Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas leave the Dragon Realms and the humans revert back to their normal forms while Sora, Donald, and Goofy return to their Gummi ship and Sora reverts back to his form and they continue their journey and they come across Halloween Town and so Ky and Noel use their Keyblades to create their light portal and enter it while the Gummi ship lands in the world.
In Dr. Finkelstein's lab Dr. Finkelstein is examining his experiment and then performs tests on it but then nothing happens.
"There's nothing wrong with my design. It's flawless! There must be something wrong with the parts those imbeciles brought me. I need to find better assistants." Dr. Finkelstein said.
While Dr. Finkelstein is looking at something wrong something starts to move and look around and as Dr. Finkelstein turns around something happens.
(Field Theme: This is Halloween)
(Halloween Town: Hinterlands)
The light portal appears in the hinterlands and Ky, Noel, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas fly out of the light portal which disappears while Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrive and Ky returns to his fallen angel form while Noel returns to her fallen fairy and demon form while Sora is back to being his vampire costume while Donald returns to his mummy form while Goofy returns to his Frankenstein monster form while Elena returns to her witch form while Ken returns to his warlock form while Max returns to his zombie form while Tails returns to his werefox form while Blaze returns to her werecat form while Shadow returns to his werehog form while Storm returns to his mutant mouse form while Grace returns to his mutant fox form while Kiyo and Zatch return to being zombies while Lucky returns to his monstrous dinosaur form while T.J. returns to his undead warrior form while Zuko returns to his undead prince form while Sly returns to his wereraccoon form while Bentley returns to his mad scientist form while Murray returns to his monstrous hippo form while Lucas returns to his masked phantom boy form.
The group look around the hinterlands and they later find presents on the ground and someone comes to pick up the presents and it's Jack Skellington who is wearing his Santa costume.
"Jack?" Sora asked.
"What's he doing?" Ky asked.
"Perfect timing, ladies and gentlemen! Lend me a hand, will you? These presents must belong to Sandy Claws. I'd thought I should return them." Jack said as he makes his way for Christmas Town.
"You just happened to find them?" Sora asked.
"Because it sounds like you brought them here." Ky said.
"Oh, come now! I'm finished with Christmas fantasies. You know that." Jack said.
"But you're wearing the Santa costume." Noel said.
"Oh, this? It's just a costume! And Sally worked really hard on this." Jack said.
"Ugh! There's no talking to him." Shadow said.
"Let's just help him already." Zatch said as they follow Jack to Christmas Town.
(Jack Skellington has joined you!)
(Halloween Town: Christmas Town-Santa's House)
In Santa's house the group arrive in Christmas Town and the group return to their Christmas forms and arrive at Santa's house and bring in the presents.
"Oh! Wherever did you find these?" Santa asked.
"In Halloween Town. You'll be needing these for Christmas, right, Sandy?" Jack asked.
"Of course, but these are just a few of the presents that were stolen." Santa said shocking the group.
"Stolen?!" Ky and Sora asked shocked.
"How is that possible?" Sly asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Elena asked as the group look at Jack.
"Sandy, you don't think it's ME?" Jack asked.
"You're still wearing the outfit, I see." Santa said.
"I just thought I'd dress for the occasion. But since you don't believe me, then we'll just have to find out who really did it." Jack said.
"Very well. I'll leave it to you." Santa said.
"Excellent! Sora, Ky, Noel, everyone! We're off!" Jack said.
"Aw, phooey!" Donald said.
"Here we go with present hunting." Zuko said.
Just then a noise it heard.
"Now what?" Max asked.
"It came from the workshop!" Tails said.
"Let's check it out!" Ken said.
(Field Theme: What a Surprise!)
The group make their way for the toy factory.
(Halloween Town: Christmas Town-Toy Factory: Shipping and Receiving)
The group arrive at the toy factory and make their way to the upper part of the factory and enter a different area.
(Halloween Town: Christmas Town-Toy Factory: The Wrapping Room)
The group arrive at the different part of the toy factory and they find Lock, Shock, and Barrel looking at toys.
