[2] Two days before Christmas, Christopher Robin writes out a letter to Santa Claus for him and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood, asking for presents; Rabbit wants a new fly swatter to stop bugs from eating carrots; Eeyore wants an umbrella to keep the snow off his house; Tigger wants a snowshoe for his tail so he can bounce on the snow without his hands and feet; Christopher Robin wants a sled "big enough for him and maybe a friend or two"; and Piglet says that Santa Claus can bring him anything.

Knowing that the rest of the gang will not get their presents as a result of this, Pooh tells Piglet they must take it into their hands to make sure the gifts are delivered.

The special was then accompanied by the Donald Duck cartoons The Hockey Champ and Bearly Asleep, as well as a promo for Beauty and the Beast.

The special was accompanied the following year by a promo for Walt Disney Fairy Tales and The Making of The Muppet Christmas Carol.

The edited 2007 version aired on ABC Family (now Freeform), as part of their "25 Days of Christmas" im December 2008.

However, Christopher Robin's lines are re-dubbed by his voice actor in the film's main story, and Rabbit's animation is recolored to have him in his usual yellow-furred appearance (as opposed to his greenish fur in the New Adventures series).
