Princess Elena's plan to bring everyone together for a Navidad celebration in the park goes awry when the villagers' elaborate floats are destroyed. Elena must remind the people of Avalor about the true spirit of Navidad. Based on an episode from the Disney show Elena of Avalor, this formulaic tale imparts a positive holiday message; the cartoon art resembles the show's Hispanic characters and setting.
