[Principal Clark] It's the
day before winter break.

Nobody expects you
to learn anything.

All you gotta do is
watch a holiday special

and eat snacks till 3:00 p.m.

But somehow, some way, on this
blow-off day of all blow-off days

you get sent to the
principal's office.

It wasn't my fault.

It's-It's like I told Mr. Bonner.
I don't know how it happened.

- [students screaming]
- [alarm blaring]

Just like you didn't
know who was running

that McCallister Elementary
"pay-to-play" Little League scam.

That was a mystery.

Or who printed up fake
rewards cards for Yo-Go-Rama.

Okay, for the record, yogurt
prices are ridiculous these days.

Andy,

you are smart and charming,

and I truly believe there's nothing you
can't do if you put your mind to it.

But you keep putting your
mind to the wrong stuff.

[cries] Look, I-I
swear, Principal Clark.

I'm not a bad kid.

[blows nose]

Ah... Oh.

[Andy crying, sniffling]

Why don't you use this break
as a kind of a reset button?

We can put all of
this in the past.

But I want you to think about

the kind of kid you want
to be next semester.

Do you wanna be the
conniving, scheming con man,

or do you wanna be
something better?

I wanna be something better.

I... I can change,
Principal Clark.

[sniffs] I know I can.

- [sniffs]
- [tuts] Please. No boogers on the blazer.

[sighs]

Tears were a nice touch.

So, you get it?

Dulce, who you talking to?

[crying] I... I can change,
Principal Clark. I know I can.

Please, no boogers
on the blazer.

The confiscation closet holds
every item ever unjustly snatched

from a student's hand.

It's the biggest job
we've ever pulled.

[exhales] And today's our
last chance to pull it.

It's the end of the semester,

which means the school's
gonna empty out the closet

and give all of our
stuff to charity.

We can't let that happen.
How much time do we have?

I'm not a bad kid.

[blows nose]

Pick-up's at 2:45.

That gives us five minutes
to pull this off. You ready?

I was born ready. [chuckles]

See you on the other side.

[movie character 1] Say,
"Thank you, Santa Claus."

- [movie character 2] Thank you.
- [Santa Claus] Bye. Merry Christmas.

Well, young lady,
what's your name?

I'm sorry, she doesn't
speak English. She's Dutch.

She's just come over.

Shouldn't you be in class?

Uh... [chuckles]

She's been living in an orphan's
home in Rotterdam ever since...

Well, we've adopted her.

It's the day before
winter break.

Nobody expects you to learn anything.
All you gotta do is watch a...

[students groaning, shouting]

This is Principal. I want you to
blow off the day before 3:00 p.m.

See you next semester.

[students cheering]

Uh... Hey, what
are you all doing?

Whoo-hoo! [laughs]

Do not make me call your parents
over this break! Get back here!

[laughs] I can't believe we
actually pulled this off.

[Principal Clark] Hey!

- What are you doing with that cart?
- Nothing.

Andy, we just talked about this.

- And now I catch you with...
- No, Principal Clark. Don't...

[Principal Clark,
Dulce] Cookies?

I mean, I knew they were there.

I... It was a surprise
for you and the staff.

You guys work so hard. I just
wanted to show our appreciation.

Well, that's very nice of you, Andy.
I'll make sure the staff gets them.

- Merry Christmas.
- Merry Christmas.

[grunts, laughs]

- Where did you... How did you...
- [chuckles]

I can't believe we
actually pulled this off.

But what about the stuff?
How are we gonna get it out?

[Andy] The janitor's
gonna carry it out for us.

Andy, what do we have for Lewis?

Please tell me it's
my dad's drone.

I wasn't supposed to
take it, but I took it.

And then Mrs. Noober
saw it and she took it.

Hurry it up, son. Some
of us got places to be.

- Albert, chill. You'll get your turn.
- Don't tell me to chill. I invented chill.

Bam.

[sighing]

You saved my butt big time.

If my dad found out about this,
I'd get in so much trouble.

We're talking Naughty
List for sure.

Did you know the government
pays the Internet

to block the location of
Santa's village... [shouts]

Andy, you got a slingshot
in there for me, my man?

No money, no slingshot, my man.

Five bucks.

But I don't have this
many bucks. [sniffs]

[Andy] Sweet Lord.

Have you ever seen a
face that adorable?

I... It's breaking my heart. Just
give it to him. Give it to him.

[chuckles] Here you
go. One slingshot.

Thanks a lot, suckers.

Deuces! [laughing]

Hey, hey! You owe us!

[Dulce] I can't believe you
just blew your cut of the money

on a game for a console
you don't even have.

Your parents are
never gonna buy it.

[chuckles] It's too expensive.

Which is why I sent Santa a
letter last week asking for it.

Backup plan. I like it.

I mailed the big guy
back in November.

