Bingo and Rolly, couple of puppies

-They bark, chase and chew
-[both barking]

There's a guy named Bob
Who makes up inventions

A couple puppies can use

-But when Bob's away
-See you later, pups!

The pups will play-ay-ay

On a mission 'round the world
Tryin' to save the day

[Bingo/Rolly]
"Elves for a day"

[Bingo] Bow to the wow.

Bob's gonna love our Christmas gift!

Yeah! He'll be like,
"Great gears! This is some classy art."

[Keia] Hey, guys! Check it out!

Joy to the world

My decorations have come

[giggles] Hey, Lollie, how's your
Christmas gift for Ana coming along?

Puptastic. Scra-pow!

It looks just like me.

-See?
-[bells chiming]

-Did you put bells in it?
-That's not Lollie's gift.

Those bells sound a lot like...

[Bingo/Rolly/Keia] Santa!

-You know Santa?
-[chiming continues]

Santa!

-Huh?
-[slow motion screaming]

[Bingo grunts]

-[groans]
-Biscotti?

Sorry if you were expecting Santa.

He sent me here because the North Pole's
having an elf emergency!

On Christmas eve? No.

Oh, yes. This year, there are so many kids
on Santa's "nice list."

-That's good!
-Except...

we elves can't make enough toys
in time for tonight!

Oh, that's bad.

Our toys bring joy to the world,
but if we don't finish in time...

Oh, I can't stand the thought
of how sad those kids will be

if they don't get presents.

There won't be any sad kids
'cause we're gonna help!

What can we do, Biscotti?

I'll let the jolly fella tell you himself.

[all] Santa!

-Hi, Santa. I'm Lollie.
-[Rolly giggles]

Are you water skiing?

[surf music playing]
Sure as sugar cookies!

It's how I relax and get ready
for the big night!

Oh! [splashes]

-The elves can't keep up with making toys.
-Because all the kids on your nice list!

Sadly, he's right as reindeer.

They could use an extra set of hands,
or paws.

It'll be our mission to help get
the Christmas gifts ready for tonight!

h*-h*, deck the halls!

Thank you! Good luck!
I'll see you later tonight!

h*-h*! Over and out!

h*, h*, h*, yeah!

Hop on board, everybody!

-Bow to the wow!
-All right!

-[Bingo] Woo-hoo!
-[pups giggling]

[Rolly] Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good flight!

[Lollie giggles] Oh, Rolly.

[elves chattering anxiously]

All the elves look so worried.

You'd be worried if the joy of kids
all over the world

was in your tiny elf hands!

-[yelps and then chuckles]
-Uh, you'll have to excuse him.

It's his first Christmas and we're behind.

You brought the right pups.
Where we start?

First, you need to look the part!

Puppies in clothes! [chuckles]

It just tickles me.

Now, focus, Biscotti.

Now, there's an elf in each room
that'll need your help.

Keia, you'll be in the toy assembly room,
where we make toys.

I love making things. It's my jam.

Rolly, you'll help
in the toy testing room.

Where we check to make sure
the Christmas toys are working.

We don't want to send broken toys!

Bingo, Lollie, you'll be
in the toy wrapping room.

Let's puppy dog do this!

This goes here. And that goes--

-Oh, fa-la-la.
-Hi.

[screams] Ah! Oh, Keia, You're here.

We have so many toys to make
and so little time!

So we gotta get to makin'--
and fast!

Odds stacked against us?
Just the way Keia likes it.

The purple piece goes
To the fuzzy thing

The fuzzy thing goes
To the other thing

Whoa-h*-h*-h*!
What are you doing?

Making toys. Singing. It's Christmas!
The most joyful time of the year!

Oh! No time for joy this year, Keia.

There are too many toys to build.

Remember, we gotta go fast--
Oh, sugar plums!

If we take our time and have fun,

we can build a toy
without starting over.

[humming]

See?

[magical whirring]

[machinery whirring]

[sighs] All right, Rolly.

Our job is to test all these toys
and make sure they're in tip-top shape.

Playing with toys? [giggles] Fun!

Normally, sure.
But I've tested so many toys today,

I'm all out of fun.

Why don't we test the toys together!
Maybe that'll put some pep in your step.

"I'm Captain Dog!

Did somebody holler
for a hero in a collar?"

[blows]

[groans]

Now you say, "The Bark Knight
always catches the bad guy!"

