Ghost-o-Gram
The story opens on a quiet, snow-covered Christmas Eve with a voice-over narration about Sesame Street and what a wonderful place it is at Christmas time. As the narrator talks, clips from past Sesame Street Christmas specials are shown (the opening from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays!, and a scene from Elmo Saves Christmas). A Muppet named Joe Marley of "Scaredy-Pants Delivery Service" comes down the street to deliver a "ghost-o-gram" to Oscar.
Rhubarb the Grouch
The ghost-o-gram consists of an old, empty can of baked beans and a card on which is written a rhyme that Oscar must read aloud to summon Rhubarb, the Grouch ghost of Christmas Past. Rhubarb shows Oscar some old home movies of Christmases past. The first is The Gift of the Magi starring Bert and Ernie (showing the pair's subplot from Christmas Eve on Sesame Street). The next home movie features Big Bird from Elmo Saves Christmas singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
Christmas Carole
Oscar soon finds himself visited by Christmas Carole, the perky Ghost of Christmas Present whose body and attire are shaped like a Christmas tree. Carole shows Oscar the glory of Christmas in the now and that Christmas is more than just decorations and Christmas trees. She shows four clips representing the present, including Elmo and Santa Claus from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays; Elmo and Lightning singing "Every Day Can't Be Christmas" from Elmo Saves Christmas; Elmo talking with kids about how they celebrate Hanukkah and Kwanzaa from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays; and "Keep Christmas with You" from Elmo Saves Christmas.
