"Gramma" Alice Delores Green is the matriarch of the eponymous family from the Disney Channel animated series Big City Greens. She is Bill Green's ill-tempered mother and the grandmother of Tilly and Cricket Green. She is a very cranky, strict old woman who is bitter to almost everyone she meets (she particularly does not trust her son's ex-wife, Nancy), but still cares deeply for her son and grandkids.
Appearances in Christmas specials[]
Big City Greens[]
Alice complains about the three ghosts who keep haunting her at Christmas.
Alice has a major role in the series' Christmas episode, "Green Christmas". During the opening son, she claims the worst part of Christmas are "those three stupid ghosts" who tell her she's a "scrooge". In the episode's B-plot, she and Nancy realize they forgot to get a gift for Bill and confess in the bathroom. Rather than get away with it because of how "clingy" Bill gets this time of year, the two decide to work together to get one for him in secret. They first try to make a gift in the garage, but the statue they made turns out terrible, so they take Bill caroling to distract him so they can check the stores downtown. Unfortunately, all the stores are closed, to Alice's confusion and shock.
Not wanting to give up once, Alice and Nancy's search continues into the night when a blizzard strikes, despite Nancy protesting that it's too late now. They are eventually found by Bill, who heard about the blizzard and the kids are still out there; once the kids are picked up, Bill is surprised that everyone is silent and assumes they're saving their enthusiasm for later. On Christmas Day, Alice confesses the truth, but to her and Nancy's shock, Bill found the statue they made it and claims it's perfect. Alice also reluctantly agrees to do every Christmas thing Bill wants to do along with Nancy.
Alice in CGI animation, as seen in "Virtually Christmas".
Alice later appears in the series' second Christmas episode, "Virtually Christmas", in which she and her family join in on the virtual reality game Outpost Infinity after Cricket gets snowed in at his best friend Remy Remington's mansion.
Alice has been confirmed to appear in the show's latest Christmas episode, "Dream Tree", this time celebrating Christmas at her son's old farmhouse in Smallton.
Other Christmas productions[]
Alice appears in the Chibi Tiny Tales short "Christmas Crashers", where she and Cricket trap Santa Claus. Since this impedes him from making his deliveries on time, she and Cricket have to take over for him while Bill works on freeing him.
Alice makes a cameo along with her grandson Cricket in Disney Channel's Epic Holiday Showdown where Cricket is revealed to be on the "so-so" list and is challenged to prank call Ebenezer Scrooge in order to get back on the nice list. When Cricket has trouble at first, Alice takes over and is successful; Cricket is back on the nice list, but Alice herself is on the naughty list, which she's fine with.
Alice barges into Santa's workshop in "Santa Gave My Grandson Coal for Christmas".
Alice has the starring role in the Broken Karaoke short "Santa Gave My Grandson Coal for Christmas", in which she tells Cricket and Tilly about how, years ago, she stormed her way to the North Pole after Santa gave baby Cricket a lump of coal for Christmas. It is revealed here that Alice's sword was apparently given to her by Santa as an apology, although it is never stated whether or not Alice is just making up this story.
Alice and her family provide hosting duties for the compilation special Shortsmas with Big City Greens.
