Laura grabs a rope ladder hanging from a tree. Monica and Matt sit in the tree.
People sing, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW.
An animated map unfolds, showing a path from houses to the tree fort.
Monica and Matt sip from mugs in the tree fort. They sit beside each other in lawn chairs. They wear sweaters, scarves and winter hats.
Matt lowers his mug and says, OH! HEY, TVOKIDS!
WE ARE ENJOYING
SOME DELICIOUS HOT COCOA
AND IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!
I LOVE CHRISTMAS EVE, DON'T YOU?
Monica says, I LOVE CHRISTMAS EVE!
I GET TO SPEND SO MUCH TIME
WITH MY FAMILY
AND OPEN LOTS OF PRESENTS AND
THERE'S REALLY YUMMY FOOD.
Matt says, MMM.
SPEAKING OF YUMMY FOOD,
COUNT ANGELA!
HOW'S YOUR HOT COCOA?
The vampire Count Angela sits in lawn chair across from Matt and Monica. She wears a long, black cape and holds a large mug.
She says, UH, YES.
Count Angela glances down at her cocoa. She looks uncomfortable.
She says, COCOA.
Matt says, YEAH, SO HEY!
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE THING
ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS?
Count Angela says, OH, NOT MUCH TO BE HONEST.
Monica says, NOT MUCH?
Count Angela says, BUT I GUESS THE ONLY THING
I REALLY LIKE ABOUT
THE HOLIDAY SEASON
IS THAT IT'S CLOSE TO
THE WINTER SOLSTICE.
THE DARKEST DAY OF THE YEAR.
AFTER ALL,
I AM A CREATURE OF THE NIGHT.
Monica says, THAT'S COOL,
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PRESENTS?
Matt says, YEAH! FROM SANTA!
Count Angela says, SANTA CLAUS!
(Thunder crashing)
Count Angela stands up.
She demands, NEVER SPEAK THAT NAME TO ME!
Monica looks startled.
Count Angela says, SANTA CLAUS IS MY SWORN ENEMY.
Monica says, WHAT DID HE EVER DO TO YOU?
HE'S JUST A JOLLY, HAPPY OLD MAN
AND GIVE PRESENTS
TO KIDS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Count Angela says, MAYBE TO YOU,
BUT NOT TO COUNT ANGELA.
IN FACT, FOR 613 YEARS,
ALL I HAVE RECEIVED
IN MY STOCKING IS COAL,
SO ONE YEAR,
I DECIDE THAT MAYBE
I START TO CHANGE MY WAYS.
I GO AN ENTIRE YEAR RESISTING
MY DEEPEST, DARKEST
VAMPIRE URGES…
Count Angela looks off into the distance.
She says, …AND THEN, WHEN THE NIGHT
FINALLY ARRIVED.
(Jingle bells)
Snow covers a small house decorated with lights in a snowy forest.
Count Angels says, I COULDN'T WAIT
TO SEE SANTA CLAUS.
Inside, Count Angela pops up behind Santa Claus.
Count Angela says, HELLO, CLAUS!
Santa turns around.
He says, OOH! COUNT ANGELA!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Count Angela says, WELL, I COULDN'T WAIT FOR YOU TO
GET ALL THE WAY TO TRANSYLVANIA,
SO I THOUGHT I WOULD
MEET YOU HALFWAY.
Santa quietly chuckles.
Count Angela says, SO, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING
IN THAT SANTA SACK FOR ME?
PERHAPS A LITTLE
VAMPIRE PRESENT?
Santa shakes his head.
Count Angela says, WHAT?
Santa shrugs.
Count Angela says, BUT I DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING BAD ALL YEAR!
I WAS A GOOD VAMPIRE!
I BARELY DRANK ANYBODY'S BLOOD.
Santa chuckles.
He says, BUT THAT'S JUST THE THING.
IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT NOT DOING BAD,
IT'S ABOUT DOING GOOD!
THAT IS THE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS AFTER ALL
AND YOU DIDN'T DO ANY OF THAT.
Count Angela says, NONSENSE!
I, I DID GOOD THINGS.
THERE WAS THAT TIME…
Santa says, ANGIE.
Santa puts his hand on Count Angela’s arm.
He says, I'M SORRY.
Count Angela says, NO FAIR!
(Thunder crashing)
Count Angela says, I COMMAND YOU
TO GIVE ME PRESENT!
She glares at Santa.
Santa says, ANGELA, YOUR MIND-CONTROL POWERS
DON'T WORK ON ME.
NOW!
Santa commands, GO HO-HO-HOME.
Count Angela shakes her head.
She says, NO, I HAVE A BETTER IDEA.
I WILL GO HOME!
Count Angela looks confused.
She says, WAIT A SECOND!
DO YOU HAVE
MIND-CONTROL POWERS, TOO?
Santa chuckles.
He says, OF COURSE!
HOW ELSE DO I STOP THE KIDS
FROM TELLING ANYONE
WHEN THEY CATCH ME STUFFING
THE STOCKINGS
AND PUTTING PRESENTS
UNDER THE TREE?
WORKS LIKE A CHARM.
Count Angela says, HMM.
