Story
Part 1
During most of this part, Wally Plotch narrated in rhyme; it was Christmastime at Toad Town, a time of peace and love and joy and whatnot. And presents, according to Top, who began to go into a song, followed by Topper and Oshy, who played the drums and violin, while Top played the accordion. The song went around to Gisho Castle, Twilight Town, the Green House, the Mario Bros. House, and finally back to Toad Town where Top, Oshy and Topper finished the song. Wally continued to narrate about Christmas, but then mentioned one fellow who did not like Christmas...
At Gwarhar Lagoon, in Kienstrom's underwater turtle shell lab, Flare and Chopper were rhyming when Kienstrom yelled at them to stop, saying that it hurt his head. He said that it was around Christmas when he was fired from the lab he worked at, and the entire season gave him too much anger. He decided that this year, there would be no Christmas. He told Flare and Chopper to conserve their battery, for tonight his plan would be enacted, and he himself went to bed so he would be rested for his plan.
At about 5 PM, Kienstrom was asleep when he was hit with a strong wind, throwing him into the wall. He heard a ghostly wail as a Butterfree ghost with chains on it came in to tell Kienstrom he would be visited by three ghosts tonight (even though it wasn't really night). The ghost then poofed away and a bomb fell on Kienstrom's head, blowing up. A Prank Ghost poofed in and sang a song about how he was the Ghost of Christmas Past and pulled out a projector to show Kienstrom his past.
First they showed his birth, which was boring, then it showed him at a mall with a mall Santa that was actually Blackeye the Pirate. They then showed Kienstrom being "fired" from his job at the lab, which in reality was him quitting because they wouldn't let him continue his experiments. He still counted that as being fired, but the Prank ghost was suddenly gone without a trace. It poofed back to tell Kienstrom each successive ghost was worse than the last, but Kienstrom said he would never change his ways, and there was a commercial break.
Part 2
Kienstrom decided it was all just a hallucination and attempted to go back to bed, but found that he was now floating. He was then thrown against the wall and a Gardevoir ghost appeared to him, who sang about how she was the ghost of Christmast Present. She was there to show him people Kienstrom knew in the present, but Kienstrom said he didn't know anyone, so the Gardevoir ghost just threw him around with Psychic until Kienstrom admitted there may have been someone.
The Gardevoir ghost telepoted them to a bathroom in Tanker's Tavern, where some Mutie-Snippets were cleaning it. It was Kienstrom's chemicals that had did this to them, but Kienstrom said it was early experiments and not his fault. The Gardevoir ghost yelled that it was, and flushed him down the toilet, sending him back to his lab. Kienstrom attempted to escape before the final ghost appeared, but a dark, robed ghost with red eyes appeared to Kienstrom, although it turned out to simply be a Jinjo ghost.
Kienstrom recognized him as Gonji, but the Jinjo ghost claimed to not know what he was talking about and sang to him about how he was the Ghost of Christmas Future. He sent Kienstrom to a future graveyard where they found the tomb of McJiggies, which apparently closed down. They had never actually found Kienstrom's tomb, as Flare and Chopper were dismantled. Kienstrom knew exactly what it was he had to do, and when he returned to his lab, he yelled at Flare and Chopper to come here so they could begin his plan to destroy Christmas.
Part 3
Flare asked Kienstrom if he would tell them his plan now, and Chopper asked why they were wearing antlers and Kienstrom was dressed as a bearded guy in red. Kienstrom planned to steal Christmas from the world, but as that would take too long, they just settled for Toad Town. Kienstrom used a rocket-powered sleigh to bring them to Toad Town, where they crashed outside a house. The house had no chimney, so Kienstrom broke through a window. He began to gather up stuff using small robots, but the lights came on and Top said hi. Even though it was incredibly obvious it was Kienstrom, Top didn't take note and skipped off.
Once Kienstrom was done there, he went off to steal more stuff; Wally Plotch tried to sing, but Kienstrom yelled at him to stop. Soon he had all the stuff stolen and brought them up to Shiver Mountain, but after a few hours the Butterfree ghost returned to show Kienstrom that the town wasn't sad, but was still jolly. Kienstrom realized that he should have just taken the direct route and attacked them, and the other ghosts appeared. Realizing Kienstrom still had no holiday spirit, the Jinjo ghost kicked the sleigh and it began sliding away. Kienstrom, Flare and Chopper grabbed it, but were swung away as it went down a turn and they were thrown into the snow, forming a snowball down the mountain. The sleigh slid all the way down to Toad Town, and it was a happy ending.
At Top's House, Top, Oshy, Topper, Whirl, Evelyn, Croco, Bien, Apricot, Oh Gee, and Testube all sang We Wish You a Merry Holiday together and a montage of characters that had appeared in Topmonhit Story up to that point occured, where Parnky got his comeuppance, Sneen did nothing, Gonji got an upgrade to his glasses, Slike had a large piece of exploding coal, Noshum gave Vivian a red ring, Team Flash got a lump of carbon with a diamond inside, Ferdinand got a new stick, Rexor was shovin coal into his lava, Swal randomly showed up to Relvia, Count Bleah considered doing something evil, and Chimeck predicted the next year would be bumpy. And so ended the first Topmonhit Story Christmas/Holiday Special...