"No!" Shock yelled.
"This looks good!" Barrel said.
"No!" Shock yelled.
"BORING!" Lock yelled and then finds another toy. "This one?" Lock asked.
"No way!" Barrel said.
"Hey, you little snots!" Ken yelled.
"Lemme guess, you brats took 'em?!" T.J. demanded.
"Took what?!" Shock asked.
"Don't play stupid with us!" Ky yelled.
"You stole the presents, didn't you?!" Jack demanded.
"It only makes sense you three troublemakers did it." Murray said.
"But it wasn't us!" Lock said.
"Buuut…" Barrel stops talking.
"It does sound fun!" Shock said.
"Oh, no…" Noel said.
"You wouldn't…!" Elena said.
"Run for it!" Lock, Shock, and Barrel said as they run.
"Get back here!" Sora yelled.
"Those brats are in trouble now!" Kiyo yelled.
(Boss Theme: Rowdy Rumble)
(Information: Use magic boxes to trap Lock, Shock, and Barrel!)
"Those brats will continue to cause trouble. There are boxes everywhere. If we trap them, then they'll stay still!" Bentley said.
"Good plan. Let's do it." Sora said.
"We'd better knock them out first." Lucas said.
Lock jumps all over and attacks with toys while Shock spins around to attack while Barrel rolls all over the room but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Water while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation and then delivers a flip slash while Sora diagonal slashes with Kingdom Key followed by a leaping slash but Barrel tries to throw toys while Lock jumps around and tries to jump on the group while Shock spin attacks but Donald casts Blizzard while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo but Shock attacks with toys while Barrel rolls around but Elena shoots magic bolts while Ken bashes his guitar but Lock jumps around at the group but Max uses Cyclone while Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Blaze delivers a ballet kick while Shadow multi spin kicks but Barrel rolls around the room while Shock spin attacks but Storm shoots electric shots while Grace uses Bite but Lock attacks with his toys while Barrel rolls around but Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga while Lucky uses Headbutt but Shock attacks with toys while Lock jumps all over but T.J. slashes with his knife while Zuko slashes with his broadswords but Barrel attacks with toys while Lock also attacks with toys but Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley shoots darts while Murray triple punches while Lucas attacks with his stick but Lock jumps all over while Shock spin attacks while Barrel rolls around but Jack attacks with his bone fists and after enough attacks Lock, Shock, and Barrel are now stunned.
"Now's our chance!" Ky said.
Ky, Noel, and Sora go for the three boxes and throw them each at each of the three and they are now trapped.
"That oughta hold 'em!" Sora said.
The group release Lock, Shock, and Barrel from the boxes and they start interrogating them.
"Where'd you three put the presents?" Sora asked.
"We told you! We don't have them!" Shock said.
"Then why are you in here?" Donald asked.
"We're looking for parts for the experiment." Lock answered.
"Experiment?" Jack asked.
"Dr. Finkelstein is making us a friend." Shock said.
"Yeah! One we get to boss around!" Lock said.
"It's true the doctor's been hard at work making SOMETHING lately." Jack said.
"But that doesn't solve the missing present mystery." Noel said.
"Besides, Christmas presents are BORING! They're not scary or gross. What good are they?" Lock asked.
"You wouldn't know." Elena said.
"Whatever! There's nothing fun here! We're going back to Halloween Town." Lock said as he, Shock, and Barrel leave.
"So, the brats didn't do it, but who did?" Zatch asked.
"Dunno." Ken said.
"Let's go talk to Santa." Goofy said.
The group return to Santa and talk to him.
"So, were the pranksters responsible for taking the gifts?" Santa asked.
"It doesn't look like it." Jack answered.
"Then that means…" Santa stops talking.
Just then Sally arrives at the house.
"Sally!" Jack said.
"Thank goodness you're all here." Sally said.
"What happened?" Sora asked.
"The Heartless and the Black Xetis are back in Halloween Town square. I thought you should know." Sally said.
"Well, that means we get an excuse to kick ass." Ken said.
