Nickelodeon says Drake and Josh promise to deliver the unique buddy comedy that was a signature of their Nick show, Drake and Josh, in this heart-filled holiday package.

“Merry Christmas Drake and Josh” unites ex-regular Miranda Cosgrove, (iCarly) as the boys mischievous, prank-pulling sister and Jerry Trainor,(i Carly), as movie theatre usher Crazy Steve.

The comic adventure unfolds as a mall Santa and his sack of toys alias Josh and Drake promise an adorable little girl that her foster parents and siblings will have “the best Christmas ever.”

Ex-cellmate Bludge (Kimbo Slice), makes an appearance as an oddball Santa.
