[Electric Bloom singing] ? Oh, feels like Christmas ?

Hey, Bloomies! We wanted to wish you a...

- Merry Christmas! - Feliz Navidad!

- Happy Hanukkah! - Feliz Hanukkah.

Nice! [laughs]

Okay, speaking of the holidays,

BloomThereItIs asks,

"What was your first Christmas like together?"

- Magical. - Incredible.

Traumatic.

It's a classic holiday story.

[Posey] 'Twas the week and a half before Christmas...

[Jade] And all through the school...

[Posey] Two Bloomies were planning...

[Jade] To Christmas-bomb Tule... ip.

[Posey] Close enough.

Tulip is going to be so excited

that we decorated her locker.

Totally. She's gonna be like,

"Yes! Christmas!"

'Sup?

'Sup?

What is that? Mistletoe?

Oh, what, this?

[? romantic music plays]

No, it's, uh...

arugula. Hah.

Cool. You can never have too many greens.

- Smooth. - Let me live.

Oh, she's coming.

This is gonna be so great.

Who could possibly love Christmas more than Tulip?

[? orchestral music playing, "Joy to the World"]

- [grunts] I hate Christmas! - [music stops]

Tulip. I'm sorry, did you say, "I hate Christmas"?

Or did you say, "I ate Christmas"?

Because, honestly, that would make more sense.

No, I definitely said, "I hate Christmas."

Okay. I don't know who this is,

but the real Tulip can't be far.

Let's spread out and find her.

I didn't always hate Christmas.

I used to love it.

Let me take you back to the day it all changed.

December 20th, 2018.

My age, eight.

My height, shorter.

My nightmare, about to begin.

[clapping]

My turn to sing. [laughs]

Okay.

[singing] ? Deck the halls with boughs of holly ?

? Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la ?

Your singing is gross.

Try Silent Night.

But just the silent part.

[children laugh]

? 'Tis the season to be jo... ?

[squeaks]

[laughs] Did you just squeak?

No.

[children scream]

Nice job, Squeaks.

You killed Santa.

After that, I was "Squeaks,"

the girl who chopped Santa in half.

But... it wasn't your fault.

It doesn't matter. I was an outcast.

And ever since that day,

I don't even like thinking about Christmas.

Well, it probably didn't help that we Christmas-bombed you

with Santa and lights and that confetti cannon.

- Confetti cannon? - [machine whirring]

[in slow-motion] No!

Anyway, not a big fan of Christmas.

[Electric Bloom singing] ? You and me ?

? You and I ?

? I got your back ?

? And you got mine ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go we go together ?

? It's all for one ?

? It's you and me ?

? 'Cause all we are is all we need ?

? We're in this forever ?

? Wherever we go we go together ?

Posey and I were not gonna let some kid from years ago

make Tulip hate Christmas forever.

No one should hate Christmas.

Especially Tulip. I mean, she's pure joy.

They're not wrong.

And so, we had our holiday mission.

Operation Help Tulip Love Christmas Again

Because She Deserves it and We're Her Best Friends.

We said we were gonna shorten that.

We say a lot of things.

Hey, Tules.

So, we were thinking,

what if we sign up for the annual Holiday Sing-Off

at Lacy's Department Store?

Let me get this straight.

You want me to do a Christmas thing

after I told you I hate Christmas?

Do I need to reset the scene? My height,

- shorter- - No. [nervous chuckle]

We heard you, Tules.

But maybe singing carols with your best friends

will be so magical you'll fall in love with Christmas again.

I mean, I do love singing with you guys.

And the winners, which will be us,

get a three-minute shopping spree

where you get to grab as much stuff as you can.

I mapped it out!

It's the perfect route.

We hit electronics hard, loop back around for makeup,

and on our way out, patio furniture.

And you know what they have in patio furniture?

Don't say it. Don't say it.

Garden gnomes.

[squeals] How can I say "gnome" to that?

Okay, fine. We can sign up for the contest.

[all squealing] Yes!

It'll never not be on me.

What up, little elves?

You guys told me you were interviewing to be rappers.

I didn't realize it was gift wrappers.

Yeah, we didn't either.

But we already came up with this. Check it out.

