'''''A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas''''' is the 2011 sequel to ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'' and ''Film/HaroldAndKumarEscapeFromGuantanamoBay''.

Two years have passed since ''Escape''. [[JohnCho Harold]] has married Maria and moved out of the apartment. [[Creator/KalPenn Kumar]] is still living in the apartment, was expelled from medical school for failing a drug test, and broke up with Vanessa. When circumstances bring them back together, Kumar accidentally destroys a beloved [[PricelessMingVase Christmas tree]] belonging to Harold's [[Creator/DannyTrejo father-in-law]] and our heroes must frantically search for a replacement before he finds out.

Filming was delayed because Creator/KalPenn took a leave of absence from Hollywood in 2009 for an indeterminate time to work for the Obama administration. In 2010 he left the administration so that work can begin on the third movie, in probably the first case of a public servant leaving to pursue acting in a stoner comedy and then allowed to return immediately after.

* Bowdlerise: The TV version dubs over all instances of "fucking" with "freaking"...but makes no effort to censor the references to drugs and sex scenes.

* TongueOnTheFlagpole: Harold, but it's not his tongue. Also, Kumar is shown watching the infamous scene in ''AChristmasStory'' in his apartment.

* BillingDisplacement: Not that Creator/NeilPatrickHarris isn't funny, but he's in only three scenes.

* ThreeDMovie: Mocked at the beginning, and gratuitously exploited throughout the rest of the movie.

* ManChild: Kumar; part of the plot is focused on him learning that he needs to grow up.

* TongueOnTheFlagpole: Harold, but it's not his tongue.
