The story
When Sid accidentally destroys Manny's heirloom Christmas rock and ends up on Santa's naughty list, he leads a hilarious quest to the North Pole to make things right and ends up making things much worse. Now it's up to Manny and his prehistoric posse to band together and save Christmas for the entire world!
Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas recap
Eight years after Dawn of the Dinosaurs, in this 25-minute TV special, Manny brings out the family's Christmas Rock, an heirloom meant to guide Santa to them. Sid tops the tree with an icy star that flies off and shatters the rock. Manny puts Sid on the "Naughty List" and tells Ellie Santa isn't real; Peaches overhears and is upset. To prove Santa exists and get Sid off the list, Peaches sets out for the North Pole with Sid, Crash and Eddie. They are lost in a whiteout and saved by Prancer, a flying reindeer who joins them. Manny, Ellie and Diego go after them. At the North Pole, an avalanche ruins Santa's workshop, and an angry Santa puts the whole herd on the Naughty List, which convinces Manny he is real.
Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas ending explained
The animals repair the damage and build Santa a sleigh. Santa has more gifts than ever, so Prancer brings in his family, Dasher, Dancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen, to pull it. The herd is moved to the Nice List and Santa takes off into the night.