Santa's my only chance of
getting an archery set.

My parents think
it's too dangerous.

- [laughs] It is too dangerous.
- That's why I want it.

I gotta admit that cookie
move was a stroke of genius.

If Clark had busted us
for taking that stuff,

we would've been
in so much trouble.

We didn't take that stuff.

We took it back.

We returned those lost
treasures to their owners.

We did a good
thing today, Dulce.

Heck yeah, we did.

Merry Christmas, Dulce!

Merry Christmas,
Andy. [chuckles]

- [people shouting]
- [lock clicking]

[doorbell rings]

Hey! Door's locked. Let me in.

[people laughing, chattering]

[knocking]

So, Andy, how was school today?

Anything exciting happen?

Uh, school was fine, Laurel.

Really? 'Cause Stacy Wilcox told
me that Jessica Chen told her

that Mateo Garcia's
little sister said

that you got sent to
the principal's office.

- You got sent to the principal?
- Again? Is that true?

[stammers, sighs]

Well, yes. It's... It's true.

Principal Clark was having
trouble with her Wi-Fi

and all the other kids
wanted to watch a movie.

So, I volunteered to help her.

Andy,

you are so thoughtful.

- [Andy] Aw.
- [chuckles]

What? You don't actually
believe this, do you?

Well, he is the one who always
fixes the Wi-Fi around here.

- [grunts]
- Who wants brussels sprouts?

You know I do. Can't get
enough of those veggies.

[sighs]

Hey, Andy.

Did you know if someone looks up
and towards the right while talking,

there's an 80%
chance they're lying?

Well, that's a fascinating
factoid, Laurel.

- Hmm.
- You know, I heard that if someone wastes

their first night of winter break
reading a book about how to spot liars,

there's a 100% chance
they're a loser.

Listen, I know what you tried
to do at dinner tonight,

and I respect it.

But you will never,
ever beat me.

I'm too smooth,

too smart.

I'll always be one step ahead.

You may have Mom and
Dad fooled, but not me.

Just 'cause you don't get caught

- doesn't mean you don't do bad things.
- Agree to disagree.

One of these days you're
gonna push it too far.

Your lies and schemes,
they'll blow up in your face.

And I'll be there.

And I will laugh so hard.

Well, you're gonna have to wait
a long time. Maybe forever.

Do you know what I
would do if I were you?

Is just go on living my life

- like it's not gonna happen...
- [groans]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[Andy's mom] A flying
reindeer? [laughs]

[Andy's dad] That's
what he said.

The last thing we need
is for it to get out

that a World Express pilot thinks
a flying reindeer clipped his wing.

It sounds like Bruno's been flying
that northern route too long.

[chuckles] Crazy thing is,

the dent in the plane did
look like hoof prints.

Christmas!

Everybody up! It's
Christmas, people!

[yawns]

[rattles]

Tiny Blox.

[rattles]

Tiny Blox.

[rattles]

Tiny Blox. Was there a sale
on Tiny Blox or something?

[grunting, sighing]

- Where's the good stuff? [sighs]
- [train whistle blows]

No way. [gasps]

This is the leotard for the
state gymnastics team. [chuckles]

I thought we were waiting for
her to actually make the team

before we got her one.

I didn't get it for her.

Maybe your mother got it.

W-What does the tag
say, sweetheart?

Um...

"To Laurel from Santa."

Thanks, "Santa."

There's nothing here.

Why-Why didn't Santa
bring me anything?

Maybe because he doesn't
bring gifts to naughty kids.

Your brother is not naughty.

Really? Then why didn't
"Santa" get him anything?

- Who wants pancakes?
- I'll help.

Why would your mother buy something
for Laurel but not for Andy?

We don't know this
was my mother.

Remember when I said this was gonna
catch up with you and I was gonna laugh?

Well, this is me laughing.

[laughing]

Santa.

Look what I got.

It's exactly what I wanted.

That's so cool. Go show Dad.

- Dad, look.
- Let me see.

- Let's see what else Santa brought.
- Yeah, go sit down.

- [sibling] Santa got my wish.
- [phone rings]

[sibling] This looks so cool!

- You're not gonna believe this.
- Santa stiffed you?

Santa stiffed me.

Wait, you too?

No bow, no arrows. Nothing.

I always get a gift from him.

Why not this year?

Unless...

[both] The Naughty List.

You came to the right
place, my friends.

Everybody thinks Christmas time is about
peace on Earth and good will toward men.

But it's actually
about mind control.

Mind control?

Just as every culture has
their version of Santa Claus,

they also have a myth created
to scare kids into behaving.

In Germany it's Krampus,
and in Italy it's Le Befana.

In Japan it's Santa Kuroshu.

But they're all different
forms of the same thing.

- The Naughty List.
- So the Naughty List is just a myth?

