When the zoo closes for the Christmas holiday, the animals gather to begin work on Kidsmas, their annual holiday festivities mainly designed to delight the younger animals. Each animal is assigned a Kidsmas preparation task to perform, but Julien, desiring a different one, rearranges each animals' task.

When Burt gets a hold of Alice's paintbrush, he paints a picture of an elephant with it on a nearly wall to the delight of zoo patrons.
