5 man team with colors and tubes makes me think of Alpha Teens on Machines and Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!

So, I remember a while ago I watched this 2D-Animated Christmas special. All I remember is that there was a Five-Man Band of I think superheroes. They have a secret base and when they're summoned to save the day they jump into these elevator-tube things that might put on their costumes or whatever but it's really just an excuse to have them all standing in triumphant poses, facing the viewer, in columns of colored light corresponding to their color schemes (I think). The Christmas Special ended with them somehow standing by Jesus's manger (oddly, the show seemed to be set in the present day. Maybe there was time travel?) There was another thing, and it doesn't seem relevant to Christmas at all so whoever showed it to us might've accidentally left it running and showed us another episode. This one had one of the team members be injured and out of commission, so when they got called the member's pet (a hamster) filled in. It ended with *everyone* being injured, and then the phone rings and *everyone's* pets jumping into the tubes and doing the pose thing.
