I understand everything except the last part. What is she saying exactly? My best guess would be that she's saying that if she doesn't make preparations/plans soon for Christmas she won't be able to have a good time [on Christmas], but I'm sure that's most likely wrong...

Thank you very much in advance.
You went too "textbook" on what is a live and a bit whore-like colloquial convo. 「用意する」here does not mean "to make preparations". It means "to make available for oneself" or "to find (for one's use)". It is talking about getting a BF as if it were a prop.

"Nah. Gotta get me a dude soon or else (this Christmas) won't be a blast."

 


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
