Merry Christmas, Thomas.

Merry Christmas, Percy.

[wind howls]

[shivers]

Oh, no. My Christmas mail.

Whoa! Here you go.

Thanks, Thomas.

That cold wind sure is winter-windy.

Looks like you're in a hurry.

Yeah. I'm making sure everyone's Christmas cards

are delivered before Christmas, so I don't want to lose one.

That would be the worst.

Oh. Here's one for you.

- Thanks, and... - [train whistle blows]

Merry Christmas, everyone.

[cheering]

See you later, Thomas.

Good luck.

There you are. There you are.

Oh, thank you, Thomas.

This float will be the crown jewel,

the star of the annual Sodor Christmas parade.

I bet it would look even better if Santa was riding in it.

[chuckles] He will be!

Hold the whistle. Santa's coming to our parade?

Yes. Isn't it so very exciting?

Oh, Thomas, would you mind taking

some Christmas cookie ingredients

to Reginald's Bakery?

Santa loves Reginald's Christmas cookies.

You can count on me.

I can't wait to tell Percy

Santa's going to be in our parade!

Oh-ho-ho! Now, I must prepare for the parade.

Everything needs to be perfect for Santa's arrival.

[train whistle blows]

All aboard Annie and Clarabel's annual Sodor Christmas tour,

this year, starring me, James.

And we love that you're red, James.

Just like Santa's sleigh.

Ho-ho-ho!

[train whistle blows]

I must admit, red looks great on the both of us.

- [parts clank] - Whoa!

Oh, bolts.

My coupler broke.

- Oh, dear. - Oh, my.

Our passengers can't miss the tour.

Don't worry, ladies.

This is the part where Sandy usually pops up

and saves the day.

[bird squawks]

Any moment now.

Not today, my dear.

Sandy is setting up Christmas Mountain

for the parade.

- [steam hisses] - Did I say "bolts" yet?

And we promised our passengers a red Christmas engine

that would take them on the tour this year.

[Kana] Chugga-chugga woo-hoo!

How about a lift while James still leads the way?

An excellent idea! Thank you, Kana.

The shiny, handsome, charming Christmas red engine

may be down, but he's not out.

- Follow me. - [train whistle blows]

Thank you, dearie.

[train whistle blows]

[James] Ho-ho-ho!

[passengers exclaiming]

- Oh! - Whoa.

I can't wait to hang my star

at the tippy-top of Christmas Mountain again.

Then everyone at the parade will see it.

Just like last year.

Yeah. It was pretty cool.

All those beautiful lights.

[Sandy] Yeah. About those lights

[grunts]

If we can't sort these out,

we won't be able to light up anything.

Oh, no, no. We have to light up Christmas Mountain.

It's tradition now.

Don't worry, Bruno. We'll get the lights sorted out.

Come here, Sandy.

Thanks, Diesel.

I want to get to work on a snowy de-squeakinator surprise.

[they groan]

Maybe we should start with your star this year.

No. We have to do the lights first,

since that's what we did last year.

Come on.

[both] Whoa!

Traditions are something you do the same way every year.

That's why you can count on them,

because they're always the same.

I got this, Bruno. I'm a great de-tangler.

[both] Whoa-oa-oa!

Wait for it.

[screaming]

Whoa.

Epic!

Yeah. And it almost worked.

But the lights are still tangled.

Huh?

I got this, Bruno.

Ta-da. See? Whoa.

Tradition saved.

[giggles]

Thanks, Sandy. I'm on it.

While you handle the lights,

I've got a little surprise to show you.

I've turned my de-squeakinator into a re-snowinator.

Like a snow machine?

Exactly.

He'll make things snowier and Christmassy-er.

[explosion]

[laughs nervously] I'm still working the kinks out.

That's okay.

You work on the re-snowinator

while I start hanging the lights.

[squeaks]

Is something wrong, Bruno?

Last year, we started hanging the lights over there.

