 * All: Steal Christmas.
 * Mortimer: Great! Let's find an reindeer to help us!
 * Goofy: I know a place where to find a reindeer!

 * Max: Oh yeah!
 * Mindy: No! We're not going to make the kids sad! I need to talk to him!

 * At Mortimer's house
 * Goofy: Boy, that was not easy.

 * Lincoln: Mindy, are you in bed?
 * Mindy: Yep, I'm in bed, dad! What do you wanna tell me?
 * Lincoln: I just gotta say, Christmas Eve is tomorrow. Once Christmas Day comed, we'll have the bestest time any of us will have the history of Whoville.
 * Lincoln: Well, goodnight Mindy!
 * Mindy: Good night dad!
 * The next day
 * Narrator: Today was Christmas Eve. Kids, teens, and adults all around the world were getting prepared for Santa Clause to come and give them presents.
 * Mortimer: (sigh) Oh boy, I'm starvin'! So, what's for breakfast, Mack?
 * He opens the plate
 * Mortimer: Mack…what is this, depressing bean?!
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Mortimer: (while looking in cabinets of different sizes) No, no, this can't be real! We cannot be out of food!…can we?
 * It then shows a montage of Mortimer wasting food when he doesn't want no more
 * Mack: Woof?
 * Mortimer: Yeah, you're kinda right. It is my fault. But I can't go to Whoville during Christmas!
 * Mack: Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof (translation: Well, it's your choice if you wanna starve.)
 * Mortimer: Ugh, fine. I'll go to Whoville. Now come with me.
 * He and Mack enter the store
 * Food Stocker: Merry Chris-
 * Mortimer: Do  NOT  think about saying that last part.
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Food Stocker: O-okay…
 * Mortimer: Okay, let's see here, we have lemonade, juice, lunchboxes for school lunch, bags, where the heck is the food section?!
 * Mack: Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof (translation: I see some food over there!)
 * Mortimer heads to the food section
 * Mortimer: Yes, food!
 * Mortimer: We have beans, jello, berries, strawberry juice, cookies, spaghetti, OH CHEESE, and milk. I'm buying all of 'em.
 * He dumps the food in his shopping bucket
 * Mortimer: Okay lady, so how much will this cost?
 * Cashier: Uh, $199.999.999.999.
 * He disappears
 * Cashier: Wait, where'd he go?
 * Both Mortimer and Mack walk into Mortimer's house
 * Mortimer: Okay, now that we got food, we can commence our plan into stealing Chris-OH MY GOD!
 * Donald: Uh, suprise?
 * Goofy: Ooh! Is it my birthday??
 * Minnie: No Goofy, it is not your birthday.
 * Mortimer: How did you get in here?! I locked my door!
 * Mickey: Says you. You forgot to lock your door.
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Mortimer: I REALLY need to stop forgetting how to lock my door.
 * Mickey: And also, while you and your dog were out, we named your new reindeer, Freddy!
 * Freddy: Honk.
 * Mortimer: Uh, he only says "honk."
 * Minnie: Exactly what your dogs say all the time! Except that he doesn't say the word, honk.
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Freddy: Honk.
 * Mack: WOOF!
 * Freddy: HONK!
 * Mortimer: Okay, enough comparing Woofs and Honks! Let's go down to my basement so we can commence our plan of stealing..Christmas!
 * In Mortimer's basement
 * Goofy: Okay Mortimer, you called, we came! What's the emergency?
 * Minnie: We didn't came here. We were already in here.
 * Mortimer: Enough talking! My plan to steal Christmas is to become……………….. SAAAAAAAAAAANTA CLAUSE!!!
 * Goofy: WHOOOOO! WHOOOOO! whooo…
 * Mickey: Mortimer, no offense, but how is this supposed to work?
 * Mortimer electrocutes Mickey
 * Mickey: HEY!
 * Mortimer: You see, cheese lover, I can become Santa Clause-
 * Freddy: Honk.
 * Mortimer: by you helping me design a shirt and pants of becoming Santa!
 * Donald: Uhh..
