Plot synopsis

The scene of the party with the following characters: Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Link, Toad, Mega Man, and Pit

At the beginning of the comic, Princess Toadstool, Mario, and Luigi can be seen doing their Christmas shopping, the latter two carrying all the presents. Mario complains about this, to which Toadstool replies that the first one who brings the presents into the house gets kissed by her. Suddenly, both Mario and Luigi try to get in as fast as possible, resulting in them stumbling and dropping all the Christmas presents. This makes Toadstool cancel her promise. In the following, Mario and Luigi can be seen doing the vacuuming and preparing the Christmas tree. The work is scarcely done, when the doorbell rings and their guests come, namely Toad, Yoshi, Link, Mega Man, and Pit. They are enjoying their party when Mario exits the house without saying what he is planning to do. Sometime after this, the doorbell rings again. Toad, with the help of Yoshi, opens the door, and someone who is dressed like Santa Claus and looks like Mario comes in. Toad and Yoshi believe it is actually Santa, whereas Luigi and Link claim to have seen through Mario's "trick." The Santa-like dressed man is just about to get the presents out of his bag, when Mario enters the room, asking whether he missed something. With Link and Luigi having assumed that Mario was the one to dress like Santa, Link, Luigi, Toadstool, Yoshi, and Toad are perplexed to see both at the same time.