Well, the way we set it up

doesn't have to be exactly the same, right?

[squeaks]

No. But we can do it the same, can't we, Carly?

Sure. You're right. [chuckles]

It's tradition.

It's also a tradition for me to hang the special star

at the top again before we light up the tree.

I mean, mountain.

[chuckles]

- Yeah. - Oh, yeah.

Where are you headed?

I'm off to deliver these Christmas cookie ingredients

to Reginald's Bakery.

They're Santa's favorite cookie.

And guess who's coming to the parade tonight?

- No. - Yes.

No.

Yes!

Santa Claus is toot-ally coming to our parade!

Sir Topham Hatt just told me.

Amazing! And Percy-perfect timing.

I'm delivering my last Christmas card to Reginald now.

Let's go together.

Chugga-chugga woo-hoo!

[train whistles blow]

Special deliveries for Reginald the Baker.

And I've got your Christmas cookie ingredients

- right here. - [whistle blows]

Whoa! Mmm.

[grunts] I think I'm stuck.

I got you, loc-amigo.

A little more.

- [grunts] - Almost.

You got to pull. Almost.

Whoa!

[both] Whoa! Oh, no.

[coughs]

[coughs]

Whoa! Check it out.

We look like gingerbread engines.

[sniffs] Yep. We smell like them, too.

[laughing]

[laughing]

I'm sure there's enough baking supplies left

to finish your Christmas cookies, Reginald.

Hey. That was my last delivery.

I'm done with my deliveries for the whole year.

Me, too.

Sky-five!

What do you want to do? Go check out the parade?

I know. Let's see if Carly and Sandy need any help

setting up Christmas Mountain.

There's so much to do.

Christmas really is the best time to be an engine.

Yeah!

[giggling]

Huh. Are you sure this is where we hung these last year?

Abso-toot-ly.

I don't remember it being this hard to reach.

I could really use an extension for the end of my crane arm.

Hmm. An extension would make a great Christmas gift for Carly.

But first, I've got to get my re-snowinator re-snowinating.

[whirs, rumbles]

That noise is very loud.

Sorry about that, Bruno.

The cold snow must be freezing up the gears.

[Bruno] But why do we need more snow?

We didn't need a re-snowinator last year.

That's true,

but sometimes it's nice to add to our traditions.

It'll be magical.

[whirs, rumbles]

Can it be magically quieter?

I'm sorry.

It's not supposed to be this loud.

Come on, pal.

Let's work over here.

[parts clink]

That's not the problem.

That isn't, either.

Oh. It's out of grease.

Oh, here, Sandy. You can use some of mine.

No. You have a lot of lights to hang,

and I don't want your arm to get stuck.

I have a little extra I can spare.

Thanks. It will help,

but not enough so we can make squeak-free snow.

[sighs] I wish I had enough grease to last forever.

Hmm...

Grease would make a great Christmas present for Sandy.

[Thomas] Merry Christmas, everyone.

How's it going up here?

Hey. Looking good, guys.

We just finished our last deliveries.

To the bakery, obviously.

So, we came to see if you need any help

setting up Christmas Mountain.

We sure do, especially if we're going to get this done

before the parade tonight.

Hey, Percy, didn't you say you were done delivering mail?

I sure did.

Then why is there a letter in your cab?

[gasps] There is?

[grunts]

Hang on, Percy. We've got you.

Oh. A missing letter delivery? This has never happened before.

Don't worry, Percy.

There's still time to deliver one more letter.

[exhales sharply] You're right.

No biggie. The card is just going to...

What's wrong, Percy?

Who could it possibly be that [gasps]

[both] Santa!

Okay. It's a very big deal.

What if the kid who wrote it

doesn't get their Christmas wish?

What if they wished for a robot that makes their bed?

Or a pet striped kangaroo?

Or for unlimited grease?

Or an extension for their crane?

Oh, what am I going to do?

