SUMMARY
Plot/Synopsis: Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) is getting ready for the holidays by visiting Santa at the mall. Later on, the so called "Santa" sells him marijuana in the mall's parking garage. Dumped by Vanessa, Kumar has let himself go by not pursuing a career as a doctor, poor hygiene and cleaning habits and still living in the now messy apartment that has been vacated by Harold Lee (John Cho), now a successful businessman on Wall St. 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, with Kenneth sacrificing himself to prevent Harold from taking the brunt of it. Meanwhile, Vanessa (Danneel Harris) visits Kumar and tells him that she's pregnant with his child, which shocks him and two get into an argument with Vanessa leaving.
After he arrives home, Harold is seduced by Maria (Paula Garces), but their attempt to get pregnant is interrupted by the arrival of her father (Danny Trejo), who already dislikes Koreans and dislikes Harold. He explains to Harold that he never had a perfect Christmas and he is counting on Harold to make this one the best for his daughter. He has also brought a tree which he has grown for 8 years and is the perfect Christmas tree. When a package addressed to Harold arrives at Kumar's apartment, Kumar decides to deliver it to Harold. The package turns out to be a large marajuana joint that Kumar cannot resist smoking. Since Harold has gotten married and does not get high anymore, he knocks the lit joint out of Kumar's hands and it lands in the tree, causing a fire that destroys it. To replace it, Harold reserves one of the last decent Christmas trees available. Kumar, feeling bad that he may have ruined Christmas for his now estranged friend Harold, decides to look for a replacement tree and ends up bribing the tree store into selling him the same tree that Harold had reserved. When Harold sees the car with the tree drive away, he chases him and 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 window and explains he will stop smoking weed for the sake of her unborn baby and will retake the exams to become a doctor. 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.
