Plot[]
It's Christmas Eve at the Piggy Island, and the Blues are hanging stockings on a tree's branches, putting Santa's hats on the Eggs, and then going to sleep. In the Pig City, some Minion Pigs are nailing a giant stocking to a girder in King Pig's palace, in hopes that Santa will give him eggs.
Back to the Blues, Corporal Pig, disguised as Santa with his Minion Pigs as reindeer, approach the nest. Just as Corporal Pig stuffs the eggs into his sack, the Blues are awakened and ask him for a present, thinking he is Santa Claus. Corporal Pig quickly searches through his sack and gives them a stuffed toy, a toy bear. Joyed, the Blues happily hold the present, just to see the head fall off and roll to a now empty nest, leaving them confused. Panicking, Corporal Pig quickly heads back to his sled while the Blues look at him. Just then, they see his tail, giving away his Santa Claus disguise.
The Blues quickly block his way and beat him up in various ways, one blue bird tries pulling off his fake beard but could not, though ended up slapping it back. The other two bring candy canes and insert them into his nose. Finally, they tie him and his sled together before flinging them away with the slingshot, causing them to travel back to Pig City.
King Pig was still waiting for Santa's arrival, while humming to the song Jingle bells. Suddenly, Corporal Pig's sleigh falls through the roof of King Pig's Palace, and lands in King Pig's oversized stocking. King Pig mistakes Corporal Pig for Santa Claus, and was very pleased to see what seemed to be a giant egg in his stocking, but was really just Corporal Pig's crashed sleigh.
Later, the Blues are very happy to see their stocking filled with presents, as the real Santa flies over the nest, saying his catchphrase.
