It's Christmas Eve, and Blaze and the gang are helping out at Santa's workshop, doing various things.
|
All

(cheering and laughter)
|
Stripes

Rawwr! Hoo-hoo-hoo! (grabs some firewood)
|
Zeg
|
ZEEE-E-E-EG!!! (kicks the wood into the fireplace, starting the fire)

Starla

She tosses the stockings onto the fireplace with her lasso.
|
Darington

Pickle decorates the Christmas tree.
|
Pickle
|
(giggles)
|
Watts
|
Electric… CHARGE!!! (uses her electricity to turn on the lights)
|
Blaze
|
Tree topper, comin' up!
|
|
He leaps up and puts the star on the top of the tree.
|
Blaze
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
AJ
|
Yeah-heh!
|
|
They approach the sleigh, where AJ dismounts.
|
AJ
|
Hey, check it out! It's Christmastime!
|
Blaze
|
We're in the North Pole, helping someone special get ready for his big trip around the world. It's…
|
Santa
|
(offscreen) Ho ho ho! (flips into view)
|
All
|
SANTA!!!
|
|
(Santa expertly flips down to them.)
|
All
|
(cheering)
|
Darington
|
Great news, Santa! Everything's ready for Christmas!
|
AJ
|
Yeah! The decorations are hung…
|
Gabby
|
(giggles) The reindeer have been fed…
|
Reindeer 1
|
Mmm!
|
Zeg
|
And sleigh full of presents! (flips down from the sleigh)
|
Santa
|
Ho ho! That’s wonderful. Now there’s only one thing left to do-- we need to check… my list!
|
|
The list magically unfolds and lists several trucks, along with three stars beside many of them.
|
All
|
Ooooh.../Wow!
|
Santa
|
Ho ho ho ho… this is the list of everyone who's getting presents on Christmas!
|
Crusher
|
(barges forward) Presents?! Did someone say "presents"!!?! (giggles) I LOVE presents!!!!
|
Blaze
|
Hey, Santa. What are all those stars for?
|
Santa
|
Ah. Those, Blaze, are kindness stars. Whenever a person does something kind, they earn a star on my list.
|
AJ
|
(sees Blaze's picture and stars) Ooh, look! That's you, Blaze!
|
Blaze
|
Yeah! Let's see how many kindness stars I have. Count with me. One... two... three! Three stars!
|
Santa
|
Ho ho! Congratulations, Blaze! Earning three stars means you get a present on Christmas!
|
Others
|
(cheering)
|
AJ
|
Way to go, Blaze!
|
Blaze
|
Thanks, everyone! But I'm not the only one with three kindness stars. Look, AJ!
|
|
AJ's picture is also on the list.
|
Blaze
|
You've got three stars, too!
|
|
Shows the following:
|
Blaze
|
And so does Watts... and Gabby... and Stripes... Darington... Starla... Zeg... and Pickle!
|
Pickle
|
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!
|
Crusher
|
Ha! I bet I have more kindness stars than anyone!
|
Pickle
|
Oh, sure, Crusher! You probably did lots of kind things this year.
|
Crusher
|
(scoffs and giggles) Outta my way, Pickle. Here comes my picture! (drives up to the list) Ha! I've got...
|
|
Crusher's picture appears, completely greyscale with...
|
Crusher
|
Zero stars! (giggles; realizing...) ZERO stars?!?! Oh, no!!!!! B-but that means... (starting to bawl) I... I'm not gonna get a present on Christmas!!! (cries loudly)
|
Santa
|
There, there, Crusher. It's all right. After all, there's still time to earn your kindness stars.
|
Crusher
|
(sniffs) There is?
|
Santa
|
Of course! You just have to do three kind things before Christmas.
|
Crusher
|
Oh... but Santa, I don't know if I can!
|
Blaze
|
Sure you can, Crusher!
|
AJ
|
Yeah! We can help you earn those kindness stars!
|
Santa
|
So, Crusher? What do you say?
|
Crusher
|
Well, I say... let's do it! Time to show the world that Crusher can be kind!
|
|
They leave.
|
All others
|
(cheering)
|
Santa
|
Good luck, Crusher!
|
All others
|
(cheering)
|
|
Travel song starts.
|
Blaze and AJ
|
Whoa...