THAT DOES MAKE A LOT OF SENSE.
She nods.
She says, BUT FINE!
GOODBYE!
AND I HOPE I NEVER SEE
YOU AGAIN, CLAUS,
FOR AS LONG AS I NOT LIVE!
Santa says, BYE, ANGIE!
HO-HO!
Count Angela pulls her cape around her and leaves. Santa waves.
He says, SEE YOU SOON!
HO-HO-HO!
Back in the tree fort, Count Angela says, AND I HAVEN'T BEEN GOOD SINCE.
AND CHRISTMAS,
WELL, AS FOR CHRISTMAS,
IT'S JUST A CRUEL REMINDER
THAT SOMEWHERE OUT THERE
SANTA CLAUS IS JUDGING ME.
Count Angela sobs.
Monica says, WAIT! COUNT ANGELA!
YOU MET SANTA CLAUS?
Matt says, YEAH!
AND HE HAS MIND-CONTROL POWERS?
Count Angela nods.
Monica says, THAT'S SO COOL!
Count Angela sighs.
Matt says, BUT IF YOU DID HAVE
TO ASK FOR SOMETHING,
WHAT WOULD YOU ASK FOR?
Count Angela groans.
She says, I SUPPOSE IF
I DID HAVE ONE WISH,
IT WOULD BE TO UNDERSTAND
THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.
Monica smiles and nods.
Matt says, AW.
Count Angela says, SO THAT I COULD TRICK
SANTA CLAUS
AND GET ALL THE PRESENTS I WANT.
Together, Matt and Monica say, COUNT ANGELA.
Count Angela says, MMM-HMM.
She smiles.
(Phone vibrating)
(Ding)
A smiling smart phone icon rings. Text reads, incoming call.
The phone sings, SOMEONE IS CALLING…
Count Angela says, OH!
The phone sings, …YOU SHOULD GET IT.
SOMEONE IS CALLING.
Count Angela says, WHAT IS THIS?
DARK MAGIC!
Monica stands.
(Cool music plays)
Monica says, NO, IT'S OUR PHONE.
The phone sings, PICK IT UP,
PICK IT UP, PICK IT UP.
Matt says, IT'S JUST A CALLER.
Matt stands.
Monica says, IT'S OUR PHONE. LOOK.
Matt says, IT’S OKAY.
Monica says, A TVO KIDS’S CALLING.
The phone sings, PICK IT UP,
PICK IT UP.
Monica taps the smart phone icon and it disappears.
Monica says, HELLO? WHO IS IT?
A person says, EMMA!
Monica says, HEY, EMMA. WHAT'S THE PASSWORD
FOR TODAY?
Emma says, CHRISTMAS EVE!
Monica says, THAT'S CORRECT!
YOU'RE GOING TO THE SKY.
Monica points to the sky.
She says, WHOOP!
A girl sitting by a Christmas tree with stockings hanging behind her appears. She wears a Santa hat. Monica laughs.
She says, HEY, EMMA!
HOW'S IT GOING?
Text reads, Emma, age 10. Matt and Monica wave.
Emma says, GOOD! HOW ARE YOU?
Monica says, GREAT! WE'RE EXCITED
FOR CHRISTMAS.
ARE YOU EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS?
Emma says, YES, I'M SO EXCITED
FOR CHRISTMAS.
Monica says, THAT'S AWESOME!
DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS?
Emma says, UM, TO HANG OUT
WITH MY GRANDPARENTS
AND BUILD BIRDHOUSES.
Matt says, OOH! THAT'S COOL.
AND HEY, WE WERE WONDERING,
COUNT ANGELA'S VERY CURIOUS
TO KNOW…
Count Angela rolls her eyes.
Matt asks, …WHAT DO YOU THINK IS
THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.
Emma says, I THINK THE TRUE MEANING OF
CHRISTMAS IS
SPENDING TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT
ARE CLOSEST TO YOU
AND YOU GIVE GIFTS.
Matt and Monica nod in agreement.
Monica says, VERY COOL.
GIVING GIFTS.
Matt says, YEAH, SO, EMMA,
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE CUTE VIDEOS
TO SHOW YOU
AND WE WERE WONDERING
IF YOU COULD HELP US OUT.
YOU WANT TO CHECK THEM OUT?
Emma says, YEAH!
Matt says, OKAY, LET'S SEE THE CHALLENGER.
An announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A kitten stands on his hind legs as it swats at a red ornament hanging from a Christmas tree.
Count Angela says, OOH!
Matt laughs.
Count Angela says, IT'S A TIGER!
Matt says, NO, COUNT ANGELA!
Count Angela says, FROM THE JUNGLE.
Matt says, IT'S NOT!
IT'S JUST A LITTLE HOUSECAT
AND OH SO CUTE. IT'S PROBABLY
ITS FIRST CHRISTMAS
PLAYING WITH
THE LITTLE ORNAMENT.
EMMA, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
Emma says, THAT IS SO ADORABLE.
Matt says, YEAH, PRETTY CUTE,
PRETTY CUTE. WHAT WOULD YOU
GIVE IT OUT OF TEN?
