We start at the Bakery. Marinette, Alya and Manon enter the Bakery.
"Merry Christmas to all!" Sung Tom and Sabine. "Mom and Dad, I'll help you in the bakery. To hand the Christmas logs to all my friends you see" Sung Marinette.
Marinette passes the log to Alya but it falls. Alya catches it.
"Merry Christmas Alya and your family!" Sung Marinette. "Thanks my BFF, the same to you three!" Sung Alya.
Alix and her father arrive. Marinette passes the log to them.
"Alix and her dad, Merry Christmas to you!" Sung Marinette. "Tom, Sabine, Marinette Happy Holidays too" Sung Alix.
Rose and Juleka arrives. Marinette passes the log to them.
"Rose and Juleka, gifts for you, you bet!" Sung Marinette. "Merry Christmas to you!" Sung Rose. "Merry Christmas Marinette" Sung Juleka.
Nadja arrives. Marinette passes Manon to her with the log.
"Manon, Merry Christmas, and Nadja!" Sung Marinette.
Nino and Sabrina arrives. Marinette passes a log to both of them.
"Merry Christmas, Nino and Sabrina! Merry Christmas, Chl…" Sung Marinette.
Chloé and her father arrives. Marinette stops singing.
"Do you want a photo?" Asked Chloe. "Marinette, it's Christmas" Said Sabine.
Marinette sings as she gives Chloé the log.
"Merry Christmas, Chloé" Sung Marinette. "Could you repeat that? I couldn't hear you" Said Chloé. "Merry Christmas Chloé!" Yelled Marinette. "Chloé, it's Christmas" Said Andre. "Merry Christmas Marinette! But I hate your guts, don't you forget" Wispered Chloé. "Merry Christmas to all!" Sung Tom, Sabine, Marinette and André.
Chloé and her father leaves. Tom and Sabine kisses Marinette. Hope and Emily arrive, Emily dressed with Hope's Coat over her while Hope is wearing a Sage Coloured Alpha Industries N-3B snorkel parka, with both of them holding Red Felt Sacks.
"How was I supposed to know that they would be outside of here? It would be like assuming Satan is waiting outside of heaven" Said Hope. "Well, I'm pretty sure that's where his outpost is based" Said Emily. "Funny" Said Hope, as he put his Sack on the ground. "Merry Christmas, Hope and Emily!" Sung Marinette. "Oh no, not a musical…" Said Hope, despairing. "Musical? What does he mean?" Asked Marinette. "If I told you about the Sunnydale Musical Plague of 2001, would you believe me?" Asked Emily. "It was so horrible…" Said Hope. "Uh, anyway… we just came here to give you all presents" Said Emily, handing a trifecta of gifts to Marinette from her Sack, witch Marinette handed to her parents in exchange for two Christmas Logs. "Uh, what happened in the Sunnydale Musical Plague of 2001?" Asked Marinette, as she gave Emily and Hope a log each. "Well, basically this friend of mine released a deamon called Sweet that cursed Sunnydale with a plague that made everyone spontaneously burst into song and dance" Said Hope, as he placed his log in his sack and give Marinette his three presents for her family. "Well, that doesn't sound too bad…" Said Marinette, handing the gifts to her parents. "Oh, it wasn't! Until all the spontaneous combustion, the compelling of people to break into song at random moments to express hidden truths and, of course, finding out that my friend was now massively depressed from being revived from the dead after going to heaven and having to bust out of a coffin and dig her way out from underground after said revival" Said Hope. "We should be going now" Said Emily, pulling Hope out of the store. "The worst part was the singing…" Muttered Hope.
As Hope and Emily exited the store, Adrien's bodyguard arrives.
"Adrien's bodyguard. The present! I'll be right back!" Declared Marinette, as she runs off to her room.
In Marinette's room, Marinette searches for her present.
"I don't believe this! Where's the gift? Where did I put it? I'm so lame!" Declared Marinette.
Tikki flies out and pulls the present.
