A Fairly Odd Christmas (also known as A Fairly Odd Movie 2) is a 2012 television film that is the sequel to the 2011 live-action TV film A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! and the second live-action adaptation of the Nickelodeon animated television series The Fairly OddParents. This was Drake Bell's second appearance in a Christmas-themed Nickelodeon film, the first being Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh.
The Nickelodeon Original Movie was first announced on March 14, 2012. The film aired on Nickelodeon on November 29, 2012, and received 4.473 million viewers on its premiere date.
The film was released on DVD December 17, 2013. The television film was released on Blu-ray on December 15, 2015.
The film continues from the events of A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! Timmy Turner (Drake Bell), his fairies (Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof), and Tootie (Daniella Monet) have been traveling around the world, granting wishes for others.
A few days before Christmas, Santa Claus and the elves go to check who's naughty and who's nice. However, Santa realizes that with Timmy already granting wishes for others, people have had their names removed from the nice list. Christmas Carol and Dingle Dave, two elves confront Timmy, his fairies, and Tootie and tells them that Santa wants to talk to Timmy. When they get to his workshop, Santa explains that he wants Timmy to stop granting wishes and explains that with great power, comes great responsibility (a reference to Spider-Man whom Drake Bell currently voices). Just then, an elf tells him that the gift wrapping machine is broken. When Santa wishes for it to be fixed, Timmy decides to grant it. However, since fairy magic does not work in "an elf-made building", the magic instead turns into a blast that causes Santa to fall into the machine; an impact to the head has brain-damaged him as well and causes him to act like the Easter Bunny and other things. As a result of a lack of Christmas spirit, the workshop malfunctions and shuts down.