 * Mortimer: And if Santa can give the kids joy and happiness, let's see if he can take them away!
 * Minnie: So…
 * Mortimer: Let's get…STARTED!
 * Meanwhile
 * Mindy: Phew. After several hours of working on this, my trap for Santa is finally done!
 * Lucas the Robot: So, your saying that you want me to pull this cookie and then I'll just get upside down like a test?
 * Mindy: Uh, yes?
 * Luke: Where are your parents anyway?
 * Mindy: My dad is at work while my mom is sleeping.
 * Luke: Alright, I'll just…boop. (touches the button)
 * Luke's robot organs get sucked out and lands on a tree with a squirrel on it
 * Mindy: Uh, Luke?..
 * Luke: (with his organs out) Could I get to e-e-e-e-e-e-eat the cookie now, or what?
 * A montage then shows in the style of Your a Mean One, Mr. Grinch for a minute
 * Mickey: After 9 minutes of designing, we’re done.
 * Mortimer: Great! And now we'll do our test!
 * Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy: Okay then!
 * Mortimer: No, no. I'm only taking Mack and Freddy with me.
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Freddy: Honk.
 * Goofy: Awh…
 * Outside Mortimer's house
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Mortimer: Alright, I just gotta attach this on Freddy’s back and-
 * Mortimer attaches the thing on Freddy's back, but it hurts Freddy, causing him to scream and run down the mountain fast
 * Mack: WOOOOOOOOOOOFFFFFFF!!!!!!
 * Freddy: reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
 * Mortimer: Yeah Freddy, that's what I see from ya!
 * Freddy suddenly stops
 * Mortimer: Hey, why'd you stop?
 * Mack: Woof!
 * It then shows Freddy's kid, in which his mother told him to go look for after not returning home
 * Mortimer: Oh, hello little reindeer. Sorry, but we don't need any more reinde-
 * Freddy runs up to his son and cuddles him
 * Mortimer: Oh so…that-that's your…s-son?
 * Freddy: Honk.
 * Mortimer: Okay, you can go with him if you want,
 * Freddy then goes with his son before licking Mortimer's face and going back with his son
 * Mack: Woof?
 * Mortimer: I'm..going to miss him.
 * Mack and Mortimer go in the house
 * Minnie: So, how did it go?
 * Donald: Wait, where's Freddy?
 * Mortimer: He had to go back to his family.
 * Mickey: Wait, he had a family? Then why did he act like a stray dog in the beginning?
 * Goofy: I dunno.
 * Mortimer: Now if you excuse me, down in the basement, me and Mack need to go have a talk…
 * Goofy: (burp) Ooh, excuse me!
 * In the basement
 * Mortimer: Mack, you know what you are? You are a brave, sturdy, little fella!
 * Mack: Ye!
 * Mortimer: I loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. And Mack, I, am officially announcing you, as my reindeer!
 * Mack: (gasp)
 * Mortimer: Will you…accept my, offer? I'm not forcing you, I'm just saying…will you?
 * Mack: (Mack barks as in a Yes)
 * Mortimer: Great Mack! I knew I can count on ya!
 * Minnie: Aw…so romantic!
 * Goofy: (laughs) I know, right?
 * Donald: This is private prop-
 * Mortimer: Hey! What are you doing here?!?!
 * Mickey: Sorry. We were just curious to see what you and Mack were talking about, that's all.
 * Mortimer: I said a  PRIVATE  talk, not public.
 * Donald: Well, you said that you and Mack needed to have a talk, not a private talk.
 * Mortimer: BUT-you know what? Never mind. Right now, it's 9:37pm. We will begin our heist at 2:00am.
 * Meanwhile
 * Whos: Oh boy. Go to sleep kids! Christmas WHOOOO! Gwarsh guys! Santa Clause is comin' to town!
 * Narrator: As Whos young and old were excited. Because in a few hours, Santa Clause would come to town and give them their gifts they wanted for their whole lives. Santa would bring joy and happiness to the town. Or would he?
 * In Mindy's house
 * Mindy: Okay, I just need to wait for my parents to fall asleep.