It's okay, Percy. Whatever their wish is,

you're just the engine to fix this.

You're right.

I'll run to the mail depot...

and they can ship it off to Santa.

But you might miss the Christmas parade.

The schedule is very tight.

Percy is the best at delivering mail.

I bet he can deliver the letter and make it to the parade.

Besides, Christmas is about helping others,

and this kid is counting on me.

I'll come with you.

Thanks, Thomas.

Make way for the Christmas Letter Express.

[both] Bye.

Good luck.

Thanks.

[clears throat] Alrighty.

Here we are at the world's biggest...

Whoa!

Sorry. Christmas Letter Express coming through.

As I was saying,

here we are at the world's biggest lighthouse.

You mean the world's biggest candy cane.

I'm pretty sure that's a lighthouse.

The red and white stripes, dearie.

It looks like a giant candy cane.

Oh. Indeed.

The world's biggest candy-cane lighthouse.

Moving on.

[train whistle blows]

Where is everyone? Hello? Hello?

Oh, no. They just closed. Which means...

the last shipment to Santa already went out.

Which means...

Someone's not going to get their Christmas wish

because I lost their letter.

We just have to find another way to get the letter to Santa.

Hmm.

There is one.

We're the Christmas Letter Express.

We'll deliver this letter to Santa ourselves.

We're going to the North Pole.

We are?

[objects clatter]

Okay. I've got a map

and my goggles, so I can see through the snow

if there's a storm.

Ker-plow!

And I've got my ker-plow snowplow,

in case we get stuck in the snow.

And I'll keep the letter next to my lucky bell

so it's nice and safe.

I think we're ready.

[bell dings]

- Let's do this. - Okay.

If we take the bridge to the mainland,

we can head north from there.

Sounds like a plan. Let's roll.

[horn blares]

Oh, no. That means it's the end of the day

and it'll be dark soon.

That's okay. We have our twinkle lights.

No, Percy.

That means Santa must be leaving the North Pole

to deliver everyone's Christmas gifts.

We won't make it there on time.

Which means he could be anywhere in the world.

So many places he could be...

including Sodor. That's it!

You said he's coming to the parade.

[gasps] Of course!

We can deliver the letter to him here at the Christmas parade.

The Christmas Letter Express is back on track.

He's got to be around here somewhere.

[gasps] There he is!

[both] Santa, Santa!

I have a special delivery for...

you?

Thomas, Percy! Ho-ho-ho. Merry Christmas.

How am I doing?

Good.

I mean, we thought you were...

Santa?

Don't I look just like him?

Well, yes, but...

Why do you look just like him?

I'm getting in the Christmas spirit.

But of course, there is only one real Santa.

Do you know when he'll be here?

Well, after he finishes delivering all the gifts,

I suppose.

That'll be too late.

Too late for what? Santa is never too late!

He's Santa.

Percy is trying to deliver a child's letter to him.

It could have their Christmas wish inside.

Oh, dear.

Well, if anyone can get that letter to Santa in time,

it's you, Percy.

You're right.

- Thanks, Sir Topham Hatt. - [train whistle blows]

Oh, Gordon. Let's do a test run.

I can fill in as Santa.

I do make a splendiferous Santa substitute.

- So, where do we start? - [Nia] Start what?

Hi, Nia.

We found somebody's letter to Santa.

And we have to get it to him before the parade starts.

No one knows more about delivering letters

than you, Percy.

Where do you think he'll be?

I'm not sure. My route is Sodor.

Santa's route is the whole world.

All we know for sure is that he's going to fly here

sometime tonight.

Well, then we know the first place to look.

[both] Huh?

He'll be flying.

That means we just have to...

check the sky.

Okay. So, the sky is pretty big.

He could be anywhere out there.

And we can't see very far from here.

Then we're going to go where we can see the whole sky:

Lookout Mountain.

All right, Sandy. Light 'em up.

You got it.

- [Carly] Yes! - [Sandy] Epic.