That's what I thought
until I looked deeper.

Got this bad boy from Santa.

Two terabyte hard drive,
one terabyte of RAM.

Sixty-four core CR-990 CPU...

- Uh... Okay, Lewis.
- Right.

Check this out.

Ooh.

Yeah, I don't know what
I'm looking at here.

It's an algorithm I wrote.

It crawls the web, searching message
boards, social media, videos...

any place a kid can complain about
not getting anything from Santa.

This is the Naughty List.

Huh. Look at 'em all.

I... There must be thousands.

[Lewis] Over a million.

At least that's how
many I've found so far.

S... This is wrong.

Uh. No, it's correct. At least
within a margin of error...

No, I'm not talking
about your algorithm.

I'm-I'm talking about
the Naughty List.

I'm talking about stiffing
kids at Christmas.

Since when does Santa Claus get to decide
who deserves presents and who doesn't?

Since always. Hello?

"He knows you're sleeping.
He knows you're awake."

Lewis.

I-If Santa didn't deliver
our gifts, where are they?

If they never left his workshop,
then they must still be there.

[chuckles]

Wait, are you thinking what
I think you're thinking?

They're all just sitting there.

Everything we wanted.

You were thinking what I
thought you were thinking.

Andy, this isn't like sneaking
into the confiscation closet.

But it is.

The idea is exactly the same
except the payoff is way bigger.

Dulce, Santa took
Christmas from us.

Let's take it back.

Even if there was a warehouse full
of undelivered Christmas presents,

i-it's not like we
know where it is.

I know where it is.

Before I tell you, you have
to promise to take me with.

I-I don't know.

Lewis, you're not even
on the Naughty List.

- You wanna be a part of a job like this?
- Absolutely.

I spent three years searching
for proof of Santa's village.

I have to see it for myself.

If you show us where the presents
are, I promise I'll take you.

I've been monitoring
this spot 24-7.

And the only time it ever changes is
December 24th at 11:59 and 59 seconds.

That's when this happens.

- What was that?
- That is Santa's village.

[both] No way!

Wait. Lewis, can you filter
the Naughty List by location?

Uh, of course. Why?

Because if we're gonna
sneak into the North Pole,

it's gonna take the best
team I've ever assembled.

In addition to us, we need a
gymnast, an adorable innocent,

an animal whisperer, a master
of disguise, and a pilot.

That's eight. Who's the ninth?

The getaway driver.

Who are you thinking?

Her.

[announcer] On your
marks. Get set.

- Go!
- [air horn blares]

It's too steep!

[crowd cheers]

[screams, grunts]

Stop.

[groans] She's
gonna get chewed up!

[Andy] Keep watching.

- [construction worker] Oh, no. [screams]
- Stop! Stop! No!

[racer screams]

[screams, laughs]

[Lewis] Oh!

[groans, grunts]

My bad!

[shivers] How long do
we have to sit here?

It's freezing out.

You think this is cold?

You know we're going
to the North Pole?

- [passerby] Whoa.
- Here we go.

[groans]

Whoa.

- [coach driver groans, sniffles]
- Uh-huh.

[coach driver mutters]

Lunchtime. [muttering]

- Hey there, horsey.
- [blusters]

You don't like pulling
this dumb thing, do you?

[horse nickers]

Did that horse just answer her?

[both shush]

[horse blusters]

[grunts]

[grunts]

- When I say "run," you run.
- [horse nickers]

- Got it?
- [horse nickers]

[horse blusters]

- Run!
- Hey! My sandwich!

Hey, that's my lunch!

[horse whinnies]

My horse!

- Peaches! Get back here!
- [groans]

Mmm. Egg salad.

[coach] All right, Laurel.

Just like we practiced.

You got this.

[breathes shakily]

Hmm.

[breathes shakily]

[coach] Any time.

- [grunts]
- [coach] Nice. Okay.

Keep it nice and tucked.

[breathing shakily]

[grunts]

- [gymnast 1 chuckles]
- [gymnast 2] Oh, man.

You'll get it next time, Laurel.

Nice dismount.

- I'll get it next time.
- Make sure you get a video.

I won't be there to see it
'cause I'll be at the state meet.

[coach] All right,
Bethany, you're up.

What are you doing here?

Relax. We're not here for you.

I'm here for her.

[Andy chuckles]

- Wow!
- Oh, my gosh.

[applause]

- [crowd cheering]
- That's our gymnast, all right.

Wow, this is amazing work.

You designed this
all by yourself?

What's the sign say?

"Jon Anthony Originals."

- What's my name?
- Jon Anthony.

- What's that make this?
- Original?

- You better believe it.
- Wow.

- Now you want it or not?
- Yeah.

He made these things?

Yeah.

- Kid's got skills.
- Huh.

I don't know.

