Plot
editOne Christmas, Darby and Buster spend the evening at Winnie the Pooh's house with their friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.
Playing outside, Roo and Lumpy the Heffalump find a red sack, and a reindeer named Holly stuck in a thicket patch. Holly explains that she is one of Santa's reindeer, and she's looking for Santa Claus' magical sack after it fell off of his sleigh during a practice run. Roo and Lumpy have the sack, but Holly doesn't know how to get home.
All of the friends set off towards the North Pole. After some difficulties, including the loss of Tigger's mask, the group considers giving up, but Darby convinces them to persevere and to keep on going. They discover giant snowmen, who come to life and open the path to the North Pole. They return the sack to Santa, and he takes them all out in his sleigh to deliver presents. Santa brings the friends home in time to celebrate Christmas at Pooh's house.