Emma says, UH, I WOULD GIVE IT AN…
Emma looks thoughtful.
She says, …A NINE.
Matt says, OOH!
Count Angela says, NINE!
THAT IS BASICALLY 90%!
Matt says, IT IS 90%.
VERY HIGH SCORE,
VERY HARD SCORE TO BEAT.
BUT WE'VE GOT
ANOTHER CHALLENGER FOR YOU.
LET'S SEE IT.
The announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A dachshund runs into a room wearing a sweater, necklace and a reindeer antler headband.
Count Angela gasps.
She says, OH, NO!
IT'S A, ONE OF SANTA CLAUS'
REINDEER!
IT MUST HAVE ESCAPED
FROM THE SLEIGH.
Matt laughs.
He says, CLOSE!
IT'S ACTUALLY PROBABLY JUST
A WIENER DOG
WITH SOME VERY FESTIVE GEAR ON.
Monica grins. Emma nods.
Matt says, I THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLY CUTE.
WE'VE GOT PUPPY VERSUS KITTY
CHALLENGE FOR CHRISTMAS
AND EMMA, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WHICH ONE IS THE WINNER?
Matt says, UM,
THE CAT IS THE WINNER.
Matt says, THE CAT IS THE WINNER!
Monica cheers.
Count Angela says, THE LITTLE TIGER CAT!
Matt says, YES!
Count Angela says, IT BEATS THE REINDEER!
Matt says, IT DID! IT DID!
WE'VE GOT A NEW CHAMPION
ALL THANKS TO YOU, EMMA.
EMMA, YOU'VE GIVEN US SO MANY
AMAZING HOLIDAY TIPS.
Monica nods.
Matt says, HOW TO BEAT THE WINTER BLUES
AND HOW TO GET INTO THE SPIRIT.
THAT'S FOR HANGING OUT.
Monica says, SEE YA!
Monica waves.
Emma says, THANK YOU.
Count Angela says, GOODBYE, EMMA!
Matt waves.
Monica says, HEY, TVOKIDS!
IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE SKY
JUST LIKE OUR FRIEND EMMA,
YOU CAN GIVE US A CALL AT
1-888-886-5437.
Text reads, 1-888-886-5437.
Monica says, CALL US! WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
Matt says, YEAH, CALL US!
AND DON'T FORGET
TO TUNE IN RIGHT HERE
FOR LOTS OF AMAZING
HOLIDAY CONTENT.
Monica sips her cocoa.
Matt says, WE'VE GOT SOME AWESOME
FAVOURITES BY JULIA DONALDSON
AND AXEL SCHEFFLER,
THE GRUFFALO,
THE GRUFFALO'S CHILD,
AND
ZOG!
Text reads, Dec.31 starting at 5:30pm!
Monica says, DID YOU SAY
THE GRUFFALO?
I LOVE
THE GRUFFALO!
CAN WE PLEASE WATCH A CLIP?
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Matt says, MMM…
He looks thoughtful.
Monica says, RIGHT NOW! LET'S WATCH IT!
COME ON!
Matt says, NO. SEE YA.
Matt leaves.
Monica says, AW.
She looks disappointed.
She says, I LOVE
THE GRUFFALO.
Matt jumps back beside Monica.
He says, JUST KIDDING! ROLL IT!
Monica grins and throws her fist in the air. An animated video plays of a fox and a mouse.
The fox says, COME.
AND HAVE LUNCH
IN MY UNDERGROUND HOUSE.
The mouse walks backwards away from the fox. Underground, the fox removes a lid from a pot and some steam rises. The mouse leans forward and takes a smell. The fox pushes the mouse into the pot and the mouse screams. He lands in liquid. The mouse gasps and the fox laughs evilly before placing the lid back on the pot.
In the tree fort, Count Angela says, VERY GOOD!
I LOVE THE IDEA OF THAT FOX
EATING THAT MOUSE.
Monica nods.
Count Angela says, IT WAS SO FUNNY.
Matt says, YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY THAT UH,
THAT HOLIDAY-EY.
HEY! YOU KNOW WHAT?
Count Angela says, MM-HMM?
Matt says, I THINK YOU MIGHT NEED SOME HELP
WITH GETTING TO THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS.
SO, I THINK WE SHOULD TEACH YOU.
Monica says, YEAH! LET'S DO IT!
Count Angela says, WAIT.
YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR ME?
Monica says, OF COURSE!
Count Angela says, THEN LET'S LEARN IT!
(Upbeat music plays)
Monica and Matt stand on one side of a large pad of paper hanging on an easel, Count Angela stands on the other. On the pad, text reads, the true meaning of Christmas, it lists things like joy and family. Count Angela nods and Monica gives two thumbs up. Count Angela gestures for the market Matt holds and he hands it to her. Count Angela uncaps the marker and scratches out the list. Matt looks both surprised and concerned. Monica covers her face with her scarf.
Count Angela wears glasses and holds open a notebook. Monica holds a wrapped gift. She holds the gift out to Count Angela. Count Angela makes a note, then smacks the gift out of Monica’s hands. Monica plays the ukulele beside Matt who sings. Count Angela faces away from them with her ears plugged. Matt and Monica smile encouragingly as Monica holds out the wrapped gift. Count Angela smacks the box from the bottom and it flips onto the floor.
