Plot
It's Christmas Day and Cruella has her employees all working late. And when Roger attempts to convince her to let Anita go home early, she fires Anita outright in order to set an example. Later, while on her way home from work, Cruella gets knocked unconscious by a falling mechanical tree that was in her building, though she soon wakes up and makes her way home. Unbeknownst to Cruella, however, she will soon be visited by three ghosts that will try to convince her to change her ways, less she suffer a cruel and horrible fate due to her greed.
Trivia
- In the Ghost of Christmas Past's sequence, Teenage Cruella, getting an idea, makes an evil stretched-out grin like the one the Grinch made in How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
