- Stuck On Christmas
Huey, Dewey and Louie wake up on Christmas morning and open up their presents even though they are supposed to wait for Daisy, Uncle Scrooge, and Aunt Gertie. After they took they're new sleds from Uncle Donald (not reading the card) and go sledding, have Christmas dinner and sing carols, it was time for the boys to go to bed. The boys then wish that it would be Christmas every day. Their wish was granted and at first the three were joyful. After a few days later, they began to get sick of Christmas so they then decide to change the day including swapping a live turkey with the cooked one. The Christmas turned out to be a bad Christmas. After learning how hard their family had tried to make Christmas better for them, the boys become guilty for their pranks. The then decided to make amends and make the next day the best Christmas day ever, thus ending the time loop.

- Have Yourself a Goofy Christmas
Goofy and Max were mailing out a letter to Santa. However as soon as they get home, Pete tells Max that Santa doesn't exist. Things get worse when Goofy poses as a Santa for some kids and Max finds out that he tricked him. Goofy is determined to prove to Max that Santa does exist and even stays up all Christmas Eve to keep an eye out for him. But after falling off the roof, Goofy has given up hope of Santa coming. Max does everything that Goofy did to make Goofy happy including posing as Santa. This episode in Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas chronologically precedes the cartoon series, Goof Troop.
- Series: Silly Symphony
- Gift of the Magi
Mickey wants to get Minnie a gold chain for her one heirloom, her watch so he works at Crazy Pete's. Minnie wants to give Mickey something special so she works hard to get her special bonus. However, Pete takes all of Mickey's money and Minnie's bonus is nothing but fruit cake. After playing for a toy drive, Mickey has the idea that he can trade his harmonica for the chain. Back at Minnie's house, Mickey gives her the chain for her watch and Minnie gives him a case for his harmonica. Of course, the irony is that Minnie no longer has her watch -- just as Mickey no longer has his harmonica -- so the gifts are essentially useless. As in the classic "GIFT OF THE MAGI" upon which this adaptation -- penned by Richard Cray -- is based, the thought behind each gift is what counts.
