— Lily giving Lincoln her finger painting at the end of "Season's Cheatings" | ||
Lily L. Loud is the youngest of Lincoln Loud's ten sisters in the Nickelodeon animated series The Loud House. At 15 months old (two years old as of Season 5), Lily is a very playful and cheery baby. Prior to getting potty-trained in the fifth season, Lily also had a tendency to stink up her diapers. Despite having only just learned how to walk at the start of the show's run, Lily is quite aware of the world around her, especially the antics of her older siblings. She is always happy to be around her siblings, all of whom care deeply for her (even bossy Lori and bratty Lola).
Appearances in Christmas specials[]
The Loud House[]
As one of the show's main characters, Lily naturally appears in the show's first Christmas episode, "11 Louds a Leapin'". She is the only one of the Loud siblings who does not have any specific subplot of her own in the special, instead just popping up in the middle of her older sisters' hi-jinks. She blows raspberries at Luan's Christmas-themed puns, gets caught in one of Lana's reindeer traps, and pops out of one of the stockings that Leni used to make a Christmas outfit. When the Loud and McBride families go to spread cheer to Mr. Grouse, Lily, being held up by her mom, puts the star on top of his tree. At the very end of the episode, Lily receives a teddy bear on Christmas morning.
Being a baby, Lily does not sing her own line as part of the Loud family's version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" in the online-exclusive short of the same name.
Lily picks out Lincoln's name from the hat in "Season's Cheatings".
Lily's next appearance in a Christmas special was the fifth-season episode "Season's Cheatings". In it, Lincoln hopes to get Lily as his Secret Santa in the family's annual gift-swap, because the gifts she supposedly gives are actually from their parents (since Lily, being in preschool at this point, is too young to buy anything herself). However, right after Lily draws Lincoln's name from the hat, Rita and Lynn Sr. say that, since she's growing up, she's going to make a homemade gift for her designated sibling. As a result, Lincoln spends much of the episode trying to switch things up so that he gets another sister as his Secret Santa, but then finds he has nothing for his designated sister, Lola. Lily later witnesses Lincoln having to give up his desired backpack to his rival, Chandler, for a pair of earrings for Lola. On Christmas morning, Lily cheers her big brother up by presenting him with a finger-painting depicting her giving him the backpack.
Lily also appears in "A Flipmas Carol", but is much less prominent there because the episode is a pastiche of A Christmas Carol with Flip in the Ebenezer Scrooge role.
Lily and her family also have a cameo in The Casagrandes Christmas episode, "A Very Casagrandes Christmas". At the very end of the episode, the Loud family shows up at the Casagrandes' apartment to spend Christmas with them because their van broke down while they were picking up Lori from college.
Back in the original show, Lily is only briefly seen at the beginning and end of its next Christmas episode, "Snow Escape". The episode suggests that Royal Woods Preschool closed earlier for winter vacation, as Lily is the only one of the Loud kids who does not have to go to school on the "snowball-packing day", and therefore does not have to worry about Lynn Jr.'s snowball attacks.
Lily is "weady for action" in "Twas the Fight Before Christmas".
Lily's latest Christmas appearance was in the episode "Twas the Fight Before Christmas", in which she and her older siblings team up with their previously-unseen cousins to put an end to the ongoing feud between their respective fathers. When Lincoln, Lori, and Shelby go out to pick up a new spatula and exercise ball for the two dads (intending to label each gift as being from the other brother), Lincoln gives Lily one of his David Steele walkie-talkies to keep in contact. At one point, when Lynn Sr. notices that his oldest daughter and only son are missing right as he's about to cut his Lynn-ce meat pie, Lily hides under the table while Lincoln and Lori call, claiming that they're busy wrapping presents under the table themselves. Lynn Sr., not noticing anything odd about how the kids sound right now, cuts a slice of the pie for them and gives it to Lily, who is all too happy to eat it herself.
The Really Loud House[]
Lily's live-action counterpart, as seen in A Loud House Christmas.
In the live-action movie A Loud House Christmas, Lily is picked to light the big tree at the Royal Woods mall on Christmas Eve. However, she is just as excited about the vacation the family is planning to take to Miami on Christmas Day. Unfortunately, when the people of Royal Woods are put on curfew due to the sharkodile (which was actually a fake creature built by Lincoln and Clyde) supposedly lurking about, Lily is devastated to learn that the Christmas tree lighting is cancelled. This proves to be the final blow for Lincoln, having already seen how miserable his other sisters are thanks to his and Clyde's hoax forcing his family to cancel their vacation, and he tries to bring the "sharkodile" to show Katherine Mulligan that it's a fake. After Lincoln confesses to his family what he did, Lily gets to turn on the big tree's lights after all.
Mentions in other Christmas specials[]
In The All-Star Nickmas Spectacular, when Lincoln shows up to give season's greetings from himself and his sisters, he mentions Lily alongside his other sisters.
