Plot[]
The episode starts with Tom sleeping indoors. However, Jerry's playing a video game (Pong Game) that is disturbing his sleep. At one point, his eyes track the ball in the videogame. So Tom rings the doorbell. Jerry marches over to the door before Tom shuts him out. Tom locks the door before Jerry starts angrily knocking on the door. Tom rubs his hands together and giggles. Jerry rubs off some of the frost on the window and shivers. The cat is sleeping, so the mouse scratches the window. Tom springs up before he sees Jerry chuckle. The cat shuts the curtains and nods. Transition to Tom napping. A letter comes in through the letterbox. Tom picks it up but Jerry emerges from it and chucks a tomato at Tom's face. So Tom chases Jerry. The cat then sees something shivering, and he thinks it is Jerry. Tom comes along and stamps multiple mouse holes on the wall, then whistles. The mouse falls for the trick and dashes out from his hiding place. When he first crashes into the mouse hole, he widens his eyes and looks at Tom, who feigns minding his own business. He keeps on crashing into the fake mouseholes. He glares at his sight before seeing Tom stroll towards him. So Jerry runs to the real mouse hole. The mouse blows a raspberry at Tom but the cunning cat cleverly pulls the mouse hole from its place and chucks Jerry in the snow. The moue folds his arms and glares. Tom naps but hears the doorbell. The annoyed cat answers it and receives a package of bone china that is fragile (as said by the delivery man.). Tom had enough of his talk and kicks the door shut. Jerry (seen through the window) looks pleased. Tom thinks Jerry is in the package but carelessly stomps on the package. Jerry whistles at Tom who looks at the window and notices what he's done. Tom cries as he pulls out part of the contents of the package. Tom's nap gets disturbed again and he looks out of the window. His sight is 3 animal children laughing at Jerry's snowman of Tom. He chucks the coal at one of the eyes to finish it off before bowing at the children, who applaud. Tom rushes out of the house and Jerry and the children abandon the snowman. The cat uses a shovel to sculpture it into a Jerry shaped snowman. The children laugh and applaud. Tom takes a bow but sees that Jerry has shut him out. Annoyed, Tom puts the shovel in the snow, pulls the doorknob and knocks on the window but Jerry was at the fireplace roasting marshmallows. Tom shivers and scratches his claw on the window but Jerry has marshmallows in his ears to drown it out. Tom facepalms and flops down. Jerry walks up to the door, takes the key off the hole and puts it around his neck. However, Tom looks through the mailslot, sees Jerry resting on his green pillow with they key, gets out a magnet and the force brings them over the mailslot. Tom throws Jerry in the snow yet again while heading back inside and holding the key. Jerry blows a raspberry and scowls.
Now, Tom is sleeping by the fireplace once more until he hears sawing noises, looks through the window to see Jerry on the beach, grabs his stuff and joins him but it was acutally just a scenery board which falls on him and Jerry manages to get back in the house again. Luckily, Tom climbs up to the roof, drops an avalanche of snow down the chimney and Jerry gets flown out of the house much to his chargin while Tom jumps down the chimney. Jerry heads to the window and sees that Tom has boarded up the fireplace. Just then, Tom voices a "Ho-Ho-Ho" voice but he thinks it is Jerry ringing bells and goes to the window just in case. Tom gets a huge surprise to see Santa Claus and his reindeer in the sky but also sees Jerry riding in the sleigh wearing his hat and waving at him. Tom faints to the floor as Jerry winks to the audience and enjoys his winter ride with the episode fading out.