Matt and Monica share a hug. Count Angela makes a note. Monica tries holding out the gift to Count Angela again. Count Angela looks down at the gift, smacks it away and runs out of the tree fort.
Monica says, OKAY, SO COUNT ANGELA.
AFTER ALL OF THAT.
WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS?
Monica and Matt looks hopeful. Count Angela turns away from them. She looks at her notes.
Count Angela says, WELL,
I THINK THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS IS,
HMM.
Count Angela tilts her head.
She says, PRESENTS.
Monica sighs and drops her head.
She says, NO.
Matt says, NO, YEAH, IT'S,
THAT'S PART OF IT, BUT IT'S KIND
OF MORE THAN THAT.
I WISH I COULD STICK AROUND
AND TELL YOU,
BUT IT'S GETTING KIND OF LATE
AND I KIND OF GOTTA GET HOME.
Monica says, YEAH, I GOTTA GO OR ELSE
SANTA'S NOT GONNA
PUT PRESENTS IN OUR STOCKINGS
IF WE'RE HERE.
IT'S A WHOLE THING.
Matt says, BUT GOOD TRY AND UM,
MAYBE NEXT YEAR
WE CAN HELP YOU OUT.
Monica says, YEAH, YEAH, BYE.
Count Angela says, GOODBYE!
Matt says, SORRY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Matt and Monica leave.
Count Angela says, WHATEVER.
I'M USED TO IT.
NO BIG DEAL.
(Jingle bells ringing)
Count Angela says, HMM?
WHAT WAS THAT?
(Crashing)
The tree fort shakes. Count Angela stumbles.
She says, WHOA!
HELLO?
ANYBODY THERE?
(Groaning)
Count Angela runs out of the tree fort. A breaking news clip plays.
News host Quincy Quesadilla says, DISTURBING NEWS TONIGHT.
Text reads, news, live, Santa tracker crisis! On a map of Canada, a red dot pulses in Ontario.
Quincy says, THE SANTA TRACKER
HAS STOPPED MOVING.
I REPEAT! HAS STOPPED MOVING.
News host Biff Wellington says, AROUND 10 PM THIS EVENING,
WITNESSES REPORTED
JINGLE BELLS,
THEN A LOUD CRASH
DEEP WITHIN THE WOODS BEHIND ME.
Biff stands in front of an ambulance.
He says, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
ARE NOW SCOURING THE AREA
LOOKING FOR SANTA,
BUT NO SIGNS AS OF YET.
NOW, I'M NOT NORMALLY ONE
FOR SPECULATION OR HYPERBOLE,
BUT THIS REPORTER PREDICTS
TOMORROW MORNING
WILL BE THE WORST EVER
IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANKIND.
Count Angela finds Santa lying beside his crashed sleigh.
Count Angela says, IT'S YOU!
Santa says, COUNT ANGELA!
THANK GUMDROPS YOU'RE HERE!
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!
Count Angela says, AND WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU,
OLD MAN?
Santa says, ANGELA, PLEASE!
MY SLEIGH IS TOTALLED!
WHO ELSE IS GOING TO DELIVER
THESE PRESENTS
BY CHRISTMAS MORNING?
Count Angela says, OH, BOO-HOO!
WELL, WHAT ARE THE CHILDREN
GONNA DO?
THEY WERE NEVER HERE FOR ME WHEN
I GOT NOTHING.
Santa says, ANGELA, PLEASE!
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.
Count Angela says, WELL, I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP,
FOR REVENGE!
THAT'S RIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT
IS A MIDNIGHT SNACK.
(Thunder crashing)
Santa says, HEY, WAIT!
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS?
MATT AND MONICA?
THEY'RE EXPECTING THESE PRESENTS
ON CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Count Angela says, THEY'LL GET OVER IT.
I DID.
Santa says, YEAH, YOU REALLY LOOK OVER IT.
Count Angela says, FINE!
I'LL DO IT!
Santa says, HO-HO!
Count Angela says, BUT WHEN I GET BACK!
Count Angela grabs Santa’s sack.
She says, I'M GOING TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD!
Santa says, YEAH, YEAH, WE KNOW THE REST.
NOW GO! THOSE PRESENTS AREN'T
GOING TO DELIVER THEMSELVES.
HO, HO, HO.
GOODBYE!
Santa waves as Count Angela leaves with the presents. Count Angela flies through the sky as a bat.
She says, TIME TO DELIVER SOME PRESENTS!
MMM.
Quincy Quesadilla reports, AND AS IF TONIGHT COULDN'T GET
ANY WORSE,
WE'RE NOT HEARING REPORTS
OF VAMPIRE ATTACKS
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Text reads, vampire attacks.
In the sky, Count Angela says, NEXT STOP, NEW ZEALAND!
Quincy reports, APOLOGIES! CORRECTION!
REPORTS OF A VAMPIRE BREAKING
INTO HOMES
AND DELIVERING HOLIDAY CHEER?
