leave me alone. It's not,
you took too long. -HAILEY: It's my turn, my turn.
-Kelis. -JAXX: No, it's not.
-Hey, b
aby. -Hey, mama.
-Come on, Hailey it's my turn. You're not old enough
to play this game. Yes, I am.
It's rated E for everyone. -No, it's rated EEJ.
-What's EEJ? "Everyone Except Jaxx." -It's my turn.
-Give it to me. Hey, hey, hey. Where's my hug? [chuckles] Mama, thank you
so much for watching them. I can't tell you
how much I can't get done with the two of them
bickering all the time. Baby, go on,
do your Christmas shopping, -I got this.
-Okay. The two of you
better behave. -It's mine. Give it.
-I saw it first. Wait, wait, wait. Hey. Good luck. Now, listen, you two
know you can't come up in grandma's house
misbehaving. -He started it.
-Nah-ah, she did. Listen, if you two
don't stop all that fighting, Alternis is
gonna come visit you. -Who's Alternis?
-Who's Alternis? Sit down there. Then I'm gonna
tell y'all who Alternis is. Alternis, the forgotten
Christmas spirit. It's kinda
like the ghost of Christmas, past, present, and future. But instead of visiting
Scrooges of the world, he vis
its brothers and sisters
that can't get along. What happens
when he visits? Ooh, he performs
a special magic. [both] Oh. Now you two may see this magic
if you don't cut it out. Just like
the family in this book. Now let's just see
how the story goes. "Alternis, the Forgotten
Christmas Spirit. Our story takes place one week before Christmas in the halls
of Thatcher Prep Academy. The hallway was filled
with a bunch of kids. Kinda like that..." [school bell ringing] TESSIA:
Good morning, Thatche
r Prep. This is your
vice principal Miss Vaughn. We have an exciting week leading up
to Christmas vacation. First and foremost,
study, study, study. Final exams
are coming up this week fast. Emily,
are you still studying? We have to go
over the sleepover details. Okay. Okay. I'm coming. Shh! TESSIA:
The boys' varsity team will be taking on
their arch rival Garnet Catholic school in the Annual
Christmas Classic game this Friday night. [whistle blowing] Way to put
the moves on Bran
don. That's what
I'm talking about. TESSIA:
We also have the Christmas science
fair competition coming up. Students of all ages
are allowed to participate. Warm up
those Bunsen burners, you mad scientists. [laughing] Look, baby Aiden still believes
in Santa Claus. -[all laughing]
-No, I don't. Oh, my God, we totally
have to watch The Notebook. It's like this really old
classic rom movie. I think it was
made in, like 2000. That's not
black and white, is it? Ew. No, not that old. What abou
t a Christmas movie? I guess we can
sneak in Mean Girls. That's not
really what I had in mind. Last but not least,
don't forget to hand in your permission slips
for this year's yuletide ball. We'll be crowning
our Mr. and Mrs. Claus. There's my Mrs. Claus. Dude, dream on. Next to your step-sister,
Vanessa's literally the most
popular girl in school. She-- she's not
my stepsister yet. -Those crowns are ours.
-Right. But first, you gotta
ask her to the dance. Watch this. Hey, Vanessa.
I was just
wondering-- Get lost. [laughs loudly] What's going on? Get in here. Your brother's
such a nerd. [exhales sharply]
Yeah, okay. Okay. Hey, Vanessa,
just doing some stretches before the big game. [chuckles] Sure, I'll make
the game winning shot for you. Did you also
happen to read the latest chapter
to Lord of The Flies for English class? Crazy stuff, right? I mean, what does that
even say about our society? [sighs] Dude,
what cool girl wants to talk about
a homework assignment. [exhales sharply,
clears throat] What's up Vanessa? You wanna
make a TikTok vid? How about we go
to the janitors' make-out closet
on the first floor. -[clears throat]
-Mom. Make out closet?
Thanks for letting me know. -I'll be shutting that down.
-What? No, you can't. Don't care,
now, get ready for dinner and don't start
another Game Boy. Mom, Game Boys
haven't been a thing since you were a kid. Whatever it's called.
X-Cube, Play Box, Sega. Sega? Put a shirt on
and get downstairs. Mom, please, do not
shut down th
e make out closet. You told your mom? God. You and your sister
are freaks. [door bangs shut] [playful, magical
instrumental playing] I'm sorry, what? We're officially
tying the knot. Tying the knot as in? They're getting
married, you idiot. -Emily.
-I know what they're saying. I'm just making sure. How about you make sure to stop
blabbing all of our secrets -to your mom?
-Guys. I told you
it wasn't my fault. You betrayed us all.
You know what you're like? -You're like--
-Benedict Arnold. Who's t
hat? He betrayed
the Continental Army to join the British
in the American revolution. So in other words,
you left the students to side with the parents. -Not a good look, bro.
-Yeah. What he said. All right.
Enough, hmm? What's gotten into you two? I'm sorry, Daddy.
I'm happy for you. Brandon,
I'm sensing you're upset. Stop trying
to read my mind. Brandon. What a shame
Benedict Arnold turning his back
on his new family so soon. [playful
instrumental music playing] I don't know,
maybe he needs mo
re time to get used to all of this,
us moving in together, us getting engaged. I don't know.
I don't know. I feel like--
like, are we rushing this? Hey, hey, hey,
no second guesses, okay? They're our kids,
they'll see how happy we are. And don't try
to psych me, Joseph. I thought
you loved my psychic abilities. [chuckles] Oh, you know,
