(The short film starts off at the Qouholg, Road Island. As we see the Griffin's house. As they decorating their Christmas tree, while there a Airline ad on the TV, as we cut to it)
- Announcer: Do you want an excuse to not go home this Christmas? Then fly Northwest Airlines. At northwest Airlines, thousands of employees are dedicated to delaying and cancelling flights so you won't get home for the holidays.
- Ticket Employee: No way I'm getting you on your connecting flight.
- Flight Intended: No way we're taking off on time.
- Pilot: Don't worry, I'm taking this flight back to the gate.
- Grandma: Do you think Jeff will make it home this year?
- Announcer: No way-- because Jeff flew Northwest.
- Jeff: Thanks, Northwest. I hate my family.
(We go back with the Griffins)
- Lois Griffin: Ah, that looks great. You know, I think this is gonna be our best Christmas ever.
- Peter Griffin: But don't get your hopes up, Lois. I couldn't afford to get you what I got you last year.
(We go to a cutaway, as it took place christmas morning from last year)
- Peter Griffin: I know how you like that song, so I got you two Turtledoves.
- Lois Griffin: [She opens her gift and surprised] Where did you get these?
- Peter Griffin: I went to a scientist and had them genetically engineered. [He grab two Turtledoves] Fly, beautiful Turtledoves. Bring Christmas cheer to all.
(Peter let them go, as they flying around the living room and bumping to the Griffins and destroying anything from its path, while everyone is screeching and yelling)
- Peter Griffin: Everyone outside-- we'll do the rest of Christmas outside! Go, go, go! [anyone leaves]
(Once again, we go back with the Griffins)
- Lois Griffin: Look Stewie, I'm hanging the ornament you made at preschool.
- Stewie Griffin: Just hang it up. Why you have to narrate everything you do?
- Meg Griffin: Oh I love Christmas time, specially telling Christmas stories. I even love the story that Pooh tell us when he and his friends spend first Christmas adventure with Belle at the Beast's castle.
- Brian Griffin: Yeah, it was probably very moving.... and fictional.
- Stewie Griffin: Pooh and his friends told us the story in person. What else do you need?
- Peter Griffin: It's greatest story ever told, Meg. But Pooh didn't even tell you about his real very first one, which turns out to be a mission.
- Chris Griffin: Yay, Star Wars!
- Peter Griffin: No, Chris. It's the story about Pooh and his friends are about to had their very first Christmas mission, which will meet someone a very important person for the first time. Yes, I'm talking about Santa Claus, alright? [Goes to the family coach] Now, gather around, everyone, and hear the awe-inspiring tale that's almost caused millions and millions of Children's hopes and dreams. Many years ago, on that Christmas eve night with a Santa's sled flying throw the night sky....
(As the scene fated into a Nighttime sky, as Santa's sled flew by)
- Santa Claus: [Off-screen] Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!
(We see Santa flew down into the North Pole, as Santa fly around and heading tows a House on the hill, while Peter narrate in voiceover)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] With Santa finishes his runs from delivering the children's gifts around the world and made it home back his homeland called, The North Pole.
(We cut to inside the house, as we see two children sleeping in a bed; The right; boy named Nick and to left; girl named Noelle)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] For those you don't know that, this Santa has very special kids of his own, which two that is. He had a son named Nick Kringle, which he's real name is Nick or Santa Jr., I think. And the other one, that he's have daughter named Noelle. And she's love Christmas to most, and she does even dreaming about presents every night. Didn't I tell you she really love presents. Oh yeah, I did.
(As younger Noelle heard a thump on the roof, as he woke up and tries to wake up his brother)
- Noelle: Nick, he's here.
- Nick: Stop.
- Noelle: Come on. Wake up.
- Nick: No.
- Noelle: Come on, come on, come on.
(As we go to the living room as the fire place, as Santa quietly comes throw of. As we Noelle sneaking into the room, as she hides from the Christmas tree. As Santa drinking some milk, he notice something is behind that tree, as approach it quietly, which it was a letter and he grabs it and opens it, while Noelle giggles. Santa started to look the note form the letter as it was a card that says "Guess Who's Coming to Town?" in the front of the card. As Santa opens to card and it reals the pop up card as him and said "Santa!")
- Santa Claus: [Laughs] What a jolly card. I wonder which child made this?
- Noelle: [pops out from the tree] Over here! Right here! I caught you.
- Santa Claus: You did. But let's keep it between us, because my job depends on not getting caught.
- Noelle: Totally get it. So, I see you have some presents...
- Santa Claus: Oh, I do. Um... Have you been naughty or nice this year?
- Noelle: In my personal opinion, very nice.
- Santa Claus: [He look at his checklist] Well, let me check my list. {mumbles} Oh! Oh! Um, checking it twice.
- Noelle: Dad!
- Santa Claus: [Laughs]
- Noelle: You know I'm nice.
- Santa Claus: [Laughs] Give me a hug.
(Santa give a hug to Noelle, as his son Nick come right in)
- Nick: Dad! You're home!
- Santa Claus: Come here, my boy!
- Mrs. Claus: Oh! Welcome home, Santa. [kiss Santa]
- Noelle: I see Mommy kissing Santa Claus.
- Mrs. Claus: How was your night, dear?
- Santa Claus: Jolly. The presents were all delivered. Except for two.
(Noelle and Nick open their gifts. As Noelle got some things from real world)
- Noelle: Oh, my garland. This is amazing! What'd you get, Nick?
- Nick: [Look at his gift, which is Santa's hat] Dad?
- Santa Claus: Congratulations, my boy. It's time to start your Santa training.
- Mrs. Claus: Try it on.
- Nick: [He tries it on] I'm not sure this fits.
- Santa Claus: It will fit you when you fit it.
- Noelle: There you go. That looks jolly, Nick. And red is totally your color.
(Then a notices which that is Elves cheering from coming outside the house)
- Mrs. Claus: Oh! That must be the elves to welcome you home!
(Then, a nanny named Polly comes right in with some jackets with holding)
- Polly: No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Jackets, everyone. Pole weather report, snow and eight degrees. Forver.
- Mrs. Claus: That's cold. Come on, honey.
- Polly: Thank you, Santa.
- Santa Claus: Merry Christmas, Polly.
- Noelle: Dad?
- Santa Claus: Uh-huh?
- Noelle: I was just wondering, Mom is Mrs. Claus, Polly is our nanny, someday Nick will be Santa. What do I do?
- Santa Claus: Well, what do you want to do?
- Noelle: I would like to do what you do.
- Santa Claus: You mean, be Santa?
- Noelle: No, Nick is Santa. But I would like to help decide what toys to make, and fly the sleigh, and do something really important.
- Santa Claus: You do, Noelle. You make everyone jolly with your cards and your Christmas cheer, and you know how much your brother depends on you. So you can help him, and always keep his Christmas spirit up.
- Noelle: Sure. I can do that.
- Santa Claus: I'm counting on you. [Hugs her again] Merry Christmas, Noelle.
- Noelle: Merry Christmas, Dad.
A Christmas Party/Zordon assign Pooh and his friends their first First Christmas Mission edit
(We go few years later, we go to Hundred Acre Wood)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Many years later, as you we all know Pooh and his friends lived in enchanted place called the 100 Acre Wood. As Christmas is coming in few weeks away, our friends is just about to had a Christmas party before the big day. And Pooh’s about come back from getting a Christmas tree.
(We see Pooh just walking by to his home, as he caring a big tree. While he singing his song)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Oh hello Pooh, that's a very nice tree you got there.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh, yes, thanks. I fount it myself. Oh!
(Pooh ran into his door, as the tree block his way in. As he go around back of the tree and tries to shuft it inside his house. And then, the tree goes throw fast, as it flew over and landed on one of Pooh's honey pots. Pooh was holding on the tree.)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Wow Pooh, I see you're getting ready for Christmas huh?
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh, yes, as soon my friends bring the decorations, we're having a early tree trimming party and exchanging gifts.
(Falls down the tree and roll to his chair and knock his shelf, as a present land on his belly.)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Oh what is that, Pooh?
- Winnie the Pooh: Well, it's a special Christmas gift form am secret Santa, of course. And I wana show to my friends. Won't my friends surprised? (He hears a knock of door) [gasp]
(It was Piglet, who been knocking)
- Piglet: Pooh Bear!
- Winnie the Pooh: It's Piglet!
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Hurry, you'd better hid the gift! And quick!
- Piglet: [Off-screen voice] Pooh Bear!
(Pooh tries to hid the gift, as he look some spots to put in, not working. Piglet still waiting behind the door)
- Piglet: No one seems to be home.
- Rabbit: [He shows up] Pooh? [Knocking the door] Are you there?
(Pooh still tries to hide the gift)
- Tigger: [Shows up too] Well, maybe we've got the wrong house. [Chuckles] (Piglet and Rabbit look at him) Okay, maybe not. (He knocks the door really hard, as Pooh got nervous)
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh, dear.
(He search everywhere to put the gift, but nothing. All it's left his honey storage room)
- Piglet: [Off-screen voice] Pooh Bear!
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] You better hurry, Pooh!
(Pooh founds a empty honey pot, as he put gift in it. He left the room, but second later, he comes back to get a full honey pot)
- Winnie the Pooh: Well, well, well. Here's one I must have missed at lunch.
- Rabbit: What is going on here?
- Piglet: I'm afraid I don't know.
- Tigger: Well fellas, why don't we just open the door and see what's happen in there?
- Rabbit: Oh, no, we couldn't just... I mean, it wouldn't be... I... No, I don't think... (Tigger opens the door a bit) [muttering, coughing] Excellent idea, Tigger.
(Rabbit opens to door, as Piglet, Tigger and Rabbit see Pooh eating and got stuck his head on the honey pot again)
- Rabbit: Now why doesn't this surprise me? Okay, fellas, let's get busy. Gifts here and decorations there.
- Tigger: I say we deck the halls.
- Piglet: [see the tree] It certainly is a tall tree.
- Winnie the Pooh: [still stuck inside a honey pot] Hello guys, glad you all made it.
- Tigger: Hello there, Pooh boy. I got the stuff for the tree.
- Piglet: I brought a star for the top.
- Rabbit: And thanks to Kanga, I brought some honey cookies.
- Winnie the Pooh: Did you say honey cookies? [He got out of the honey pot] -Oof!
- Piglet: Oh Pooh, they're not for eating, they're for hanging on the tree.
- Rabbit: That's right Pooh, and they're specially not for used for Christmas cookie like you to eat with.
