[narrator] 'Tis the holiday season
and on top of Demi's house,
something small was stirring and it wasn't a mouse.
A little green thing from somewhere not near,
heard our planet had something called holiday cheer.
So this visitor came down on their out of space sleigh.
Ready to experience A Very Demi Holiday.

Hey, everyone! And welcome to A Very Demi Holiday Special.
Thank you so much for coming to celebrate with us.
You know, sometimes, it's hard
to make it home for the holidays.
Whether is work or the weather,
but regardless you've gotta celebrate
the special time of the year.
So what makes this A Very Demi Holiday?
It's about finding joy, no mater who you're with,
and no mater where you are.
All you need is good music, good food and good vibes
with the humans or non-humans you love.
So join me and my chosen family as we ring in
A Very Demi Holiday.

[jingle bell rings]
[Tiffany] This is nice!
[Demi] Doesn't this look so cute?
- OK. - Oh, I'm so excited.
Yes. So I brought all of this.
- OK. You brought money? - You know it.
- Sick! - Got you some money too.
[jingle bell rings]
Here we are, we're gonna make our ugly holiday sweaters.
And then we're gonna take our ugly holiday card.
Is this the sweaters? These are the sweaters.
Yeah, these are the sweaters. I think I'm gonna take this one.
- [Tiffany] Doing black? - [Demi] Doing black.
And then we've got our glue guns,
right here.
I think I'll do blue.
When you do Christmas, how do you do it?
We do this thing, me and my sisters, where we pretend
that we're walking down the stairs
because in my-- my house in Texas,
where we grew up, we would always walk...
down the stairs and be like,
"Oh my God, the presents."
And so, now, we live in a one story house, here.
So, we just pretend to walk down the stairs, and we're like,
"Oh my God, look at all the presents."
- And it's cute. - I love it.
We kept that tradition alive.
So I found out that you are Jewish.
My grandma kept telling me that--
is my people. I did not believe her.
Because I feel like she just tells me things
- just to make me feel good. - Mm-hmm.
Anyways.
I finally meet my dad and he is like, "It is true."
I tough that bar mitzvah meant you get on a bar
and then you show your "mitzvah".
[Tiffany] But, ah... That is not what it means.
And I was like, "I'm gonna lean into it."
Because I enjoy the religion a lot.
I enjoy the way they celebrate each other and how they...
It's like family and togetherness.
I celebrate every year,
I've been celebrating Hanukkah, forever.
I have like, this whole community.
I go to different people's houses and we have so much fun.
So are you making a Hanukkah sweatshirt?
I am. Mine is gonna have money on it, though.
[Demi laughs]
[Demi] I think I'm gonna put Christmas décor.
[Tiffany] "Christmas décor".
- OK, I see you. - I'm just doing the safety pins.
- OK. - [Demi] I made it real ugly.
And... festive.
It looks pretty, actually.
[Demi] Thank you.
For my final touches I'm adding...
bows on the sleeves.
- It looks so good. - I ain't finished yet.
I'm actually pretty excited about mine.
Yours is dope, somebody will pay thousands of dollars for that.
Somebody will buy that off of you for 6,000.
Easy.
- It's couture. - It's cout-- Yes! Yes, darling.
[imitating French accent] Wear it for Paris fashion.
[imitating French accent] Paris.
In Paris.
[speaks normal] Hold up, hold up, one more thing.
I need somebody to always have my back.
[speaks normal] I got you.
Oh, you meant the doll.
I was like, "I got you, I got your back."
- Are we ready? - She ready!
- OK. Look at that. - Here's my sweater.
That's so sick!
- Yours is dope too. - Thank you.
- Oh, I love it. Hey! - Thanks.
Good call on the jingle bells.
That made it go up another $400.
- Yeah! - Just with the jingles.
[Demi laughs]
Yes, she ready!
Work it!
It's time to take our holiday card
in our ugly Christmas sweaters.
- Let's do it! - Let's do it!
[Tiffany] Come on.
[camera flash]
- [Tiffany] Good time. - [Demi] Good times!
Now, what we gonna put on these cards?