"We better get back to Halloween Town!" Shadow said.
"But what about the gift-napper?" Jack asked.
"Actually…the Heartless and the Black Xetis were playing with some presents when I saw them." Sally said.
"Aha! We have our culprits!" Jack said.
"But why would the Black Xetis and the Heartless play with presents?" Noel asked.
"Who knows, but if they're involved, then nothing can be good." Ky said.
"Let's hurry back to Halloween Town, and settle this!" Max said.
The group leave Santa's house and return outside.
(Halloween Town: Christmas Town-Candy Cane Lane)
The group go through the lane of Christmas Town and later go for the hill.
(Halloween Town: Christmas Town-Yuletide Hill)
The group are in Yuletide Hill and then they find the door and send them back to Halloween Town and they return to the hinterlands and revert back to their Halloween forms and later go for the next area.
(Halloween Town: Graveyard)
The group arrive at the graveyard and make their way back to the town square.
(Halloween Town: Halloween Town Square)
In the town square the Werewolf Black Xetis and Wight Knight Heartless are playing with presents and the Mayor is trying to stop them.
"You! You can't be here! Leave Halloween Town by order of the Mayor!" The Mayor said but nothing. "Somebody, anybody! I'm only an elected official! I can't handle this by myself!" The Mayor said.
Just then the group arrive at the town square and they find the Black Xetis and the Heartless.
"Sally was right!" Jack said.
"Let's take those presents back!" Sora said.
(Battle Theme: Spooks of Halloween Town)
(Information: Retrieve the presents!)
The Black Xetis and the Heartless attack at the group who fight back to strike at the Black Xetis and the Heartless defeating them and making them drop the presents and so the group pick up the presents but more Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack but the group continue to fight and they take more presents until later on the group have retrieved all the presents.
Jack later finds another present and picks up the box while ignoring the toy.
"What a shame! It looks like it was such a nice present." Jack said.
"Wrong thing, bonehead." Ken said.
"Uh, Jack…" Sora stops talking as someone comes out and it's Dr. Finkelstein.
"Oh, help! Someone help me! My latest experiment is gone! It's been stolen!" Dr. Finkelstein said.
"Huh? Just like the presents?" Tails asked.
(Halloween Town: Dr. Finkelstein's Lab)
"Okay, Doc. Just tell what happened." Kiyo said.
"Well, I was just sitting here brainstorming, when all of the sudden, I was attacked! I collapsed, and when I awoke, my experiment was gone." Dr. Finkelstein explained.
"Don't worry, Doctor. We know who took it." Jack said.
"Who?" Dr. Finkelstein asked.
"The Heartless." Sora said.
"And the Black Xetis." Ky said.
"What? Those wretched things? Preposterous! This was nothing like a Heartless or a Black Xeti." Dr. Finkelstein said.
"So, it wasn't them who did it…" Noel said.
"Well, who else could it be?" Lucas asked.
"Say, I have an idea!" Jack said.
"Oh, boy…" T.J. said.
"What's up?" Sly asked.
"The thief must like Christmas presents. So, I say we place irresistible gifts about to draw him into a trap." Jack said.
"And this miscreant is the same one, who stole my experiment?" Dr. Finkelstein asked.
"That's right." Jack said.
"How will we know for sure?" Sora asked.
"Even if we do trap the thief, what then?" Blaze asked.
"That's simple! We'll scare the confession out of him." Jack said.
"Gawrsh…" Goofy said.
"That seems…excessive." Zatch said.
"Let's just stick with Jack's plan…for now, anyway." Ky said.
"We had best get to Sandy's house posthaste! We've got Christmas presents to make." Jack said.
"Let's go." Murray said.
The group arrive back at Christmas Town and they return to Santa's house and talk to him.
"Have you found the presents yet?" Santa asked.
"Almost, Mr. Claws." Jack answered.
"We're gonna try and reel in the thief with Christmas presents as bait." Ky said.
"Would you mind if we used your factory to create some presents?" Jack asked.
"Presents as bait? Goodness. I don't like the sound of that." Santa said.
