The Berenstain Bears’ Christmas Tree

The Bear Family goes on a picnic, enjoying a peaceful fall day together. The scene is shown as the clock rewinds to a time when Sister hadn't been born yet, making Brother the only cub on the block. The moment establishes the close family dynamic before the timeline shifts.

During fall, Brother spends time away from his friends by the bog, peppering Papa with questions about life. Papa doesn't always have the answers, but he answers with patience and a willingness to play along. The exchange highlights Brother's curiosity and Papa's hopeful, if imperfect, guidance.

Winter drags on with no clear end, and both Mama and Papa grow anxious for spring. They have an Easter surprise planned, but the details remain hidden, weighing on the family. Brother notices that he can’t sit on Mama's lap anymore, signaling a change in everyday closeness.

The family learns that Boss Bunny, Bear Country's Easter Bunny, has quit, leaving spring expectations in doubt. Papa shares Brother's disappointment and joins the community in feeling the seasonal void. The town braces for a disrupted Easter and a delayed sense of renewal.

Rather than wait, Papa decides to take on the Easter role himself and starts his own candy and egg factory. He throws himself into the task with determination to keep Easter alive for the cubs. The venture is hopeful but risky, hinting at trouble ahead.

Papa's DIY Easter venture quickly spirals into disaster as machines falter and expectations crumble. The family watches the failure threaten to erase the season's magic. The episode underscores the danger of forcing tradition without the community's shared effort.

Feeling the need to restore spring, Brother decides to search for Boss Bunny. He teams up with his friend Bill Bunny, who turns out to be Boss Bunny's son. They venture toward a hidden place no bear has visited before.

Bill Bunny leads Brother to a hidden spot and they enter the abandoned Easter Factory. There, they find Boss Bunny asleep, exhausted from years of duty. The moment marks a turning point as the hope to revive Easter returns.

Boss Bunny explains that the workload and responsibility of changing the seasons is too much in his old age. He won't continue without relief, displaying burnout and reluctance to take on the burden alone. Brother's plea faces a stubborn obstacle.

A Great Spring Rainbow appears, reviving Boss Bunny and restoring his energy. With renewed vigor, the Easter Factory comes back to life, bringing back the promise of Easter for Bear Country. The magical rainbow ties the community to a renewal of life.

On Easter morning, Brother finds his Easter candy and learns of a new Easter surprise—Baby Sister Bear. Papa is speechless, but Mama speaks of the miracle of new life. Brother is relieved to be able to sit on Mama’s lap again as family warmth returns.

The arrival of Baby Sister completes the season's cycle of renewal. The family embraces the miracle, and the questions Brother asks take on new meaning in light of their growing family. Spring finally feels whole and hopeful.
