A cheerful, slapstick-driven holiday special that celebrates friendship and helping others through colorful animal antics and Christmas warmth.

While trapped on the island of Madagascar, the Central Park Zoo escapees receive a visit from Santa--crash landing on their territory and getting amnesia to boot! The animals must help Santa assume his rightful place in the universe, while King Julian laps up the opportunity for his subjects.