"The Bark Knight always--"

-[machinery whirring]
-[sighs]

I don't know how we're gonna test
all the toys in time, Rolly. Look at 'em!

[machinery whirring]

It's a lot of toys,
but if anyone can do it, it's us!

[snoring] [mumbling]

[giggles]

[Elf] Oh, sad stockings!
Which do I choose?

I'll never get them wrapped in time!

-We can help!
-Ah! Kringle!

Nope! Lollie and Bingo.

We're here to help get these toys wrapped
for Christmas. Where do we start?

That's the problem!

This is my first Christmas,

and there are so many toys

and so many wrapping paper colors,
I just can't choose!

I have an idea.

When I can't decide which toy to play
with, I close my eyes and point.

-Try that!
-[takes deep breath]

[blubbing]

Okay! Close my eyes...

...and just point!

[Elf] There!

Great color!

Now get to wrappin'!

Yeah! Yeah... [chuckles]

But [stammering] I-- I don't know!

Is this really the right color?

I could go with red or gold or silver
or...

-[elf continues, indistinct]
-If we're gonna finish, better get to it.

Double pup wrapping on the double!

Oh!

[snores]

[snores] [muttering sleepily]

You pups are doing a splendid job
getting gifts ready!

You're practically elves!

Did you hear that?
We're practically elves!

Now, let's see how we're doing!

Ooh-wee!

[whistling drop]

Great Ghost of Christmas Past!

We're still way behind!

Oh, and Santa's almost here!

-[elves groan]
-We've never had to make so many toys.

Maybe we should just give up!

We can't give up! Think of all the kids
that won't get their toys!

Yeah! We're supposed to bring joy
to the world!

-That's it!
-What's it, Bingo?

Everyone here has been so worried
about getting the toys made

we've lost sight
of what Christmas is about!

I mean, you said it yourself, Biscotti.

Christmas elves help bring joy.

Up until this very moment, yeah.

You can't bring joy to the world
if you don't have it in your hearts first.

If you make toys with love,
kids who get them will love 'em too!

[music plays]

It's Christmas time

And let's all try to remember

All the joy and the happiness

Everybody feels

Spending Christmas morning together

It's hard work getting ready, I know

But just remember the purpose
It's all gonna be worth it

When they're opening their presents
And playing in the snow

Oh, that's the joy

Of Christmas

Let's remember the joy

Of Christmas

It's easy to forget
When you're rushing to get ready

But remember there's no doubt
What this holiday's about

Oh, that's the joy

Of Christmas

Remember the joy

Of Christmas

Of Christmas

Feel the Joy of Christmas

Oh, it's a Christmas miracle!

That's our last gift!

[all cheering]

Christmas!

We couldn't have done it without you pups
helping us to remember our Christmas joy!

[Santa] h*, h*, h*!

h*, h*, h*!

[all] Santa!

Great gumdrops! Look at all those toys!

Thanks to you, kids all over the world
will be filled with joy!

And I especially want
to thank my honorary elves

for lending a paw
when we needed it most.

Anytime, Santa!

Happy to help! Christmas boops!

Oh-h*, h*, h*!

Well, I'll be!
It is like a bowl full of jelly!

Now, let's get you back
to Puppy Playcare.

-Thanks for the ride, Santa!
-You're so welcome.

-Time to deliver some Christmas gifts!
-[rein cracks]

[Santa] h*, h*, h*! Merry Christmas!

Let's put our gift for Bob under
the Playcare Christmas tree!

[Bob] Hey, puppy pals!

[barking]

You pups ready to go home
and wait for Santa?

Oh, what's this?

Is this for me?

-We made it!
-Open it!

Great joyful Christmas gears!
[chuckles]

This'll look great hanging up
in my Puppy Playcare workshop!

We got every Christmas gift made today,
even Bob's!

Joy to the world and also to Bob!

-That's what we call a--
-Joyful mission accomplished, everyone!

Merry Christmas, puppy pals!

[Santa] h*, h*, h*! Merry Christmas!

[Bingo/Rolly]
"The Dreidel Dilemma"

[both laughing]

So cold!

Is running warming you up?

Nah, now I'm just cold and tired.

I bet Keia and Cagey are warm!

Why? Is it warmer in their yard?

[laughs] No, Rolly,
they're in Florida, remember?

It's way warmer in Florida.

Yeah! Chloe's family is visiting
her grandparents for Hanukkah!

