie. -Barry.

-What are you doing here? -Hey.

I figured I'd come by and chat with you in person.

Is this about the song? 'Cause I've actually been working on the song,

and it's coming along great.

I would absolutely love to discuss the song. But first, Cheri!

You've met Cheri Bibi before, yes?

We haven't had the pleasure.

Oh my gosh. It is wild to meet you.

Likewise.

And look at your outfit.

I don't think I could ever pull off anything so vintage.

Mmm.

You… Why… Why don't you talk to the photographers
