Great question! You are correct! It actually should be "Won't you come to open your presents?" You may already know this but "come to" is a common phrasal verb. Phrasal verbs are used to indicate actions. Incorrect grammar usage in tv shows and movies is quite common. This is due to the writer's artistic vision. Writers may not care as much about correct grammatical usage. This may be because they may think a certain line fits a character better or fits the feeling of the show better. Thank you so much for your question!
