It was a chilly December afternoon. It just happened to be three weeks before Christmas. People were getting ready, putting up decorations, finishing up their Christmas shopping, and what not. Speaking of Christmas shopping, the Loud family was at the mall doing just that.
"Okay, kids, here are the lists and we meet back at the food court." Lynn Sr. explained.
"Okay, dad." The kids replied.
"We'll see you later." Rita said as she and her husband walked off with Lily.
With their parents gone, the girls ran off in different directions, leaving Lincoln, who sighed and smiled as he turned to us.
"Christmas; possibly the busiest holiday there is and in my family's case, the most chaotic. But, hey you get used to it, and we get to spend time with each other." He said.
"Come on, bro! There's a Christmas edition of Ace Savvy!" Luna called.
"Oh, yeah!" He exclaimed as he ran off-screen.
Back at the Loud residence…
The family had just gotten home, having completed their shopping. The siblings decided to go about their business, except Lori, who just sighed as she plopped on the couch.
"Hey, Lori, why the long face?" Lincoln asked.
"You wouldn't understand, twerp." Lori said.
"Does it have something to do with Bobby moving away?" He asked.
"I don't think Christmas will be the same without him." She sighed.
"I know how you feel, Lori. In reality, Ronnie and I really like each other." Lincoln sighed.
"Hey, guys! You know that house next to ours?" Lynn asked.
"Yeah, what about it?" Luan asked.
"There's a moving van in front of it." She said.
The kids looked outside to see that Lynn was right. The parents went over to see what all the commotion was about.
"Hey, kids, what are you looking at?" Rita asked.
"It looks we're getting new neighbors." Lana said.
Just then, Lincoln and Lori saw some familiar people. Who were these people? You'll see in a few moments.
"Hey, isn't that…?" Before Lucy could finish, Lori and Lincoln threw their winter clothes on and ran outside.
Outside, the two ran towards the house.
"BOBBY!" Lori cried out happily.
"Ronnie Anne!" Lincoln exclaimed.
Said people turned around as their faces lit up. With that, the two couples hugged.
"What brings you here?" Lori asked.
"Those street cats were becoming a real problem, so we decided we've had enough and we moved here." Bobby explained
"And it's good to be back, Lame-O." Ronnie said as she lightly punched Lincoln's shoulder.
"Ronalda, can you give me a hand with these boxes?" Maria Santiago asked.
"Hey, Mrs. Santiago." Lincoln greeted.
"Oh, hi, you two." She replied.
Just then, Carlino showed up.
"I knew I heard a familiar voice somewhere. So, we meet again." He flirted with Lori.
"For the last time, I'm with Bobby." Lori groaned as the rest of the Casagrande family showed up.
"Lincoln!" CJ exclaimed.
"Hey, CJ. Long time, no see." Lincoln greeted back as they did a pattern of hi fives and handshakes.
"Hey, Lori, nice coat." Carlota complimented.
"Uh, thanks." Lori said.
"It's so good to see Ronalda with her boyfriend again." Frida commented.
"She's not my girlfr-"
"Actually, he is my boyfriend." Ronnie Anne cut him off as she grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"No use denying it, Lame-O." She told him.
The rest of her family awed at this as Frida took a picture.
"They grow up so fast!" She cried, bursting into tears.
"Come on, we'll introduce you to our family." Lori said.

After a bit of socializing, the two families quickly became great friends. Leni and Carlota were talking about fashion, CJ was playing pirates with Lana, Carlos and Lisa were talking, Hector, Rosa, Frida, Maria, Lynn Sr., and Rita were talking, Lily was hanging out with Carlitos, heck, Lalo and Sergio also became friends with Charles, Cliff, Walt, and Geo. As for Carlino and Lola…
"Has anyone else noticed the little dude in the red hoodie acting all weird?" Luna asked.
"Who, Carlino? Now that you mention it, he has been acting strange." Carlos said, not looking away from his book.
"Now that you mention it, Lola's been making goo-goo eyes at him." Lana added.
"I'll go ask him." Carlota said as she walked over to her brother. "Hey, what have you been looking at?"
"Who is that stunning beauty in pink?" He asked, referring to Lola.
"That's Lincoln's sister, Lola. But, from what Lincoln told me she's…"
Carlota was cut off when she saw Carlino was no longer next to her. Instead, he was flirting with Lola, who giggled and blushed as he kissed her hand. Everyone was perplexed while at the same time found it cute, as Lola was normally hard to impress.
"Huh, a female who's hard to impress was just wooed by a so-called ladies man. Perplexing." Lisa noted.
"Normally, we just find his attempts cute." Rosa said.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Lincoln answered it and it was none other than Clyde and Luna's girlfriend, Sam.
"Hey, Clyde. Glad you could make it." Lincoln said.
"Same here." Clyde replied.
"Hey, what's up, Luna?" Sam greeted as she and Luna hugged.
"Oh, by the way, Luna' bisexual and this is her girlfriend, Sam." Lincoln explained.
"I see." Hector commented.