I told that hottie over there
I'd sell it to him for 200.

But if you throw cash down
right now, I'll do 150.

Deal.

- Nice doing business with ya.
- You too, kid.

I can't believe we're wasting
a day of winter break on this.

Basements are a great
place to find rats.

I hate everything you just said.

[sighs] I still don't
get why Albert is here.

Hey, I was gonna eat that!

You snooze, you lose.

But I really, really wanted it.

Aw. D-Don't do that.

Y-You take the cookie.
I don't even want it.

Thanks, sucker.

That answer your question?

- Bethany, what are you doing here?
- I came for help with my bar routine.

- Seriously?
- Ew, no.

- Your brother invited me.
- Hmm.

Right this way, Bethany.

We're all gathered
in the basement.

- What are you up to?
- Up to?

Laurel, my dear sister, when
have I ever been up to something?

[groans]

[Albert] Hey, Andy,

why are we kicking it in your basement
with stale cookies and a bunch of weirdos?

Every person in this room
has one thing in common.

- A tragic sense of style?
- What?

- No, we all got stiffed by Santa.
- Oh.

What if I told you that
if we all work together,

we could still make our
Christmas wishes come true?

How?

We're gonna rob the North Pole.

Who's with me?

[kids laugh]

I'm out of here. Can I
borrow someone's phone?

I need to call my babysitter.

- [Ha-Yoon] I gotta call someone too.
- W-Wait.

Every person in this room wrote a
letter or waited in line in some mall

just to ask Santa for the very thing
they wanted most in the whole world.

And this year,

every one of us looked under that tree
and found nothing from Santa Claus.

If you're okay with
that, then leave.

But I'm not.

Show them what you got.

That's a pant-load of Tiny Blox.

There was a huge sale
before Christmas.

- I knew it.
- Andy, the plan.

Uh, right.

Thanks to Lewis,

we know all of our presents are
being held up in a vault here.

Santa's workshop.

It was nothing really,

just some rudimentary
magnetic resonance imaging

which allowed me to map
the substructure of...

We're all very impressed.
Now, stop talking.

If we're gonna have a snowball's chance
in Florida of getting into that vault,

we all have to work together.

As far as we know, no human has
ever infiltrated Santa's village.

So getting past the
guards will be no joke.

Once we're inside, we have to
blend in with the other elves.

Jon Anthony, you're
on disguise duty.

No problem.

Send me what the other elves
are wearing and I'll make it.

That's just it. We don't know
exactly what they'll wear.

Can you make something up?

[inhales] Of course, I
can. I'm Jon Anthony.

He's Jon Anthony.

Every inch of the village will
be covered in surveillance.

If we don't shut down the cameras
by the time we get to that vault,

we'll be busted faster than a kid
shaking presents on Christmas Eve.

What about me? What
am I doing here?

The entrance to the vault
is across an ice chasm.

We need someone with
serious aerial skills

to flip to the other side
and raise the bridge.

Luckily,

we have one of the best 4A
gymnasts in Massachusetts.

I think you mean "the best."

Of course, getting our stuff
is only half the battle.

Our getaway driver has
to get us and the loot

down the mountain before
anybody realizes we're there.

[Ha-Yoon] How do you know?

[Dulce] Lewis has been studying
the North Pole for years.

[sighs] Look, I'm
gonna level with you.

This is the most complicated
heist I've ever planned.

It's gonna be tough.

It's gonna be risky.

If we get caught, we could
end up grounded for life.

But if we pull this off,

it'll be the best
Christmas we never had.

Who's with me?

I'm in.

Me too.

Fine.

Hmm. Sure. I've got
nothing better to do.

- Bethany?
- [Bethany] Whatever.

I already told everybody
I was getting a new phone.

Can't go back to school in
January without it, can I?

- [all cheering] Yes! Whoo! Let's go!
- Yeah.

[Laurel] You're not listening!

I'm telling you,
he's up to something!

Laurel, why do you always think
your brother's doing something bad?

Because he is.

He's in the basement right
now cooking up some scheme.

Just go look, will you?

Fine.

Yes!

Hey, Mom, Laurel.

Uh, you wanna join
our recycling club?

[chuckling] Recycling
club? Are you kidding me?

Yeah, we're using
the money we raise

to put a new table in the
cafeteria for kids with no friends.

And I'm dedicating
it to Mom and Dad,

who nourish me with love.

Aw.

You are not buying this!

- My sweet boy.
- Mom. [grunts]

Bye.

[sighs]

- [Andy sighs]
- That was close.

[Andy] All right.
Back to business.

We meet at the bus stop
first thing Friday morning.

We're gonna be gone overnight,
so we're gonna need alibis.

The person in your folder

is who you're having a
sleepover with Friday night.

At least, that's what
you'll tell your parents.

Give them the phone number
listed at the bottom.