What a place to celebrate.

Eight warm nights
for the festival of lights.

-Yeah, and I bet Keia's having a blast.
-[both yelp]

Hanukkah emergency!

There's a big problem
with our celebration preparation!

What's wrong? Not enough candles?

Out of apple sauce
for the holiday potato pancakes?

It's worse, we don't have the dreidel!

-[gasps]
-Not the dreidel!

-What's a dreidel?
-No idea.

ARF knows!

A dreidel is a spinny top toy
that families play with

during the holiday of Hanukkah.

Right, ARF. And this year,
Chloe made a dreidel out of clay

as a special present
for her Bubbe and Zayde.

Oh, who are Bubbe and Zayde?
They sound fun!

That's what Chloe calls
Grandma and Grandpa.

Chloe loves playing games
with her Bubbe and Zayde.

She made them a dreidel
as a Hanukkah present.

[laughing]

Wait till you see what I brought you!

And she's gonna give it to them tonight,
the last night of Hanukkah!

Aw, I bet they'll love it!

But I just realized Chloe forgot
the dreidel at home!

That's the emergency!

Don't worry, Keia, we'll bring the dreidel
to you in Florida.

It'll be our Hanukkah mission!

Really? Oh, thank you!

Yeah! You guys are the best!

-Hi, Cagey!
-Happy Hanukkah!

I just hope you can make it in time.

They light the candles at sundown.

And Chloe's family always plays dreidel
right after that.

We're on our way! Over and out!

Come on, Rolly,
let's go find that dreidel!

On your bark! Get ready!
Got a lot to do!

It's gonna be an adventure!

We're super duper extra overly excited

To be going on a mission
Going on a mission

Five, four, three, two, one...

-[Bingo] Hey!
-[Rolly] Gimel!

Let's go! Ba-ba ba-ba-ba-ba

We're going on a mission
Going on a mission

- Ba-ba ba
-[Bingo/Rolly] Yay!

We're going on a mission
Going on a mission!

[both laughing]

Now, to find that dreidel for Chloe!

[rattling] Uh-oh. It's locked.

[fluttering]

-Strawberry!
-[squeaks]

Huh? We're allowed to go into Keia's house
'cause she asked us to!

Why aren't you in Florida?

Oh, you didn't want to miss
Bookworm's book club.

Wait, Strawberry... You live here!
Can you let us in?

Keia asked us to get something for Chloe.

[rattling]

[clattering] [crashing]

-[Strawberry squeaks]
-Oh, no! I'll help you, Strawberry!

So... I just realized there's a--

A doggie door. Yeah.

We forgot about the doggie door.
Thanks anyway!

[squeaks]

Dreidel? Huh? Nope.

No dreidel here.

Pretend we're Chloe packing for a trip,
we can figure out where she left it.

Oh, role play!

"I'm Chloe, and I need
to pack my toothbrush

'cause I have lots of people teeth!"
[gasps] I'll check the bathroom!

"I'm Chloe, and I need to pack
my people-shirts and people-pants."

[gasps] I'll check Chloe's room!

-No dreidel in the bathroom.
-No dreidel in the closet.

-No dreidel in the refrigerator.
-Why would there be?

If you're goin' on a trip,
you gotta pack snacks!

Bingo, look! What's that?

The dreidel! Chloe must have been waiting
for the paint to dry and forgot it.

Good puppy-eye, Rolly!

-Come on!
-[whirring]

We have a dreidel to deliver! Woo!

Florida, here we come!

We'll get this dreidel
to Florida in no time.

-[airplane tires squeal]
-We landed!

I can't wait to see Florida sunshine
and Florida palm trees and... snow?

I don't remember any snow in Florida.

We're not in Florida yet, Rolly.

The plane is picking up more people.

-[attendant] For those going to Florida--
-That's us!

...I have some bad news.

There's a big snowstorm coming and
we can't fly to Florida until it clears.

[both gasp]

Y'all have to get off the plane,
and we'll try to fly to Florida tomorrow.

Tomorrow?
But Hanukkah will be over by then!

We need to go so Chloe can
give her present to her grandpresents--

I mean, grandparents!

[giggles] Oh, Rolly.

Come on, Rolly!
We've got a long way to go.

[shivers]

It's even colder and snowier here
than it was at home.

We gotta find another way
to get to Florida.

If we left on time,
we'd already be in Florida!

