This article is about The Fairly OddParents episode. For the TV One movie, see Merry Wishmas (2018).

"Merry Wishmas" is the second Christmas episode of the Nickelodeon animated series The Fairly OddParents, produced as the eighth episode of the show's sixth season (though it ended up being the season's twelfth episode to air).

Synopsis

It is the day after Christmas, and Cosmo is reading a book titled The Day After Christmas to his son, Poof. As he reads, Timmy is searching among his numerous Christmas gifts, trying to find the sled he wanted. Timmy finds a sled-shaped package, but when he opens it, it turns out to be a snow shovel. As Timmy gets upset about not getting a sled, he soon finds that he's not the only one who didn't get what he wanted for Christmas, as his parents also complain about not getting what they wanted. His father, who did not ask for a sled, got one and throws it in the fireplace instead of giving it to Timmy. Timmy's parents then force him to remove the snow from their driveway with the shovel he just got. Wanda advises Timmy to think about what he has instead of what he doesn't have. But Cosmo then mentions that he uses magic to get the things he doesn't have, thus inspiring Timmy to just wish for a sled.

After the fairies give him a super-fast sled, Timmy then goes to Doomsdale Hill where he and his friends, who also wanted sleds for Christmas, planned to meet and use them. However, it turns out that they didn't get sleds either - A.J. got a printer, Chester got a trash can, and Elmer got a tuba. Inspired by funny comments made by Cosmo and Wanda, Timmy has them dress as mailmen and deliver wish coupons to everyone. Tootie wishes for a flying pink seahorse named Timmy, Sanjay wishes his elephant had a friend named Timmy, Mr. Turner wishes to become a superhero named Nogman, A.J. wishes for a supercomputer (which speaks to him in a voice that he finds creepy), and Chester wishes for a giant flying pizza.

While Cosmo resumes reading his book to Poof, Timmy believes nothing could go wrong with Wishmas, but just then, they hear Vicky complaining about getting only one wish. She decides to wish for a million wishes, causing millions of coupons to flow from her overloaded and exploding mailbox. People then use them to make more wishes, including Sanjay wishing his elephant's friend had forty friends named Timmy, and Nogman wishing for a canine sidekick. All these wishes cause the big wand to suffer an overload, leading Jorgen to deactivate it. Despite being initially angry, Jorgen enjoys the idea of Christmas being replaced with Wishmas, as Santa always took credit for the fairies' work. Desiring to be the new symbol of Wishmas, Jorgen then writes a letter wishing for it and then names Cosmo and Wanda his sidekicks.

To make matters worse, the world's reaction to Wishmas causes Santa to give up on Christmas and move in with the Turners. As a cover story, Timmy claims that he won a contest on the radio where the prize was having Santa living with him. In order to get Santa back to the North Pole, Timmy uses several means to make his stay uncomfortable, including wishing for a heat wave, but none of them work. Mrs. Turner, meanwhile, grows irritated with Santa's elves messing up the house and Mrs. Claus making nothing but milk and cookies for every meal, to the point that she runs off on Thanksgiving, taking the reindeer with her.

When it comes time for the new holiday season, Timmy turns on the news hoping to show Santa people waiting for Christmas, but instead finds people waiting for Wishmas. Claiming that kids don't look at the news, Timmy tries to find a Christmas special but instead find a Wishmas special parodying How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Timmy then gives Santa a letter from a kid (actually Timmy himself) who wants Santa to come back, but Santa just ignores him. Wanda tells Timmy that it will take more than one sad kid to get Santa to come back, which gives Timmy an idea.

When Wishmas day arrives and Jorgen comes to pick up Cosmo and Wanda to help him, Timmy traps his Fairy Godparents within a butterfly net and pulls a trapdoor under Jorgen. When the kids are sad upon not getting the coupons again, Cosmo and Wanda beg their godchild to release them since they can't stand to see sad kids, but Timmy keeps them trapped long enough to make Santa willing to restore Christmas. However, because Santa and his elves haven't made any toys for the past year, it seemed there's no hope until the kids decide to give the toys they got last Wishmas. Santa then uses the Nogmobile as his sleigh (he had sold his previous one to buy food), and Mrs. Turner returns to bring back Santa's reindeer. Jorgen shows up and attempts to stop Santa, but Santa's magic is more powerful than his. As Cosmo starts reading the end of his book, Timmy takes a look at the book and is surprised to find that Santa wrote it. When Timmy asks how Santa how he knew that all of this would happen, the big guy simply replies "Dude, I'm Santa."
