[Our Christmas special begins with Dora and Boots sitting in Dora's Christmas-decorated living room.]
[Screen zooms in to them]
¡Hola, Dora! Hello, Boots! What's up?
Dora explains that it’s Christmas Eve
and Santa is coming to deliver
She has a question for you: "Do YOU like presents?"
Feel free to tell them your thoughts!
"I have a present for YOU, Dora!" said Boots.
"It has rainbow wrapping paper."
Can you find Dora's present? It has a green ribbon.
What do you think she'll get?
"¡Una flauta!" (A flute!)
(Plays "Feliz Navidad" on the flute)
"Ooh! That's pretty, Dora."
It's the box with stars on it!"
Can you find Boots' present? It has a blue ribbon.
"¡Feliz Navidad, Boots!" (Hey! That's "Merry Christmas" in Spanish!)
(Maybe ANOTHER musical instrument?)
"And we have ANOTHER present!" (Who's it for?)
"It's a present for Santa!" (How nice!)
Do you see Santa's present? It has a picture of Santa on it.
"Santa's always giving us presents,
so we thought we'd give one to him!" Boots explained to the viewer.
"We're gonna wake up for Santa
so we can give him his present!" Dora added.
to see Santa!" said Boots.
Here comes Mami and Papi!
while you wait for Santa," said Mami.
"Feliz Navidad, Dora," said Papi.
"Merry Christmas, Boots."
Good night, Dora and Boots! See you in the morning!
Hey, something's coming out of the chimney!
[Early the next morning…]
Wow! "Look at all the presents, Dora!"
Did Santa get HIS present?
(click, beep)
It's STILL there!
So unfortunately, the answer is no.
Unfortunately, he didn't. He forgot! "OH, NO!!!"
They've GOT to do something about this!
(sleigh bells ringing in distance)
Santa in distance: "HO HO HO!"
Listen to those bells jingle!
"Where's Santa going?!" asked Boots.
"Santa's going home," Dora said.
She asks, "Do YOU know where Santa lives?"
Take a guess!
That's right! "The North Pole!"
Boots is VERY worried. "But we've GOTTA
Santa might not get ANY presents for Christmas!" (Poor, Santa!)
"We've GOT to get to the North Pole!"
Dora calms him down. "Don't worry, Boots!"
"Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?
Well, Boots does! "The Map!"
"I need YOUR help to check the Map and find out how to get to the North Pole."
There he is, wearing a Santa hat for Christmas! Come on! Say his name and he'll spring!
SPRIIIIIIIIIING…!
All righty! Let's see what he says!
Map's ready for work! Merry Christmas, Map! "Merry Christmas! ¡Feliz Navidad!" he says. "Dora and Boots need to get to the North Pole so they can give Santa a Christmas present!" Listen carefully for instructions...
"To get to the North Pole, first, you have to go up the Snowy Mountains.
Then, go across the Icy River."
"And that's how you get to the North Pole to bring Santa a Christmas present!"
So you tell Dora: Mountains, River, North Pole!
"How do we get to the North Pole?"
Tell her!
Mountains, River, North Pole!
She repeats what Map told us. "First, we go up the Snowy Mountains."
"Then, we go across the Icy River."
"And that's how we'll get to the North Pole
"so we can bring Santa his present!"
Let's go! (Let the Christmas adventure begin!)
"So first we have to get to
Do you see the snowy mountains?
WHERE?!
"The snowy mountains are REALLY far away!"
"Do you see any that can help us GET to the snowy mountains?"
Here comes Azul the Train!
"That's our friend, Azul!"
"He's wearing Christmas lights!"
"Ooooooh!" they both went.
"COOL!" said Boots.
(He stops.) "Merry Christmas!"
"Merry Christmas, Azul!" says Boots.
"¡Feliz Navidad!" adds Dora.
"We're going to the North Pole," Boots tells them.
"We have a present for Santa!"
we have to go UP the snowy mountains."
Azul accepts their request. "I'LL get you over the snowy mountains!"
"YAY!!!" they cheered as they slap a high-five.
HOWEVER… "But the snowy mountains get COLD!" he said.
"You need clothes to keep you warm in the snow," he suggested.
"I bet I have some clothes we can wear in the snow!" she said to Azul.
"I need your help to open my Backpack!"
"Hola! Feliz Navidad!" says Backpack. "I have lots of stuff, but Dora and Boots need clothes to wear in the snow."
First, find two snowsuits. Count with Backpack!
Great! Can you find four snow boots?
Excelente! Now find four mittens.
"Merry Christmas! ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!"
"Thanks for the snow clothes!"
"NOW we're ready for the Snowy Mountains!"
They're even! (both laughing)
Azul's ready to depart! "CHOO-CHOO!"
"All aboard for the Snowy Mountains!"
Pull the whistle and say, "Choo! Choo!"
Come on, say it with us! (Are they gonna "Chugga-chugga-choo-choo" like they did
the other time, or say "Mountains, River, North Pole"? Let's find out!)
Chugga-chugga, choo-choo!
Chugga-chugga, choo-choo!
Chugga-chugga, choo-choo!
Chugga-chugga, CHOO-CHOO!!!
(Dora whispering:) "Look! There are all our friends!"
"Let's see what Santa gave them."
What did Santa give Benny?
A teddy bear!
What did Santa give Isa?
A new hat!
What did Santa give Tico?
Roller skates!
(NOW is the time to be loud!)
Up the mountains they go! How about a song? Let’s sing!
Come on, let’s get to it!
I know that we can do it!