- Sparking. - Beautiful.

[gasps] We forgot to hang my star.

Turn off the lights.

We have to hang my star before we turn them on.

[electricity zaps]

Bruno means turn them all off, Sandy.

I didn't turn any off yet.

Hmm. Maybe those lights aren't working.

[Diesel] More like a lot of the lights aren't working.

Did we bring any extra lights?

Nope.

[squeaks]

- [helicopter blades whir] - [gasps]

Merry Christmas, Harold.

Copy that. Right back at you.

I was heading east

and saw some of your lights are out.

Yeah. We know.

But hey, maybe you can help us find some new ones?

Roger that. Ha-ha. 'Tis the season.

Thanks, Harold.

- Hope he finds enough. - [Sandy] You know,

I bet I have some more lights back at the maintenance yard.

Let's rock and roll.

Did you finish decorating the mountain?

Did you deliver the letter?

No.

[gasps]

[brakes squeal]

[both] What happened?

The mail depot was closed,

so we decided to head to the North Pole

to deliver the letter to Santa.

But then we realized it was getting dark,

which meant Santa already left the North Pole.

So now, we're heading to Lookout Mountain

to try to flag Santa down before the parade starts

and it's too late.

What about you?

We finished decorating Lookout Mountain.

But some lights aren't working.

So, we're going to the maintenance yard

to find some new ones...

Before the parade starts and it's too late.

[all] Good luck!

Hello, dearies.

[whirs, rumbles]

Oh, dear. What was that?

Aw. Not again.

My de-squeakinator was supposed to be a re-snowinator

snow machine, but I'm dropping that idea.

It was a good try, if a loud one.

[giggles]

Well, we're excited to see Christmas Mountain

again this year.

Us, too. If we can find more lights.

Let me know if you find a new coupler while you're at it.

Coupler? Hmm.

Oh, I can fix that in a jiff.

I'll meet you guys back at the yard.

Ah. Good as new.

[whirs, rumbles]

Unlike my re-snowinator.

You are a tour-saver, Kana, but I have it from here.

Have fun.

Let's see if I can help with those lights.

[electricity crackles]

Come on. We don't want to miss getting this letter to Santa.

Hey. Let's take a shortcut through the old mine.

It's the fastest way to Lookout Mountain. Come on!

The old mine?

Okay,

but only because it's an express delivery.

[gulps]

[steel beam scrapes]

[Percy] Hey, where did you go? Oh, there you are.

- Yeah! - Woo!

- Woo-hoo! - Yeah.

[shouts]

Check this out.

["Jingle Bells" plays]

[Thomas] See? We're almost there.

Woo-hoo!

- Yeah! - Whoa!

[Percy] That was awesome, Thomas.

What a jolly shortcut.

Hi, guys.

Heard there was some trouble up here with the lights.

[electrical buzzing]

Yeah. Only some of the lights are working.

Maybe the problem is electrical.

Let me try again with more boost.

[electricity crackles]

It's working!

[helicopter blades whir]

Hi, Harold.

Howdy, Thomas.

Saw the lights and thought they might be fixed.

Not fixed quite yet, but we're working on it.

I'm going to keep looking for more lights just in case.

Merry Christmas. Over.

Merry Christmas. Over.

Hey. If Harold saw the lights go on,

then Santa will, too!

Good point. If we can just see Santa,

we can use the lights to get his attention.

Ooh. Great idea.

Everyone spread out.

We want to look in every direction.

We'll definitely be able to spot Santa from up here.

Bet we'll see him any minute now.

Ah.

Any minute.

He's a-coming.

[sniffles]

[sobs]

Hey, loc-amigo. It's going to be okay.

It's just this is a kid's Christmas wish.

[sleigh bells jingle]

[Santa] Ho-ho-ho!

Look. Look, look, look! Could that be...

Santa!

It looks like he's headed for Vicarstown.

[Percy] Come on!