"Oh…" Noel said.
"But just this once, I suppose. It's for a good cause. Use the second floor, and put some heart into it." Santa said.
"Thank you." Noel said.
The group make their way for the upper factory to make presents and they arrive at the wrapping room again and Ky, Noel, and Sora talk to an elf to allow them to use a machine to make presents and so they start making presents and putting in various toys and later on the three successfully make presents.
"All done!" Donald said.
"Not quite." Jack said.
"Seriously? More?!" Ken asked.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest." Jack said.
The group return to Santa.
"Did you finish making the presents?" Santa asked.
"Yup. Just waiting for Jack." Sora said.
"So, uh, where do ya think we oughta leave 'em?" Goofy asked.
"That's a good question. There has to be a good spot to place them." Tails said.
"Oh, I know a good spot! Whenever you're ready, just say the word." Santa said.
"I'm back!" Jack said.
"Great. We're gonna find a good spot for the presents." Ky said.
"We're all ready, Santa." Sora said.
"Perfect, just follow me." Santa said.
The group go with Santa outside and they go for two big doors.
"This plaza should work well for your plan. Now, Jack, what IS your plan?" Santa asked.
"I've got it all figured out!" Jack said.
"You do?" Santa asked.
"Of course! And I also have a wonderful idea! If we capture the thief for you, I would be honored to deliv…" Jack was cut off by Sora putting his hand on Jack's mouth.
"And that note, we'll be going!" Sora said.
"Yep! We got a mission to complete!" Ky said.
"What are you doing?! Let me go!" Jack mumbled and the group go for the plaza.
(Halloween Town: Christmas Town-Christmas Tree Plaza)
The group are now in what looks like a present box and wait for the thief.
"Stop kicking!" Donald yelled.
"Shut the hell up!" Ken yelled.
"BOTH of you shut up!" Elena yelled.
"It's not me, though!" Goofy said.
"This place is cramped!" Zuko said.
"Patience, friends!" Jack said.
"Shh!" Ky and Sora said.
The group continue to wait in the present.
"I said cut it out!" Donald yelled.
"And I said shut the hell up!" Ken yelled.
"Gawrsh, was that you?" Goofy asked.
"This is ridiculous!" Shadow said.
"How come WE have to be the bait?" Sora asked.
"Good plan, eh?" Jack asked.
"Ow!" Donald yelled.
Later on something enters the plaza and starts taking presents until it later finds the big present and it goes for the big box but as it begins to grab it the box opens revealing the group.
"GOTCHA!" Sora shouted.
"Huh?" Jack asked.
"Don't tell me it's…" Noel stops talking as the group see it's the Experiment of Dr. Finkelstein.
"Dr. Finkelstein's experiment did it!" Jack said.
"That's shocking!" Bentley said.
"We have to take it down!" T.J. said.
"Let's apprehend it!" Blaze said.

"We did it! The mystery is solved!" Jack said.
Just then Santa's sleigh and reindeer come flying down and Santa gets off his sleigh.
"Did you catch the thief?" Santa asked.
"Naturally!" Jack answered.
"Something doesn't make sense…" Noel said.
"Yeah, why would the doctor's experiment go around and steal Christmas presents?" Sora asked.
"His experiment?" Santa asked.
"The thief! It was a moving puppet made by Dr. Finkelstein." Jack said.
"Hmm, the doctor has made a moving puppet." Santa said.
"He's always tinkerin' with things." Goofy said.
"Such a shame we had to destroy his work." Tails said.
"I agree. It would have been made for study." Bentley said.
"Now listen, Jack. I'd like to thank you, and while delivering presents is something only I can do, I can give you an idea of what it's like." Santa said.
"Sandy Claws!" Jack said as he gets on the sleigh.
"I still feel bad for destroying that thing. It didn't seem so bad." Elena said.
"Yes, all this poor puppet wanted was a heart." Santa said.
"Now I feel worse…" Ky said.
"I get the feeling." Sora said.
Jack starts to fly the sleigh.
"Ho, ho, ho!" Jack said while flying on the sleigh.
