Much Ado About Christmas

Hey! You're doing great!

Thank you.

Isn't this beautiful?

Yep.

Did you know that putting up Christmas decorations early

creates a neurological shift in your brain

that actually produces happiness?

I did not know that.

It's true. Can't you feel it?

I can't feel anything, I'm frozen.

Fine, Scrooge. I'll admire them later.

But it is cold.

It's not that cold.

Merry Christmas!

- Thank you very much. - Merry Christmas.

Now, I do feel like Scrooge.

Well, do you want to go over there and give Santa a dollar?

Fine.

- Merry Christmas. - Oh. Thank you very much.

Ok, that felt good.

Oh, didn't it just a little bit?

Ho, ho, ho!

Yo!

You still working?

Yeah.

Hey, that's a twist.

Do you think the Santa's too warm and fuzzy?

Never.

That's why the client requested you.

You are the king of the fuzzy people.

The client requested me?

Well, not really, but you're doing a great job.

Come on, I need food.

Woah, hey!

What was that?

I'm trying to distract Claude.

He's obsessing over his masterpiece.

Looks great.

Save it to your phone.

I managed to get on the guest list of the Lloyd Industry's

company Christmas party tonight.

Can we go?

Absolutely.

I'm gonna need your help to snag some face time with Leona Lloyd.

Get her to let us pitch one of her accounts.

Leona Lloyd?

Global leader in "prestige beauty."

That's a switch from sports and fitness.

Well, we need to diversify,

especially after having lost that hoverboard account.

That was only because everyone kept crashing into things.

Yep, that did happen, yes.

Come on.

Hi.

Beatrice Carmichael.

Ok.

And Haley.

Oh, of course, enjoy.

Oh, fabulous.

Best office party at Winterstone.

Should we grab a snack at the bar?

Dorris: Haley!

You know what? I'm gonna go check out my cocoa cart,

but I will see you in a little bit.

Ok.

Oh, Haley, thank goodness.

The machine was working but something happened.

And now people are lining up

and we're almost out of peppermint sticks.

Oh, Dorris you are doing a great job.

Hooray!

We got it.

Why don't I take over from here

and you'll get some more supplies?

Oh, you're a doll.

Ok, we got this. Don't you worry.

Hi.

Gentlemen, here we are. Blue Skies Advertising Agency.

Blue Skies, Blue Skies...

Oh, there I am. Donald.

Yep, indeed. Plus one.

That's me.

It's actually a plus two,

we've had to bring along Claude here at the last minute.

And we couldn't leave him in the car,

it's snowing outside.

Ok, go on in.

Thank you.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

All right, lads.

The mission is find Leona.

Let's spread out.

What does she look like? I'm new here.

Google her.

Ok.

Ah. That's great.

I believe there's a power plug by the cocoa cart.

Oh, thank you.

Right this way.

Thank you.

Would you like a hot cocoa?

What?

Would you like a hot cocoa, sir?

Sorry, my phone died and this nice lady...

Do you happen to know where I could find a charger?

Uh, right there.

Wonderful, ok.

Sure you don't want a hot cocoa while you wait?

That would be lovely.

Impressive.

Did you have to go to elf training camp to learn that?

Of course.

And the last... duh duh duh duh dun.

And then there's just the final, there we go.

Wow.

Cheers.

Mm.

That's brilliant.

Thank you.

You know, I haven't seen you around before.

Oh, I work at Blue Skies Advertising.

Ah, so you're an ad man.

Well, production artist.

I'm Claude.

Haley.

Expecting a call?

Actually I'm looking for someone

but I have no idea what she looks like.

Oh, so it's a blind office party date?

Oh, no, no. It's not a date.

I'm not here on a date or seeing anyone in particular

at the moment, which means I'm totally single.

Just way more information than you just asked.

How 'bout you?

Same status.

So not dating anyone in particular.

No. Not at the moment.

Ah, back to life.

Well, Haley.

Claude.

Thanks for the sugar shock.

Anytime.

I'll see you around.

Yeah.

Well, enjoy.

Ben?

Ben!

Hey.

Beatrice.

What a pleasure to see you.

Yes, I could tell by your hasty retreat.

What brings you into town?

I live here now.

You're living here? Since when?

Almost a year ago.

I got a job as an account exec at Blue Skies Ad agency.

Been here a whole year, that's interesting.

Well, I kind of thought we might have

bumped into each other before now,

but apparently we don't hang out at the same places, so.

Why would we?

We were never into the same things.

Touché.

Are you working with Lloyds?

Hopefully soon.

You?

I'm just here for the free food.

Well, it was bizarre running into you.

Take care, B.

You too.

Hey, give me a hot chocolate.

Ok, coming right up.

Do you have any Baileys?

Oh, I don't, sorry.

I found the swirl sticks.

Oh, perfect.

I am on my last one.

Here.

Is this going to be some big production?

'Cause I really don't have that kind of time.

Almost done.

Nope, I hate peppermint.

Oh, ok, got it.

No peppermint and the Baileys is over at the bar.

Thank you!

You sure you're good?

Oh, absolutely.

You go and enjoy the party.