It's time for everyone to board the Christmas Letter Express.

Sorry, pal.

You're going to have to wait until next year.

Right now, I need lights.

Not lights. Not lights.

Not...

- [cow lows] - Oh, hi, Bessy.

[cowbell clangs]

No lights here.

No lights here.

- [Sandy] Nope. - [Carly] Uh-uh.

- [Sandy] Nope. - [Carly] Uh-uh.

[Sandy] Ooh.

Nope. Just a giant candy cane.

- [sniffs] - [giggles]

Not here,

or here.

Why would you put lights inside an oil drum?

While Sandy looks for the lights,

I'm really looking for grease to give Sandy as a Christmas gift.

- Huh? - [objects clatter in workshop]

Not here or here.

Any luck?

Not yet, but let me know if you see anything

that would make a good extension for Carly's arm.

Ooh! Maybe this'll work.

What about that?

Huh?

Too floppy to be a good arm extension.

Not as an arm extension. Aren't those Christmas lights?

Yes, obviously.

[objects clatter]

Oh, yeah.

Found them!

[grunts]

[pants]

Come on.

We don't want to lose Santa.

He needs this letter.

Right behind you, loc-amigo.

But with all this snow on the tracks,

I should be in front.

Ker-plow!

I think we lost him.

[Santa] Ho-ho-ho!

There he goes! Come on. Follow that sleigh!

Whoo-hoo!

Come on, Percy.

[Percy] Wait for me.

There he is.

Uh, isn't. Is. Isn't. Is?

Isn't. Is?

He went behind that hill.

We can't lose him now.

I got this.

[Percy] We're going to finally get this letter to Santa.

W-w-where did he go?

- I don't know. - I don't see him anywhere.

[bells jingle]

Did you hear that?

It sounds like Santa's reindeer.

Follow those jingle bells!

We're getting closer.

[bell dings]

[gasps] More jingle bells.

- [cowbell clangs] - [lows]

No Santa Claus. Only Santa Cows.

Get it? Santa Cows?

Yeah. I don't think it's funny, either. [sighs]

- [bell dings] - Wait.

I hear a different jingling.

I hear it, too. And it's definitely not a cow.

I think it's over here.

Nope. It's behind us.

[bell dings]

Oh. It's just me.

My lucky bell holder broke again.

Don't worry, Percy. We'll pick up Santa's trail again.

Yeah.

There's got to be other ways to find Santa.

Maybe we just have to listen for the "Ho's" instead.

The "Ho's?"

You know, when Santa says, "Ho-ho-ho!"

Great idea.

[sniffs] I don't hear anything.

But do you smell something?

It smells like... gingerbread?

[sniffs] Wait.

Aren't Reginald's Christmas cookies gingerbread cookies?

They are, and Santa loves Christmas cookies.

Who could resist?

Follow that smell.

[coupler clicks]

[shutters click]

[train whistle blows]

And here's the world's biggest gingerbread train station.

Oh. How wonderful.

And it smells scrumptious.

Well, we found where the gingerbread smell

is coming from, but no sign of Santa.

But I thought Santa loved Christmas cookies.

Oh, Santa does. Reginald the Baker

has been very, very busy this year.

Not only did he create this wonderful gingerbread station.

He made gingerbread cookies for the boys and girls of Vicarstown

to leave out for Santa.

That means Santa will be coming for the cookies.

We have to get to Vicarstown.

Did you deliver the letter?

Not yet, but we're about to.

Santa's already been here.

He's been here, too.

Here, too.

He's already been to this whole neighborhood.

[sighs] How do you catch up to someone

who can fly around the whole world

in one night?

- [train whistle blows] - [Thomas] Santa, over here!

- Over here, Santa. - Yeah!

- [Thomas] Yeah! - [Nia] Woo-hoo!

Wow.

We know one thing, Percy.

Santa's still flying across Sodor.

And nobody gets across Sodor faster than us.

Woo-hoo!