"Well, whatever your sexuality, you are welcome." Rita said.
"Thanks." Sam said.
"Also, did you invite anyone else?" Carlos asked.
"Well, aside from Clyde, his parents, and Sam, we did invite a few friends." Lincoln said.
"And who are these friends?" Maria asked.
"You'll see, they'll be here any minute." Lynn said.

After about an hour of waiting, a bus pulled up in front of the house. Seeing this, the Loud kids, Ronnie, Bobby, and Clyde rushed outside. After a few seconds, their friends got off and they were none other than, Milo Murphy, Zack Underwood, Melissa Chase, Kick Buttowski, Gunther Magnuson, Kendall Perkins, and their families.
"Hey, guys! It's so good to see you again." Leni greeted.
"Man, we haven't seen you in forever." Milo replied as they all did things like, high fives, handshakes, and hugs.
Just then, the Casagrandes, and Loud parents came.
"Hi, Magnus. Hi, Helga. Hi, Harold. Hi, Honey. Hi, Bridgette. Hi, Martin. Hi, Eileen. Hi, Marcus. Hi, Jack." Lynn Sr. greeted. (that's what I imagine the name of Melissa's father)
"Lynn! It's been so long." Magnus said as he pat Lynn Sr. on the back.
"Hey, it's great having you here." Rita greeted.
"I'm glad we get to spend Christmas with you." Bridgette said.
"By the way, these are the Casagrandes." Lori introduced.
"What's up?" Kick said.
"Nice to meet you." Milo said.
After getting to know each other, Carlos noticed a huge dent in the bus's roof just as it was pulling away.
"Why does that bus have a big dent on it?" He asked.
"Milo has a bit of a reputation." Zack explained.
"It's because of Murphy's Law." Milo added.
"I mean the bus's engine exploded, and a tree fell on it on the way here." Kendall said.
"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" Carlota asked.
Lynn simply pointed at the bus. While it was driving away, a tree fell in front it. Panicking, the driver swerved, and ended up crashing into someone's house. Luckily, no one was hurt, but the Casagrandes were in shock, while the rest just had expressions ranging from "that had to suck" to "totally saw it coming."
"How long has this been happening?" Rosa asked, wearing a good luck charm.
"Ever since Edward Murphy, every male Murphy has had the curse." Sara explained.
"I've been there. Believe me." Jack said
"Well, come on, let's get inside." Honey said as they made their way into the house.
However, once they were inside, they smelled something.
"Hey, anyone else smell that?" Brianna asked.
As soon as she said that, the lights on the tree started to fizzle until the tree caught fire. Everyone was caught off guard as Milo pulled out a fire extinguisher from his backpack and put it out.
"Bummer, that was our only tree." Luna said.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I have a spare tree in my pack." Milo said.
"Milo, I know your bag has anything you could need, but there's no way you could-"
Before Zach could finish, the walking disaster pulled out a new tree, ornaments, tinsel, and lights, shocking everyone, except his family, and Melissa.
"That's Milo for you." Melissa said.
"Hey, can I get some help here?" He requested.
"We'll help." Kendall said as she, Kick, Lincoln, Ronnie, and Melissa went over to him.
You'd think it was gonna be easy as 1, 2, 3, but due to Murphy's Law, they ended up getting tangled as they were hanging upside down by their ankles from the lights.
"What the?" Lincoln said in a confused tone.
They tried again, but this resulted in Milo, Kick, and Lincoln getting tied to Melissa, Kendall, and Ronnie and they were facing each other. Their faces were so close, their noses were touching and their faces were bright red
"Uh…" They stammered awkwardly as Frida took a picture.
"So cute." She commented.
"Looks like you're a little tied up." Luan laughed.
They tried again, and this time they managed to get the tree up.
"There were go!" Milo said with a grin.
"Something tells me we're going to have a very interesting Christmas." Hector said.
"Agreed." CJ said.

While a lot of people were having fun with their loved ones, there were some weren't so jolly. A white limo pulled up in front of a house. The door opened and Amanda Killman stepped out with her father. They were here to spend Christmas with her aunt and her cousin, Chandler. (Yes, in this au, Amanda and Chandler are cousins).
"Dad, why do we have to spend Christmas with Chandler and Aunt Debbie?" Amanda asked.
"Because, it's time we spend a little time with them, and for to take a break from kicking an innocent beast out of town." Her father sighed.
Amanda merely rolled her eyes as they made their way to the door. Mr. Killman knocked on the door as it opened up to reveal his sister and her son.
"Hi, John. Hi, Amanda." Debbie greeted.
"Hey, Debbie." He replied as he hugged his sister.
"Hey, Amanda." Chandler said to his cousin.
"Yeah, whatever, Chandler." Amanda mumbled as they went inside. "Can't believe I won't be able to banish that beast for weeks!"
"And I can't believe that Loser Loud kid managed to outwit me." Chandler sighed.
Just then, they heard caroling. They peeked out of the window to see a group of carolers at the door. Amanda simply banged on the side of the window, causing snow to slide of the roof and bury the singers, shutting them up.
