Amber.
[AMBER] I wanted to wish my bestie insane amounts of luck
on her big presentation today.
Thank you.
Soon you'll be looking at the new creative director
at Melanie Stone Advertising.
[AMBER] I'm so proud of you.
Gotta go. Scroll My Ad is my task master, you know.
Lots of video bloggers to watch and report on.
You know you love it.
[AMBER] Did I show you my new favorite?
Rosie Gomez. She's like a Hispanic female Simon Cowell.
[ROSIE] Guys, have you seen the insane prices
at the Only At Christmas Store on First Street?
Who do they think is going to purchase an $85 stocking?
I hear a boycott in our future.
[AMBER] I already feel sorry for that store.
She has millions of followers.
Go get her, Amber.
[AMBER] You know I will.
I have Scroll My Ad dollars with her name on them.
[SANTA] Can you give a little something for children in need?
Oh! That's very generous.
My pleasure.
What's this?
A thank you ribbon. It makes people feel good,
brings them luck.
Everybody could use a little Christmas magic, hmm?
I wish that were true, but the holidays are just good
for us advertisers to help our clients sell more stuff.
Oh, but...
No, you see that building over there?
That's my agency. That's where the real magic happens.
There must have been a time when you believed?
When I was a kid, I guess, but everyone grows up, right?

Suit yourself, Santa.
Everyone's waiting for you in the conference room.
Let's hope it goes as planned.
Don't worry, Kendal. It will.
Come on, Tiffany, kill the nice act.
We both know Curazon's campaign should have been mine.
I've been here longer.
Kendal, I always give credit where credit is due.
But this wasn't about seniority.
I got Curazon because you didn't deliver for your last client
on their campaign.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning.
Well, our client, Jeff Crane, CEO of Curazon Enterprises,
obviously needs no introduction.
It's good to see you, Mr. Crane.
And you know our rising star, Tiffany Baxter.
I had a great initial meeting with Ms. Baxter.
I look forward to seeing what she's got for me today.
Well, the room is yours, Tiffany.
Thank you, Melanie.
Tomorrow, as you know, we launch our new Curazon Toys
online Christmas ad, which we will hard press
to go viral in the morning.
You asked for bold, Mr. Crane.
Melanie Stone Advertising is giving you bold.

He might seem tough, but he's really a teddy bear.

Okay, uh...
When his wife got sick, Grey left a job on Wall Street

I got the rest of the stuff from storage,
but I missed my little helper this morning.
He's off to school.
Hey, want a sneak peak at some footage?
Oh, the infamous video.
[GREY] Yes.
I film every year for our archives.
Also to show that the money is going where it's supposed to go,
to people who need it.
[MUSIC PLAYS ON VIDEO]
They are so cute.
[WOMAN] I'm not sure what I would have done
if it wasn't for Secret Santa.
That's what Secret Santa's all about, you know.
That's the magic of Christmas right there.
Yeah, I think I'm finally starting to get it.

Hi, Irene.
Oh, hey Will. What a surprise, I was expecting your mother.
Is everything okay?
Oh my God!
I... I just spoke to her last week. I can't believe that.
Oh no!
I... I am so, so sorry, Will.
You know that I have always appreciated your mother so much.
We can't do what we do here without her.
What do you mean?
No, you can't be serious! We had an agreement!
I understand that she's gone...
Okay, I get that she didn't put it in the will
but you know that's what she would have wanted.

[GREY] Well, what are we supposed...
Okay, I understand.

