History WesternAnimation / YogisFirstChristmas

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Ranger Smith. He does want to send Yogi back to his cave and is a little trigger happy about doing so but won't act without justifiable cause and relents when evidence winds up being false.

* DisContinuity: Yogi and Boo Boo both appeared in ''WesternAnimation/CaspersFirstChristmas'' the year before, so this can not possibly be their "first" Christmas. The opening song "Coming Up Christmas" is even reused from the previous special (see PlotHole below). It's possible that this movie is a prequel to ''Casper's First Christmas'', though.

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: This ChristmasSpecial, produced by Creator/HannaBarbera and first aired in syndication in 1980, details the first time that WesternAnimation/YogiBear ever celebrated Christmas.

* TheGrinch: Herman the Hermit.

* PlotHole: Boo-Boo can be heard singing during the opening song even though at that point he's still hibernating with Yogi. This being really strange due to the fact the song was returning from ''WesternAnimation/CaspersFirstChristmas'' but has Doggie Daddy now singing Quick Draw's lines yet doesn't have someone else sing Boo Boo's lines.

* SantaClaus: Of course he shows up, did you think he's miss Yogi's first?
* VillainSong: Herman the Hermit gets one called "Mean, Sour, Crafty, and Cruel" originally from "Oliver and the Artful Dodger". Snively joins in on the final chorus.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Ranger Smith initially wants to take Yogi back to his cave out of concern that he [Yogi] could cause trouble, which might get the lodge torn down, and relents when proven wrong.

Christmastime has come to Jellystone Park and while Yogi and his buddy, Boo-Boo, hibernate through it, as they do every winter, a group of their friends (made up of WesternAnimation/HuckleberryHound, WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}, WesternAnimation/AugieDoggieAndDoggieDaddy) are brought in by Ranger Smith to spend the annual Christmas Carnival at the Jellystone Lodge. Upon arrival, however, the group find out that this may be the last Christmas they celebrate in the lodge when the manager, Mr. Dingwell, tells them that because of a series of strange occurrences last year, business is virtually nonexistent and the owner of the lodge, Sophie Throckmorton, is likely to sell it so a freeway can be built. A chance at saving the lodge does appear when the gang are informed that Mrs. Throckmorton is coming to stay for the Christmas Carnival and if she enjoys herself she may not sell the lodge.

The group's ensuing revelry manages to wake up Yogi and Boo-Boo from their hibernation, and upon finding out that it's time for Christmas, they decide to stay awake to celebrate. Ranger Smith, fearing that Yogi's antics could ruin efforts to save the lodge, refuses to allow the bears to stay, and chases them down to force them back to their cave. During that time, Yogi saves Mrs. Throckmorton and her bratty nephew, Snively, from an avalanche caused by Herman the Hermit, a Christmas-hating villain character who wants nothing more than to ruin the Christmas Carnival. This act of heroism endears Yogi to Mrs. Throckmorton and keeps Ranger Smith from forcing Yogi back to his cave for risk of upsetting her. So begin Yogi's efforts to celebrate Christmas, but among Herman's sabotage, Snively's pranks, Ranger Smith's eager desire to get rid of Yogi should trouble arise, and his own instincts, will Yogi be able to make it to Christmas?

** Part of ''The Huckleberry Hound Show'' theme song can be heard while Huck does his ski jump attempt.

* MythologyGag: Part of ''The Huckleberry Hound Show'' theme song can be heard while Huck does his ski jump attempt.
** As was also a habit songs from previous Christmas specials returned and in some cases sung by different characters. Also Herman's song is a reworked variation of Sam Sniperly's song from ''Oliver and the Artful Dodger''. Which was probably shameless recycling but then again the two could be related.