AM I READING THAT RIGHT?
In the sky, Count Angela groans.
She says, THIS IS SO MUCH WORK.
Biff Wellington reports, STARTLING FOOTAGE TAKEN
BY A VIEWER IN MEXICO
REVEALS WHAT APPEARS TO BE SOME
SORT OF FANGED GHOUL
RUMMAGING AROUND
A LIVING ROOM.
Text reads, scary Christmas?
Biff says, WARNING.
THIS FOOTAGE IS VERY WEIRD.
Text on the news channel reads, who’s that ghoul? A video plays of a light pointed at Count Angela near a Christmas tree with the sack of presents. She hisses.
She says, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Count Angela runs out.
Biff says, TERRIFYING, CHILLING,
AND BIZARRE.
Count Angela breaths heavily as she flies through the night sky.
Quincy reports, REPORTS ARE POURING IN
FROM AROUND THE WORLD
OF A VAMPIRE NAMED COUNT ANGELA,
SEEN HERE IN A FILE PHOTO
MID SNEEZE,
DELIVERING SANTA'S PRESENTS
FOR HIM.
WHETHER SHE HAS USURPED
JOLLY OLD ST. NICK BY FORCE
OR POLITICS REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
CHRISTMAS IS SAVED!
In the forest, Angela walks up to Santa with the sack. She groans.
Count Angela says, WHO KNEW BILLIONS OF PRESENTS
WEIGHED SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO FEEL THAT TOMORROW.
Santa says, COUNT ANGELA, AFTER ALL THESE
CENTURIES,
YOU FINALLY DID SOMETHING GOOD.
CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD
ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHRISTMAS
TOMORROW THANKS TO YOU.
Count Angela says, OH, NO BIG DEAL!
I MEAN, YOU PROBABLY JUST USED
YOUR MIND-CONTROL POWERS ON ME.
Santa says, HO-HO-HO!
NO, I DIDN'T.
I JUST ANSWERED
YOUR CHRISTMAS WISH.
Count Angela says, BUT I DIDN'T WISH FOR ANYTHING.
Count Angela looks confused.
Santa says, YES, YOU DID.
YOU WISHED TO KNOW
THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.
THAT'S WHY BLITZEN AND THE BOYS
STAGED THE CRASH.
I DIDN'T HURT MY LEG AT ALL.
AH-HA!
Santa jumps up.
He says, SEE!
I'M PERFECTLY FINE!
SHABAMBA!
Santa kicks his leg up.
Count Angela says, NOBODY TRICKS COUNT ANGELA!
Count Angela hisses at Santa.
Santa says, OH!
BUT BEFORE YOU BITE ME,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK
IN THAT BAG THERE.
THERE COULD BE A PRESENT
IN THERE FOR YOU.
Count Angela says, BUT NOBODY'S EVER GOTTEN
COUNT ANGELA A PRESENT BEFORE.
Santa says, THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'D NEVER
EARNED ONE BEFORE.
Count Angela reaches into the bag. She pulls out a present.
Count Angela says, A PRESENT?
FOR ME?
SANTA!
Count Angela reaches for Santa.
Santa says, DON'T BITE ME! I'M TOO PRETTY
TO BECOME A VAMPIRE!
Count Angela says, NO BITE.
JUST HUG.
Santa says, AW!
Count Angela hugs Santa.
She says, THANK YOU, SANTA CLAUS.
Santa says, YOU'RE WELCOME, COUNT ANGELA.
AND ONE MORE THING.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Count Angela says, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Santa says, GOOD! GOOD!
Count Angela says, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
AND TO ALL, A GOOD NIGHT!
Santa says, HO-HO-HO-HO.

Monica says, HEY, EMMA. WHAT'S THE PASSWORD
FOR TODAY?
Emma says, CHRISTMAS EVE!
Monica says, THAT'S CORRECT!
YOU'RE GOING TO THE SKY.
Monica points to the sky.
She says, WHOOP!
A girl sitting by a Christmas tree with stockings hanging behind her appears. She wears a Santa hat. Monica laughs.
She says, HEY, EMMA!
HOW'S IT GOING?
Text reads, Emma, age 10. Matt and Monica wave.
Emma says, GOOD! HOW ARE YOU?
Monica says, GREAT! WE'RE EXCITED
FOR CHRISTMAS.
ARE YOU EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS?
Emma says, YES, I'M SO EXCITED
FOR CHRISTMAS.
Monica says, THAT'S AWESOME!
DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS?
Emma says, UM, TO HANG OUT
WITH MY GRANDPARENTS
AND BUILD BIRDHOUSES.
Matt says, OOH! THAT'S COOL.
AND HEY, WE WERE WONDERING,
COUNT ANGELA'S VERY CURIOUS
TO KNOW…
Count Angela rolls her eyes.
Matt asks, …WHAT DO YOU THINK IS
THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.
Emma says, I THINK THE TRUE MEANING OF
CHRISTMAS IS
SPENDING TIME WITH PEOPLE THAT
ARE CLOSEST TO YOU
AND YOU GIVE GIFTS.
Matt and Monica nod in agreement.
Monica says, VERY COOL.
