- Let's go over it again.
After you work on the gingerbread house with Dad,
we’ll meet at the mall and you’ll head over to Mom’s --
- For cookie decorating,
while you circle back to the tree house ceremony with Dad,
I got it.
- Hey, this was your idea!
- Then why'd you listen to me?
- Well, we're in too deep now.
- We got this.
- They’re so...festive.
- Like an elf threw up all over them...
and not in a good way.
- Put ’em on!
Put the hoods on!
Got to get the hoods.
I've got to get a picture of this.
Your mom's gonna love this.
- No!
I mean, we wouldn't want her to feel left out.
- Yeah, you're right.
We'll get one for her, too.
So, who's ready to pick out the perfect tree?
Now, me personally, I'm partial to the blue spruce,
but your mom, she likes the Douglas fir.
- Is a bigger tree even gonna fit in here?
- We should probably measure--
- Just enjoy the adventure.
By next year, everything will be back to normal.
- Dad.
I don't know think--
- Now, who's ready to chop down a tree?
- Actually, I got some last minute holiday shopping to do.
I'll catch you guys later.
- [Dad] Wait, wait, wait!
You’re gonna miss out!
- I trust you.
- Wait a minute,
I forgot about the waffles.
You can't go shopping on an empty stomach.
- You usually love my eggnog pancakes.
- I do.
I'm just already full.
- Well, there's more batter if you change your mind.
I can't believe your sister's not back from her run yet.
Since when does she even like exercise?
Now that both of you are home for the holidays,
it got me to thinking...
now's the time of year we share with family
and people we love.
So, we're gonna have a special guest for dinner tonight.
(phone ringing)
Hey! Uh-huh?
I'm looking forward to it.
- Is that Dad?
- I got the tree into the car, but you're gonna need
to get it out.
- Okay, whatever.
Guess what?
Mom invited Dad over for dinner tonight.
- Did the eggnog pancakes go to your head?
That seems highly unlikely.
- Well, she didn't say it, but she basically did.
- Jonah.
Did she say it or not?
- She said a special guest.
Who’s more special than Dad?
- I'm not sure what's going on right now,
but we don't have time to figure it out.
I'll see you later.
(festive music)
- That way again.
Just put it, just put it down.
(phone dinging)
- Hi.
- Actually, bye.
(phone dinging)
- Hey.
We meet again.
- Hi.
- You make it to wherever you were rushing off to earlier?
- Oh, yeah.
You know how the holidays are.
Busy busy.
- I get it.
I mean, I'm always rushing off everywhere.
That's also because I deliver pizza.
Yeah, but don't forget to slow it down
every once in a while.
- What are you doing here?
- I'm just on my way home.
I live in the same building as your dad.
- Oh.
(phone dinging)
I’ve, uh…got to go.
- See you around?
(oven beeping)
- Are you okay?
- Just...
I'm sorry I'm such a failure.
- Dad, you're not a failure.
They're just cookies.
- I just..
I want your mom to know that I've changed,
and I can be there for all of us.
Wanna see what I got your mom for Christmas?
She's gonna love it, right?
- It's great.
- What I really want for Christmas,
is for all of us to be a family again.
(bell dings)
- I'm meeting up with some friends tonight.
- Go.
Bye.
Have fun.
- Finally.
- I got delayed.
They didn't have the cookies I wanted.
- I thought you were at the mall?
(bell dings)
- What's happening?
- Kids, I want you to meet my boyfriend, Christopher.
- [Allie] Next time on “Two Christmases”,
- [Jonah] We have to tell dad.
- How exactly are we gonna tell him
we met mom's new boyfriend last night?
- I’d really like to take you out.
Without your dad tagging along.
- I tried to warn you!
Mom's here, with Christopher.
Let’s go!
- Jen?
