Instead of telling a Disney story, Deadpool tells a Christmas story. We saw him retell “A Christmas Carol” with characters named “Loganeezer Scrooge” and “Wade Marleypool” instead of Ebenezer Scrooge and Jacob Marley. Deadpool used a top hat prop during the story.

For the holiday special, Disney cut some of the raunchier jokes, keeping the show more PG. But they added many jokes about the holiday special being shoehorned.

There was even a joke about how Story Time with Deadpool was supposed to be a limited-time summer show, “but it made a lot of money so Disney+ told us to keep it around through Christmas.” The set does now have a note reading “Presented to you by Disney+,” following the addition of “Deadpool & Wolverine” to the streaming platform.
