Our Very First Christmas Show

Danny has planed for the whole Tanner family to go to Colorado for Christmas. They've packed all the presents (and Joey's Santa Clause suit) into bags. Jesse and Joey are singing a Christmas tune (Outside the snow is falling....) and Danny is making a videotape of the holidays for "Wake Up San Francisco". They're really looking forward to spending the holidays away, but not everyone feels that way……..Stephanie is afraid that Santa Claus won't find her in Colorado! Therefore, she has made him a map.

Meanwhile D.J. tells Michelle that she has found out where Danny hid all their presents, and she makes Michelle keep it a secret.

Once on the plane to Colorado, they are all happily surprised as they bump into Becky. (Or more correctly; she bumps into them.) Jesse says he didn't know she was going to Colorado, and he asks whether they shall go skiing or something. Becky tells him that she's changing planes in Colorado, as she's going home to Nebraska for Christmas.

Further, there has been some misunderstanding on behalf of the airline. D.J., Danny and some other man all have tickets for the same seat. Therefore D.J. and Stephanie are allowed to sit in first class.

Due to a heavy snowstorm, they are stuck at the airport until the next morning. This of course makes Stephanie even more upset, and she's sure Santa Clause will never find her now. Danny is upset they won't make their family reunion, and it gets worse when he finds out they've lost the bag with the girls' presents. Joey dress up as Santa Claus to make Stephanie feel better, but when his beard falls off, and she finds out that he's a fake, she only gets more depressed. Joey is sad because he made Stephanie more upset, D.J. is upset because their presents got lost, Danny says it's his fault they had to go on this trip in the first place, and Becky is sad she won't be home to celebrate Christmas with her family (and her cow!) Jesse is the one who has to remind them of the real Christmas value, which they have forgotten about. They all cheer up a bit, and they start singing Christmas carols. The next day when they wake up it's Christmas morning. Stephanie is still sad Santa Claus won't come, but D.J. is impressed by Jesse's effort on making the airport more Christmas like. The whole situation has made Jesse and Becky come closer. She says that since she can't spend Christmas with her family, she's glad to spend it with him and his family. After some encouragement from his father, Jesse asks Becky for a kiss under the mistletoe.

Later Stephanie is surprised by another Santa Clause. After testing that his beard is real, she is sure he is the real Santa. Suddenly all their presents show up, and when Stephanie turn to thank Santa, he is gone. All there is left is a message on a computer that says: Merry Christmas, HO! HO! HO! The others are somewhat in doubt whether it was the real Santa or not, but Stephanie is certain that it was. Then she receives a message: Thanks for the map, Stephanie! They all open their presents and sing more Christmas carols. And it turns out to be a nice Christmas, even though they have to spend it at an airport.