by the way, my sister Tracie
texts me and she says she's gonna
come in this weekend instead of Christmas Eve. -Oh, really?
-Mm-hmm. Is that a problem? -No, no, no
t at all.
-Okay, good. Because you know she
really just needs family time. I mean, this breakup
is really hard for her. Of course. Love her. Wouldn't
have it any other way. Okay. [Tessia speaking indistinctly] JOSEPH: Of course. I just can't believe
this is happening. Sometimes people
aren't meant to be together. Sorry. Oh, no. [soft instrumental playing] Even they can't get along. None of us can. I have to think of a way
to get us all to stay together. [tapping] ♪♪♪ Morning, Dad. What's up? Mm-
mm. Hey, Dad,
just checking to see when you're
picking me up on Christmas Eve. Also, my big
game's Friday night, maybe you could come? Just let me know. [sighs] I wish
you were still here, Mom. Especially, so I
don't have to deal with him. Keep it down. [sighs] It's like they came
and took over everything. -[knocking on door]
-TESSIA: Emily? -Is it okay if I come in?
-Sure. -Is everything okay?
-Fine. What do you need
Principal Vaughn? You know, you don't
have to call me that anymore. Yeah, well
,
"Mom" isn't an option and my father
always taught me it's rude to call an adult
by their first name, so... All right then... So listen,
I was wondering if it'd be okay if my sister
stayed in your room? Sure. Not like I have a choice. [knocking] Oh, this is-- this is girls talk. Okay. I'm gonna go. Don't forget Curtis is coming
over for dinner tonight. I remember, -your college buddy, right?
-Yes. Do you think we can
introduce him to my sister? Maybe. Maybe. Hold that thought. You, pretty girl,
ready in five? Yes, Daddy. [imitating Emily]
Yes, Daddy. [sentimental
instrumental playing] [playful instrumental playing] Note, color change
from crimson red to violet. Now, for the test
to see if this formula will truly make me
like something I hate. [sighs]
Here goes nothing. [gulps] Give it a moment
to settle, then... nope, still
don't like it. [sighs] Getting everyone
together by Christmas is a failed experiment. I'll just think
of something else to do for science fair. It'll take
a Christ
mas miracle for me
to get this to work. Maybe there's another way. JOSEPH: Aiden,
come on bud. We gotta go. [electricity buzzing] [playful instrumental playing] [magic tinkling] ♪♪♪ -My man.
-Yeah. -Whoo!
-[laughs] -So good to see you, man.
-Man. You still remember
every move, don't you? Yes, sir. Now, I gotta warn you, Tess is gonna try to hook
you up with her sister. Oh, what we talking? She's--
she's interesting. How interesting? Like a woman
I never met before and I'll be captivated? Just in
teresting. How she look? I'll let you be
the judge of that. -It's good to see you, man.
-You, too. I just don't get why I
can't spend Christmas with Dad. Because your father-- he's a busy man. But it's Christmas. Well, you
do have a family here who wants
to spend Christmas with you. Who? The doctor,
Little Miss Sunshine, and the nerd? Pass. [chuckle] Okay. Well, you can think
what you want about them, but your soon-to-be-stepfather, he truly cares about you. And you could at least
be cordial wit
h him, hmm? Make that
my Christmas gift? Can't I just get you, like,
a fruit cake or something? Oh, sweetheart. Nobody likes fruit cake. [playful instrumental playing] I just think
you two would get along. I'm not
too sure about that. Your fiancé
hasn't exactly sold me. -Oh, really?
-[Joseph coughing] I just haven't gone
in detail just yet. Trust me,
Tracie is a real catch. See? Aren't you a little too old
to be reading fairy tales? It's not a fairy tale,
it's real encounter with a Christmas fai
ry
called Alternis. Alternis?
More like Al-bogus. [Brandon laughs] You can't
laugh at that, only I can. Whatever you say,
Wicked Witch of the West. Don't laugh at him. Hey, you two, enough. You guys know better. Can I be excused?
I'm not hungry. No, eat
your food first, man. It's okay, honey.
You can be excused. No, I don't want
you guys to fight I'll eat. Fight? What are you
talking about, Aiden? I heard you guys say that you
didn't belong together. We weren't talking
about us, we were talking
about Aunt Tracie. [with mouth full]
See? All done. Thanks for dinner. You see what y'all did? [magical instrumental playing] "Alternis,
I call upon thee to bring us
Christmas joy-ingly. This is no time
for pout. We need to see what your Christmas spirit
is all about. Perhaps we need
to be rearranged for all of us
to finally change." [magic tinkling] [door bangs] [banging on door] Hello? [screams] Shh, sorry,
sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, kid. I didn't mean
to frighten you. For I was called upon,
and now I am here. [magic tinkling] You're Alternis. Right you are. I'm the forgotten
spirit of Christmas. The B-list celebrity
of spirits, so to speak. Well, everyone knows about Christmas
past, present and future, but everyone always forgets
about poor old Alternis. This is crazy. No, this is
more than crazy. This is
completely illogical. Hey, hey. You're the one
who called me here, kid. Oh, what's this? What are you doing? This is the answer
to your prayers. Once I mix these two, you'll all
see
from each other's perspective and hopefully,
it'll open your eyes to the true meaning
of Christmas. But it's not me,
it's my-- I call it
my "Merry Little Switchmas." Now, before I do this, I, of course,
