Colton and Jacob are camping in a tent. He tells Jacob that nothing can hurt him out there. Daylight comes and Jacob wakes up and runs home.
Cut to adult Jacob walking in asking for his dad. And scary dude Cyrus from the 1800s is like they’re with me. Jacob wakes up from his dream and begins to cry.
Cut to Elliot and Kat waking up together. Elliot jumps n her and then remembers its hallmark and the first day of school. He has to get moving! Those silly lovebirds.
Kat tells Alice they’re going shopping! Alice is like I thought shopping was code for time travel. Kat is like it wasn’t but sure let’s go.
They come back to the 70s and Alice sees Evelyn looking at the pond practicing some sort of monologue. She’s excited to see Alice and tells her she’d like to take her to Lingermore. It’s awesome.
Speaking of Lingermore, In present day Jacob gets a call from that guy he got in an argument with at the book release who invites him to come there to talk. Apparently he just wants Jacob to help him make his wine taste better. But Jacob is too busy looking at the painting of Cyrus above the fireplace.
Back in the 70s, Evelyn shows Alice that same painting and then they look out and see Colton and Del flirting by the pool. He’s pumped when she agrees to go on a date with her.
Jacob is having like a panic attack and keeps thinking about Cyrus and how cruel he was to him and he decides that he can’t do this and can’t work on the wine.
Kat meets up with the hippy guy who has some archives. She asks if he knows anything about a vote to fill in the pond. He plays this audio and you hear little Evelyn talking about the pond and then you hear her tell colt that he’s tried it to. Kat takes that to make Colton can’t time travel.
Alice and Evelyn go to spy on Colton and del’s date. They go on a boat and then come back. She doesn’t like boats. So he sings her ABBA and that’s all it take. They kiss and that makes Evelyn very sad and she cries.
Back in present day, Del sees Jacob’s scars on his back and he tells her it was from Cyrus. They talk and she encourages him to take the job.
Kat and Elliot are making out hard or closing time, who hasn’t, when she notices her dad’s sweater. He says I found this by the pond after Alice got pushed in.
She takes it and shows her mom who once again insists she didn’t know. She goes up stairs and has a convo with ghost colt and she says if you knew about the pond, why wouldn’t you tell me? So I guess she really doesn’t know.
Jacob leaves her a note under the door about letting go of the past. He sees the vision of Cyrus, closes his eyes, and he disappears

Bill is playing mediator between Lucas and Lee, and it's not going well. Elizabeth catches wind of Allie's dance party. She's very excited and offers to help them learn to dance. They're like, "Well, do you know the Charleston?" She lies and says yes. Allie tells her that Nathan doesn't know and wants to keep it a secret for now.
Bill and Rosemary bring the case of the coin to the mountie, and he encourages them to take the lead on this. He tells them it's nice to see them working on it.
When the topic of the dance comes up with her parents, Angela seems uncomfortable. They assume it's because she's never been to a dance like this.
Allie is all in on Wyatt, and her friends invite him to the dance. She's nervous that word is going to get back to her dad. Just then, she sees Oliver coming in and invites him to the dance too. There's a new love triangle in Hope Valley.
Elizabeth comes to the library to get some books about dancing when she sees Angela in there, looking sad. She opens up to her about how she's worried about how her friends will view her at the dance because she's blind. She talks to her dad about it, and he tells her that dancing isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel.
Nathan finally finds out about the dance, and he gets into a bit of a fight with Allie. He doesn't think she's ready to throw a party by herself. Elizabeth comes in with a crazy idea: they chaperone. Apparently, Mae Sue knows about dancing, so she teaches Elizabeth and Rosemary.
Lucas goes to take a look at the land, and wouldn't you know it, Edie is there. She offers to show him around.
Molly is very nervous about how all the kids are out there dancing. She wants the party canceled, so she requests a town meeting. They agree to let the dance continue if there are more chaperones.
Angela tells her dad that she wants to go to a school for kids who are blind.
Lucas and Edie try to capture a calf. Luckily, he has a lasso. Edie had told Lucas that she was engaged, so when he notices her ring is missing, she comes clean and says she's not engaged anymore. She just tells people that and wears the ring to keep the boys at bay. He picks up the goat, and she is very impressed.
It's time for the dance, but no one is dancing. So Oliver gets out there and starts, and Allie goes out to join him. The dance is a smash success.
Molly and Judd dance. I don't really care about that, but then Judd says that he paid for the hazelnuts with a gold coin.
Oliver is about to give Allie something, but Wyatt shows up, and they start dancing. Oliver is sad.

