A Disney Christmas Gift Special

Goofy goes skiing, Donald Duck goes ice skating, and Pluto finds himself in a cat-and-mouse game with two feisty chipmunks hiding in Mickey's Christmas tree. When it premiered in 1982, A Disney Christmas Gift featured a parade of the corporation's most popular critters, as well as clips from hit Disney films and the 1933 animated short The Night Before Christmas. While it returned to television each season in various forms over the following decade, it has yet to be released on DVD.