- Winnie the Pooh: Well then, may I have some? Uh.. um... [Rabbit gives Pooh the look] to.. to hang on the tree, of course.
- Eeyore: [Shows up] Well, better late than ever. Merry Christmas, everyone.
- Piglet, Tigger & Rabbit: Merry Christmas!
- Winnie the Pooh: Merry Christmas to you, Eeyore.
- Tigger: Boy, I can't wait to get this year's Christmas starts, I been waiting for this all year. Ho-ho-ho!
- Piglet: Oh yes, Tigger. Specially we can finally had normal Christmas after we'd had our first mission to met Belle and Adam.
- Eeyore: I can agree with that Piglet.
- Rabbit: Yes, and to make this a special Christmas this year, I plan us of gift exchange for Christmas day Night.
- Winnie the Pooh: But Rabbit, what kinda plan that are you planning for that?
- Rabbit: Very simple Pooh, I'd assigned us into two, so they've can give gifts together. Now Pooh bear, you'll be giving gifts each other with Piglet, and while I'll be doing it with Tigger. [Tigger bounces on him] Yech!
- Eeyore: What about me?
- Rabbit: Uh, you Eeyore?
- Eeyore: Forgot about me, didn't you?
- Rabbit: Uh...
- Eeyore: If figures.
- Tigger: Don't worry Donkey-boy, we'll find an way to let you join in, maybe Christopher Robin will be your partner?
- Eeyore: Have to get up to do that. Thanks for the offer Tigger, but don't really feel like it.
- Tigger: Oh that poor guy.
- Winnie the Pooh: [thinking a bit] Why, how about you can join me and Piglet, Eeyore? It'll be kinda fun if you join us for gift exchange.
- Piglet: Yeah, I'm sure it wouldn't be much trouble.
- Eeyore: Thanks, I'm kinda.... glad.
- Rabbit: Now that everyone is settle, we can make this year's best Christmas ever.
- Winnie the Pooh: [remembering something] Oh wait, I forgot something to tell you guys.
- Piglet: Tell us what, Pooh?
- Winnie the Pooh: I received a gift from a Secret Santa form other day, and I wanna show you guys what I got.
- Tigger: Really, you don't say? Uh, where is the gift Pooh-boy?
- Winnie the Pooh: Well it's in my honey storage room of course. I'll get right now. [Runs back to honey storage]
- Rabbit: I wonder what Christmas gift that Pooh get?
- Tigger: Me too, Long-Ears.
- Winnie the Pooh: [Comes back with the Honey pot] I got it!
- Rabbit: Pooh, that's not a gift, that's your Honey pot.
- Winnie the Pooh: Yes, but inside the Honey pot, is the gift. [He brings out a box]
- Piglet: Wow, the box is really nice.
- Eeyore: It is an nice box, witch I doubt.
- Piglet: Well let's just open the gift and see what is its.
(They open the gift from the box, and what inside is five watches)
- Piglet: What are those things?
- Rabbit: I believe those are watches Piglet.
- Eeyore: If you ask me, that nobody is. What are watches anyway?
- Rabbit: Well Eeyore, Christopher Robin told me about those things. Watches are an special clock that you bring with you anywhere you want.
- Piglet: Oh, I see Rabbit.
- Winnie the Pooh: But how does it work?
- Tigger: Does it really? (laughs)
- Winnie the Pooh: I don't know Tigger. That's why I'd asked.
- Eeyore: Well maybe we should try it out, and see it if they'd works. That is.
- Rabbit: That's a good idea, Eeyore. Now everyone get your watches. (Everyone grab the watches and put them on their hands) Okay, when I say "now," we all turn on our watches together at once, got it?
- Tigger: Got it, Bunny-boy!
- Rabbit: Okay ready?
- Everyone: Ready!
- Rabbit: Okay good. One... two... Now!
(Everyone turn on the watches, and it was mysteriouns transported out of Pooh's house. And suddenly, everyone was at Command Center)
- Alpha 5: Oh, in coming! [Pooh and others appears and landed on him]
- Rabbit: I guess we're back at Command Center.
- Eeyore: It seems we've are.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh dear. Perhaps it wasn't a best Christmas gift after all.
- Alpha 5: Oh, welcome the Chosen Ones. What's brings you to the hood?
- Tigger: Looks like Alpha 5 is talking pronouns words again? Ho-Ho!
- Zordon: [Comes in] Welcome back, my deer good friends. And Merry Christmas to you all.
- Winnie the Pooh: Merry Christmas to you too, Zordon.
- Piglet: We're wasn't expecting to come here today, Zordon.
- Tigger: Yeah, we've got these watching-thingys from Pooh's secret Santa.
- Rabbit: And what they did it's they've made kinda transported us here.
- Zordon: It seems you five had an very special invention in your hands, my friends. Not only you all have those watches, but you also tapped into the command center's teleoportation unit. With proper adjustments, it will allow you to transport here in an emergency. But until Alpha can reprogram it, it will serve a two-way communication link between the command center and each other from wherever you are.
- Winnie the Pooh: Well, I guess the watches are the best Christmas gift after all.
- Alpha 5: Hmm, this is easy. I have to reflex the... [He goes mallfunction] Uh ho! (He goes around amount crazy and saying "Uh oh" few times)
- Pooh and his friends: [Laughs and chuckles]
- Zordon: Well, since you'll here anyway, I do had a very important info that I wanna talk with you.
- Piglet: Really Zrodon?
- Alpha 5: Yes, this is really serious business to disgus.
- Tigger: Okay.
- Zordon: As you all know, Christmas is coming in few weeks away.
- Winnie the Pooh: Yes Zordon, we all know that in deed.
- Piglet: Yeah, and we're can't wait for Santa to deliver his gifts to us and the rest of the world.
- Rabbit: That's right, why he's a genius of organizations. Delivering gazillion presents, in time, in one night all round the world. My, if I only had one Christmas wish, if to see how he does it. Oh, yes.
- Tigger: See Santy? Ho-oo! But nobody see Santa on Christmas Eve. It's a law. But, that's why he's Santy, right?
- Rabbit: Oh yes, of course. But I still want to meet the Santa the in person for once, I think.
- Zordon: But unfortunately that's info I'd wanna to talk to you. Because it hurts to say this, but Santa is sadly pass away.
- Tigger: You mean Santy is gone?! (gasps and sutters) What? That's ridiculous! Santy can't die, he lives forever! Can he?
- Alpha 5: I'm afraid it's true Tigger. He just passed away with coming age that can't be Santa anymore.
- Piglet: Oh, d-d-dear.
- Winnie the Pooh: No it can’t be! Santa is gone.
- Eeyore: I’m afraid they’re telling the truth, Pooh.
- Rabbit: But if you telling us that Santa is gone, that mean no one is delivering his presents.
- Tigger: [gasp] And if no one can't deliver Santy’s presents.
- Winnie the Pooh: No one will get any.
- Piglet: What ever we will do!
- Zordon: But there's hope for a new Santa to take his place.
- Rabbit: Really? But how?
- Tigger: Yeah, how possibilitie to a Santa will could to take his place?
- Alpha 5: Simple, this Santa just happen to had a family ancestors for generations.
- Zordon: That's right Alpha, as we'll observed it form at the viewing globe. [We see a image of a list of pass Santas, year after year] This type of family is very special family indeed, as they called Kringles. And for the last 2,000 years the passed ancestors have been the Santas that bring joy to children all over the world.
- Rabbit: Amazing.
- Eeyore: A generation of Santa. Who know?
- Zordon: And with passing the latest Santa, which he's now had his own two children.
- Winnie the Pooh: Really?
- Zordon: Yes Pooh, as his son named Nick, which he'll become the next Santa Clause.
- Tigger: How interesting.
- Zordon: And also, she also had a daughter named Noelle. She also had favor of Christmas of most of all.
- Rabbit: Curious I’d save.
- Piglet: Did they miss their father very much?
- Zordon: I’m afraid they are, Piglet. But the most who really affected is Noelle. She really loved her father most of all, and she deeply miss him.
- Tigger: Oh, I can tell she has.
- Alpha 5: And mater things worst, Nick is having a hard time to becoming a Santa in short amount of time.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh my.
- Tigger: Poor kid, he must hading a bad time to become the next Santy Claus.
- Rabbit: It muss be terrible for him.
- Tigger: It’s more then terrible, It's miserable!
- Winnie the Pooh: Uh Zordon? Do you think perhaps we would go to the North Pole and help him?
- Piglet: But Pooh, you sure about that?
- Tigger: Yeah! Why do you think we are gonna help Santy’s son to become the next Santa Claus?
- Winnie the Pooh: Well… [Chuckles] since we did a great job with our first mission when we met Belle and Adam. Perhaps, we could do another mission like that, but in helping Nick. And besides, there could be some Honey in the North Pole. and there’s rumbling in my tummy.
- Eeyore: It figures.
- Zordon: Why that’s a good idea, Pooh. You all can go to the North Pole and help Nick to become the next Santa Claus in time for Christmas.
- Rabbit: Yes, It's a wonderful idea! Why I could’ve think of it? And as a matter of that, this type of mission could be our first Christmas mission.
- Piglet: I can agree with that, Rabbit.
- Eeyore: Me too.
- Piglet: Oh Pooh, that's a very good idea you had.
- Winnie the Pooh: Why thank you, Piglet. I guess.
- Tigger: So what are we waiting for? Let's head to the North Pole and help Nicky-boy to become the new Santa.
- Alpha 5: Yes Tigger, but there's one additional complication.
- Zordon: It is because of complication of the North Pole unque prollellty and cross curing of holiday magic, and specially Alpha 5 is still working on your new watches, our command center's teleoportation unit can't not transport you all there at this time.
- Piglet: But what about Sora? He and his friends are Power Rangers, they've said that went to the North Pole with the help of teleoportation unit.
- Alpha 5: That maybe true Piglet, but that's only works when they're Power Rangers.
- Rabbit: And none of us are exactly Power Rangers.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh bother. Hmm. How get to The North Pole, even without using teleoportation?
- Zordon: There's another way, Pooh. We recently found a way for you guys can travel there without our teleporting. As we show you once again at the viewing globe. [We see a image of a Magical sled] This magical sled we just found will get you guys to the North Pole with just of minutes.
- Rabbit: I see.
- Eeyore: But where did you two find that sled?
- Alpha 5: That's the thing, Eeyore. We don't know where it come from, but we just glad we found it for this situation.
- Zordon: All we know that sled is just came out of nowhere. But the sled is belong to someone is name of license plat called "Barney."
- Tigger: Barney? [To Pooh] Do you know someone like that, Pooh-boy?
