Time for mama to hit the shops.
[garbled murmuring]
[laughs] You all right?
If my face

then I am believings I better stretch.
[garbled murmuring]
It's not quite like that, dude.
It's more...
[gasping]
[coughing]
What's the big idea, Fox?
You and your Boov Out Boys trying
to sass me and my Boov friend again?
No, no. We just want to say...
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
We wish you a merry Christmas
And a happy New Year!
We wish you a merry Christmas, Tip and Oh!
[giggling]
Uh, you hate us. Why you all cheery?
This is the most magical time of the year.
And to celebrate it,
we're making a celebrity holiday special!
-For the Internet.
-Check it.
We have a stage, and decorations,
and lights...
and a cameraman.
And Stick's celebrity cousin.
We even have Kelly Clarkson.
Uh-huh.
Okay. Well, we're gonna go 'cause...
Don't you want to know
why we're putting all of this together?
-Not really.
-Because we're so bad all year
that we put all our hearts into making
a celebrity holiday special
that will surely bring joy to the world!
To get us off Santa's Naughty List.
Shh. It doesn't work
if you say that part out loud.
So you think that you're gonna bring joy
to everyone with this thing?
Yeah. Because...
We're getting nothing for Christmas
Mm-hmm.
We weren't good boys this year
But we want to get stuff for Christmas
So we need to give people cheer
[laughs]
We will film some holiday songs
Sung by celebrities
Our list for Santa Claus is long
So we must bring you glee
We will get something for Christmas
Ooh.
We'll bring the world some joy
[man] Aw, yeah!
Yeah, we will get something
For Christmas
[man] Oh, yeah!
Once we have been good Boov Out Boys
[laughs]
Oh, dang!
Did I hear this is beings
a celebrity holiday special?
You sure did.
Well, I hopes you were plannings
on including Sharzod,
since I am beings the most celebrated
celebrity Boov in all Chicago.
Uh, Fox doesn't really like Boov.
I'm sure we can find a place to squeeze
this fine Boov into our special-special.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, that's nice.
But this danky stage
ain't gonna cuttings it.
If I'm gonna be in your special,
then we're gonna film somewhere worthy
of a Sharzod number.
Well, what do you think, Oh?
Everything you have been
showings me is so...
[squealing]
Ha! Yep!
I'd say you get
what Christmas is all about.
-Except...
-What?

[male Boov] What is happenings?
[crying]
[distressed chatter]
Ribbons, ribbons.
Everywhere there's ribbons.
[Oh] Huh?
Tip, there are being no Boov
in the display window.
Hmm. You're right.
Guess that makes sense,
since you're probably the only Boov
that knows what Christmas is.
[whimpering]
They are not knowing of the feelings.
[sighs]
Uh, I think your face full deflated.
I am havings a hard time keepings it.
How can I possibly enjoys
this humans holiday
if my fellow Boov are not?
[somber music]
-Ooh.

A citations for you,
and a citations for you.
[whimpers]
What?
And you has been flyings with a bulb out?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
Hey, Kyle.
-What?
-Boop.
[gasps] Touching is a violation!
-[laughs]
-Uh, Tip.
Now I know how much
you are lovings to lord over a crowd.
Truth!
But it would be such a treats
if I could be the ones
to sharing this wonderful holiday
of Christmas-ings with my fellow Boov.
'Tis the season, bud. They're all yours.
[clears throat]
Boov of Boovsland!
Huh?

Friendlings come and gather round
There is somethings I has found
A world of wonders
Undiscovered by Boov-kind
It is so hard to describe
The fuzzies here in my insides
-Is it a Tummy Fish?
-No, it is being Christmas time
Christma-what?
Lettings me show you.
Simply start with a string
Of the brightest little bling
Then wrap it round
Your nostricles in a bun
-That's a new one
-Give a curly cane a lick
For now you has a tickle stick
Spreading giggles to each and everyone
Should I? Heh, nah!
They're having fun!
-Like this?
-[Oh] That is the spirit.
-How about a chorus?
-Yes, lets them hear it!
Christmas, we love Christmas times
Christmas makes our spirits climb
Feeling fuzzies all the times
Singing these rhymes
We repeat a hundred times
I am so likings what I am hearing
about "Christmas."
Yes, more!
Tellings us more, Oh! [exclaims]
You gottings it.
Take a thing called mistletoe
Place it on a friend's elbow
And together, start playing the bongos
Pull the socks off humans feet
Pack them full of Christmas meat
And taste the smoky, squishy goodness
With your toes
Cute, but gross!
[indistinct chatter]
Tellings us more! Tellings us more!
Keepings it coming, Oh!
Uh, okay. Um...
Ah!
There is a plump man in a cap
Who lets you sit upon his lap
And if you're good
You start to grow a bushy beard
Now it's getting weird.
And down at the South Pole
Got a workshop full of trolls
Who fly his sleigh around
With their pointy ears
It might be time to interfere.
I feel I should correct him
This blatant misdirection
A strange Christmas
Is being taught by this song
But the Boov are full of cheer
Without a mention of reindeer
Having fun
What could possibly go wrong?
Christmas all nights long!
Yes-ing! Yes-ing! In fact...
I has saved the best for last
The part that cannots be surpassed
Something much more
Than socks of meat or jingle gongs
It is the melody I sing
And the Christmas cheer I bring
-It is the music...
-[both] So let's all sing along
Christmas, we love Christmas times
Christmas makes our spirits climb
Feeling fuzzies all the times
Singing these rhymes
We repeat it a hundred times!
[grunts]
Yeah, Christmas!
[grunts]
Oh, you has taught us well
We are under Christmas spell
It is a holiday
We now trulies understand
It went as planned!
Thankings you for this gift
Our spirits you did lift
For now and ever
We has Christmas in Boovsland!
I am the man-man!

