It's a magical time in the kingdom of Corona! Wreaths are hung at every door, decorations were put up at each home and shop, and the citizens are abuzz with cheer.

One of the biggest holidays of the year is coming soon. There's also going to be a party at the castle on Christmas Eve. Which means there's still a lot more to get ready before the celebrations.

(Instrumental)

Citizens: Christmas Eve is almost here
There's so much left to do

Varian runs around the city, looking through the windows of the shops. Ruddiger, his pet raccoon, was riding on his shoulders.

V: Still need to shop for all my friends
But what to get? No clue!

He zooms past Lance, Kiera/Angry, and Catalina/Red, who are looking at tree ornaments.

Cat: This one is nice, and that's so cute
Although, that's pretty too

The shop-keepers are placing items in boxes.

SK: Why do I make all these gifts each year?
I doubt I'll make it through

Lance and the two girls then join Varian as they're now walking on Main Street.

L, V, K, C: One more day before the cheer

Cor.: Shop! Pay! Box! Wrap! Bow! Repeat!

L, V, K, C: One Last chance before the holiday's here

Cor.: Box! Wrap! Bow! Again!

L, V, K, C: One more day to make the holiday great
One more day before we celebrate

Lance and Kiera: One day, and then it's here

Cor.: One more day to bring that holiday cheer

Attila walks by the shops with groceries in his arms. He was heading towards his bakery and Monty's Sweet Shoppe.

Att.: Christmas Eve is almost here
A day for us to share

Monty: Friends and family altogether

The Snuggly Ducking, including the Hook brothers, are all here to help with the preparations.

Att.: Thugs and Royals and a pair

Monty: Together families, lots of work
There's so much to prepare

Both: With all the planning we still have to do
We've got no time to spare

The Snuggly Duckling pub thugs went inside with the two to get started.

All: One more day before the cheer

Hook Bros.: Stuff! Box! Wrap! Card! Bow! Repeat!

All: One last chance before the holiday's here

Attila and Monty poured and added ingredients into a large bowl. Vladimir putting the finished goods into the oven to bake.

Attila: Stir! Pour! Bake! Again!

All: One more day to make the holiday bright

Outside, citizens are waiting outside Feldspar's shoe shop.

Feldspar: One more day, and I can sleep at night

Monty: The family's almost here

Thugs: One more chance to bring to bring that holiday cheer

Coronans are visiting shop to shop to find the perfect gift for their friends and families.

All: Before the fun, there's preparation
(Just around the corner)

Children are having a snowball fight near the fountain.

Shopping, cooking, decorations
(The complications)

A women was placing a freshly-baked pie on a window sill.

It's all worth it in the end
Spreading joy to all your friends

A group of people are holding handfuls of presents. One had lots of boxes towering over them, which causes the boxes to fall.

Even when it never, ever
Ever seems to end
Aah!

Meanwhile, at the castle, maidens and servants were decorating the ballroom. Eugene was carrying multiple boxes of tinsel and garland.

E: Christmas Eve is getting close
We're not prepared, I fear

He dashed to Rapunzel, who was going over a list of what to do for the party.

E: Blondie, you should take a break

R: No time for rest, that much is clear
I made a list and checked it twice
There's lots to do on here

She gives the list to her fiancé and rushed to the front door, putting on her winter attire.

Oh, if I can't get everything done

She opens the door and ran towards the city.
Eugene, already in his coat and hat, followed her while still holding the list.

I'll have to wait and celebrate next year

Unbeknownst to the two, the long list has wrapped up Lance, Kiera, and Catalina, who were walking past them.

All: One more day before the cheer
Shop! Pay! Box! Wrap! Bow! Repeat!

Rapunzel and Eugene ran past Varian and Ruddiger, who also got tied up in the list.

One last chance before the holiday's here
Box! Wrap! Bow! Again!

A few more people got wrapped up in the process.

One more day to make the holiday great
One more day before we celebrate

Braided haired girls: Please, oh, please make it really, really great!

One person was holding multiple presents.

Citizen: One more gift, try to hurry, don't be late!

A shopkeeper was waking up her partner.

Shopkeeper: Box! Wrap! Bow! Repeat! Gotta concentrate!

All: Just one more day until we all celebrate!

"C'mon Eugene!" Rapunzel calls out, frantically.

"Whoa." The former thief pulled on the list as it surprisingly got heavy for some reason.

The two then turn around to see their annoyed friends and Coronans wrapped around the list.
