Years after escaping from Guantanamo Bay together, former stoner/banker Harold Lee and his partner in crime/best bud Kumar Patel have become estranged. Harold is now happily married and trying to have a baby with his wife, Maria, while Kumar has put on weight, lost his girlfriend, and is stuck in a rut. At the beginning of the film, Harold is hosting Christmas for Maria's family and is under massive pressure from his father-in-law (Danny Trejo, baby!) to give the family a nice holiday, complete with the perfect Christmas tree.
Kumar still lives in the old apartment that he and Harold once shared, and one day he receives a package addressed to Harold. He delivers the package to Harold's residence in person and Harold invites him in. Harold opens the package and suddenly the two find themselves with a large marijuana joint. Kumar lights it up and Harold, being a non-smoker now, throws the joint out the window and it ends up flying back in through another window setting the tree on fire. With his perfect tree destroyed and Christmas on the way, Harold must find the perfect replacement before it's too late.
Harold and Kumar set out to find a replacement tree and wind up getting caught in a big mess. Like the franchise's predecessors, the protagonists set out on another adventure that involves Ukrainian gangsters, Santa Claus, and the one and only Neil Patrick Harris. Which leaves the question; will Harold and Kumar save Christmas?
