Plot
The film begins with the narrator (Bobs Gannaway) opening a book titled "A Mickey Mouse Christmas Movie". A picture of Mickey's house zooms in and inside, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy are getting ready to sing Christmas carols. Mickey tells everyone they must put on their hats, coats, gloves, sweaters, boots and scarves so they don't get cold. Later, everyone walks from house to house outside. Their final stop was Minnie's House, which they sing "Deck the Halls" to her. Minnie, impressed by their singing, kisses Mickey. Then, she invites everyone in her house for her Christmas party. Minnie sets out milk and cookies on a tray on the table. Everyone each gets one and so does Pluto. Then, they decide to play Christmas music and dance. The songs they played were "Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Jingle Bells". Minnie thanks everyone for coming to their party and she gives everyone a small, gift wrapped boxes.

The narrator turns the next page to the next segment, where Mickey and his friends decide to put on a Christmas play for Walt Disney. So they hired Director Pete to film for them. Mickey and Minnie pretend to be a husband and a wife, Daisy pretends to be the elf, Goofy pretends to be Santa Claus and Donald and Pluto pretend to be the orchastra playing the tuba and guitar with conga drums. Pete says both Donald and Pluto are doing it all wrong and they need to feel the music. He says, "Once more, but with feeling this time, ok?". They both agree. Pete tells everyone that there's 15 more minutes until showtime. Goofy puts perfume in his mouth and Donald gives Pluto a bath while Mickey adjusts his bow tie, wearing 3 gift boxes on his head. Goofy zooms past him shouting, "Makeup!". Later, he zooms past Minnie who is adjusting her bow and says the same thing he shouted to Mickey. Pete was about to say it's showtime, but Goofy zooms past him with perfume smoke, making him, Mickey and Minnie cough. Pete leads Walt Disney to the stage and presents "A Pete Production: Pete's Christmas Play for Walt Disney". He gives him the credits that he directed it, written it, got an original idea from him, and said the music was composed by him too. Donald blew the tuba but knocks over the button of a big fan, causing him in the bathtub to blow away. As the wind blows, Mickey was about to give Minnie a present, but the present flies away. Minnie says thank you and isn't he sweet. Mickey's hat and Minnie's bow both fly away. Mickey tells her on Christmas, they celebrate by ”eating a Donald, opening a Daisy, and feeding a Pluto, not to mention a Goofy." Mickey grabs Pluto before he could fly away. Goofy adds a bomb to end the show, but the bomb then explodes.

Pete sees this and screams, "M-M-MY SHOW!! IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE, GREAT BIG—" right when he was about to say it was a great big failure, Walt Disney interrupts and said it was a great big success and describes it as "the best comedy Christmas theater film he's ever seen". And applauds. Later, Walt Disney gives all of Mickey and his friends presents for them to open since it's Christmas Eve. Everyone laughs.

Finally, the narrator turns the page again to the last segment, where Mickey and Minnie go ice skating. Donald, Goofy and Pluto join him. They happily dance on the ice, and later, they go bake cookies for Santa, buy a Christmas Tree, and so sledding. It is now midnight, and Mickey and friends are already asleep. Santa Claus arrives and eats the cookies, drinks the milk, and leaves presents under the tree. At morning, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto wake up and open their presents. The book closes, and the back reads, "The End".
