It was Christmas Eve in Mr. Litwak's arcade. Normally, on Christmas, Litwak would hang some Christmas ornaments around the arcade as a celebration. But it was late 2013, and he wanted something special for the gamers that would regularly flock towards the arcade booth.
From inside Game Central Station, a high-pitched voice among all the chatting and conversations.
"Hey, look everybody! A new game is being installed!"
The voice belonged to none other than Licorice Liqued, a scrapped racer from the candy-coated racing game known as Sugar Rush. Licorice had been scrapped, along with many other racers from the game, but a treacherous racer named Creamy Buttercap had unlocked her and all the other scrapped racers as part of a plot to overthrow Vanellope and the other Sugar Rush racers. However, it had been a stroke of luck that the scrapped racers had a change of heart, and they had become welcomed and official racers of Sugar Rush.
Every character in the arcade turned around to look at where the young girl was pointing. Indeed, A new game was getting plugged into the arcade.
Everybody crowded around the new game, when Licorice shouted, "Hold on a second, I'm going to read the title of the game!"
Looking closely and analyzing the title board at the top of the entrance to the new game, she read the title out loud.
"SANTA'S SLED!"
Witchy, who happened to be flying around on her homemade broomstick, hovered near Licorice and simply said, "Sounds boring, let's go."
"Oh come on, Witchy, can't I just take a look?" Licorice pleaded. "I'm a Halloween person, not a Christmas person," Witchy exclaimed. "Get somebody else to do it, but I'm not interested in it, and neither should you."
With that, she forcefully pulled Licorice onto the broomstick and the two flew back into Sugar Rush.
However, Licorice, being the excitable loud-mouthed little girl that she was, hopped off the broomstick, took a megaphone out of nowhere, and shouted out, "EVERYBODY! A NEW GAME WAS INSTALLED!"
"Licorice!" Witchy groaned. But it was too late. Candlehead drove up to the two former scrapped racers.
"A new game was plugged in?" She asked in an overly cheerful tone. "It was, and it's a Christmas game," Licorice explained. Candlehead giggled and hopped around, barely containing her joy. "I can't wait to meet them!" Candlehead said.
"In that case, why don't you go meet them?" Witchy sarcastically replied. Candlehead paused and stared at the two. "Ooh, good idea," She said. "I'll do just that." Both Licorice and Witchy froze. "Wait, don't do that!" Witchy pleaded, but it was too late. Candlehead hopped back inside her kart and drove off towards the exit of Sugar Rush.
The moment she was gone, Licorice whacked Witchy in the side of the head. "Nice going you Halloween-themed witch!" Licorice berated. However, she wasn't very good at insults.
By then, the other racers, save for Vanellope, arrived. "Hey, where's Candlehead?" Rancis asked. Witchy twiddled her fingers, but Licorice spoke up. "A new, Christmas-themed game was plugged in, and Witchy told Cake-head to go and meet everyone in the game, and she did."
The other racers stared at the two in shock. "Oh come on, what's so wrong about making some new friends?" Witchy asked nervously.
"Every good game has a villain in it," Sorbet answered. "Why would a game about giving presents to children and shouting 'Merry Christmas' all the time need a villain!?" Witchy shouted, flailing her arms around.
(Scene Transition)
"Okay, is the villain ready?" A Christmas elf asked the other one from inside Santa's Sled. "Oh, sure," The other one replied. "He's hiding in that giant ice fortress on the mountain top."
A third elf came by. "Just make sure those two kids are ready for when the arcade opens. Where are they anyways?"
"Why, hello, little men," A rather high-pitched voice said. The trio of elves jumped in shock and turned around to see Candlehead skipping towards them. "Willow, why did you put on a new dress?" The first elf asked in disbelief. "And why do you have a candle on your head?"
Candlehead stared down at the elves. They all barely made it to her knee, which was surprising for her considering her height. Nevertheless, she patted them on the head, much to their annoyance. "My name is not Willow, my name is Candlehead," She corrected. "Who are you, anyways?"
"The real question is, who are you?" The third elf asked in a gruff sounding voice. He was stouter than the others and had a magnificent beard on his face. "I just told you," Candlehead said. "Wait a minute, where's all the fire, and who's Willow?"
"That's none of your business," The second elf said. "Now please get out of our…"
Suddenly, a gush of wind blew towards the three elves and Candlehead. "Oh Christmas stockings, you have to get out of here!" The first elf shouted, terrified. "Why?" Candlehead asked, not seeming to notice the growing wind flying through the forest.
"It's the villain!" The second elf shouted. "He's been sending hurricanes around since the game was plugged in. But this was is bigger than the others! You have to leave before…"
Suddenly, a hurricane of wind gushed into the snowy forest, and all three elves were swept of their feet and were sent blowing off into the sky. Soon Candlehead was alone, and the winds were getting stronger.
"Guys?" Candlehead asked. "Oh no, I have to…get out of…h-here…"
But before she could move, her kart was blown off by the hurricane and went barrelling off into the sky, along with the elves.
"Oh no," Candlehead moaned as she felt herself started to get ripped form the earth. Letting out a scream, she too was taken by the wind, and was blown off out of the forest and into the icy mountains.
It was then that the winds ceased, and the blizzard died down. The moment it did, the three elves returned to the forest, and her kart went crashing to the ground, but Candlehead was nowhere in sight.
"Holy smokes," The first elf said. "What are we going to tell the girl's family?"
"Who said they had to know?" The second elf said. "That's actually a pretty good idea." The first elf said and the three elves took off out of the forest and towards Santa's factory.