Let's Blaze! (Instrumental) Let's Blaze! (Instrumental) Let's Blaze! (Instrumental) Let's Blaze! (Instrumental)
|
|
Song ends.
|
Blaze
|
Remember, Crusher: To get on Santa's list, you have to do three kind things before Christmas.
|
Crusher
|
Ooh! I've got an idea! Maybe there's something kind I can do over here!
|
|
He falls right off a cliff.
|
Crusher
|
YAAAAAAHHHHHHHHGGGHHHHH!!!
|
|
He stops in front of an egg in the snow.
|
Crusher
|
That's weird.
|
AJ
|
Crusher, what did you find?
|
Crusher
|
I-it looks like... an egg! But... eggs have baby birds inside! And baby birds belong in nests! Not in the snow!
|
Blaze
|
Hmm... let's see if we can find the egg's parents.
|
AJ
|
Switching to Visor View.
|
|
He deploys his visor; cut to a visor shot of the forest ahead.
|
AJ
|
Look carefully. When you see birds, say "Birds."
|
|
After some time, two birds are spotted near a giant Christmas tree; viewer responds.
|
AJ
|
Birds!
|
Red bird
|
Tweet!
|
Blue bird
|
Tweet-tweet, tweet-tweet!
|
Blaze
|
Gaskets! Those birds must be the little egg's mom and dad!
|
Blue bird
|
Tweet!
|
AJ
|
They sound worried!
|
Red bird
|
Tweet!
|
Crusher
|
Oh, poor little egg. Someone really oughta take you home.
|
Blaze
|
Crusher, that's a great idea!
|
Crusher
|
I-it is?
|
AJ
|
Yeah! We can take the little egg home!
|
Blaze
|
Come on, Crusher! This way!
|
|
They drive.
|
Crusher
|
Ha-ha! Look at me! I'm doin' it! I'm bringin' the egg back to its nest! Nothing's gonna stop me now!
|
|
Or can something? Growling and laughing is heard.
|
Crusher
|
Except maybe those... JINGLE BEARS!!
|
|
A whole horde of them burst out of the snowbanks behind them and give chase.
|
Crusher
|
AGH!!
|
AJ
|
Oh, man! These jingle bears are fast!
|
|
Indeed they are.
|
Blaze
|
Let's count to see how many are chasing us. Count with me. One, two, three, four, five, six!
|
Crusher
|
Six?! Oh, that's a lot of jingle bears!
|
AJ
|
Hey, I've got an idea! Look!
|
|
Up ahead is a chocolate river with a ramp in front.
|
AJ
|
Maybe we can get away from some if we jump over that chocolate river!
|
Blaze
|
Yeah! C'mon, Crusheer, let's go for it!
|
Crusher
|
(gulps) Hang on, little egg...!
|
|
They jump.
|
Blaze, Crusher
|
(cheering, yelping respectively)
|
Crusher
|
Look, eggy! We made it!
|
|
Four jingle bears make it over as well; but the last two don't have much luck and splash into the chocolate.
|
AJ
|
Look! Some of the jingle bears didn't make it!
|
Blaze
|
There were six bears, but two of 'em didn't make it across the river. Let's count how many are left. Count with me. One, two, three, four!
|
|
One of the bears laughs.
|
AJ
|
Quick! Let's see if the jingle bears can't follow us down a big, snowy hill!
|
|
One is up ahead.
|
Crusher
|
Okay, egg. Here goes nothing!
|
|
They jump on giant peppermints and ride downhill.
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher
|
(cheering, yelping respectively)
|
|
They reach the bottom.
|
AJ
|
All right!
|
Blaze
|
Way to go, Crusher!
|
|
The jingle bears ride downhill as well; only two of them don't make it and end up in snowballs.
|
AJ
|
And look! Two more jingle bears fell in the snow! Let's see how many bears are still chasing us. Count with me. One, two!
|
Blaze
|
Just two jingle bears left!
|
|
They snicker.
|
Crusher
|
Agh!! But they're right behind us!
|
Blaze
|
Hang on, Crusher! I don't think think those jingle bears can follow us through... a giant loop-de-loop!
|
|
He spots one ahead.
|
Crusher
|
Whoa...! That's really big! But I've gotta do it, for you, little eggy!
|
Blaze
|
Whooooo-hoo-hoo!!!
|
|
They loop right through.
|
Crusher
|
(yelling loudly)
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh!
|
AJ
|
You did it, Crusher!
|
|
The bears try to loop, but only make it partway and fall.
|
Crusher
|
Look! The jingle bears didn't make it through the loop-de-loop!
|
|
Tweeting is heard.
|
Blaze
|
And check out who's over there!
|
|
Up ahead is the tree where the birds are found.
|
Crusher
|
It's the little egg's parents!
|
Red bird
|
Tweet-tweet! Twee-ee-eet!
|
Crusher
|
Here you go, birds. This belongs to you.
|
|
He puts the egg in the nest.
|
Red bird
|
Tweet, tweet, tweet! (hugs it)
|
AJ
|
All right!
|
Blaze
|
You did it, Crusher! You brought their egg back!
|
Crusher
|
Huh. I guess I did. Well... so long, eggy. I just wish I can be here when you finally --
|
|
To his surprise, the egg wiggles.
|
Crusher
|
(gasps) Hatch! (giggles)
|
|
It hatches, revealing the baby bird.
|
Baby bird
|
(yawns) Tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet-tweet!
|
Bird parents
|
(excited tweeting)
|
Baby bird
|
Twee-ee-eet!