"It's right here, Marinette. See?" Asked Tikki. "Ah! Thanks, Tikki" Said Marinette, as she takes the present.
In the Bakery, Sabine waves goodbye to Adrien's bodyguard as he leaves the Bakery, causing Marinette to follow and leave the bakery before she calls out for Adrien's bodyguard.
"Excuse me? Wait! If you don't mind, this is.. this is for Adrien" Said Marinette
Adrien's bodyguard takes the gift.
"Can you wish him a Merry Christmas from me, that is.. I mean it could be from you too, in fact Merry Christmas to you from.. um, ah.. me, of course.. ah…" Said Marinette.
Marinette waves goodbye and the bodyguard leaves.
"I hope Adrien has a good Christmas" Said Marinette.
Marinette looks at the sky and an image of Adrien appears. Meanwhile, at the Agreste mansion. Adrien and Nathalie are decorating the Christmas tree.
"Check it out, Nathalie. Do you think he will like all the decorations? He should be down here already. Did you call him?" Asked Adrien, as Adrien's bodyguard enters the house. "Perhaps we should give him... a few more minutes" Said Nathalie.
Adrien looks disappointed.
"What's the point? He's not coming" Said Adrien.
Adrien walks away as his bodyguard gives him Marinette's present.
"Thank you. Merry Christmas both of you" Said Adrien, as he walks up to his room.
Meanwhile, in Gabriel's atelier. Gabriel is looking at a picture of his wife. Nathalie knocks the door.
"…Yes?" Asked Gabriel.
Nathalie enters the room, as Gabriel clears his eyes with a handkerchief.
"I can imagine how difficult it must be for you, sir. But it's also Adrien's first Christmas without his mother. I really think, sir..." Said Nathalie. "I know, you're right. I'll go see him. I just need a little more time…" Said Gabriel. "Of course" Said Nathalie, as she leaves the room.
Meanwhile, in Adrien's room. Adrien is seen complaining about his father.
"He's still only thinking of himself! I just want this terrible day to be over and done with! I hate Christmas! Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir. Cat Noir jumps outside onto the The street of Paris and starts running.
"It's Christmas in Paris, all is cheery and bright! But I'm all alone tonight" Sung Cat Noir.
Marinette and her parents are seen having a Christmas dinner.
"Families are together, with their gifts by their side. Only Cat Noir's alone tonight" Sung Cat Noir
Chloé and her father are seen having a Christmas dinner.
"There's no warmth for me, no tenderness for me. I'm alone like a cat in the night! I'm a sad lonely kitty! won't anyone take pity? Cat Noir is alone tonight! Cat Noir is alone tonight! No cares about me, if I'm lost or I'm found and I'm just a cat in the night! I'll take your symbol of joy and burn it to the ground. I'm the vengeful cat of the night! I'm the vengeful cat of the night! Cataclysm!" Sung Cat Noir.
He attempts to use his power against the Christmas tree but a vision of his mother appears.
"I can't do it! I can't do it!" Yelled Cat Noir.
He uses his power against a Gabriel advertisement and it collapses.
"I'm cold and alone, I don't want to be in pain. All that anger was all in vain. I need to go back home to try and find a way. Tomorrow will be a brand new day… Let's go home now. Plagg, claws out" Said Cat Noir as he transforms back into Adrien. "Plagg? Plagg!?" Asked Adrien. "I wish that I can help you, to assist with your transformation. But I can't Adrien, don't you see? I'm tired and distress, I got nothing to digest, I'm weak and I'm running on empty" Sung Plagg, completely weakened and almost dying. "Plagg? Plagg, what have I done? Wait, I'll help you!" Declared Adrien.
Adrien searches for Camembert and finds Marinette's present. He unwraps it, finding that it's a hat, and puts Plagg on it. He notices a letter signed by Marinette and reads it.
"Merry Christmas. Signed Marinette. She's so awesome! We're going to fix you right up, Plagg! Do you hear that? It's Christmas!" Declared Adrien, as he puts the letter back to his shirt as a bell rings.
