Ho-Ho-Home for the Holidays After divorcing her ex, Clarke and her twins, Madi and Aden, move back to her hometown in order to be closer to her mother. Arkadia seems like the best choice for Clarke and the twins to have a fresh start. Once the three are settled into their new house, Clarke and Abby take the twins to the Woods Family tree farm to pick out their very first Christmas tree in their new home together.
Madi and Aden want to take Abby to pick the perfect tree for their mother so they lead her one way and Clarke wonders the other direction. Abby runs into and a coworker and distracts her for one second too long and the determined twins continue the search without letting Abby know.
After loading up a tree for Leona, the sweet old lady that owns the local grocery store, Lexa finds two giggling children wondering through the trees. She walks up to the children and crouches in her green apron to greet the two adorable kids. She asks if they are lost and if she can help them. The boy she later learns is Aden, launches into the story about how they are trying to find the perfect tree for their mom to make her excited like she used to be for Christmas. He also lets Lexa know they lost their gran while on the hunt. Turning towards Madi, she notices that she is shy and looking a bit scared. She lets the precious blue-eyed children know that they are in luck, she owns the tree farm and that she can definitely help them find their gran and their mother. On their way to the front, Lexa thinks about how much the two children remind her of her old crush and takes a liking to the adorable twins immediately. The three make their way to the front stand hand-in-hand and Lexa makes the announcement stating that Madi and Aden are looking for their mother and the twins are at the front of the farm. Little does Lexa know, her childhood crush is on the way to the front and is the mother to these sweet children. Clarke rushes to the front of farm in a panic and is stunned silent when she sees the green-eyed beauty in front of her. Clarke wonders after all this time she didn’t think Lexa would have stayed in this small town. Walking up to Lexa and her children, Clarke smiles and lets Lexa know that Aden and Madi are her kids. Aden immediately asks his mother if Lexa can help them find the perfect tree. He tells his mom that she owns the place and that she is the best person to find their tree. Clarke snickers at her child’s antics and asks Lexa if she would be willing to help them find a tree. Agreeing quickly, they set off down a new path with shorter and fuller trees than the previous massive trees. While walking Lexa notices Clarke is not wearing a ring of any kind and this intrigues her. Madi and Aden are reminded to not go too far. Clarke and Lexa walk side-by-side catching up. Finding out that Clarke and the kids just moved back to Arkadia excites Lexa. She always had a huge crush on her friend and thought they would spark a relationship but unfortunately Clarke moved away freshman year of high school. After walking for a little while, Lexa works up the courage and asks if the twin’s other parent is excited about their first Christmas in Arkadia. Clarke pauses and responds with a soft no. She lets Lexa know that she and her husband divorced and he is not in the picture anymore and that it’s just the three of them now. Lexa leads the three to a tree she thinks will be ideal for them. The twin LOVE it and ask if they can get this one. Lexa pulls out her axe from behind her back and lets Clarke know that she will chop it down, bundle it and meet them at the front with the tree. Clarke about forgets how to speak when she sees Lexa holding the axe ready to chop a tree down. She thanks Lexa and heads back to the front with the twins. After waiting a short amount of time, Lexa hauls their tree to their car and gets everything strapped and secured for them. While Lexa is loading up the tree, Clarke is thinking to herself that she would love to see Lexa again. So she takes a change and invites Lexa over for dinner. Lexa dusts her hands off on her apron and smiles her full beautiful smile and excepts. Lexa is more than happy to be around Clarke again. This will be a Merry Christmas indeed.
