AN OLD ADVESARY RETURNS TO SEEK REVENGE ON THE CHILDREN OF EARTH!
The Mihmiverse Holiday Special is the seventeenth film by Christopher R. Mihm and the seventeenth film in the Mihmiverse Shared Universe.
Set after The Phantom Lake Kids In: The Beast Walks Among Us, the film is a direct follow-up to the events depicted in Danny Johnson Saves the World. Stu, the nephew of Steve, comes to Evelyn Johnson on Christmas Eve, with the distressing news that his uncle had disappeared and that the Evil Queen who formerly ruled his Innocent Aliens race has escaped from prison. With Danny Johnson unavailable to save the world (due to being away at college) Evelyn must step in and help Stu to find his missing uncle by teaching him the meaning of Christmas and saving Santa Claus. It Makes Sense in Context.
This film provides examples of:
- Adults Are Useless: Evelyn doesn't even think of going to her parents to ask them for help.
- Christmas Special
- Creator Cameo: Christopher R. Mihm plays Santa Claus and once again provides the voice of Steve.
- Credits Gag: No puppets or evil monster snow-people were harmed in the making of this film.
- Exactly What It Says on the Tin: The title says it all.
- Homage: To The '50s Sci-Fi Horror, cheesy childrens' holidays specials and Santa Claus Conquers the Martians.
- How the Character Stole Christmas: The Evil Queen tries to ruin Christmas to get revenge on the children of Earth who foiled her plans in Danny Johnson Saves the World.
- Innocent Aliens: With the exception of their former queen, Steve and Stu's race are mostly kind and loving aliens who hate violence and are dependent on humans to solve most of their problems.
- Kid Hero: Evelyn Johnson, who proves just as capable as her big brother, Danny, when it comes to saving the world and/or Christmas.
- Kitschy Local Commercial: Most of the Parody Commercial segements.
- Parody Commercial: There are mock commercials throughout the special.
- Uncle John's Burger-Dogs.
- Old Man Yates' Root Beer.
- A recruitment advertisement for the Phantom Lake Canoe Corps and the Paddle Girls Canoe Corps Women's Auxiliary.
- A toy commercial for the Stick-Thing, which is the hottest toy of the year and not an alien that seeks to devour your spiritual essence.
- Power of Love: Evelyn Johnson helps Santa to break the Evil Queen's mind control by talking about how wonderful Christmas is and singing a carol.
- Saving Christmas: Evelyn Johnson has to stop the Evil Queen from destroying Christmas by mind-controlling Santa Claus.
- Sequel: To Danny Johnson Saves the World, with Danny's sister Evelyn stepping up to fight the Evil Queen.
- Suspiciously Specific Denial: The Stick-Thing, which is NOT an alien from deep space which seeks to consume your soul.
- The Cameo: Michael Kaiser, who plays the monsters in most Mihmiverse movies, has a cameo playing himself in a Parody Commercial for Uncle John's Burger-Dogs.
- The Stinger: A post-credit scene reveals Chip, Butch and Billy Blue from The Phantom Lake Kids In: The Beast Walks Among Us and The Phantom Lake Kids In: The Unseen Invasion are still hanging around the Johnson house, despite it being Christmas Day.
