How did Les know how to make the root beer? It is never explained.......
Since Martha had put the recipe in her apron pocket. Unless in that scene where he forces her to take the tips out of that jar, she gave him the recipe then but it was cut out.
This is one of the more better Christmas movies they show on the Hallmark channel. Few years from now they may not at all, it will be too old. Or it will be on only at 4 am.
UPDATE Dec. 2014 - I watched this on Amazon Prime recently since I was right in my prediction, it is not on The Hallmark Channel at all this year, and saw some scenes I had never seen before, but there is nothing to show how he knew how to make that recipe.
