"A Very Casagrandes Christmas" is a special half-hour Christmas episode of the Nickelodeon animated series The Casagrandes, the spin-off of The Loud House. It is the sixth episode produced for the show's second season (though it was the season's second episode to air). It is Christmas Eve in Great Lakes City, and for the Santiagos and Casagrandes, it's the last night of Las Posadas. Bobby and especially Ronnie Anne are looking forward to this Nochebuena as it is their first one since their father, Arturo, came to live near them in the city. In the apartment, we see the rest of the Casagrande family making their final preparations for the evening, including Carlota making papel picado decorations, Carl making a piñata (which he has obviously rigged), CJ and Carlitos decorating their tree, and Maria and Carlos trying to help Rosa prepare the tamales for dinner. Later, the Casagrandes are prepared to go caroling for Las Posadas, but just as they're about to leave, they find the Chang family at their door. When Ronnie Anne asks what brings them here, Sid and her family explain that Nico and Cam crashed their gravy train (which is a literal toy train) into their Christmas turkey and ruined their dinner. Feeling sorry for their favorite upstairs neighbors, Rosa invites the Changs in for dinner. However, since they're currently out of tamale ingredients and she's already used up the mercado's current supplies, she requests that Arturo run to the Hi 'n' Buy to pick up more. (more...)