What about: "Happy holidays from the two new besties,
- Demi and Tiffany." - Yeah. OK.
"May your new year be amazing!"
I just wanna say, you all did an amazing job today.
No one got on my nerves,
you all get A pluses.
Normally, when I work on sets,
if you get on my nerves, I will give you a citation violation,
but no one was in violation today.
Everyone did an amazing job. I love working with you.
- I love working with you. - You are amazing.
And I see you all on the next project. Goodbye.
- Thank you. - Yes!
Thank you.
I don't give out citations.
- [JoJo] Hi. - Hi. How are you?
- You look so gorgeous. - You look stunning.
- Oh my God. - Hi, baby!
- Hi, how are you. - Damn!
- How are you? - I'm so good.
Thank you so much for doing this with me.
Anytime. You know know how much I love singing with you.
I love singing with you so much.
And I wanted someone to be able to wail with me, and so,
I'm so excited that we're able to do that together.
- Me too. - I think you know this.
That I opened for you in Dallas, Texas.
- Yes. - When I was 12.
Approximately 100 years later,
- we're doing this together! - Now we get to make
- a special for the holidays. - Yes!
- So, I'm so excited. - Me too.
- Should we do this? - Let's... let's do this.
- Let's do this. - Yeah.

[cheering]
- You sounded incredible. - You sounded so great.
Is this leg being out like crazy?
- [man] No, it's amazing. - OK.
I'm like, "Should I put it out? Or should I put it back here?"
[Demi] I feel like it looks fierce. Put it out.
- OK. - Now I'm putting my leg out.
Put your leg out.
[jingle bells ring]
- [Demi] Hi! - [Paris] Hi, love.
- How are you? - [Paris] Amazing.
- Good to see you. - You too.
- So we're back in the kitchen. - Mm-hmm.
I figured we could bake this time and it's the holidays.
So we get to do something for our dogs...
- I know. - ...which is really cute.
- Where are they? - Um, well...
[Demi laughs]
Come here, dogs. Come here.
- This is Batman. - Oh.
And that's Cinderella.
- Hi, Cinderella. - We call her Ella.
- Little blondie. - Yeah.
Should we dress them out?
- Let’s go. - Let's do it.
Your doggy mansion is amazing.
- Yes. - [Demi laughs]
And it's dressed for the holidays.
- Look at these babies. - [dogs barking]
- Hi, guys. - Hello.
[Paris] So that’s Crypto and Ether.
[Demi] Hello. Meet your new friends. Look.
- So cute. - [Paris] No, don't pee on him.
[Demi] Have you ever cooked for your dogs before?
They actually will not even eat dog food.
- So-- - Oh, really?
They like rotisserie chicken or I'm making like Taco Tuesday.
Cute.
Do you get your dogs anything for Christmas?
What do you think?
[both laugh]
- [Demi laughs] - [Paris] Oh, my God!
- [Demi] Oh, my God! Cute! - [Paris] It's so cute.
[Paris] Yes.
Oh, my god, Ella, you're thriving. Look at you.
She's been Parisized. I love it.
[Demi laughs] Yes.
OK, so now that the dogs are dressed,
- I think we should bake. - [Paris] What do you think?
- Let's do it. - [laughs]
This is actually going to be a bake-off
to see whose cake our dogs like better.
- Like this? - Like this.
This is what we're aiming for, a three-tiered meat cake
- It's a meat cake? - [Demi] It's a meat cake.
- [Demi laughs] - That’s hot.
So first step,
you add one cup of rolled oats
into the food processor.
I’ve used a food processor once in my life
so I think I know what I'm doing.
Paris, adds dried cranberries into the food processor.
OK. Are these gonna get like stuck in the blade?
OK, we pulse the food processor.
[Paris] Is it plugged in?
Oh. Yeah, it's plugged in. Um...
[woman] Turn the lid. Make the lid lock.
Oh, you have to lock the lid.
Yeah.
[Demi] I got it.
[Paris] Oh, my God.
Yes.
- OK, I think that's good. - OK.
OK, now you have to chop chicken livers.
I don't even know which one is a chicken liver.
