Arthur’s Perfect Christmas is an Arthur special. As the residents of Elwood City get ready for Christmas, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, and even “Baxter Day,” they all want their holiday celebrations to be perfect—but just what does that mean?
The special opens with scenes of citizens of Elwood City busy preparing for Christmas, while Pachelbel’s Canon is played in the background on piano. Arthur then sings the first of many of the special’s musical numbers, “Perfect Christmas,” in which he lays out his list of the things he wants in the upcoming Christmas: A large amount of snow. An amazing dinner-turkey and the whole works. A spectacular Christmas tree—most importantly, one without tinsel. Everyone will love the presents he gets for them.
However, things don’t always work out quite as Arthur wanted it to. As the special progresses, a number of other storylines are revealed: D.W. wants a new toy called “Tina the Talking Tabby,” for Christmas and Santa Claus is unable to find it at any store as soon as he gets the letter. So on Christmas morning, D.W. gets a duck called Quackers and throws a big temper tantrum before taking a liking to the duck.
Uncle Fred is going on a trip to Florida, but his car just so happens to break down in Elwood City on the way there. So for the meantime, he and his dog, Rory, are staying at the Reads’ for Christmas. Eventually on Christmas Day, the car is fixed.
The timing of Francine’s family’s celebration of Hanukkah conflicts with that of Muffy’s “holiday extravaganza,” causing her to miss the party. When Muffy states that Hanukkah isn’t as important as Christmas, Francine stops speaking to her and calling her. Eventually, she and Muffy made up.
And ever since Buster’s parents got divorced, Christmas has been a difficult time for him and his Mom. She wakes him up early on the days before Christmas and makes him pancakes, thinking that it’s Christmas Day. Then he has to explain to her that it isn’t Christmas yet. While Arthur, Buster, and their friends are at the party, they suggest he create his own holiday, Baxter Day. Buster is unsure, but he agrees to give it a try.
Every Christmas, Binky volunteers at a homeless shelter with his Dad, and this year, he’s trying to bake something special to bring. However, he’s forgetting some things in every recipe, like not removing the shells of the pecans when he makes pecan pie, unpeeling the bananas when he makes banana bread, and adding sugar when he makes brownies.
Meanwhile, Brain’s family is celebrating Kwanzaa. George’s family is revealed to be Swedish and they celebrate Saint Lucia Day. In the end, things don’t work out quite as everybody may have hoped they would, but it seems to be for the better - well, maybe, assuming Arthur can ever get D.W. to stop her new toy, “Quackers”, from singing “Quick, quack, quaddy-quack.”
