[indistinct arguing]

No, no, no.

Listen. Hey, hey, I don't even wanna hear it.

-But you did it! -I don't wanna hear it.

It wasn't even my fault. It was Charlie's.

Dylan was the one who made me do it.

Auntie Yaz,

you gotta talk some sense into Uncle Myles.

It's Christmas Eve and he's trying to ground us to our room.

Unacceptable.

No, unacceptable is what happened

at the Christmas tree lot.

Okay, okay, okay. Someone just explain.

Okay, we're at the Christmas tree lot

trying to pick out a tree when they start arguing.

-Again? -[Myles] Mm-hmm.

You two have been arguing non-stop lately.

What is it this time?

My cousin doesn't have respect for the Douglas Fir.

And my cousin has clearly never seen

a Colorado Blue Spruce.

They're trees. They're green and pointy.

That's enough.

Okay, so argument about trees?

-Oh, yeah. -That doesn't seem so bad.

Oh, no, no, an argument that turned into wrestling.

These two here, they knocked over

the biggest tree on the lot.

And then that tree knocked over another tree

that knocked over another tree that knocked over another tree.

-Okay, okay, okay, I get it... -And then the next tree.

-[Yasmine] I get it. -Boy.

Yeah. Fifty-two, baby. Fifty-two.

Fifty-two trees, Yasmine.

I mean, it was kinda awesome, to be honest.

And one poor old lady.

Except for the poor old lady part.

Mm-hmm.

What is going on with you two?

You've been fighting like this for a week.

You're supposed to be a team.

Mm-hmm, team grounded, team stuck in their room.

-No way! -Come on.

Uncle Myles, it's Christmas Eve!

Yeah, which is exactly the reason why

I'm not gonna put you in there for a whole week.

Now, if you stay in your room the way that you're supposed to,

maybe, just maybe, I'll let you come down

and celebrate with the family later.

Agreed. It'll be a good chance

for the two of you to talk about

why you've been fighting so much.

-But... -[Yasmine] No more buts

except the two butts you're about to drag up to your room.

[indistinct muttering]

And clean yourselves up.

Um, honey.

Why is the box

that we're returning the fridge in decorated?

Since you were the one in charge of getting it picked up,

I assume it will just be here permanently now.

Ha-ha-ha, see what you did there.

Okay, honey, they're coming to pick it up today.

I promise I'll get it all packed.

Okay? Right after a quick rest.

Yeah, listen, picking up 52 trees

that's hard work.

Baby, you should've seen the owner of the lot's face.

It turned Christmas tree ornament red.

Just glad I don't have to see his face for another 365 days.

By the way, where is our tree?

In all that chaos, did you forget to get us a tree?

No.

Girl, please.

It's right outside in the car.

I'll just go get it, yep, as soon as I put my shoes on.

Be right back.

-Just give me a second, okay? -Okay.

About 45 minutes to an hour.

[music]

Dude, turn that off. You're gonna get us busted.

Sorry.

We can't get caught out of our rooms too

or we're gonna be grounded for Christmas.

We just need some snacks and games, and get out.

You sure you don't wanna talk about

why we've been arguing so much like Mom said?

I'd rather keep arguing

but with snacks and candy.

It just seems like you've been a little...

[knocking on door]

Dude, what are you doing?

-Ow. -We can't be out here.

[Rebecca] I'll get it.

-Hide. -Hide.

Charlie, in here.

Where?

Why even have a smart doorbell

if people aren't smart enough to use it?

I'm here for a fridge or something, dude.

Hmm, I wonder where it could be.

-What's that? -Like, a fridge, dude.

Oh, nice.

Don't you worry.

I'll seal this puppy up in...

You're already gone.

[Dylan] What's going on?

-[Charlie] Who's out there? -[Dylan] Hello?

[Charlie] We're not a refrigerator.

[Dylan] Let us out! [banging on box]

Man, this beat's bass is really going.

[Dylan and Charlie screaming]

[music]

[Dylan and Charlie grunting]

We're free!

Oh, man, we're trapped again.

Where are we?

I think we're in the back of the delivery truck.

It looks like all this stuff is being returned to stores.

Hello? Can anyone hear me?

Yes, I can!

It's Christmas Eve,

and I'm cold, and I'm hungry, and I have to go...

Don't say you have to go to the bathroom.

Fine. I won't.

But I do.

Look, man, we've already been gone for, like, an hour.