GIVING GIFTS.
Matt says, YEAH, SO, EMMA,
WE'VE GOT A COUPLE CUTE VIDEOS
TO SHOW YOU
AND WE WERE WONDERING
IF YOU COULD HELP US OUT.
YOU WANT TO CHECK THEM OUT?
Emma says, YEAH!
Matt says, OKAY, LET'S SEE THE CHALLENGER.
An announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A kitten stands on his hind legs as it swats at a red ornament hanging from a Christmas tree.
Count Angela says, OOH!
Matt laughs.
Count Angela says, IT'S A TIGER!
Matt says, NO, COUNT ANGELA!
Count Angela says, FROM THE JUNGLE.
Matt says, IT'S NOT!
IT'S JUST A LITTLE HOUSECAT
AND OH SO CUTE. IT'S PROBABLY
ITS FIRST CHRISTMAS
PLAYING WITH
THE LITTLE ORNAMENT.
EMMA, WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT?
Emma says, THAT IS SO ADORABLE.
Matt says, YEAH, PRETTY CUTE,
PRETTY CUTE. WHAT WOULD YOU
GIVE IT OUT OF TEN?
Emma says, UH, I WOULD GIVE IT AN…
Emma looks thoughtful.
She says, …A NINE.
Matt says, OOH!
Count Angela says, NINE!
THAT IS BASICALLY 90%!
Matt says, IT IS 90%.
VERY HIGH SCORE,
VERY HARD SCORE TO BEAT.
BUT WE'VE GOT
ANOTHER CHALLENGER FOR YOU.
LET'S SEE IT.
The announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A dachshund runs into a room wearing a sweater, necklace and a reindeer antler headband.
Count Angela gasps.
She says, OH, NO!
IT'S A, ONE OF SANTA CLAUS'
REINDEER!
IT MUST HAVE ESCAPED
FROM THE SLEIGH.
Matt laughs.
He says, CLOSE!
IT'S ACTUALLY PROBABLY JUST
A WIENER DOG
WITH SOME VERY FESTIVE GEAR ON.
Monica grins. Emma nods.
Matt says, I THINK THAT'S INCREDIBLY CUTE.
WE'VE GOT PUPPY VERSUS KITTY
CHALLENGE FOR CHRISTMAS
AND EMMA, WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WHICH ONE IS THE WINNER?
Matt says, UM,
THE CAT IS THE WINNER.
Matt says, THE CAT IS THE WINNER!
Monica cheers.
Count Angela says, THE LITTLE TIGER CAT!
Matt says, YES!
Count Angela says, IT BEATS THE REINDEER!
Matt says, IT DID! IT DID!
WE'VE GOT A NEW CHAMPION
ALL THANKS TO YOU, EMMA.
EMMA, YOU'VE GIVEN US SO MANY
AMAZING HOLIDAY TIPS.
Monica nods.
Matt says, HOW TO BEAT THE WINTER BLUES
AND HOW TO GET INTO THE SPIRIT.
THAT'S FOR HANGING OUT.
Monica says, SEE YA!
Monica waves.
Emma says, THANK YOU.
Count Angela says, GOODBYE, EMMA!
Matt waves.
Monica says, HEY, TVOKIDS!
IF YOU WANT TO BE IN THE SKY
JUST LIKE OUR FRIEND EMMA,
YOU CAN GIVE US A CALL AT
1-888-886-5437.
Text reads, 1-888-886-5437.
Monica says, CALL US! WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
Matt says, YEAH, CALL US!
AND DON'T FORGET
TO TUNE IN RIGHT HERE
FOR LOTS OF AMAZING
HOLIDAY CONTENT.
Monica sips her cocoa.
Matt says, WE'VE GOT SOME AWESOME
FAVOURITES BY JULIA DONALDSON
AND AXEL SCHEFFLER,
THE GRUFFALO,
THE GRUFFALO'S CHILD,
AND
ZOG!
Text reads, Dec.31 starting at 5:30pm!
Monica says, DID YOU SAY
THE GRUFFALO?
I LOVE
THE GRUFFALO!
CAN WE PLEASE WATCH A CLIP?
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Matt says, MMM…
He looks thoughtful.
Monica says, RIGHT NOW! LET'S WATCH IT!
COME ON!
Matt says, NO. SEE YA.
Matt leaves.
Monica says, AW.
She looks disappointed.
She says, I LOVE
THE GRUFFALO.
Matt jumps back beside Monica.
He says, JUST KIDDING! ROLL IT!
Monica grins and throws her fist in the air. An animated video plays of a fox and a mouse.
The fox says, COME.
AND HAVE LUNCH
IN MY UNDERGROUND HOUSE.
The mouse walks backwards away from the fox. Underground, the fox removes a lid from a pot and some steam rises. The mouse leans forward and takes a smell. The fox pushes the mouse into the pot and the mouse screams. He lands in liquid. The mouse gasps and the fox laughs evilly before placing the lid back on the pot.
In the tree fort, Count Angela says, VERY GOOD!
I LOVE THE IDEA OF THAT FOX
EATING THAT MOUSE.
Monica nods.