- Winnie the Pooh: I don't know Tigger, but I wish I know.
- Rabbit: Well whatever the case is, we can't solve the mystery of "who sled belongs to" now, we gotta get going to the North Pole and help Nick.
- Zordon: Alpha 5 will transport you to the location of the sled. But be careful fellas, Christmas and Children believe of magic is counting on you.
- Winnie the Pooh: Don't worry Zordon, we'll go to the North Pole and help him become the new Santa in time for Christmas for everyone! Or my name isn't Winnie the Pooh! Which it is.
- Zordon: Good luck my friends, and may to Power to protect you.
- Alpha 5: Keep warn, my friends. [He press buttons to make Pooh and his friends teleport to the sled]
(Pooh and his friends arrived at the sled location)
- Piglet: Do you think we arrive at the sled?
- Tigger: I wish I know.
- Rabbit: [notice and spotted the sled] Look! There it is! That’s the magic sled that Zordon was talking about.
- Piglet: It does look nice.
- Eeyore: Now that we’re arrived at the sled. What are gonna do now?
- Rabbit: Well Eeyore, we’re gonna figure out how to start this sled and start heading to the North Pole.
- Winnie the Pooh: But Rabbit, how are we gonna we gonna start that sled and take us there?
- Rabbit: I don’t know Pooh. To be honest, I have it and think of that so far.
- Tigger: Maybe I can take on how to work this sled thingy.
- Piglet: Are you sure, Tigger?
- Tigger: Of course I’m sure, Piglet-pal. Working on with these type of things is what Tiggers do best.
(Tigger is doing something wrong with sled, but Rabbit stop him in time before something goes wrong)
- Rabbit: Oh, no. {grabs Tigger} Stop! Stop!
- Tigger: What’s the matter? Am I doing something wrong here?
- Rabbit: Eh— You’re ruin the sled!
- Tigger: What are you talking about Long Ears? I’m just trying figure out how this works.
- Rabbit: But you missing the point Tigger! This is a magical sled, we need some magic to make it work!
- Tigger: Oh. So this is magic sled, huh? I forgot. [laughing]
- Piglet: But how are we gonna get magic for the sled?
- Eeyore: That’s a good question, which I doubt.
- Tigger: Well if we have some Christmas magic, it'll would be easy to fly this sled.
- Rabbit: For your information, Tigger. The only way we get some Christmas magic if we sing a song or something.
- Tigger: Hey that’s it! If we sing a Christmas song, the magic sled would work and flies!
- Rabbit: You're right, Tigger! Wait a minute, Tigger's right? That can't be right.
- Winnie the Pooh: But Tigger, if the magic sled is can be used in, um Christmas song, how shall we know what song to sing about to get some?
- Tigger: Easy Pooh-boy. [in The Prince {from The Nuttiest Nutcracker}’s voice] Sometimes you have to see as much to find the right song in the Christmas spirit from your eyes. You’ll have to had a little faith.

- [Tigger]
- Keep on---
(The song stops as Rabbit interrupts Tigger from singing)
- Rabbit: Alright Tigger, I think you had enough with that song for too much now!
- Tigger: Oh right, sorry buddy-boy.
- Winnie the Pooh: [notices somethings up with the sled, as it glowing with magic] Guys, look! The sled, it's starting getting some magic!
- Piglet: I can't believe it, Tigger's song worked!
- Eeyore: It works!
- Rabbit: Now that the sled has enough Christmas magic, we can finally get going to the North Pole.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh yes, Rabbit. I've couldn't agree more. [chuckles]
- Tigger: Well. [chuckles] What are we waiting around here for? Let's get on that sled! Ho-hoo!
(Everyone gets on the sled as, as the sled is about to get reading to takes off)
- Tigger: Alright you guys, [in Barney's voice] is everybody ready?
- Everyone: Yeah!
- Tigger: [in Barney's voice] Oh, hold on tight then, here we go!
(The sled took off and flies throw the sky)
- Tigger: Wow! We're so high up, we can see everything from up here!
- Rabbit: I can tell, Tigger.
- Winnie the Pooh: [notice that Piglet is getting scared a bit] It's alright, Piglet.
- Piglet: Thanks Pooh, But I'd never been flying before.
- Rabbit: Don't worry, Piglet. I'm sure we'll be safe travels from here.
- Piglet: Okay, Rabbit.
- Tigger: [in Barney's voice] On to the North Pole!
(Cut back to the Command Center)
- Alpha 5: They did it, Zordon. They got the sled to work and they're on their way now!
- Zordon: Let's just hope they'll Nick in time before Christmas.
- Alpha 5: I hope so too, Christmas is just in days way.
Noelle enjoying Christmas Time in the North Pole/Pooh and his friends arrived the North Pole edit
(We cut back to Griffin House, as the Griffins are watching TV)
- Announcer [From the TV]: [off-screem] We now return to American Stand Around Like a Bunch of Bored Snails!
(We see on the TV screem, as 2 snails are standing bored. As we cut back with Griffins, with Peter walks in with a house phone)
- Peter Griffin: All right kids, gather around. Time to make our yearly terrible call to great Aunt Helen.
(Peter dial the phone number and rings. And then Aunt Helen answer the call with hearing her voice from the phone)
- Helen: [voice from the phone] Hello?
- Peter Griffin: Hi, Aunt Helen, it's Peter, Lois and the whole family. We're calling to say Merry Christmas...
- Helen: [voice from the phone] Peter's lowest what?
- Peter Griffin: We-we were just calling to...
- Helen: [voice from the phone] Are you there, Dear?
- Peter Griffin: I hope you got our card.
- Helen: [voice from the phone] We had quite a cold snap here.
- Peter Griffin: [to other Griffins] Okay, nobody talk-- We'll just wait for her to talk.
(They waited for few seconds until Peter--)
- Peter Griffin: Well, we just wanted to...
- Helen: [voice from the phone] Are you still there, dear?
- Peter Griffin: Darn it! So, how was the...
- Helen: [voice from the phone] It's been rather cold. The pond froze over a family of raccoons.
- Peter Griffin: All right, well, Merry Christmas.
- Helen: [voice from the phone] Are you there, dear?
(Peter hands up the phone and put it away)
- Chris Griffin: Dad, can we hear more of that story about Pooh's first Christmas mission?
- Peter Griffin: Ah, right. Now everybody listen up while I stuff the rest of this shenanigans down your throats. Now, if you remember, Santa's kids just grew up and Christmas is still Noelle's favorite time of the year. But with their father just passed away, Nick would become the next Santa Claus, especially they are Kringles, because for 2,000 years of so, their ancestors have been the Santas that bring joy to children all over the world. In fact, Nicky is practicing to become Santa at this very minute.
(Cut to the North Pole, we see Nick practicing his run, which he's hading a hard time with)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Unfortunately, Nick is hading a hard time flying the sled like his dad does.
- Nick: Am I supposed to land on the house? Slow down! Slow down! No, no, no! [He crashed on the roof] We can work with that, right?
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] I think he's actually an improvement, I can't tell he is or not. But everyone form the North Pole been working super hard to help him get ready, including his mother.
- Mrs. Claus: Well, dear, that was, um... Well, you know.
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] And Santa's Helpers are singing...
[Santa's Helpers]
Crashing all the way
Ha, ha, ha!
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] Their dork geeky cousin, Gabe, and his Tech Elves are doing geeky things or whatever. How should I know, but they're really excited about it.
- Geek Elf: Oh, my gosh! We did it!
(We go to Noelle, as she making her Christmas Cards for the North Pole, as she just about finishing up a card)
- Peter Griffin: [Off-screen voice] And as for Noelle, she still making her cards and spreading Christmas cheer, just like her dad told her to. She don't know what everyone would do without her.
(She just got up from her desk, as walks to the bedroom window. As she opens the window, as she see the view of the North Pole, as she sigh with joy. As she starting singing in harmony few times, until...)
- Noelle: Yo! Snowcone! Dude!
(We see a white hyperactive little reindeer named Snowcone, as flies towars her, but got crashed into a wall, but got up. As she got something for her for the Christmas card)
- Noelle: Oh! Yes, who's my hyperactive little reindeer? You are! Oh! You got it. {grab a plant from Snowcone, and put it in the card} [gasp] What do we think? "Merry Christmas. What are you getting this year?"
- Snowcone: [bleats]
- Noelle: I know, it totally captures the essence of Christmas, getting the perfect present.
- Snowcone: [bleats]
(There was an knock on the door and it was Polly)
- Polly: [VO] Noelle!
- Noelle: Mmm.
(Snowcome flies out of the window, as Noelle answer the door)
- Polly: Morning, princess.
- Noelle: Thank you, but I don't want breakfast.
- Polly: Yes, you do.
- Noelle: I'm very busy.
- Polly: I have been out in the forest, chopping firewood, carting it on my back, so that I could heat up the cottage and make your breakfast waffles, while I picked up all the dirty clothes, but none of that's really been a problem. [she drops the tray, as it scares Snowcome]
- Snowcone: [bleats]
- Noelle: I don't need you to do any of that stuff. Honestly.
- Polly: You would starve and die if it weren't for me.
- Noelle: That's what you think. Oh, my garland. This is delicious. Oh, my partridge-in-a-pear-tree underwear needs washing.
- Polly: Oh, well, then my Christmas wish has been granted.
(We see her walking down the stairs from her bedroom, as she walks out side]
- Noelle: Hmm. {she put her magical skates on} Come on, Snowy. I'll race you. Whoo!
(as they we see the the whole town of the North Pole, as Noelle and Snowcome racing throw out town)
- Noelle: Puffins, scatter! Sorry, guys! See you later, Snowy.
(as Snowcome flies off, as Noelle still skating throw out town)
- Elf Carol: Noelle! Elf Carol. Daily Carol. Can I ask you a few questions?
- Noelle: I'm all earmuffs. Fire away.
- Elf Carol: We know it's been a whirlwind preparation since your father, and our dearly beloved Santa Nicholas, passed away. How is your brother doing?
- Noelle: So jolly. We're all very proud of him.
- Elf Carol: And the big question is: will he be ready by Christmas?
- Noelle: Of course! He's a Kringle.
(We cut back to Pooh and his friends, as they still flying from going the North Pole.)
- Rabbit: Ah! The North Pole!
- Piglet: [in Roo's voice] We made it!
- Eeyore: Hurray, how wonderful.
- Winnie the Pooh: Oh my, I glad we are.
- Tigger: Well, [in Barney's voice] hold on everyone, we're coming in for landing!
