Josh is thrilled about having a new stepbrother, but Drake is not. Drake is even less excited when he finds out that Josh is Miss Nancy, the anonymous advice columnist for the school newspaper, and that Josh believes he must dress like a woman to adequately write his advice. Drake then uses this to get a date with Tiffany Margolis (Julie Gonzalo), who wrote to Miss Nancy. But Josh gets in trouble when her angered boyfriend Buck (Joey Mendicino) thinks she is on a date with Josh instead and challenges him to a fight.

Drake attempts to conceal his bruises and the damages to the dune buggy, but Josh eventually finds out when he gets a call from the emergency room and confronts Drake about it, angry that all Drake cares about is keeping the accident and his injuries a secret from their parents. Racked with guilt, Drake confesses to Walter and Audrey, and they ground Drake for two weeks, much to Josh's delight.

Drake wants to attend a concert with his friends, but Grammy forbids him from going and his friends also cannot go, because the tickets are sold out. However, they make a deal in which Drake can spend time with his friends if he beats Grammy in a basketball game, as long as he does not attend the concert. Drake wins the game, but is forced to break his promise out of peer-pressure when his friends are able to get tickets for the concert. Once there, they find out the tickets they have are actually counterfeit, and are detained at the venue until Grammy pays a $200 fine to release them. Grammy then reveals that she let Drake win so he could go with his friends. Drake does not believe her and decides to play again, under the condition that if he wins, no one tells his parents about the concert. Grammy agrees on the condition that if he loses, he will tell his parents about the concert. Drake loses the game, but when his parents come home, Grammy stops him from telling his parents, seeing as he paid back the $200 and was willing to tell them, and that was a good enough punishment for her (Grammy instead tells Drake's parents that she beat Drake at basketball). Drake finally accepts Grammy and they hug each other goodbye, with Grammy secretly sticking an envelope onto Drake's back paying him back the $200 he gave her.

But Drake's plan failed and both were arrested and were intended to spend life in prison for multiple crimes. However, things are changed when Drake hires Josh's boss, Helen, to represent them in their case stating that she has never lost an argument, in which the judge agrees to give Drake and Josh a chance to save themselves from prison if they can stick to their promise to give the foster-family their 'Best Christmas Ever'. Meanwhile, Drake and Josh's parole officer, Perry Gilbert, does what he can to prevent Drake and Josh from keeping their promise, including tricking "Crazy" Steve into telling the foster-family about everything, causing them to feel betrayed, and so they turn to Gilbert's mother, who provides them with enough information to stop his evil ways. In the end, they all have a happy Christmas holiday after "Crazy" Steve makes snow by shredding cheese in a woodchipper and Drake and Josh do a nice thing for Gilbert that changes his Christmas spirit. The TV film was made apart from the regular series, closing all the story lines for the series.
