Christmas is just around the corner, and the zoo animals want to exchange gifts! Ignaz Peppermint the hedgehog, Director Ungestüm, and the others are pondering: What could be the perfect gift? Ignaz decides to give the giraffe his bow tie. The giraffe would love to admire herself in the mirror with it, but unfortunately, she just gifted it to the hippopotamus. The hippopotamus, in turn, gave her lipstick to the chameleon because she loves to paint. And so it goes on... Luckily, Ignaz knows a solution! In the end, everyone comes together for the big celebration and simply shares their gifts with one another. Because shared joy is the greatest joy—especially at Christmas!.
