[Episode starts with an emphasis on a lit wooden house adorned with Christmas decorations, in a winter forest. From behind Blue is reading a storybook beside the fire. Camera shifts to show Blue's front and the book title, that read: "The Impostor Who Stole Christmas". ]
FREEZY
Ah, hello there. What? You've never seen a talking blue guy with random lights on his head before? We're pretty common here at the North Polus, right across the street from Santa's workshop.
[Camera shifts to a fireplace, where four personalized Christmas stockings are hung. The names on the stockings are as follows: Player, Veteran, Gentleman, Mr. Cheese.]
FREEZY
But while his elves are happy and healthy, busy building toys for all the good boys and girls out there ahead of Christmas Eve.
[Camera shifts to the Christmas tree with gifts and Santa's milk and cookies. Back to Freezy.]
FREEZY
I hope you are having a wonderful season too. This time of year can truly be magical when it's filled with hope and cheer, but it's not all caroling and sleigh bells. If I live to be 100, I will never forget how Player saved Christmas.
FREEZY
Even in Among Us, a game full of lying, backstabbing and death, there can be happy endings. You don't believe me? Well then let me tell you my favorite Among Us Christmas story of all. The game started out like any other, with Player spawning right into the Dropship.
[In this episode, characters are dressed in festive hats. Player enters the lobby. He is dressed in a Cant'dy Cane. He joins Veteran, who is wearing a halo in place of his usual crown, and TheGentleman.]
PLAYER
Oh hey Angel. Merry Christmas, long time no see.
VETERAN
Angel? Dude, it's me, Veteran.
PLAYER
Oh, sorry. You look exactly like someone who used to play with us in this lobby.
VETERAN
Well, I'm not. I just thought I would switch it up and spread a little holiday cheer. I might even sing Jingle Bells later.
PLAYER
Veteran, I've heard you sing before. Please don't.
CAPTAIN
Merry Christmas, Player. Oh, hey Angel! long time no see.
VETERAN
Oh my god, it's not Angel! It's me, Veteran.
CAPTAIN
Wow. You look exactly like someone that used to play with us in this lobby.
PLAYER
That's what I said.
VETERAN
Ugh.
CAPTAIN
Man, I can't wait for you to open the present I bought for you!
PLAYER
Oh, you uh, bought a present for me? I hope it wasn't too much money. (chuckling nervously)
CAPTAIN
It was an exorbitant amount of money. Nothing but the best for my bestie. I'm in financial ruin, but seeing the look on your face when you tear away that wrapping paper will make it all worth it. Metaphorically of course, physically speaking, I will be in debt for a long, long time, because of the lenghts I went to make you happy.
PLAYER
Oh, well, um, you're gonna love what I got you too.
VETERAN
Wait, you got Captain a present after all?
[Player widens his visor in surprise.]
VETERAN
I thought you said you weren't gonna get him anything.
[Player does a gesture, hoping Veteran would stop.]
VETERAN
And why are you giving me the secret signal to shut up?
CAPTAIN
(doubt) Player?
PLAYER
Don't worry about him Captain, I definitely got you something, it's awesome, you're gonna love it.
CAPTAIN
Oh, good! Not getting something from you would destroy my holiday spirit now and forever. I would never fully recover from that kind of betrayal. By the way, love the candy cane horns.
PLAYER
Thanks, your snowman looks pretty sweet too.
FREEZY
Player was right, Captain's snowman did look pretty sweet, but what happened next, was not.
[A few moments after the match started. Mr. Cheese approaches a snowman outside of the lboartory building, and TheGentleman following behind him.]
MR. TREE
Oh my god, G-Gentleman, Gentleman, look! Somebody made a snowman.
THEGENTLEMAN
Bah, humbug. I don't have time for this tomfoolery, Mr. Cheese.
MR. TREE
Ya-pa-pap. It's Mr. Tree now.
THEGENTLEMAN
Whatever. Come along now, I need to get my tasks done.
MR. TREE
B-but TheGentleman, it's Christmas Eve, can you just take one night off and stay with me? Here, look.
[Mr. Tree takes a tophat from TheGentleman's two tophats and tosses it. It lands perfectly on the snowman's head.]
MR. TREE
See? Maybe now the snowman can come to life.
THEGENTLEMAN
Bah, humbug! I've had enough of this nonsense. Good day, Mr. Tree.
[TheGentleman leaves.]
MR. TREE
Oh, boo-hoo, I guess I'll just be all alone on Christmas Eve then. Poor Mr. Tree. Oh gosh, no way!
[The snowman suddenly starts to shake.]
FREEZY (AS THE SNOWPERSON)
Happy birthday! Wait, hang on a second. Where am I? This isn't a birthday party.
MR. TREE
Oh my god, it's a Christmas miracle, you're alive! TheGentleman's hat must have been magic. So, uh, what's your name?
FREEZY (AS THE SNOWPERSON)
For legal purposes, let's just call me Freezy, Freezy the snowperson.
MR. TREE
So what should we do, Freezy the snowperson? Maybe we could sing a musical number. O-or have a snowball fight. Oh, maybe we could go down to the railroad station and have a great adventure to the North Polus!