 * Lincoln: Mindy, are you in bed?
 * Mindy: Rodger that, dad. I'm in bed.
 * Lincoln: Good. Because Christmas is tomorrow, and as a sweet kind, lovely little girl you are, you deserve  ANYTHING  you want in the whole entire world.
 * Mindy: Thanks dad.
 * Lola: Lincoln, where are you? You can't get gifts if you stay up late!
 * Lincoln: Oh, (whispers) Goodnight Mindy, coming honey!
 * He turns off the lights before closing Mindy's bedroom door
 * Mindy: Now I can commence my plan. Trap Santa Clause!
 * She exits her bedroom and goes down the stairs and finds a door with a toolbox in it. While there's an 23-second montage of her building up her trap for Santa
 * Meanwhile
 * Mickey: Not gonna lie Mortimer, this is kinda a nice sleigh you've got here.
 * Mortimer: Thank you, squeaker.
 * Mack: Woof, woof!
 * Donald: Just a quick question. Are you sure Mack is going to do this, cuz, I don't think he can. He's just a small dog.
 * Mortimer electrocutes Donald
 * Mortimer: A small dog? A SMALL DOG?! If he is a small dog, let's see if he can do this.
 * Mortimer: Here we go, Mack. Let's see what you got!
 * Mack tries to run, but gets underground
 * Minnie: Mortimer, what happened to Mack?!
 * Goofy: Gwarsh, I dunno. Probably went underground to find a bone.
 * Mickey: Oh barbalots, I hope he's okay.
 * Mortimer: Mack? Mack, are you okay?
 * Mack gets up from the underground and then goes down the mountain and all the way to Whoville
 * Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
 * Mortimer:  YEES!!! GO MACK! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! 
 * Narrator: As Mack went fast down the hills, Christmas would begone, all because of one man and his sidekicks.
 * Mortimer and the others arrive at the first house of Whovills
 * Minnie: Oh boy.
 * Mortimer: Alright, we're here. The first house.
 * Goofy: Is it okay if I need to pee?
 * Donald: Is it okay if Goofy should've went to the bathroom  EARLIER?! 
 * Minnie: Why are we all fighting?! It's so strange!!!
 * Mickey: Calm down Minnie.
 * Mack: Woof!
 * Mortimer: OKAY QUIET! Remember our training.
 * Donald: We never had any training.
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Mortimer: As I go in the house and steal the gifts and suck them out of the Whos' chimney, all of you except for Mack need to act fast and catch the gifts and put them in the sleigh. (sighs three times) And then after we finish stealing the gifts, we go ALL the way ontop of Mount Everest and dump them all down the drain.
 * All: (except Mack) Got it.
 * Mortimer enters the first house through the chimney and sucks up the presents
 * He then sucks them out of the house, along with the Who food and goods.
 * Mickey, Donald, and Goofy, told to act fast, catch the presents and put them on the sleigh
 * Mortimer: Oh look. A Christmas cookie…nah, I don't need that.
 * Narrator: From the second house to the third house to the fourth house to all of the million houses in Whoville, the stealing would go on and on and on and on.
 * Mortimer: (while in the second house stealing presents) Heh, yeah.
 * Narrator: Wait, did he just hear me?!
 * Meanwhile, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy are chatting while carrying presents and putting them in the sleigh
 * Mickey: Gee. I hope we'll be done soon with this stealing presents thing.
 * Donald: Yeah. These presents are starting to get (groans) heavy!
 * Minnie: My…arms…can't do…this…anymore.
 * Mickey: Don't worry guys. We'll get done with this thing, uh…probably soon.
 * Goofy: Gwarsh, thanks for having so much courage, Mick!
 * Mickey: You're welcome, Goofy?
 * Goofy and Mickey: AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
 * They both become crushed by a giant gift bag
 * Mortimer: I told you bozos to put the gifts in the sleigh, not get crushed by the gifts!
 * Mack: Woof.
 * Mortimer: Whatever, let's just go to the next house.