[rapping] ? It's... Lucas and The Vince and we're here to say ?

? Nothing' like wrapping for the holiday ?

? Gotta get gifts done with no delay ?

? Before Santa rolls up ?

[both] ? In his big red sleigh! ?

- Ooh, whoo! - [Lucas grunts]

Yo, sick bars.

But do you actually know how to wrap presents?

Me? No.

But this guy? Dude is fast.

He can wrap anything.

Pointy, odd-shaped, alive.

- Nothing he can't wrap. - Oh, really?

- [cutting and folding] - I'd like to see him try and wrap that-

Whoa! [laughs]

Lucas, you're good.

All right. I have to go find a gift for Jade.

It's our first Christmas together, so

I wanna get her something really special.

Well, no presh, but we wrapped the gift

that Jade got for you, and it's pretty perfect.

- What is it? - Whoa.

An elf never tells.

Let's just say, it walks the line between thoughtful and practical.

Like every time you look at it, you're gonna think

"I'm really glad I have this."

But again, no presh.

Okay, yeah. But the more you say, "No presh,"

the more I'm feeling a lot of presh.

Yeah. On second thought,

if I were you, I'd start to freak out.

[rapping] ? It's Lucas and The Vince ?

? And we're not gonna lie ?

? If you mess this up Jade's gonna- ?

Probably just, like, go home and be really upset

and maybe not call you for a while.

Happy shopping!

Meanwhile, Jade and I were moving forward with

Operation Help Tulip Love Christmas Again Because...

I'm just gonna call it Operation Christmas.

Good call.

Okay, I'm gonna go sign us up for the Holiday Sing-Off

- because I hate Christmas. - Tulip!

Because I don't hate Christmas.

I'll take it.

[both singing] ? Two Shellys walking out- ?

We get it. You sing what you're doing.

Just skip to the end.

[both singing] ? We signed up for the Sing... ?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Sing-Off.

You think you're gonna beat us.

Also, "Ew, bro. Ew. Ew, bro."

Did I miss anything?

[singing] ? That covers it ?

[both] Hey, watch it, bro.

Ah! Michelley!

Shelly. What's up, cuz?

Greetings, cousin.

You look well.

"Greetings"? "You look well"?

Okay, is LeBrock LeBroken?

And you guys are cousins?

Like Mom's side? Dad's side?

Or is it like family friends, but you call each other cousins-

Posey, you're getting tangled up in your business.

Hey, cuz, I like your shirt.

Hang on.

Hello? Oh!

It's National Diss Your Cousin Day?

Okay. I'll let her know.

I don't like your shirt.

Man, I walked right into that.

It's okay. I walk into stuff all the time.

- I don't know who you are. - Shelly Sharp.

I don't care who you are.

Whatever. My band and I need to sign up for this contest

that we've won three years in a row

and are about to win again.

Kelly! Other Kelly! Come.

Wait.

Is your band named-

[singing] ? Michelley and the Kellys ?

Yep. I thought about it, and you sing it.

Well, it's official.

We're signed up for the Sing-Off,

and I gotta admit, I'm actually feeling pretty good about it.

What up, Squeaks?

[both, echoing] Squeaks, Squeaks, Squeaks.

[squeaks]

Oh, no.

After running into Michelley, my Ghost of Christmas Past,

I didn't know if I could do the Sing-Off.

It brought up a lot of bad feelings.

But my best friends weren't ready to give up on me yet.

Tules, if we beat Michelley,

you'll finally be able to put your trauma where it belongs,

- in the past. - I don't know.

No, yeah, you're right. It's no fun just breaking out into song.

[singing] ? O, Christmas tree Christmas tree... ?

Guys, I'm really not in the mood.

Totally, totally, totally. We hear you.

[singing] ? Oh dreidel, dreidel, dreidel I made it out of clay... ?

Seriously! Guys, not now.

[all singing] ? Joy to the world... ?

You'll never beat Michelley and the Kellys with that garbagio.

They won with that song last year. So, if you do it,

you'll just look like a bunch of sad little copy-kitties.

[singing] ? Jo-jo-jo-joy joy Joy Jo-jo-joy ?

[vocalizing] ? Joy to the world ?

