Plot: Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) is getting ready for the holidays by visiting Santa at the mall. Later on, the so called "Santa" sells him weed in the mall's parking garage. The story soon follows Harold Lee (John Cho), now a successful businessman who works at a popular company. His assistant, Kenneth (Bobby Lee) persuades him into buying a 3D television, and notes it can make "Avatar look Avatarded". When leaving the building, they are mobbed by angry citizens who throw eggs at them.
At Maria's (Paula Garces) Christmas party, Harold meets Maria's father (Danny Trejo). He explains to Harold, to accidentally ruined the Christmas tree, that he never had a perfect Christmas and he is counting on Harold to make this one the best for his daughter, Harold's wife Maria. Harold reserves a tree that Kumar intentionally steals. The car with Kumar's tree on crashes and blows up on the highway. Harold argues with Kumar right before introducing them to their new friends. Harold, Kumar, Todd, Adrian and Todd's daughter drive to a party in New York to retrieve a Christmas tree at Adrian's partners party. It takes a turn for the worse and Harold and Kumar are forced to go to Broadway, where hopefully Neil Patrick Harris can get them one.After a wild night of performing an Broadway, getting kidnapped and shooting Santa Claus, Harold and Kumar return to their regular lives. Harold invites Kumar to his Christmas party the following day. Later on in the evening, Kumar sneaks through Vanessa's (Danneel Harris) window and explains he will stop smoking weed for the sake of her unborn baby. Harold returns to Maria's house with her father waiting on the couch. The two argue until Harold explains he might not be the perfect son-in-law, but he is the perfect man for Maria. Maria's dad hesitates before accepting him into the Perez Family.
The film ends with Harold and Kumar celebrating Christmas with their families and Kumar having sex with Vanessa before her stomach goes fat on him. The end credits include the cast names followed by a snowflake with their picture in it.
A very funny movie for any Harold & Kumar fan. This might even be the best one yet! It was the perfect length, all the jokes were hilarious, and I wouldn't change any of it! If you're expecting Shakespeare, you ain't getting it. If you came to laugh your a*s off though, This is the right film to watch. Merry Christmas!!!