All Abby really wants is to be a professional jewelry designer, but no one will give her a chance! What she needs is buzz. Very demure, very mindful. She decides she’s going to go to Belgium and visit her grandpa, and maybe even compete in the Valentine’s Day Diamond Contest! She gets there and fixes a woman’s ring on the street right in front of a jewelry store. One of the owners, Alexander, comes out and is like, “What the heck?” She’s like, “Sorry.”
It turns out Alexander’s dad and Abby’s grandpa are rivals—they don’t like each other. Alexander and Abby start hanging out more, and Abby is bummed to hear that the shop is struggling. Alexander is bummed to find out that his dad wants him to come up with the design for the competition. Alexander is great at business, but design? Not so much. So they come up with a plan—Abby will help with the design if Alexander will help with the business side. On one condition: their families must never find out.
He makes her a website, and she’s like, “This is incredible!” They meet up in secret. Everything is going great.
But then they go to a party together, and they’re having a great time until their families show up and are like, “WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!”
But these two lovebirds can’t stay away from each other. She comes over to help him with a design, and then they kiss.
It’s time for the event, and Alexander’s dad tells him he called in a favor with a judge and that there’s nothing to worry about. This upsets Alexander, and he bounces.
Abby wins, I think! Yay!
Her grandpa gives her this massive diamond that he’d been holding onto in case of an emergency, and she sells it because that’ll give her the money to go out on her own and be a jewelry designer.
She finds Alexander, and he’s like, “You should stay.” And she’s like, “Okay, I already was going to, but thanks for asking,” and they kiss.

The episode kicks off with some narration, setting up the magic of the holiday season and how we’re all hoping for the perfect Christmas… but it never quite works out that way.
We meet Chuck, who hires a bucket lifter to get his Christmas decorations as high as possible. He doesn’t care what his neighbors think—especially his next-door neighbor, Manny, who seems to have some beef with Chuck, despite their kids dating.
Then there’s Jennifer, who is stressed because her mom, Linda, is dating a younger man and bringing him home for the holidays. Jennifer’s dad, Robert, is coming too, but Linda hasn’t told him about her new boyfriend.
Josh Hill comes home for Christmas before his move to Sydney. He buys his parents tech gadgets, but they don’t use them.
Ted and Marcus arrive to celebrate their engagement with Ted’s family this Christmas, and Ted’s mom is PUMPED.
We also meet two teenagers, Max and Annie. They’re best friends working on a gift drive, but when cool girl Stephanie shows up, Max is clearly smitten, which bums Annie out. She talks to her mom, Lucy, about it, who just offers her a candy cane. Lucy runs a bakery, and a hunk named Cole comes in to do some handiwork. Sparks are flying. Lucy’s sister, Sylvie, is also coming to spend Christmas with her for the first time in years, and Sylvie is a lot.
Josh gets pulled over by Detective Nora Jacobs, whom he recognizes from school. It’s clear they never really got along. She gives him a ticket, much to his surprise.
Meanwhile, Manny and his wife are so excited that their daughter, Gaby, is home for Christmas! She has big news—she may be getting her own cooking show! But the joy doesn’t last long when she finds out her brother, Kevin, is dating their next-door neighbor, Katie, who used to torment Gaby as a kid.
Josh complains about the ticket, but his parents tell him that Nora is actually pretty awesome. Her husband passed away, and now she’s raising their kid on her own. Josh starts to feel a little bad.
Ted and Marcus are talking wedding plans when Ted brings up his grandma as a potential problem. Everyone skirts around the issue until Ted admits: his grandma doesn’t know he’s gay. Marcus is shocked and doesn’t understand why Ted hasn’t told her. They’re even more surprised to find out she’s coming for Christmas, despite planning a spa trip to Florida. When she meets Marcus, Ted introduces him as “his friend.”
Clark and his wife, Rebecca, show up at his family’s house. Clark’s dad is Chuck, the Christmas light guy. Their large family immediately gives them grief for deciding to go vegan this year.
Josh goes to pay his ticket and meets Nora’s kid, who teaches him how to properly structure his Legos.
Gaby and her family head to their annual karaoke festival, which she loves. She’s upset when Katie shows up, and things get worse when they both choose the same song to perform. Everyone knows what that means… DUET! They crush it—until Katie accidentally hits Gaby in the face, causing her to fall off the stage. To top it all off, Gaby learns her parents are giving Katie her room because she’s too tall for the couch.
Later, Josh is in a rush to sign some papers and forgets to put his car in park. It rolls into a fire hydrant. Of course, Nora shows up and tells him this is pretty serious, and he’ll have to go to court. Josh pleads, saying he’s moving to Australia, so she gives him community service instead.
Gaby is looking for a blanket when she finds an engagement ring in Kevin’s pocket. She is not happy.
Ted’s grandma finds the wedding planning album and assumes Marcus is engaged… to Ella, Ted’s sister. Now she’s staying.
