Plot:
The special kicks off with Hello Kitty, Mimmy, their parents and most of Kitty's friends (with the pointed exception of Tuxedo Sam and Chococat) driving through a blizzard in a pickup truck, singing "We Need a Little Christmas." They have decided to spend Christmas at the old farm where Kitty's grandparents lives. And since her grandparents loves surprises, they have not called to tell her they were coming. Unbeknownst to them, Kitty's Grandma and Grandpa are planning to spend Christmas in Malibu, and to make sure their farmhouse stays in one piece while they're gone, Kitty's grandfather has rented it to The Lionhearts: Leo, Lana, Kate, Spencer and Judy. Leo is looking forward to having "a nice, quiet Christmas" in the countryside. The Lionhearts' arrival though, the Muppets themselves show up, all the while slipping on an icy patch at the door (which is a running gag in this special), and Kitty's grandparents pleasantly surprised with the appearance of their granddaughters and their parents and friends," despite the fact that Kitty's grandparents now has to cancel their trip to Malibu, and willingly allows them to stay. Then the telephone rings, and Judy answers. It's Tuxedo Sam, who informs Kitty that his arrival will be delayed (due to a photo session).

Robert from The Wonderful Sisters with Julianna Scott from Mom Loves Me After All and Leo Lionheart Sr. arrive, and they begin to prepare for Christmas. Kitty and her twin Mimmy then begin the special's second song sequence. Their pleasant singing of "Jingle Bells" is quickly interrupted by Badtz Maru, Keroppi, Kuromi, Baku, Pochacco and Spencer performing "Jingle Bell Rock."

Meanwhile, Badtz Maru, Keroppi and Hana-Maru builds a snowman outside while Leo, Kitty's and Badtz-Maru's fathers chop down a Christmas tree, when PomPom Purin and his girlfriend Macaroon with CoroCoro Kuririn, his wife Sakura, childern Chacha, Cherry, Chibikuri, Komachi, Kurumi, Milk and Shingo arrive and shows up (and slips on the icy patch). Purin sits down to Kitty's grandmother's out-of-tune piano and starts playing "Sleigh Ride." Badtz Maru, Keroppi, Melody and Hana-Maru starts singing along. When Melody runs inside to try to tell Kitty about Chococat and his parents are go grocery shopping for Christmas turkeys and hams, slipping on the icy patch on the way in, but Kitty is called away by another Sam telephone message. This time, she's doing some last-minute Christmas shopping.

Sometime later, Pochcco stumbles upon an old home movie of the first Christmas Kitty and her friends ever spent together, so the gang sit down to watch it. The old footage shows Baby Hello Kitty and Friends singing "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town," while the fully-grown characters give commentary. At the end, when the baby Baku rips through a gift box in the film, the fully-grown Baku tears through the screen.

 But then Kitty points to the arrival of a group of MGM charatcers, who sing a medley of "Here We Come A-Caroling" and "Deck the Halls". They all come inside, slipping on the icy patch as they do so. A TV weather report from the Newsman announces an impending blizzard, causing Kitty to worry about Sam, Chococat and his parents out in the storm and gets more worried about them. 

Kitty's parents and grandparents go over where everyone is going to sleep. Catnip and Grinder will sleep in the attic, Hangyodon will sleep in the bathtub, and Badtz Maru and will bunk with Kitty. Keroppi, and the MGM characters perform a pageant of  'Twas the Night Before Christmas, with Keroppi as narrator, his girlfriend Keroleen as Mama, and Cynthia Brisby as the mouse who isn't stirring. The curtain behind opens to show the sleigh being pulled by the reindeer, all played by rabbits (including Melody, Kuromi, U*SA*HA*NA and the White Brothers), with Grandpa Leo as Santa Claus.

Sam calls Kitty one more time to tell her that his limo is stuck in the snowbank, and that he's going to take a taxi to the farmhouse. Then, while Sam gets caught in the wind, Chococat, his parents, Sugar's friends: Tiramisu, Mille-Fuille, Biscuit and Chocola from Chococat's fanny bag, and The Beatles are arrived in the farm. They're thanks to the snowplow driver (Larry the Cable Guy) for a ride. 

Kitty's parents and grandparents into the kitchen and starts to cooking turkeys and hams. Rocko is touched by this gift, and more so when Kitty's Mama begins singing "The Christmas Song" (Rocko joining him). The tearful gourmet and thank Kitty's Mama. Meanwhile, one of The Beatles, having observed Kitty's fears for Tuxedo Sam, offers to find him and help him get to the farmhouse; true, Ringo's never met him, but Ringo didn't know the Sanrio characters until this day and now considers them to be newfound friends and the Beatles offers to go out looking for Sam.

After The Beatles leaves, Kermit heads down to the cellar to find that her sister, Mimmy, has found a magical hole leading to Jeweland. In the forest, the sisters soon stumble upon the Jewelpets and Gakuto Waniyama and wish them a merry Christmas, and also explain the holiday to them because the Jewelpets and Waniyama don't really know what it is. What Waniyama and the Jewelpets do have, though, is a time when they give each other snowflakes and pass them on to other Jewelpets and the Sweetpets. They sings "Winter Wonderland" Before the sisters head back upstairs, Jasper gives Mimmy the snowflake, in a show of friendship.

Kitty and Mimmy return just in time to witness The Beatles and Tuxedo Sam's arrival on a dogsled (driven by the same Snowplow driver, wearing a Mountie-style uniform). Sam sings "Home for the Holidays" as Kitty brings him in and the others join in. His impressive entrance is undercut by the obligatory slip on the icy patch.

In the house, Kitty and friends are preparing Hello Kitty's Furry Tale Theater presents The Nutcracker Penguin. After the theater, all the cartoon characters now present, they sing a medley of Christmas songs, and everybody gets a chance to sing at least one line, including the Jewelpets, the Sweetpets and Waniyama come up to sings. Once they finish singing, Kitty then presents Sam with her gift for him - a white seal, Sam's biggest fan. Mimmy gives the Jewel snowflake to Martin Brisby. Then the snowprow driver then comes in dressed as Santa, gives out presents to the characters.

At the window they see Sonic the Hedgehog, Tails the Fox, Knuckles the Echidna, Princess Sally Acorn, Rotor Walrus and Bunnie Rabbot singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". The last part shows Christopher Peters himself making a cameo appearance preparing to wash and dry the dishes with Judy. Meanwhile, Kitty and Sam kiss under the mistletoe and wishing the home audience a Merry Christmas. The end credits then roll.