Adrien stands up and the letter falls.
"Merry Christmas, Plagg" Said Adrien. "Merry Christmas, Adrien" Said Plagg.
Meanwhile, Outside Adrien's room. Gabriel walks up the stairs, carrying a present. He walks into Adrien's room smiling.
"Adrien. Adrien? Adrien!" Shouted Gabriel.
Nathalie and Adrien's chauffeur walk in.
"Go and find him immediately! Immediately!" Shouted Gabriel. "Hello? Yes, Merry Christmas" Said Nathalie, as she visits the homes of Adrien's friends. "No Ma'am, he's not at my house" Said Nino. "Adrien? Isn't he at home?" Asked Alya. "He's been kidnapped? No joke" Said Kim. "Don't worry, Sabrina. We'll find your friend wherever he is" Said Roger. "Kidnapped? I'm sure there's another explanation" Said Sabine. "Let's take a look around the neighborhood, just in case. The presents can wait. You wanna come, Marinette?" Asked Tom. "I'm not feeling so great, I'll just wait here at home and if I hear anything, I'll call you right away. 'kay?" Asked Marinette, before she returned to her room. "I can't believe that you don't want to find Adrien" Said Tikki. "I do, but I won't be much help as Marinette. Tikki, spots on!" Declared Marinette.
Marinette transforms into Ladybug. Meanwhile, in the Streets of Paris, Emily and Hope are walking around before they stop in front of Hope's house.
"Well, I guess I should be the one to deliver these. I haven't seen our friends in quite some time…" Said Hope. "Well, you've been doing some important work, haven't you?" Asked Emily, handing Hope her sack of presents. "Depending on how you categorise important, then most likely" Said Hope, as he grabbed the sack of presents and teleported away.
Emily checked that Hope's home was locked up, before she saw Adrien walking in the cold as he talks to Plagg.
"Don't worry, Plagg, I'll find you something to eat. I can't promise it'll be Camembert" Said Adrien. "Adrien!? Is that you?" Asked Emily. "Emily!? What are you doing here?" Asked Adrien. "Well, Hope lives here and I live with him. Why you are here is a different question. This is very far from home, young man" Said Emily. "Well, I kinda ran away from home…" Said Adrien. "So? Can't you just get back as Cat Noir?" Asked Emily. "Well my Kwami, Plagg, has run out of energy and can't help transform me" Said Adrien. "How do you do?" Asked Plagg. "Uh… anything will do?" Asked Emily, checking her pockets. "Preferably, Cheese. Runnier, the better" Said Plagg. "Oh, so I guess pocket lint isn't on the menu" Said Emily. "At this point, I'd take crumbs" Said Plagg. "It might be quicker to go to a shop" Said Adrien. "I'll go with you. Don't want any fashion icon kidnappers getting to you" Said Emily, as they walked down the street.
They turn a corner and see a man in a Santa Claus outfit being harassed by a pair of kids.
"Ho, ho, ho! No need to grab now, children. Good old Santa Claus has a gift for everyone" Said Santa Claus. "These gifts are so lame, and I bet this is totally fake!" Said the Girl, pulling on Santa's beard. "Hey! Easy on the beard!" Declared Santa. "Yeah! Totally. No way you're the real Santa Claus!" Declared the boy. "Hey! Don't tug on Santa's beard" Said Emily. "She's right. What's wrong with you? Even if he's not the real one, what would Santa think of your behavior?" Asked Adrien. "The young man and woman are absolutely right. Kids, say sorry right now" Said the father of the children. "Sorry, Santa Claus" Said the kids. "It's no big deal, children. Merry Christmas anyway" Said Santa. "Same to you" Said the Father, as they walked away. "I'm sorry, Sir, are you okay?" Asked Adrien. "Yeah. I hope those kids didn't rough you up to bad, Santa" Said Emily. "Fine. Don't worry, I'm a tough old Santa. But, what are you two doing out at this time of night? Are you lost? He's not exactly dressed for the cold weather. Maybe you'd both like some hot chocolate, I've got some left" Said Santa. "What do you say, Adrien? Hot Chocolate. Sleigh Ride at 10pm. Possibly some work experience delivering gifts" Said Emily. "Ha ha… I'm convinced. I'd love some, Sir, doesn't get much better than that" Said Adrien.