The fam's probably on their way

to rescue us right this second.

It's so quiet with Dylan and Charlie grounded.

Yes. Yes, it is.

Decorating kinda late, huh?

Hi, Viola.

A little later than usual,

but I blame the tree delivery man.

-You mean Dad? -[Yasmine] Yes.

Well, forget about your mother's procrastination.

I have gifts.

Wanna open yours?

Hmm, let me think. Yes.

I don't know much about young fashion,

but if you don't like it, just say so, sweetie.

-Well, then... -I'm sure she loves it.

[Viola exhaling] But, Mom, I...

When someone gives us a gift, we say thank you.

But, Mom, look at it.

What? I think it's interestingly shaped.

Everything okay?

Rebecca was just saying how excited she is

to try it on.

Yeah, I can't wait.

Thanks, Grandma.

Oh, you're welcome, baby.

Oh, look at that smile.

I'm so glad you like it, baby.

Well, I sure do, Grandma.

I'm just gonna go enjoy it in my room for a while.

With the lights off where no one can see me.

Ow.

Man, I think my teeth are chattering so hard,

I chipped a tooth.

What're we gonna do?

Look, the delivery driver's

probably gonna be back any minute.

I think I saw a clipboard somewhere.

See? Look here.

It says he's gonna be back in three days!

But it's Christmas Eve.

We're gonna be stuck in here on Christmas!

Looks like it.

Wanna play I Spy to pass the time?

I spy with my little eye something...

Is it a box?

Yeah, it's a box.

* I'm in a truck with no plan but I got you, fam *

* I'm colder than an icicle

* My feet froze like a popsicle *

-Dylan! -What?

I'm sorry. I rap when I get nervous

and when I get stuck in delivery trucks.

No, look, I found a blanket.

Yes! That's exactly what we...

Oh, man.

This isn't a blanket.

This is a big, dirty, filthy rag.

Give it to me.

No, it's mine. I found it.

Come on, man. Sharing is caring.

No, it's not.

Give it. It's mine. Give...

Oh, we're gonna freeze.

Come on, man. No, we won't.

We may be trapped in here, but someone is gonna find us.

We just need to find a way to stay warm until then.

Um, maybe there's a real blanket

or some warm clothes in one of these boxes.

But we can't go through other people's stuff.

Bro, all this junk is being returned to stores.

Besides, this is an emergency.

Where's your squirrel scouts' spirit?

Right.

Christmas lights.

Silverware.

Portable toaster.

[Charlie] Egh. Blankets.

Some books.

Wait. Blankets?

Blankets!

Yeah!

Man, this sure would be nice if we found some snacks too.

Or some long pants.

Maybe just one or two more boxes.

Babe, don't you think it's weird?

I mean, we haven't heard a peep out of Dylan and Charlie

since we sent them to their room.

Yeah, I was actually looking forward

to using my deep, "What'd I tell you?" voice.

I think it's the longest they've gone in a week

without fighting.

Mm. Yeah, well, maybe they actually listened to you

and talked it out.

Think we should give them another chance?

It is Christmas Eve.

Okay. All right, just not the eyes.

All right?

Dylan, Charlie!

Dylan, Charlie!

Oh, so y'all gonna just not respond?

It's like that? Y'all think...

You ain't punking me in front of my momma!

And I didn't even use my deep voice.

When I call you, you...

You know what? Since you don't wanna answer me,

you can stay in there even longer!

See if I care.

Kids.

[Viola] Hey. [knocking on door]

-[Rebecca] It's for me. -How do you do it?

-[Viola] Practice. -[Yasmine] Ugh.

What do you have there?

I'm so glad you asked, Momma.

I decided to order you a last-minute gift,

same-day delivery and everything.

Oh, that's so sweet, sweetie.

So...

Ooh, nice wrapping.

Do you love it?

-Um. -[Rebecca] It's a gift, right?

So you must love it.

I think you should put it on right now.

Okay, mm-hmm.

So?

I love it.

Really?

Of course I do.

I mean, it's so...

Loud, hideous.

Disturbingly grotesque.

Exactly the words I was not thinking.

You know, Mom, if you don't love it,

you can just tell me.

I won't be offended.

[Yasmine] Don't be so silly.

How could I not love something

that smells so much like...

Air freshener.

Okay, you two.

Something stinks and it's not that thing.

Well, not just that thing.

What's going on?

