It's the holiday season, and the Botsfords have planned a wonderful cheese festivity! But Dr. Two Brains also has plans for a cheeseful holiday and, of course, that involves stealing the holiday cheese brought to the party. Will WordGirl recover the stolen goods, or will it be a cheeseless holiday for the Botsfords?

Tropes:

  • Ban on Politics: Subverted. This is actually the topic of small talk that Dr. Two-Brains opens with at his party.
    Dr. Two-Brains: So...politics. Interesting. Don’t you think?
  • Chimney Entry: WordGirl crashes Dr. Two-Brains party by flying in through the chimney. Captain Huggyface then comes falling down after her.
  • Christmas Episode: The Botsfords’ cheese-themed Christmas party attracts the attention of Dr. Two-Brains.
  • Christmas Miracle: When a giant ball of cheese appears in their living room, Mr. Botsford calls it a holiday miracle.
  • Distinction Without a Difference:
    Dr. Two-Brains: I’m not much for sports, but I love athletics.
  • Dreaming of a White Christmas: TJ wants nothing more than for it to snow on Christmas. He finally gets his wish at the end of the episode.
  • Faint in Shock: Edith von Hoosinghaus faints when her priceless cheese diamond is stolen. She even announces that she’s fainting.
  • Forced to Watch: Since the jails are closed for the holidays, WordGirl ties up Dr. Two-Brains and his henchmen outside her house and forces them to watch as the partygoers eat all the coveted cheese.
  • Funny Photo Phrase: When Mr. Botsford takes a group picture at their cheese-themed party.
    Mr. Botsford: Okay cheese dishes, say "people"! I just told the cheese to say people, because when you take a picture of people you tell them to say cheese! Get it?
  • A Gift for Themselves: Dr. Two-Brains uses his henchmen’s money to buy himself a Christmas gift and then excitedly thanks them for it.
  • Laugh with Me!: After he successfully steals all the cheese, Dr. Two-Brains does an Evil Laugh and gets his henchmen to join in. They’re not quite as enthusiastic though.
  • On Three: As the family is getting ready to sing carols, Mr. Botsford says they’ll go on three.
    Mr. Botsford: A one and a two and a four and a three!
  • Saving Christmas: A strange variation. When Dr. Two-Brains steals all the cheese from the party, WordGirl has to save the day to avoid a very cheese-less holiday.
  • Shoddy Shindig: Dr. Two-Brains’ cheese “festivity” is attended by only him and his two henchmen and is filled with awkward small talk.
  • Song Parody: The Botsfords sing a cheese-themed one of “Oh, Christmas Tree”.
  • Strange Minds Think Alike: Both WordGirl and one of Dr. Two-Brain’s henchmen ask if the Secret Ingredient for Dr. Two-Brain’s cheese punch is love. Turns out, it’s more cheese.
  • Themed Party: The Botsfords are having a cheese-themed Christmas party.
  • Teleport Gun: Dr. Two-Brains alters his new periscope to act as one so he can steal all the cheese from the Botsfords' party.
  • True Meaning of Christmas: The Botsfords learn that people make the holidays special, not cheese.
  • Unwilling Suspension: Dr. Two-Brains does this to WordGirl and Captain Huggyface by using rope cheese, “from the makers of string cheese.”