(As the sled just about to take a noise down, as Pooh and friends about screaming in fear)
- Rabbit: Slow down! Slow down!
(With that, the sled just landed on the ground, and crashed into a pile of snow. It was so hard, it making the The north Pole sign shakes, even the tip of the pole)
- Eeyore: What happen?
- Rabbit: It seems we coming down too fast, and somehow we're crashed in bunch of snow.
- Piglet: It looks like it seems, Rabbit.
- Tigger: Say, look look. [chuckles] {notice a Snowman is down on the ground} There's a snowman in near by us.
- Piglet: And he's muss got down when we landed here, we gotta help him get him up again.
- Winnie the Pooh: Piglet, you're right.
- Tigger: Yeah, at least we can help him out. So come on, guys! Fixing snowman's what tiggers do best!
(They fixing the snowman, as the snowman is now standing up straight)
- Piglet: Oh my, he looks much better now.
- The Snowman: Why thank you.
- Piglet: Well you're well-- come.... [looks up the snowman]
- The Snowman: Hello there, little fella. What's your name?
- Piglet: Ahh! {got scared and jumped on Tigger}
- Winnie the Pooh: Rabbit, did the snowman just... talk?
- Rabbit: I think he did, Pooh. But how's that possible?
- Tigger: Guys, don't you remember? Christopher Robin said if we believe in the Christmas spirit, anything can happen.
- Eeyore: I think you are right, Tigger.
- The Snowman: Welcome to the North Pole.
- Under. Under.
- Ah! Okay.
Under your tongue.
All right. There you go. Ooh!
Santa, I got you a new scarf.
And check this out.
Three Weeks To A Jelly Belly...
What happened? Mother!
Santa, I thought
you were at sleigh practice.
Santa tried to land again
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
He missed the roof and hit the den
Fa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Thank you, Santa's Helpers.
It was a horrible example of what can
go wrong when you're using, well,
outdated technology.
- After Cousin Nick crashed, the...
- Oh!
I'm sorry. Did you just refer to him
as Cousin Nick?
Shouldn't you be
calling my big brother "Santa"?
Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought
that since we were all family, that...
Well, he's Santa to you,
he's Santa to everyone.
He's even Santa to himself.
Well, actually, I'm pretty informal
when I'm alone.
I'm just Nick.
Alone. That's a jolly idea.
Why don't we all just give Santa a moment.
Okay.
Excuse me, Gabe.
This is not going well at all, dear.
Dasher nearly broke an antler.
And we're way, way behind schedule
at the workshop.
You need to do your job and give
your brother some Christmas spirit,
or else we're not gonna be ready
for Christmas.
Oh, this is heavy.
The Book of Santa.
I've read it. I've memorized it.
I've listened to it on tape.
I just don't get it.
Okay. Well, we are gonna read it together
and we're gonna figure this out.
Let's start at the top.
The top is chimney access,
that's funny.
"The chimney will expand when you tap
three times with the magical candy cane
"and sing the first line
of We Wish You A Merry Christmas,
"assuming that you stay in key."
- Hold your reindeer.
- Yeah.
How am I supposed to know which is
the right present to give each child?
If I haven't determined
who's naughty or nice,
how can I pick their present?
You see, it's kind of a vicious circle.
Okay.
This is the list. It's filled with names.
Some are nice and some are naughty.
Some of the names
haven't been filled in yet,
and that's gonna be your job, okay?
Dad said, "It's not about
what the kid looks like.
"It's what's on the inside
that's important.
"You need to connect with their heart."
Oh, I love that.
How's that done?
I have no idea.
Just focus really hard, I guess?
Okay.
Uh... Nice.
She cheated on every math test
she ever took.
That's a... stocking full of coal
if ever I've seen one.
Yeah. He saved a kitten from a tree,
after visiting his grandmother
in the nursing home.
So, nice?
Okay, we need to figure out what people
want for Christmas. Here we go.
- Football tickets.
- iPad.
Really think about this next one.
Take your time.
She looks like
she likes playing guitar,
and that looks like, uh, an old guitar.
So, I'm gonna say, um...
- New guitar?
- iPad.
You can do this.
- iPad?
- Polly!
- Okay, let's say I'm in Germany.
- Yeah.
A child wakes up, wants to talk to me,
I don't speak their language.
Yeah, but, um,
Santa understands all languages.
And so do you.
I saw you speaking Arabic to Elf Tippy.
Yeah, but that's because Gabe showed me
how to use this thing
called Google Translate.
Okay, Nick, I know
you're scared of the reindeer,
but you need to Santa up.
You've gotta show them who's boss.
"Grip the reins with both hands
while firmly saying 'On Dasher!'"
Grip, command.
Can't treat them like your cuddly pets.
You're almost in.
Look how good you're doing!
I don't wanna do this. No!
- This is great! Let it happen!
- No!
No!
Great job, buddy. That looked great.
- You okay?
- No!
Ugh.
All right.
- Two double hot chocolates.
- Great.
One with extra whipped cream.
And... peppermint.
Thank garland for hot chocolate
and peppermint.
Mmm.
I feel like I've been shivering
my whole life, you know?
Sometimes, I... I dream about getting out
and finding someplace warm,
where I can stretch and relax
and just breathe, you know?
- Then you should.
- How?
I'm Santa. I don't get a vacation.
I don't even get Christmas off.
You can't be Santa
if you're having a nervous breakdown.
Nobody wants you sliding into
their fireplace crying and weeping.
Nothing merry about that.
Can't go down chimneys.
I'm claustrophobic.
You remember those magazines
Dad used to bring me on Christmas?
Yeah, like People? That's how I found out
Jennifer Aniston's nice.
Yeah.
Travel And Leisure had those sections
about the perfect Christmas getaway.
Warm weather, swimming pools,
sun-kissed mountains.
You need to look in that magazine,
pick a place, get away for the weekend.
Bring me back some issues
while you're down there.
Ah! Cousin Gabe.
Hello.
I wanted to install GPS
and USB-C portals on the sleigh,
and was wondering if you knew
where Cousin... Santa, you know, was.
I think he probably took the sleigh
for a practice flight.
Well, the sleigh came back,
and all the reindeer are here,
but there's no Santa.
Well, it's not like him to just leave.
What's with all these magazines?
"InStyle, Travel and Leisure,
Martha Stewart's Living."
Um, I was helping Santa train,
and he seemed a little overwhelmed.
So I mentioned, almost as a joke...
Ho, ho, ho.
That he should go somewhere
and relax for the weekend.
And maybe bring back some new magazines.
That's probably what that's about.
But they're for all of us to enjoy.
It's not just for me.
But you guys seem mad.
I hope he's okay!
Where is he?
When was the last time you saw him?
Seven days and counting.
It's Noelle's fault.
What's gonna happen with Christmas?
- I hope it's okay.
- What happened to him?
This never happened before.
- Quiet.
- Where is he?
Quiet!
Silent night.
For the first time in 2,000 years,
a Santa has disappeared.
At the urging of his sister, Noelle.
I just said he should take
the weekend off.
You put Christmas in jeopardy, young lady.
- She did.
- That's so naughty.
Rest ye, merry gentlemen.
As Christmas is just six days away,
we must have a new Santa.
Wait. What about a rescue mission?
My brother could be hurt.
He might've fallen out of the sleigh.
No one but Santa has ever left the Pole.
And we have no idea where Santa is.
We could lose the sleigh or the reindeer.
Then there'd be no Christmas.
- No Christmas?
- A rescue attempt is far too dangerous.
Leaving me no choice but to call upon...
Gabriel Kringle.
- Gabriel?
- Me?
Please, approach the council.
But I'm in the Tech department.
And loving it.
Nevertheless, you must approach
because we must select
the next adult male Kringle
as specified by the Christmas covenant.
That's not exactly what it says...
They're elder elves.
- They know what they're talking about.
- Please.
Gabe.
By order of the council,
the pom-pom now rests upon your head.
- Really?
- Seriously?
I don't know about this guy.
Noelle, why did you
tell your brother to leave?
I thought he would come back.
You didn't think about
how he listens to you,
and how your advice affected Christmas
and all of the children in the world.
I just said, "Take the weekend."
- She had one job.
- To look after her brother.
What a princess.
I just said, go for the weekend.
Oh, Serge, hot chocolate,
double whip cream, and peppermint,
in honor of my brother?
We're all booked up.
Maybe try back in... July.
Oh, okay.
It can't possibly be that much.
What about my Kringle discount?
That's only for Santa's immediate family,
not cousins.
I want it shut.
It's been shut, which is why
this room smells like old stockings.
Uh...
Mother's furious, and everybody hates me
because I've ruined Christmas.
And I don't know if my brother's okay.
What do you want from me?
Stockings, sheets, and pillow cases.
Ho, ho... Ow!
Princess, for once in your life,
try cleaning up your own mess.
How do you suggest I do that?
"Take a journey to a better you."
Ugh. Glitter all over the floor.
And stop eating waffles in bed.
Hot chocolate and peppermint.
Nick.
Maui and San Juan.
What's between Maui and San Juan?
"Phoenix."
Phoenix, Arizona.
Princess, do you mind telling me
what you're doing?
I'm going to get my brother,
and you're coming with me.
No, I'm not.
Your mother will not be jolly with this,
and it is my job to keep you safe.
I left her a card explaining everything,
and you can't keep me safe
if you're here and I'm in Phoenix.
Phoenix? That sounds horrible.
Oh, hey, little guy.
Uh, I've gotta go away.
I know you wanna be on the team,
you're just not ready yet.
So keep practicing, okay?
Okay.
Yes, I know. I'm going to get him.
- Princess, get out of here.
- No.
Listen, you've never been
out of the North Pole.
- Polly.
- You do not know how to fly this sleigh.
Fine. Then it'll all be on Dasher.
Turn this thing around.
No. Not going back without my brother.
And it's your job to help me.
Destination, Phoenix, Arizona.
I guess this is their village.
Where is everybody?
- What do you think you doin'?
- Hi. I'm Noelle.
Stay right where you are.
We are looking for Santa Claus.
You've got presents.
Merry Christmas.
Feliz Navidad!
How are you planning on having Christmas
without the reindeer and the sleigh?
- Noelle took the reindeer?
- Mmm-hmm.
- And the sleigh?
- Mmm-hmm.
Huh...
That's so interesting.
What if not having the sleigh
or the reindeer is a blessing in disguise?
I don't think so.
This could be the perfect time
to start an online delivery platform.
- I don't think so.
- What if the reindeer have Lyme disease?
What if an asteroid
crashes into the sleigh?