Plagg comes out of Adrien's Christmas hat
"Ahem!" Exclaimed Plagg. "Except maybe a slice of Camembert?" Said Adrien. "Oh you're in luck! I've still got some sandwich leftover. This is some of the smelliest cheese I've ever come across" Said Santa. "Hmm, that smells… perfect" Said Adrien. "To each it's own" Said Santa.
Emily and Adrien enter the sleigh, as it starts to move.
"So, Adrien… You're not lost then, I hope" Said Santa.
Adrien feeds Plagg one slice of Camembert, and Plagg now feels better
"So little food, and he's ok…" Said Emily. "Uh, well, It's my first Christmas without my mom, sir. And my father…" Said Adrien. "Doesn't know how to move on? I understand. But your dad must be wondering where you are, you know. He must be very worried about you. Now that you've gotten out of the house and cleared your thoughts a bit, don't you think it'd be a good idea to go home?" Asked Santa. "Yeah, you're right" Said Adrien. "So insightful…" Said Emily. "Atta boy, that's what Christmas is all about. Families together. I'll take you there" Said Santa. "Alright, but you put this on" Said Adrien. "Hmm?" Asked Santa. "The friend who gave it to me would want you to have it" Said Adrien. "Huh? Is that a present from Marinette?" Asked Emily. "Yes, it is" Said Adrien. "Oh, uh…" Said Emily. "A present, for me?" Asked Santa. "Everyone deserves a Christmas present" Said Adrien. "Thanks a lot, son" Said Santa, putting the hat on. "… Yike…" Said Emily. "Something the matter, Madame?" Asked Santa. "Oh! No, nothing is wrong currently" Said Emily.
Meanwhile, Outside Hôtel de Ville. Ladybug swings by and sees the damage caused by Cat Noir's Cataclysm.
"There is only one thing this kind of damage can bring, Cat Noir's Cataclysm, am I right? And look this gift wrap too, it's an important clue, it's from my present to Adrien tonight. Adrien disappears, and Cat Noir steps in, he must be working to protect him. My only explanation, my speculation, is that some supervillain is after Adrien. It's a good thing I'm here, I'll protect him without fear, this boy that I secretly love. Now with all of my might, I'll save you tonight, you're the boy that I secretly love. If you'll never know it's true, I'll be there for you, you're the boy that I secretly love. But what would you do if you knew what's true, that's why I so secretly love you… Who could possibly been akumatized on Christmas Eve? Footsteps…" Said Ladybug.
Meanwhile, in the Streets of Paris. Santa Claus is riding in his sleigh with Adrien and Emily.
"How about you, sir? Where will you be celebrating Christmas?" Asked Adrien. "Me? I have all of Paris. The whole world even! Ho, ho, ho!" Declared Santa. "All by yourself, huh? Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Take me back home and have Christmas with us! I need you to bring the Christmas spirit back into our home" Said Adrien. "Yeah! That's a great idea if you don't get punished for this or something. But he is right. Nobody should be alone on Christmas" Said Emily. "All right then. But I can't stay for too long, you do know that Santa's very busy at Christmas time" Said Santa. "Thank you" Said Adrien. "You've definitely got the character down" Said Emily. "Who said anything about a character?" Asked Santa, with a wink.
Some time later, Outside the Agreste mansion. Adrien rings the doorbell while Emily Santa is behind him, Gabriel answers.