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher
|
Aww!
|
Crusher
|
Baby bird, you're so cute!
|
|
The baby bird kisses him.
|
Crusher
|
(giggles) You're welcome, little guy!
|
|
The birds leave; AJ's tablet rings.
|
AJ
|
Hey, look! We're getting a call!
|
|
Santa is on the other line.
|
Santa
|
Ho-ho-ho!
|
AJ
|
It's Santa!
|
Crusher
|
Santa?!
|
Santa
|
Hello, Crusher! There's something I thought you should see...
|
|
On the list, a star lights up next to Crusher's picture.
|
Crusher
|
(giggles) I did it! I got my first kindness star!
|
Santa
|
Congratulations, Crusher! Bringing that egg home was very kind!
|
Pickle
|
This is great! You just need two more stars!
|
Santa
|
You can do it, Crusher! I believe in you!
|
|
The call ends.
|
Crusher
|
Whoa... I hope Santa's right...!
|
Blaze
|
(As AJ rebounds) Don't worry, Crusher. We'll help you earn those stars.
|
AJ
|
Yeah! You can count on us!
|
|
They go on their way; STEM song starts.
|
Blaze
|
(singing offscreen:) Count three snowballs in that snowman
|
AJ
|
Four penguins waving hi
|
Blaze, AJ
|
How many snowflakes are falling?
|
Crusher
|
I don't think ANYONE can count THAT high!
|
Blaze
|
Count five yummy candy canes
|
AJ
|
Twelve ornaments on the tree
|
Blaze, AJ
|
Count seven (seven), cookies (cookies)
|
Crusher
|
I sure hope one of them's for me!!!
|
Blaze, AJ
|
Yeah, now we're, (one, two, three) counting Christmas (four, five, six) Yeah we're (seven, eight, nine) counting Christmas (ten, eleven) Start at the first
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher
|
Stop at the last
|
Blaze, AJ
|
Count each object once, how many is that? Yeah we're, (one, two, three) counting Christmas (four, five, six) Yeah we're (seven, eight, nine)
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher
|
Counting Christmas (ten, eleven)
|
Blaze, AJ
|
Having so much fun
|
Crusher
|
And trying our best!
|
Blaze, AJ
|
Yeah, now we're, (one, two, three) counting
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher
|
Counting Christmas!
|
|
Song ends. Some time later, barking is heard.
|
Crusher
|
Hey, do you hear that?
|
|
They reach a decorated doghouse.
|
AJ
|
Ooh, look over there! That dog's decorating his house for Christmas!
|
Blaze
|
Whoa, check out that great big stocking he made! It's got pictures on it of doggy treats, and doggy snowmen, even a doggy Santa!
|
Crusher
|
(scoffs) Looks like that pup's gonna have a merry Christmas.
|
|
The wind blows; the dog is worried. The gust picks up long enough to carry the stocking with it.
|
AJ
|
Oh, no! The wind just blew his stocking away!
|
Blaze
|
And it's headed for the top of that gingerbread mountain!
|
|
It lands at the top; the dog is sad.
|
Crusher
|
Aww. It's okay, little fella. I-I bet one day, someone'll climb up there and get your stocking back.
|
Blaze
|
Crusher, you're a genius!
|
Crusher
|
I am?
|
AJ
|
Yeah! We can climb up and get the stocking back!
|
Crusher
|
Gee, I-I guess we could, but I...
|
|
The dog barks in agreement.
|
Blaze
|
Come on, everyone! This way!
|
|
They reach the mountain.
|
AJ
|
Whoa... that's a big gingerbread mountain!
|
Crusher
|
Okay, stand back, everyone! I've got this!
|
|
He jumps on one of the shaped candy rocks.
|
Crusher
|
See? Haha! What did I tell ya? I'm great at climbing --
|
|
Suddenly, the candy shakes and breaks into pieces; he falls.
|
Crusher
|
(yelps loudly; mumbles tiredly)
|
|
He bumps into a sign exposing the red square on it.