These are real concerns,
statistically speaking,
and I think our customers deserve better.
We don't have customers.
We have children who need the magic
of a Santa coming down the chimney
and arranging each present
with love and care under the tree.
Okay, well, now you sound
like a crazy person.
Gabe, aren't you even worried about
your cousins, Nick and Noelle, and Polly?
Who knows what terrible things
have happened to them?
Uh, hi, thank you, yes, I...
My name is Helen Rojas,
I'm the manager
of the Desert Ridge Marketplace.
- Oh, it's nice to meet you.
- Yes.
Uh, you cannot perform or solicit here
on these grounds without a permit.
Can you stop, please? Or I will have to
have you arrested.
Can you... This is my desk.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Here, I have a...
- Oh!
Yes, thank you. Mmm-hmm.
Okay, now, uh...
Where were we? Um, arrested.
Okay, that sounds bad, but can you
just tell me, have you seen this man?
- Santa?
- Yeah.
He looks nice and polite,
so I haven't dated him.
Listen, miss,
this isn't the first time someone's tried
this kind of promotional stunt.
About two months ago, we had a guy
with a sleigh and a reindeer
- show up outside of Chase Field...
- That's him!
That's who I'm looking for.
Where did he go?
The North Pole.
Now, vacate the premises
or I'll have to call the police...
- Hey, Helen.
- Oh, yes.
Was it your idea to bring that sleigh
and reindeer in here?
Uh, yes, Dan. I'm dealing with it...
People are rushing into my Petco
trying to find reindeer food.
We don't have any,
so I just relabeled the birdseed.
They love birdseed.
This is going to be
our best Christmas yet.
You'll probably get a raise.
You might finally get to
take that trip to Hawaii.
Gosh, I'd love to go myself one day.
I've never tried this before,
so I don't know
if I'm gonna do it right, but...
Ooh.
Can you not do that, please? Thank you.
Did I do it wrong?
This release form protects
Desert Ridge Marketplace
from any liabilities
as a result of your presence.
Thank you.
Oh, Helen, which way is Phoenix?
Okay. Let's go find my brother.
Hold on.
Someone has to stay
and keep an eye on Dasher and company.
They're used to a strict regimen
of North Pole hay and training.
So, who knows what will happen
when they're faced with temptation?
So, you want me to go out there alone?
Noelle, you go out there and you be merry,
and you don't tell anybody who you are
or where you came from.
And always be ready to run away.
- I hate you.
- No! I am done talking with you about...
Every stupid time. I'm gonna lose it.
Oh!
Thank you.
Ah! Mmm!
There's something wrong with that.
Don't drink that. That's awful.
Nick?
Nick.
Fifty percent off everything.
More you buy, the merrier you are.
Sir, it's a privilege to wear that suit.
Put some pants on.
So naughty.
Have you seen this man?
Mmm-mmm.
Definitely not one of ours.
Cheap suit, no one's gonna believe that.
Sorry I'm late, dude.
Forgot my pants.
You know, Mr. Ortega, I think it's better
you know the truth about your brother
stealing all of your money
than to live in a fantasy.
I disagree.
Um...
Merry Christmas. Noelle Kringle. Jake?
Saw your name on the sign.
Why are you so red?
And why are you wearing a winter hat
and mittens in Phoenix?
Because it's an ensemble.
But I'm here
'cause I'm looking for my brother.
I'm worried something
might have happened to him.
Like what?
Well, my father ran a business,
and after he passed,
my brother was supposed to take over,
but he left and came to Phoenix,
'cause he said he needed to breathe
and stretch and relax.
But we have to find him because I know,
in his heart, he wants to
run the family business.
I find most people, they don't know
what's in their own hearts.
Let alone anyone else's.
That's if they even have a heart
in the first place.
Oh!
That's pretty stocking half empty.
Yeah, well, I'm a private detective.
You get "stocking half empty"
pretty quick.
- Do you have a picture of this brother?
- Yes. His name is Nick Kringle.
- Nick Kringle?
- Mmm-hmm.
- You're Noelle Kringle?
- That's me.
- You're pretty deep into Christmas.
- Best day of the year, right?
Yeah, well, it's definitely
a day of the year.
I'm on the way out, but I'll see
what I can do for $150 a day.
Money, yes. You cannot put a price
on what this is worth to me.
- Up front.
- Okay.
"In Santa We Trust"?
That's real gold on the outside.
And chocolate in the middle.
Look, lady, um, with all due respect...
Get some sunblock fast.
Uh...
- Jake, you don't understand, see...
- My phone died. Can I borrow yours?
I don't have a phone.
Oh, of course, probably hard to dial
with mittens on.
Only get two days with him before
Christmas, and now I'm late.
- With who?
- My son, my boy,
I'm supposed to take him
to a basketball game
and now my ex-wife's...
Let's find you a phone.
I'm sure somebody will let us...
No, people don't just let people
borrow phones.
- It doesn't work that way.
- It's Christmas.
Oh, I forgot it's Christmas.
Okay, excuse me, ma'am,
may I please borrow your phone?
Like I want your germs.
- Okay.
- See what I mean?
Excuse me, sir,
may I please borrow your...
Um...
See what I mean? Kringle?
Kringle?
Kringle?
Ask him.
- Who?
- That man, he's nice.
- He's nice?
- Yeah.
How do you know?
I don't know, I just know.
Excuse me.
- Sir, hi.
- Hi.
My friend has an important call
to make, his phone died.
Is there any way he could borrow yours?
Sure, no problem.
Oh.
- Oh, thanks.
- It's okay.
- Thanks a lot.
- No problem.
Noelle Kringle. I hope you get
what you want for Christmas.
- Matt Bautista. I'm actually a Buddhist.
- Oh, jolly!
My dad always said,
"Christmas is like sushi,
"the Japanese invented it,
but now everybody loves it."
Well, I do love sushi.
Thank you, I really appreciate that.
My pleasure. You guys have a great day.
- Bye, Matt.
- Bye.
Thank you, Kringle. Uh, I gotta run.
Give me that picture of your brother.
Come by the office tomorrow at 9:00.
Bring non-edible money.
Do they make that?
I'm kidding. I know they do.
And I'll find some. I will bring some.
Thank you for helping me,
you're being so nice.
It's a big day for nice.
Yeah. Big day for nice.
Merry Christmas,
Elf-folk, it's Santa. Santa Gabe.
As you may know, my cousin Nick,
the ex-Santa,
never completed the Nice or Naughty list,
but that's jolly.
Because it allowed us to develop...
FALALA.
Forensic Algorithm for Lateral Analysis
of Latent Altruism.
It's a digitized metric
which allows us to determine
a child's Nice or Naughty quotient.
For instance...
Holy night.
This is Kali from Brooklyn.
Using his internet activity,
school records,
and satellite surveillance,
FALALA was able to ascertain that
he is Nice. And he wants a PlayStation.
We're now standardizing
all packages in green, red,
or the best of both, swirl.
- Oh, what's this?
- Uh, guacamole?
- Guaca-what? Gua...
- Guacamole?
Guacamole? What is it made from?
Hi, Helen.
Can I have $150 a day, please?
Hey, Helen. We're all out of bird food.
They seem to
really be enjoying the churros.
Uh, you could buy some churros,
cut them into little pieces
and sell them as reindeer treats,
like you said, Helen?
Um, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well...
Don't keep these little nuggets
of brilliance all to yourself.
How many great ideas
have you been sitting on?
Three.
Let's get together. I'd love to hear
anything else you have to say.
You're full of surprises. Mmm.
Oh.
Mmm-hmm.
- You're the best.
- Oh, yeah.
- Helen.
- Yes.
I wouldn't... Um...
I can't give you $150 in cash.
But I can give you $150
in retail merchandise.
What would you like?
Bath Bar, Cinnabon, Chrysler Pacifica?
I don't know what those things are,
but I will take all of them.
Also, can we stay here tonight?
Come on. It's a Secret Santa party.
Huh.
Matt Bautista is nice.
Santa, we're still not clear
how you plan to deliver billions
of presents with no sleigh or reindeer.
First of all, there aren't actually
billions of presents, Elder Elf Abe.
Our research indicates
that there are only 2,837 nice children
in the world.
What?
Gabe, how is that possible?
Nearly every child fibbed,
refused to eat their vegetables,
or failed to practice
proper dental hygiene.
Joy to the world
Except for you
'Cause you forgot to floss
Oh, no, you can't measure
a child like that.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Which is why each naughty child
will be receiving an evaluation notice
explaining the decision
and encouraging them
to do better next year.
No!
Kringle, come in.
Was just lookin' at your case.
Oh.
Oh, hi! Who are you?
Oh, this is my son. Alex, this is Noelle.
- Hi.
- Hi!
Oh, I totally see the resemblance.
I couldn't find any money,
but I did bring all this stuff.
- Did you steal this stuff?
- Of course not. Stealing's naughty.
- Is that the new Madden?
- I don't know, maybe.
And also, I had all these
extra Christmas decorations
in the sleeve... of my jacket.
And I thought they might
brighten the place up a little.
Oh, thanks, that's kind. I haven't
come up with much on your brother.
I'm gonna need some more time, not today,
'cause Alex and I are going to laser tag.
- I'd rather go to work with you, Dad.
- Me too!
I never get to go to work.
Unless it's at the workshop.
But we're not going to a workshop. Are we?
I never get to see what you do.
It'll be interesting.
So interesting.
Um...
I don't know about that. But, uh...
Sure, if that's what you want to do.
Let me get your other file, Kringle.
So, Alex, are you excited about Christmas?
I have mixed feelings, honestly.
About Christmas? How's that possible?
It's complicated.
Maybe you're just not eating enough.
I can't. It's terrible.
The eggs are rubbery,
the bacon is burnt on the outside,
and raw in the middle.
Pancakes bounce, I don't even know
what that is, and there's no seasoning.
Would you like a candy cane?
No, I have to eat this.
I don't wanna hurt my dad's feelings,
he worked hard on it.
Oh, well, maybe I can help.
Just get a couple pancake...
- Oh!
- Kringle!
Hey! Good appetite.
That is how you grow up
strong and healthy.
So, Kringle, I called the police,
the hospitals,
the morgue,
the bureau of records, nothing.
Only place left to check are the shelters.
Shelters like igloos?
Good morning,
welcome to Phoenix shelter.
How can I help you?
Morning, my name's Jake Hapman.
I'm a licensed private detective.
We're looking for a Nick Kringle.
A Nick Kringle?
He's about 6'2",
he's dressed in a red suit,
he's got a beard, pom-pom.