"Adrien, is that you? And Emily as well. Who are you?" Asked Gabriel. "Isn't it obvious? I'm Santa Claus!" Declared Santa. "Really now? That would make me the Easter Bunny. You're here for money, I suppose? I'll get my bodyguard to deal with you" Said Gabriel. "No, you're wrong, father!" Declared Adrien. "Yeah, Santa's the one who…" Said Emily. "No, he's not. Your father's got the right idea. He's a supervillain under Hawk Moth's control" Said Ladybug as she confronts them, angrily. "What?" Asked Adrien. "Hey. Did you happen to destroy anything as Cat Noir?" Wispered Emily. "Um… there was one thing…" Wispered Adrien. "Great…" Wispered Emily. "You're all totally crazy!" Shouted Santa. "No, Ladybug stop! That man hasn't been akumatized!" Declared Adrien. "I know when I'm looking at an akuma victim, trust me" Said Ladybug. "No. He is Santa Claus. Santa, get out of here" Said Emily, as she stood in front of Santa. "Ok!" Declared Santa, before he runs away on his sleigh. "Ugh… Adrien, You're safe now. Go on home" Said Ladybug, as she swings after him. "I'm going after her so she doesn't knock Santa's beard off. You try smoothing things over with your dad" Said Emily, as she chased after Ladybug. "No wait! Plagg!" Shouted Adrien. "Adrien" Said Nathalie.
Scene: Streets of Paris. Santa Claus runs away from Ladybug, but she catches up to him.
"C'mon ponies, giddy up!" Declared Santa.
Ladybug wraps Santa with her yo-yo and takes him out of his sleigh, headfirst into the snow
"Hey! Are you out of your mind? This hurts really bad!" Shouted Santa.
Meanwhile, in Hawk Moth's lair. Hawk Moth's window opens.
"Ahh. Without even knowing it, you're giving me the best Christmas gift ever, Ladybug. An innocent man wrongly accused, and the spirit of Christmas is broken! Fly away, my little akuma. You have all that you need to evilize this Santa" Said Hawk Moth, as he turns a butterfly into an akuma.
At the Agreste mansion, Adrien goes to his room.
"Where are you going, Adrien?" Asked Nathalie. "To my room, of course, since my father isn't celebrating Christmas" Said Adrien, still expressing anger. "Of course he is Adrien. Your father came to see earlier, but you'd gone out. I'll tell him that you're waiting for him. Just making sure you'll stay in your room this time" Said Nathalie. "Yeah, okay" Said Adrien.
Meanwhile, Ladybug continues to hold Santa up before Emily grabs her Yo-Yo and steals it before letting Santa go.
"Ladybug, this isn't an Supervillain! He's just someone going around on Christmas in a Santa Costume" Said Emily. "So… he's not a supervillain?" Asked Ladybug. "He is literally in a Santa Claus costume" Said Emily. "Of course I'm no supervillain! I think you've been reading too many comic books, young lady" Said Santa. "I'm sorry about my friend, let me help you…" Said Emily, about to help Santa up. "No thank you! I'm sorry, but I need some time alone" Said Santa as he stands up and walks away. "…Let me guess. You heard that Adrien went missing and when you saw the destroyed advertisement assumed that there was also a supervillain fighting Cat Noir?" Asked Emily. "Uh… yeah…" Said Ladybug. "Yeah… that would make sense…" Said Emily.
Meanwhile, Santa continues walking away.
"Nobody around here respects the spirit of Christmas anymore" Said Santa, as the akuma enters his hat. "Well, I believe in you. Santa Claws, I am Hawk Moth. They wrongly accused you of being a supervillain, so that's what you'll get to be from now on. In exchange, since I've been good enough all year round, I'm going to ask you for two gifts. Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous" Said Hawk Moth. "I shall deliver. Merry Christmas, Hawk Moth!" Declared Santa, as he is transformed.
Meanwhile, with Emily and Ladybug.
"Well, I guess we should get going. I mean, it's not like Hawk Moth could akumatize someone like Santa Claus, right?" Asked Emily. "Ladybug!" Shouted Santa Claws. "You think you can get away with making fun of me? You think you can get away with accusing me? I am Santa Claws! I'm a rebel with a cause! I'll punish and give you a fright! Have a horrible Christmas night!" Rapped Santa Claws.
