| − | ''At the North Pole, an anchorman recounts the terrible news that Santa Claus has been forced to unsuccessfully make all the presents by himself due to his elves going on strike, despite trying to work out a deal with them, coming to the conclusion that there won't be a Christmas at all this year. Watching this on their television set in Looneyville, Porky Pig and Daffy Duck are distraught; Daffy is especially infuriated at the elves' selfishness and laments that Santa constantly brings them lumps of coal to supply them with warmth for being naughty all year long. Porky worries over Santa's predicament, so Daffy decides that the two of them will be Santa's new elves. Porky is hesitant at first, but the duck easily persuades him into tagging along. Upon their arrival, they discover that the elves are blocking their path, so Daffy uses Porky as a bowling ball to strike their way in, with the pig landing slam dunk onto Santa's belly. Santa is depressed over his elves deserting him. However, Daffy lifts his spirits when he says he and Porky are up for the job of saving Christmas, and he belly smacks them into their elf suits. Ecstatic about their new position, Porky and Daffy set to work on building wooden horses and painting giraffes. Unfortunately, Santa heartily states he's traded it all away in favor of the mass manufacturing of high tech video game systems such as the Q Gam Spot DX before directing the pair to the foreboding factory in which they are made and telling them to get to work or else. When they enter, Porky begins to fear that Christmas is ruined when Daffy discovers a book named ''A Total Nincompoop's Guide to Building a Video Game System'', which he believes will save both Christmas and their hides. They begin with Porky reading and Daffy making. Going all the way from Step 1, which is grab hold of the Central Processing Unit, to Step 1276, which is securely attach the electro chassis with the appropriate sticky stuff, Porky is eventually worn out whilst Daffy is still active in the production. When they are finished, the pig is appalled with Daffy's workmanship as it looks nothing like the intended model. Daffy nonchalantly states that he still needs to add the final blow, of which he means using the machinery to squash the shoddy looking craftsmanship together into the resulting product. After being squashed as well, Daffy marvels at his creation until Porky reveals that it is actually a killer robot that uses Daffy as a mallet to ground the pig who unintentionally walks onto the conveyor belt. The robot makes Daffy into his machine gun and fires duck eggs all over Porky, causing him to fall off the belt along with the duck, as the robot prepares to use rockets. Porky pleads for his life in utter cowardice, so Daffy uses him as a bowling ball once again to strike into the robot and launch its rockets back at it, concluding in an explosion which awakens Santa and creates the perfect game system. Santa is pleased at first with the completed system, but realizes he should make amends with his elves after an explosion causes him to have a brief fit of rage. He succeeds after promising them a twenty percent raise and an increase in their dental hygiene, saving Christmas for all. Still, he remembers to reward Porky and Daffy with their very own high-tech video game system, which turns out to be the killer robot from earlier, and the two of them are chased away from the North Pole and back into Looneyville.'' |

| − | ''Tweety and Granny have just arrived at the Mega Store Mart in New Looney City, which is already packed with customers frantically preparing for Christmas, just in time for the big holiday sale. Meanwhile, in a garbage can just outside the Mart, Sylvester has just set his eyes on the canary, the gift that he wants this year. He slithers up to the entrance of the Mart, but whilst Granny and Tweety slip inside without any issue whatsoever, Sylvester is immediately sucked in after pondering how to enter without drawing any attention and lands in the tools section, after which he is sawed in half with a buzz saw, rendering him half off. At the clothes section, Granny reminds Tweety to look out for good deals, and he discovers one in the sock compartment in which Sylvester is hiding. However, as he is about to devour Tweety, the price of the left socks is reduced by ninety percent, from five dollars to fifty cents, which is such a cheap price that the other customers energetically purchase every last one of them, including Sylvester himself, leaving only his eyeballs and nose. Tweety leaves the sock compartment, thinking that the one remaining sock is too big for him. He discards the sock, leaving it to be snatched up by a female customer along with Sylvester's facial features.'' |