I have a picture.
And, yes. I know how strange that sounds.
- That's so beautiful.
- She can't hear you.
- Oh. That's...
- She's deaf.
Sorry.
It's really a lovely picture, though.
My daughter says thank you,
and she wants to know what your name is.
My name is Noelle.
Do you know sign?
No. Not that I'm aware of, no.
It's nice to meet you too, Michelle.
What do you want for Christmas?
I need to go get her lunch,
but it was nice to meet you.
An iPad. You got it.
How did you just do that?
I don't know. I don't.
- Did you study it in school?
- No, I majored in calligraphy,
I had a minor in popcorn stringing.
And I...
None of this make sense.
What kind of world is this? This is awful.
You have people without homes
and food, and I'm so hot. God!
Uh, do you have any ice in this town?
Kringle, two minutes.
Hello. Merry Christmas.
- Can I get some fruit pops?
- Sure.
Ooh, fruit pops. There you go.
Do you want anything else?
Any gelato or...
No, I think I'm good. Thanks.
I like your pants, they're jolly.
Yeah. They're yoga pants. Like yours.
Yes. And these are my yogurt pants.
No. Yoga... pants.
Oh, yeah. I love yogurt pants.
- Never mind.
- Okay. Bye.
She was weird, right?
Where are you from?
A little town up north.
- You mean Canada?
- Canada wishes.
Mmm, instant hot chocolate?
Is this for real?
It's a powder. You pour hot water in it
and it becomes hot chocolate, instantly.
Mmm, sounds naughty.
It's way better when you make it
with real melted chocolate.
Yeah, I agree.
- That's how we used to make it.
- With your mom and dad?
We tried to keep my dad
out of the kitchen,
but he was in charge of
putting lights in the tree
and we'd hang stockings together.
This toy is messy.
I don't think
we're gonna be doing that this year.
'Cause it's complicated?
Yeah. Well, it's still Christmas,
you know?
And you still get a present from Santa.
Oh...
It's kind of offensive.
- I don't think I still believe in Santa.
- Santa's real.
He's under a lot of pressure right now,
but he's very real.
In fact, if you tell me what you want,
put in a good word for ya. Hmm?
Come on, give me a shot.
Try me, come on.
- Okay. I think I want...
- Hey, Kringle.
- I found your brother.
- What?
- Yep.
- How?
The yoga pants.
- Why do people keep saying that to me?
- Yoga.
You said Nick wanted to breathe,
stretch and relax? I did some googling,
and I found a Christmas Yoga Class
taught by a Nick K.
Nick K? Nick K! That's him! Ah!
Let's go find him.
Ready, and one, two, three...
- I'm gonna drop Alex at my sister's...
- Okay.
- ...and I'll drive you up there.
- Um, sir...
This says Santy Claus.
You know it's Santa Claus. I...
These'll just get sent back if you
don't fix that. Okay, thank you, bye.
You know what you need to do? You need to
get Alex the perfect Christmas present.
What about a cheese grater for Alex.
Or a George Foreman Grill?
Alex doesn't cook.
Oh.
Are you sure?
He analyzed the breakfast you gave him
this morning in great detail.
He really warmed up to you.
- He's a great kid, isn't he?
- Yeah. Oh, steak knives.
Sometimes, I feel like a hyped-up
camp counselor when he's around.
I have to make sure
he's havin' a good time
since we don't get to
see each other as much.
And I feel guilty and...
And then I overcompensate and...
I don't know.
That must be hard.
Anyway, here we are.
Oh, hey, there it is.
Okay.
You were so great with Alex,
I wanted to give you this.
This, thank you.
Wow. Um, it's, uh...
Oh, mmm...
Yeah, it's... Oh, okay.
Oh, my gosh, it's magical. Look at that.
- Uh...
- Ugh.
Stuffed chimneys!
It smells like it should taste good,
but it doesn't.
You're supposed to put in on your face.
Haven't you ever used sunblock before?
Yeah, sunblock. No, I love sunblock.
It's for blocking the sun.
It's great. Is that good?
You might wanna spread it around.
Oh, no, yeah, I forgot to
spread it around. Just like that.
It's burning. Oh, my God, it's in my eye.
- Well, you wanna...
- It's in my eye.
- What do you like about this product?
- Stay still. Let me...
- Stop. Just gotta rub it in.
- Okay, yep!
- Just stay still.
- Worse than getting hit with a slush ball.
Just gotta... You got a couple of
extra coats, but...
Never know when you're gonna need
an extra coat. It is winter.
- Thanks!
- No problem.
All right. Good luck in there.
Say hello to your brother for me.
Will do. Merry Christmas.
Breathe in through your nose,
out your mouth.
Now assume... downward facing reindeer.
Very good, Cindy. Pete?
Ow!
Hey, hey!
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here?
- What are you doing here? This is crazy.
- What's on your face?
- Oh! Oh, it's sunblock.
Yeah, the heat here, right?
It's like being locked in the cookie
cottage during toll-house season, right?
- Oh, by the way... You scared me so much.
- Shh!
- Come on.
- Yoga voice.
- You had me worried sick.
- Yoga voice.
- Mom's been beside herself.
- Yoga voice. Stop. Wait. Ellie, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, okay. Just hold on.
Can't let anybody hear.
Listen, I like it here. Okay?
I like the weather. I like yoga, I mean,
I donated all my thermals to charity.
Weird, you can tell me about it
in the sleigh.
No, listen. I'm...
I'm not going back.
I'm sorry, I must have
cotton candy in my ears.
I know. I can't pretend to be
someone I'm not anymore.
I could, but I start to break out
in a rash, and my hair starts to...
Okay, Nick, I understand.
You're under a lot of pressure and I know
what it's like to be a Kringle,
- this family legacy we have to live up to.
- Not the same thing.
Well, I am Santa's daughter, so...
Well, no one's ever expected anything
of you, Noelle.
I mean, I've been training
to be Santa my whole life.
While you've been... What?
Cutting ribbon,
and making your silly cards?
- Thought you liked my cards.
- I do.
I'm sorry I said that.
I do like your cards.
They're very creative.
I admire your shakti.
- My what?
- Your female energy.
Besides, you're the one
that told me to go.
You said, you, you said,
"Go! Take some time."
I said take the weekend.
Nobody listens to me.
You know how hard this has been?
Everybody at home is blaming me,
yelling at me,
and nobody's giving me
my Kringle discount anymore.
So it doesn't matter
that I'm finally happy
or that me leaving the Pole was the
best thing I could've done for Christmas.
All that matters
is what's happening to you.
Oh, you better not pout,
you better not cry.
All I have ever done is try to help you.
You're a coward who's too afraid
to be Santa Claus!
Exactly! Bingo! Partridge in a pear tree!
That's what I've been trying to tell you!
- Then I guess, that's all there is to say.
- Wait, where are you going?
I'm going to the North Pole
where nobody expects anything from me.
Do you know what?
If I wasn't so enlightened,
I'd be seething with anger right now.
- Oh, ho, ho!
- Yeah!
- So now you don't like my shakti?
- No!
You don't like my female energy?
- Is this too much for you?
- Relax.
Oh, I'll give you female energy.
Oh!
Get ready, 'cause I...
Don't do that. Please.
Wow! That's a big deal in here.
Merry Christmas!
Come see
and play with Santa's reindeer,
only at Desert Ridge Marketplace.
Ooh!
Look at the reindeer!
Nick's happy here.
Yeah, he wants to stay.
You know what? Maybe it'll be fine.
Maybe Gabe will be a great Santa.
- Hey, Noelle.
- What are you guys doing here?
We heard about these amazing reindeer
at the mall.
Are you a part of this?
Well, yes, I know these reindeer.
Who are these people?
Oh, Jake, Alex. This is Elf...
This is my aunt, Polly.
She plays an elf in the show.
A grumpy, bitter, miserable elf.
I thought elves were
supposed to be like, uh...
Cute? That's a common misconception.
Now wait a minute.
I wanna show you something.
See this? What do you think it does?
Nothing. It's just for show. Try those.
So, how'd it go with your brother?
Oh, not great. Yeah, we got in
a big argument. So...
- The holidays can be tough.
- Mmm.
Alex is spending Christmas
with his step-dad and my ex, Jessie.
This is the first holiday
since the divorce.
So he's havin' a rough time.
She's invited me over
for Christmas morning.
That's amazing!
Oh, Alex would love that so much.
- You're gonna go, right?
- I think she just feels obligated.
It'll probably be awkward,
I don't wanna ruin Christmas for Alex.
I'm gonna stay at home,
put a frozen pizza in the oven
and watch some basketball.
Like a total loser.
Dad! The sleigh is amazing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I don't wanna be a party pooper,
but I think it's time we get goin'.
When are we gonna see
Noelle and Polly again?
- Probably never.
- Polly! That...
Well, I do have somewhere
I need to be for Christmas.
But you're gonna get your wish and spend
Christmas with your whole family.
Because you're nice. I mean, officially.
Come on. Thanks, guys. It was...
It was jolly.
Oh, I hope their Christmas works out.
Oh, well, look at you.
Worrying about someone else's Christmas
and not your own.
Now that is very mature.
Thank you, Polly.
Oh! Snowcone!
What are you doing here?
How did you get here?
Did you fly here all by yourself?
Polly! Look who it is.
You're so brave. You must have picked up
my scent from all the people in Phoenix.
How many people
wear gingerbread deodorant?`
Oh. What have you got? It's from Mother.
"Noelle, I know I was angry,
but even though you acted selfishly
"and foolishly and immaturely, and..."
Right, I'm gonna skip ahead.
"Disrespectfully, childishly.
"You must find your brother
and bring him home because...
"Gabe says there are
only 2,837 nice children,
"and wants to deliver their presents by
drone or something called Amazon Prime.
"As Kringles, for 2,000 years,
"we've dedicated ourselves to bringing
the joy and happiness that is Christmas
"to the world and we must make sure
nothing changes that.
"So I sent you the last flying reindeer in
the Pole to help you rescue your brother."
Okay, Snowy,
you found me, so I know
you can find Santa, okay?
He smells like hot chocolate and
peppermint, now it's mixed with incense.
He's on a whole journey.
But I need you to track him. Okay?
But we can't take you out
looking like this.
Just walkin' my dog, you know.
His name is Rover. Which is a dog's name.
That's why I named him that.
It's a very rare breed.
He's a white Polar Poodle.
You smell something? What do you smell?
Whoa! Rover!
- Merry Christmas, everybody.
- Rover!
Please make a donation.