Grandma V, I love you,

but I'm not so sure about my gift.

I wanted to tell you, but Mom said it wasn't polite.

Ah, sweetie.

Move, tree.

I'm glad you told me the truth.

I'm a tough cookie.

You can't hurt my feelings.

You aren't gonna do it.

That goes for you too.

Besides, Calanetta has an amazing return policy.

But...

Calanetta? This is from Calanetta?

That's right, and I dropped a pretty penny on it too.

The young person at the store told me

that it was gonna be all the rage this spring,

but since you don't like it...

Oh, you can't have this.

I love it! Oh, my gosh.

I need to go take selfies in this right now!

I love it, I love it, I love it!

[squealing]

Man, thank goodness for portable generators.

Why'd you pause it?

Don't tell me you wanna argue some more.

Nah, kinda the opposite.

I owe you an apology, Charlie.

It's my fault we been fighting so much.

And it's my fault we got stuck in this truck.

So what's going on with you?

I guess it started when I talked to my mom, like, a week ago.

She was supposed to stop by for Christmas this year,

but, you know, something came up.

Holidays is just tough, I guess.

At least you have me.

And we're warm and have snacks.

And I don't even have to go the bathroom anymore.

Or I didn't until I said that.

Yeah. I know. You're right.

I'm pretty lucky, I guess.

[gentle hissing]

What the...

Snow?

I found this snow machine,

and since you miss your mom and Chicago,

I thought it would be a nice touch.

Charlie, this is better than nice.

You're the best, man. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to you too, Dylan.

Ooh, the pastry pockets.

This is actually pretty nice, huh?

Yeah, we're a good team.

I'm lucky to have a cousin like you.

Cousins? Yo.

We live together and we argue together.

And we survived being trapped in a freezing truck together.

And there's snow.

We're not cousins anymore.

We're brothers.

I mean, if you wanna be or whatever.

Brothers.

Man, I wonder why all this stuff's being sent back.

It all works fine.

And I wonder why you had to say that.

So much for our comfy Christmas.

Hey, bro.

We still have each other.

And there's nowhere else I'd rather be right now

than here with you.

[knocking]

Oh, thank goodness.

Get us out of here.

Now what on Earth

are the two of you doing in here?

[indistinct rambling]

All right, okay, okay, that's a lot.

It looks like I came by at the right time.

If you two will head that way,

you'll find the main security gate

and the guard there can help get you home.

-You're the best. -All right? Come on.

-Thank you, thank you. -Now come down here.

-[Dylan] We're free! -[Charlie] We're free!

Ooh, cookies.

-Look at how cute she was. -Dad.

Christmas Eve snacks.

What? It's surprisingly comfy.

-Myles. -[Myles] Yes.

You said they came to pick up the fridge today, right?

Oh, yeah, absolutely, just like I promised.

Then why is the fridge still in the mudroom?

I wasn't expecting two refrigerators.

Merry Christmas, baby.

I'll take one.

Did you two just come from outside?

Did you just come from the forest?

-Uh, Myles. -Excuse me.

[clearing throat] Yes, what's going on?

We're so sorry! [indistinct rambling]

Okay. Okay.

I'm so sorry, sir.

It appears we accidentally tried

to return your children to the store.

I am so confused.

So am I.

Well, if it's any consolation,

we'd like to offer you this coupon.

Wait a minute.

We've been missing for hours.

Did you not even know we were gone?

Wow. I mean, wow, man.

I think we have a lot to talk about.

Um, thank you for returning our children.

No problem, ma'am.

I promise this hardly ever happens.

I'll just take one of these cookies

and get out of your hair.

[Myles] Yeah, help yourself.

Thanks for the ride, Walter, and thank Nick for us too.

Nick? Who's Nick?

Uh, the other security guard.

Um, I think his name tag said Nick.

He's the one who got us out the truck.

Oh, sorry, kid. You must be mistaken.

I'm the only security guard on the lot.

Must be a Christmas miracle

or your brain's been nuts from the cold.

Either way, take care.

What?

If Walter was the only security guard...

Then who's the guy with the beard

who let us out of the truck?

The guy with the big red suit.

Named Nick.

-Could it be? -No.

Could it?

-Santa Claus! -Santa Claus!

Yeah, we just got saved by Santa Claus!

If you guys didn't get us the gifts--

Oh, man.

What a way to spend Christmas Eve.

Oh, man, what a way to spend Christmas Eve.
