Dora's Christmas Carol Adventure begins at the North Pole with Santa Claus in his toy factory checking his naughty and nice lists. The elves gather around to hear his story-told in rhyme reminiscent of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas-about how a naughty character learned the true spirit of Christmas. Swiper the Fox assumes the Scrooge role after his attempted theft of Dora's tree ornament, the Christmas Star, lands him in Santa's bad book.