|
Blaze
|
Hey, look! There's a sign with instructions on it! It says to go up Gingerbread Mountain, we have to climb on the candy shaped like squares.
|
Blaze
|
Help us look. When you see a candy shaped like a square, say "Square."
|
|
The view pans up the mountain for some time. After a while, a square appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze
|
Square! This way, Crusher! Whooooo-hoo-hoo!!!
|
|
They jump on the square.
|
Crusher
|
(yelps)
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh! Come on, let's look for another square so we can climb higher. When you see a square, say "Square."
|
|
Time passes, a square appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze
|
Square! Follow me, Crusher! Whoo-hoo!
|
|
They jump and land.
|
Crusher
|
Whee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
|
AJ
|
Nice jump, everyone!
|
Crusher
|
(gasps) And look! We've almost made it to the little dog's stocking!
|
Blaze
|
We just need to go a little higher. Look carefully. When you see a square, say "Square."
|
|
Time passes, one more square appears; viewer responds.
|
Blaze
|
Square! Yeah!
|
Crusher
|
Ulp... that's gonna take a big jump... but I've gotta try!
|
AJ
|
Go for it, Crusher!
|
|
He bounces up to the square.
|
Crusher
|
Ya-hah-hay!
|
|
He jumps one more time...
|
Crusher
|
I... GOT IT!!!
|
|
...and grabs the stocking!
|
Blaze
|
Yeah-heh!
|
AJ
|
Way to go!
|
Blaze
|
Now, let's get this stocking back to the puppy!
|
|
They jump back down; Blaze honks signalling to the dog their return.
|
Crusher
|
(singy-songy) Hey, puppy! Look what we've got!
|
|
He puts the stocking back in place.
|
Crusher
|
Your stocking!
|
|
The dog is happy and licks him a kiss.
|
Crusher
|
(giggles) Aww! (giggles more) You're welcome, little guy!
|
|
AJ's tablet rings; he dismounts.
|
AJ
|
Look! We're getting another call!
|
|
It is...
|
Crusher
|
(gasps) Santa!
|
Santa
|
Ho ho ho! Take a look, Crusher!
|
|
Another star is filled in.
|
Santa
|
For helping that puppy, you've earned another kindness star! Well done! But to earn that last star, you'll have to hurry!
|
Pickle
|
Ah! Santa's right, Crusher! It's almost Christmas!
|
Crusher
|
Almost Christmas?! (as AJ reboards) Blaze, you've gotta help me!! If I don't earn that last kindness star, I'll never get a present from -- !
|
Offscreen voice
|
(singy-songy) Santa?!!
|
Blaze
|
Hang on, Crusher. Look over there!
|
|
Up ahead is a baby reindeer.
|
AJ
|
It's a little reindeer!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Santa?!!
|
|
They drive over.
|
Blaze
|
Hey there, little reindeer. What'cha doin'?
|
Baby Reindeer
|
I'm trying to find Santa's workshop. I'm gonna help pull his sleigh and deliver presents for Christmas!
|
Blaze
|
Aww, that's nice!
|
Crusher
|
(to Blaze) Too bad Santa's workshop's on the other side of the North Pole!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
(gasps) You know how to get to Santa's workshop?! Can you take me there?!
|
Crusher
|
(mumbles a bit) I guess I could try... Climb aboard, little reindeer!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! (hops in his trunk) Ya-a-ay!
|
Blaze
|
Next stop: Santa's workshop!
|
|
They begin the return journey.
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Whee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!
|
|
They drive across some ice.
|
Crusher
|
(yelping loudly)
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Yeah-heh-heh!
|
AJ
|
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Wow, there it is...!
|
|
Up on the hill is...
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Santa's workshop!
|
Crusher
|
See? What did I tell ya, little reindeer?
|
|
Storm clouds rumble overhead.
|
Crusher
|
All we've gotta do now is follow the candy cane road and --
|
|
Giant snowballs fall from the clouds.
|
Blaze
|
Crusher, look out!!
|
Crusher
|
(yelps)
|
|
He is dragged back to Blaze by his tow hook; the snowballs splat hard.
