walking in

a winter wonderland

Yo, give it up

for the boss-man!

Whoo! Yeah!

You can't leave

the mistle-tones.

Screw the belles.

The tones is your group.

Win or lose,

you're in this together.

What?

What? Say something.

If the mistle-tones

are gonna win,

we need you

to help us.

I am helping.

No, I mean, we need

you to sing with us.

Come on, you just

outed yourself

in front of

the entire office.

Singing at the ball would

be a walk in the park.

I wouldn't miss it

for the world.

So I'll...

See you tomorrow?

Absolutely.

Okay.

Nick. I'm going to

need you and holly

to stop by my cube

on Monday

because there are some

boss-employee make-out forms

I need you

to fill out.

Shut up.

This is Nick.

Hey, buddy, it's Jim.

Surprised you're still there.

What am I talking about? Of

course you're still there.

You're a workaholic.

What's up? Got some

great news, man.

Marty schuster...

Our southeast Asia guy...

Lost it... like,

total nervous breakdown.

That doesn't sound

so great.

Not for Marty,

but it is for you.

Buddy, I'm giving you

the keys to southeast Asia.

What?

That's right, pal.

Looks like you're getting your

promotion a few weeks early.

Merry friggin' Christmas.

Just one more thing.

You need to get

on a plane tonight.

We need boots on

the ground, asap.

When the boys upstairs

asked me who we could send

halfway around the world

this close to Christmas,

i was, like, "Nick's our guy.

He works 24/7, no family."

You were made for

this moment, brother.

Congrats. Call me when

you touch down in Mumbai.

Hey, Marci. It's holly.

Um, look, I thought

about your offer,

and, well...

I'm not

snow belle material.

But listen...

Good luck tomorrow.

You guys are adorable!

Merry Christmas!

Staci? Assemble

the snow belles right now.

We are having

an emergency rehearsal.

Because I said so!

Okay?

Hi, this is Nick Anderson.

Leave a message,

and I'll get back to you.

Hey, Nick, it's me...

Holly.

We're at the mall, and I'm

just wondering where you are.

Please call me back.

Thanks. Bye.

Hey! You made it!

Of course we did.

We wouldn't miss this.

You don't have

to be nervous.

You're gonna be

just great.

Thanks for coming.

Ladies and gentlemen,

put your hands together

for the tinsel tweens!

o Christmas tree,

o Christmas tree

thy leaves

are so unchanging

o Christmas tree,

o Christmas tree

thy leaves

are so unchanging

not only green

when summer's here

but also when 'tis

cold and drear

o Christmas tree,

o Christmas tree

thy leaves

are so unchanging

are so unchanging

o Christmas

thy leaves are so unchanging

Ladies and gentlemen,

the tinsel tweens!

Let 'em hear it!

Great job, ladies. Yo,

yo, that was awesome!

Those little monsters

just threatened me.

Hey, guys, I guess

Nick's not coming.

So what?

We don't need him.

Yeah, we can do this.

I'll sing his part.

I guess so.

It's now

or never.

All right,

let's do this.

Mistle-toes.

Put your hands together

for the mistle-toes!

sleigh bells ring,

are you listening?

In the Lane,

snow is glistening

a beautiful sight,

we're happy tonight

walking in

a winter wonderland

gone away

is the bluebird

here to say

is the new bird

he sings a love song

as we go along

walking in

a winter wonderland

in the meadow,

we can build a snowman

then pretend

that he is parson brown

he'll say, are you married?

We'll say, no, man

but you can do the job

when you're in town

later on, we'll conspire

as we dream by the fire

to face unafraid

the plans that we've made

walking in

a winter wonderland

Whoo! Whoo!

Oh, lar-bear,

you did so good!

Mwah! Heh heh!

Well... it wasn't

our best performance.

Don't worry, Larry.

We were great.

Yeah, who cares

what happens.

Yo, that was

awesome. Right?

The mistle-tones,

everybody!

Let 'em hear it!

You were fantastic!

I am so proud of you!

Oh, thank you.

You were great.

Thank you.

Really great.

Our last group needs

no introduction.

They've been bringing

the Christmas spirit

for the last 30 years.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the snow belles!

I don't want a lot

for Christmas

there is just

one thing I need

I don't care

about the presents

underneath

the Christmas tree

I don't need

to hang that stocking

there upon the fireplace

Santa claus

won't make me happy

with a toy

on Christmas day

I just want you

for my own

more than you

could ever know

make my wish come true

baby, all I want

for Christmas is you

you, you, you

you, baby

though all the lights

are shining

so brightly everywhere

and the sound of children's

laughter fills the air

everyone is singing

I hear the sleigh bells

ringing

Santa, won't you bring me

the one I really need?

Won't you please

bring my baby to me?

I don't want a lot

for Christmas

this is all

I'm asking for

I just want

to see my baby

standing right

outside my door

I just want you

for my own

more than you

could ever know

make my wish come true

baby, all I want

for Christmas

is you

you, baby

all I want

for Christmas

is you, baby

all I want

for Christmas

is you, baby

all I want

for Christmas

is you, baby

you, you, you

all I want

for Christmas

is you

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

We love you, too.

Well, I guess

that's it.

Want to hit

the arcade?

Sure.

Heh! We'll see

you guys on Monday.

Okay.

Bye, holly.

Bye.

I'm gonna go check

on the kids.

Whew.

Why don't you have a

chat with the old man?

Come on.

You know, your mother would've

been real proud of you today.

I doubt that.

She would've been up there

with the snow belles,

bringing the house down.

Do you know why your mom

started the snow belles?

It was so that

she and her friends

could have a good time