"I will end you!" Amanda hissed as the carolers dug themselves out and ran away screaming.
"Nice." Chandler commented as they fist-bumped.

Weeks had passed, meaning it was already Christmas Eve. Clyde's parents had come over for the party. Unfortunately, Sam and Kendall's parents would have come, but they were really busy. However, they were video chatting right now.
"Sorry we can't spend Christmas with you." Mr. Perkins said.
"That's okay. I have Kick and my friends to keep me company." Kendall replied as she shed a few tears and Kick put an arm around her.
"Have fun, Kendall. We love you." Mrs. Perkins said.
"Love you, too." She replied, ending the chat.
"Take good care of my daughter, Luna." Sam's mother told Luna.
"Don't worry, mom." Sam said as Luna kissed her cheek.
"You can count on me." Luna said as the chat ended.
"So far, this Christmas party has been going really good so far." Howard noted.
"Yeah, with Milo and Martin around." Harold M. added. (Keep in mind there are two Harolds here. So, I'm gonna be referring to them as Harold B. for Kick's dad, and Harold M. for one of Clyde's dads. Got it? Cool)
Suddenly, a passing snowplow threw snow everywhere. It was launched with such force, the snow actually broke the door down.
"You were saying?" Eileen asked.
With that, Lana proceeded to put the door back on the frame. Suddenly, everyone heard a crash sound outside.
"Woah, what was that?" Gunther asked.
"It sounded like it came from outside." Helga said.
"I'll go check." Magnus said as he went out into the cold, windy night.
"Wait! You're not wearing a coat." Hector told him.
"He's a Viking, he's used to this." Gunther assured.
With Magnus, he pulled out a flashlight to see who or what was out there.
"Hello! Anyone!" He yelled.
Just then, he saw something peculiar.
"You might want to take a look at this!" He called.
After a few minutes, everyone was out in their winter clothing.
"What is it?" Lori asked.
Magnus simply pointed the flashlight to what he saw. What they saw shocked them. There was a fat old man in a red coat white fringes and cuff, red pants, black boots, white gloves, and red hat with a white pompom. Next to him was an old woman who seemed to be tending to him and she was wearing a female version of his outfit. Finally, behind them was a sleigh connected to nine reindeer with a large sack in the back.
"Is that who we think we think it is?" Lola wondered.
"Could be." Lana said.
"This can't be possible." Lisa gasped, awestruck.
"Ho, ho! Of course, it's us. It's me, Santa Claus!" The old man chuckled.
"And I'm his wife, Mrs. Claus." The old woman added.
"Hey, don't forget us!" One of the reindeer exclaimed.
This action caught them off guard.
"Your reindeer can talk?" Jack asked.
"Uh, duh! We're magical. I'm Rudolph, and you can probably tell by the nose. And I'm guessing you know Dasher, Donner, Blitzen, Comet, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, and Cupid." Rudolph introduced.
"Hey!"
"What's up?"
"Hello!"
"How's it shakin'?"
"Nice to meet."
"Pleasure meeting you."
"How's it going?"
"S'up?"
"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be delivering presents?" Lynn asked.
"Well, this town is my last stop, but…" Santa told them before his hissed in agony. "My leg got broken in the crash.
"I got a really scratched up nose, so I can't guide us through the clouds until it's healed." Rudolph sighed.
"I sprained my front leg." Dasher strained.
"And I think my back legs are dislocated." Blitzen said.
"I can't feel my flank." Cupid finished.
"Oh, you poor things. Come on. Let's get you inside." Rosa said as they helped the injured Christmas icons inside.
Once they got them inside, they got them patched up.
"This can't be good." Santa lamented.
"Why's that?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Well, with me injured, we can't deliver presents to all of Royal Woods, which is our last stop." Santa explained.
"Wait, Mrs. Claus, why are you with Santa?" Carlino asked.
"Well, it's about time I spend some quality time with him." She said. "Also, my husband is the only one who can access the sack."
"And don't forget us." Dasher butted in.
"We need all of nine of us to pull Santa's sleigh." Donner added.
"And if we don't deliver all the presents by midnight, the magic will die out, ending Christmas forever." Vixen said as she stood next to Cupid.
"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" Sara inquired.
Suddenly the lights started to flicker. In addition, not only Royal Woods, but all over the world, Christmas lights were going dim.
"Oh no, it's already happening." Santa gasped.
"This can't be good." Lisa gulped.
"Talk about a dim situation." Luan joked as the others groaned.
Just then, Kick had an idea.
"Hey, why don't we deliver the presents for him?" He suggested.
"No, way dilweed. Its-" Brad tried to say.
"Actually, that's a really good idea." Santa cut him off.
"Are you really going with his plan?" Brad asked.
"Look, I'm getting tired of your sass, so unless you want coal in your present, we're going with his idea." Santa threatened sternly.
"Then, it's settled, we go with Kick's idea." Lori confirmed.
A few minutes later…
Once they were prepared, Santa had unloaded all the present out of the sack and into wagons attached to the cars. They were in the living room discussing their plan as they looked at a map.