Count Angela says, IT WAS SO FUNNY.
Matt says, YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY THAT UH,
THAT HOLIDAY-EY.
HEY! YOU KNOW WHAT?
Count Angela says, MM-HMM?
Matt says, I THINK YOU MIGHT NEED SOME HELP
WITH GETTING TO THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS.
SO, I THINK WE SHOULD TEACH YOU.
Monica says, YEAH! LET'S DO IT!
Count Angela says, WAIT.
YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR ME?
Monica says, OF COURSE!
Count Angela says, THEN LET'S LEARN IT!
(Upbeat music plays)
Monica and Matt stand on one side of a large pad of paper hanging on an easel, Count Angela stands on the other. On the pad, text reads, the true meaning of Christmas, it lists things like joy and family. Count Angela nods and Monica gives two thumbs up. Count Angela gestures for the market Matt holds and he hands it to her. Count Angela uncaps the marker and scratches out the list. Matt looks both surprised and concerned. Monica covers her face with her scarf.
Count Angela wears glasses and holds open a notebook. Monica holds a wrapped gift. She holds the gift out to Count Angela. Count Angela makes a note, then smacks the gift out of Monica’s hands. Monica plays the ukulele beside Matt who sings. Count Angela faces away from them with her ears plugged. Matt and Monica smile encouragingly as Monica holds out the wrapped gift. Count Angela smacks the box from the bottom and it flips onto the floor.
Matt and Monica share a hug. Count Angela makes a note. Monica tries holding out the gift to Count Angela again. Count Angela looks down at the gift, smacks it away and runs out of the tree fort.
Monica says, OKAY, SO COUNT ANGELA.
AFTER ALL OF THAT.
WHAT IS THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS?
Monica and Matt looks hopeful. Count Angela turns away from them. She looks at her notes.
Count Angela says, WELL,
I THINK THE TRUE MEANING
OF CHRISTMAS IS,
HMM.
Count Angela tilts her head.
She says, PRESENTS.
Monica sighs and drops her head.
She says, NO.
Matt says, NO, YEAH, IT'S,
THAT'S PART OF IT, BUT IT'S KIND
OF MORE THAN THAT.
I WISH I COULD STICK AROUND
AND TELL YOU,
BUT IT'S GETTING KIND OF LATE
AND I KIND OF GOTTA GET HOME.
Monica says, YEAH, I GOTTA GO OR ELSE
SANTA'S NOT GONNA
PUT PRESENTS IN OUR STOCKINGS
IF WE'RE HERE.
IT'S A WHOLE THING.
Matt says, BUT GOOD TRY AND UM,
MAYBE NEXT YEAR
WE CAN HELP YOU OUT.
Monica says, YEAH, YEAH, BYE.
Count Angela says, GOODBYE!
Matt says, SORRY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Matt and Monica leave.
Count Angela says, WHATEVER.
I'M USED TO IT.
NO BIG DEAL.
(Jingle bells ringing)
Count Angela says, HMM?
WHAT WAS THAT?
(Crashing)
The tree fort shakes. Count Angela stumbles.
She says, WHOA!
HELLO?
ANYBODY THERE?
(Groaning)
Count Angela runs out of the tree fort. A breaking news clip plays.
News host Quincy Quesadilla says, DISTURBING NEWS TONIGHT.
Text reads, news, live, Santa tracker crisis! On a map of Canada, a red dot pulses in Ontario.
Quincy says, THE SANTA TRACKER
HAS STOPPED MOVING.
I REPEAT! HAS STOPPED MOVING.
News host Biff Wellington says, AROUND 10 PM THIS EVENING,
WITNESSES REPORTED
JINGLE BELLS,
THEN A LOUD CRASH
DEEP WITHIN THE WOODS BEHIND ME.
Biff stands in front of an ambulance.
He says, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
ARE NOW SCOURING THE AREA
LOOKING FOR SANTA,
BUT NO SIGNS AS OF YET.
NOW, I'M NOT NORMALLY ONE
FOR SPECULATION OR HYPERBOLE,
BUT THIS REPORTER PREDICTS
TOMORROW MORNING
WILL BE THE WORST EVER
IN THE HISTORY OF HUMANKIND.
Count Angela finds Santa lying beside his crashed sleigh.
Count Angela says, IT'S YOU!
Santa says, COUNT ANGELA!
THANK GUMDROPS YOU'RE HERE!
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!
Count Angela says, AND WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU,
OLD MAN?
Santa says, ANGELA, PLEASE!
MY SLEIGH IS TOTALLED!
WHO ELSE IS GOING TO DELIVER
THESE PRESENTS
BY CHRISTMAS MORNING?
Count Angela says, OH, BOO-HOO!
WELL, WHAT ARE THE CHILDREN
GONNA DO?
THEY WERE NEVER HERE FOR ME WHEN
I GOT NOTHING.
Santa says, ANGELA, PLEASE!
I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.
Count Angela says, WELL, I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP,
FOR REVENGE!
THAT'S RIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT
IS A MIDNIGHT SNACK.
(Thunder crashing)
Santa says, HEY, WAIT!
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS?
