Yogi’s First Christmas

Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Augie Doggie, Doggie Daddy and friends arrive at Jellystone Lodge for the holiday. The lodge is under pressure from Mrs. Throckmorton to stay open, as business has dwindled because of Herman the Hermit's disruptive Christmas antics. The group is determined to keep her happy and save the lodge from closure.

The wake-up music signals that Yogi and Boo Boo are to help out as lodge staff. They squeeze into the kitchen where Otto the chef works and begin their first assignments. Their new jobs set the stage for the comic chaos to come.

Yogi is ordered to operate the snowplow and promptly saves Mrs. Throckmorton on the road from an avalanche caused by Herman. The rescue earns him a measure of trust from the lodge staff. It also confirms his usefulness beyond stealing picnics.

Ranger Smith assigns Yogi to stay on Mrs. Throckmorton’s good side as he works as a bellhop. Yogi handles guests and tasks with a mix of clumsiness and charm. The assignment pushes him into closer contact with the lodge's main client.

Snively begins a campaign of embarrassing pranks against Yogi, hoping to undermine him. Yogi stays calm and outsmarts the schemes, turning each trick to his advantage. The rival's plan backfires while the crowd enjoys the chaos.

Snively tricks Yogi into entering a figure skating contest where both compete. Yogi ultimately earns the highest marks, much to Snively's chagrin. Mrs. Throckmorton privately hopes Snively loses to curb his attitude and preserve the holiday spirit.

Following Yogi's wins and help during incidents, Mrs. Throckmorton promotes him to chief of security. He takes the new role seriously and continues protecting the lodge and guests. The promotion marks a turning point in Yogi's status at Jellystone.

Cindy Bear awakens from hibernation to help Yogi due to her love and concern for him. She joins the lodge's new security team and brings cheer. Her reappearance spurs renewed teamwork among the characters.

During an ice fishing contest, Yogi is fed up with Snively's antics and retaliates. Mrs. Throckmorton agrees that he needed to learn a lesson, despite the festive mood. The confrontation highlights the tension between the rival and the holiday spirit.

Snively runs away after the confrontation and meets Herman, and the two decide to team up to ruin Christmas. They plot from the woods, hoping to spoil the celebrations. Their plan sets up a final showdown with Yogi.

Yogi thwarts Herman and Snively at every turn, often without realizing the full extent of their plans. The hermit and the nephew interfere with various holiday activities, but Yogi's instincts and luck keep the events from spiraling out of control. The lodge continues to celebrate despite the meddling.

Herman and Snively are forgiven and invited to the Christmas celebrations. The act of generosity sparks a profound change of heart in both of them. The spirits of the season prevail as harmony returns.

Santa Claus plummets down the chimney and joins the festivities. He acknowledges that Yogi has both misdeeds and good deeds, and he respects the balance of his character. Santa grants Yogi his own picnic basket full of food as a token of appreciation.

Yogi falls asleep due to his natural hibernation instinct as the guests continue celebrating. Santa explains that the basket can be claimed in the spring when they wake up. The party ends with Yogi, Boo Boo and Cindy being returned to their caves to sleep through the rest of the season.