"Okay, so we split up into two groups. One group will consist of me, my sisters, Ronnie Anne, Sam and Clyde. The other group will be Milo, Zack, Melissa, Sara, Kick, Brad, Gunther, Kendall, Bobby, and the Casagrande siblings." Lincoln explained.
"Group 1, you head east, while us, Group 2 will head west. We'll meet up at this house, which will be our last stop." Kick added.
"While we do that, our parents will look after the Clauses and the reindeer." Milo finished.
"Are you sure this will work?" Sam asked.
"With all of us, we'll be able to cover more ground. Now let's do this." Kick said as the kids rushed outside.
"Good luck, kids." Carlos said as the approached their vehicles,
Suddenly, one of the boxes started shaking and barking was coming from it.
"What the heck?" Bobby wondered.
CJ grabbed the box and a familiar dog popped out.
"Hey, a dog!" He exclaimed as the pooch licked his face.
"Doggie!" Lily squealed as she and Carlitos giggled
"Diogee! Silly dog, what are you doing here?" Milo asked as he picked the dog up.
"How was he able to follow you?" Luna asked.
"I don't know, but I'm sure his journey here was 'rough'! No bones about it!" Luan laughed until the others sneered at here. "I'll shut up now."
"I don't know how. The inner machinations of Diogee's mind are an enigma." Milo said dramatically as the camera zoomed in on him.
After a short pause.
Come on! We're burning time." Lola snapped as she tapped on her watch, which showed it was eight o' clock.
"Oh, right." Milo said as he gave Diogee a treat. "Now, Diogee, go home."
The dog barked twice before running off.
"Is it really a good idea to just let him go like that?" Carlino asked.
"He knows how to get back home every time." Milo assured as they boarded the vehicles.
Bobby and Lori started their vans and drove off. Unfortunately, Group 2's cart came loose.
"Aw, crud!" Bobby cursed as they backed up, reattached it then drove off.
"I really hope they can do it." Lynn Sr. said.
"I'm sure they can." Rita assured.
"So, about those tamales we've heard about." Santa requested.
"Coming right up!" Rosa said as they went back inside.
()()()
"Okay, let's split up." Lori said.
The others nodded as they made their way to different house. With Lori and Lincoln, they snuck through a window and tiptoed to the tree, where they put the presents.
"This is literally easy." Lori said as she accidentally stepped on a doll, causing it to squeak.
They tensed up a bit, until they learned no one woke up.
"That was close." Lincoln sighed as they snuck out.
It then cut to Luna, Sam, and Luan. They made their way to the tree, and just when they were about to put the presents under it, they heard a voice behind them. They saw a man, presumably the father, who had come from the kitchen for a snack. Panicking, Luan took out a rubber chicken and whacked him over the head, knocking him out.
"Dude, did you have to do that?" Luna asked sharply.
"I panicked, okay?! Plus it was a hit." Luan chuckled as Luna groaned.
"Why are we with you?" Sam lamented.
Lucy snuck down the chimney. Fortunately, the fire was out. Thanks to her years of sneaking up on others, she made it to the tree without making one sound.
"I was never here." Lucy said as she scampered back up the chimney.
"There is no way I'm getting my outfit covered in soot." Leni protested as they stood by a house's chimney.
"Come one, Leni! If we don't do this, Christmas is done fore." Lisa pointed out.
"I didn't want to have to do this, but…" Lynn said as she picked up Leni and threw her down.
"Ow!" She cried.
"Was that necessary?" Lisa asked.
"Have any better ideas?" Lynn shot back as Lisa didn't say anything. "That's what I thought."
We now join, Ronnie, Clyde, Lana, Lola, and Lily. The front door creaked open as they poked their heads inside. They looked around to make sure the coast was clear.
"All clear." Clyde said as they tiptoed their way in.
"There's the tree, I'm gonna put my present under it." Lana said until Lola stopped her.
"Oh no, you don't! I'm putting mine first!" Lola protested.
"No, I am!"
"No, I am!"
"Girls stop arguing. You're gonna wake up the whole house." Clyde whispered. "Why don't you put those present at the same time?"
"Okay." They said as they did so.
"That was close." Ronnie sighed as the snuck out and Lily sneezed.
"Bless you." Ronnie said.
Soon, they met back up at their van.
"We're making great time." Lynn commented.
"I know, right? On to the next block!" Leni declared as they drove off.
"I wonder how the others are doing." Ronnie wondered.

The other group had been getting mostly narrow escapes and mess-ups all night, slightly because of Murphy's Law. How narrow? Well, just take a look at this.
Mess-up #1:
Milo, Melissa, and Zack were sneaking with gifts in hand, just as they approached the tree, the chandelier fell.
"Oh, crud!" Zack quietly squeaked.
Fortunately, Milo saved it by pushing the couch underneath it, cushioning the fall.
"That was a close one." Melissa said.
"I'll say." Milo agreed.
"Hey, what's that noise?" A voice asked upstairs.
