Ghosts of Christmas Always

The film opens with Katherine (Ghost of Christmas Present), Arlene (Past), and Roy (Future) completing a successful mission with a singer named Susan Kraine. They are immediately sent to Hartford for their next assignment: Peter Baron. Katherine is unsettled because she encountered Peter the previous year, and he was able to see her, which is against the rules of the 'Department of Cosmic Order.' Peter is the heir to the Foodstuff Grocery Corporation, run by his cold, business-minded father, Robert. While Robert wants Peter to focus on the bottom line, Peter secretly spends his nights using company vans to feed the hungry in Frog Hollow. As the ghosts take Peter through his history, they visit his childhood where his grandfather, Bob, ran the 'Frog Hollow Angel' community center. We learn that Robert eventually shut the center down because it wasn't profitable, causing a rift in the family's values. Katherine begins to feel a romantic pull toward Peter, which is complicated by her status as a ghost. During the investigation, Katherine discovers a photo of herself in the old community center. She eventually realizes that in her mortal life, she was Katherine Marley, a waitress who died on Christmas Eve while helping others. She was also the best friend of Peter's grandmother, Betsy. In a bureaucratic twist, the ghosts' boss, Charlie, reveals there was a 'mistake' in the paperwork: they were actually supposed to scrooge the father, Robert, but Peter was the one listed. Because Peter can see Katherine, the team uses him as a proxy to reach Robert. Peter confronts his father with a heartfelt letter written by Betsy, which Katherine helped him find. This leads to Robert's redemption; he agrees to reopen the community center and keep the family legacy of charity alive. In the finale, it is revealed that the 'mistake' was a setup by the Department of Cosmic Order to bring soulmates together. Katherine is allowed to 'pass through' back into the living world. She wakes up as a mortal woman in the present day, meets Peter at the newly reopened community center, and they begin a real relationship, fulfilling their destiny.
