A Wonderful Christmas Sleigh
The little fox and the little boar piglet have never been allowed to help with the Christmas preparations. “You are too small,” the other animals tell them time and time again. This year, however, the two have set their minds to proving them wrong. Together with the little reindeer, who has a similar problem, and its sleigh, they try to find ways to join in the fun. Will they manage to convince the other animals to let them take part and fulfil their heartfelt Christmas wishes?
The Bedtime Story Tree
Oh dear! Shortly before departing to visit grandpa owl, the little owl hurts its wing and can no longer fly. It is absolutely heartbroken! Then a letter arrives with a bedtime story from grandpa owl to cheer it up. And another arrives the next day. Soon, the other animals in the forest catch on and come to family owl's tree to listen to grandpa owl’s bedtime stories – until one day, a surprise arrives…
A Marvellous Christmas Song
Winter has come and the animals of the forest are excitedly looking forward to the Christmas celebrations. Squirrel Klecks has just returned from the city and recounts a wondrous tale: human children prepare a little surprise for Santa! The animals like this idea so much they decide to do the same. But what would Santa like the most? Maybe a very special Christmas song?
The Unforseen Christmas Letter
Christmas is just around the corner and little raccoon Puck longingly watches the birds delivering the mail for he dreams of receiving a Christmas letter of his very own. In another part of the forest, the little wren’s biggest wish is to deliver a real letter for once, but the other animals think him not strong enough. Uncle Whiskers takes fulfilling their wishes into his paws, but the letter is heavy and the wren is so small. Will he be able to get the letter to Puck in time for Christmas?
An Unexpected Christmas Guest
The bear has been so busy preparing for hibernation that he even forgot to go to sleep. However, he is overjoyed: For the first time ever, he’ll be able to celebrate Christmas! He wants to host a great party for the inhabitants of the forest and immediately sets out to write invitations, make decorations and get a tree. Unfortunately, the other animals are afraid of him and when Christmas Eve arrives, he is waiting in vain for his guests – or is he?
