It's the night before Christmas with the Ninja Turtles (based on the 1987 TV series). The Turtles, along with their sensei Splinter and the 5th Turtle Zach, spend the holidays in April's apartment. After April reads A Visit From St. Nicholas (novel by Clement C. Moore) and everybody goes to bed in order for Santa Claus to show up, Raphael realizes Zach dropped his letter to Santa on the floor and it didn't get mailed to him and informs the other Turtles the situation. Now the Turtles go out in New York to search for old St. Nick and deliver Zach's letter before it's too late, otherwise Zach will be heartbroken. Meanwhile, Shredder plots to kidnap Santa and settle the score with him because when he was little, every Christmas in Japan, Santa never gave him any presents he asked for, and instead of presents, he gave him a stocking full of coal. That's because Shredder was on his naughty list because of his evil deeds. Now the Turtles must rescue Santa and give him Zach's letter so he can read it. From the creators of Legend of the Three Caballeros (2018). Voices by Ben Stiller, Tom Kenny, Steve Carell, David DeLuise, Hugh Laurie, Grey DeLisle, Hynden Walch, Ashley Tisdale, Johnny Depp, Wally Wingert, Eric Bauza, Bruce Lanoil, and Stephen J. Anderson.
