A cheerful, family-friendly Christmas special that uses Plankton's mischievous scheme as a lighthearted vehicle for holiday themes of redemption and community spirit.

At Christmastime in Bikini Bottom, everyone's excited except Plankton, who always gets a lump of coal from Santa. But he vows this year he'll finally get his wish – the Krabby Patty formula! And it won't be by being good. He's gonna make everyone in Bikini Bottom bad!