That number will call my phone.

I'll pretend to be a parent.

She's a master of the Mom Voice.

No way that's gonna work.

Bethany Ann, don't you
dare give me that attitude.

I work too stinkin' hard
for too stinkin' long

to come home to this malarkey.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

I mean, that could work.

What about you? Who are
your parents gonna call?

I'm one of five kids.

No one will even
notice I'm gone.

Read your alibi.
Memorize it, then...

- Swallow it.
- What?

No.

Just, like, flush it down
the toilet or something.

Just don't let your
parents find it.

Uh. Yes, Rose?

I've never had a
sleepover before

because most of my friends
sleep in wood chips,

because they're rodents.

My parents are gonna
know something's up.

[Andy] How about this?

Tell them you're spending the
night at an animal shelter

'cause there's a
dog with a hurt paw.

Oh, is it gonna be okay?

What? No, there's no dog.

It's just a story to tell them.

Oh, that's a good story.

[stammers] They'll
totally believe it.

I believed it. [chuckles]

- [Rose] Bye!
- [Andy] Bye!

[Ha-Yoon] See you tomorrow.

Bye!

- [Jon Anthony] Can't wait to rob Santa.
- [Lewis] Keep it down.

I can't believe none of them asked
how we're getting to the North Pole.

[chuckles] Yeah.

Wait. How are we getting
to the North Pole?

I was pretty surprised when you said you
wanted to come to work with me today.

[Andy] Oh, are you kidding?

I've been dying to see

what a "Manager of Cargo
Operations and Distribution" does.

Okay, fine. [chuckles]

I just wanted to get away
from Laurel. She's the worst.

You know, when I was your age,

I used to fight with your
uncle Dave all the time.

But if I'm being honest,

I think I tried to drive him crazy
because I wanted him to like me.

I looked up to him.

That's a great story, Dad.

Hmm.

I'm not sure how it applies to me,
but I really enjoyed hearing it.

[sighs]

[scanner beeps]

Hey, Dad. I gotta
go to the bathroom.

Oh, there's one right
through that door.

Cool. [grunts] Might take me a
while. Gotta make a two-sies.

Okay. Didn't need to know that.

[beeps]

[pilot snoring]

[grunts]

- [thuds]
- [grunts]

- You Bruno?
- How'd you get back here?

I wanna know more about that
flying reindeer you saw.

[shushes] Don't talk about that.

They already think
I'm losing it,

and they're not gonna let me fly again
until I pass a psychological evaluation.

What if I told you I could get you
proof that what you saw was real?

I'm listening.

[beeping]

We've got our pilot.

We've got a problem.
Bethany backed out.

What?

She whined until her parents
bought her the phone she wanted.

- Can we pull this off without a gymnast?
- No way.

We're just gonna have
to find another one.

- I know somebody.
- Who?

Where do they live?

Down the hall from you.

No, I'm not asking her.
She'll never do it.

You have to try.

[sighs]

- Get out.
- No, it's true, Laurel. I swear.

I got a pilot from Dad's work
to fly us up to the North Pole.

But our entire plan is in danger
because Bethany dropped out.

You expect me to believe that Bethany
was going to help you with this?

She was, but she
backed out because...

because she was scared
she couldn't pull it off.

Bethany isn't
scared of anything.

She is of this.

But I told her it was okay because I
could go to the best gymnast I know. You.

And of course, Bethany
was like, "Laurel?

She does not have the skills
necessary for this job."

Doesn't have the skills? I
am ten times better than her.

I've just been a little
off lately. That's all.

That's what I told her.

I was like, "Laurel can
do this and when she does,

you're gonna know that she stepped
up when you chickened out."

[Laurel] Fine. I'll help.

- Really?
- But not for you.

I'm going so I can rub
it in Bethany's face.

No, no, I'm okay with
Laurel sleeping over.

It's just, I didn't think the girls
really, you know, liked each other.

[Dulce] Oh, you
know girls, Linda.

We were that age once. Tweens.
Not quite teens, not quite weens.

Weens?

[Dulce] Oh, I better go. My...

My husband is messing something up
again. Argh. Husbands, am I right?

Yeah. [chuckles]

Thanks, Mom. [chuckles]

When did you and Bethany
start getting along?

Uh, uh... [chuckles]

Oh, um, they, uh... They
patched things up. Yeah.

I really have to give Laurel
credit. She was the bigger person.

We could all learn a
thing or two from her.

[chuckles]

Aw. Have fun, honey.

[chuckles]

- [whispers] You're frightening.
- [whispers] Thank you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? You're
gonna get me busted.

Sorry, I got caught
up in the moment.

All right, just follow
me and stay quiet.

[engine starts]

[sighs]

How those disguises coming?

Almost done.

All right, good 'cause, um, you know,
I haven't seen the whole outfit yet.