They quickly left the presents and scurried out the window.
Mess-up #2:
"All we have to do is slide down that chimney." Kick said as he jumped down.
"Bombs away!" Kendall said as she followed.
"Wait for me!" Gunther called.
He tried to go down it, nut ended up getting stuck.
"Oh no. I shouldn't have eaten all those cookies earlier." He said.
"Seriously?" Brianna groaned.
"Nice going, dilweed's friend." Brad said.
"Anyone got any butter?" Gunther asked.
By now, you can probably get the picture. Right now in their van, they were feeling slightly frustrated, except Milo, CJ, and Carlitos.
"I can't believe Roberto nearly got us caught." Carlota grumbled.
"There was a banana peel there, okay?" Bobby shot back.
"I don't know, I mean Carlitos and CJ was actually able to deliver five presents each." Milo pointed out.
"I still can't believe a two-year-old was able to do that." Gunther said.
"Well, at least things can't get any worse and we still got plenty of time." Kendall said.
"Bobby, look out!" CJ cried.
Bobby took a closer look and saw they were about to hit an old man who was crossing the street. They screamed as Bobby swerved off the road and ran into a snow bank. No one was hurt but they were stuck.
"Everyone okay?" Bobby asked.
"Yeah, but we're stuck." Zack said.
"Don't worry, I got this." Milo said as he pulled out some snow shovel from his bag.
With those in hand, he, Kick, and Bobby proceeded to clear the snow. Once that was done, they drove off.
"It's amazing you have everything you could possibly need in there." Bobby commented.
"Yeah, but we burned a lot of time. We better hurry." Carlino said.
Unbeknownst to them, a tree branch had fallen off a tree due to all the snow on it. This in turn, knocked into a pebble, which bumped into a larger rock, which rolled down the hill. It rolled down, gathering more and more snow until it became a giant snowball and started chasing the van.
"Guys, you might wanna look behind us." Brianna said as the snowball chasing them terrified them.
"Oh give us a break!" Bobby groaned as he floored it to get away from it.
"It's gaining on us." Melissa warned.
Just then, Kick had an idea. He reached into Milo's bag and rummaged around in there.
"What are you looking for?" Milo asked until Kick got out what he needed: A water gun and a bottle of antifreeze.
"What are you doing with that?" Brad asked.
"You'll see." Kick replied as he looked out the window and filled the water gun with the antifreeze.
He took aim and sprayed antifreeze at it, causing it to melt until it was nothing but the rock.
"Nice one." Kendall commented.
"Thanks." He said. "Now, on to the next house."

After delivering the last of their presents, they met up at the last house.
"Okay, last house. Who's going in?" Lori asked.
Lincoln looked at the house and realized something.
"Wait a minute, this is Chandler's house." Lincoln pointed out.
"Well, at least you'll have your revenge, because it says here Chandler and his cousin have been really naughty this year and they get coal and… owl poop?" Luna said confused as she held a clipboard.
"Well, come on, let's go." Kick said as he, Milo, Lincoln, Gunther, Zack, and Clyde made their way towards the house.
"And hurry up; we've only got only got five more minutes until midnight." Lisa said.
They snuck through the window. They looked around and no one was with them.
"Okay, there's the tree, this will…"
Before Lincoln could finish, the rug underneath suddenly sprung up, revealing it was a net under a rug.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't, Larry, the Wannabe Daredevil, the Jinx and their friends." Chandler said as he and Amanda went up to them.
"I find that kind of offensive." Milo told them.
"And how do you know who we are?" Kick questioned.
"Thank social media." Amanda said.
"Also, what are you doing here?" Chandler added.
"You're not going to believe this, but Santa crash-landed in front of my house, yadda-yadda-yadda, he broke his arm, blah, blah, blah, and now we're delivering presents for him and if we don't Christmas is doomed." Gunther quickly explained.
"Well, Santa or no Santa, these boxes had better have what we want." Amanda spat… literally.
They snatched the boxes and opened them up, their expressions turning from excitement to a mixture of disappointment and hatred and they dropped the boxes.
"Owl poop and coal. Just like last year." They sighed before turning to the trapped boys.
"Looks like you're gonna be sorry." Amanda sneered.
"Chandler! Amanda! Could you help us here?" John and Debbie called as the two grumbled.
"We'll be right back to pummel you." Chandler said as they left.
"What are we gonna do?! We've only got two minutes left until midnight." Kick cried out.
"Wait I have an idea." Lincoln realized.
"Lay it on us." Milo said.
Lincoln dug around his pocket. After rummaging around, he pulled out a candy cane and started quickly sucking and licking it.
"This is no time for candy!" Milo barked.
"Woah, Milo, you're getting a bit out of character." Zack said.
"Sorry, it's just been really stressful."
"What are you doing anyway?" Clyde asked.
"This!" Lincoln exclaimed as he retracted the now-pointed sweet from his mouth.
He stabbed the ropes, severing them as they fell to the floor.
"Great idea." Kick commented as Lynn kicked the door open and the others walked in.
