Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh is a 2008 Nickelodeon TV movie continuing the series, where Drake promises a young fan, Mary Alice, the best Christmas ever, leading to comical chaos as they try to give her foster family a perfect holiday while facing trouble from a stern officer and dealing with a mischievous Megan, culminating in heartwarming holiday spirit and a snowy surprise, all while juggling a failed Christmas party at The Premiere theater.

Why Does This Even Exist???
After a solid Series finale to a Nickelodeon classic, the stars decided to come back for a pointless holiday special that at any other point, at best, would have just been okay, but here, feels like a complete mess.
If you miss the first half of the special and just watch the last half, it's a harmless charming Christmas special.
But as a whole taking place after the original ending, it messes with the ending while also not making the slightest lick of sense in terms of timeline & plot.
The inciting incident even for Teen Nick standards is ABSOLUTELY Rediculous and feels beyond lazy and forced. Josh is arrested for no reason, pushed off a roof by cops, ends up in the slammer, followed by Drake, and now they have to give kids the Best Christmas Ever???
If you found the Series Finale of Drake & Josh satisfying, skip this special. It's not worth it.

Tbh - I don't like this movie at all. It's just not nearly as funny as the show as I was forcing myself to laugh many of the times instead of laughing at the scenes naturally (like in the show and even in the Go Hollywood movie). It's pretty cliché too. Tho one thing I really appreciated in the movie is how they made Drake take situations seriously again, cause if that were a regular episode on season 3 or 4, he definitely wouldn't give two shits about the foster kids and spend the whole movie looking for girls to kiss or something. I dunno, man, it just didn't click with me.