Andy, you're cute, but you're
in my space. Let me work.

Right, yeah. Okay, no problem.

Stupid antique clasps.

I can't believe I'm saying this,
but next time I'm going Velcro.

Everything okay?

[sighs] Can you keep a secret?

[snorts] Does a horned lizard squirt
blood from its eyelids when threatened?

I don't know.

The answer is, yes it does.
[chuckles] And... And, yes, I can.

[inhales] Okay. I have
no idea what I'm doing.

I've never actually
designed anything myself.

My Jon Anthony Originals?

All copies.

I'm a fake. A fraud.

I don't know what elves
wear, I just made this up.

Isn't that what an original is?

You don't understand anything.

[sighs] Try this on.

Man, I can't wait to get my
hands on that archery set.

[chuckles] I gotta be honest, I have mixed
feelings about helping you get this bow.

Your dads are gonna be furious.

At least they'll be something.

I asked for bounce shoes.

I'm gonna be like a
kangaroo on cold brew.

[all chuckle]

Santa was supposed to
bring me a drum set.

I wanted an albino boa
constrictor. [chuckles]

Get back in there.

What about you, Laurel?
What didn't Santa bring you?

She got everything she wanted.
Laurel's not on the Naughty List.

- Lucky.
- It's not luck. I just follow the rules.

What if the rules are unfair?

They're rules, Andy. You follow them
because it's the right thing to do.

I like doing the right
thing. It makes me feel good.

But sometimes the rule's just there to
keep you from getting what you want.

I mean, you're breaking a rule
right now just by coming with us.

Doesn't feel so bad, does it?

Uh...

- [gasps]
- [Lewis] Wow! Wow!

- I think that looks perfect.
- Yeah.

[chuckles]

What do you think?

Somebody say something.

If I were an elf, I'd wear that.

[all chuckle]

I'm not an elf
and I'd wear that.

[chuckles] Shut up.

Keep your hats on at all times.

If anybody sees we don't have
pointy elf ears, we're busted.

[Bruno] Whoa! Guys, get up here.
You're gonna wanna see this!

- [gasps] Wow!
- Wow! Look at that!

- The northern lights!
- [Rose gasps, chuckles]

[all cheering] Oh. Wow.

[Laurel] Look at
all those colors!

- Wow.
- [Rose] It's amazing.

[Laurel] It's so pretty.

- Wow.
- Oh, goodness.

It's beautiful.

- [all cheering] Wow.
- It's so beautiful.

[tower on radio] Unidentified aircraft,
you have entered restricted airspace.

- Turn back immediately.
- What do I do?

Uh, tell them you're having
mechanical problems. You need to land.

North Pole Tower. This is
World Express 4-0-niner.

I'm having a bit of a situation.
My plane is very sick.

- What?
- Sick? Sick?

[tower] Uh, please repeat. Did
you say your plane is very sick?

- What are you doing?
- I'm a terrible liar.

Let me handle this. [grunting]

- [breathes shakily]
- What are you doing?

We're gonna need to
land immediately.

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

It's... It's okay.

- It's gonna be okay! It's gonna be fine!
- [all screaming]

Come on, just hold on!
We're gonna be fine!

[all clamoring, screaming]

[Bruno] Hey there.

Anybody else on
the plane with you?

Uh, just me. Nobody else.

Well, unless you count the packages,
then it's me and the packages.

But if not, then it's just me.

[gasps]

[grunts]

Looks like I found what's
wrong with your plane.

[radio chatter]

Huh.

Shouldn't take more than
a couple of hours to fix.

Great, thanks. [breathes deeply]

Okay. Come on, guys.

[Dulce breathes heavily] I
thought we were busted for sure.

- [Andy] That was close.
- [Laurel] Let's not do that again.

You heard them. We only have two
hours to bust into Santa's village,

get the presents and
get back to the plane.

Then what are we waiting for?

Set a timer.

Two hours.

On my mark. Go.

[timers beeping]

[timer beeping]

[kids panting, groaning]

The entrance to Santa's village should
be just on the other side of these woods.

I can't believe
I'm actually here.

Do you think Santa will
take a selfie with me?

Okay, no one is meeting Santa.

The whole point is to get in and
get out without meeting anyone.

- Check it out. [chuckles]
- [Andy] Whoa.

Holy night!

- Wow.
- [chuckles]

It's real.

[chuckles] Wait, you
came all the way up here

and you didn't believe
any of this was real?

Why would you do that?

So I could say I told you so
when it wasn't. [chuckles]

[chuckles]

Wow.

[kids cheering, laughing]

Whoa!

[all laughing]

[chuckling]

[beeping]

Albert, you're up.

Hit us on the walkie if you see
anything out of the ordinary.

Mm-hmm.

[sighs]

If I see anything
out of the ordinary.