Is that or is that like chocolate mousse?
I don’t think dogs can have chocolate.
- [Paris] True. - OK.
- Maybe we use gloves. - Yes, for sure.
So wait, is this a...?
Oh, my God!
- It's so gross. - I think that's a liver.
- You think? - It's like a, oh...
[gags]
- So gross. - Oh, my God.
Do you want it-- do you want me to take those?
I'm gonna heave. Hold on. That is it.
Or do-- or do you want to chop these?
- Oh, my God. This is Foie gras. - What is that?
Is this Foie gras before it’s cooked?
- [Paris] I don’t know what-- - [Demi] I'll move it to my side.
- [Paris] Is that like it's-- - [Demi] You can do the...
- the less gross one. - [Paris sighs]
- Thank you. - Yeah.
[Paris] I don’t know which one's...
- This thing? The gizzard... - [Demi] Yeah, those.
...which we don't even know what that is.
[Demi] It says chop it.
Like this...
Scissors.
- Oh, my God. - Heave.
Oh, my God. The way this feels...
[chuckle]
- [gags] - Ah...
I'm not gonna Google what this gizzard thing is 'til after
because I don't want to know, I think.
[Demi] Now we scoop a third of peanut butter.
This will make it smell even better.
Some good old peanut butter.
[laughs]
[Paris] Ugh!
Now it just smells
like chicken gizzards and peanut butter.
We're gonna take the mixture
and put it in the cake tins.
So tell me what is it like being a new mom
and having your first Christmas with Phoenix.
I'm so excited. Just looking at his eyes
just like my heart melts. I can't wait.
- Yeah. - So it's gonna be so cute
just to see everything again through their eyes.
Also, our first Christmas, like,
having our families come over for the Christmas holidays.
[Demi] Oh, wow.
I've had some friends come to, like, Christmas morning with me.
And that's been fun having like chosen family
which is really special and a huge part of like
- people that I love and yeah. - It’s nice to include everyone.
Yeah, definitely.
OK, I think it's ready to go.
We can take the gloves off again.
And... Oh, my God, I don't want to touch it.
- And then put it in the oven. - [Paris] Mm-hmm.
OK, now that they're all baked, we get to decorate them.
So this is yogurt powder and water.
I've chosen black because...
I really want it to match my outfit.
- Color-coordinating, I like it. - Color-coordinating. Exactly.
- And you're doing pink. - [Paris] Yes.
I love Barbie-core.
OK, wait, how did you find out that Santa wasn't real?
I literally believed in Santa Claus 'til...
like, forever. I think I was like 14 or something.
- Aw, cute. - Like, I was so...
innocent back then. I still am.
[everyone laughs]
Now we're gonna move on to the piping.
This is mashed potato frosting.
Oh, wow. I love mashed potatoes.
It’s a good idea for like human food,
mashed potato frosting on steak would be sick.
[Demi] Mine’s, um, getting there.
The lengths we're going for our dogs. This is amazing.
- We love our dogs. - Love!
My dogs are such a huge part of the family, obviously.
But during the holidays, like...
having them open presents with us Christmas morning...
- Yes. - ...is really cute and sweet.
OK, we can put the final touches on our cakes.
[Paris] OK.
See...
- This looks like a big... - Black sprinkles.
...purple piece of you know what.
[laughs]
It’s coming out of the dog, too.
Yeah, I don't like that a lot.
- [Paris] All right. - [Demi] There we go.
Shall we compare to...?
Yes.
Our inspiration.
They’re all beautiful in their own way.
[Paris] In their own way, yeah.
[Demi] Yours is so cute.
OK, let's see which cake our dogs like the best.
Yes.
[laugh]
[jingle bells ring]
How do you think we did?
I think we slayed.
- We slayed. For sure. - Mm-hm.
OK, let's see...
whose cake the dogs like better.
[Paris] All right.
Yes.
Ok, the moment of truth.
- Here we go. - Let’s do it.
[Paris] You guys ready for some snacks?
- [barks] - [Demi] You want treats?.
Treats?
- Oh, my goodness cake. - Who loves cake?