MATT AND MONICA?
THEY'RE EXPECTING THESE PRESENTS
ON CHRISTMAS MORNING.
Count Angela says, THEY'LL GET OVER IT.
I DID.
Santa says, YEAH, YOU REALLY LOOK OVER IT.
Count Angela says, FINE!
I'LL DO IT!
Santa says, HO-HO!
Count Angela says, BUT WHEN I GET BACK!
Count Angela grabs Santa’s sack.
She says, I'M GOING TO DRINK YOUR BLOOD!
Santa says, YEAH, YEAH, WE KNOW THE REST.
NOW GO! THOSE PRESENTS AREN'T
GOING TO DELIVER THEMSELVES.
HO, HO, HO.
GOODBYE!
Santa waves as Count Angela leaves with the presents. Count Angela flies through the sky as a bat.
She says, TIME TO DELIVER SOME PRESENTS!
MMM.
Quincy Quesadilla reports, AND AS IF TONIGHT COULDN'T GET
ANY WORSE,
WE'RE NOT HEARING REPORTS
OF VAMPIRE ATTACKS
ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Text reads, vampire attacks.
In the sky, Count Angela says, NEXT STOP, NEW ZEALAND!
Quincy reports, APOLOGIES! CORRECTION!
REPORTS OF A VAMPIRE BREAKING
INTO HOMES
AND DELIVERING HOLIDAY CHEER?
AM I READING THAT RIGHT?
In the sky, Count Angela groans.
She says, THIS IS SO MUCH WORK.
Biff Wellington reports, STARTLING FOOTAGE TAKEN
BY A VIEWER IN MEXICO
REVEALS WHAT APPEARS TO BE SOME
SORT OF FANGED GHOUL
RUMMAGING AROUND
A LIVING ROOM.
Text reads, scary Christmas?
Biff says, WARNING.
THIS FOOTAGE IS VERY WEIRD.
Text on the news channel reads, who’s that ghoul? A video plays of a light pointed at Count Angela near a Christmas tree with the sack of presents. She hisses.
She says, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Count Angela runs out.
Biff says, TERRIFYING, CHILLING,
AND BIZARRE.
Count Angela breaths heavily as she flies through the night sky.
Quincy reports, REPORTS ARE POURING IN
FROM AROUND THE WORLD
OF A VAMPIRE NAMED COUNT ANGELA,
SEEN HERE IN A FILE PHOTO
MID SNEEZE,
DELIVERING SANTA'S PRESENTS
FOR HIM.
WHETHER SHE HAS USURPED
JOLLY OLD ST. NICK BY FORCE
OR POLITICS REMAINS TO BE SEEN.
BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
CHRISTMAS IS SAVED!
In the forest, Angela walks up to Santa with the sack. She groans.
Count Angela says, WHO KNEW BILLIONS OF PRESENTS
WEIGHED SO MUCH.
I'M GOING TO FEEL THAT TOMORROW.
Santa says, COUNT ANGELA, AFTER ALL THESE
CENTURIES,
YOU FINALLY DID SOMETHING GOOD.
CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD
ARE GOING TO HAVE A CHRISTMAS
TOMORROW THANKS TO YOU.
Count Angela says, OH, NO BIG DEAL!
I MEAN, YOU PROBABLY JUST USED
YOUR MIND-CONTROL POWERS ON ME.
Santa says, HO-HO-HO!
NO, I DIDN'T.
I JUST ANSWERED
YOUR CHRISTMAS WISH.
Count Angela says, BUT I DIDN'T WISH FOR ANYTHING.
Count Angela looks confused.
Santa says, YES, YOU DID.
YOU WISHED TO KNOW
THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS.
THAT'S WHY BLITZEN AND THE BOYS
STAGED THE CRASH.
I DIDN'T HURT MY LEG AT ALL.
AH-HA!
Santa jumps up.
He says, SEE!
I'M PERFECTLY FINE!
SHABAMBA!
Santa kicks his leg up.
Count Angela says, NOBODY TRICKS COUNT ANGELA!
Count Angela hisses at Santa.
Santa says, OH!
BUT BEFORE YOU BITE ME,
YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK
IN THAT BAG THERE.
THERE COULD BE A PRESENT
IN THERE FOR YOU.
Count Angela says, BUT NOBODY'S EVER GOTTEN
COUNT ANGELA A PRESENT BEFORE.
Santa says, THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'D NEVER
EARNED ONE BEFORE.
Count Angela reaches into the bag. She pulls out a present.
Count Angela says, A PRESENT?
FOR ME?
SANTA!
Count Angela reaches for Santa.
Santa says, DON'T BITE ME! I'M TOO PRETTY
TO BECOME A VAMPIRE!
Count Angela says, NO BITE.
JUST HUG.
Santa says, AW!
Count Angela hugs Santa.
She says, THANK YOU, SANTA CLAUS.
Santa says, YOU'RE WELCOME, COUNT ANGELA.
AND ONE MORE THING.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Count Angela says, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Santa says, GOOD! GOOD!
Count Angela says, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
AND TO ALL, A GOOD NIGHT!
Santa says, HO-HO-HO-HO.
