As she prepares for the holiday with the enchanted inhabitants, including Lumière, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, and Chip, the castle is still under the enchantress's spell. Belle's optimism and affection for the Beast begin to melt his cold exterior, but not everyone is eager to celebrate. Forte, the castle’s pipe organ who wishes to keep the Beast isolated and miserable, plots to sabotage Belle's efforts and prevent Christmas from happening.
Forte's loyal minion, Fife, aids him in attempting to thwart Belle’s plans, creating chaos and conflict within the castle. Despite many setbacks, Belle’s determination and kindness slowly transform the hearts of everyone involved. Unbeknownst to her, this holiday season not only brings the possibility of a joyful Christmas but also the potential to deepen the bond between Belle and the Beast, leading to unforeseen consequences that could change their lives forever.
