Plot

Yogi and his little pal, Boo Boo, are usually hibernating during the Christmas season, but this year they are awakened when Huckleberry Hound, Snagglepuss, Doggie Daddy come to Jellystone Lodge for the holiday. The are joined by Ranger Smith, Mister Dingwell the hotel manager, Otto the chef and Sophie Throckmorton and her spoiled rotten nephew Snively. The gang is obsessed with keeping Mrs. Throckmorton happy to keep her from closing down the lodge. Due to activity caused by Herman the Hermit a grumpy Christmas-hating hermit who just wants to be left alone. After being embarassed by Yogi and hurt by his aunt Sohpie not standing up for him Snively runs away and eventually joins up with Herman to ruin christmas!

However, Yogi manages to thwrat them every time! Cindy Bear also awakens from her hibernation, to help Yogi out (due to her love and concern for him). Then in the midst of the festivities, Santa Claus plummets down the chimney bearing a picnic basket full of food for Yogi. Yogi, however, falls asleep, due to his natural instincts of hibernation. Santa then says that Yogi and Boo Boo can have the basket when they wake up in the spring, (much to Ranger Smith's obvious relief, that Yogi is fast asleep once more - for a few months, anyway).^[1]

Trivia

Some songs from Casper's First Christmas are featured in this movie in a re-recorded version.
There are two "goofs" in this special: When Huckleberry Hound announces free picnic baskets to wake up Yogi Bear, the color of his ears change from black to blue, then back to black. At the ice fishing contest, the tally board erroneously shows "Jinks" instead of "Snively". The feline rival to mice Pixie and Dixie does not appear anywhere in the show.
In the opening sequence, as the gang enters the park, they pass under a sign that says "Yellowstone" rather than "Jellystone" Park.