What do you smell, boy? Was Santa here?
Yeah? What do you smell?
Where'd he go? Did he go this way?
He go this way?
I don't understand.
It's very professional,
you look very Dasher junior.
We gotta find Santa.
Next stop, Desert Botanical Gardens.
Yoga retreat.
Okay!
After you.
Oh, okay. Great job, little guy.
Wish me luck.
Nick.
Hi, I know you're mad at me.
Um...
There's things going on at home
that... only Santa can fix.
Really. See for yourself.
Okay. I realize I wasn't seeing things
from your point of view.
Nobody asked you
if you wanted to wear the hat.
We all expected you to take the reins
and that's not fair.
And... I'm sorry.
But we really need you.
Nick, won't you even speak to me?
Silent for how long?
When the flowers, yeah, when...
It's the... Is this a...
And a... A hand comes in.
Is that a bird landing?
You were always bad at charades.
This will take forever.
Two words? Two words.
Two words. First word, me.
Until sunrise.
Shh!
Okay. Well, I can wait till sunrise.
- No!
- Talk at sunrise. Yeah.
- I'll wait until sunrise.
- You gotta go.
- I'll be quiet as a mouse.
- You've never been quiet. Get outta here.
- I'm quiet all the time.
- One, two, three, be quiet.
I was only...
- I was talking 'cause you were talking.
- See! You can't do it.
Noelle, I'm sorry, you gotta go.
Okay.
I'm just gonna leave this.
You don't have to read it.
Just, if you want to.
I love you.
Whatever you wanna do.
Relax.
Team tracks for Texas.
He drives down the court,
it's an easy lay-up.
- It helps if you put salt on it.
- No one has that much salt, Dad.
Oh.
What did I do wrong?
You can make the pan hotter
before you put the meat in.
Don't press the patties down so hard.
It loses the juices and gets dried out.
And if you toast the bun,
and put some butter on it, it gives it
this crunchy texture each bite.
Oh, why didn't you tell me
you were into cooking?
I thought maybe you wouldn't like it.
Hey, man, I like everything you do.
Hey, maybe you could give me some lessons.
Guess who's coming
to the marketplace. Santa!
Hope you've been nice this year.
Let's go over there.
Supercuts. How do I look?
Like Prancer.
More like Vixen,
with that tuft of hair up there.
Santa!
- Nick. Hey!
- Hey.
I'm so sorry.
Look. What's happening at the Pole
is very naughty.
But I can't be Santa.
The Santa that they hired isn't here yet.
Sit with a couple of kids,
you'll feel The Twinkle.
And if you don't, no more pressure.
I will leave you alone. I almost promise.
- I can't, Ellie.
- Nick Kringle,
this is in your blood. It's in your stars.
It's in your destiny.
I left the suit in the North Pole.
That's a problem, Nick. Come on.
This costume is ridiculous.
I don't see any difference
from what you usually wear.
- Excuse me?
- Or...
You think I look like this all the time?
Worst thing anyone's ever said to me.
You, gather the reindeer.
- We're doing this and going home.
- Well, how is it different?
Little lower and to the right, please.
I just don't think
it's that great of an idea.
Santa!
- It'll be great.
- There's a lot of them.
- I don't know...
- You're gonna be great.
Santa is so excited to meet you guys.
You got this. Come on up.
Go ahead. Go on.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho! Hi!
Merry Christmas. What's your name?
Right back at you.
- His name's Ajeet. He's from India.
- Wait, how do you know that?
I don't know. You pick stuff up.
For Christmas, he wants his cousin
to come live with him
- in Phoenix, Arizona.
- Okay.
- And an iPad.
- An iPad. I got that.
That was fun, right? Merry Christmas.
- Do we break for lunch now or is that...
- No!
- Hello!
- Let's not make a meal out of this.
I'm only doing it so my parents
can practice using Snapchat.
Got it. So, Merry Christmas.
What's your name?
Tonya. Tonya Cooperman.
Tonya Cooperman.
And have you been a good girl?
I really don't see
how that's your business.
You're right. I'm sorry.
That was over the line, um...
Let's say you were a good girl,
what do you want for Christmas?
Why? You're gonna get it for me?
A pathetic mall Santa?
You're right.
He's not gonna get it for you.
Because you were so mean to Jennie Stalts
just 'cause she has a lisp.
Tonya, Jennie is your best friend.
Get over here.
How'd you know about Jennie Stalts?
She had a Jennie Stalts vibe,
I don't know.
Usually, it takes people years of yoga
to get that kind of awareness.
Oh, I see my friend. I'll be back.
- Wait, no!
- You're doing great!
No, I'm not. Please,
I don't know what I'm doing.
Next.
Hi, Merry Christmas. What's your name?
Why did you write this to me, Santa?
"Dear Roberto, due to your
continuous failure to make your bed,
"you will not be receiving
a present this year.
"We invite you
to correct this naughty flaw
"and reapply for present status
next Christmas."
Yeah, I didn't write that.
"Best wishes, Santa." Hmm. Right there.
- I got one too.
- I got one too.
- I got one.
- I got one too.
Hey! Oh, my God! I'm so jolly you're here.
Did you tell Alex that I would spend
Christmas with him and my ex-wife?
Yeah. It's his Christmas wish
to go to that Chinese restaurant
you guys always go to
on Christmas day, Sun Ming,
and have the red and green egg rolls.
But I told you,
Jessie and I don't get along.
She has a new life with her husband
and Alex, and I can't go over there.
Yeah. But if you use Christmas
to open up and talk about it...
Me? Open up?
Kringle, you're the one who omits things.
Like how you can speak sign language,
or chocolate money.
No. That's fair, um, yeah.
My dad was Santa Claus, he was great.
Every Christmas Eve,
he would slide down the chimney.
Could've come in the front door, but he
wanted to give us the full treatment.
Nick and I would peek out from our rooms,
I'd say I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus.
And then Dad would sit with us
and tell us about his night,
and that was my favorite present.
And then, Elf Polly, now Aunt Polly,
um, she would take us to bed.
Six months ago, Dad died,
so, Nick became Santa
and he was feeling overwhelmed,
so I told him that he should
take some time off,
get away for a while and he wound up here,
and now he wants to stay and do yoga,
and, um, everybody in the North Pole
is really mad at me.
So, I took the sleigh and the reindeer
to bring him back.
All right, thank you
for being so nice to Alex.
Good luck, Kringle. Merry Christmas.
Look, there's another Santa!
What're you doing?
This is my gig. Time to move.
Can I just say one thing?
- I'm certified.
- Sorry.
I have a diploma
from the Phoenix Santa school.
Sit back down.
This is where you belong.
- I belong in that chair.
- Excuse me. You sit down.
You are not even a real Santa.
I need you to show some respect.
- He's the real Santa.
- Let's discuss this over here.
Hey! You...
- You're coming with me.
- Oh, sorry!
- Leave her alone.
- This is unnecessary.
- Noelle!
- Nick, stay where you are.
- Sorry!
- These kids need to meet the real Santa.
- I'll give you a free yoga class.
- Uh...
Ho, ho, ho! Who is next? You, come on.
Look, my sister didn't mean any harm,
okay? She just...
She used to beat me up
for fun all the time.
She's just having fun, okay?
She's fun-loving.
I guess that's why she assaulted a cop.
She's talkin' about crazy things
like the North Pole and elves.
What's so crazy about elves?
They're holding her
for psychiatric evaluation.
Wait, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, though.
Thanks for the reminder.
I still gotta shop.
You still need to shop? Well, you know,
I can get you whatever you want.
You know? Straight from the workshop.
You want a My Little Pony Explore
Equestria Crystal Empire Castle playset?
Done.
I'll get it for you. With accessories.
I don't have any kids.
What a shock.
There's only two days
till Christmas.
Why don't you just eat
the whole gavel, Elder Elf Abe?
Now, I say we take all 2,837 presents,
put them on a motorized ice floe
with GPS coordinates and...
He can't do it!
GPS coordinates!
Gabe, for the last time,
there're more than 2,837 nice children.
Yeah!
However many presents there are,
we have no way to deliver them.
No, listen to me. I can do this.
We just need to do a reboot or maybe
get an appointment at the Genius bar.
Please, I can do it!
Reports are filing in
from all over Phoenix
of emails denying children presents
and signed by Santa Claus.
Young Evelyn Ramirez received one
because she bites her fingernails.
Another boy was rejected
because of his failure to floss.
It seems like there's a real shortage
of Christmas spirit this year.
Hopefully, we'll have some more
cheerful stories for you soon.
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho,
Merry Christmas!
There was a disturbing scene
at the Desert Ridge Marketplace today.
A hysterical woman...
Listen, I know we can't hang
this Christmas,
but I got you something.
Thanks, Dad. This is great.
I know you told Noelle
you wanted me to come over
and do our traditional Sun Ming
red and green eggroll thing, but I just...
Dad, I never told Noelle that.
Well, then, how did she know?
She said I'd get what I wanted
for Christmas, but I never told her.
- Come on, Alex. That's ridiculous.
- Dad, it's true!
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
Can I come in?
Sure, Aunt Polly.
Thank you.
Or should I say... Elf Polly?
Sit.
Now, I see she told you,
and I see that you don't believe her.
That she lives in the North Pole?
No. I tend to believe what I can see.
Well, if that's the only problem.
Oh!
You should get that looked at.
Let me ask you a question, Detective.
Can you see love?
Can you see sorrow?
Can you see joy?
Is there anything realer than that?
Like what you feel for your boy?
How can I help?
Get her out of that hospital,
and I will take care of the rest.
Why do you think
you're here today, Noelle?
Because I kicked a policeman,
which isn't illegal where I'm from.
Because we don't have policeman.
I see.
And where are you from?
The North Pole, and my dad is Santa Claus,
and now my brother is Santa Claus.
You can start laughing now.
I'm not gonna laugh, Noelle.
I've dealt with many patients
who have unusual identities.
I treat a man who believes
he's the tooth fairy.
Well, that's ridiculous.
And a woman who's certain
she's Mother Nature.
Wow. Some real nuts out there.
And I have another patient who's convinced
he's Frosty the Snowman.
Frosty's here?
No, no. Come on. Nice try.
Frosty couldn't survive in Phoenix.
At home, he doesn't even go indoors.
He's terrified of fireplaces.
Drama queen. Miss that guy.
You know, the thing is,
I just thought this was my chance
to do something right.
You know? I wanted to prove
I'm not some spoiled princess
who just thinks about herself and writes
her silly cards all day, you know?
I always thought, eventually,
I'd do something important.
