Josh decides that he needs a great adventure in his life and Drake promotes him as his band's new manager after he fired his old one for canceling three gigs in a month and having Drake perform at an old folk's home. Audrey and Walter leave to go on a 10-day cruise vacation, and Megan has made plans to go to Denver, Colorado to visit her friend Jessica. Drake and Josh mistakenly send Megan on Flight 647 to Los Angeles when she was supposed to board Flight 746 and follow her on another plane to bring her home. On the plane, Josh's G-O gets switched with someone else's. The G-O that Josh has turns out to be an electrical key for a US Treasury currency production machine, which was stolen 3 days earlier. Josh gets the attention of a producer from LA who gets Drake to perform on TV at Sunset Studios. The owners of the G-O kidnap Drake and Josh and Megan finds the kidnapper's wallet. She then goes to the place where Drake and Josh have been taken hostage and calls the police on the kidnappers. The police come and explained that the leader, Milo McRarie, is on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List. Megan then leaves to catch her flight to Denver. Drake and Josh then drive to Sunset Studios so Drake can perform his song Hollywood Girl. The producer pull some strings to get Drake an audition for Spin City Records. Two girls then go to Drake to compliment him and ask if they can hang out with him and Josh which they approved.
Drake throws a Christmas party on the roof of the Premiere, but when a group of teens trash the place, Josh is mistaken for one of the teens and gets arrested. At night, Drake breaks into prison attempting to free Josh, after he promises to provide a little girl named Mary Alice and her foster family the 'Best Christmas Ever'. 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.
