''Christmas ''generated Walt Disney Wonder Studios' first negative response". Richard Lawson of ''Vanity Fair'' called it "derivative of the [[How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000 film)|''How The Grinch Stole Christmas'']], but less innuendos and more funny humor".

Plot
Vanellope von Schweetz is hosting the Disneyville Christmas Party. She, Judy Hopps, Hank, Mr. Ziploc, Lawrence Pierce, Piglet, and Iggy expose Sheriff Woody to Vanellope's party. Santa Claus flies by, but crash-lands in Disneyville, erasing his memory and causing the others to worry that Christmas could be permanently canceled. Vanellope volunteers to save Christmas, calming down her family and the rest of the hysterical Disneyville. Before setting off, Vanellope leaves Woody in charge of her party.
Vanellope builds a snowman and names him "Frosty". Frosty starts to get warmer. To avoid the fate of melting, Frosty joins Vanellope on her quest, in order to reach the North Pole to avoid melting. Vanellope and Frosty witness Santa's reindeer (except Cupid) blaming Rudolph for causing Santa's crashing. Their leader, Donner, puts Rudolph on the naughty list and says they only take orders from Santa. After the reindeer leave, Rudolph joins Vanellope and Frosty. As they prepare to get going, a six-year-old girl named Cindy Miller befriends Vanellope, whos agree to let her join them.
Meanwhile, Piglet sings "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town". As the children put presents under the party's Christmas tree, Santa rediscovers his ability to make toys, letting the children give presents to each other, but inadvertently angering Woody. A wooden airplane wreaks havoc in the kitchen, covering Woody in caramel. Woody declares that all everyone's presents are his from now on, much to the kids' disappointment, and the party is ruined as a result.
After several deliveries, Vanellope and Cindy get into a falling-out over a secret last sack of gifts and whether to deliver it or not. Thinking Cindy is deliberately bailing on her, Vanellope breaks up with Cindy, who walk off into the snowy woods with Rudolph and Frosty. Hours later, Santa convinces Woody to give someone a present, lifting his mood and prompting him to share his realization with Disneyville.
