==Plot==
Flounder tells Ariel that he loves the holidays and holiday snacks. As they eat the snacks, Alanna and Ayanna arrive with their old toys, which they're taking to the holiday donation drive happening at the open market today. King Triton mentions what it is, and Alanna and Ayanna give away some of their toys to other kids every holiday, as it makes them happy. Ariel decides to do so. Flounder then decides to donate some of his toys that he doesn't play with anymore.
Triton then creates a green box for Ariel and Flounder to put to donate to something else and a red box for toys they want to keep. Flounder decides to give away some blocks, and Ariel decides to keep her doll and a few other toys. Since the red box is full, Ariel decides to donate a few toys before she and Flounder play in the garden. Sebastian then comes to take both boxes to the donation drive, meaning he donated all of the toys Ariel wanted to keep. Ariel and Flounder eventually notice this, and decide to go to the market to explain what happened.
At the market, Fernie and Lucia bring Ravi some toys to donate. Ariel and Flounder tell Ravi what happened, and he states that mix-ups happen. Lucia notices a lot of boxes in the market, as Atlanticans were feeling extra with their giving this year. Fernie and Lucia decide to join in on the search. So far, they have no luck. Ariel also saves Flounder from being donated. Ravi states that somebody must have already picked the donation box up, and tells Ariel and her friends to hurry to find them in the market and explain the mix-up.
Ariel and her friends find a lot of boxes, and decide to split up to find the red box with a seashell. Ariel then arrives for Alanna and Ayanna's holiday song, followed by Fernie, Lucia, and Flounder. After they perform it, Ariel notices the box of toys, and she and Flounder go to get it. Triton tells Ravi what's going on. Eventually, Ariel sees the donator returning to her daughter so she can play with the toys. Ariel is happy the daughter is having fun with the toys, and states that giving her toys to someone else made them happy. Ariel tells Triton that everything is absolutely perfect, and everyone wishes each other happy holidays before going home. The daughter and the donator agree that this is their favorite Christmas ever.
