Unseen by humans, mischievous goblins have been manipulating reality to cause these accidents, feeding on the "bad luck" and coincidences they generate. When Ruby’s mother takes in a new foster baby named Lulubelle, the goblins strike, kidnapping the infant and carrying her into the sky toward a massive, wooden flying sailing ship.
The special then unfolds over one night, switching between two timelines. In the present, Grubnak and Tilly form an unlikely alliance, avoiding search parties and battling a supernatural winter storm. In flashback, we see Grubnak’s last Christmas with his own kind, 300 years ago—a chaotic, beautiful, ugly celebration involving fermented mushroom wine, explosive ornaments, and a tradition called “The Giving of the Unwanted.” the last goblin latest xmas special by marble new

The special opens with a montage of industrial melancholy: the Goblin’s workshop is dust-choked, his bag of “rotten egg aroma spells” has expired, and his only remaining tool is a rusty whoopee cushion. The advent of digital surveillance (Ring cameras, Alexa) and “optimized holiday logistics” (Amazon drones delivering gifts with 100% accuracy) has rendered his chaos obsolete.

Despite his history of being hunted, his curiosity gets the better of him. Unlike the "coincidence goblins" of Doctor Who who prey on babies, this goblin is a tragic outcast seeking connection.
But more notably, the special has inspired real-world acts of kindness. The hashtag #GiveTheBroken started trending after fans posted photos of repaired objects—a chipped mug, a torn book, a bicycle with a bent wheel—gifted to loved ones.