Whoa!

Woo-hoo!

Let's get these new lights set up

so we can spark up Christmas Mountain for Santa.

You got it.

We'll start there.

Ho-ho-ho. Here we go.

Okay, Bruno.

Think you can hold on to these so they don't get tangled again?

No, but I know someone who can.

- [pig squeals] - [giggles]

It looks like he's on the other side of Crumble Canyon.

Let's go.

- Woo-hoo! - Yes.

Crumble Canyon. Had to be Crumble Canyon.

Come on, Percy. We're getting closer.

We're going to deliver that letter.

[lights rattle]

No sign of the boulder.

Well, it is Christmas Eve. Maybe the boulder won't...

[rumbles]

Spoke too soon.

Merry Christmas.

[screaming]

That was close.

Santa's right over that ridge.

[Percy] Santa, Santa!

[helicopter blades whir]

Harold?

[helicopter blades whir]

Hey, Percy. Maybe Harold's seen Santa.

[gasps] Harold!

Any chance you've seen Santa up there in the sky tonight?

That's a negative, Percy. Zero Santa-sightings so far.

Just need to drop off these lights

for Carly, and Operation Santa Search will be a go.

- [wind howls] - [gasps] The letter!

[clucks]

[train whistle blows]

Hey! We need that letter.

[clucks]

[all] Whoa-oa-oa!

- I got it! - I got it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Come on!

It went this way.

[all] Whoa!

[grunts]

I got it! No, I don't.

[whirs, rumbles]

[Kana] It's heading towards the express tunnel.

Or not.

It's going over the mountain. Come on.

We can beat it to the other side and catch it there.

Woo-hoo!

[gulps] I don't know. I don't like the tunnel.

It's so dark in there, especially at night.

We'll be right by your side.

But if you want to go around, let's go around.

[gulps] No.

There's a kid out there who's counting on me.

- You can do it. - You got this, Percy.

That's the Christmas spirit.

Bet I can beat you there.

Whoosh me, Kana.

Electric!

[electricity zaps]

[Thomas] Go, Percy!

Percy!

- Look out. - Stop.

[Percy] Oh, no!

Ker-plow!

- [shouts] - [brakes squeal]

Thanks, loc-amigo. I owe you one.

The letter!

I've got it.

It's coming my way. I've got it.

[sneezes]

Uh, nope.

- Al... - most.

After that letter.

- [groaning] - [Percy] Come back here!

[they grunt]

- [helicopter blades whir] - Thanks for the lights, Harold.

10-4.

Okay. The last lights are up.

Let's spark up this mountain.

Wait. Bruno, did you want to hang your star first?

Yes. Just like we did last year.

[zapping]

What do you think, Bruno? As good as last year?

No. Even better!

Wow.

Whoa.

Wow.

[Thomas] It's headed up the mountain!

Which looks fantastic, by the way.

[grunts]

- [Kana] Come on! - [Percy] Whoa!

Someone stop it!

Let's go.

Got you, Sandy.

Got it.

- Woo-hoo! - All right.

Great job.

Way to go, Sandy and Carly.

Phew.

Yee-haw!

[gasps] Oh, no!

[gasping]

I've got it.

[all sighing]

Way to go, Bruno.

Stopping things is what I do.

What does it say?

"Dear Santa.

This year, my Christmas wish

is for you to bring me a pink polka-dotted skateboard.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Love, Ryan. 51 School Street, Vicarstown."

Aw...

So sweet.

It is a Christmas wish.

We got to get that kid a skateboard.

A pink polka-dot skateboard.

Well, then, let's find a skateboard

and deliver it to little Ryan.

But I'm supposed to deliver the letter to Santa

and Santa is supposed to deliver the gift.

We don't know if we're going to find Santa in time.

But you can still deliver a Christmas wish.

You're right.

I am still helping make a Christmas wish come true.

Let's chugga-chugga do this.