"What was taking you?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"We got snared." Lincoln answered.
"Quick, we got forty-five more seconds." Carlino said.
"Okay, we're back." Amanda said as she and her cousin walked in with bats.
"Guys, distract them while we get the presents under the tree." Lincoln instructed.
They nodded as Lincoln, Milo, and Kick sprinted towards it. Amanda tried to tackle them, when Lucy appeared behind her, spooking her. Amanda responded by throwing her into a wall. Chandler pinned Lincoln to the floor.
"Give it up, Larry, if we can't a have a Merry Christmas, no one can!" He sneered.
"Get off!" Lincoln said as he kicked him off.
Chandler kicked Lincoln in the stomach and grabbed Milo.
"Hey, get away from him!" Sara demanded as she punched across the face.
Kick was using parkour to maneuver around them and make to the tree, only to be met with Amanda's foot to his face.
"Biscuits." Kick groaned as he held his face.
"Guys, only twenty seconds left!" Sam exclaimed.
Milo attempted to get one of the boxes to the tree, until Chandler swung swing bat at Milo's legs, knocking to the floor. He tried to finish him off, when Melissa and Zack held him down. Amanda tried to hit Lincoln when the Loud sisters piled on top of her.
"Fifteen seconds!" Lisa called.
Lincoln and Milo grabbed the boxes, when Chandler threw the two people off him and blocked the way.
"Oh no, you don't!" He hissed.
Just then, the Casagrande siblings, Buttowski siblings, Santiago siblings, Gunther, and Clyde held him down.
"Milo! Lincoln! Ten seconds!" Bobby yelled.
The two sprinted for the tree, when they tripped on the carpet, sending them flying. Time seemed to go in slow motion. Five, four, three, two, one! The second the clock struck midnight, they made it under the tree. This restored the magic as all the Christmas lights of the world shone bright.
"WE DID IT!" Lincoln cheered.
"We saved Christmas." Milo said as their girlfriends ran up to them and hugged them.
"I can't believe we did it!" Leni squealed as they got off the naughty kids.
"You are so dead." Amanda and Chandler said.
"I think we had enough of you." Lynn said as she and Luan knocked them out by hitting them over the head with their fist and rubber chicken respectively.

The kids made it back to the Loud house.
"This night has been crazy." Lori said.
"Yeah, but worth it." Bobby said.
They walked inside to see the adults laughing with the Clauses and reindeer.
"And then I said, "How was I supposed to know that?"." Santa concluded his story in which the other adults erupted with laughter.
"Who knew you were such a hoot." Hector panted.
"What next, you know the Easter Bunny?" Martin joked.
"Know him? That egg dropper still owes Dancer twenty bucks!" Mrs. Claus said.
"It's true." Dancer confirmed as they laughed.
"Oh, kids! You're back!" Harold B. said.
"Santa is a riot." Honey added.
"So, how was the present delivery?" Mrs. Claus asked.
"We managed to deliver all the presents just in time." Lincoln said.
"Well, god job, all of you. By the way, you're parents are the bomb." Santa said as he walked up to them.
"Wait, they're a bomb?!" Leni shrieked.
"No, Leni, it means they're fun people." Lori pointed out.
"Wait, I thought you were injured." Lisa said.
"Me and my reindeer have accelerated healing." Santa explained, "Well, it's time for me us to go."
"Aw, do you have to go?" Lola and Lana asked.
"Yes, gotta prepare for next Christmas." Mrs. Claus said.
"Here, I've got something for you." Santa said as he pulled out three snow globes and gave them to Lincoln, Milo, ad Kick.
"Snow globes?" Kick said, confused.
"These aren't just any snow globes. These magic snow globes are not only a way to remember me by, but also we can keep in touch." Santa explained.
"Oh, cool." Lincoln commented.
"I guess this is goodbye." Lucy said.
Lily and Carlitos walked over to him and hugged his legs.
"Aw, I'll miss you too." He cooed the two babies.
"Santa!" Carlitos babbled.
"Aw, Carlitos said your name." Carlota gushed as Frida took a picture.
"My little mijo's first word!" She cried.
Santa smiled as he pat both of them on the head. With that, he, his wife, and reindeer made their way outside. After reattaching the sleigh, they prepared to take off as the families waved goodbye.
"Bye, Santa! Bye, Mrs. Claus!" CJ called.
With that, the reindeer pulled the sleigh down the street. After gaining enough speed, they took off into the night sky.
"HO, HO, HO! Merry Christmas!" They Clauses hollered joyfully.
"Wow, this night's been crazy." Sam commented.
"You said it, babe." Luna agreed.
"Well, come on. Let's head back home." Maria said.
"Yeah, and let's head back to the hotel." Honey said.
"Actually, is it okay if me, Bobby, Kick, Kendall, Gunther, Clyde, Milo, Melissa, and Zack sleep over?" Ronnie Anne said.
"Are you sure?" Maria asked.
They all nodded.
"Good thing I got extra sleeping bags." Milo said.
"Very well. Have fun." Howard said as they left.
