Plot

Donald goes out to play with a sled while singing "Jingle Bells". When Donald reaches the top of the hill, he notices his nephews, Huey, Dewey and Louie, at the bottom, building a snowman. Donald crashes his sled into their snowman, which prompts his nephews to plot revenge. The nephews craft a silly-looking snowman around a boulder and label it "Uncle Donald." Donald attempts to crash the snowman, only to crash into the boulder underneath it, destroying his sled. An all-out snow war ensues, ending with the nephews using flaming arrows to melt Donald's snow battleship and send him falling into the frozen lake below. To celebrate their victory, the triplets perform a stereotypical Native American dance.
