Plot

Around the time when Huckleberry Hound and his friends Hokey Wolf, Snagglepuss, Quick Draw McGraw, Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy, and Snooper and Blabber visit Jellystone Park for Christmas, they discover Yogi Bear and Boo Boo have escaped from Jellystone and hidden out in a department store, where Yogi is posing as the store's Santa Clause. Along the way, he helps a little girl named Judy Jones to rediscover her faith in Christmas when her father J. Wellington Jones is too busy for her.[2]

Ranger Smith and the others look for Yogi when they learn that he's in the city. Yogi reunites with his friends and helps to look for Judy's father. In his search, Snagglepuss encounters Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble as Street Santas who tell him to ask a passing lady his question. When the old lady screams in fear of Snagglepuss, Fred and Barney attack him claiming it to be an entertainment purpose. Snooper and Blabber try to get assistance from the police. Quick Draw has no luck when Mr. Jinks haven't seen J. Wellington Jones. Pixie and Dixie leave a present for Mr. Jinks which contains a bulldog. Yogi and Boo Boo have no luck when Magilla Gorilla, Wally Gator, and Yakky Doodle haven't seen J. Wellington Jones either.

When J. Wellington Jones hears that his daughter is lost in the city, he calls the police to help find her at the same time Ranger Smith is looking for Yogi and Boo Boo. At the park, Yogi and his friends celebrate Christmas when the police arrive with J. Wellington Jones accusing Yogi Bear of kidnapping his daughter. Ranger Smith also arrives and manages to prevent Yogi's arrest. Afterwards, J. Wellington Jones and Ranger Smith join in on Yogi's Christmas party.
