Much like Elton John has suggested, this special
could involve Timon and Pumbaa (more likely Timon) embellishing certain facts. I think the episode will be in continuity, why else call it The Lion Guard: Timon and Pumbaa's Christmas. Instead of just Timon and Pumbaa's Christmas (it would still allow them to have the characters from The Lion Guard be in it). Essentially Timon and Pumbaa will get to give an episode of The Lion Guard the Lion King 1 1/2 treatment. In retaliation for The Lion Guard using the type of premise that The Lion King 1 1/2 should have used.
I agree with Panpardus that they won't do a straight up Christmas episode, just introduce some type of gift giving concept.
Now in the spirit of Elton John's plot predictions. I have some of my own.
#1. Kion will invite Fuli on an
actual hunt with The Royal Family, followed by a zebra dinner.
#2. This episode will mark the last appearance of Thurston.
#4. Ono will fly above Kion and Fuli at just the right moment with some mistletoe.
#5. As a present to Kiara, Kion will have the rest of The Guard sneak Kovu into The Pride Lands for a visit.
#6. Ono will fly above Kovu And Kiara at just the right moment with some mistletoe.
#7. Vitani will sneak into The Pride Lands to find Kovu.
#8. Kion will negotiate a deal with Vitani so that she does not inform Zira about Kovu sneaking into The Pride Lands to see Kiara.
#9. Vitani will agree to keep her silence in exchange for Kion kissing her.
#10. Kion will kiss Vitani. (This will be a present for me
)
#11. As a present to Kion, Fuli will not kill him for kissing Vitani.
#12. At the end of the episode it will be revealed to have been a story told in a flashback by Timon and Pumbaa. We will then see The Guard as Adults.
