[ Sleigh bells jingling ]

Heya, kids!

You may be wondering what I'm

Doing.

Well, I'm ice skating!

Me -- can you believe it?

Because it's the most wonderful

Time of the year in

Marzipan city...

[ Whirl! Whirl! Whirl! ]

Knishmas!

It's all about the magic.

Kisses under the gristletoe...

[ Growls ]

The gift giving...

And then there's the legend of

Knish krinkle, for whom we build

Beautiful schmingerbread houses.

If he likes your house, he

Leaves you presents!

[ Squirt! ]

Hey, mister.

Oh, hello, baby who

Represents the pure eyes of a

Child.

Look to camera and smile.

[ Blink! Blink! ]

What if knish krinkle doesn't

Like the schmingerbread house

You made?

[ Chuckles ]

Well, he'll go into an

Incredible fit of rage, he will.

[ Sobbing ]

Oh, that was graphic.

I'm sorry.

Okay, look -- let's just look at

The pretty falling snow.

We've got lots of shopping to

Do.

Chowder: [ gasps ]

[ Twinkle! ]

Electric broccoli trimmer with

Detachable nonelectric

Cauliflower trimmer, you will be

Mine!

Mung daal: oh, there he is.

Hey, pal!

[ Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! ]

Chowder: mung, mung, I knows

What I wants for knishmas!

Mung daal: what, baby?

What is it?

[ Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! ]

Chowder: there in the

Window -- isn't it beautiful?!

[ Twinkle! ]

Mung daal: it's kind of

Pricy.

I don't have the money to buy it

This year.

Chowder: why would you buy

It?

Knish krinkle's gonna bring it

To me 'cause I've been a good

Boy.

Yes, sir.

Mung daal: oh, let's not get

Our hopes up.

[ Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! ]

Chowder: that trimmer shall

Be mine, old man!

I will go to knish krinkle, and

I will make him understand how

Much I need it!

[ Zip! ]

[ Splat! ]

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Got to...get to knish krinkle!

[ Splat! ]

Hey, pudge. Where you going?

Oops.

I mean, where are you not going?

[ Laughs ]

Chowder: I'm gonna tell

Knish krinkle what I want!

Knish krinkle?

Get your picture with

Knish krinkle himself.

Memories are made here.

$5! Who's up? Who's up?

Only babies believe in

Knish krinkle.

Chowder: nuh-unh.

Then why is he sitting in

Gazpacho's booth?

[ Zip! ]

Try my peppermint beans!

[ Zip! Zip! ]

Hot and fresh, striped like you

Like 'em!

[ Zip! Zip! Zip! Zip! ]

Chowder: no!

You are a weaver of lies!

That is knish krinkle, and I

will get my trimmer!

[ Grunting ]

Don't strain yourself, pudge.

Chowder: oh-h*-h*!

I'll never get there!

[ Rumbling ]

Both: aaaaaah!

It's the world's biggest

Knishmas tree!

Mung daal: why are you here

k*lling our knishmas spirit,

Endive?

Oh, I'm bringing my ward to

See gazpacho.

Chowder: knish krinkle!

Right. Knish krinkle.

Whatever.

Panini, hurry up!

Mama's getting cold.

Mung daal: there ain't a fire

Hot enough to roast that beef.

[ Whip! ]

Panini: chowder?!

[ Zip! ]

Oh, hey, numnums.

[ Bells ringing ]

i can hear the bells.

Can you?

Chowder: be gone, demon!

I need to concentrate on waiting

In line!

Panini: do you know what

You're asking knish krinkle for?

I know what i'm asking for.

[ Bells jingle ]

[ Smooches ]

Chowder: I'm not your

Boyfriend!

Come on, line, mo-o-o-o-ve!

Oh, honey, hadn't you noticed

Knish krinkle never makes it to

Your house?

Chowder: oh, that's because

Mung says bigfoot sneaks in and

Smashes his schmingerbread

Houses before knish krinkle gets

There.

But I'm ready for bigfoot this

Year!

[ Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ]

No, no!

It's because mung screws up his

Schmingerbread house every year.

He's a hot mess.

[ Zip! Splat! ]

Mung daal: that'll be enough!

Chowder, you didn't hear that.

Go tell gazpacho what you want.

Chowder: knish krinkle.

Mung daal: r-right.

Knish krinkle. Whatever.

Chowder: whee!

[ Crash! ]

Mung daal: woman, you are one

Giant lump of coal!

