When the family moves from the city to the woods right before Christmas, Ryan worries that Santa won't be able to find them. But when Santa's sleigh breaks down in the woods nearby, Dot and Spot must help Ryan and Robin fix it in time to save Christmas.

After the "liberation", the "five kilos of meat", which were initially locked up in the cellar, become a pet that the children take to bed with them and communicate with. But shortly before Christmas, father Löwenhaupt still wants to slaughter them. However, as his family protests and his conscience gets in the way, he can't slaughter the goose after all.
