The forty-third episode of TaleSpin.
To convince Molly that Santa Claus is real, Baloo flies her to the North Pole to deliver her letter to Santa in person by having Louie pose as Santa and his nightclub pose as the North Pole. What neither of them know is that all Molly wants for Christmas is for it to snow in Cape Suzette. Meanwhile, Don Karnage and his Air Pirates try to steal Christmas presents.
