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, Kitty's friends 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 Kate 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, He's doing some last-minute Christmas shopping.

Sometime later, Pochacco 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. Chip and Judy likes to listen to Johnny Mathis' "Do You Hear What I Hear?" on Kitty's grandpa's radio, a news bulletin 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, Gakuto Waniyama and Grinder will sleep in the attic, Hangyodon will sleep in the bathtub, and Badtz Maru will sleep in the 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 Kurousa, Shirousa, Buchiusa, Mintousa, Rateusa, Kapuchinousa, Aousa and Aomimiusa), 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, her parents, grandparents, Mimmy, Robert, Daniel tries to cheer a fretful Kitty by saying it's not that cold, Chococat, his parents, Frido and Zonty (rivals of Kitty), Sugar's friends: Tiramisu, Mille-Fuille, Biscuit and Chocola in 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 mother begins singing "The Christmas Song" (Rocko joining them). The tearful Northern rockhopper penguin thank Kitty's Mama. Kitty's Mama opts to serve shredded wheat and cranberry sauce, which happens to be Rocko's favorite. Meanwhile, Ringo Starr, 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, Kitty heads down to the cellar to find that Mimmy and Judy, has found a magical hole leading to Care-a-Lot. In the forest, the sisters soon stumble upon the Care Bears and wish them a merry Christmas, and also explain the holiday to them because the Care Bears don't really know what it is. What the Care Bears do have, though, is a time when they give each other snowflakes and pass them on to other Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins. They sings "Winter Wonderland" Before the sisters head back upstairs, Good Luck Bear gives Judy the snowflake, in a show of friendship.

Kitty, Mimmy and Judy 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. Kitty is Clara, Sam is the Nutcracker and the Prince, Grinder is the Mouse King, Chococat is Fritz, Catnip is Louise and Kitty's Grandpa is Drosselmeyer. 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 Care Bears and the Care Bear Cousins come up to sings. Once they finish singing, Kitty then presents Sam with her gift for him - a white seal, Sam's biggest fan. Judy gives the snowflake to Martin Brisby. Then the snowplow 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, Sonia the Hedgehog, Manic the Hedgehog and Bunnie Rabbot singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". The last part shows Christopher Peters and Shintaro Tsuji themself making a cameo appearance preparing to wash and dry the dishes with Hana-Maru. Meanwhile, Kitty and Sam kiss under the mistletoe and wishing the home audience a Merry Christmas. The end credits then roll.
