That Snow Globe was the last of my inventions
that Santa ever used.
He's stuck in his old ways.
So now you want to ruin Christmas?
No, I'm just borrowing Christmas.
I'm gonna give it back next year
after Santa sees how much easier it can all be.
Yeah. I'm doing it for him.
But Christmas is wonderful just the way it is.
Oh, for now.
But the world's population keeps growing.
What if the elves couldn't make enough toys?
What if Santa gets too fat
and he couldn't fit down every chimney?
What if the Snow Globe runs out of space for wishes?
I just couldn't take that chance.
Doing all this behind Santa's back
doesn't sound like you're helping.
The H.O.H.O. retires after his 500th Christmas.
This one is my last.
So it's my last chance to prove to Santa
that there is a better way.
Come on. You're an inventor, Blizz.
You get it. There's always a better way.
But you should have run it by Santa first.
You need to trust him.
There's still time to make it right.
Please, don't do this.
♪
Santa will thank us.
-Right? -Eh.
Forget all that time Santa waste climbing down chimneys.
Now your present cannon
will blast toys down them instead.
[elf laughs]
Blizz, what's our plan?
My plan?
I'm out of plans. I'm just sorry for getting you into this.
I used to think I could do something special,
make a difference.
But the truth is, Smiley's right.
I'm no better than him.
I'm a reindeer who can't fly straight.
I-I have terrible ideas,
and I just helped ruin Christmas.
CANDY: Blizz, please.
We could still fix this.
No, we can't.
I'm a failure.
Always have been, always will be.
SMILEY: [clears throat] Orna-bots.
[beeping]
Free the prisoners immediately.
-Huh. -Now, go make me a fruitcake.

Oh, my. [clears throat]
[normal voice]: You had at least one good idea.
Telling me not to hide my talents.
Didn't know you had it in you, new kid.

I was going to say awesome.
Besides, what's wrong with weird?

Different is good, right?
-Yes! -Yay!
I always knew that antler would come in handy one day.

You two need to shut down the cloaking device's
force field before we can fly out.
Theo and I will hold these things off.

Why are you three plunging toilets?
Uh, because you told us to.
Ho-ho-holy plum pudding.
Hey, how did you two get free?

That must control the force field.

Fruitcake.

Smiley, please. These toys are a disaster.
You'll never be able to fix them in time.
Do you really want children waking up
to see all their Christmas dreams ruined?
[children making wishes]
Listen to the voices.
You have a good heart.
I know you want to make Christmas better,
but this isn't the way to do it.
This can't be the Christmas you imagined.
[children making wishes]
I just wanted to help.
To leave Christmas in good hands.
Oh, I'm a fool.
Santa will never forgive me.
Yes, he will. He's Santa.

-Thank you, Smiley. -Yay!

Even I can't override them.

-THEO: Oh, my gosh. -Whoa.
I really hope Isla and Candy got the force field open.

Good luck, you, too!

I think these bots operate on a metaheuristic intelligence,
just like the Formosan termite!
Isla, I know I'm a talking snowgirl,
but I have no idea what that means.
ISLA: Big beeping one sends commands.
Knock it out and they all go down.
Got it.
It's Frozen Justice time!

Ah!

And not a creature was stirring.

It's never too late for a Christmas miracle.
ISLA: Oh, boy.
It's now or never, Isla.
Bugs. They're nature's marvels.
BLIZZ: Whoo-hoo!
Yay. We did it.
Now, I wish we knew how to get this thing
back to the North Pole in time.
Theo, oh, it looks like your wish is about to come true.

He'll come back for me. Yeah.
Right?
SANTA: Tomorrow is Christmas,
and it pains me to say it, but without the Snow Globe,
we just don't know all of the children's wishes.
I'm sorry.

Still trying to stick the landing.

I've always known it.
But what I don't know is why you took the Snow Globe.
PINKY: He didn't do it.
Smiley had us tied up.
Smiley is the one that took the Globe.
Smiley?
-But th-that can't be true. -[others exclaiming]
THEO: It is.
Uh, but he only took it
to make Christmas easier for you.
But he realized what he was doing was wrong,
so he gave it to us, and we brought it back.
I always knew you were innocent.
Ho, ho, thank you, Blizzard and Theodore.
I hope we're not too late.
It-It's still Christmas Eve, and every child's wish
is almost ready to be delivered.
Well, not every child's wish.
Theo didn't finish making his yet.
That's okay, Blizz.
I already got my wish.
-I made a new friend. -[others exclaiming]
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Looks like Christmas is back on, everyone.

Okay, Theodore, time to head home.
Wait. Blizz, you're coming with me, right?
I... I can't.
My place is here.
But this can't be goodbye.
Oh.
It'll be okay.
Just keep being you, and I'll be here,
rooting for you every step of the way.
SANTA: Interesting.
Looks like there's room for one more up here.
[laughing]
You think I'd separate two best friends
on a night like tonight?
Besides, we have your future to discuss, Blizzard.
-[Blizzard gasps] -Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho...
BLIZZARD: So that's the story
of how I almost ruined Christmas.
And ended up with a new friend instead.
Santa knew that Smiley and his crew were sorry,
and discovered that his new inventions
were actually pretty helpful.
-He even gave Smiley a new job, -[whistles]
where he could finally put his amazing inventions to work.
SANTA: Ho, ho, yeah.
Candylicious!
BLIZZ: Turns out I did have a great idea,
one that changed Christmas forever.
So there's a reindeer in here and a reindeer in here.
After the Snow Globe was stolen and nearly lost,
I realized Santa needed a better,
more personal way to learn each child's Christmas wish.
Each child is unique, just like every one of us.
The thing that makes each of us different
is also the thing that makes us amazing.
A boy named Theo reminded me of that.
So then I say to them, "Go bake me a fruitcake."
-[laughter] -You believe it?
-Hey-yo! These are the jokes, folks. -[laughter]
[Blizz yelling]
[gasps]
Whoa! Whoa!
-Whoa! -Whoa!
Oh! I stuck the landing.
Blizz, what are you doing here?
We're all here.
Each reindeer has been sent out
to be a new Christmas friend to each child.
We'll spend time with them, find out what makes them unique,
and learn what their true holiday wishes are,
so that when Santa finally arrives,
he can give each of them the best Christmas ever.
You mean I get to spend every December with you?
Awesome! We got so much to catch up on.
I have a ton of new friends.
Isla and I are kind of a thing.
And, hey, my parents said
we're going to stay here for a long time.
That's great news.
Oh, best friends together again.
[laughing]
-[whooping] -All right!
[whooping]
[gasps] Blizz, look out!
Okay. Yep.
Still not great at flying, but working on it.