- Yes?
- Sorry to interrupt, Dr. Sussman,
but I need Miss Kringle
on official police business for a second.
That's fine.
Right outside if you need me,
Jake. You got two minutes.
Look, I don't know how you knew
about me and Alex,
- and our red and green eggroll tradition.
- I shouldn't have interfered.
You know, but you made him happy.
And you made me...
Deliriously joyful.
Laugh... mostly at you.
Which still makes it my best Christmas
in a long time.
So, when Polly came to see me
about getting you out of here...
Wait, so you believe what I told you?
I believe that you believe.
But to get out of here,
stop talking about the North Pole,
and Santa Claus.
- Yeah. And sleighs.
- And sleighs.
Oh!
What? What?
Oh, the sleigh. You've seen it before.
You saw it at the mall.
You haven't seen it hovering
11 stories up, that's the only difference.
You okay?
Miss Kringle, I think that
we should resume and... Oh!
- Hi.
- Hi.
That's unusual.
Jake? It's Clara. Open up.
Quick, get in your...
- Sleigh, yeah.
- Sleigh.
You're not a total loser.
You're a nice person.
And a wonderful dad.
And you're very generous with sunblock.
Jake? Open up.
- Just go!
- Yeah.
Come on.
Careful.
- Oh, boy.
- Okay.
- Bye.
- Okay, let's go.
- Whoa! I'm not good at this!
- Yes, yes you are.
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
We miss you, Santa.
I'll be so blue
just thinking about you
Candy just doesn't taste the same
without you, Santa.
Decorations of red
On a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear
If you're not here with me
Just come back, we got
the milk and cookies for you, Santa.
And when those blue memories start calling
Snowball fights, the Coco. All the fun.
You'll be...
Santa's back!
Ooh!
My children are home!
I missed you! Oh, my goodness!
You did it, Noelle. Polly!
Uh...
I... I know I let you all down,
but while I was away, I...
I learned what it takes to be Santa.
It's about understanding people,
and, uh...
and really listening
to what they have to say.
And, um...
And just making everyone feel jolly.
Which is why I know that we have
a real Santa right here in the Pole.
Yes!
My sister, Noelle.
- What?
- What did he say?
Did he say "Noelle?"
Nick. I appreciate the gesture,
but what are you doing?
That's why I came home, you know.
The minute I saw you with those kids,
I knew.
No. Okay. Maybe I inherited a couple
of Dad's powers,
- but what...
- You have The Twinkle, Ellie.
A girl? Santa's not a girl!
Whoa!
Silent... night!
I rechecked the Christmas covenant.
And it turns out there's nothing there
that says a woman can't be Santa.
See?
It's just a tradition we've been
blindly following for thousands of years.
- These things happen.
- Oh, man!
The question is,
what really makes a Santa?
Ultimately, the one thing all Santas share
is the ability to inspire us
with the Christmas spirit.
Noelle, can you inspire us?
What does Christmas mean to you?
I used to think Christmas
was the best day of the year.
Presents and caroling.
But I met people for whom
it isn't the best day
because it reminds them they don't have
enough food to eat or a place to live.
Or maybe even someone
to share the day with.
And it got me thinking.
For thousands of years,
we've jingled bells and delivered toys,
and the world just gets more awful
and miserable. So what's the point?
But I also met a girl at a shelter
who drew these beautiful pictures,
and her Christmas wish wasn't for herself.
It was for her mother
to be able to find a job.
And I met a woman at a marketplace
who worked so hard to fill Christmas
with fun and music,
even though she knew she might not have
anyone to spend it with.
And I met this sweet, wonderful boy
who has this big heart.
And his father
who doesn't even believe in Christmas,
but made sure we could be home for it.
We have this list of nice people
from Hong Kong to Houston
doing wonderful, selfless things.
And I know Christmas
can't solve all our problems.
But it gives us hope.
It inspires us to be nice.
That might not seem like much, but...
when someone's sad or just lonely,
it can be the biggest thing in the world.
And presents are part of it.
I like presents as much as anybody.
Okay, more.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
But now, I think it's not just about
the presents we get.
It's about the presents we give.
The presents of love and understanding.
And also, iPads.
My little girl.
Looks like we got a Santa, guys!
Yeah, finally!
?????????/???????? edit
- Meg Griffin: But, Dad, I still don't understand the whole female Santa Claus thing. How can a woman become Santa Claus instead of a man?
- Peter Griffin: Oh, there's lots of stories of that, Meg. In order for one to become Santa Claus, a man or a woman has a telepathy to know the name of every kid in the whole wide world. And one has to check the list twice to see who's been naughty or nice.
Ho, ho, ho.
If a child wakes up, try to coax them
gently back to sleep.
I want everyone
to double-check everything.
Mother.
Um...
I'm not sure about this.
You know how it works.
It fits you when you fit it.
Sweetie, you have nothing
to be nervous about.
Um, son,
why don't we go check the reindeer?
The reindeer? They have ticks.
- That's... Come on.
- It's not...
- Let's just go.
- No.
Come on. Go.
What're you doing? You know
Santa has to fly solo on Christmas Eve.
Force of habit.
Once a nanny, always a nanny.
Elf Polly.
Yes?
I don't know if I'm ready, Polly.
You know what I'm really scared of?
Some kid's gonna wake up, look at me,
and say, "You're not Santa."
From the first moment
that I held you in my arms,
I could see something in your eyes,
and I said to myself,
"This girl has The Twinkle."
You're ready.
Oh!
Pull yourself together.
Wait. Someone's missing.
Dude, this is supposed to be our song,
come on!
Okay, Snowy.
I need all the help I can get.
You're my guy, right?
Fly straight?
You're facing the wrong way.
I'm really glad it's not me.
On Snowcone!
Puffins, scatter!
No! Snowy! Snow...
All right.
We wish you a merry Christmas
We...
Did we miss Greece?
We're Jewish.
I'm sorry, Dad.
No, no, no, no.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Go back to sleep.
- Seriously. Go back to... Oh!
- Ow!
Ma'am, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
No. Go back to sleep!
Hi.
She says, "Merry Christmas, Santa."
Santa?
Thank you, Michelle.
I needed that.
Now you go to sleep. Okay?
- Merry Christmas, Santa.
- Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Go to sleep. You go to sleep.
Sometimes, all you need
is a nice word from a friend
to make you feel comfortable
in your own boots.
But once that happened,
I was ready to go to work.
I went back to Greece,
and visited a few other places I'd missed,
and then I made sure to keep a promise
I'd made to Alex.
Oh, wow.
Your stop, I believe.
Yeah. Aren't you supposed to bring Alex
a Christmas present or something?
I did. He's sitting right next to me.
I don't know if this is a great idea.
I don't want my ex
and her husband to feel weird.
Traditions change. Right?
The new ones are scary.
But they might be great.
And if you know
what Christmas means to you,
the tradition's just the wrapping.
Christmas means spending time with Alex.
There you go.
That's jolly! Okay! Now get in there.
I'm serious. You get one ride. Get out.
- Go.
- Okay.
- Very busy. Very busy woman.
- Pushy Santa.
So, will I see you again?
Every December 24th.
I don't know what that is.
It's what you do when you think
someone's awesome.
Aw. Well...
- All right.
- Oh, right.
Got it.
Okay.
On Snowcone!
Merry Christmas!
Man, that's fun to say!
I was so happy that Jake
got to see Alex for Christmas.
- Merry Christmas!
- Dad!
I knew you'd come.
And Helen finally got her vacation.
And when Michelle and her mom
woke up the next morning,
they found a present under the tree
with a job listing
at a school for the deaf.
Oh, and an iPad. Obviously.
Dad always said you never forget
your first Christmas as Santa.
Okay, he said it to Nick,
but I overheard it,
and oh, my garland, was he right!
I hoped he'd be proud of me.
And I hoped everyone at home had
come around to the idea of a girl Santa.
The Epliouge edit
Look, Santa's back!
Turns out, I didn't have to worry.
Santa Noelle!
Merry Christmas, Santa Noelle!
Well, guess who came to town!
- Namaste, sis.
- Um, Namaste.
Congratulations, Santa.
Now that I was the 24th Kringle
to wear the red hat,
I had a couple small changes
I wanted to make.
We opened the first yoga studio
in the Pole.
Sorry.
I made Polly the first female elder elf.
Hey! Get out of my garden, now! Go!
Which I slightly regret.
These are high-intensity
infrared Santa goggles
which allow you to detect any lasers
between you and a tree.
Very impressive. Have we come up with
anything to deal with big, mean dogs?
Just this bone.
Okay. Keep working.
And as for me,
I mean, I'm Santa. It's great!
- Keep it coming.
- Thanks, Santa.
Thank you very much.
Okay, a letter from
Jake and Alex, everybody.
Alex is into music now,
so a slow cooker is out
and drum kit is in.
And throw in a pair of noise-cancelling
headphones for dad. Great.
When I was a little girl,
Christmas Eve was always
the best night of the year.
But this time, it was better than ever.
Because instead of getting the presents,
I was giving them.
(We cut to the Griffin one last time)
- Peter Griffin: And that is the story of Pooh's very first Christmas mission.
- Chris Griffin: That was awesome, Dad.
- Peter Griffin: Oh my gosh! I just realized that's the same story as Pooh's very first adventure during Christmas with Belle and Adam, which he was a Beast before!
- Lois Griffin: That's a wonderful story Peter, about a special Santa who she was not, did the rightful thing to others then herselves to begin with.
(Then, a knocking on the door, as Peter answer it, which it was pregnant woman and her husband are freezing from the cold)
- Peter Griffin: Yes, can I help you?
- Man: Hi. We're from out of town and our car just broke down! My wife's in labor. Can we use your phone?
- Peter Griffin: What?! No!
- Lois Griffin: [Off-screen] Peter, who is it?
- Peter Griffin: Couple of stupid scumbags working some scam, saying how they want to use our phone.
- Lois Griffin: What?! Do they want all the present under the tree, too?! Get rid of 'em!
- Stewie Griffin: They've not gonna do that, are they?
- Meg Griffin: Dad, shut the door, it's freezing!
- Woman: Please, you've gotta help us!
- Peter Griffin: You're lucky it's christmas or I'd call the cops on you dirty girifters! Now you and your chick wife get out of here! [Slams the door]
- Lois Griffin: Peter, you handled that perfectly.
- Peter Griffin: Merry Christmas, Lois.
(Peter and Lois were about to kiss until....)
- Man: Please! We're begging you!
- Peter Griffin: [walks away] I'm getting the baseball bat.
