Elsewhere in the pair of special episodes, Mel starts the search for her biological father in Virgin River, with new information in the trailer revealing that the man suspected to be her father still lives in the town.

Considering season 5 episode 10 ended with a number of cliffhangers, there’s so much more to discover in the pair of holiday episodes. After all, Preacher could be in a tricky situation with Kaia following the discovery of the buried body, and according to the part 2 trailer, there are still some lingering feelings between Brie and Brady. It will definitely be a Virgin River holiday to remember.
