Duncan is a Christmas elf who oversees the Technical Integrated Naughty/Nice Santa List (or T.I.N.N.S.L. for short) in Santa's headquarters at the North Pole while putting up with a co-worker named Gerald. He and Santa Claus are alerted to an alarm that identifies Lincoln Loud as a "Flipper", someone who flips between naughty and nice, as its final analysis cannot determine if he should be put on the naughty or nice list. Despite his objections and insistence that he is not ready, Duncan is sent to Royal Woods to spy on Lincoln, who wishes for a Rip Hardcore multi-tool.
The Loud family, joined by Lincoln's best friend Clyde, visit Gingerhausen where Lynn Sr. obtains a recipe for figgy pudding which nobody enjoys, Rita finds a Donatello nutcracker to complete her collection of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nutcrackers, Lori makes an ice sculpture of Bobby, Lucy finds a multicolored sweater which she ultimately likes while looking for Krampus, and Lana and Lola do a selfie scavenger hunt. Meanwhile, Lincoln realizes that someone is spying on him, and he and Clyde chase and catch Duncan - who Lincoln mistakes for an actual elf - who tells him that he is a "Flipper" due to a series of pranks and minor misdeeds he committed throughout the year. While being interrogated by the duo, Duncan adds more infractions to Lincoln's list that eventually pushes him down to the naughty list before escaping and returning to the North Pole.
Now on the naughty list, Lincoln, whose attempt to do good deeds with Clyde fails, attempts to hack into T.I.N.N.S.L. through a tablet that Duncan left behind with Todd's help. However, his plan backfires and he ends up accidentally reversing the entire world's naughty and nice lists. On Christmas Day, the other Louds get coal while Lincoln manages to get the multi-tool. This also causes the actual naughty people's Christmas wishes to come true. Chandler becomes Mayor of Royal Woods, Flip owns all the businesses in Royal Woods, and Scoots causes mayhem in a monster truck with her boyfriend Tyler. With his family mad at him, Lincoln realizes his mistake and the potential consequences. He asks his family, who quickly forgive him, to travel to the North Pole on a mission to set things right. Meanwhile, the North Pole has turned "naughty" where an evil Santa Claus emerges, threatening to ruin Christmas for everyone.
Returning to Gingerhausen, the Louds follow Lily's map to a portal which takes them to the North Pole, where they are attacked by corrupted Christmas elves, reindeer, snowmen, holly bushes, nutcracker guards, and evil rabbits. They escape and reunite with Duncan, who buys them some time while the Louds sneak into Santa's headquarters. The family is able to swap back the lists, but are confronted by Naughty Santa who is impressed with Lincoln's selfish actions. Lincoln tries to convince his family he is not naughty, but Naughty Santa shows the family footage of the ramifications that the swap has introduced. His family shocked, Lincoln only agrees to cooperate with Naughty Santa under the condition that his family is released, but Santa secretly has Gerald take them to the coal mines where Duncan is imprisoned.
Lincoln escapes Naughty Santa's office, taking some Rip Hardcore multi-tools with him. He frees his family from the coal mines and finds out that the secret ingredient Lynn Sr. obtained earlier is actually a sample of Christmas magic. Lincoln passes the multi-tools to his family as Duncan tells him he needs to get to the top of Mount Christmas to pour the vial of Christmas magic, which will restore the joy to the world. Lincoln and Duncan head for the top of Mount Christmas as the other Louds use the multi-tools to fight off Naughty Santa's minions, but Naughty Santa soon emerges with a flying reindeer gingerbread cookies which turns anything hit by its beam into gingerbread cookies.
The Louds follow Naughty Santa, who is pursuing Lincoln and Duncan, on a sleigh. Naughty Santa prepares to turn Duncan into a gingerbread man, Lincoln jumps in front of him, taking the hit and turning himself into one, much to the other Louds' horror. Lincoln's sacrifice mixed with Duncan's tears generates enough genuine Christmas magic to restore the North Pole, and the lists are swapped back. The niceness restored, Lincoln meets the restored Santa who offers to restart the day so the Louds can have the Christmas morning they deserved.
When his siblings open their presents, Lincoln learns that he's only one who remembers the North Pole adventure. He ultimately earns his spot on the Nice List and receives a self-titled multi-tool as a reward. Watching from the monitors, Santa Claus is proud with the turnout and Duncan's actions, as Duncan plans to work on the next plans for T.I.N.N.S.L.
During the credits in the style of Christmas card drawings, the Loud family celebrates Christmas with Albert and Myrtle and go sledding where they see Santa Claus; Lori delivers her Bobby ice sculpture to Bobby with the Casagrandes present; Lucy finally gets an autograph from Krampus; Gerald delivers towels to Santa's reindeer in their gym; and Duncan oversees T.I.N.N.S.L.'s upgrades.
