"Xtreme Xmas" is the Christmas episode of the Disney Channel series Lizzie McGuire, aired as the twentieth episode of its second season.
Synopsis
Lizzie's plans to put together a prize-winning "Rock 'n Roll Christmas" float for her school's holiday parade get sidetracked when her family encounters Nobby Frostybump, an old man who insists he is one of Santa's elves. When his retirement home becomes in need of some plumbing aid, the McGuires invite him to stay with them. Soon, everyone, including Lizzie's partner, Gordo, turns their efforts to helping him and friends out of their plumbing snafu, taking time and attention away from Lizzie's project. It takes a snowy dream sequence comprised of a hodgepodge of unsubtle homages to past Christmas TV specials (from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to A Charlie Brown Christmas to How the Grinch Stole Christmas!) to open Lizzie's eyes and rearrange her priorities in accordance with contemporary Christmas morals of selflessness and goodwill.
Notes
- Lizzie's float is towed by a 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado convertible.