Why are you showing this to us?

Are you trying to help us?

That's not cool. Maybe it is.

Okay, I'm very confused right now.

Yeah, why would you help us

when you're competing in the Sing-Off too?

Because I need Michelley to lose

and I don't care who she loses to.

She makes my life miserable.

She told my whole family that I'm obsessed with frogs.

So now every gift I get, for every holiday, is frog themed.

I hate frogs!

You think that's bad?

Michelley once told everyone in music class to ignore me.

So, I started ignoring me, too.

I didn't talk to myself for weeks.

Oh, yeah?

Well, Michelley and I were both born on February 28th,

so she made me change my birthday to the 29th.

I only get to celebrate on leap years.

Legally, I'm only three years old.

Michelley ruined Christmas for me.

Michelley ruined family for me.

Tulip, I'm so sorry for what she did to you.

I'm so sorry for what she did to you.

Did they forget we were here?

I just wish someone would finally knock Michelley down a peg.

[gasps loudly]

OMG. The enemy of my enemy is

my enemy's cousin.

[gasps] OMG. I don't know what that means.

We both want Michelley to lose,

so Electric Bloom and The Two Shellys should team up

and compete in the Sing-Off together.

- [both] Girl, what? - Bro, what?

Think about it. What's better than a three-part harmony?

A five-part harmony!

Ew. Sorry, instinct.

Actually, I love this idea.

Let's join forces and give Michelley a taste of her own medicine.

Wait! So are you saying

Electric Bloom should team up with The Two Shellys?

I don't like it either, bro, but it's the only way to win.

Well, then I'm in.

[sighs] Okay. Me too.

- Me three. - [all scream]

How long have you been standing there?

Honestly? Hours.

Well, I did it.

I found the perfect gift for Jade.

A new journal for her poetry.

It's just like the one she has.

I crushed it.

I did crush it, right, guys?

Like, compared to what she got me?

Honestly, I forgot what she got you.

Ooh, she's coming. Lucas, do you think you could

- wrap this super quick? - Got it.

- Hey. - Hey. What are you doing here?

I was inside doing a dry run 'cause we're totally

winning the Sing-Off shopping spree.

Can you push the cart while we spree?

'Cause if I go like this, I could get both sides of the aisle at the same time.

She's a keeper.

Here you go, man.

What's that?

This?

It's just a Christmas gift for this girl I kinda like.

Oh. She sounds perfect

and amazing and really cool. [laughs]

It's me, right?

Yeah, but you forgot beautiful.

Aw.

I'll open it on Nochebuena.

It's a Christmas Eve tradition.

Thanks, D.

Let's see Santa top that!

Uh, he might be able to.

Dude, not cool.

We modern bros support each other.

No, I mean, look.

The journal I bought for her?

- Dude! - I'm sorry.

Just- I had so many gifts to wrap, and I...

I was moving fast and Jade was doing that arm flapping thing.

If that's the journal, then what did I give Jade?

Well, the only other thing I wrapped that size was a book.

Okay. Yeah. Books are cool.

It's called How to Ghost Your Girl.

What?

Ghosting means ignoring someone you're dating.

- So, in the future- - I know what ghosting means.

I just don't want to do that to Jade.

Then why'd you give her that book?

Okay. If we're gonna perform together,

we need a name for the five of us as a group.

How about The Two Shellys?

Um...

Hello?

[groans] Okay, fine.

"The Two Shellys and Some Other Girls, But Like Who Cares?"

Um, us. We care.

Whatever. Next on the agenda. What to sing.

We were thinking a medley starting like this.

[singing] ? We wish you a merry Christmas ?

? We wish you a merry Christmas ?

? We wish you a merry Christmas ?

? And a Happy New Year ?

Well, we want to do something like this.

[singing] ? Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh ?

? O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way ?

? Ha, ha, ha, deck the halls with boughs of holly ?

[all singing] ? Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la ?

? 'Tis the season to be jolly ?

? Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la ?

? La, la, la ?

? Oh Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah Come light the menorah ?

? Let's have a party We'll all dance the hora ?

? Eight maids a-milking Seven swans a-swimming ?

? Six geese a-laying Five golden rings ?

