The origins of everyone's favorite Christmas carol are explored in this animated holiday romp for the whole family. Sir Carolboomer is desperate to impress the impossible-to-please Princess Silverbelle, but when the lonely crowned head sends his dense squire Hollyberry to steal the princess' Christmas list, Hollyberry swipes the answers to the king's crossword puzzle by mistake. Now, as Hollyberry scrambles to find "a partridge in a pear tree," "eleven dames-a-dancing" and ten other impossible gifts by Christmas Eve, the devious Sir Carolboomer's plan for romance turns into a complete fiasco.
