Sorry this chapter was late, but I had a few family problems to deal with. Here's the Christmas Special, and it has all the characters and their families in it, so it may get confusing at some parts due to all the names. But remember, the families are NOT major characters. I put them into this episode because Christmas is about being with family, so the name confusion will only be in this episode.
Now enjoy the Christmas Special, everyone!! And thanks to Neo H.B.B. Sam for providing this episode's basic plotline.
A snowflake descends from the white winter sky, followed by another... and another... and many, many more. An EEnE version of "Joy to the World" plays as the snowflakes fall down towards the snowy streets of Peach Creek, which are decked out for Christmas. Alto vocals sing the song as letter-shaped snowflakes fall together and form the episode title:
Ed, Edd n Eddy's Holly Jolly Holiday!!!
The song continues as the camera pans to the Citrus Valley Mall near Peach Creek. Inside, tons of people are Christmas shopping. As they do so, the person singing "Joy to the World" is revealed to be Rachel, singing on a small circular stage in the mall with a few backup singers. She's wearing her gray jacket, a purple-striped scarf, and a Santa hat. People have gathered around to hear her sing, including Double-D, Eddy, the Kankers (including their mom Ursula, who has a gray winter coat), and Rachel's mom Nikki. She looks mostly the same as in her picture cameo in "My Ed for You," but now her lips are pink and her hair is tied into a bun. She wears a brown coat, black pants and boots, and the same scarf as her daughter Rachel, who has has finished singing.
"WHOOOOO!!!" everyone around Rachel cheers, while Nikki proudly comments "That's my girl!"
"Isn't it wonderful, Eddy?! The holidays are here again! The season of joy and great giving, a time much adored, has come once again!" Double-D says.
"Don't forget presents!" Eddy adds, causing Double-D to glare at him. Eddy then says "Chill, Sockhead; I'm not the same greedy hog as before."
"HE'S COMING AGAIN!! HE'S COMING!!" Ed merrily bounds towards his fellow Eds, grabbing them and dancing around the mall with them, knocking over people and stands in the process. "It's Christmas Eve, guys, and that means..." he breaks into song: "SANTA'S COMIN, TONIGHT TONIGHT!! SANTA'S COMIN TONIGHT!!"
Nearby people laugh at Ed, and one laughs "What a joke!"
A guy walks up to Ed, and asks "Dude, you're like what, sixteen or seventeen. And you STILL believe in Santa Claus?"
"Believe?..... I SAW Santa!" Ed answers, which earns him even more laughs. Double-D and Eddy just watch, unsure if they should say something.
"HEY, LOOK! IT'S SANTA!" a girl points at a Santa standee, and Ed leaps onto it with instintive joy, only to discover that it's a fake. Everyone laughs, and a guy tells Ed "Grow up, buddy. Santa ain't real. He's nothin but childrens' folklore."
"YOU'RE WRONG!!" Ed yells. "SANTA'S REAL!! MY FRIENDS AND I SAW HIM AND HIS REINDEER ONCE," he grabs Double-D and Eddy, "AND HE GAVE US GIFTS!! Right, guys?!"
".......... Uhhhh....." Double-D and Eddy hesitate.
"Whatever, I'm done here." a guy says before moving on, and the others also go and continue their shopping.
"Eddy, Double-D. Why didn't you answer 'uh-huh' when I needed you guys to back me up?" Ed asks.
"What, and be called fools just like you were?" Eddy asks back.
"Eddy's right, Ed." Double-D says. "It's no use telling people that Santa exists. Just let them believe what they wanna believe until they see ol' St. Nick themselves."
"..... Until they see ol' St. Nick themselves....." Double-D's words echo through Ed's head.
After coming home from the mall, Ed paces around his room, Double-D's words still echoing through his head...
"I'll show em... I'll show em all that Santa DOES exist." Ed mutters to himself as he takes out a notepad and pencil from a pile of junk under his bed. Then he stops to think of something else...
"..... And maybe I should get something for May, too." he tells himself. "What loving gift would she like?..... Come on, brain! Think! Don't fail me now..."
Night falls over Peach Creek. In the Kankers' trailer, we see four stockings hung along the side of the stairs, one for each Kanker. Ursula's is green, Lee's is red, Marie's is blue, and May's is yellow.
