(The tree is apparently alive before Heffer cuts it down.) At the mall, Spunky wants to sit on Fruitcakeman's lap, but Rocko tells him the line is too long. Rocko purchases a tree from Heffer and Filburt, who are working as salesmen. The elf is shy and initially runs away, but then secretly follows Rocko. Along the way, he encounters an elf who is one of the new neighbors he tells the little guy that he's welcome to the party. After delivering the invitations, he goes to the mall for supplies. After some hesitation, Rocko gladly allows them to. Rocko invites Heffer and Filburt, but they end up inviting their families and friends.

Ed notices the moving van and tells Bev that he won't tolerate the new neighbors. His wife Bev tells him to lighten up and enjoy Christmas for once. Meanwhile, Rocko's grouchy neighbor, Ed Bighead, is glad that there isn't going to be any snow. This inspires Rocko to go buy some Christmas decorations and invite his friends Heffer and Filburt for a Christmas party, and he assures his dog Spunky that it will be the best Christmas ever - at which point it starts raining. As Rocko recovers from that, he suddenly notices a moving van loaded with Christmas decorations. He brings his sled out, but the anthropomorphic cloud above his house can only produce one flake, which hits him in the eye.
