Once Upon a Time at Christmas

Donald Duck: Stuck on Christmas[edit] The First Segment starts off with Huey, Dewey, and Louie wake up one Christmas morning on December 25 and they run downstairs, they are so excited to open their Christmas presents before Daisy, Uncle Scrooge, and Aunt Gertie arrive. The boys then take their brand new sleds from Donald without reading the attached card and go sledding. After dinner, as Donald, Daisy, Uncle Scrooge, and Aunt Gertie are all starting to sing Christmas carols, the boys want to play with their brand new toys. Having enjoyed the day immensely, the trio doesn't want it to end, so they wish upon a star to have Christmas every day. They find the next morning that their wish has been granted, and at first, they are joyful. After a few days, however, they realize that every Christmas will be exactly the same, tiring them out greatly. The following day, the trio decides to "liven things up" with a series of some tricks and some pranks, including swapping the cooked turkey with a live one at dinner. The turkey runs amok through the house, and chaos ensues as Donald gives chase. The boys, distraught at what they have done, read Donald and Daisy's card that came with the brand new sleds and they all realize that Christmas isn't about presents or decorations; it is about love, caring, and being with family. The boys vow to make the next day the best Christmas possible to make up for their actions. As the boys spread love and cheer by making breakfast for Donald, kissing Aunt Gertie, and helping Daisy with dinner, Donald eventually becomes so suspicious as to why the boys are all acting so nice. That evening, after Donald interferes with his family's Christmas carol-singing, Huey realizes Donald's suspicions, and he, Dewey, and Louie give their uncle a sailboat made out of their sleds as a Christmas gift. Genuinely touched by this gift, Donald hugs his nephews. With the boys having finally realized the true meaning of Christmas, by the time loop ends, it was leading to the day after Christmas. A Very Goofy Christmas[edit] The Second Segment starts off with Goofy and his son Max are making a prepare to mail a letter to Santa Claus at the North Pole. After a series of some shenanigans involving them attempting to catch up with a mail truck that has been driven off, their neighbour Pete tells Max that Santa Claus does not exist, they are both saying that he can't fly around the world in one night. Things begin to get worse when Goofy poses/disguises as Santa Claus for some kids of a family in need, making Max believe that he tricked him upon discovering that this "Santa Claus" is actually just his father. Goofy is determined to prove to Max that Santa Claus does exist, and stays up on the house's roof all night on Christmas Eve to keep an eye out for him and photograph him, while a distraught Max just wants to move on and wishes for Goofy to do the same. After mistaking a Beagle Boy (who was robbing Pete's house) for Santa Claus, Goofy eventually gives up hope of Santa Claus is coming. Max then does everything that Goofy did to try and cheer him up, including posing/disguising as Santa Claus himself, although Goofy soon finds out. The real Santa Claus actually comes and gives Max the snowboard he had asked for earlier (as well as burying Pete in snow as a punishment, rather than giving him any Christmas presents, for his disbelief and cruelly messing with Max's beliefs). When Max asks Goofy if Santa Claus forgot his Christmas present, Goofy answers that every year he always asks for and receives the same gift: Max's happiness. Mickey and Minnie's Gift of the Magi[edit] The Third and Final Segment starts off with Mickey and Pluto wanting to get Minnie a gold chain for her one heirloom, her watch as a Christmas present, so he works at Crazy Pete's Tree Lot. Minnie wants to give Mickey a Christmas present as well, so she works to get a bonus at a department store. When Mickey offers a small tree to a poor family unable to buy a ten-footer tree, his greedy supervisor, Pete, steals Mickey's sack of money and dismisses him. Pete inadvertently puts his lit cigarette into his back pocket with Mickey's money without noticing, which triggers a sequence that ends up setting himself, the money, including the 10-footers that they get caught on fire. Meanwhile, Minnie is called into her supervisor Mortimer Mouse's office to receive her bonus for her hard work – only for her to realize it's actually a fruitcake. After playing the music for a local toy drive with the Firehouse Five, Mickey realizes he can trade his harmonica for the gold chain. Just then, The shop closes just when he gets there, and the collectibles shop owner is uninterested in the harmonica, but he reconsiders after hearing Mickey playing his harmonica within it. Back at Minnie's house, Mickey gives her the chain for her watch, which she reveals that she was sold to buy Mickey a case for his harmonica, which he also no longer has. Fortunately, Mickey and…