[Paris] Who loves pink?
[Demi] Oh, yes! Yes!
OK. Hello? Guys?
[laugh]
Well... I'm the winner!
[Paris] What? [sighs]
That means you have to cook dinner tonight.
OK. Do you want lasagna?
- Yes. Please, let's go. - Let’s do it.
Enjoy.
Come on, dogs.
[jingle bells ring]
OK, so you guys have seen how good I am at making things.
You’ve seen my holiday dog treats,
my ugly Christmas sweater,
and now I think I really outdid myself.
So, I'm going to give this gift to one of my friends,
- and hopefully, she likes it. - [jingle bells ring]
Hey, everyone. It's Haley Bieber and I just got this gift
from my friend Demi.
I don't know what's inside of here,
but I'm going to open it and see what we got.
"To Hailey. XO, Demi.
Hope your holiday is out of this world."
I have zero guesses of what this might be.
Oh!
It's a Nutcracker alien!
I love him. I'm gonna call him...
I don't know what I'm gonna call him.
What does he look like to you guys?
Norm. Norm the Nutcracker.
Yes! Demi, thank you so much for Norm.
Norm the Nutcracker is now a member of the Bieber family.
I think this is a good spot for Norm.
This is where he's gonna live now.
Happy holidays, everyone!
I hope everyone has an amazing holiday.

[jingle bells ring]
- [Trixie gasps] Hello! - Hi! How are you?
Hi, good.
- Oh, it's so nice to see you. - Nice to see you.
- You're warming up already. Wow! - I’m warming up.
Look at you all Barbied out.
- [Trixie] I know. - You look amazing.
Oh, thank you. I feel about,
seven feet taller than a Barbie but, uh, about as stiff.
- It’s the hair. - It's the hair, yeah.
When I take the wig off, I'm like four feet tall.
Well, you know what they say,
"The higher the hair, the closer to God."
They also say, "The lower the heels, the closer to Satan."
And I think we're gonna be in ballet flats,
so... I hope we make it.
Oh, my God, that's amazing.
Gosh. We look like real ballet dancers,
- don't we? - I know. We do.
I would buy that you and I are principal ballerinas
for the Russian ballet.
- Sure. - [both laugh]
And the good news is if we mess up steps,
I'm big enough that I can just...
step in front of you,
- and people won't even know. - It's perfect.
Are you ready to learn the Nutcracker Ballet?
I think I learned that getting in this outfit, but yes.
- OK, let’s do this. - [jingle bells ring]
[jingle bells ring]
- Oh, my God. - Oh, my God.
- We're not doing that. - We're not doing that.
- Should we turn around? - Yeah.
- [Trixie] Hi. - Hello.
Hello there. How are you?
- Demi. Nice to meet you. - Raphael, pleasure to meet you.
Actually, I’m a hugger. Bring it in.
- OK. How’s it going? - Good. How are you?
Hi. Jennifer Coolidge, nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you. Pleasure to meet you.
How you guys doing? What's going on?
- Good. - Yeah?
What's your experience with, uh, ballet?
Well, I took ballet
from when I was about three to five years old.
- So, it's been a minute. - OK. Got it, got it.
How about you, Trixie?
I danced for the Joffrey Ballet for about 11 years.
And then I realized the reason there were so many poles around,
is because it was actually a strip club.
[laugh]
So here's what we'll be doing today.
I'm gonna be taking you through a couple of ballet movements.
So you can string them together
and make your own version of The Nutcracker ballet.
- Cool? OK. - OK.
So what we have behind us is a nice little bar.
- OK. - If you guys could accompany me.
I'm here to tell you this is not a bar.
- Not a bar? - I know what a bar looks like.
[laughs]
So our first position, we're going to start in parallel
just like you guys are doing right now. Perfect.
And then from here, I want you to walk your toes out
one at a time. One...
two... three... four...
...over bringing that reterie up and over front. Bam.
Aahh!
[laugh]
Nailing it.
And that's how Trixie Mattel died.
- [Raphael] No, no, no. - Yep.
Trixie...
are you comfortable with getting on the floor?
I've never been more comfortable with anything.
