"Babies in Toyland" is the third Christmas episode of the Nickelodeon animated series Rugrats, aired in the show's ninth season. It was originally released as a direct-to-video special on September 24, 2002, before airing on YTV and Nickelodeon on December 12th of the same year. Its title is a reference to that of the Christmas operetta Babes in Toyland.
Synopsis
For Dil's very first Christmas, the babies and their families take a trip to a winter wonderland designed by Stu, complete with a mechanical snow-making machine and Santa. Angelica confronts the actor playing him and acts so obnoxious that it causes him to quit, while Tommy and the gang try to save the day. Meanwhile, Stu's snow making machine malfunctions and causes the adults to get trapped inside a makeshift log cabin.
Notes
- The Santa actor whom Angelica drives away in this episode would reappear as a mall Santa in All Grown Up!'s Christmas episode, "The Finster Who Stole Christmas".