? Four calling birds Three French hens ?

? Two turtle doves and A partridge in a pear tree ?

? Jingle bells, jingle bells ?

? Jingle all the way ?

? Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open ?

[vocalizing] ? Sleigh ?

Whoa, what just happened?

We weren't just good.

We were like we-could-work- for-Santa good. [laughs]

We're gonna beat Michelley.

Yeah, we are! Prepare yourself, Christmas, because here comes

The Two Shellys and Some Other Girls, But Like Who Cares?

[all singing] ? One-horse open ?

[vocalizing] ? Sleigh ?

Who would have thought? Electric Bloom

and The Two Shellys making music together.

We're like if Drake and Kendrick got over their beef.

Paul Drake and John Kendrick in 11th grade.

They do not like each other.

Hey, you don't go to this school.

So, you must be the smart one.

Really?

Did someone tell you that?

Why are you here?

- Family stuff. - [gasps]

No one died. Just come over here.

What are they talking about? We need to know what they're saying.

Don't worry, I got this.

I'm an expert at reading lips.

I saw in your stories that you five teamed up.

- You watch my stories? - In like an ironic way.

She's saying something about her eyelash.

The five-part harmony is intriguing.

I want a piece of that.

Now she's saying she wants a pizza cat.

So, what do you say?

You wanna ditch them and join us this one time?

I'll even let you have your birthday back.

- [gasps] - You can finally turn four.

I think she's saying dogs eating car seats on the moon.

Yes, dogs eating car seats on the moon.

Like I said, if we team up, it would be crazier

than dogs eating car seats on the moon.

So, what do you think, cuz?

[sighs] Okay, cuz. We're in. But I get to tell everyone.

Deal.

- Family- - Family announcement.

We made up and we're forming a new group.

- [all] What? - I said-

Family announcement, we made up and we're forming a new group.

Kellys, take positions.

Shelly!

Introducing, Michelley and the Four Kellys.

We go by Kelly now.

We go by Kelly now.

Oh, and that holiday mash-up we all came up with for the Sing-Off,

- we're taking it. - What?

- No way. - You can't do that.

Ring, ring. Oh!

Look who's calling, it's... yes, we can.

And since we won last year, we get to perform first.

Which means that if you try to steal our medley,

you'll just look like tragic medley stealers.

Right, Kellys?

I snap now.

Bye-bye, Squeaks.

[laughs haughtily]

[squeaks]

No! I was just learning to love Christmas again.

And why are there always Christmas trees next to me?

What is this? Christmas?

Any hope I had of loving Christmas again was gone.

It turned out the enemy of my enemy

was also my enemy, but also my enemy's cousin.

Translation. We should not have trusted the Shellys.

I guess Christmas and I will never rekindle our spark.

We're like cottage cheese and peanut butter

or cottage cheese and salsa or plain cottage cheese.

Man, cottage cheese is disgusting.

Tulip, I'm just as upset as you are that they stole the mash-up.

But don't worry, okay? We'll figure this out together.

Yeah. The most important thing is that you're happy

and you get your holiday spirit back.

Forget about the contest.

Thanks, guys.

But I think I just need to be alone right now.

Of course.

We're here if you need us.

[? sentimental music playing]

[Tulip] I took a walk to get away from Christmas,

but it turned out Christmas was everywhere I looked.

[girl] You seem sad.

What's wrong?

I'm just feeling a little...

[both] Down.

Yes. Wait.

Eight-year-old me, how are you here?

Holiday magic, honey.

Let me guess, Michelley?

Yeah, she's back. And at the worst time, too.

I was finally ready to embrace Christmas again.

Really?

Yeah. Jade and Posey made me feel like maybe I could.

Who are Jade and Posey?

Oh, right.

You don't know them yet.

They're my best friends.

One's organized and is gonna run the world someday.

And the other one's artsy and is gonna destroy it,

in a good way.

They sound awesome.

You have no idea.

I wish I had friends like that in my life.

You don't yet.

But you will when you're older, like me.

Wait. I'm me and I'm older.

I'm older me.

What am I doing?

I have Jade and Posey and so much love in my life.

Why am I letting Michelley ruin Christmas for me?