But shouldn't someone stay here to look out for Santa,

and signal him with the lights?

Good idea. If we see Santa, we can let him know

you're delivering Ryan's Christmas wish.

[Bruno] I'll stay, too.

I want to spend more time with my star.

We all better hurry.

The parade will be starting soon.

Great. Let's go.

Anyone know where we can find a skateboard?

Awesome toys, but no pink polka-dotted skateboard.

[sighs]

Hey.

Looking good today, Mr. T. rex.

Seen any pink polka-dotted skateboards around?

No? I didn't think so.

[objects clink and clatter]

[horn honks]

Hello.

Diesel, what are you doing?

Looking for a pink polka-dotted skateboard.

In a scrap pile?

I looked everywhere else.

Thought it might be worth a shot.

[sighs] I can't find

a pink polka-dotted skateboard anywhere.

[cow lows]

Well, it's a pink polka-dotted cow

on something like a skateboard,

but I don't think that's what Ryan wants for Christmas.

[lows]

[Percy] Skateboard? Skateboard?

Got to find... [yelps] Ice!

Whoa, whoa!

[screams]

[parts squeak]

[giggles] Yeah.

Whiff, Whiff?

Whiff?

[parts clink]

[clucks]

Hi, Henelope. Have you seen Whiff?

[clucks]

Hey, Sandy. What can I do for you?

Hi, Whiff.

Any chance you have a pink polka-dotted skateboard?

Pink polka-dotted skateboard, huh?

What do you think, Henelope?

[clucks]

[objects clink and clatter]

[clucks]

Sorry, Sandy.

Thanks for looking, Whiff.

[clucks]

Oh, sorry. Thank you for looking.

Hey. While I'm here,

you wouldn't happen to have any grease for my de-squeakinator?

[clucks]

Sorry. We're fresh out of grease.

What about a crane arm extension for Carly?

Hmm. Fresh out of those, too.

That's what I get for waiting until the last minute

to do my Christmas shopping.

Hey. Can I have those wheels?

Of course. Merry Christmas.

Thanks, Whiff. It just got a whole lot merrier.

Good luck out there.

Ooh. It's getting cold.

What do you say we fire up the old smelter

so we can stay warm and cozy?

[clucks]

I couldn't find a skateboard.

Me either.

I came up empty, too.

Nothing. To be honest,

I don't think I was looking in the right place.

But we can't let Ryan down.

It's my job to make sure their wish comes true.

[gasps] What if we make Ryan a skateboard?

How do we do that?

I can do it. Easy-greasy.

Come on. Let's make that skateboard.

[parts whir and clank]

[Percy] Oh, this is going to be great.

When Sandy's done,

we can make Ryan's Christmas wish come true.

[Sandy] Ta-da!

[all gasping]

Yeah. Doesn't really look like a skateboard.

What are you talking about?

It's got pink polka dots, wheels,

and you can ride on it.

Check it out!

[engine revs]

Yeah! Woo-hoo!

Woo-hoo!

Whoa! Yeah.

Oh, no!

Woo!

[laughs] Epic wipeout.

But it looks like your de-squeakinator broke.

Sorry. Your re-snowinator.

Ah, he's always a little bit broken.

I can fix him later.

But that piece would make a nice crane arm extension for Carly.

Hmm.

Thanks for trying, Sandy,

but the skateboard plan isn't working.

We still need to find a way to get Santa's attention.

How? We don't know where he is,

and the parade will be starting any minute,

which means Santa is probably done delivering his gifts.

[all gasping]

There's got to be some way to find him.

While you guys look for Santa,

I'll go to Lookout Mountain and check on Carly and Bruno.

- [bells jingle faintly] - Do you hear that?

Probably just another store door opening

or a cow wandering by.

Then do you see that?

It's probably just Harold again.

[helicopter blades whir]

Negative.

Wait.

Jingle bells and lights?

It's got to be...

[all] Santa!

Yeah. I've been trying to tell you that.