Santa Claws throws a present full of bats at them and flies away on his sleigh, as Emily looks on.
"I can't believe it. The infallible spirit of Santa, broken. Look at what you've done" Said Emily. "I… uh…" Said Ladybug.
Agreste mansion. Adrien plays video games, while being watched by his chauffeur. Adrien drops his controllers and walks away in disappointment. To his and his chaffeur's surprise, Santa Claws appears.
"Santa Claus?" Asked Adrien. "Not exactly! I am Santa Claws! I'm a rebel with a cause! I'll punish and give you a fright! Have a horrible Christmas night" Rapped Santa Claws.
Santa Claws throws Adrien's Bodyguard a present full of spiders and the Bodyguard runs away in fear, as Adrien looks on.
"I'll do you no harm, Adrien. I'm in your debt! You gave me a present, and that I won't forget. In fact, I will avenge you! I'll avenge us too!" Declared Santa Claws. "No, wait!" Shouted Adrien. "This will be the Christmas of revenge!" Declared Santa Claws, as he left. "Plagg, claws out!" Declared Adrien.
Adrien transforms into Cat Noir. Meanwhile, at the Le Grand Paris hotel. André and Chloé are going to have Christmas dinner.
"Santa Claus has come this year, my sweet Chloé!" Declared André, as Santa Claws appeared. "Aaah!" Screamed Chloé. "Horrible Christmas, everyone! I am Santa Claws! I'm a rebel with a cause!" Begun Santa Claws. "Hey! My presents!" Yelled Chloé. "I'll punish and give you a fright! Have a horrible Christmas night. Horrible Christmas, everyone!" Declared Santa Claws, as he flies away on his sleigh.
Suddenly, sparks erupted from the side of the Sleigh, as the words "Ken de ikuze! No! No! Ju de go! Go! Bang! Bang! Onjuuken Suzune! Suzune Gakushou! Amai miwaku no juuken ga, okashina rhythm de beat wo kiri kizamu!" could be heard, before Santa looked down at a nearby rooftop to see Emily, transformed into Kamen Rider Slash Hanselnuts to Gretel Form and Ladybug.
"It's just the three of us, Santa Claws!" Declared Ladybug. "The four of us, m'Lady" Said Cat Noir. "Cat Noir? Where were you? What happened to Adrien?" Asked Ladybug, as she wrapped her yo-yo around the Sleigh. "It's a long story. Cats have their little secrets too, y'know?" Said Cat Noir.
Ladybug, Emily and Cat Noir climb up Ladybug's Yo-Yo and get on Santa Claw's sleigh
"Who's going to deliver presents to the children now, Santa Claws?" Asked Cat Noir. "There are no more presents, no more spirit of Christmas! You should've been good" Said Santa Claws.
He throws Cat Noir a present which Emily shoots, releasing a swarm of bees from the holes in the box.
"Well, I should be fine in my suit" Said Emily. "We've been good all year round!" Declared Cat Noir. "Not enough, apparently" Said Ladybug. "Perhaps maybe next time we won't go accusing Santa of kidnapping" Said Emily. "What do you mean?" Asked Cat Noir. "Don't worry about it" Said Emily. "How 'bout a nice sleigh ride, my little, wretched elves! Ho, ho, ho, ho! Hold on! Here we go!" Declared Santa Claws, as the sleigh starts driving around crazily. "Don't you have to have a license to drive one of these things?" Asked Cat Noir. "It's time to open your gifts, kiddies!" Declared Santa Claws. "I'm gonna try to stop the sleigh. You two deal with Santa Claws!" Declared Ladybug.
Cat Noir and Emily fight with Santa Claws. Ladybug gets on one of the reindeer. Emily kicks Santa Claws towards the edge of the Sleigh before he falls, but Cat Noir catches him.
"Thank you" Said Santa Claws, before he throws Cat Noir off the sleigh. "Woah, Ladybug!" Shouted Cat Noir. "Not again!" Declared Ladybug "Well, that's my cue to go as well!" Declared Emily.
