(excited meowing) (giggling) I just love Christmastime!

I love our Christmas tree... and our Christmas hot cocoa mugs... and our Christmas stockings...

Even you have one, Gatita!

(excited meowing) (giggling) And guess what?!

What?

(curious meow) This year, we're gonna go somewhere so supertastical and so terrifical, and so wow-mazing, that it's gonna be the most special Christmas ever!

Yay!

Where we going?

We're going to Mexico City to have Christmas with... Abuela!

Yay!

(excited meowing) And Javi and Tía are coming!

And Gatita!

You're coming too!

(excited meowing) (rhythmic music) (gasps) (giggling) Rosie's Rule: When your cutie ball cat finds out she's going to Mexico City, she might do a cutie ball cat dance!

Hmm...

I wonder what Christmas with Abuela will be like?

I've gotta know!

♪ I have a great big question ♪ And I just can't let it go ♪ Yo quiero saberlo ♪ I really gotta know What will Christmas be like with Abuela?

Maybe... ♪ We'll soar through Mexico in a shiny big red sleigh ♪ ♪ Meet an alebrije reindeer who likes to dance ballet ♪ ♪ Wrap hundreds of lights 'round the Christmas tree ♪ ♪ And open a present that's bigger than me ♪ Giant Christmas present... (family laughing) Time to go to the airport, Fuentes Family!

It's happening!

We're going!

(excited squeal) This is so exciting!

I can't wait!

I'll put the bags in Tía's van.

- Need some help?

- Nope!

(struggling grunts) Yup.

(laughing) (bright music) In you go, Gatita!

(meowing) ¡Hola!

There's plenty of room in the back!

¡Hola Prima!

I can't wait to see Abuela and give her my Christmas present.

I wrapped it myself!

Órale...

I made a present for Abuela too!

It's a snow fairy.

(Javi): Qué padre... (humming) ¿Lixtos calixtos?

(all): ¡Lixtos!

Goodbye house!

Goodbye, Christmas decorations!

Adiós, Christmas lights!

Goodbye-- (Papá): ¡Mija!

(car honking) (Papá laughing) If you keep saying goodbye, we might miss our plane to Mexico.

Oh.

(quickly): Goodbye, house.

Merry Christmas, going to Mexico City now!

(car engine starts) (Mom): Who's excited about Christmas in Mexico City?!

(all): I am!

(bright music) (giggling) (gasps) - Wow!

(laughing) (♪♪) (laughing) (gasping) (♪♪) (Papá sighs) (Papá): Here we are!

(Rosie): Woo-hoo!

It's Abuela's house!

Hmm, But where's... ¡Hola familia!

I'm seeing you in real life!

I'm hugging you in real life!

Mmm... Come in, come in!

Pasen.

(giggling) Wow!

Abuela, it's your house!!

- Ooh!

- Nice!

Javi, look!

(Javi gasps) ¡Que Padre!

(Iggy): Ooh!

Wow!

(all gasping) (Rosie): Wow!

I'm so happy to see mi familia.

And I can't wait for all of us to celebrate Noche Buena!

Yay!

Noche Buena!

Yay!

Noche bena!

Do you know what Noche Buena is?

Yes!

No.

(laughing) Noche Buena is a big celebration that we have the night before Christmas.

Wow.

It's like having Christmas... before Christmas!

(gasps) (Abuela): This is where we'll eat our Noche Buena dinner.

- Yum!

- Noche Buena dinner!

(giggling) Here's the Christmas tree where we'll listen to villancicos.

That's what we call Christmas carols in Spanish.

(meowing) (meowing) (Abuela): I see you found the presents, Gatita.

On Noche Buena, we stay up late and open presents at midnight!

(Rosie and Javi): Midnight?!

Wow!

I've never stayed up 'til midnight before!

Me neither.

I don't even know when midnight is!

(giggling) (gasps) I'm gonna put my present for Abuela under the tree too!

(gasps) Me too!

(meowing) Hmm, huh?

(meowing) Oh no.

I think I left my present for Abuela at home!

Oh no!

(meows): Oh no!

Aw... Now I don't have a present to give her for Noche Buena.

(Abuela laughing, clapping) ¡Vámonos familia!

Where are we going, Abuela?

To el Zócalo to take a family picture under the giant Christmas tree!

Ooh, that sounds Fuentastic!

(gasps) Primo!

Maybe I can find another present for Abuela there!

¡Buena idea!

(meowing) And I'll help!

Adiós Gatita.

See you soon!

(meowing) (startled meow) We're ready to go, Abuela!

Just wait until you see Christmastime in Mexico City, mis niños.

You're going to love it!

I already love it, 'cause I'm going with you!

They are the best!

Can we get some, Mamá?

Gonna get!

A yummy treat!

For Abuela-- (record scratch) Uh... Rosie?

I think your present is rolling away.

Huh?

