Christmas Comes to Pac-land 1982

On Christmas Eve, Pac-Man, Marty Ingels and his family enjoy a snowy, festive evening, but their fun takes a dramatic turn when they must defend themselves against and ultimately defeat the invading Ghost Monsters. After the battles, the ghosts’ eyes drift toward Santa Claus, Peter Cullen in his sleigh, startling the reindeer and causing a crash.

Seeking shelter, Pac-Man and his friends bring Santa to Pac-Man’s home. Santa explains to those unfamiliar with Christmas what the holiday means and reveals that he still needs to deliver gifts. Pac-Man volunteers to search for Santa’s lost toys, paired with his loyal dog Chomp-Chomp Frank Welker, while the others get to work rebuilding Santa’s sleigh.

As they search for the gifts, the Ghost Monsters close in on them. The ghosts pursue Pac-Man, injuring him, while Chomp-Chomp grabs the sack of toys and the two make it back to Pac-Man’s house. With the sack safe and the sleigh repaired, Santa admits that it might be too late to save Christmas, but Pac-Man is determined to find a solution.

The group heads out again, but soon finds themselves cornered by the Ghost Monsters. Pac-Man tries to reason with them, sharing how warm and cheerful Christmas can be, and, moved by his words, the ghosts let them pass. The journey leads them to the Power Pellet Forest, where Santa’s reindeer eat Power Pellets, restoring their ability to fly.

They return to Pac-Man’s house to discover a Christmas tree and presents waiting inside, and the whole group—Pac-Man, his family, Santa, and even the formerly hostile Ghost Monsters—celebrates Christmas together, having been won over when Pac-Man distributes gifts to them.
