Belle and Adam are throwing a Christmas party for everybody. Chip is amazed as Mrs. Potts recounts how Christmas returned to the castle. The movie flashbacks to when Belle first arrived. Christmas is coming and Belle wants to set up but the Beast refuses. Maestro Forte manipulates the Beast stoking his anger at Christmas and Belle. Belle organizes the servants to decorate the castle. It is revealed that everybody was cursed when Adam refuses to give an old beggar lady shelter during a Christmas snowstorm.
This is a straight to video movie following the classic. Many of the actors returned to contribute their voices. The animation is a little inferior and Forte's CGI is noticeably out of place. Forte's big climatic ending is good visual dramatic. There are a couple of nice new songs but nothing quite as catchy. This is a definite step down from the classic but is still better than most animated video of its time.