Emily and Ladybug dives down to save him and Ladybug swings them towards Alya's house. Meanwhile, As the Césaire Family and Hope enjoy a Christmas dinner, Ladybug, Emily and Cat Noir swing in and fall on top of each other, causing Emily to cancel her transformation.
"… i guess Santa got a new present delivery service this year?" Asked Hope, as he walked over and helped the other heroes up. "Ladybug? Cat Noir? Emily? Now that's a Christmas scoop! Anything you'd like to say for the Ladyblog?" Asked Alya. "Hope? Why are you here?" Asked Emily. "I've delivered all our presents and was invited here by Alya. It's been nice" Said Hope. "Uh, it's not at all what it looks like" Said Ladybug.
Santa Claws flies by and Cat Noir is about to follow him, but Ladybug stops him
"No, wait. That isn't gonna work. Lucky Charm!" Declared Ladybug.
Ladybug's Lucky Charm gives her a box.
"I hope it's not trying to tell us to move to another city" Said Cat Noir. "Oh no, then what will we call ourselves? The Marseian Heroes of France?" Asked Hope. "Could always be the Nice Heroes" Said Cat Noir. "Aw, I missed you. Hey, speaking of…" Said Hope, as he handed Ladybug and Cat Noir a Christmas present each. "Thank you, Hope" Said Cat Noir. "Thanks Hope. Ok. For my plan to work, I'll need packing tape, scissors and office supplies. Do you guys have those things here?" Asked Ladybug. "In there" Said Alya. "Right here" Said Marlena. "And here!" Declared Etta and Ella, as Ladybug gathered the packing tape, scissors and office supplies, before writing down a list. "My Christmas list. Go to the Dupain-Cheng's bakery and grab these items. Then meet me back at the Eiffel Tower, I'll explain everything once we're there" Said Ladybug. "What do we do?" Asked Emily. "I'll need Stone Free" Said Ladybug. "That's me. What about Emily?" Asked Hope. "Go with Cat Noir. Makes sure he stays urgent" Said Ladybug.
Ladybug, Emily and Cat Noir go over to the windows
"I've always dreamed of being your Santa Claus, M'Lady" Said Cat Noir. "And I'll be your Misses Claus" Said Emily, holding onto Cat Noir as they left. "Don't worry, Christmas will be back to normal soon enough" Said Ladybug, as Hope as Kamen Rider Stand Stone Free Form turned into a scarf and wrapped himself around Ladybug's neck. "I'm ready to go when you are" Said Hope. "You can talk like this?" Asked Ladybug. "Communication is important" Said Hope. "Ok. Let's go" Said Ladybug, as she swung away. "Go get 'em. Lady-Claus" Said Alya.
Some time later, near the Eiffel Tower. Santa Claws flies by the Eiffel Tower and something catches his eye. He finds a present there with a drawing of him, with Ladybug, Cat Noir and Emily standing nearby.
"It's… It's me" Said Santa Claws. "Santa, you're the winner. We stand down and surrender. We fear you have defeated us, so we give you our Miraculous. But beforehand, here is a gift for you. 'Cause on Christmas Eve, even you have a right to that too" Sung Emily and Cat Noir. "A present? For me?" Said Santa Claws. "Don't listen to him, it has to be a trap!" Declared Hawk Moth. "Rebel with the cause, you give us so much fright. We all have the right to a present on Christmas night" Sung Emily and Cat Noir.
Santa Claws tries to take the present, but his arm stops moving.
"What's happening to me!?" Asked Santa Claws. "Infiltration secured…" Said Hope, as the helmet of Kamen Rider Stand Stone Free Form appeared over Santa Claw's shoulder.
Santa Claws' arms were quickly tied together by Hope before Ladybug jumps out of the present.
"Merry Christmas!" Declared Ladybug as she takes Santa Claws' hat and throws it to Cat Noir. "Cataclysm!" Declared Cat Nior.