Hey! How did the Fiesta Trio get on Azul? "North Pole!" they said.
Oh good! He’s slowing down,
out of Azul's train cars ("SANTA'S PRESENT!!!")
They remember that the present is shaped like a rectangle.
So let’s look for all the rectangles in the snow!
Santa's present should be here somewhere.
We have to look for rectangles.
But it’s not Santa's present.
Yes! Let's see if it's Santa's present...
"Thanks for the ride, Azul!"
“No problem!” he replied. He then wishes both of them a Feliz Navidad.
(Let's see what Christmassy stuff the Fiesta Trio's got!)
They're riding on a sleigh!
"Where do we go next, Dora?"
We made it up the Snowy Mountains.
The river, right! The Icy River!
Now where IS the Icy River?
Do you see the Icy River?
"Let's bring this present to Santa!"
"But Swiper wouldn't swipe on Christmas...
WOULD he, Dora?"
(He'll learn this lesson
much later.)
"I don't know, Boots," she said to him,
"But we better be on the lookout."
Boots asks, "Is that
snowman following us?"
But Dora sees something odd about this 'snowman'.
"I don't think that's just
"Do YOU think that's just a snowman?" asked Dora to the viewer.
(Don't do this, no! NO!!)
[Ooh, looks like Boots is going to stand up for himself! Do it, Boots!]
Ha-ha!" (Nope! You're not gonna get away with it THIS time!)
"Swiper, WAIT!!" yelled Boots.
He explains something VERY important. "That's for Santa!"
"If we don't bring it to him,
Santa may not get ANY presents for Christmas!"
(And is this who you wanna be?! A villain?! A criminal?!)
(We don't think so! You're a good fox, Swiper!)
He thought for a moment and asked,
man..." Swiper said with regret.
Swiper gives it back to them.
(Now the present is safe!)
If he did something nice to them, they should do something nice to HIM. But what could THAT be?
"¡Feliz Navidad, Swiper!" they said to him.
They wished him a Merry Christmas!
They made it to...
"The Icy River!"
"¡AYÚDENME! ¡AYÚDENME!" cried the husky puppy.
"Boots, this puppy needs our help."
"¿Que te pasa, Perrito?" she asked.
Dora translates: "He's looking for his mommy and daddy."
Do you see Puppy's mommy and daddy?
"WE'LL get you across the river, puppy!"
"¡No te preocupes, Perrito!"
What should they do? Puppy is wondering just that.
"Now let's stop and think," she said.
"We need to find a way across the river."
"WE'LL help!" said a group of voices.
Yeah, look! Whales!
(How can there be whales in the river? In real life, they live in the ocean.)
"You can jump across on us," said a whale.
"Just jump on our backs!"
Puppy needs your help to jump across the whales.
The puppy knows Spanish; so when he needs to jump, yell "salta".
Puppy has to jump! Say, "Salta"!
Puppy has to jump! Say, "Salta"!
"Say it with us!" Dora says. ALL TOGETHER now!
Puppy's mommy and daddy are SO happy to see him!
"You're welcome!" they all said.
Here come the Fiesta Trio riding on ice!
We made it up the Snowy Mountains;
Do you see the North Pole?
FAR away!" (How are they going to get there?)
Puppy and his family are back!
"Look! It's Puppy and his family!"
"¡VÁMONOS!" Puppy called.
We made it to the North Pole!
"He must still be delivering presents."
"A present for Santa!" whispered some voices.
"Did you hear that?" asked Boots.
(louder) "A PRESENT FOR SANTA!"
(whispers) "Santa's elves!"
"A PRESENT FOR SANTA! A PRESENT FOR SANTA!!!"
Two of the elves step forward.
"Santa should be home soon!" said a boy elf.
"Listen. When you hear the jingle bells…" said a girl elf.
"Santa will be home!" they both said.
Let's all listen for the jingle bells.
When you hear the bells, say "bells!"
Do you see Santa's sleigh?
Then, an idea flew into an elf’s head. "You can put the present under the tree!"
"Let's put our present under his tree."
"HO, HO, HO!", a voice went.
Sounds like someone’s coming!
Look who's out the window!
Santa could not believe his eyes! "What's THIS?"
"¡HOLA, SANTA CLAUS!" says Dora.
"¡Es una guitarra!" (It's a guitar!)
"This is the best present
ANYONE has ever GIVEN me!"
"Let’s play a song together!"
I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom
a sleigh! That's Santa's sleigh!
"Now, I've got to get you home," explained Santa.
He then has an offer for Dora and Boots: "Do you want to go
for a ride in my sleigh?"
They thought it was a wonderful idea! "YES!" they shouted.
Time for a special ride! "¡Feliz
"WE DID IT!!!" shouted Dora and Boots.
(Hello again, Puppy family!)
We rode up Snowy Mountains
with our friend, Azul! (HEY! Where are the Train Tracks?!!)
Look, it's Swiper! And he's waving! How charming of being on the nice list.
Swiper swiped the present…
Look! It’s Benny, Isa, and Tico with their presents!
NAVIDAD!!!!!" yelled Santa.
They made it back home (offscreen)! Now here they are!
"We had such a wonderful trip to the North Pole!"
"What was YOUR favorite part of the trip?"
Now tell them what you liked best!
As always... "I liked that, too!" Now let's hear THEIR favorites!
Boots says that his favorite part was when Swiper gave back Santa's present.
Dora agrees. "Yeah, that was great," she said.
But her favorite part was getting a sleigh ride with Santa.
"We couldn’t have done it without you!"

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