 * Narrator: As Mortimer would steal presents, here are these he stole: bicycles, PS33s, video games, electronics, decorations, teddy bears, dolls with strange names, pictures, socks, sandeals, pillows, and many more that I cannot name!
 * As Mortimer would continue stealing presents, the Who counter go down to one more house left, which is Mindy' house.
 * Mortimer: Alright fellas. We’re here. The final house. You stay here, while I get the gifts.
 * As Mortimer is about to go down the chimney, he steals the decorations before going down the chimney, with Mindy sleeping
 * Mortimer: And when I steal these gifts, there is currently one more house to go, and Christmas will begone!
 * Donald: Not a nice joke.
 * He finishes stealing the Christmas tree of the house, including the gifts too
 * Mortimer then spots a cookie
 * Mortimer: (stomach rumbles) Oh, what the heck? I am starving for some reason.
 * He touches the cookie and bright lights come on. An elf plushie falls on the ground, and Mindy wakes up, to find out that Santa (Mortimer) is here
 * As Mortimer is trying to get away, he hangs upside down while Mindy spots him upstairs
 * Mindy: Santa…
 * She runs down the stairs
 * Mortimer: Oh, hello! A little bit of help please?
 * Mindy: I'll let you down Santa, just give me a minute!
 * Mortimer: (sarcastically) That would be great…
 * Mindy pulls one of the coordinates that pulls Mortimer down
 * Mortimer: Ow.
 * Mindy: (sits him down on the couch) I'm so sorry for the trap.
 * Mortimer: I-it's okay…
 * Mindy: Wow. I can't believe the ACTUAL Santa Clause is in my house. People said that you were fake and just a myth, but me and the townsfolk here, we all knew you were real.
 * Mindy: And again, I'm so sorry for the trap. I bought you a bottle of milk to make it up.
 * Mortimer: Thanks.
 * Mindy: Anyways, I need you to- (she hears one of the Christmas tree decoration falling down) Hey, why are you taking our Christmas tree?
 * This causes Mortimer to spit out the milk Mindy gave him
 * Mortimer: Well, while I was delivering presents, I saw that some of the lights on you're Christmas tree wasn’t working. So I decided that me and my elves can fix it back at the workshop!
 * Mindy: Well, thank you!
 * Mortimer: Now, now how about you go back to bed, and then I'll return you're tree in the morning!
 * Mindy: Wait, wait, you don't understand! I don't want gifts and I need you to do something for me!
 * Mortimer: Of course you do! Everybody wants presents!
 * Mindy: No! For real, I don't! I want you to spend time with us!
 * Mortimer: Wait, what?
 * Mindy: Yeah. You are Santa Clause. You bring joy to the people of this planet, including the people of this town. And me and my mother and father. I just wish you can spend time with us. I wish you can also see when we sing holding hands infront of the Christmas tree!
 * Mortimer: W-woah.
 * Mindy: And once you sing holding hands…it feels like all of your problems go away in just a second. Because it does, and your heart gets warmer and warmer because of the joy and happiness you are feeling for Christmas.
 * Mortimer: (shedding a tear) Yeah, it is nice.
 * Mindy: Santa, are you…okay?
 * Mortimer: What, yes! Of course I'm okay.
 * Mortimer: Now how about you go to bed? Once you wake up, your Christmas tree will be back in your house by the time you wake up!
 * Mindy: (she hugs Mortimer, while Mortimer hugs her back) Thank you so much! (she runs up the stairs back to her bedroom)
 * He then comes back up the chimney
 * Donald: Mortimer! There you are!
 * Mickey: Yeah! What took you so long, anyway?
 * Goofy: I agree with both of 'em.
 * Mortimer: Guys…I think I just met the most  strangest  little Who girl in history.
 * Minnie: I'm a gir-
 * Before she could finish her sentence, Mortimer helps Mack push the sleigh all the way to Mount Everest to dump the presents
 * Narrator: After hearing what Mindy said, Mortimer couldn't get it out of his head. He was thinking: "Should I be doing this, or not?"
