Join Scooby-Doo and the gang for a frightfully good Christmas special! Scared out of their wits by all that they've seen, Scooby and Shaggy make a wish

earth because Mystery, Inc. isn't there to stop them! But that's not all - when Shaggy impersonates Santa Claus, he finds himself being captured by a group
of rotten little elves! Sure to be a holiday hit.
