About this episode
The movie kicks off with this guy selling snow globes on the street, but no one cares. We’re all just too busy! Beatrice walks by on the phone, and a car splashes her boots with water. Ugh. She goes to meet her best friend, Emilia, for coffee to talk about their staycation Friendsmas. Emilia comes up with an idea—instead of a staycation, they go to Christmasland. It’s a town fully devoted to Christmas, including the North Pole Inn. They make every guest feel like family. Emilia is pumped. Beatrice is less than thrilled and says, “Nah, hard pass.” But after nagging her about it a ton of times, she finally gives in. Right as they get to the Christmasland: 5 Miles sign, they get a flat. Emilia is convinced this is all part of the magic of Christmasland. Right on cue, a hot guy pulls up in a truck and offers to give them a ride. His name is Ethan, and Emilia is pumped to get into this stranger’s truck. He brings them to the magical inn, where they are handed Christmas PJs and Christmas cookies.

The next day, Ethan walks with Beatrice around the town and explains that Christmasland is a place where reality and fantasy blur, so she should just roll with it. She’s like, “I’m a journalist, but I’ll do my best to roll with it.” Meanwhile, Emilia goes to an eggnog tasting and meets a guy named Porter, who is also visiting—and who could be her dad. But he’s perfect… maybe too perfect. So this Friendsmas turns into the two of them just hanging out with boys. But Beatrice starts to realize that everything with Ethan has been hitting all the beats of a Christmas romcom. Now she’s like, “Is any of this real?” They even have a couple of almost-kisses. But there’s one trope that hasn’t happened yet… the ex-girlfriend. Enter Scarlett, Ethan’s ex, who suddenly comes into town. Beatrice is finally like, “Okay, you’ve taken this skit too far.” Ethan is like, “I don’t know what you’re talking about… all of this was real.” But Beatrice isn’t having it and leaves. Finally, Ethan explains to her that he’s in charge of the Grinches but that he loves her. And Porter? He’s real, too. And somehow, Beatrice is just totes fine with it all, and they kiss.