Meanwhile, Chuck’s wife, Connie, is tired of the family fighting, so she makes everyone sign a no-fighting agreement. Chuck agrees but insists they turn on the Christmas lights first. Predictably, it doesn’t go well.

The episode kicks off with Alice asking Colton what he was doing. He’s like, “I wasn’t thinking straight. I ran off after the funeral.” She’s like, “And you jumped in a pond?” He’s like, “Who can say?” They go to check in on Vic, and he yells at Colton, telling him it should’ve been him who died.
Elliot and Vic get into an argument. Vic says he refuses to let that ring go to a Landry, claiming, “The Landrys have always used us.” Elliot tells him, “It’s my ring now, and it’s my house now. Get lost.”
Back in ’74, Alice goes with Colton to Coyle’s to join a group of folks remembering Rick. They see the hearse drive by, and Alice locks eyes with Vic.
Kat and Elliot are making out in the shack when they discover some jazz music playing and a bottle of Pinot. Kat jokes, “She’s a cab girl? What gives?!”
That night at dinner, Del tells them all about Sam. Kat responds, “Well, while we’re sharing big news, I’m moving in with Elliot.” Del is shocked and says, “You’re doing what? You need to be here for your daughter.” They begin to argue, and everyone scurries off.
Kat and Alice figure out that there’s another book they should pour wine on. It reveals the rest of the message—a note from Colton to Evalyn that makes it sound like they were both time travelers.
At the market, Alice talks to cute boy Noah. She helps him out in the food truck, and they flirt.
Kat goes to the pond to try traveling back to ’74 herself. When she gets out of the pond, she is greeted by a scary old woman. Apparently, it’s Colton’s grandma, Fern, and she’s acting wild.
Jacob and his childhood friend Danny finally catch up. Danny admits he’s always blamed himself. Jacob reassures him, saying he didn’t push him into the water and that nothing is his fault.
Alice shows Del the books, and Del says she’s not surprised to see this but insists that if Colton had traveled through the pond, he would have told her.
Fern tells Kat, “It’s nice to see someone using the pond again.” When Kat asks if Colton used it, Fern cryptically responds, “If you want the right answers, you need to ask the right questions.”
As Kat heads back to the pond, she sees Colton talking to Evalyn and overhears them discussing the pond. He’s about to tell her something big when they hear a noise.
Kat returns to the present, where Del warns her to leave the past alone. Kat scoffs, “As if.”
She then gets a call and has to rescue Jacob, who is too drunk to get home.
Meanwhile, Elliot discovers that his dad did indeed steal the ring back, even though he had just promised Elliot he wouldn’t.
Alice and cute boy Noah share a kiss.
Finally, Kat and Alice go to the archives to search for answers. They discover a flyer from 1965 about voting to fill in the Landry pond.

We meet Abril, a sophisticated businesswoman, but she’s struggling to find a job because of what happened at her last company. Feeling discouraged, she hops on a call with her cousin Belinda, who lives in Argentina. Belinda encourages her to come back and visit the family ranch. Apparently, this ranch has been in their family for generations and is currently being managed by a family friend—who just so happens to be Abril’s childhood crush, Diego.
When Abril arrives, everything seems great. She spends time with Diego, and it’s obvious they’ve been keeping tabs on each other because they’re totally in love. However, things take a turn when Abril discovers that Diego is trying to buy the ranch. She’s furious, declaring, “OVER MY DEAD BODY! THIS BELONGS TO MY FAMILY!”
But then they get terrible news. Some mail arrives, revealing that the family owes a significant amount of money. Belinda had previously brushed it off, thinking it wasn’t a big deal, but now the debt has piled up. The only way out is to accept a ridiculously low offer for the ranch.
As the crisis unfolds, Diego and Abril start spending a lot of time together. There’s plenty of walking, talking, and many moments of almost kissing. Their connection grows deeper.
Meanwhile, Abril receives an offer to return to Boston. With the salary from that job, she’d be able to pay off the ranch’s debt. Problem solved, right? Not quite—she realizes she’s not happy.
So, she goes to a waterfall to think things through. Diego shows up, and she tells him, “I sold my place in Boston. I’m not taking the job. I’m staying here because I want to run this ranch with you.” They share a big, passionate kiss, and together, they take on the challenge of running the ranch as a team.

The Fletchers Grove real estate party is FINALLY HERE!!! A guy dressed as Santa comes in and kills the vibe. It's Glen. He owns the bookstore, and he’s very passive-aggressive about how no one in this town comes to his bookstore. Glen has a past. He’s banned from the diner, and everyone seems to hate him. He gives presents to everyone and tells Emily that he picked this one specially for her—it’s rare he finds a fellow mystery lover.
