"Fa-La-La-La-Ed" is the first of two Christmas-themed episodes of the Cartoon Network original series Ed, Edd n Eddy.
Synopsis
Ed and Eddy know they're not supposed to go into Edd's parents room, even Edd himself isn't allowed although of course that doesn't stop them. The thing with parents rooms of course, is that you never know just what treasures might be lurking in the closet, waiting to be discovered and in this case it turns out to be an antique cake and a box of Christmas decorations.
Despite Double D & Eddy's rational explanation that it is in fact July, Ed goes into Christmas overdrive, brandishing mistletoe and spreading festive cheer to a bemused audience. Luckily for him, Eddy is distracted by the revelation that its Piggy Bank Day - all the Kids will be smashing open their piggies and for a small fee Eddy will do this for them with Edd's help. But when faced with the trusting innocence of the wide-eyed kids Double D breaks down and succumbs to Ed's Christmas spirit and its not long before all the other kids are under his spell too, Eddy is beside himself until he twigs that not only do the kids feel good but they feel generous too which is Eddy's cue to cash in on the moment. Its all going gloriously until Ed takes the spirit of giving just too far for Eddy's liking.
Trivia