must read a little disclaimer. [magic tinkling] It's for the lawyers. "Merry Little Switchmas
is a voluntary method of getting one's family members
into the spirit of Christmas by switching them. In no way, shape or form
is Alternis," that's me, "responsible
for any bodily harm that comes to
any
of the participants as that falls
upon the wisher," that's you, "and any other emotional drama
that this may cause. All participants
will remain in the bodies of the ones they switch with
until they finally realize how to treat each other
with love and respect and most all enjoy
the Christmas holiday. All participants
have until morning to switch back
or they'll remain in each other's body--" Here! What was that about
not being able to switch back? Oh, come on, kid. Are you really gonna
make
me read all that again? Remember,
I got it in with the big guy. -Santa Claus is real?
-[laughing] Santa, is he real? You believe this kid? Of course, he's real. Now, let's get
this show on the road. Wait, how will I know
if it worked? Oh, trust me.
You'll know. Wait, can you switch it
with, like, a dog or a cat? I think that'd
be really funny. Sorry, kid, humans only. Here we go. -Wait!
-ALTERNIS: What? What? Will it hurt? -Maybe.
-What? Good luck, kid.
I'm rooting for you. [magic whooshing] [A
iden coughing] Dude, this is
why Mom said no science experiments
in the house. EMILY: Aiden! [all coughing] Oh, my gosh. It worked. What worked?
Wait, why do I sound like-- One crazy dream. I don't think
this is a dream. -Aiden, what did you do?
-I didn't do anything. Yeah. What's going on? He made some crazy
science experiment, now we switched bodies
with each other. Oh, I feel so strange. That's the sense
of your body being clean. I shower twice a week. Aiden, switch us back now. I can't.
I do
n't know how. What do you mean? You did it,
so just, like, undo it. It's not that easy. So then what?
Are we just stuck like this? For now,
I think so. I don't feel so good. Oh, my stomach
is in knots. Oh, this is awful. Welcome to being a woman. It passes, only lasts
seven excruciating days. -What?
-If you won't try then I will. Emily stop.
Don't touch any of that. [calm
instrumental music playing] ♪♪♪ So Dad-- Mr. Kingsley. -Mr. Kingsley?
-Sorry. Joseph, what's
on your agenda for today? I didn
't realize you found
psychology so interesting. I don't. Emily, shouldn't you go finish getting
ready for school? I am ready. [screaming] You better get
back upstairs and fix my-- I mean, yourself. You are not
going to school like that. Hey, don't talk
to your sister like that. Yeah, Aiden,
don't talk to me like that. I'm just nervous you're
ruining your perfect complexity and getting
your hair in knots. I don't care
about personal appearances. Society shouldn't tell me
what I need to look like.
That's right, Emily. When did you start
caring about that? I don't,
I just know that Emily has a reputation to uphold
and I don't want it ruined. Emily, why don't you
at least go wash your face, and Aiden, you should
take it down a notch. TESSIA: All right,
everybody out in five. Hey! [Emily belches] Bye, Dad. I mean, Mr. Kingsley--
I mean, Joseph. B-- bye. [playful instrumental playing] Emily in the Twilight Zone? Stop, you're
gonna poke my eye. Stop.
Stay still. Geez. Emily. I can't ruin
my r
eputation, okay? TESSIA: Come on,
guys, let's go! [playful instrumental playing] Hey. Hold on a sec, okay? I just wanted
to make sure you were okay after our conversation
about your dad. Okay. I know this all must be
really hard for you, sweetie, but I hope you can enjoy
your Christmas with us. Yeah, I could do that. Okay. [chuckles] [playful instrumental playing] [school bell ringing] Okay, Emily,
you need to latch onto someone who looks
like the biggest nerd in here, beside yourself. Kingsley.
What are you doing
sitting at my desk? I should have known,
it smells like a loser. [students laughing] You better get up now
before I make you. Oh, I gotta get up,
but it may take me a week to wash
this stench off my body. [students laughing] Gregory, Aiden,
I've had enough of you two constantly fighting. And I'm tired
of the apologies because you both
really don't mean it. -But--
-A butt is what you two
needed to be sitting on. No, as an important lesson,
you are to work together for the scie
nce fair
competition and that's final. And Aiden,
I trust you'll catch Gregory up to speed
with whatever you have planned. [suspenseful music playing] -Hi Brandon.
-Hi Brandon. -Hey, Brandon.
-Hi. Oh, yes. -KID: What's up?
-Oh, yeah. [chuckles] Gotcha. Okay, Brandon. I think it would be
so cool if you asked Brandon to the yuletide ball. You guys would look
so cute together. Perfect timing. Brandon, what
a coincidence to see you here. You know, we are just chatting
about the yuletide ball and how
Vanessa
still needs a date for it. That's unfortunate. I'm sorry
you don't have a date. [chuckles] He's so funny. Such a kidder. Hold on a second, Vanessa. -What are you doing?
-I don't know. This is my one chance, our one chance to get
Vanessa to go ball with us. -You need to ask her.
-But I can't dance. Dude, you'll learn.
Don't blow this for me. -I don't know if this is a--
-Come on. Anyway, Brandon here actually
had something he wanted to say. Don't you, Brandon? I-- what did you
ask Santa
Claus for Christmas this year? I guess
I'll find out next time. I-- I have to run. ["Iaphariel"