"Oh, boy!" May reaches into her stocking, but Lee grabs her wrist.
"Remember? No touchin the stockings til after we come back from Rachel's house." Lee reminds May.
"Let's get goin, girls." Ursula tells her daughters. They put on their winter gear head out through the snow towards Nikki's and Rachel's house.
In the cul-de-sac, all the houses have the same holiday decorations as in "Jingle Jingle Jangle." And the celebrations are already underway.
In Jimmy's house, Jimmy and his mom Wendy, both wearing red sweaters, are putting the final touches to their gingerbread town. And with Wendy's aid, the town is even more elegant than in "Jingle Jingle Jangle!"
"Isn't it beautiful, Mom?" Jimmy asks.
"Indeed!" Wendy answers, then calls to her husband: "James, it's done!"
Jimmy's dad James comes and sees the town, but is displeased about one thing: "Oh come on, where's the hockey players? No Winter Wonderland is complete without hockey."
"I told you beforehand, honey. Hockey is just too brutal for an artful town such as this!" Wendy says.
Nazz, wearing an outfit similar to the one she wore in "Jingle Jingle Jangle," is setting up her kitchen table with her mom Tabby, who's wearing a red wool sweater and black pants. Their doorbell rings.
"I'll get it." Nazz opens the door: "ERIN!!"
"Merry Christmas Eve, little cousin!" Erin kisses Nazz as she enters. She's wearing a long blue winter coat, red mittens, and a Santa hat.
"Where's Aunt Marian?" Nazz asks.
"Mom's gettin the presents out of my car." Erin points to Marian, her mother and Nazz's aunt who was mentioned in "Your Ed Here." Marian resembles Nazz, Erin and Tabby, but has a more robust physique. She has black-&-brown hair, and is wearing a beige winter coat, black pants, and earmuffs.
"Gimme a moment, girls!" Marian reaches and strains herself to get all the presents out of Erin's car. She carries the presents inside, where she kisses niece Nazz and sister Tabby.
"There's eggnog in the refrigerator." Tabby says. "And Marian, please save some for Gerald this time."
Kevin is wrapping up dozens of presents for his family and friends when his father comes with bags.
"Did some last-minute shoppin, son!" Kevin's dad gives Kevin the bags, which have more presents for him to wrap up.
"Ugh..." Kevin rolls his eyes at this, but cheers up as he grabs one of the presents he already wrapped. He labels it "To Jenn."
Jonny and his mom are taking their houseplants down into the basement while Plank "watches" from the sofa. Jonny & Plank are wearing their Jack Frost and Mr. Snowflake outfits from "Jingle Jingle Jangle." Jonny's mom is white-skinned, has brown hair, and is wearing a turquoise sweater, black pants, turquoise shoes, and an icicle headpiece similar to Jonny's. when Jonny brings down the final plant...
"Ok Ma, that's all of em!" Jonny tells his mom, who shuts off the heaters.
"Freeze the house, Phil!" Jonny's mom tells her husband Phil, a bald black man wearing the same-colored clothes as his wife and also having the same icicle headpiece as her and their son.
"Alrighty, Selena!" Phil closes the windows, opens the freezer, and turns the freeze meter all the way up...
Eddy's dad, wearing a Santa hat, is carrying a load of presents around his house to hide them. He barges into his room, where his wife (also wearing a Santa hat) is looking through the closet.
"What are you doing, Roger?" Eddy's mom asks her husband (Roger).
"I'm lookin for somewhere Eddy would never think of checkin out for these presents. You know anywhere, Gladys?" Roger asks his wife (Gladys), but then... "Oh, I know!"
Roger shoves the presents under his and Gladys's bed, making the bed stick up. Roger tries pressing it back down, but this forces the presents through the floor, and we hear Eddy down below!
"Ooooo, what did I get this year?!" we hear Eddy unwrapping the presents.
"HEY!" Roger rushes downstairs to stop Eddy.
Double-D's parents, wearing winter coats and hats, pull up onto their driveway, but one of their front tires is blown by a sharp piece of ice sticking out of the ground.
"Oh, for heaven's sake." Mother complains at the blown tire.
"We'll fix it later." Father says as they step out of the car. Mother slips, and Father catches her: "Careful, Phoebe!"