"See you in the morning!" Carlos said.
"I think it's time we get some shut-eye." Lincoln yawned.
With that, the kids set down their sleeping bags on the living room floor, while Lincoln's sister went to their rooms before lying down and falling asleep.
Next morning…
Clyde was the first to open his eyes to see the bottom of the tree filled with presents. He jolted up at the excitedly.
"Guys! Look under the tree!" He called.
"Clyde, what is it?" Lincoln asked groggily before seeing the presents.
Just as the kids went to the tree, Brad, Brianna, Sara, and the Casagrande siblings came in through the door with their still wrapped gifts. Their parents followed close behind.
"Looks like you got your presents too." Lori said.
"You bet!" Carlino said.
Just then, she found a note.
"Hey, what's this?" She wondered as the others gathered around her.
Here's what the note read:
Dear Kids,
Thanks for all your help. If it weren't for you, Christmas would've been domed. Also, Ronnie Anne, your grandmother's food if delish! Anyway, I give you these gifts as a token of my gratitude. By the way, Luan you should really work on your jokes; they don't really 'sleigh'! That was for you.
Sincerely, Santa and Mrs. Claus.
PS: HO, HO, HO!
Everyone smiled.
"Well, let's see what we got." Kendall said.
The tore open their gifts and were delighted at what they got. Lori got the latest smartphone model, Leni got a Christmas-themed dress, Luna and Sam got new guitars, Luan received a signed Benny Hill poster, Lynn got a baseball signed by Ty Cob, Lincoln got the new Ace Savvy videogame and for some reason, a ventriloquist puppet, Lucy, original copies of Edgar Allan Poe's poems, Lana got a new squirt gun, Lola, Christmas-theme tiara, Lisa, an autographed book by Stephen Hawking, Lily and Carlitos got teddy bears, and Clyde got an Ace Savvy action figure.
"Alright! I got that new game I wanted." Lincoln cheered.
"I love that dress, Leni. It goes so well with your eyes." Carlota complimented.
"Like, thanks!" Leni thanked
"Hey, what did you guys get?" Lincoln asked.
"Let's see." Kick said as the others opened their boxes.
Kick got a new motorized scooter, Gunther got an authentic Viking axe, Brad got a Christmas edition of his favorite magazine, Brianna received a "Miss Santa's Little Helper" sash, Milo, a new accordion, Zack, a new bass guitar, Melissa, a Christmas-themed jacket, Sara got every one of the Doctor Zone Files episodes on DVD, Kendall got a new book, Carlota received some new limited-edition mascara, CJ got his very own custom-made superhero costume, Carlino got some limited edition hair gel, Ronnie Anne got a skate board with detachable wheels so it could double as a snow board, and finally Bobby got a Spanish guitar.
"Oh boy! A needed a new accordion." Milo said.
"I didn't know you played guitar." Lori said.
"I've actually been taking lessons for years." Bobby explained.
"Yes, Roberto is such great musician." Rosa said as she pinched his cheek.
"Oh man, I have got to try this out!" Kick said as he ran outside with his new scooter.
"Sweet! A new axe for my collection." Gunther said as he followed. "Hey, wait up!"
Carlino was putting on some of his new hair gel, which made his hair shinier. This attracted Lola as she swooned.
"So, mi princesa, what do you think?" He asked.
"This." Lola said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Frida saw this and snapped a photo.
"Hey, bro, since when were you into ventriloquism?" Luna asked.
"Well, Luan kinda got me into it, and she's been giving me lessons." Lincoln said
"And he's pretty good." Luan said.
"Now I just need to think of a name for it." Lincoln said as he thought for a bit. "I now, I'll call you Joe."
The puppet turned to Lincoln.
"Seriously? Joe? That's what you're going with?" The puppet 'asked'.
"Oh yeah, you got any better ideas?" Lincoln asked his dummy, which said nothing. "That's what I thought."
Just then, Lily and Carlitos walked up to the dummy. They looked at Joe for a bit until cooed as the hugged the puppet.
"Aw, Joe they like you." Lincoln commented.
"Yeah, this is cute an all, now put me back in the box." Joe said.
"Oh no, you're staying out here." Lincoln replied.
"No, I'm not,"
"Yes, you are."
"Hey, don't forget Mr. Coconuts." Luan as she pulled out her own dummy.
The on and two year olds looked at Coconuts before blowing a raspberry at it.
"Aw, come on." Coconuts 'said'.
"Looks like you lose Coconuts." Joe teased.
"Whatever." Coconuts retorted.
"Hey, Lincoln, wanna play that new Ace Savvy game?" Clyde asked as he held his action figure.
"Would I?" Lincoln replied.
Suddenly, Kick, Gunther, and Ronnie came in through the door with their gifts and covered in snow.
"That was awesome!" Kick howled.
"Agreed." Ronnie said.
"Looks you had fun." Lynn commented.
"You bet." Kick panted.
"I'm Super CJ!" CJ said, trying to sound heroic as he ran around in his new costume.
"Okay, Junior, why don't you join the rest over there?" Carlos said to his son as he joined the rest of the kids.