I'm at the North Pole about
to break into Santa's village.

This whole situation
is out of the ordinary.

[Christmas music playing]

[Albert crying]

For the love of
Santa, what is that?

[crying]

- [crying]
- [gasps]

It's a kid. Like a human kid.

What are you doing all the
way up here, little fella?

I was with my mommy. And
now I'm lost. [crying]

- Just calm down. I gotta call this in.
- [radio beeps]

[crying]

Oh, okay, okay. I... I
can call this in later.

Hey, let's get you inside
and warmed up, huh?

[crying]

Get some cookies in
that tum-tum of yours?

[cries] Mm-hmm.
And cocoa? [cries]

Yeah, this is the North Pole. Cocoa
comes out of our tap here. [chuckles]

Watch your stepping.

Lewis, time to cut off those
cameras. You've one hour.

I'm on it. Good luck, Andy.

[Andy chuckles]

Ha-Yoon, Rose, find the reindeer
stables and secure a getaway sleigh.

That's what I'm here for.

I've always wanted to
talk to a reindeer.

[Andy chuckles]

And what about us?

We get to the workshop as quick as
possible without anybody seeing us.

[all gasping, chuckling]

- [Laurel chuckles] Oh, my gosh.
- Whoa.

Geez.

[chuckles]

[Jon Anthony grunts]

[Dulce] Oh, why is
this place so quiet?

It's right after Christmas.
Maybe they're all resting.

This is perfect. No one
will even know we're here.

So I made these outfits
for nothing? [sighs]

We just have to cut through this,
and the workshop won't be far.

all you gotta do is gymnastics
yourself across the chasm

and pull that lever to
raise the drawbridge.

What if I can't do it?

You can.

You saw me at the gym. I
can't even stick my dismount.

[stutters] Andy, there's no way.

This-This was a huge mistake.

[sighs]

[beeping]

It's okay.

We'll find another way.

Another way?

You told us this
was the only way in.

Now there's suddenly
another way?

Why didn't we just take
that way to begin with?

I-I'm sorry.

- [sighs]
- [Andy] It's okay.

For the record though,

I know you could have m-made it.

[scoffs] How could
you know that?

Laurel, the only reason you
don't stick your landing

is because you let
Bethany get in your head.

You think she's better
than you, but she's not.

You're good at everything
you put your mind to.

Grades, art, gymnastics.

It's one of your best and

to get into this vault.

I'm thinking. I didn't know
there'd be a trick to it.

It's a vault. There's
always a trick to it.

[all clamoring]
Come on. Step on it!

[Laurel] Almost there!

- [screaming]
- Come on! We're so close!

[Jon Anthony] Start, Dulce!

I can do this thing.

[grunting]

- Yes! I did it!
- [Andy] Yeah, Albert! Go! Go! Go!

[Dulce] Come on, Albert.
Give me your hand.

Can we jump a little faster?

- Yeah!
- Come on! Come on!

[Dulce] Come on, Jon Anthony!

Come on, kids! Hurry up!

Your turn, Andy.

- Come on!
- Come on.

- What are you doing?
- You go.

I'll throw the stuff,
and then I'll follow.

But... Wh...

This heist was my idea.

I go last.

[grunts]

[Laurel] Come on, Andy!

- Andy, come on!
- [Lewis] Now or never!

- Andy!
- [Ha-Yoon] Andy, let's go!

- [Lewis] Come on!
- [Laurel] Andy, jump now!

[Rose, Laurel] Andy!

- Andy, no!
- Andy, what?

- No! What are you doing?
- No!

What is Andy doing?

- [alarm blaring]
- [pants]

[grunting, shouting]

[panting]

[siren wailing]

What is even going on right now?

We were out of there.

Why would your brother
do us like that?

I don't know, but we can't
just leave him there.

I mean, we have to go back.

I'm wild, but I'm not that wild.

I-If we go back,
we're busted for sure.

[Ha-Yoon sighs]

It just doesn't make sense.

This was his plan.

Why would he bail
at the last second?

Who cares why he did it?
I'm not leaving him behind.

But he betrayed us, Dulce.

You're not even gonna
get your bow now.

- It was never about the bow.
- It wasn't?

I'm the middle child in
a house full of twins.

Everybody has a person but me.

Andy's my person.

If he wants to play video
games, I'll play video games.

If... [laughs] ...he wants to take down
the North Pole, I'll do that. [chuckles]

He is my best friend,
and I'm not leaving him.

Said you wanted
to see Santa, eh?

- Well, there he is.
- [grunts]

[Santa Claus] Andy Steele.

- Why am I not surprised?
- Whoa.

It's really you.

The others got away, Santa.

But at least we got this one.

I know this looks
bad, and it is bad.

I guess it's kind of
what it looks like.

