== Plot ==
In the Bikini Bottom Christmas, a land of Conch Street inhabited by various citizens, childish, happy and clumsy sea sponge SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) helps his naive and overweight pink starfish named Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke), run their christmas mailbox and dreams of fighting alongside the very cynical, selfish and sassy octopus Squidward (Rodger Bumpass), the obsessed and greedy red crab Mr. Krabs (Clancy Brown), sea snail Gary (Tom Kenny), the tiny deep green planktonic Plankton (Doug Lawrence), the square tube sea sponges Harold (Tom Kenny) and Margaret (Sirena Irwin), a group of SpongeBob and Patrick's masters who live in the Conch Street, where they are trained by Antonio (Miguel Angel Silvestre), a cruel chicken that hates dragons. One day, the playful chicken Jeff (Anthony Anderson) predicts that Antonio's stupid cock, Josh (Antonio Banderas), will escape from prison and attack the valley to obtain the Christmas Shopping, a great mall they had previously been denied. Panicked, Antonio sends a brown ram named Jennifer (Jeff Foxworthy) to increase the security at Christmas Shopping, where Josh is held.
At the same time, Antonio holds a tournament for the gang so that Jeff can identify the Mall, the sea citizen hero of reading the Scroll, which is said to grant limitless power to its reader. SpongeBob arrives too late to enter the arena; desperate to see his idols, he accidentally launches himself into the middle of the tournament off a chair propelled by fireworks, Jeff proclaims SpongeBob the Fighter. Believing Jeff's decision to be an accident, a shocked Antonio tries to dispose of SpongeBob with a harsh training regimen, while the gang dismiss SpongeBob as an enthusiast with no potential in christmas mall. SpongeBob considers quitting, but after receiving encouragement from Jeff, he endures his training and gradually befriends the gang with his resilience, culinary skill, and good humor.
During this time, SpongeBob learns that Antonio's cold and distant behavior stems from his own shame over Josh's betrayal, having raised him from infancy. At christmas mall, Jennifer's warnings are ignored, and Josh escapes. Antonio informs Jeff of the event, with the chicken making Antonio promise to belive in SpongeBob as the christmas shopping, before passing away into the Spirit Realm in a stream of peach blossoms. Antonio then informs SpongeBob and the gang of Josh's escape, and tells SpongeBob he is the only one who can stop him. Feeling cheated, Squidward angrily attempts to explain to Antonio that he has been training the gang for many years to prepare for Josh's escape, but Antonio tells him it is SpongeBob's destiny to stop Josh.
