Beavis and Butt-Head Do Christmas

Plot
Beavis and Butt-Head Do Christmas kicks off with Beavis and Butt-Head getting into their usual antics, critiquing music videos and mocking everything they see. As the holiday season approaches, they're more focused on finding a way to get their hands on a new air conditioner than spreading any holiday cheer. However, their plans take a turn when a freak accident involving a Christmas tree and some electrical wiring sends them to the afterlife. Upon their arrival, they cross paths with the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future, who aim to teach Beavis the true meaning of Christmas. In a twisted take on the classic Charles Dickens tale, the Ghosts appear to Beavis in the forms of a group of teenage girls, who embody the different aspects of his past, present, and future. The Ghost of Christmas Past, who serves as a representation of Beavis's innocent childhood days before he grew up into the dimwitted, music video watching monster he is today, tries to help Beavis understand the value of kindness and generosity. She reenacts various episodes from his childhood, where he displayed these qualities before becoming corrupted by the influence of his father and the negative forces around him. However, this attempt to teach Beavis the value of Christmas ultimately falls flat as he and Butt-Head find themselves more interested in critiquing the music videos from Beavis's childhood days than taking anything away from his encounters with the Ghost. The Ghost of Christmas Present, who manifests as an alluring, attractive woman, attempts to demonstrate the importance of present-day human connections and the value of kindness to those in need, which too falls on deaf ears to Beavis and Butt-Head. Their lack of understanding is evident as they mock her and continue with their destructive ways, leaving a trail of chaos in their wake. The Ghost of Christmas Future, the most ominous and intimidating of the three, is unable to penetrate Beavis's stubborn and ignorant nature. She takes the form of an eerie, unsettling woman and presents Beavis with various potential futures, each of which is worse than the last. The final vision is that of his own grave, an image that could easily have a profound impact on anyone, but for Beavis, the dimwitted duo, they find it an endless supply of entertainment, further reinforcing the notion that these two will never change. Meanwhile, a separate storyline involving Butt-Head unfolds. As he navigates the afterlife, he encounters Charlie, an angel who serves as an embodiment of the idea that life would be better without him. Charlie explains to Butt-Head that his life has been defined by a continuous cycle of ignorance and a failure to grow or learn anything. He shows Butt-Head visions of his own tombstone and his obituary, where it's mentioned that he was a 'legend in his own mind,' further driving home the point that Butt-Head has accomplished nothing with his life. The two storylines conclude when Beavis and Butt-Head wake up from their near-death experience, still utterly unchanged. They shrug off the whole experience, continuing to pursue their own selfish desires while the camera pans out to reveal the true meaning of Christmas being completely lost on them.
