"The Christmas Ninjalinos" is the third Christmas episode of Hasbro's CGI preschool show PJ Masks subtitled "Power Heroes" for its sixth season.
Synopsis
It's Christmas time once again, and Night Ninja has a plan to make the holiday special for him and his Ninjalinos. They steal the book about Ice World from the Museum. The following day, Amaya, Greg, Connor and Ivan are looking forward to Christmas, which is two days away. When they run into the librarian, she asks Ivan about the book he rented. When Ivan says he already returned it, he realizes someone else must have taken it. The four friends realize Ice World might be in danger and decide to investigate that night.
After meeting up with the other heroes in Power Q, Ice Cub decides to guard the portal to Ice World, while Catboy, Owlette and Gekko will search the Museum. When they get there however, they are ambushed by Night Ninja and the Ninjalinos, who trap the heroes with Sticky Splat and steal the PJ Explorider. They take the Explorider to the portal, take out Ice Cub, and enter Ice World. The PJ's and Ice Cub free themselves, summon their winter gear, and follow Night Ninja into Ice World.
In Ice World, Owlette discovers Night Ninja is not heading towards the tunnel of winds and the cave with the Crystal Icicle. Instead he heads to a previously unexplored section of Ice World. When the heroes follow him there, they find themselves outside Santa's Workshop. Night Ninja and his Ninjalinos are already inside, and forcing Santa to give them all the presents he has. When the heroes try to enter the workshop, they are attacked by Ninjalinos and forced to retreat. They split up and try again. Gekko is the first to succeed. Once he is in, Gekko sees that two of the Ninjalinos are actually getting on good terms with Santa, and are offered to be his little helpers by giving them elf hats. Using his camouflage, Gekko captures one of the uncooperative Ninjalinos and traps him in a cage made of candy canes. Catboy also manages to enter the workshop after one of Santa's Reindeer distracts Night Ninja, and he joins Gekko in his fight with the Ninjalinos. They defeat them, but the workshop is left in a mess because of it.
As Catboy, Gekko and the two nice Ninjalinos clean up the mess, Night Ninja launches a counter attack. He uses his ninja finger magic to kick the heroes out of the workshop, and out of Ice World. And since the night is about to end, the heroes have no time to re-enter Ice World now. They need a new plan. Fortunately, Gekko now knows not all the Ninjalinos are on Night Ninja's side.
It's the day before Christmas Eve, and the heroes are still no closer to stopping Night Ninja. Gekko is sure they can get the other Ninjalinos into the Christmas spirit, just like the two he already saw last night, and perhaps even Night Ninja himself. The other are skeptical, but decide to give it a try. That night, they return to Ice World and Santa's Workshop, with a gift for Night Ninja. In the workshop, Night Ninja is forcing Santa to make an action figure of him. Three of the Ninjalinos are now wearing Christmas elf hats, and clearly disagree with Night Ninja though they don't dare to speak up to him. When the PJ's make themselves known, Night Ninja is naturally hostile, but lets them into the workshop when the heroes promise him they are not there to fight, but want a Christmas truce.
The present they brought with them turns out to be a movie projector containing film footage of the PJ's previous Christmas adventures. They tell Night Ninja how Luna Girl and Romeo also attempted to ruin Christmas, but ultimately ended up on the nice list. The Ninjalinos are impressed by what they see, but still, Night Ninja stubbornly refuses to change his ways and traps the heroes in the candy cane cage Gekko used previously. He then ties up Santa and uses his Six Rings of Ninja Magic to steal his Christmas magic. With this new magic, Night Ninja loads all the presents into Santa's sleigh and forces the reindeer to bring the sleigh and him to the city, leaving the trapped heroes and the Ninjalinos behind.
Gekko is disappointed his plan failed, and that Night Ninja is apparently too evil. He tries to break out of the cage, but it's too strong for him. Fortunately, the Ninjalinos have learned their lesson and are willing to help save Christmas. They free the heroes and Santa, who chase after Night Ninja with their vehicles. The chase ends at the tunnel of winds. Both Night Ninja and the PJ's go too fast to stop, and end up crashing. The PJ's and Santa get stuck in the snow, while the sleigh ends up balancing on the edge of a cliff, with Night Ninja stuck on it, unable to get himself to safety as he used up all the stolen magic. The PJ's are in no position to help either, but the Ninjalinos are. They rescue Night Ninja, who in turn shows that he cares for his Ninjalinos which he thanks for their help.
The heroes are glad they finally got through to Night Ninja, but the danger is not over yet as the sleigh is still threatening to fall off the cliff, which will wreck all the presents onboard. Santa willingly gives Night Ninja more of his Christmas magic so Night Ninja can use his ninja finger powers to save the sleigh. Night Ninja safely lands the sleigh on the ground, and Santa can finally begin his trip around the world. But first he gives Night Ninja a present; his own Christmas hat. As Santa leaves, the heroes, along with Night Ninja, shout their victory cry.