"Thank you, Morgan!" Mother (Phoebe) thanks her husband (Morgan).
Phoebe and Morgan go up to their front door, which has a "Season's Greetings from the Hart Family" wreath on it. They open it and enter the house, which is decorated with numerous Christmas plants.
"Eddward, we're home!" Phoebe calls, and Double-D comes down the stairs.
"Mother!! Father!!" Double-D embraces with his parents.
The windows of Paul's and his family's house are decorated with colorful Christmas lights. Inside, we see Paul's folks running around up-&-down the stairs and in-&-out of apartments. The older family members are chasing down the younger ones, who are trying to open their presents early. In Paul's apartment...
"PAUL ELIJAH STEWART, GET YO ASS OUT HERE AND HELP GET THE PRESENTS BACK!!" Paul's fat mom calls to him. She has black hair and is wearing a purple sweater, blue jeans, gold flip-flops, and a gold necklace and bracelets.
"Alright Mama, I'm comin. Geez." Paul steps out of his room to help catch the kids running around with presents. He focuses on one of them, a little girl with braids: "GIMME THAT, LALA!"
Paul chases his younger relative Lala around and grabs the present she took, but she tugs.
"LET GO, LALA!" Paul tells Lala, who's aided by two more youngsters. They tug against Paul until finally decide to let go of the present, sending Paul flying into his Christmas tree, knocking it over. The kids then take more presents while Paul gets up. Paul finds a life-sized woman doll among the remaining presents, smirks pervertedly, and takes the doll with him into his room!
Illuminated snowmen stand on Jenna's lawn, and her front door has a "Feliz Navidad" sign on it. Inside, we see pictures of Jenna, her parents, and her relatives all hung on a wall. Her Christmas tree is lit red-&-green with matching ornaments, one of which is a stylized "La Familia de Flores." Jenna's parents are having dinner in the kitchen. Her mom resembles her, but has thinner lips and her hair has gray streaks as a sign of aging. She wears a red shirt with a fur-collar, black pants, red shoes, and a pearl necklace. Jenna's dad has shoulder-length black hair done into a ponytail, has a thick moustache, and has a few age-induced facial wrinkles. He's wearing a buttoned green shirt, blue jeans and black shoes.
"[Jenna, come down. Your food's getting cold.]" Jenna's mom calls in Spanish, but no response.
"[I'll get her, honey.]" Jenna's dad goes upstairs to Jenna's room, and knocks on her door: "[Jennifer, it's Christmas. So come eat with your family.]"
"[I'll be there in a moment, Papi.]" Jenna replies from inside her poster-filled room, wearing an outfit similar to her mom's, but has a skirt instead of pants, lacks a necklace, and has a Santa hat. She is wrapping up a present on her lamp-lit desk, then blushingly labels it "xoxo Kevin xoxo."
Colorful Christmas lights adorn the twin bushes by Zoe's stoop and the windows and fringes of her house. On her roof we see illuminated reindeer. Inside, we see her Christmas tree, which has colorful flashing lights. Zoe's mom, wearing a Mrs. Claus outfit, is cooking bibingka (a traditional Filipino rice cake associated with Christmas) in the kitchen. Zoe, wearing a sleeveless version of her mom's outfit with her hair loose, is putting a star outfit onto her infant brother (who was mentioned in "I Get an Ed Out of You"). Sparky runs around, wearing a Christmas dog sweater.
"There ya go, Kenny!" Zoe finishes putting the star costume onto her baby brother Kenny: "Awww, you adorable little thing!"
Zoe kisses Kenny's forehead, then their dad Thomas bursts in, wearing a complete Santa outfit.
"HO HO HELLO, LAURIE, ZOE AND KENNY!! GUESS WHO'S HERE?!" Thomas makes way for numerous relatives surging into the house, and shouts "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!!"
"WHOOHOO!! MOST WICKED!!" Zoe jumps into partying with her family.
Kyle's lawn has an illuminated sleigh, and his Christmas palm tree can be seen through the front window. Kyle himself, wearing a brown fur coat, a blue winter hat and gloves, and black boots, is giving Sarah a present. Sarah is wearing the same winter attire from the cartoon series.
"Feel free and open it whenever you like!" Kyle says. "It's sure to help you whenever you need it."