But it's okay now because
I brought everything back.

So we're good, right?

Me and you?

Santa?

We good?

No, no, no, you can't
punish my friends.

Look, this was all my idea.

You can put me on the Naughty
List for the rest of my life,

but please leave them out of it.

Is that what you really want?

I mean,

no.

But it's what I deserve.

[letter board clacking]

W-What are you doing? Why
is my sister still on it?

Something's missing.

The phone.

The phone?

Santa, it's not her fault.

She's a good person.

You saw Santa.

Time to go.

[grunts]

[breathes heavily]

I-I swear, I'll-I'll fix
this. I'll-I'll get the phone.

I don't... I don't care
about this stuff anymore.

You can keep it.

Look who I found trying
to sneak back in.

Oh, God.

[gate guard elf] Let's go!

Tell me you didn't come
back for this stuff.

We came back for you.

Hey. You weren't lost in
the woods at all, were you?

I'm eight years old.

What would I be doing up at
the North Pole all by myself?

Why did you do it?

Because of you.

[sighs] Talking you into coming
up here was a huge mistake.

I took the best person I know and
then made you naughty. Like me.

[stammers] I'm sorry, guys.

I always thought that as
long as I didn't get caught,

I wasn't doing anything wrong.

That's not true.

If we deserved these presents,

Santa would have brought them
to us in the first place.

[sighs]

I'm sorry, Santa.

I guess I got a little caught up
in all of this. [inhales deeply]

My brother is very
convincing. [titters]

Uh. Yes, he is.

- So she's off the list now, right?
- No.

But here's the thing
about the Naughty List.

You could get off the
list any time you want.

Every day, you have an opportunity
to choose who you want to be.

You don't have to
change yourself.

Just use your powers for
nice instead of naughty.

[Rose, Albert] Mm-hmm.

You think you can do that?

[Laurel, Rose, Lewis] Mm-hmm.

- [sighs]
- Andy?

I-I-I mean, I think I can.

I want to.

Just promise me you'll try.

I'll try.

[letter board clacking]

[scoffs]

I think it's time
you kids got home.

Uh, wouldn't want your
parents worried about you.

- Oh, no. They'd be so...
- No, sir.

- Uh. No, sir.
- Definitely not.

Uh. Mr. Santa, sir,

I was wondering if I
could take a selfie?

The guys at work are
being major jerks.

Eh. Of course, Bruno.

[Bruno] Thanks.

[Santa Claus laughs] Ho, ho, ho!

Well, I don't think that heist
could have gone any better.

- Are you out of your mind?
- Come on.

What? Okay. So it didn't go
exactly according to plan,

but it kind of feels like it worked
out the way it was supposed to.

Thanks for coming back for me.

You're my guy. [chuckles]

Hope you're not in
too much trouble.

[chuckles] Please. They
don't even know I was gone.

- [sighs] Dulce, where have you been?
- We've been worried sick.

- She's home.
- Huh.

I guess they did
know I was gone.

[parent] Get over here.

[chuckles]

So, am I really the
best person you know?

[sighs] I knew that was
gonna come back on me.

[chuckles] No. I mean, I've always
thought I was the best person you knew,

but it was nice to
hear it out loud.

You're the worst.

- [laughing]
- [chuckles]

Well, look who it is.

I spoke to Bethany's actual mom.

Laurel, where were you?

[stammers] I, um,

got chosen to perform
for the president.

Laurel, stop.

Oh, thank goodness.

Mom, Dad, here's the truth.

[sighs]

Me, Laurel, Dulce, and a bunch of
kids borrowed a plane from Dad's work

and flew to the North Pole so we
could sneak into Santa's vault.

[scoffs]

Laurel didn't even want to.
She hated every second of it.

Andy, that's not true.

Yeah, I didn't hate it.

It was one of the funnest
nights of my life.

I'm really glad I went.

I'm glad you went too.

- You really expect us to believe that...
- Shh.

Who cares if it's true?

They're actually getting along.

♪ Are you ready for Christmas? ♪

♪ Are you decking the halls? ♪

♪ Are you ready for Christmas? ♪

[bell ringing]

♪ It's only just begun ♪

I can't believe it's
only third period.

I said it before, and
I'll say it again:

the day before winter break?

- Longest day of the year.
- [PA system chimes]

[announcer] Andy Steele, report
to the principal's office.

- Mr. Smith would like to see you now.
- [students] Ooh. He's in trouble.

- What'd you do?
- [stammers] I didn't do anything.

I've been extra
good, like, all year.

Before you say anything, sir.

I didn't do whatever
it is you think I did.

[stammers] I know I used to have
a bit of a reputation, but...

Santa? [stammers] What
are you doing here?

Andy, I don't have much
time. I need your help.

I'm in a situation.

I need the Naughty Nine.

[exhales sharply]
