This program finds plans under way in Elwood City for the best holidays ever! Arthur, D.W., and their family and friends are frantically making preparations for the "perfect holiday season," including perfect gifts, perfect parties, and perfect family traditions for Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. But, just as in real life, Arthur soon discovers that perfection is hard to come by and that they joy of the holidays isn't found in an artificial vision of the "perfect" holiday, but in the wonderfully messy, imperfect world he lives in.