"Thanks, Kyle!" Sarah hugs Kyle. "Sorry I didn't get you a present, though."
"No worries, it's all good!" Kyle replies.
"Thanks again!" Sarah thanks. "You should get going now. Tell your folks I said hi!"
"Sure thing! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" Kyle goes with his mother, a pretty blonde woman wearing a green winter coat and the same hat and gloves as her son. They get into their station wagon, which is packed with their stuff, and they drive away to spend the holidays with their family back in Pomelo Beach, their original home mentioned in "Eds Gone Wild."
Ed watches Double-D go to Eddy's house, then sneaks into his garage using a flashlight to see.
"Forgive me, Double-D." Ed grabs a custom-built snowmobile labeled "Hydroelectric Snowspeeder Prototype B, do not touch." Ed goes in it, puts on the seatbelt, starts the engine, and speeds outside. A vacuum-like sucker on the front of the snowspeeder is taking in snow, and a complex mechanism inside it melts the snow into water and utilizes it for hydroelectricity that powers the vehicle. Ed stops by Rachel's house, which has illuminated angels on the front porch. Through the window we see Rachel's silver-&-gold Christmas tree, lit with white lights and topped with a rotating angel. Numerous Christmas chimes and a nativity display are also seen. Rachel and her mom Nikki, both wearing purple turtleneck sweaters, are chatting and having cocoa with the visiting Kankers. Ed sees May...
"I'll get you a present. I promise." Ed then turns the snowspeeder around, and follows signs to head north out of Peach Creek.
Later, Eddy and Double-D are heading to Ed's house, with Double-D bringing a poinsettia. Then they notice...
"That's odd. Ed hasn't moved the chimney to his room yet." Double-D points out.
"He's probably still makin preparations for Santa." Eddy assumes. They go around to Ed's window, and Eddy slides in: "Hey, Mr. Yuletide Lump!..... Ed?...... Hello?......"
"Maybe he's upstairs." Double-D goes around to the front door and rings the bell, where Sarah opens up. She's now wearing her Christmas gown.
"Hey, Double-D!" she greets.
"Hello, I've come to deliver these poinsettias!" Double-D says. "Oh, have you seen Ed? He's not in his room."
"He should be here somewhere." Sarah lets Double-D in. "Now that you mention it, I wonder why he hasn't moved the chimney yet."
"I thought the same thing." Double-D replies, then Sarah calls her mom Angela upstairs: "MOM, IS ED UP THERE?!"
"Uh... Stan, is Edwin up here?" Angela's voice asks Stan who's also upstairs, and Angela recopricates his answer to Sarah: "NO HE ISN'T, PRINCESS!"
".... Then where is he?" Sarah and Double-D ask simultaneously, then Eddy comes up from the basement with a note: "Guys, you better read this."
Eddy shows the note to Double-D and Sarah, written by Ed:
"Deer family,
Its horrible that there's people who don't believe in Santa and call him fake. It isn't true, i saw him with my own eyes and so did my friends. He's a kajillion percent REAL, and not believing in what's real is mind rot. So i'm taking it on myself to prove to the unbelievers that Santa exists. I'm taking Double-D's snowspeeder to go to the North Pole and tell Santa everything, and i'm coming back with him to show everybody he's real!
Love, Ed"
Double-D, Eddy and Sarah zip to Double-D's garage, and find his snowspeeder gone. Double-D screams "ED!!"
"IS HE OUT OF HIS FUCKIN MIND?!!" Eddy asks in worry and anger. "WE GOTTA TRACK HIM DOWN! PRONTO!"
Sarah goes to tell her parents, and they rush to put on their winter gear (Angela has a glamorous white coat, Stan has a regular green coat) and hop into their car with Sarah, Double-D and Eddy. Stan tries starting the car, but sees that the fuel meter is empty!
"WHY DIDN'T YOU REFUEL WHEN I TOLD YA SO, YOU IDIOT?!!" Angela chokes Stan in the same way Sarah chokes Ed!
"Um... I KNOW, THE RETRO VAN!!" Double-D goes to his retro van, only to discover that his exhaust pipe is frozen. Then he, Eddy, Sarah, Angela and Stan run around in panic. Jimmy, Nazz, Kevin, Jonny and their families come out, asking what's going on.
