Freddy.

What time is it? Cuckoo!

(LAUGHS)

ALL:
Thank you, Eden.

MAURICE:
Merci.

Catherine, I'm saving yours for later.

Oh, wait.

No, there's more, there's more. I forgot.

I found something else in my house

that I really wanted to give you.

Christmas bonuses!

Yes. Because you're all so talented,

and it is truly an honour

and a pleasure to work with you.

Now, go have a holiday.

I'll see you in two weeks when we open.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you.

It was supposed to be flowers.

(CHUCKLES) I love them.

But I have one more thing for you,

a favour to ask.

- Merry...

- Christmas!

EDEN:
That was beautiful. Thank you.

I was wrong about you, Eden.

You're one of the good ones.

Merci.

Merry Christmas.

Yes.

Yes!

- What was that all about?

- I guess he liked his Christmas present.

Eden, I...

Catherine, I know for a fact

you've been working on another show

behind my back.

Please, let me explain.

And I think it's wonderful.

I want to go with you to see the kids perform.

I understand I might have

a couple of fans at the orphanage.

You do,

but how do you know about the orphanage?

Maybe it came to me in a dream.

Come on. Let's hurry.

Wait.

Let's make our special guest a surprise.

(GASPS) Yes!

(GIGGLING)

ALL:
(SINGING)

And wonders of his love

Joy to the world

(ALL CHEERING)

That was amazing, everyone.

Thank you so much.

But we're not done quite yet.

I've brought you a special Christmas present.

A special guest

I thought you might want to meet.

Special guest!

Merry Christmas, everybody.

(ALL GASP)

- Eden Starling!

- ALL:
Eden!

- BOY:
There you are!

- Tammy.

(GASPS) You know my name.

- BOY:
I want a hug, too.

- Of course, of course.

Catherine's told me so much about you.

I feel like I know you all.

Oh, Elizabeth, Jacob, Edmund.

You were all incredible!

I'm so happy to be a part of your Christmas.

Oh, and I have a special present for you all.

I am going to personally adopt this place.

Anything you need,

new furniture, toys, books...

Anything and everything.

I just want you to come directly to me,

and I will make sure you have it.

I want these children to have the best.

ALL:
Hurray!

I'm stunned.

There are no words.

This is the best Christmas ever!

God bless us, everyone!

CHILDREN:
Yay!

You're incredible.

Where did all this come from?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Just trust that it had a lot to do with you.

Thank you.

Thank you for giving me back my friend.

CHILDREN:
Hurray!

Oh, your Christmas present.

Part one.

(GIGGLING)

(SNIFFS)

(LAUGHING)

(WHISTLING)

Eden!

They're the fastest horses money can buy.

If we leave now, I think we can make it

to your parent's house in time for dinner.

That is, if it's okay for me to tag along?

Okay?

I'd love it if you came home

with me for Christmas.

FREDDY:
Ladies.

Freddy! You're driving us?

It would be my greatest honour.

But first, sometime when it's not Christmas

and we're not going off to visit your family,

I was wondering if I might...

If I could have the pleasure of...

That is... If I could have... The honour of...

Freddy, are you asking me on a date?

Yes.

I'd love it. Thank you.

Yes!

Thank you so much, Eden.

Wait, there's more.

Although, this is really

more my Christmas present.

I can't believe you still have it.

I do. And from now on,

I'm keeping it on my nightstand,

so I'll remember to

hold this feeling of Christmas in my heart

every day of the year.

And one day, I'll pass it down to my children

and grandchildren

and my great grandchildren,

so they'll remember, too.

Thank you.

That's a perfect Christmas present.

Oh! Chuzzlewit.

Chuzzlewit? Chuzzlewit?

(SIGHS)

(BURPS)

(MEOWING)

Oh, Chuzzie.

(BURPS)

This snow.

The carriage can't make it

through this weather.

Oh, no.

(SINGING)

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Glad tidings we bring

To you and your kin

Do you see that?

I thought maybe

it was one of your magic tricks.

No, I've never seen anything like that

in my life.

I have.

(SINGING) We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

FREDDY:
It's amazing.

What? But how?

(SINGING) We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Glad tidings we bring

To you and your kin

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Goodbye.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas.

- Goodbye.

- See you soon.

Goodbye! Merry Christmas!

We wish you a merry Christmas

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

And did they get to the Beadnell's house

in time for dinner?

They did. And every year after that,

they spent Christmas the same way.

They helped others in the morning,

then spent the evening together

with their families and friends.

- Barbie?

- Yes, Kelly.

That snow globe that Catherine gave Eden,

the one that Eden said

she'd pass down to her children,

is that the same snow globe?

Are we related to Eden?

Did this story really happen?

Maybe.

But I do know one thing for sure,

this is yours now.

Really? For keeps?

(LAUGHING) For keeps,

so it can remind you to

keep the beauty of Christmas in your heart

every day of the year.

Just like Eden.

Thanks, Barbie.

- Merry Christmas.

- (CHUCKLING) Merry Christmas, Kelly.

(DOOR OPENING)

Okay, so I'm at this crazy,

amazing charity Christmas Ball,

I'm looking everywhere for my girls,

and you're still here?

Hey, Nikki. Sorry.

We're just running a little late.

But I think we're ready now.

- Are we?

- Yeah, we are.

Wait till you see the Ball, it's so cool.

Everyone's dancing and having so much fun,

and they're getting tons

of donations for the hospital.

(CHRISTMAS CAROL PLAYING)

KELLY:
You think

maybe I could give something?

I have some allowance saved up.

BARBIE:
I think

that would be amazing, Kelly.