 * The sun then arrives
 * Mindy: (yawns) Oh boy, oh boy oh boy! (runs out of her room)
 * She looks down the stairs, only to see nothing but a broken decoration. The Christmas tree or the gifts weren't there
 * Lola: (yawns) (gasps) Oh no!
 * Lincoln: What the hay happened here?
 * The camera zooms into other Whos as they got their presents stolen from Mortimer. With Mindy walking down to see the Christmas tree gone too, she knows WHO stole all the gifts
 * Griffin: Where are all the decorations?!
 * Max: We've been robbed…
 * Mindy: Mom, I know who took the gifts.
 * Lola: What?
 * Mindy: It's my fault. I trapped Santa so he could spend time with us to show us the spirit of Christmas.
 * Lola: Oh, no no no! It's not your fault! Santa didn't steal our gifts. He just stole, stuff. Christmas is inside here, in our hearts. And the best thing I could ever get…is you.
 * Lola then happily hugs Mindy
 * Meanwhile, Mortimer, Mickey, and Donald along with Mack push the sleigh up Mount Everest while Minnie and Goofy are relaxing because they are tired
 * Narrator: Up on Mount Everest, Mortimer was 98% close to getting Christmas gone, and having all of the Whos be sad for Christmas.
 * Mortimer: Just one more shove…
 * Before trying to push the sleigh down the mountain, Mortimer hears the Whos singing "Dah-who-Dores" even though he stole their christmas
 * Donald: Not gonna lie, the song is kinda catchy.
 * Minnie: Yeah.
 * Mortimer: Don't say that! (looks through telescope) Why are they singing?! I stole their entire Christmas! Don't they know what I've done?
 * He looks at the telescope again at the Whos, only to see Mindy. Because of her, his heart turns 5 sizes bigger and bigger and bigger, making him become nice
 * Mickey: Uh, Mortimer?
 * Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy go off the sleigh while it almost falls, but it falls
 * Mortimer: Oh no! Oh no!
 * As the sleigh falls, Mortimer grabs it with his hand and uses a grappling hook to hold on to the snow, but it goes off, leaving Mortimer and the sleigh to fall
 * Mack: WOOOOOFFF!!!!!
 * Suddenly, Freddy and his family shows up and pulls the sleigh back up. Knowing that they can't do it alone, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy help them
 * Mortimer: Freddy? You-you came back. The gifts! We have to return them! Freddy, will you and your family be my reindeer for the sleigh?
 * Freddy: Honk, honk, honk, honk! (translation: Of course, I will!)
 * Meanwhile, while the Whos are singing still, the sleigh comes and Mortimer apologizes
 * Mortimer: Uh..hello everybody! Uh…
 * He comes down
 * Mickey: (whispers) It's okay!
 * Mortimer: (takes off hat) It was me. I stole your Christmas…
 * Many Whos whisper while Mindy is shocked by this
 * Mortimer: I stole it because I thought it would fix something that happened a long time ago…but it didn't! And I'm sorry. (walks up to Mindy) I'm so very extra sorry. For everything…
 * While Mortimer walks home with Mack, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy walk home too. Freddy also runs back home with his family
 * At Mortimer's home
 * Mack: Woof!
 * Mortimer: Not now, Mack. I need to be alone.
 * Mack: Woo?…
 * 3 hours later, Mack is laying on his bed while he hears a bell from Mortimer's bedroom. He prepares lunch for Mortimer and while going in the elevator, he sees a bone plush
 * Mack: Woo?
 * Mortimer: I thought you might lik-oh wait, you don't like it! No, no, it's okay! I can take it back!

Fun facts

 * Cameron Seely, who voiced Cindy Lou-Who in the 2018 Illumination-produced film voiced Mindy because the casting director Clay Morrow couldn't find any child actress to play the role as Mindy.
 * Animation for the episode/christmas special took around five months to finish, as confirmed by Paul Rudish and Bret Iwan in an interview in 2023.
 * In the episode, on Mindy's shelf when her father is saying good night to her, Winnie the Pooh can be seen on her shelf as one of her toys along with Cinderella and Pinocchio.
 * A toy that includes Mortimer stealing is an DVD pack for all films including Tarzan in it.
