Full plot (contains spoilers)
Tim Templeton discovers his daughter Tina is a Baby Corp agent who needs his help and his brother Ted's presence for a mission. Using a formula to turn back into children for 48 hours, Tim and Ted infiltrate Tabitha's school to investigate Dr. Erwin Armstrong. They discover Armstrong is actually a baby in a robot suit who plans to eliminate all parents on 'B-Day' using a hypnotic app called QT-Snap. During a holiday pageant, the brothers are captured by Armstrong's ninja babies and trapped in a water-filling box. Tabitha agrees to help Tina reach the server to shut down the app. While Tim and Ted hold off the zombie parents, the sisters destroy the servers using a candy lava volcano made of Mentos and soda. Tina reveals her true mission was bringing the brothers back together. The family celebrates Christmas while Armstrong returns to his own family.