| − | ''When they reach the ornaments aisle, Granny asks Tweety to pick a nutcracker for their mantle as the nutcrackers are also ninety percent off. He picks a big, ugly nutcracker, which is actually Sylvester in crummy disguise, and requests she to try it. Despite liking the design, she tests it with walnuts, pulling his tail, which she mistakes for a lever, and breaking his teeth. In a false bid to aid Granny, Tweety uses a candy cane to break Sylvester's teeth and spill out the nuts, leaving hher to believe that he's broken and place him back in the incorrect shelf before heading in search of a Christmas tree. A battered Sylvester then uses a dust pail and broom to sweep up his teeth and place them back into his mouth. When they find the trees that are seventy percent off, Tweety is unsure of their outward appearance before Granny opens one up to cure his skepticism. Sylvester spots Tweety pretending to be a Christmas star and sings a variation of "The Twelve Days of Christmas": ''"On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a delicious yellow canary!"'' He leaps off the wall to devour the bird, but misses and accidentally eats a Christmas tree which Tweety takes a funky liking to. Granny opens him up as well, but objects to her canary's decision, calling him scraggly. To prove her wrong, Tweety plugs in the "tree", electrocuting Sylvester and lighting him up like a real Christmas tree, causing his now bauble-esque eyes and nose to break from the excess power.'' |

| − | ''At the toy department, Tweety is playing with a remote controlled toy car. Sylvester unsuccessfully tries to catch him from behind a smart television set that is twenty percent off, failing once more when he reaches the forty percent off mark and becoming increasingly savage at the seventy-five percent off mark. When he accidentally makes his hiding place completely free, the customers hurriedly strip him black and blue, at which he makes a dour comment. Sylvester disguises himself as a woman and uses a fishing pole baited with mistletoe to get to Tweety, who is shaking a snow globe. When the mistletoe descends onto Tweety, Sylvester reminds him of the law that they have to kiss. The canary reluctantly agrees, but suddenly Sylvester's mouth is set on fire due to Tweety lighting a menorah. Sylvester captures him and tells him that "O Tannenbaum" is the last ever Christmas carol that he will sing. Tweety interrupts so he can give the cat his Christmas gift, claiming it to be the reason that he went Christmas shopping. Sylvester is suspicious at first, but tearfully accepts due to the fact that no one has ever given him a gift before. He decides to open it against Santa Claus' wishes, but discovers that the gift is a plush mouse loaded with a stick of dynamite that explodes in his face and sends him to the fruitcake section; the customers express their disgust after Tweety marks him fifty cents. Tweety makes a joke about fruitcake at Sylvester's expense.'' |

| − | ''It is Christmas in the Snake Bite Desert, and Road Runner is off on his usual sprint once again. Meanwhile, Wile E. Coyote is spying on him with a telescope in hunger and creates a gift with a tag that says "To Road Runner from Santa Claus", placing it in the middle of the road and wrapping it up with a red ribbon which is attached to two hooks that connect it with a stick which is keeping a large boulder in place that he plans to use in crushing Road Runner to his death. Unfortunately, when Road Runner seemingly goes for the gift, Wile E. doesn't hear the anticipated crush and sees that the gift has been left intact with a red gift standing next to it. He picks up the second gift and after reading the tag which says "Merry Xmas", he merrily opens it, only to find the stick that was holding the boulder in place, leaving himself to be instantly battered by the boulder and split into two. Undeterred, Wile E. buys an ACME Christmas tree, an ACME camera, and an ACME Extra Large Mace which he places onto the tree and sprays with gold paint to pose as a Christmas star as an attempt to lure Road Runner and chop down the tree to finish him off, made even more obvious with a sign which says "Get your photo with the X-mas tree". When Road Runner arrives, he paints a red X to bait him into the trap. However, when Wile E. hacks the tree, it doesn't seem to topple over in Road Runner's direction, giving him no choice but to push it over by force and causing the mace to plummet on his head in agonizing pain. The end result is represented by a photo which says "Merry Christmas!" Not one to give up, Wile E. purchases an ACME Santa's Workshop Kit with a plethora signs and tags to along with it, and hides a whole bunch of explosives wired to a detonator behind it. Road Runner then arrives at the fake workshop and enters immediately. When Wile E. pushes on the detonator, it doesn't seem to work at all and he goes to the workshop to check, only to be run over by the real Santa's sleigh with Road Runner on board for the ride. Fearing that his idea has gone wrong, Wile E. decides to see for himself and is proven right when the TNT explodes in his face. He holds up a sign which says "Bah Humbug!"'' |