I'm Tulip Juniper Aoki

and I'm celebrating Christmas this year.

[? festive music playing]

Thanks, little me.

You guys! I just went for this walk,

and there were these lights and there was me,

but I was schmall, and everything felt right,

and I love you guys and I'm so happy to have you in my life.

- Tulip? - Wait. You're back from your walk?

Oh. You guys missed it.

I came in and said this big thing.

I'll sum it up for you.

Me, Christmas, Schmall me, you, love.

We're doing the contest!

- Really? We are? - With what? They stole our medley.

Which is why we're writing our own Christmas song.

We'll do it, on one condition.

We Christmas-bomb the heck out of this room.

To music.

[? upbeat festive music plays]

I don't hate it.

Hey, man, we came up with a plan

for you to get that gift back from Jade before she opens it.

- Lay it on him. - Okay.

All you gotta do is rent a Santa suit,

sneak into Jade's house in the dead of night,

swap the gifts, erase the security footage,

then escape out the chimney before the alarm goes off.

Easy-peasy.

What part of that was easy or peasy?

Hey, you.

I couldn't wait till Nochebuena,

so I opened your gift.

We have a lot to talk about.

I didn't mean it.

It was a joke. [laughs] Yeah, it was a joke.

Really? So, you're not my number one dude?

Oh, yeah.

I did wrap that shirt in a box about the size of a book.

What? Okay, what's going on?

I accidentally gave you the wrong gift.

But I do want to be your number one dude.

I just meant to give you this.

- A new journal? - For when yours gets full.

Dante, this is so thoughtful.

Also, I hope you don't mind, but I wrote the first entry.

[chuckles]

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

I know we've been hanging out a lot, but I just wanted to make it official.

So, will you?

How can I say no to my number one dude?

I'm not crying.

You're crying.

I know, man.

[singing] ? Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open ?

[vocalizing] ? Sleigh ?

[audience cheering]

Try beating that, Squeaks.

That's Mrs. Squeaks to you.

That's right. Tulip's married now.

- To Christmas. - Yeah!

Ooh, you here to see your girlfriend?

Yeah, I am.

- That's awesome, dude. - Yeah. We're really happy for you, man.

What up, holiday people?

We're Electric Bloom.

And what's that in the air?

Do you feel it?

I do! It feels like Christmas.

[singing] ? Whoa, Christmas ?

? Oh, feels like Christmas ?

? Whoa, Christmas ?

? Oh, feels like Christmas ?

? We can go and build a snowman out in the snow ?

? Ooh, wop-bop A-ooh, wop-bop ?

? Or watch somebody steal a kiss under the mistletoe ?

? Ooh, wop-bop A-ooh, wop-bop ?

? My gift isn't under the Christmas tree ?

? It's having you with me ?

? Feels like Christmas ?

? Let's make this Christmas ?

? The best Christmas ?

? We ever, ever ever, ever had ?

? We'll sit by the fireplace ?

? Warm smiles on every face ?

? And for always ?

? You'll always be part of my Christmas plan ?

? Feels like Christmas ?

? Whoa, Christmas ?

? Oh, feels like Christmas ?

[audience cheering]

[Posey] That's right, Electric Bloom won the Holiday Sing-Off.

And then everyone got all mushy 'cause, you know, Christmas.

You sounded pretty good up there, Tulip. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Michelley.

Hey, I liked your song.

Also, thanks.

- For what? - For reconnecting me with my cousin.

I know she was just using us because she thought we'd help her win,

but we actually ended up having fun together.

Also, I'm so happy she lost.

- Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas, bro.

Miracles do happen.

Our first Christmas together was truly magical.

Yeah, because we won the Sing-Off

and the shopping spree.

We stuck to my map and pulled in a huge haul,

which we gave back to the community.

Because that's what this time of year is all about.

[Tulip] And one kid in the crowd really stood out.

[? emotional music playing]

[Electric Bloom singing] ? Feels like Christmas ?

? Let's make this Christmas ?

? The best Christmas ?

? We ever, ever ever, ever had ?

? Whoa, Christmas ?

? Oh, feels like Christmas ?

[? theme music playing]

[kids imitating fanfare]

High five.