"Hey, guys, how about that thing we secretly planned for a few days?" Lincoln suggested as the others nodded in agreement.
"What were you planning?" Rita asked.
"Well, Christmas is all about giving, right? Well, all of us decided to pitch in to give you presents." Sara explained.
With that, they proceeded to give presents to their parents.
"You shouldn't have." Lynn Sr. said.
"Come on we insist." Luan pressed.
The adults grabbed the boxes and opened them up. Lynn Sr. got a new tie, Rita got a new pair of shoes, Harold M. got a new bowtie, Howard received a book about cats, Maria got a card with a really touching message, Carlos and Frida got a scrapbook, Rosa received an apron with "Best Abuela Ever" embroidered onto it, Hector, a tie with "Best Abuelo Ever" on it, Harold B. got a new shirt, Honey, a new bracelet, Magnus received a helmet with antlers instead of horns (It's Christmas-themed, hello!), Helga got a Viking spear, Brigette got a necklace, Martin, a hard hat that said "Best Dad" on it, Eileen, a pair of Christmas earrings, Marcus got a new fishing pole, and finally, Jack a home-made picture frame.
"Hey, I needed a new pole after that last incident." Marcus noted.
"Aw, kids, you didn't have to go through all that trouble." Eileen said.
"Well, now I have a new spear for my collection." Helga said.
"It's the least we could do." Lynn said.
"Oh, come here!" They said as the kids ran up to them and hugged them.
"I wish my parents were here." Kendall sighed.
"Mine too." Sam agreed.
Just then, there was knocking at the door. Lynn Sr. opened it up to reveal none other than Sam and Kendall's parents. The two girls saw their parents and beamed with joy.
"Mom! Dad!" Kendall cried out as she hugged them with teary eyes.
"Ma, Pa, I thought you were busy." Sam said to her parents.
"We were, but we were able to get the week off." Sam's dad explained.
Once they were with their parents, they made some introductions, you know what I mean. By the way, I imagine Sam's dad's name is Sheldon, her mom's name is Nicole, Kendall's dad is Ted, and her mom's Kim. Yes, my mind works like that
"Okay, this is officially the best Christmas EVER!" The twins cheered.
"Agreed." Carlino said.
"Hey, guys, you might wanna look above you." Luan giggled mischievously.
Lincoln, Milo, Kick, Luna, Bobby and Carlino looked up and saw mistletoes hinging above them and their girls. They looked and realized they were attached to string on poles on their backs.
"Real mature." Luna groaned.
"Well, we're under mistletoe so…" Kendall said awkwardly as her face turned bright red.
"Kiss, you cowards!" Sergio squawked.
"Quiet, smart-beak!" Ronnie and Lincoln scolded.
"What the heck?" Melissa said as she pulled Milo in and pressed her lips to his.
Ronnie, Kendall, Lori, Lola, and Luna did the same as the rest awed at the sight and Frida snapped yet another photo. After several seconds of kissing, they pulled away.
"Wow." Was all they could say.
"Well, what a way to celebrate to celebrate the holidays." Lucy said.
"Why don't we wrap this up? Luna, Sam, Milo, Zack, care to play us off?" Lisa asked.
"Gladly." They said as they readied their instruments and Zack pushed in Luna's drum set.
Zack counted them off as they started playing.
"Okay, everyone, get ready to sing!" Lincoln said.
Luna: Deck the halls with boughs of holly.
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Sam: 'Tis the season to be jolly.
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Milo: Don we now our gay apparel!
Everyone: Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Sam, Luna, and Milo: Troll in ancient yuletide carol!
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
They did a brief instrumental as everyone danced to it.
"These people know how to party." Sheldon commented.
"Yeah, I know." Nicole replied.
Milo: See the blazing Yule before us.
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Zack: Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Luna: Follow me in merry measure!
Everyone: Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la!
Zack, Milo, and Luna: While I tell of Christmas treasure!
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Sam: Fast away the old year passes.
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Zack: Hail the new, ye lads and lasses.
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Luna: Sing we joyous all together!
Everyone: Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
Sam, Luna, and Zack: Heedless of the wind and weather!
Everyone: Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la!
At the end of the song, the rocker couple played sick guitar riffs.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!" They all hollered.
Suddenly, a piano fell right through the ceiling, just barely squashing someone and shocking them all.
"Woah! That piano came out of nowhere!" Carlos panted.
"Actually, it came from that cargo plane up there." Milo said as he pointed at the flying cargo plane.
Meanwhile at Chandler's house…
If you believe in karma, then read this. As if getting coal and poop for Christmas wasn't bad enough, a tree branch fell down, knocking out the power, and they were snowed in.
"Unbelievable, first we get horrible gifts, and now this!" Amanda grumbled.
"Well, at least the coal was useful for something." Chandler pointed out as they sat next to the fireplace.
"This possibly can't get any worse." Amanda lamented.
As soon as she said that, some snow fell through the chimney and out the fire.
"I hate my life." They said as the iris closed in on them.