I have mad schmingerbread

Skills.

Mark my words -- this will be

Chowder's best knishmas ever!

Bah, humbug.

[ Singsong voice ] somebody

Has issues!

Mung daal: I do not!

Shnitzel: aah!

[ Crash! ]

Hey, hey! Chowder!

Chowder: how did you know my

Name?

Uh, your handsome friend

Gazpacho told me.

So, what do you want for

Knishmas, pal?

Chowder: an electric broccoli

Trimmer with detachable

Nonelectric cauliflower trimmer.

Gotcha.

Chowder: so, I'll get one?!

Sure. Why not?

Chowder: pinkie swear?

Ooh! Pinkie swear?

This is getting serious.

To be the one to disappoint

Chowder on knishmas morning?

Dear.

I have to do it -- for chowder.

I'll go after lunch.

Hey, it's mung.

[ Boing! ]

[ Door closes ]

So, mung daal, what brings

You to my humble abode?

As if it didn't know already.

[ Chomp! Chomp! ]

[ Spits ]

Mung daal: [ groans ]

[ Frog croaks ]

I'd like to buy a...

Schmingerbread...house.

Chowder: [ gasps ]

I'm sorry. What was that?

Mung daal: [ muffled ] I'd

Like to buy a schmingerbread...

House.

Could you repeat that?

And this time into the camera,

Please, for posterity.

[ Blink! ]

Mung daal: I'd like to buy a

Schmingerbread...house.

Oh, mung daal.

You have no idea how long I've

Been waiting for this moment.

I knew the day would come when

You would finally realize that I

Am the better chef.

Take your house and go.

[ Zip! ]

Next!

Chowder: no!

[ Squeak! ]

I can't let him swallow his

Pride.

It's too big to swallow.

I got to do something.

[ Bells jingling ]

[ Blink! ]

Panini: [ smooches ]

Chowder: aw, man, I thought I

Said to stay up out of my

Grille.

[ Bells jingling ]

Come on!

We got to get to knish krinkle!

He's the only one that can help

Mung!

Panini: [ thinking ] he's

Holding my hand!

Knishmas dreams do come true.

Be the dream. Live the dream.

Touch the dream. Touch it.

Chowder: got to...get...to...

Knish --

[ Splat! ]

[ Sobbing ] I can't go on!

I failed mung!

Panini: numnums?

Chowder: [ sobbing ]

Panini: hang on.

[ Snap! ]

[ Whip! ]

The power of love will get us

There.

[ Whoosh! ]

[ Ping! ]

[ Whistle! ]

Chowder: aaaaaaaaah!

You see that?

That was love power, I tell

Ya -- love power!

Now, where was i?

Oh, yeah.

Give me your wallet and no one

Gets hurt!

And so mother says, "well, if

You want more gravy on your

Cereal, you got to make it

Yourself."

Now, do I look like a guy who

Knows how to make gravy?

Well, do i?!

C-c-can I please go now?

Chowder: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Old man knish krinkle, hear my

Plea!

You got to eat mung's

Schmingerbread house and like

It -- please.

I don't want an electric

Broccoli trimmer with detachable

Nonelectric cauliflower trimmer.

I just want mung to be happy.

That's my knishmas wish.

[ Warble! ]

I can't do it anymore!

[ Sobs ]

I can't live the lie!

Look at me!

Look at the real me!

[ Zip! ]

[ Sobs ]

I don't make dreams come true.

[ Sobbing ]

Mother was right...

About everything!

[ Sobbing ]

[ Slump! ]

Chowder: oh, my gosh!

Knish krinkle just threw up

Gazpacho!

Panini: chowder, that's a

Costume.

Chowder: and now

Knish krinkle is dead!

Panini: costume, chowder --

It's a costume.

Chowder: great idea!

We can use knish krinkle's

Lifeless skin sac as a costume

And pretend we're him!

Panini: you're not even

Listening to me, are you?

Chowder: hmm.

This costume is too big.

We're gonna need a third person

To help.

[ Teeth chattering ]

[ Blink! ]

What?

[ Sleigh bells jingling ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

[ Blink! ]

Mung daal: [ sobbing ]

[ Rustling ]

[ Sloop! ]

Ugh! Ow! Watch it, chowder!

Chowder: [ grunts ] sorry.

I didn't come to be crushed

To death by you.

Panini: well, why did you

Come?

Chowder's intense body heat

Helps keep me warm.

