Summary[]
Wubbzy stops at nothing to get the perfect Christmas tree on Old Man Grumpus’ land.
Recap[]
Every year during the holidays, the people of Wuzzleburg decorate the tree in Wuzzleburg Town Square. This year, however, the tree has been cut down by beavers, so Wubbzy and his friends search for a replacement on Mount Zubba Bubba. But there was one problem. An old man named Mr. Grumpus lives there and he doesn’t let anybody take trees or even celebrate the holidays on his property, so he chased him and his friends away. Snowman Willy explained every year at holiday time, since he was very young, he has always gotten pairs of long john underwear for his present. He never got what he really wanted, a choo-choo train. Wubbzy and his friends decided to come up with a plan to make Mr. Grumpus happy with a gift and tree decorations.
But this made Mr. Grumpus even grumpier and chases everyone away and takes down the tree decorations before noticing the big present under the tree. When he opens it and finds the gift he's always wanted, a real working choo-choo train, he then starts to feel bad about how he behaved toward the people of Wuzzleburg. To make things right, he redecorates the tree and takes it to town on his new train. He also gives the people presents (red long underwear) and a ride on his train. At the end, Mr. Grumpus yells "Happy Holidays!" while everyone is wearing long underwear and riding his train.

Post-Show Skit[]
Wubbzy is at the Wubb Club and wants to go outside in the snow, but every time he gets to the door, one of his friends stops him to to put on more winter clothes. By the time he makes it outside, he looks like an overstuffed bear.
The Jukebox Robot comes out. Wubbzy's two guesses are: "Is it bouncy-bounce time?" while he bounces on his tail; and "Is it squirrel time?" while a squirrel on his tail chatters. Then the song "The Wubbzy Wiggle" is played.