FREEZY
I was thinking I could just murder you.
MR. TREE
Wait what?
FREEZY
Yep, Freezy had been unleashed, and he was now out for blood. Years of cold suffering made him violent and angry. The magic within TheGentleman's hat fueled the rage inside him, and he would stop at nothing to get his ultimate victory, which leads us to our other villain of our story. Now, every crewmate in Polus liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Polus, did not. Maybe she was cold, mad that she lost her defroster, or maybe it's because secretly she was an impostor.
GNOME
I hate those crewmates with all of their tasks, I hate all their skins, their pets and their hats. But out of all I think my most hated thing, is how GameTunes music they sing and they sing. Link is down in the description by the way!
FREEZY
At that moment the Grinch came up with a plan, to kill every crewmate, woman or man. So she sledded down the mountain, one hand holding a knife, heading to Polus, to take every last crewmate's life.
THEGENTLEMAN
Bah, humbug. That wretched Mr. Tree and his childish ways, tasks must be done, regardless of what day it is.
MOTHER
Have you learned nothing, TheGentleman? Or should I call you Ebenezer?
THEGENTLEMAN
How did you know my first name? Who are you?
MOTHER
Oh, it's me, Mother. Although technically I'm the ghost of Christmas past now, don't you know? See, I'm here to show you your childhood, explaining why you became such a scrooge.
THEGENTLEMAN
Fine then, let's get this over with.
THE MENTOR
Keep up the good work, lad. Remember, it's all about tasks, rebooting the Wi-Fi, taking out the garbage, fueling the rockets and so forth. Do not allow yourself to be tricked into spending time with loved ones, that's stupid. Only work is cool.
THEGENTLEMAN (AS A CHILD)
Yes sir. You know, when I grow up, I'm going to be just like you, but I'm going to have 2 top hats.
THE MENTOR
Well that would just be ridiculous.
MOTHER
Aw, look at you poor thing. You never stood a chance.
THEGENTLEMAN
At being a good person?
MOTHER
At having a tasteful fashion sense. Although the being a good person thing is true too, obviously.
THEGENTLEMAN
Where am I now?
MR. PRESENT
This is the home of Captain.
THEGENTLEMAN
Mr. Egg?
MR. PRESENT
No, I'm the ghost of Mr. Present. Hahahaha! Get it? Cause the present on my-
THEGENTLEMAN
I got it!
MR. PRESENT
Look at him, he´s got absolutely nothing. He's been in abject poverty since he spend so much money on Player's gift. It's a new PS5, I'm super jealous actually.
THEGENTLEMAN
Well, that just seems like poor financial planning.
MR. PRESENT
Uh, I thought you might say that.
THEGENTLEMAN
No, this can't be. Is this really my future? I repent for my wicked ways, I will not be a scrooge any longer, I now realize the true meaning of Christmas. I don't want to be buried here on Polus, with no one to attend my funeral.
MOTHER
Your funeral?
MR. PRESENT
Yeah, who said it was yours? This is where the three of us are buried.
THEGENTLEMAN
Oh wait, you guys are really dead?
MOTHER
Yeah, there's a killer snowman on the loose.
POOPYFARTS96
(farts)
THEGENTLEMAN
PoopyFarts? Is that you under the mask?
MR. PRESENT
Yeah, that's PoopyFarts. Though now he goes by the ghost of PoopyFuture. He says he got killed by a Grinch impostor, same as me!
THEGENTLEMAN
I've got to warn the others! Everyone listen up, there´s a killer snowman on the loose, and he's working with grinch.
GNOME
No he's not, I did all my murders completely independently of him. I mean, uh, I'm innocent!
THEGENTLEMAN
Player, I promise you. If we vote out those two, we will win, you will win. I know how important that is to you. It would be a Christmas miracle.
PLAYER
TheGentleman, with all due respect, Christmas is about more than winning. It's about doing what's right and being a good friend. Captain, you've always been so kind to me, and rumor has it you bought me a brand new PS5.
CAPTAIN
Veteran! I told you that in confidence!
VETERAN
Sorry dude, it just slipped.
PLAYER
The point is, after an amazing gift like that, I feel bad because I haven't gotten you anything. I haven't been a good friend, until now. Everyone's talking about a killer snowman, which is clearly you because you have that snowman on your head.
CAPTAIN
Wait, Player, I'm not the-
PLAYER
You didn't let me finish. So even though I want to win this game more than anything in the world, I want to make my friend happy even more. I'm gonna leave game, make your life even easier, you'll be one step closer to that impostor victory, and that, is my gift to you. Merry Christmas Captain.
CAPTAIN
But Player, I'm really not the-
VETERAN
You know what? I should probably log off too, I need to stretch the old windpipes before my big musical bit.
THEGENTLEMAN
NOOOOOO!
FREEZY
And that's how Player saved Christmas. What? Not the happy ending you were expecting? Or maybe that's because you didn't realize which team I was on. Player really sucks at this game, doesn't he?
VETERAN
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Nailed it!
