Toot & Puddle: I'll Be Home for Christmas
Friendship, sharing, and tradition are part of what make the holidays special, so pig friends Toot and Puddle are determined to spend the Christmas holiday together, even though Toot has been invited to attend his Great-Great Aunt's 100th birthday bash in Scotland on December 22.  Promising to return home to Woodcock Pocket by Christmas Eve, Toot sets off for Edinburgh leaving Puddle at home to meet their cousin Opal and prepare for Christmas.  Toot thoroughly enjoys his Scottish experiences; donning an authentic Scottish kilt, caroling, visiting with this Great-Great Aunt Peggy, and helping his bagpipe-playing Uncle find good homes for a litter of puppies.   Meanwhile, Puddle and Opal enjoy their time together making ornaments, baking, picking out a Christmas tree, and getting everything ready for the big holiday.  When snowstorms hit in Edinburgh and Woodcock Pocket, it looks like Toot may not be able to make it home by Christmas Eve after all.  Can a lucky nut, a little magic, and a mysterious traveler help?  Based on the Holly Hobbie book "Toot & Puddle: I'll Be Home for Christmas," this animated production brings classic Holly Hobbie characters Toot and Puddle to life in an effective Christmas tale that celebrates friendship and togetherness.
