Plot

The Loud family is preparing for Christmas as Lincoln mentions that Christmas can get pretty hectic in the Loud House. Everyone gathers in the kitchen for breakfast except for Lori who is away at Fairway University. Lori mentions on the video chat that it would be too much to come join them. Lincoln disagrees as Christmas is about being together. Everyone else mentions that they have something else to do: Luna is going skiing with Sam, Luan has a gig at Sunset Canyon Retirement Home, and Lynn Sr. and Rita plan to take everyone else to Miami Beach, Florida. He gets a package that turns out to be a 13-person toboggan to use on Tall Timbers Hill and opens it in front of his family only to find that it broke during the delivery.

Lincoln and his best friend Clyde make a plan on how to get the family together for Christmas. They make Lori homesick, fool Luna into thinking that Mick wants to jam with her, build a Sharkodile out of Clyde's family's film props, and disguise themselves as elderly people at the Sunset Canyon Retirement Home to pull off pranks enough for Pop-Pop to cancel Luan's gig. Lori enlists Bobby to get her to Royal Woods on his moped. Later on, while getting ready for the tree-lighting ceremony, Lincoln finds that he only made things worse for the family, having accidentally sprayed Lisa's custom-built Sharkodile repellent on Lynn Sr. causing him to not see straight, lose balance, and have unintelligible speech.

As Rita goes to pick up a stranded Lori and Bobby, Lincoln tries to call Katherine Mulligan and tell her that the creature isn't real, but she believes that he's pranking her. So, he and Clyde pilot the Sharkodile down Franklin Avenue where they drag some of the Loud House's decorations. They crash it into Royal Woods Mall just as the Louds, the McBrides, Rip, and Katherine catch up while Pop-Pop is among those seeing it on the news. Lincoln confesses the truth to everyone that he didn't want his family to be apart on Christmas. His family forgives him with his parents admitting that no Christmas tradition can be broken.

On Christmas Day, everyone is opening their presents. While mentioning that he has 300 hours of community service for the Sharkodile incident, Lincoln also mentions that Luna and Sam have their skiing trip back on, Luan's gig is reinstated by Pop-Pop, Lori will be taken back to Fairway University, and the rest of the family will be heading to Miami. Rita leads the family in presenting Lincoln with the rebuilt toboggan named Sledzilla. With help from Lisa's successful experiment, Lincoln, his sisters, his parents, and Clyde have a snowball fight. Then they ride Sledzilla down Tall Timbers Hill.