The night continues, and Emily sees Glen in his Santa suit scurrying quickly outside. She goes to follow him, finds his hat on the floor, and then sees a car speed off. Just as that happens, she hears a scream. She runs inside and sees Sue, who was throwing the party. She’s crying as she looks at Glen, who has been stabbed in the heart.
When Emily gets home, she opens the gift. It’s a special green edition of A Christmas Carol. We get a flashback of Emily visiting the bookstore and meeting Glen. She tells him about this edition of A Christmas Carol that her parents used to read to her. He remembered and tracked the book down. As she opens it, a letter falls out, inviting her to a very special event at the law offices tomorrow at 8 p.m. What is Glen up to?!
So, she goes to tell Sam, and he says, “How would you feel about me being a plus-one so I can take a gander?”
They show up, and the video plays—it’s Glen, predicting his own death and setting up a treasure hunt. Sam tries to get everyone to give him their books so he can search for clues. They’re like, “Nah. There’s treasure to find!”
It doesn’t take Emily long to find the first clue using a UV light on her book. She thinks the other books have clues too and that they all need to work together on it. She gets two others on board—a hot dog stand owner named Harry and Brooke Carmichael. But Glen’s nephew, Fred, says he and his wife don’t want to participate (mainly Fred’s wife—she didn’t like Glen).
To make matters worse, there’s one book still missing. She thinks maybe he gave it to the diner owner, Sue, but Sue says she threw the book out.
Sam finds out that Glen had Huntington’s disease. After Fred finds this out, he decides that they want to participate. Even though they’re missing one book, they decide to put all the clues together and try to figure out what they’re pointing to. It has something to do with a precious memory. Fred says, “The only memory I can think of with Glen is him reading Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Emily says, “Go see if he has that book in the bookstore. Maybe there’s a clue.”
As they’re walking towards the store, Emily sees the car that sped off and notices a letter that clearly came from Glen in the front seat. Just then, Fred realizes the bookstore is unlocked. Sam goes in first and finds a guy there.
It’s Fred’s brother Noah. They haven’t seen each other in a long time. Apparently, when their mom got sick, Noah left. Sam takes Noah in for questioning and presents him with some pretty tough evidence—they found Glen’s Santa suit in the trunk and the USB drive with Glen’s video on it from the lawyer’s office, which was stolen. He gives reasons for all of it, but it’s not looking great.
Fred tells Emily that he did finally go find the book and found a USB drive! They agree to all get together tomorrow to watch what’s on it.
As Emily’s going home, an SUV speeds at her, and she has to tuck-and-roll out of the way.
The next day, they all get together, and it’s another video with a very cryptic clue. We find out that someone is sitting in a car, listening in on their conversation.
Later, the group gets back together, but Fred is nowhere to be found. Turns out he was attacked from behind. He says he doesn’t know who did it. Sam gets a call—they found Fred’s wife’s DNA on the Santa suit. She says she found out that the first editions were missing and went to talk to Glen. She found him dead and knew it wouldn’t look good that she found him, so she put the suit on and ran out.
Emily finds Noah in the diner—he’s been released. She convinces him to join the group in solving the mystery. He comes to her store and sees there’s a hole in the wall—she has a leak. He says he thought maybe it was one of the secret compartments these old buildings have. That gives them the idea to look for one in the bookstore, and they find it! Inside is a suitcase—a go-bag, if you will. They discover a folder with a plane ticket to Switzerland for the day of the party and a brochure for a place in Switzerland for end-of-life care. He was planning to leave and die in Switzerland. Emily recalls that the tape says, “If you’re seeing this, that means I’m gone.” He didn’t know he was going to be murdered. He was just planning on disappearing.
They find the final clue and watch the video. Suddenly, Harry, the hot dog guy, is gone, and so are all the books. Emily puts it together—he killed Glen and was just trying to solve the mystery. She goes to confront him in the cemetery where the final clue leads to. We find out that he showed up to steal the first edition A Christmas Carol and threatened to kill Glen to get it. Glen laughed in his face, knowing he was dying. That offended Harry, so he stabbed him.
Emily then fights him, takes him down, and puts him in plastic cuffs to get the treasure! She figures out it was the lawyer who hired this guy, and he gets arrested.
She gets the group back together and hands out what Glen left for everyone. It’s very sweet.
The movie ends with Emily coming down to her store and seeing Sam fixing her wall. They end up making out HARD!!! She says, “Let’s go for a walk in the snow.” She has to go change, and that’s when he gets a phone call—he’s been investigating Emily and noticed some discrepancies in her story. He got a call from his higher-up to drop any and all research into her. So, clearly, she isn’t who she says she is. The episode ends with him asking her, “Who are you really?” Fade to black.