Rolf (wearing a modified version of his sheep outfit from "Jingle Jingle Jangle") is dining on meat with his parents & grandparents. Like Rolf, they have greenish teeth and heavy accents. Rolf's dad is tall and lean much like his son, and has brown hair, some bristly facial hair, and also has hairy arms. He wears purple overalls over a yellow shirt, black boots, some kind of sheep-head hat, and a Yeshmiyek necklace. But Rolf most closely resembles his mom who has very long black hair, the top of which is tied into a wierd old-country style. She is barefoot, wears a black-&-white bodice with a purple skirt, a sheep-pelt apron, and a Yeshmiyek hat. Nana is an old, ugly, gray-haired, and hunch-backed woman with hair under her jaw and on her arms, a wooden leg, and she uses a walker. She wears a brown cloak over clothing similar to Rolf's mom's, but also has brown shoes and heavy earrings that weigh down her earlobes. Nano is a short old man who's partially bald with liverspots, has a long white beard that reaches the floor, has several missing teeth, and walks with a cane. He wears a red sweater, blue jeans, brown shoes, and dark glasses.
"Thank you for producing yet another fine feast, Mama!" Rolf thanks.
"It is what I do, son!" Mama replies. Then they hear panicked voices outside.
"What is this commotion that disturbs our feast?" Nano asks, irritated.
"Rolf says we investigate first-hand." Rolf suggests, and they head outside. All the other families are driving off to find Ed. Double-D and Nazz go with Erin and Tabby. Kevin goes with his dad. Jimmy, Sarah, Angela, and Stan go with Jimmy's dad James. And Eddy and Jonny go with their respective parents, leaving only Jimmy's mom Wendy, Nazz's aunt Marian, and Double-D's parents who just stepped out of their house.
"What happened, fearful mother Wendy?" Papa asks.
"Angela's son Ed went off to the North Pole to bring Santa here." Wendy answers in a worried tone as Paul, Jenna and Zoe arrive, attracted by the commotion. Jenna and Zoe are accompanied by their parents. Jenna's parents are wearing black coats. Jenna herself is wearing a pink coat with her fur hood up. Paul has his regular blue hoodie. Zoe has a green coat with magenta gloves and earmuffs.
"Ed went to the North Pole?... For what, again?" Jenna asks.
"...... Who is this Santa Claus you speak of?" Nana asks.
"The North Pole? But that's highly implausible due to a multitude of factors-" Morgan is stopped by Phoebe's elbow.
"I always knew Armpit was nuts, but this..." Paul is in disbelief. Then everyone returns from their search, without success.
"We couldn't find him." Erin worries, and Jimmy adds "We followed the trail he left behind, but it was obscured by other cars."
"My Edwin..." Angela starts to cry on the ground. "I barely paid attention to him until three years ago, and... and... "WAAAAAAHHH!!! WHAT KIND OF MOM AM I?!! I STILL GOT SO MUCH BONDING TIME TO MAKE UP FOR!!! I DON'T WANT EDWIN FREEZING TO DEATH!!!"
Sarah and Stan comfort Angela while Double-D reassures "But the snowspeeder he's using is one of my prototypes, so he couldn't have gotten too far."
"We must track down the yellow Ed boy." Rolf declares, then goes to call "WILFRED!"
"Right, I will get the horses. Hanna, get the warm sheets." Papa instructs his wife (Hanna), then appoints Ed's, Eddy's, Kevin's and Zoe's dads: "Stan the Sloth and Roger the Titan, ready the wagons. Peter the Valiant (Kevin's dad) and Thomas the Wildhearted, you shall aid in spotting the Ed boy."
"Wait, Mr. Vorlik. We want to come, too." Double-D tells Papa, who is further persuaded by Jonny's dad Phil: "They're his friends, Noah. It's only right."
"Very well. Come along, younglings." Papa lets Double-D, Eddy and the others come along.
"Eddward, don't." Phoebe worries, but Double-D tells her "I'll be fine, Mother. I promise!"
".......... Ok, but be careful." Phoebe lets Double-D join his friends, who are also persuading their folks to let them join the search for Ed. Once they're done...
'WE'RE COMIN, ED!!" Eddy shouts.
To Be Continued...
Whew, this is definitely gonna be one of the longer episodes. I'll try to have part 2 up as fast as possible so as not to be late.
