Overview

Trish is organizing a Kids Club holiday party at which Austin and Ally will perform their original holiday song and distribute Austin Moon dolls, but a mix-up at the toy factory leads to a scramble. Meanwhile, Trish puts Dez and his arch nemesis, Chuck, through a competition to determine who will be a better Santa for the party.[2]

Episode Summary

At the start of the episode, Austin and Ally are sorting the Christmas decorations. Dez raises his arms in front of Austin and Ally with mistletoe in it. Ally says not to make them kiss as it's embarrassing. Dez says he means he says sweaty armpits from working too hard.Trish comes in and Austin asks how her meeting with the toy company went. She says she is organizing a holiday party at Shredder's Beach Club for all the kids, in hopes of being promoted to 'Party Planner.' Austin and Ally plan to perform a special new song there, as well as distribute the well-wanted Austin Moon Doll to all the kids. Dez and Chuck compete in various tasks and activities to see who will be the party's Santa, while Trish manipulates them into doing her work for her. When they do get the dolls, the delivery man turns out to be a dwarf named Larry, who Dez insists secretly works for Santa Claus, despite his adamant denial. Once the team opens the box they find the dolls come with extra long hair. They end up cutting all of the doll's extra hair off at a doll salon. Chuck and Dez have two final competitions -- who can wrap presents the fastest, and who can lug their sack of presents to the beach club first. Trish and Ally, on their way over, discover an extra Austin Moon doll; they press the button and, instead of singing Double Take, it mimics a baby before 'peeing' on Ally.

Ally and Trish attempt to stop the dolls from being distributed, but it is too late by the time that they get there -- all the kids are stunned and disappointed to see that the Austin Moon doll is not as promised. Chuck and Dez try to cheer them up by acting as Santa; they get into a fight and wreck the party set. Hazel desperately urges Trish to undo the damage caused by the mangled incorrect dolls, after they have fixed the set and Austin and Ally perform I Love Christmas, the children exclaim that the party wasn't a total bust.

As she wanted, Trish gets the promotion -- the only catch is that no extra money comes out of it, only the title and longer working hours. Dez and Chuck end the "Santa Showdown, calling it a tie. They exchange Christmas gifts and find that they've both given eachother white t-shirts with "I'M #1" on the front. Dez wonders why they are always so competitive, which Chuck replies that they should stop, though he adds that he's nicer than Dez and the two continue bickering. Austin and Ally exchange gifts and notice they're under the mistletoe again. They go in for a kiss, but are stopped when Dez's inflatable Santa costume pops and he goes flying back toward them.

The right Austin dolls finally arrive just in time, and Larry has help from a fat white man with a beard. All four notice his resemblance to Santa Claus, which Dez approaches the delivery team about it. Larry continues to deny any ties to jolly ol' St. Nick, only to turn around and have a private conversation with his co-worker (the fat white man with a beard), saying "Let's get the sleigh and get out of here, Santa. We almost blew our cover", revealing that Dez almost found out who he really was.

Trivia

  • This is the first Christmas episode of the show, since Big Dreams & Big Apples was more focused on New Years & It was Christmas only on the prologue.
  • Austin and Ally perform a new song called I Love Christmas.
  • This is Chuck's fifth appearance in the series.
  • This is Hazel's second and last appearance in the show.
  • Dez and Chuck compete against each other again to try to be the best Santa.
  • Trish is still working at Shredder's Beach Club, with Hazel as her boss.
  • Trish and Hazel mention when the pig flew and landed on Ally from the previous episode.
  • In previous episodes Ally has been seen dancing badly, but when she was performing "I Love Christmas" with Austin, she is seen dancing well, showing she may have learned how to dance.

Goofs

  • In Family & Feuds, when Austin, Ally, Trish, Didi, Dennis, and Donna play a trick on Dez and Chuck, they are trying to break up the feud between the McCoys and Dez's family and it works, with Dez and Chuck becoming friends. However, in this episode, they have a 'Santa Showdown' and they are still competing. This goof is, however, fixed in the episode Proms & Promises, when it's revealed that Chuck broke up with Didi to date Sun Hee, and it's likely to assume Dez and Chuck resumed their rivalry after the fact.
  • After the Austin Doll pees on Ally, there's no wet spot on her shirt.
  • When Dez and Chuck crash the set for the party, if you look closely to the sky it shook a little when a prop hit it.