Cat Noir catches Santa Claws' hat and destroys it
"Merry Christmas, milady" Said Cat Noir. "Thanks, kitty. No more evil doing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize! Gotcha! Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Declared Ladybug, as she purifies the Akuma and tosses the Lucky Charm in the air, returning everything to normal.
Hope separated himself from Santa Claws as he turned back into Santa Claus.
"Pound it!" Declared Ladybug, Cat Noir, Emily and Hope, as they fist bumped. "Ladybug, Cat Noir. Go ahead and enjoy your Christmas this time, but we'll see who gets the best presents next Christmas" Said Hawk Moth.
Later at the Agreste mansion, in Gabriel's atelier. Gabriel talks to Adrien in front of his mother's portrait.
"Adrien. You understand I can't have you disappearing like that. I couldn't bare the thought of losing you" Said Gabriel, distressingly and sadly.
Adrien closes his eyes, startled by seeing that how much his father really cares about him now. Suddenly, the bell rings, Nathalie presses a button and opens the gate
"I think it's for you" Said Nathalie.
Nathalie, Adrien Gabriel go to the foyer and open the front door
"I informed everyone that Adrien was home, safe and sound, sir. They were all worried about their friend" Said Nathalie. "Oh please, father. It's Christmas" Said Adrien. "Of course. Come on in" Said Gabriel.
Adrien's classmates and their families enter.
"Aww, brother!" Said Nino, as he and Adrien hugged. "Merry Christmas, Adrien" Said Nathalie. "Merry Christmas to all!" Declared Everyone around the table. "Merry Christmas, mom" Said Adrien, looking at his family portrait with his mother.
Meanwhile, at Hope's Home. Emily and Hope sit in front of a Christmas tree.
"You know… with all the superheroics we've done… it's actually past twelve…" Said Hope. "So it's actually Christmas now? I guess we can give each other there gifts now. You can open yours now" Said Emily. "Me first? How kind of you" Said Hope.
Hope opens his present, revealing it to be a Revice Driver and Rex Vistamp.
"Ah, so another has come, have they?" Asked Hope. "Two. Two people can transform using that Driver, the Revice Driver" Said Emily. "So it's like a W situation?" Asked Hope. "Oh, no. You and your innder deamon transform together" Said Emily. "And I think I'll definitely be modifying this one to be a safe medium between both. Who made such a device?" Asked Hope. "George Karizaki" Said Emily. "I've never heard of him before… it's a lovely present, Emily. Would you like to open mine?" Asked Hope. "Sure" Said Emily.
Emily opens her present, revealing it to be a belt with a screen at the buckle section.
"What is this?" Asked Emily. "Well, as perfect as it is for you to have gotten me a Driver for Christmas, the thing is… I did the same. I hate to say it, but the Reborn System is a tad outdated" Said Hope. "Is this a new driver?" Asked Emily. "Yes. That is the Hamon Driver, and in your hands, it will be the greatest system" Said Hope. "The Hamon Driver? I thought you wouldn't make anything else with…" Said Emily. "No. It isn't powered the same way as the Stand Player. That is powered using the sun and sheer human tenacity" Said Hope. "Thank you, Hope… hey, what did you get Ladybug and Cat Noir?" Asked Emily. "Oh, them? Nothing too major…" Said Hope.
Meanwhile, in their rooms, Marinette and Adrien open the cards on the side of their presents.
"Dear Ladybug/ Cat Nior, I entrusted these precious materials to you to use in the case of an emergency while you are without Kiwami and/or Miraculous. Treat these as if they themselves were Miraculous, but do know that they will not hold the powers of a miraculous. Anyway, Merry Mass of Christ, Hope Xiao Rose" Read Marinette and Adrien.
Marinette and Adrien then open their presents, revealing Marinette's present to be a SlashAbaddoriser and a Progrisekey called Solving Ladybug, as Adrien's present is revealed to be a ShotAbaddoriser and a Progrisekey called Cracking Puma.
