Description[]
The Pigs have stolen the Birds’ Christmas gifts! Now it is up to Red and Bomb Bird to lead the rescue mission to get them back!
Synopsis[]
The Short begins with the pigs sledding down a mountain after stealing the birds' Christmas Presents. When the The Blues were looking that their presents were stolen, they became upset and sad. The upset Mountain Bluebirds then began to whimper and sniffle, looking like they're about to cry, except for Jay, who's already bawling. Much to Red's unhappy surprise, this enrages and annoys Bomb so much that he explodes. The pigs stop the sleigh when they hear the explosion far away on a hill. They then continue moving happily as they thought that it was nothing important.
Red and Bomb then ski down the hill chasing the pigs. Bomb knocks into many obstacles, including a snow mound that sends him flying through the air and landing right behind the pig's sleigh. He manages to knock the sack of presents off of the sleigh, but there is still one present left. Seeing this, Bomb tries to pull it off by the ribbon.
The sleigh approaches the pigs' ice fortress located on the edge of a large cliff. The Corporal Pigs open the door to let the pigs in, but then, they as well as the pigs on the sleigh see Bomb holding on. Bomb's fuse ignites and the pig's sleigh enters the fortress with him still hanging on to the last present, and Red arrives just in time to see Bomb blow up the fortress.
Bomb then appears out of the smoke with the present and The Blues arrive with the sack of presents. The Blues, Red, and Bomb became very happy and started to have happy laughter together. Then all of a sudden, the cliff holding the Pigs' fortress collapses. Out of The Christmas Spirit and encouraged by Red, Bomb drops the present he had been hanging onto down the cliff for the Pigs, and when the present fell on a ribbon, 3 stars were presented. At the end of the short (YouTube only), the Angry Birds Peace Song was sung.

Trivia[]
- This is the first Angry Birds cartoon to air on TV.
- Like the Ham'o'ween Short Movie, this episode shows the title at the beginning rather than the end.
- A full song was made for the credits, titled the "Angry Birds Peace Song". In the DVD version, it was replaced with the original version of the song.
- Usually, Bomb is weak on ice/glass and can only explode a little of it, But in this short Bomb exploded the whole ice/glass fortress.
- His appearance also resembles his appearance from the Summer Pignic Short Movie and his unused design from the original game’s scrapped “Free to Play” update.
- This cartoon has also been released on the first season and volume of Angry Birds Toons on DVD, making it the first cinematic special to be released on an Angry Birds DVD. Although the credits are cut out at the end, as well as the storyboard, and the original song is heard instead of the peace song.
- This is technically the pilot episode of Angry Birds Toons, due to having a similar art style, although the designs of the Pigs are somewhat different from the series, and Bomb's design resembles the one used in the "Summer Pignic" short.
- Every bird in this short movie also makes an appearance in the Angry Birds Toons episode, "El Porkador!" only exception being Terence, as he never appeared in this short movie.
