A Magic Kingdom Yuletide Special

A Magic Kingdom Yuletide Special is a half-hour Christmas special that originally aired on The Disney Channel in 1985. It is loosely based on Mickey's Christmas Carol and is a televised version of "The Magic of Christmas", a stage show at Disneyland which was performed on the stage at Videopolis.
==Synopsis==
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and the rest of their friends are celebrating the holidays. Unfortunately, Scrooge McDuck is not exactly in the celebratory mood, so Mickey and the gang attempt to change his mind about the magic of Christmas while celebrating the season.
Mickey and Minnie ice skate, with Frosty the Snowman joining the fun, though Scrooge is still unimpressed. Everyone then visits Santa's workshop, where the Seven Dwarfs work as Santa Claus's helpers and it eventually winds up leading to the Nutcracker dance, performed by Baloo, Br'er Bear and Liver Lips. The trip to the workshop ends with an encounter with a very familiar-looking Santa, played by Goofy. Santa/Goofy talks about his favorite day of the year (Christmas), but Scrooge attempts to muscle in and speak about his favorite day (payday).
Mickey and friends eventually do manage to convince Scrooge to enjoy the spirit of Christmas by giving Scrooge a gift. He is reluctant at first, but takes it anyway, after which he feels so much more festive.
