==Plot==
It's Christmas Eve in Atlantica, and Flounder tells Ariel what he likes about the holiday. Fernie and Lucia mention what they like about the holiday. Flounder states that he never forgets to write Santa a Christmas letter regarding what he wants, and this year, he asked for the best thing, which is a secret. However, Ariel sees the red, sparkly envelope, and Flounder realizes that he forgot to send it. Ariel and her friends decide to get the letter to Santa today, and they go to Ravi's juice stand so they can put the letter in the Santa mailbox.
Flounder then sees the mailbox empty, as Marla the Mailfish left with all of the Santa letters, and is on her way to Santa's Mail Station for Santa's Mer-Elves to pick them up. Ravi mentions the directions Marla takes to get there, which includes the Candy Cane Current, and only Santa and his Christmas narwhals and mailfish are fast enough to swim through it.
Ariel and her friends then decide to catch Marla the Mailfish before she gets to the current. After Flounder mentions the Christmas narwhals, Ariel decides for Lucia to make them swim as fast as narwhals, but she makes a shell a magic seashell sleigh. Next, Lucia makes Gabi and Gigi Christmas narwhals to pull the sleigh to Candy Cane Current.
Ariel and her friends eventually make it to the current, and once they get through, they make it to Santa's mailbox. Flounder is delighted by what he sees, and introduces himself to Marla and mentions what happened regarding the letter. Flounder then gives the letter to Marla, who states that Santa's Mer-Elves already picked the letters up. Ariel, Fernie, and Lucia are sorry for Flounder. Ariel then picks up the letter, and Flounder tells Ariel that he asked Santa for a great big Christmas adventure with his friends, one they've never had before. The others say it is so sweet, and Flounder states that his favorite thing to do is spend time with them. He thought asking Santa for a big Christmas adventure with them would be a lot of fun. An example is the one they just had. Flounder states that he did go on the Christmas adventure, and he did get the Christmas wish early. He concludes that he must have been a good angelfish all year. Just then, Santa Mer-Claus arrives, wishing everyone a merry Christmas.