| − | ''In the bleak winter season when the forest in laden with snow, Bugs Bunny is enjoying a mug of carrot tea in front of a warm fire deep inside his burrow when two heaps of snow douse his fire and bury him, thus spoiling his festive mood. Bugs then emerges via his homemade elevator to see whatever is the fuss and gets his answer when his head is covered in snow shaped in his likeness and he sees Elmer Fudd shovelling snow from his walkway and singing "I've Been Shoveling the Walkway", so he goes to his house to ask him if he could shovel it somewhere else other than his burrow as it has become extremely cold. Unfortunately, Elmer claims that he is a man does what he pleases whenever he pleases and is unwilling to budge at all and gets even more irritated when Bugs reminds him to love thy neighbor to the point where he bats an entire heap of snow with his shovel at the bunny's chimney and uses a leaf blower to send him packing and trap him in his burrow, much to the latter's anguish. He then heads back home to finish his labor, planning on having raspberry tea and rhubarb pie afterward and unaware that Bugs has modeled the snow similarly to a caber tossed it back at his house, giving him hair similar to that of Donald Trump. Bugs gets to work on rebuilding his chimney, but Elmer's shoveling ruins it all. He goes to his house once more to briefly chat with Elmer about his situation before using a bucket of water to freeze his walkway so that he slips flat on his face. Bugs asks Elmer if he's okay, at which point his face literally breaks like porcelain. To salt the wound, he drops a fridge on Fudd for him to use as an ice pack and returns to his burrow whilst singing Elmer's song sadistically before he is immediately pelted with a snowball by his neighbor. Bugs kindly asks him to ceasefire, but Elmer continues to pelt in a blind fury until Bugs cannot stand it any longer. To save himself, Bugs disguises as Elmer's mother and overbearingly tells him to layer up in the winter climate before suiting him too much coats, scarves, and hats, much to Elmer's surprise. He then gives him a pine tree that poses as a mallet and flings him over to the local funeral bank, turning it into a grave that Elmer cracks open before grabbing a drainpipe to annihilate the rabbit, only to see that his house has already been shoveled by Bugs who is seemingly wishing for their feud to end. He joyfully thanks Bugs for giving in and invites him over to tea before realizing that the snow is actually inside his home, causing both the enormous amount of snow and all of his furniture to come hurling out into the yard until his entire property is covered in a mountain of snow. Bugs nonchalantly gloats at Fudd's misfortune before the latter uses a snowplow to get vengeance on him, sending Bugs fleeing for his own life and dodging Elmer's attempts to crush him to death, eventually coming to a stop at the edge of a narrow cliff. Seeing the infuriated glee on Elmer's face as he wishes for his demise, Bugs just manages to tiptoe underneath the cliff and get behind the snowplow to fool Elmer into thinking he has successfully murdered him before hearing him scream to his plummeting doom in an explosion below. To add the final blow, Bugs paints a picture of a tropical beach onto a pair of glasses to fool Elmer into thinking that it's summertime and dresses up in summer clothes to set the mood. To celebrate, Elmer brings out his summer gear, smears his sunscreen and prepares to relax as he believes that he has finally won the day. His victory turns Pyrrhic however, as the winter season gives him permanent frostbite all over his body and freezes him to death, with Bugs mocking his shortcomings.'' |
