Dominick and Erick wake up to find they have been transformed into Grinch fans overnight. They soon discover a letter from the Grinch, who has stolen a nutcracker and plans to ruin Christmas. The Grinch also sends them a quiz with questions about his preferences. Dominick and Erick try to answer the quiz to appease the Grinch, but they struggle with the questions, especially when they have to choose between their loyalty to Christmas and their desire to please the Grinch.
After completing the quiz, they receive another letter from the Grinch, informing them that they have been hired as his helpers. The Grinch plans to use them to help him destroy Christmas, just like Santa's elves help him prepare for the holiday.