Chowder: body heat!

My plan's perfect!

I've got it all plotted out on

This diagram right here.

[ Creak! ]

[ Grunts ]

Okay, since I can't move my

Arms, I'm gonna describe it

Instead.

It's on a white piece of paper.

I drew some lines representing

The kitchen.

I drew a blob representing us.

The stain that looks like

Marshmallow cream...

[ Blink! ]

Doesn't represent anything.

It's marshmallow cream.

First, we're gonna get rid of

The nice schmingerbread house.

Then we're gonna make a lot of

Noise and wake mung up.

Then mung will see us and think

Knish krinkle didn't like

Endive's cooking.

Then he's gonna see us eating

His house.

Then we're gonna act like it's

Super-awesome delicious.

Then he's gonna be all happy

Because he'll think

Knish krinkle likes his cooking.

Then we're gonna leave.

Then we're all gonna go to bed.

Then we're gonna get up.

The we're gonna eat some

Breakfast.

Then we should go to the

Bathroom.

Then we flush.

Then we wash our hands.

Then...

[ Gasps ]

Bleh. Bleh.

Chowder: then we're gonna get

Sick of playing with our

Presents.

Then we're gonna eat some more.

Then we're gonna play with our

Presents again.

Then we'll eat again.

Then mung's gonna tell us it's

Bedtime.

Then we're gonna beg to stay up.

Then we're gonna --

Let's get on with it already.

Why'd you kick me, chowder?

Chowder: I didn't kick you.

Okay. That's it.

i'm gonna kick you!

[ Honk! ]

Panini: ow! Gorgonzola, why'd

You do that?

That was for chowder.

Pass it on.

Panini: I'll pass you on.

Take that and that and that!

Help me! Help me!

She's gone crazy!

Chowder: children, children,

Stop it!

We have to finish the plan

Before --

[ Boing! ]

[ Gasps ]

Bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl!

Panini: [ grunting ]

Chowder: knish krinkle?!

Come on!

We got to get there before he

Does!

Mung daal: oooooooh.

Chowder: [ chomp! ]

Bl-bl-bl-bl-bl-bl!

Mung daal: chowder, why did

You eat the schmingerbread

House?!

Chowder: I couldn't let you

Do it, mung.

I couldn't let you serve up

Endive's dish.

Knishmas is supposed to make

Everyone happy.

Well, what's the point of having

A special day if it just makes

You feel like garbage -- awful,

Awful garbage?

[ Whimpers ]

Bl-bl-bl.

Mung daal: [ sniffles ]

[ Warble! ]

Oh, thank you, chowder.

I got so caught up in trying to

Do right by you that I forgot to

Do right by me.

[ Warble! ]

And that's the true meaning of

Knishmas.

Chowder: thanks for helping,

Gorgonzola.

I want you to have this coat to

Keep you warm.

I made it out of a bunch of

Wooly mammoth hairs I found in

The knish krinkle suit.

[ Sniffles ]

That's the nicest thing anyone's

Ever done for me.

Oh, I'm gonna -- gonna cry!

[ Warble! ]

Don't look at me!

Don't look at m-e-e-e-e-e!

[ Blink! ]

[ Blink! ]

Chowder: so...

[ Blink! ]

Panini: so?

[ Blink! ]

Chowder: so...

Thanks for helping.

I couldn't have done it

Without you.

Here's your present.

Merry knishmas.

[ Smooches ]

Blech! Yuck! Ew! Ew!

[ Warble! ]

[ Whistle! ]

[ Chirping ]

[ Asian-style music plays ]

Chowder: well, I guess

Everyone got what they wanted

For knishmas.

Mung daal: but what about

Your trimmer?

Chowder: oh, that's okay.

There's always next year, right?

I'll be an even better boy, and

You'll make an even better

Schmingerbread house.

That way knish krinkle will be

Happy with us all.

A year isn't really that long,

Right?

[ Creak! ]

Bleh. Bleh.

[ Warble! ]

[ Vomits ]

Chowder: a present?

[ Gasps ]

An electric broccoli trimmer

With detachable nonelectric

Cauliflower trimmer?!

I got it!

I got it!

I got it!

I got it!

I got it!

I got it!

[ Zip! ]

All: merry knishmas!

[ Boing! ]

Bleh.

See?

Wasn't that a swell story?

Don't you feel better for having

Watched it?

I know I do!

Okay. Well, have a very merry

Knishmas!
