[Bright, upbeat music]

TIMBER: Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh. Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.

ALL: Ha, ha, ha

TIMBER: Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright. What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

DESCRIPTION: In a montage, cookie-cutter horses dance, and the three Treebees pop out of an Advent calendar. They are ringing bells in their hands, then they are back on the sleigh.

ALL: Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells. Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells! Jingle all the way. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh

DESCRIPTION: Timber, Millie, and Zo ride over snowy hills under a blue sky. Their horse stops to smile at a red-nosed reindeer, who gives them a Christmas card.

DESCRIPTION: The red-nosed reindeer shakes Millie’s hand and smiles. He gets into the sleigh. In a montage, a cookie-cutter reindeer rides a sleigh, then he and the Treebees ring bells and sing in the sleigh. The Treebees pop out of an Advent calendar and sing.

DESCRIPTION: The Treebees glide over the snow to a cabin. The cabin has smoke rising from the chimney and a wreath over the door—the red-nosed reindeer waves goodbye to the Treebees.

ALL: That red nose deer with us. We rode the whole day through. Until we did arrive where he was going to. T'was here we dropped him off, and then we took a pause. For waving thanks to us, the one and only Santa Claus

DESCRIPTION: Santa Claus, wearing a red and white coat and hat and a brown belt, puts his arm around the reindeer and waves at the Treebees.
