The Munsters' Scary Little Christmas

Plot

Eddie Munster is feeling homesick for Transylvania, so his father Herman decides the family needs a traditional Transylvanian Christmas to lift his spirits. Herman, Lily, Grandpa, and Marilyn send invitations to the extended Munster clan, including the Wolfman, Mummy, and Gill-Man. To fund the celebration, Herman asks his boss for a raise but gets fired instead, then takes odd jobs like modeling nude for an art class, donating blood, and wrapping presents.

On the night before Christmas Eve, one of Grandpa's experiments goes wrong and accidentally brings Santa Claus and his elves to the Munster mansion. With no way to send Santa home, Christmas is in jeopardy. Meanwhile, Marilyn falls in love, Lily enters a home decorating contest, nosy neighbor Edna Dimitty stirs up trouble, and Eddie faces bullies at school.
