A lonely little fir tree, standing by itself at the edge of the forest, has its life transformed when a father comes and digs it up and takes it home to serve as a living Christmas tree for his bedridden son.

A small, crooked evergreen tree is sad and lonely when the other trees are cut down to be taken indoors at Christmas, but new friends help him feel special, too.

When a little Douglas fir tree who loves Christmas more than anyone hears a TV newscast announce the search for the most famous Christmas tree, he knows he is meant to be that tree. With his friends Maisie the palm tree and Gene the weed, he embarks on a road trip adventure to make his dream come true. Along the way, they attract the attention of a villainous Christmas-loathing cactus named Pete.