(cart bell dinging) (Rosie sighs) You'll find another present, prima.

I know it.

(Abuela clapping) ¡Vámos familia!

Time to go!

Ooh, where are we going now?

To the mercado!

We took a picture in front of the Christmas tree.

Now I have to get poinsettia flowers for Noche Buena!

Picture... poinsettias.

(Rosie and Javi): Picture... poinsettias!

¡Vamos!

(laughing, cheering) (upbeat music) (Abuela): Here we are at my favorite mercado!

- Oh!

- Wow-mazing!

Cheddar Cheese Louise!

I don't know where to look first!

(sniffing) Or smell first.

Oh!

Or taste first!

Yeah.

There's so much stuff!

I know I'll find a present for Abuela here.

(gasps) Like a coolamadoole hat!

Crystal!

Will you help me pick a hat for Abuela?

Me?

Help pick a hat?

Hmm...

I'll need light, a mirror, and a plate of quesadillas.

Why do you need quesadillas?

Have you smelled this deliciousness?

Mmm... (giggling) Okay.

How about this one?

Too flowery.

This one?

Oh!

(Rosie giggling) (Rosie): Too wobbly!

Hmm...

This one?

Ooh!

¡Perfecto!

Thanks for your help, Crystal!

No problem.

Ooh!

(Javi): Rosie!

Javi, look!

I found a present for Abuela!

¡Un sombrero!

I love it!

Hooray dance?

¡Sale y vale!

(both): Elbow bump, silly jump, muévete!

(giggling) (Rosie gasps) Mama Macaroni!

Someone just bought my present!

(sighs) That's okay, prima.

You'll find another present for-- Abuela!

(clapping) ¡Vamos, familia!

Let's go!

(giggling) Where are we going now?

I've got my picture... and my poinsettias.

Now I need... A piñata!

Picture.

Poinsettias.

Piñata!

(both): Picture.

Poinsettias.

Piñata!

Huh?

But Abuela... Aren't piñatas for birthday parties?

Sí, they can be.

But en México, lots of families break a piñata at Noche Buena.

It's part of our celebration.

¡Vamos a las piñatas!

(cheering, laughing) (Rosie): Wow... (Javi): So many piñatas... Can we help pick the piñata, Mamá?

¡Sí!

Can we?

(both): Por favor?

(giggling) Sí, you can help.

¡Órale!

(laughing) (gasps) Maybe my present for Abuela can be a piñata to keep at her house!

Oh yeah!

Hmm... (Javi): But which one?

How 'bout... this one!

¡Ayúdame!

(struggling grunts) Do you think this will fit in her car?

I really don't.

Me neither.

(sighs) I guess I need to find another present for her.

We got the piñata!

And the goodies to put inside!

(giggling) ¡Vamos, familia!

Where are we going now?

- ¡A mi casa!

- Home?

¡Sí!

We have everything we need.

Picture.

Poinsettia.

Piñata.

Now we can start our Noche Buena celebration!

Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo!

Yay!

Wait a secamadoodle!

But what about Abuela's present?!

(sighs) I looked all over and still don't have a Christmas present, and now it's time for Noche Buena and...

I need to flop.

Breathe in... (inhaling) Breathe out... (exhaling) Wiggle about.

Now I'm ready to figure this out!

¡Vamos a ver!

I need to call Abuela!

Rosalía?

I'm right here!

Oh yeah!

Rosie's Rule: sometimes you don't need to call your Abuela... because she's right next to you!

¿Qué pasa?

I forgot your Christmas present at home in Texas.

And I looked everywhere for another one but...

I didn't find anything.

Ay mi Rosalía, that is so thoughtful.

But...

I already have my Christmas present.

You do?

Where?

(giggling) It's you!

Well, that's new information!

I'm your present?!

You all are!

Having you and the whole family together for Noche Buena is the best present I could ever hope for.

Aw!

Te quiero, Abuela.

Te quiero, Rosalía.

¡Las quiero!

Oh!

(together): ¡Los quiero!

(giggling) I love you all.

But we really need to get home for Noche Buena.

- Good point.

- Let's go!

- Yes!

Let's go!

- ¡Ya casi es hora!

Back home!

(rhythmic music) (giggling) Ah... (giggling) It's Noche Buena time!

- Noche Buena!

- Yay!

Time to celebrate!

And break a piñata!

And have a deeyummy dinner!

And open presents at midnight!

(doorbell rings) (both): ¡Feliz Navidad!

(laughing) Lili!

Vero!

- ¡Hola!

- Merry Christmas!

We brought presents!

And ponche!

What's ponche?

It's a delicious fruit drink we have at Christmastime.

I made it myself.

With my help.

(laughing) That's true.

(upbeat music) ¡Gracias!

(laughing) Mmm!

(both): Thank you!

- Mmm!

- Deeyummy!

Let the Noche Buena celebration... begin!
