When Donald Duck chops a Christmas tree, the inquisitive chipmunks Chip and Dale follow and see him decorate it with nuts and sweets. So they sneak in his home, determined to 'harvest' it all, using the toys for the Duck nephews, as if Christmas came early for them, so to say. Donald puts up an equally 'playful' yet grim defense, so it all rapidly escalates into a bitter miniature two-to-one-giant war over the Christmas-treats.
Editor's Verdict
"The entire plot revolves around the conflict over Christmas decorations (treats on the tree) that Chip 'n Dale believe are early Christmas gifts. The setting, iconography, and core conflict are fundamentally tied to the holiday, making it a clear Christmas short."
