"Ky! Lia! Get up!" Kylie jolts awake before she stretches. "Damn it, Mel. I can't sleep for five more minutes?" "Nope." She pulls the covers off of them before she walks into the restroom and turns on the hot water. "I am not grabbing your clothes girl!" Mel walks out as Kylie stands up. "Malia." She shakes her. "Hmm?" Kylie laughs. "Come on, get up." She mumbles something before sitting up. Kylie sighs before she hops in the shower. Once she's finished, and finally awake, she gets dressed while Malia showers and they all head out. "We gotta go pick up the others." Mel tells her as she's on her phone. "Who are you calling at this hour?"

"Ruby, i gotta wake her ass up." Kylie smiles as she shakes her head. "Rube? Ruby?" Mel says in a gentle tone into her phone. "Ruby Rose Turner!" She shouts into her phone. Kylie hears something on the other end that she can't make out. The car stops as Sharlize gets in. "Hey Shar!" Kylie hugs her. "Hey girl! What's this Mel told me about some kiss?" She asks. Kylie laughs. "It's for the music video. I was gonna kiss someone under the mistletoe but i mean, it's just us. I thought it would be weird." She shrugs. "I mean, you and Ruby have been friends for years, and Shar too. Definitely don't kiss Red." Mel laughs as they all laugh with her. "Oh god, no. Not Red." Kylie shakes her head. Mel stops the car and looks out the window. "Where is she?" She honks the horn once. "Alright, I'm coming!" Ruby walks out and runs down her steps. She gets in and buckles up. "Hey Rube." "Hi Ruby." "Hey guys." Mel pulls away from the curb and turns towards her. "Hey Rube, answer this question for us. Who do you think Ky should kiss?" "Kiss?" Ruby looks back at Kylie. "There's a line about a mistletoe in the song so we were gonna have a kiss happen but we can't decide who. We were thinking maybe you or Shar." Ruby glances back at Kylie like she grew a second head. "Are you really that stupid?"

"What?" "Hello? Malia?" Ruby says as if it's the most obvious thing. Malia, who had her headphones in this whole time, looks up. "What?" "Oh i don't know. All the shippers...." Kylie shakes her head. "Will go crazy. And it could be a great promotion for the movie." Ruby tells her. Mel shrugs. "Not a bad idea." "No, it's a horrible idea." "Oh come on Ky, who else are you gonna kiss?" Kylie thinks about it as they reach the cabin. "Um, what did i miss?" Malia looks at them, confused. Kylie sighs. "We're talking about who I'm gonna kiss under the mistletoe. And they keep saying it should be you." Malia shrugs. "Ok." "Seriously? You're ok with that?" Kylie looks at her. "It's just for a music video." She smiles. "Are you sure?" Malia nods. "I'm positive." Kylie hesitates but nods. "Alright."

They pull up to the cabin and get to work right away. Everyone changes into their first outfits before meeting outside. "Someone needs to be on snow duty!" Mel shouts. "I'll do it!" Malia grabs the snow machine and heads upstairs to the second story window and turns on the foam machine. "Playback!" The music starts as everyone dancing and Kylie lip sync's her song. "Don't eat it!" Mel shouts at them as she rolls her eyes. "Lia, turn it off!" She tells Malia who's just laughing as she watches everything. "We might to do another take." Kylie laughs. Soon, everyone moves inside the cabin to film the interior scenes. "Playback!" Kylie, Sharlize, and whoever the hell else because Mel couldn't remember her name for the life of her since it was way too early to function properly, start dancing as Ruby and Malia hype them up in the background. "Aye!" "Ahh!" They do a couple more takes before they break for lunch. Mel takes everyone to Starbucks because they all agree, they need caffeine.

"You ready for the big kiss scene?" Kylie asks as she sips her matcha. Malia shrugs. "I guess? Do i have a choice?" She jokes. They both laugh. "You always have a choice, Malia. But i am grateful that you agreed to do this." Kylie holds her hand. "Of course, Kylie." They soon head back and the exhaustion hits them all. "I will give you all ten minutes to rest and then we gotta finish shooting this music video!" Mel tells everyone. "Ruby, don't give me that look, I'm not giving you more time." "Oh come on!" Kylie laughs as she lays next to Malia. "Today has been hectic. I can't wait till we're done." "I need Kylia for the big mistletoe kiss!" Mel shouts. "Ooh!" Everyone shouts. "Shut up!" Kylie laughs as she stands. Her and Malia head over to shoot while everyone stands behind the camera. They stand under the mistletoe and wait for their cue. Once Kylie's high note is heard, they slowly lean in and kiss softly. "Hold it! Hold it!" They stay like that for at least ten seconds before they pull away. "Perfect! We got it guys!" They both wipe their lips as they look at each other. They blush deeply before turning away. "Alright guys, take five and then we do the final scene!"

A month later, when the music is finally out, Kylie sits in front of her laptop and watches it. She smiles as she watches and the memories come flooding back. She laughs as she watches Ruby completely miss her mouth with whipped cream, thinking back to when she actually saw it in person. The video soon ends and she's left confused. "Wait, what the hell?" She grabs her phone and calls Mel. "Mel, why is the kiss scene cut from my Santa Tell Me music video?" She asks. Mel sighs. "I was gonna tell you but i got sidetracked with Christmas shopping. I sent the video to Disney for approval and they said that they weren't going to have Chloe and Red end up together in the movie, at least not until maybe the second or maybe even the last one, so i had to have the editors cut out your kiss with her." Kylie's mouth hangs open in shock. "Are you telling me, i kissed her for nothing?!" She asks. Before Mel can answer, Kylie gets another call coming in. "Oh god, it's Malia. I'll call you back." She hangs up with Mel and answers Malia's call. "Kylie?" "Yes?" "Why am i not seeing our kiss in your video?"
