Clarice Bean usually looks forward to Christmas. Except this year it is going to be a quiet-ish Christmas in her house, which doesn't feel right because Christmas is all about noisiness and being full up and FAMILY. And without those things, she is going to have to try exceptionordinarily hard to stop the Christmas spirit completely floating away...

Clarice Bean is back to save her family's Christmas in this story of joy, goodwill to all peoplekind, and some very Clarice catastrophes.