What happened?
Our Secret Santa passed away.
Oh.
[GREY] I have two days to come up with $50,000,
or I'll have no choice but to cancel
this season's celebration.
Have you ever thought about getting a corporate sponsor?
I... I... With the footage you have, I know I could create
something compelling.
We have this client that would...
No!
I have to find a real Secret Santa, not some brand
who will use us to sell whatever it is they're selling.
Look, I understand you mean well, Tiff,
but bringing on a corporation goes against everything
Caroline wanted.
Okay. Well, if there's anything I can do to help...
Thank you.
If you wouldn't mind bringing this back to Phillip,
I made a folder with all the best clips.
Yes, of course.
We'll talk later, okay?
Tiffany.
Not a word to anyone, please.
Of course.
[PHILLIP] What's rumbling in there?
Oh! Hi there.
Did you get into the Christmas decorations?
Yes, you did. Yes, you did.
You got into the tinsel!
Tough work, huh?
Well, if they expected me to work,
they shouldn't have gotten a puppy.
Isn't that right, handsome?
Yes, it is. Yes, it is.
Brandon's been asking for a dog for years.
I can't believe that Grey said yes.
I'm afraid I might have had something to do with that.
Oh. [LAUGHS]
Say hello.
Isn't he the cutest? Hi.
Say hello, mister.
What's his name?
Brandon's working on that one.

Um... Can I have a second? It's my boss.
Yeah.
Melanie.
[MELANIE] Are you planning on coming into work
at some point, Tiffany?
Of course. I...
[MELANIE] I told you to take time off

I... I was just about to leave.
Melanie?
[PHILLIP] Go, girl. Don't worry about us.
Thanks.

Yes, you are.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.
He needs to come up with $50,000
or there will be no Secret Santa.
[AMBER] Hey, where is he going to find that kind of money?
I tried to talk to him about getting a corporate sponsor...
[AMBER] Look, if you knew him well,
you would know Grey would never go for that.
But it's the perfect solution! Curazon would love to help.
[AMBER] You're thinking about saving your job right now.

Well, I... I have something, but I still have some convincing

No need to convince me, I want to see it.
[TIFFANY] No, you don't understand.

Tiffany, my patience is razor thin.
So, do you have something, or don't you?
[SIGHS]
The footage. It was right here.
It was here. I know it was here.
What is happening?
Well, Tiffany was going to show me her brilliant new idea
for Curazon, but apparently it's disappeared.
[TIFFANY] I went to the lounge to grab a cup of coffee,
and now it's gone.
What was it?
I had some footage on a thumb drive,
maybe a new Christmas ad for Curazon, something heartfelt.
I still have to get permission to use it, but...
You said that before.
[MELANIE] Tiffany, are you okay? You really don't seem
like yourself.
Are you sure you didn't leave the drive somewhere else?
No.
So, the Christmas party is tonight, and you don't have
anything to show Jeff?
I do, I have an amazing idea, I just...
Jeff's been very patient, Tiffany.
I know, and I will have something to pitch him,
I promise.
You'd better. Come on.

I'm sure he is for you. Just a moment, I'll transfer you.
Thank you.

You want me to come?

You must be Grey Johnson.
Tiffany has told us so much about you.
Oh?
I have, have I?
Those poor kids. How does it feel to make a difference
in so many lives?
Well, we don't call them poor, they're just going through
some rougher times than others.
Kendal is an account executive like me.
Tiffany. Please introduce us to your guest.
Grey Johnson, Melanie Stone,
CEO of Melanie Stone Advertising, and my boss.
Pleasure meeting you.
The pleasure's mine.
And may I introduce Jeff Crane, CEO of Curazon Enterprises.
Nice meeting you, Grey.
So, how do you connect to Tiffany? Are you a client?
Actually Tiffany has been volunteering for us
at Secret Santa in her spare time.
Has she?
Impressive.
Yes, wonderful.
I've heard many good things about Secret Santa.
Congratulations on the great work.
[KENDAL] I didn't know you volunteered.
That's Tiffany for you, a woman of many secrets.

Tiffany is something of a genius in the world of advertising.
She's exaggerating.
Uh, what are you doing, Kendal?

But sometimes it's not enough.
[ANNOUNCER] All you need is love,
but when that's just not enough, there's Curazon.
I love it.
It's genius.
You did this.
No, I would never.
[JEFF] Curazon, sponsor of Secret Santa. It's brilliant.
I don't... I don't know what this is,
but I already told Tiffany that we are not interested
in having a corporate sponsor.
Who really cares where the money comes from
as long as you get to give it to the less fortunate?
I do.
I care.
And we don't need Curazon's money.
[KENDAL] But aren't you short of $50,000?
I... I didn't tell her that. Grey.
We are done here.
[JEFF] Mr. Johnson, please consider this.