[Boov laughing and cheering]
[male Boov] Yeah, all right!
[Oh and Tip laughing]
[Oh] Ha-ha-ha-ha!
Merry Christmas!
[Tip] It's "ho-ho-ho," bud.
[Fox] Wow, boys.
I mean, wow! Check out this stage.
Sharzod said she wants to "dang up"
our celebrity holiday special.
[gasps]
[boy] Wow.
Start filming.
["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"
remix playing]
Check me out, this is my Wonderland
Christmas Dance, hunky mans
So strong when they lift
If this is Christmas
Then please count me in
Every year I'll be here
Here's some Christmas gifts
Ooh!

Showering me with jewelry
Because I am their Christmas Queen
What's that I see? Under that mouse-y?

String up trash, eat a tree
Lick everything you see

Before you meet him,

Fam around the table, menorah glowin'
One candle for each night

Only one thing I am picturin'
What?
Better hold on to your yarmulke
'Cause best part
of this Hanukkah is...

Latkes
Those potato pancakes in stacks
I would take racks
Of those crispy golden packs of potatoes
-Yeah?
-And onions

-Then fry it
-'Cause.
Without them it just won't be the same
If you want your nosh
You got to play the game

To smell something thinning
-The air
-Not again!
Uh-oh!
Latkes!
Bubbe's recipe's on point
Fry 'em up, fry 'em up
Love that sizzle in this joint
Fry 'em up, fry 'em up
Put 'em in your face hole
Stuff 'em in your mouth
Only eight days to fly
Before them latkes migrate south
Eight days of latkes
Eat 'em while you can
Eight days of latkes
Pound 'em by the pan
Fiddle break!
You haven't told the story
of Hanukkah yet.
Aren't you gonna talk about the Maccabees?
Nah,
I'm gonna mack on these latkes!
Shreddin' that potato
Givin' it a salt
Mash it into pancakes
Smother it in schmaltz
When you can't have any more
Lickin' grease off the floor
Belly stuffed, full and sore
Have to roll out the door
I'm a latke monster, hear my roar
Eight days of latkes
Eat 'em while you can
Eight days of latkes
Pound 'em by the pan
I'm all latke-meshugenah
Can't wait for my next Hanukkah

Incredible!
This holiday special is sure

Hmm?
O, holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night
Of our dear savior's birth

Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
Till he appeared
And the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks
A new and glorious morn
Fall
On your knees
Oh, hear
The angels' voices
O, night

O, night
When Christ was born
O, night
Divine

Those aren't lights, dude, they're stars.
And they've totally messed up
Earth's gravity.
[rumbling]
Um, yes, I am seeings now
how that can be a problem.
I wish I had said something
when I had the chance.

It's just... you were kind of
making stuff up about how to do Christmas,

but the Boov got carried away.
Excusing me, Tip,

the Boov would nots have
a Christmas at all.
Exactly.
Do nots putting this on me, Tip.
Just because I did nots understandings