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Uh-oh! It's... a snowball storm!!
|
AJ
|
Those are some big snowballs!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
(worried sigh) I don't think I'll ever get to Santa's workshop, now!
|
Crusher
|
Hey, don't give up, little reindeer. I said I was gonna get you to Santa, and I'm gonna get you to Santa!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Great! So what do we do?
|
Crusher
|
Uh, Blaze? What do we do?
|
Blaze
|
I know! We can smash those giant snowballs with these! (picks up a candy cane in the snow) Candy canes!
|
|
He demonstrates by jumping and swatting the candy cane at a falling snowball, destroying it.
|
Crusher
|
Wow!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Cool!
|
Blaze
|
Come on, Crusher! Grab a candy cane and let's get smashin'!
|
Crusher
|
Oh-ho, yeah!
|
|
He does so and they drive; the clouds rumble.
|
AJ
|
Look out! Six snowballs heading this way!
|
Crusher
|
Ooh! Blaze! Since there's two of us, let's smash two snowballs at a time!
|
Blaze
|
Good idea, Crusher! Count by twos with us. Repeat after me.
|
|
They jump up and smash them, two at a time.
|
Blaze, Crusher
|
Two, four, six!
|
Crusher
|
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
That was amazing!
|
|
More rumbling.
|
AJ
|
Uh-oh! Here come eight more snowballs!
|
Blaze
|
Help us smash two snowballs at a time. Count by twos with us.
|
|
They smash them.
|
Blaze Crusher
|
Two, four, six, eight!
|
Crusher
|
Ha-ha!
|
AJ
|
All ri-i-ight!
|
Crusher
|
We're doing it, little reindeer! We've almost made it through the storm!
|
|
More thunder.
|
Baby Reindeer
|
(gasps) But be careful, Crusher! That looks like ten snowballs!
|
Blaze
|
Help us smash 'em. Count by twos with us.
|
|
They smash the snowballs.
|
Blaze Crusher
|
Two, four, six, eight, ten!
|
Crusher
|
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
|
|
The clouds clear up; it is now nighttime.
|
Blaze
|
We did it, Crusher! We made it past the snowball storm!
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Awesome!
|
Crusher
|
Y'see, little reindeer? I told you we could get to Santa's workshop before --
|
|
Bells are heard ringing.
|
Crusher
|
(gasps) CHRISTMAS!!
|
AJ
|
We've gotta hurry! The bells ring when it's almost time for Santa to deliver the presents!
|
Blaze
|
Looks like we're gonna need... Blazing Speed!
|
|
He deploys the engine and fires it up; he infuses Crusher with its energy.
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Whoa!
|
Crusher
|
Whoo-hoo!
|
Blaze
|
To give us Blazing Speed, say "Leeeet's Blaze!"
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher, Baby Reindeer
|
Leeeeeet's Blaaaaaaze!!!!!
|
|
They unleash the speed and zoom right for the workshop.
|
Blaze, AJ, Crusher, Baby Reindeer
|
(various cheering and laughing)
|
|
In the workshop, the sleigh is being prepared.
|
Santa
|
Well, reindeer, we'd better get going.
|
|
Blaze's horn sounds from outside.
|
Pickle
|
Santa, wait! Look!
|
|
The door opens, letting them in.
|
Pickle
|
They're back!!
|
All others
|
(cheering)
|
Santa
|
Ho ho ho ho! Merry Christmas, friends!
|
Blaze
|
Merry Christmas, Santa!
|
Crusher
|
Ooh-ooh-ooh, Santa! B-before you leave, there's someone I want you to meet.
|
|
He lets off the baby reindeer.
|
Santa
|
Well, hello there, little reindeer.
|
Baby Reindeer
|
Santa, do you think I could help pull your sleigh?
|
Santa
|
Ho ho! Why of course you can! Welcome to the team!
|
|
The adult reindeer cheer.
|
Baby Reindeer
|
You hear that, Crusher? Thanks to you, I'm gonna be on Santa's sleigh team! You're the kindest Monster Machine I know!
|
Crusher
|
(giggles as they hug)
|
|
Twinkling is heard; Crusher's last star is lighting up.
|
Blaze
|
(gasps) Crusher, look! Something's happening to the list!
|
|
All of the stars are filled in; Crusher's picture becomes colorful.
|
Blaze
|
You've earned...your last kindness star!
|
All
|
(cheering)
|
Crusher
|
Ha-ha! I did it! Oh, thank you, Santa!
|
Santa
|
Congratulations, Crusher! I'm proud of you!
|
Gabby
|
Hey, Santa? Shouldn't you get going?
|
Stripes
|
Yeah, you don't wanna be late delivering presents for Christmas!
|
Santa
|
Ho ho ho! That's true! But first, I've got an idea. What do you say we all deliver the presents this year?!
|
All
|
(cheering happily)
|
Darington
|
Let's do it!!!
|
|
Santa's sleigh takes off with Blaze's gang leading the way; a song plays as they deliver presents.
