Sheriff Dan leads a group of carolers while Sniffer, Buddha, Budderball, B-Dawg, Mudbud and Rosebud watch. Sniffer starts to sing along and invites the others to join in, but B-Dawg says he doesn't sing, he raps. Budderball tells Sniffer he is still in trouble for eating the Thanksgiving turkey. Sniffer asks if he is worried Santa Paws won't visit him. Mudbud tells Sniffer, if Santa Paws was real there would be more soot from him coming down the chimney. Rosebud says she also doesn't really believe in Santa Paws, but likes the presents, and Buddha chastises her for never being satisfied with what she has. Sheriff Dan thanks everyone for coming to see the annual lighting of the town Christmas tree and turns on the tree lights. Stan Cruge drives by in his vehicle and the lights on the tree explode. In the morning, Budderball stops and stares at the sweets store and sees Puppy Paws, but is called away by Bartleby. At Livingston Manor, Budderball helps Bartleby decorate the Christmas tree. James the Butler puts the angel on top of the tree and Puppy Paws sneaks into the house. Puppy Paws introduces himself to Budderball and Budderball shows him the kitchen. Puppy Paws eats all the cookies that were being made and James the Butler catches Budderball near the cookie crumbs and he is sent to the dog pen. Budderball takes Puppy Paws to meet his siblings.

Buddha brings Puppy Paws to see his siblings and Rosebud suggests they play hide and seek. They all run away as Puppy Paws is counting down and Puppy Paws overhears them talking about him behind his back and he walks away. Buddha chastises his siblings for blaming Puppy Paws and they admit Puppy Paws isn't responsible for their woes. Budderball brings Eddy the Elf Dog to his siblings and Eddy tells them he needs their help. Rosebud figures out Puppy Paws might be in the pound and they head there. The Buddies and Eddy sneak into the pound and return Puppy Paws' collar and he uses the power of the icicle to open the cage door. Stan returns and Puppy Paws and the Buddies run away while Eddy, Tiny and the other pound dogs charge at Stan and start licking him. Puppy Paws finds Eli and they use the power of the icicle to power up the Santa display sleigh. The Buddies pull the sleigh and return Puppy Paws to the North Pole after flying by the dog pound and Stan. Puppy Paws apologizes to Santa Paws for not understanding how important Christmas was and introduces the Buddies to him. Puppy Paws then introduces the Buddies to Santa Claus. Comet and the other reindeer do a test run, but are still too sick. The Buddies are strapped to the sleigh and B-Dawg's nose turns red. Puppy Paws and the Buddies deliver the presents to all the kids of the world including Mexican Girl. who tells them Feliz Navidad. They go to Mikey's house and find Tiny and she tells him her Christmas wish came true. Puppy Paws uses the power of the icicle to make a giant feast appear on the kitchen table and he thanks Tiny for showing him the true meaning of Christmas. The Great Christmas Icicle regains full power and Santa and Santa Paws pick up Puppy Paws and he is promoted. Puppy Paws says goodbye to the Buddies and he returns to the North Pole with Santa and Santa Paws. The Buddies return to their respective home and are petted by their family.