[coughing]
Whoa!
Okay, I heard Chicago was windy,
but this is ridiculous!
[gasps] Kelly Clarkson?
I hope you weren't expecting Santa Claus.
Do you know what's going on here?
It's making it really hard
to figure out where I parked my car.
Uh, actually, this is all my fault.
Say what?
[sighs] I just wanted to show
my best friend how awesome Christmas is,
and now we're not even talking
to each other.
Hey. Keep your chin up, kiddo.
I'm sure it was just
a Christmas misunderstanding.
It happens a lot this time of year.
I tried to do it right.
I told him about the gifts,
and decorating, and the Ginger Buff Men!
You know, all the Christmas essentials.
And now the whole city's
gone straight to...
[horn blowing]
Whoa! I almost yachted right into you,
little guy.
Hey, you all right?
[crying] I really...
[sniffs] messinged up this time.
[upbeat music]
[gasps] Hollywood celebrity Ben Schwartz!
What are you doings here?
[whimpering]
Hey, come on, now.
There's no crying during the holidays.
[crying]
I has broken another holidayings rule!
[sobs]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Why don't you tell Benjamin Joseph
Schwartz what's got you down?
-[grunting]
-[whimpering]
[gags] Careful, I'm pretty full right now.
Me too! With sadness!
This is my first time holidayings,
and I think I did doings it wrong.
No way, buddy.
That's what's great about the holidays.
There is no right or wrong way to do 'em.
They just are.
Even if the things I did
ruined the Earth's gravitational stability
and could potentially put the planet
on a deadly collision course
with other celestial bodies?
Well, we all have
our own ways to celebrate.
[sniffs] Is that beings how you
are celebratings Christmas?
No, no, no, no, no,
this is how I celebrate Hanukkah.
Ha-nu whatings?
It is a different holiday
my family celebrates
around the same time as Christmas.
So every humans person is celebratings
different holidays and customs
at this time of year?
Yeah, yeah, yeah! But the most important
thing is that we're...
Celebrating them with our loved ones.
It's not about the Christmas tree itself.
It's about the blessing
of having everyone around that tree.
Yeah. I guess that's true, isn't it?
The magic of Christmas doesn't come
from presents, or decorations,
or yummy treats!
It comes from...
My gut!
Wonderfully stuffed
with those crispy golden tater cakes.
Every bite brings me right back
to my family kitchen
where we all gather round
and help my dad
fry up that greasy goodness.
Then we'd jam our faces full of...
Togetherness. With my family. My kids.
Seeing the joy on their little faces.
It's something so pure. So genuine.
So much more than any...
Tradition!
These latkes are like delicious memories,
and I'm just filling my insides with...
Something special that we can only
experience at this time of year.
It's bigger than any of us.
But small enough to be inside each of us.
No matter what you believe.
[both] It's more like...
[festive music]

[both] A feeling.
[laughing]
Oh!
Tip! Tip!
Oh!
Tip, Tip, Tip, Tip,
Tip, Tip, Tip, Tip, Tip!
I shouldn't have lost my cool.
I'm sorry, buddy.
No. I ams the one
who should be apologizings.
In all of my excitements,
I did nots take the time
to understands that Christmas is...
[both] A feeling!
[laughing]
Tip, I am believing
that if we can gets everyone
to embrace this concept...
We can un-ruin Christmas!
But how-the-how-the
are we goings to tell them?
Christmas, we love Christmas times
Christmas makes our spirits climb
[strained] Stop. Stop.
I can't get that song out of my head.
[both gasp]
So... if we are wantings them
to listens, then...
[squealing]
It's not about the presents
It's not about a tree
Sure, we love all these traditions.
But this season means more to me
Twinkling lights are all around us
Santa Claus is at the mall
But it's not about those things
No, things are not the point at all
Beautifully sung, my friend!
[Tip and Oh] Christmas is a feeling
For every kind of being
Come one, come all
And deck your halls
Yeah, Christmas is a feeling
So feel its call
It's not about those stockings stuffed
Not chestnuts warming on a fire
[Tip and Oh]
Sure, we enjoy all these treats
But that ain't the real desire
Hot cocoa can warm our toes
Warm gingerbread may fill our nose
Our ears can hear
Those sleigh bells ring
This season makes our senses sing
-A feeling?
-[Tip and Oh] Christmas is a feeling
A feeling!
[Tip and Oh] For every kind of being
Come one, come all
And deck your halls
Yeah, Christmas is a feeling
So feel its call
Christmas is a feeling
For every kind of being
We all have our ways to feel the fun
'Tis the season for everyone
Light your candles for eight nights
Or eat a long string of colored lights
There's no feast quite like a Karamu
These things make you feel
The way we do
[Ben]
Latkes frying, dreidels spinning
Goose on your head with a bow
Had us grinning
Passing and sipping your sweet tambiko
We all have our way to say ho-ho-ho
Ho-ho-ho
It doesn't matter what you believe
Because as we approach this magic eve
The world is filled with so much joy
For any girl or boy-boy-boy
Christmas is a feeling
[Kelly] For every kind of being
[Kelly, Tip, and Oh]
Sure, apart we celebrate
But when we share, it's cele-great
Christmas is a feeling
Including this number in our special
is guaranteed
to get us off the Naughty List.
Come one come all and deck your halls
A feeling?
Yeah, Christmas is a feeling
So feel its call
[Tip] Christmas is a feeling
[Kelly] Christmas is a feeling
[Tip] For every kind of being
[Kelly, Tip, and Oh] Come one, come all
And deck your halls
Yeah, Christmas is a feeling
So feel its call
Feel its call
Feel its call
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Tip] Christmas is a feeling.
[laughter]
Oh, it's finally your turn
to open a present from Mom.
I bet she saved the best for last!
Well, Oh, honey...
I have spent months trying to come up
with the perfect gift for you.
And after buying a ton of expensive
and thoughtful things,
your song made me realize
there is only one Christmas gift
that says how I truly feel
about having you as part of our family.
What is it?
Yeah, what is...
Mm.
[grunts] Mm.
[purring]
Thankings you, My-Mom.
The feelings I get
from beings a part of this family
are the best Christmas-ing gift
I could evers hope for.
[gagging]
[retches]
Merry Christmas-ings, everyones!
[all laughing]
Happy Holidays to all.
And to all a good eight nights!
[Kelly] Oh! There's my car!
[car beeps]
