Christmas Cookies

We're here live

for the annual festival of Christmas lights

in the magical town of "Cookie Jar",

a town teeming with all things Christmas,

as you can see.

A town that's home

of the famous Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie Company.

You may remember those wonderful, sweet sugary delights

from your childhood.

We're here with some longtime residents.

Lighting the tree marks the beginning

of something special in Cookie Jar.

Yes, it does.

The lighting of this tree

makes the beginning of our Christmas season.

You're all originally from Cookie Jar?

Born and raised.

That's what makes a town.

No one ever wants to leave.

It's pretty much the best place on Earth.

Hi, Mom!

My parents brought me here every Christmas for years,

I know I never wanted to leave.

Well, that's what this is all about.

People spend Christmas with us,

and then they have memories that last a lifetime.

Memories of Aunt Sally's Famous Christmas Cookies,

and the tree in the center of it all.

Gentlemen?

[Electricity crackles and the crowd cheers]

: I get it.

I know it's a little cliche.

the whole horse-drawn carriage through snowy Central Park,

but, whatever!

I mean, look at this place.

I mean, it's incre--

What's wrong?

No big deal. It's...

Wish I'd brought my gloves.

Oh, come on, Gavin. Here.

Put your hands in the blanket. There.

Problem solved.

I know this is not your idea

of a romantic night with me, okay?

I get it.

But it's important to me.

I-I'm sorry.

That wasn't fair of me.

I guess I'm just more traditional.

Company dinners, schmoozy parties.

"Stuffy" parties. You like stuffy parties.

You know, sometimes, it's nice

to have a little fun,

without the work.

Hey, speaking of parties.

My annual Christmas Eve party is coming up.

I'm really hoping that you'll make an appearance.

Oh, so I can talk about Christmas,

when I don't want to talk about Christmas?

Hannah, sweetheart,

it's really important to me.

Kind of like this carriage ride is for you.

Nice try, Gavin.

You'll love it.

Just you wait.

I am here. Where are you?

I'm here. Sorry I'm late.

Ohh! Really starting to snow out there.

It's cold.

And...?

The carriage ride?

Oh. Yes!

Oh, wow.

So he finally went for it, huh?

-Thank you. -Well, that's something.

What?

It was nice...

until he started talking about his Christmas Eve party.

Oh! Wow, that stuffy thing?

Right?

That's exactly what I said.

You hated that last year.

Okay, so...

you had him on the carriage.

And it was nice.

It was romantic.

Mm-hmm.

Maybe he'll pop the question soon.

What?

What are you even saying?

I'm so not ready for marriage.

Not at all.

He's a catch. You need to lock up the good ones

before it's too late.

And I'm gonna listen to relationship advice

from my little sister, who is, by the way,

currently single?

Hannah, isn't that your company?

...Known as "Aunt Sally", passed away,

and now, it looks like her family business

just might go global.

We have exclusive confirmation

that National Foods

is making a play

for the small upstate cookie company--

Wow! Well, Aunt Sally's cookies

are just the best thing in the whole world.

Did you see the story

on Cookie Jar last night?

No. I-I missed that one.

Well, the town is still so cute!

Why didn't you tell me

your company was scooping them up?

It's the first I'm hearing about it.

Well, that-- that should be your deal.

I should tell my boss.

But you won't, because...?

Because-- because I can't just walk in there

and tell my boss that I want that account.

It doesn't work like that, Kelly.

And plus, I'd have to go to Cookie Jar.

So? We went there

every Christmas when we were little girls.

We loved it!

I know. We did love it, didn't we?

-A lot! -Yeah.

Do you remember?

We used to try packing so many cookie boxes into our luggage,

we didn't even have room for our clothes!

We thought we had, like, a year's worth--

Yeah! We had, like, a week's worth.

At most!

We ate 'em so fast. Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, a lot's happened since then.

: Ah! Ladies and gentlemen--

We have a grinch--

Oh, hush.

-...In the house. -No, we don't!

I just have a lot more to think about

than Aunt Sally's, or--

Oh! I gotta go.

Just wait! Just hear me out.

We could go to Cookie Jar this Christmas,

just the two of us.

It could be so fun. Please?

I will think about it.

-Yes! -That is not a yes.

That is a yes.

Okay, so, if I don't see you tonight,

good luck on your presentation.

I know you're terrified of your boss.

Thank you for that, Kelly.

I love you.

So, the way we differentiate ourselves from the field,

is not only by having our chocolate milks

in old-fashioned, recyclable glass bottles,

which we all know is nothing unique,

however, what is unique,

is what's in them. We have...

Our "Dark"...

"Light",

and we have

white chocolate.

Okay, so, if Mr. Thurber gives us the thumbs-up,

then we need to be prepared pull the trigger A.S.A.P.

We gotta have this done by Easter.

-Can we do that? -Hannah?

Yes?

Mr. Thurber would like to see you.

Okay. Did I get the days wrong?

No. But he'd like to see you now.

Okay.

All right. Well, uh...

then I'll be back.

Hopefully.

: Did I miss a meeting?

He didn't say why, but he's in crisis mode.

Crisis mode?

Don't worry, Hannah, he's had his lunch,

so he won't bite.

[Steadying breath, exhales]

Uh, excuse me, sir?

Did you want me to move the presentation to today?

I could do that.

You ready for the big leagues, Miss Harper?

Um...

Yes, absolutely.

I hope so.

Because National Foods is buying

Aunt Sally's Christmas Cookie Company,

and it's a very important deal to us.