So I want you to take a knee.
You're going to switch, take this knee down.
[beep] you. OK. Yeah.
- [groans] - Nice. Oh, OK. Careful, careful.
And she didn't help at all. Did you see that?
- I'm sorry. - Just shoves me down.
That's your friend.
That is your friend. That is your friend.
You know, a lot about performing is trusting the people
you're on stage with is all I’m saying.
It seems like you guys aren't building that trust yet.
But here-- here we go.
From here, I want you to chaine.
So turn into Trixie’s knee. Yes.
- Yes. - Turn. Yep, yep. Go keep going.
- What do I do? - You go, turn this way.
- Will you show me? - This way.
- Oh. - Sit down. And then ta-ta.
This is the ventriloquism section.
[Raphael] Yes. Yes. Puppeteering.
- Yes. - [Raphael] And that's it.
- I think you're gonna be fine. - Just if everything goes south,
just know that you killed America's sweetheart,
- Trixie Mattel. - [Raphael] Oh!
[laugh]
Two highly accomplished dancers,
Demi Lovato and Trixie Mattel,
are attempting a truly remarkable feat,
using their truly remarkable feet.
If these rumors are true,
and Lovato and Mattel are daring to indeed
take on the Nutcracker...
I wish them all the luck in the world.
["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from The Nutcracker plays]
- [applause] - [cheering]
- Oh, wow! Thank you! Thank you. - Oh, wow! Thank you!
Thank you so much.
[both] Thank you.
Yay!
So no cash? OK, just flowers. Perfect.
News just in.
It appears to be official.
Lovato and Mattel actually did accomplish the impossible.
They did a version of The Nutcracker ballet
with less than an hour of training.
That is like trying to hit a major league baseball fastball
with an hour of training.

[producer] All right, Bella, can you tell me your name?
Today we're going to meet
an 11-year-old superfan named Bella.
She is such a miracle.
She survived a heart and lung transplant
when she was just 14 months old. And the doctors had told
her parents that she wouldn't make it past one.
But she's 11, and she's such a fighter
and such an inspiration. And I'm so excited to meet her.
I wanted to show you guys some videos of how cute she is.
OK.
Hi, this is Bella. I had a heart and lung transplant.
The doctors used to call me a fish out of water
because I couldn't breathe.
I lived in the hospital for almost 500 days.
Thanks to my Children's Hospital I'm doing great today.
Uh, to sing, dance, play with my sisters,
and I like to listen to music.
I like Demi Lovato.
Anything that a healthy child like to do.
- [Demi] So cute. - Love you. Bye.
- [assistant] Cute! Yeah. - She's so cute.
- OK, should we go surprise her? - [assistant] Yes!
Let's do it.
[Demi] Hi.
How's it going?
- Good. - It's so nice to meet you.
Aw. You’re so sweet.
Well, I just wanted to say
you're such an inspiration to me.
I'm here shooting my holiday special.
Speaking of the holidays, I wanted to give you a gift
because I know how much you love music.
- So can I give you that gift? - Oh!
It's a guitar,
and I wrote a little note on it for you.
- Oh. - [Bella laughs]
[Demi] Do you want to hold it? It matches your glasses.
It's perfect.
[Demi laughs]
Well, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to join me
on stage where you can watch me perform.
Would you like that? Yeah?
OK, let's go do that. You wanna go?
- Here. Let's go. - Go ahead, Bella. Go ahead.
- I’m coming right behind you. - There we go.
Aw, that's so special.
- Are you excited to be here? - [Bella] Mm-hmm.
Nice. Well, this is the stage.
- Doesn't it look so pretty? - [Bella] Mm-hmm.
Now all we need is you and your pink guitar rocking out
on the stage.
Should we get the band in here?
Cool. And you guys can sit right there.

[narrator] As midnight struck and the calendar page turned,
our new friend realized how much it had learned.
It was time to bring some of the spirit to space to show
you can celebrate the holidays no matter the place.
So from our family to yours,
whether chosen or not,
happy holidays to all.
We love you a lot.
Also aliens are real, and I'm going to Mars, bitches.