-[both] Florida!
-I've been ready since Fall.

-[Bingo] Excuse us.
-[screams]

Sorry, but did you say
you're going to Florida?

Yes, honey-pups.

We're a little late for our migration,
but we're about to fly South to Florida.

We geese fly down there every year
when the weather gets too cold.

Any chance we can come?

No. We'll be flying. Dogs can't fly.

-But a dog with a jetpack can.
-Mine's a helicopter.

[whirrs]

Okay, then. But no flying all willy-nilly.

Stay in the "V" formation.

The front of the "V"
is the windiest spot.

It'll be rough up there,
what with the snowstorm,

so Marv and I will take turns leading.

-Aye-aye!
-Lead the way!

[Rolly] I'm flying! [grunts]

[geese honking]

Florida, here we come!

[honking]

[mimicking honking]

[giggles] Being a goose is fun!

Oh! [grunts] Oh...

[shivers] Being a goose is cold.

Can't see where I'm going
with all this snow in my face.

[spits] Pah!

Switch!

[grunts] I can't see either.

[honks] We have to make
an emergency landing! [blubbers]

No! If we land now,
we'll fail our Hanukkah mission!

There's a puppy and a guinea pig and a kid
and a Bubbe and a Zayde counting on us!

I only heard a third of that,
but it sounded important.

And we do want to help,
but we can't see to lead the "V"!

Then it's time for Bingo
to do his thing-o!

I'll lead! Just direct me.

[music plays]

It's the last night of Hanukkah
And we gotta get

This package all the way
Through the storm

Our friend Keia really needs us

To get this dreidel back to her

The best part of the holidays

Is smiles on your friends and family

That's why we'll do
Whatever we gotta

To give all the ones that we love

A happy Hanukkah, yeah

Chloe made this dreidel
For her Bubbe and Zayde

That's a nice grand-daughterly move

And Keia and Cagey want
To see Chloe happy

Our mission to see it through
The best part of the holiday

Is seeing smiles
On your friends and your family

That's why we'll do
Whatever we gotta

To give all the ones that we love
A happy Hanukkah

Give all the ones that we love
A happy Hanukkah, yeah!

Finally, Florida!

[kissing then spitting]

We made it, Marv.

[sighs] And next year,
we'll leave earlier.

You know, we say that every year.

[chuckles] That we do.

-Thanks for helping us get here!
-Thank you!

It was a wonderful journey.

-See ya!
-So long, pups.

Hmm... Florida has plenty of palm trees,
but it's not as sunny as I remember.

Yeah. [gasps]
That's 'cause the sun went down!

And that means...

They're lighting the candles!
I repeat: Lighting the candles!

And that means they're about
to play dreidel!

But we just landed!
We'll never find you in time!

[groans]

-Oh! We found you. Turn around!
-Bingo! Rolly!

You're here! [laughs]

-And you're just in time!
-[whirring]

I'll bring Chloe the dreidel!

Thanks, guys.
You're the best friends a puppy--

-And a guinea pig--
-...could ask for.

[barks]

Oh, I was just gonna get that!

You must have pulled it out
of my suitcase for me. Thanks, Keia!

Bubbe. Zayde.

When I was little,
you taught me to play dreidel.

So I made this gift especially for you!

Happy Hanukkah!

Oh, thank you, honey!

What a thoughtful present!

And I have something for you, too.

It's the dreidel my grandmother had
when she moved to America.

She gave it to me when I was your age.

Now you'll have my special dreidel,

and I'll have yours.

I love you, Bubbe.

[all] Happy Hanukkah.

-[whirring]
-Ah, it's good to be home.

-Yeah. But it's still colder than Florida.
-[shivers]

[Keia] You guys!

Uh-oh. Did Chloe forget
something else at home?

[giggles] No.

I just wanted to thank you for giving
the best Hanukkah present ever.

-You're welcome!
-What did we give you?

This.

-[all cheer]
-[Cagey chuckles] A happy Chloe.

Best Hanukkah present ever.

Looks like a Hanukkah
mission accomplished.

High paw, brother.

Happy Hanukkah, Keia!
Happy Hanukkah, Cagey!

[all] Happy Hanukkah!

Hmm, too bad we don't have
a dreidel to play with, too!

ARF can spin like a dreidel!

Watch ARF go!

-[Bingo/Rolly giggling]
-[ARF] Happy Hanukkah!