Later on the group return to the Halloween Town square and talk to Dr. Finkelstein.
"Interesting! So, the puppet wasn't stolen after all! It ran away on its own! In other words, my experiment was an overwhelming success!" Dr. Finkelstein said.
"Santa Claus thinks maybe it left because it was trying to find a heart." Sora said.
"That's quite possible. Unlike my Sally, it wasn't equipped with a heart." Dr. Finkelstein said as he returns to his lab.
"But this still makes no sense. If it wanted a heart so badly, then why was it going around stealing Christmas presents?" Ky asked.
"Maybe because…presents are a way to give your heart something special." Sally said.
"Oh, well, when you put it that way, I feel bad." Noel said.
Just then Jack comes falling from the sky and meets with the group and they then see Santa flying through the sky.
"Happy Halloween!" Santa said as snow starts falling from the sky.
"Snow…? In Halloween Town?" Lucas asked.
"What a nice gift." Sally said.
"I don't understand. There's no box. No ribbon tied to a bow." Jack said.
"Jack, it's not about the box or the ribbons." Noel said.
"Right. It's about what's INSIDE the box." Sora said.
"That's not it either." Noel said.
"Huh?" Sora asked.
"Noel is right. What really counts. What's really special is the act of giving the gift. To wish deep in your heart to make someone else happy." Sally said.
"Of course! Sally, you are right!" Jack said and just then he starts to feel something. "Wait. What's this? I feel strange. So VERY happy!" Jack said.
"Jack, that might be Sally's present." Goofy said.
"Really? This wonderful feeling?" Jack asked. "Oh, Sally! You've given me the nicest present in the world! I've nothing to give you in return. What would you like? You can name anything!" Jack said.
"The nicest present I could ever ask for, Jack, is just to be with you." Sally said.
"Aw, gag me…" Ken said but Elena smacks him.
"Oh, how cute…" Noel said.
"You don't even have to ask for that!" Jack said as he carries Sally and they later start dancing with each other.
"This is so nice." Noel said.
"Yeah. I never even gave her a real present." Sora said.
"Who?" Donald asked.
"Are you talking about Kairi?" Ky asked.
"Oh, I'm sure Kairi would like anythin' you gave her." Goofy said.
"I know. That's what makes it hard to decide." Sora said.
"Sora, it's not the gift. It's what's in your heart. It's what's in all of our hearts." Noel said.
"My heart." Sora said.
"Yes. Kairi could be like Sally." Noel said.
"How?" Sora asked.
"Well, as long as you two are together, what else does she need?" Noel asked.
Sora looks at Jack and Sally dancing and envisions himself and Kairi dancing together and Kairi laughs with joy.
"Hehehe. You're right Noel. By the way, how does it feel to have a birthday on Christmas?" Sora asked.
"Well, I like it, and the greatest gift I've ever gotten is to be with the people I love and care about. I'm sure that's what Luke thought too. He told me that I was his greatest gift." Noel said.
"I'm sure he's not wrong." Ky said.
"Yeah! I mean, you're like his best sister!" Sora said.
Flashback:
A four-year-old Noel is with a six-year-old Luke and they are spending time together.
"Happy birthday, Sis! I can't believe you're four now! You're growing big." Luke said.
"Um, it's just not my day, it's everyone's day to be happy and nice to each other." Noel said.
"Yeah, but still, there's no shame in celebrating your day." Luke said.
"Well, I think you still deserve a present. What did you want for Christmas?" Noel asked.
"I'm looking at her right now!" Luke said.
"Huh?" Noel asked.
"Yep! YOU'RE my present! You've been my present ever since you were part of this family! I've never had a gift as awesome as you, Sis!" Luke said hugging Noel.
"Th-Thank you, Luke." Noel said.
Flashback End.
"He, and everyone else are gifts as well." Noel said.
"And we'll be sure to find him, and Kairi too. You guys just gotta believe, ya know." Ky said.
"You're right about that." Sora said and the group continue to watch Jack and Sally dance with each other.
