This year the holidays seem to be rubbing Archie the wrong way. He can't stand that damn happy music blasting in the stores and all over the radio. The decorations went up far too early - and don't even get Archie started on how cheery everyone is. Seeing the holidays cause Archie to slip back into a depression, Adze decides to take matters into his own hands. The one thing his mate has always wanted is to see the Tudor houses in England. Besides, it's the perfect time to escape the humdrum heat in Melbourne. Adze can't think of anything better than curling up in front of a roaring fire with his mate while snow falls outside. Of course, life would never be that easy. Baby demon stowaways and a Christmas Krampus hell-bent on doing good leave the pair wondering just where things went wrong.
