On a holly-filled holiday outing to Jellystone Park, Huckleberry Hound leads a cheerful mix of friends—Hokey Wolf, Snagglepuss, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Doggie and [Doggie Daddy], and Snooper and Blabber—who drop in to spread Christmas spirit. Their visit takes an unexpected turn when they discover that Yogi Bear and Boo Boo Bear have slipped away from Jellystone and are hiding out in a department store, where Yogi has taken on the role of Santa Claus.
As the city hums with Christmas bustle, a young girl named Judy Jones struggles with faith in the holiday because her father, the aloof billionaire J. Wellington Jones, is rarely home. In a bid to keep the spirit alive, Yogi and Boo Boo propose guiding Judy through the urban maze to reach her dad and remind him to be present.
Back at Jellystone, Ranger Smith and the rest begin a search for the missing duo. A kindly man named Murray lends a picnic basket, setting the stage for a quest through shops and streets as Judy’s trail grows colder in the bustle of the city. Meanwhile, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy watch over Judy, keeping her safe while the adults work things out.
Police and the Jones family brace for the worst as they interrogate all the men who work as Santas at the department store. The mounting worry deepens when it seems Judy has been abducted, and Ranger Smith wrestles with the possibility of a grave misunderstanding, a reminder that the world of Yogi’s adventures can blur the line between mischief and danger.
At the park, the circle of friends celebrates Christmas, and the authorities close in. Yogi tells J. Wellington Jones that he needs to spend more time with Judy before she grows up, a candid plea that hits home for a father who has been tethered to work. Jones takes responsibility and helps clear the way for Yogi’s return, recognizing that family comes first. Ranger Smith ties up the loose ends to ensure Judy’s safety and peace of mind returns to the home.
The special ends with everyone joining in Christmas carols around a warm campfire in the park, a simple, hopeful note about faith, family, and the real meaning of the season.
