Veronica's new Christmas tree is possessed by a spirit that only Sabrina can see: Obadiah, a powerful warlock who was confined to the tree as punishment for showing off his magic to humans.; After Aunt Hilda tells her that Santa Claus isn't real, Sabrina sets off around the world in search of Santa. When she arrives at the North Pole, she meets the real Santa Claus, whose workshop has shut down due to the world's "lack of faith."; After Della and Aunt Hilda read her the riot act over getting the goody-goody Christmas spirit, Sabrina resolves to do her duty as a witch and resist doing good deeds for people at Christmas. But when she's taken hostage by two bank robbers, she sees the opportunity to do good by doing evil.; Sabrina shows us what the Archie gang would be like as animals. In the animal kingdom, everyone is having fun at Christmas, until Dilton the Owl reminds them that Christmas should be more than just a "make-believe time."; Sabrina turns Hot Dog into a human: a long-haired hippie wearing peace symbols. Ethel promptly falls in love with him.; Sabrina and Aunt Hilda join the Salvation Army and use their magic to get more donations and food for the Sisters. But they learn that there's something the Salvation Army provides poor people that witchcraft can't: "God's love."; Everyone says what's most important about Christmas. They all have materialistic answers except Betty, who says "It's not just a holiday -- it's a holy day!"; Sabrina demonstrates various exercises.; All Sabrina's friends make Christmas wishes, capped by Dilton's wish for mankind to become more religious.; Sabrina offers tips on how to wrap presents in a personalized way.; Sabrina's recipe for popcorn balls.; Sabrina's magic causes Mr. Weatherbee to switch decorations with a tree.