being mean to him. Sounds familiar? Now, why won't you two just let grandma
tell the story? "Aiden, Brandon,
and Emily were trying to figure out how
they could work together. It was either that
or they were gonna be stuck under Alternis' spell
for the foreseeable future." [playful instrumental playing] Dude,
it's not that hard
to get a ball into a hoop. Maybe for you, it's not. Just aim and shoot. Okay. Swish.
Right? Right? I hit the net. This is all your fault. I'm gonna look

and I can't stop eating. This is
my second bowl tonight. And not to mention
what's going on with other parts
of
my body. Yeah, that takes him
getting used to, but, hey, at least you're
getting some practice in. So let's just say
this Alternis guy is real. Just have to
help each other work together

really like Vanessa and I need your help. It would mean a lot to me

I can't dance. Then let me teach you. Play slow song. [soft music playing] Not too bad,

about it is, just like a basketball,
you can always bounce back. [s

finally asks me to the dance, we could all go together. That's right.

gorgeous girl in school. -Um, thanks Em.

thought that about you. But not only
on the outside, you're the most beautiful girl

a tough time, Emily. That doesn't mean
you have to treat everyone like they're your enemy. Oh, I didn't know your
situation was worse than mine. Brandon's down there
embarrassing me. And I embarrassed myself
in front of the whole school. So what?
You're used to that. Ever since mom died,
you're treating me different. I miss her
just as much as you do. I just wish
you would stop taking all your anger out on me. [Christmas music plying] [screaming] [ominous inst

All of you. [liquid pouring] Oh! -Wanna try it again?

I'm just teasing, okay? Touchy.
Touchy. [heavy breathing] Well, I guess
this is goodbye for now. Remember

for being mean. I'll try to be
a better sister. -[footsteps approaching]