[James] And there it is.

The big show.

Christmas Mountain!

[passengers exclaiming]

Magnificent.

Breathtaking.

It worked. Santa's coming this way.

- I hope it worked. - [gasping]

Ho-ho-ho!

[gasping]

[Santa] Merry Christmas!

[Percy] Santa, Santa, Santa!

Wait. We have a letter for...

you.

I wonder if Santa liked my star.

Oh. You didn't get to give Santa the letter.

No. And now, I never will.

Oh, Percy. You tried really hard.

I know, but I still wanted Ryan to get a Christmas wish.

Hey, you did the best you could.

[man] He abso-toot-ly did.

Santa!

Ho-ho-ho. And he showed everyone

what Christmas is really about.

Getting lots of gifts?

[Santa chuckling] Oh.

Everyone can be a helper to others,

even if they don't know it.

That's how Christmas wishes come true, Diesel.

Santa knows my name?

But I didn't even help Ryan.

Oh, you found me, didn't you?

You mean it's not too late?

For a Christmas wish?

Oh, It's never too late.

[Percy gasps]

How did you know?

[chuckles] I'm Santa Claus.

I wonder.

Would you do me a favor, Percy, and deliver this gift?

[gasps] Did you hear that?

Santa wants me to deliver one of his Christmas gifts.

Yes, Santa, yes!

Delivering the mail is my favorite thing

in the whole world.

Ho-ho-ho. Wonderful!

[chuckles]

And now, I'm off to Kenya to deliver a few more gifts.

What about the parade?

I'm sure Sir Topham Hatt

will make a splendiferous Santa substitute.

[chuckles]

Ho-ho-ho!

Merry Christmas!

[all] Wow.

Come on, everyone.

We got a Christmas wish to deliver.

But Santa said this is your special delivery, Percy.

But I wouldn't be here without the help of all of my friends.

We should deliver it together.

[Santa] Christmas!

[gasps]

[Percy sighs]

I think this is my favorite delivery of all time.

Mine, too.

[Nia gasps] The parade!

We have to go to the parade.

It is a tradition.

- Yeah. - Let's go!

Hurry, hurry!

Uh, let's do it!

Look. We made it!

Wow. Look at all the floats.

I can't see. I can't see!

Wow.

[gasping]

[gasping]

[gasping]

Ooh!

Christmas Mountain.

That star is perfect.

Wait. Is that Santa again?

Merry Christmas!

It's really me, Sir Topham Hatt.

Psst! I know the real Santa.

Merry Christmas.

A little higher.

[Carly grunts]

That's as high as my arm will go.

Funny you should say that. Put me down.

Maybe this'll help.

- [gasps] - Merry Christmas.

I got you an extension for your crane.

Now, you can reach things even further

and lift me up even higher.

I love it!

And I got you more grease for your re-snowinator.

Oh. Epic!

Where did you find this?

Well, I kind of took apart the re-snowinator to make it.

Where did you find the grease?

I couldn't, so I used my extra grease.

But you can't use your crane arm without crane grease.

And you can't use your de-squeakinator

I mean, your re-snowinator, if it's in pieces.

Hmm. Guess we didn't think about that.

'Cause we were thinking about each other, I guess.

That's why we're best friends.

- Merry Christmas, Sandy. - Merry Christmas, Carly.

[Thomas] Come on.

Let's go back to Lookout Mountain and take in the view.

We've been so busy we haven't really seen the island lit up.

Hey. Did you ever make a Christmas wish, Thomas?

I really wanted a new whistle. What about you?

[yawns]

My wish is to deliver the mail every Christmas.

And I wouldn't mind my lucky bell hook getting fixed.

[bell dings]

I wanted some polish for my lucky oil can.

I wanted a new battery pack.

What about you, Nia? [yawns]

[snores]

[all laughing]

[whirs smoothly]

[Santa] Ho-ho-ho!

Merry Christmas!
