A Pokémon Christmas special follows Ash's Pikachu and other early Pokémon party members from the early days of the anime. They save Christmas gifts for Santa's Delibird, and bring a Frosty the Snorlax Snowman to life.
From the Pokémon Chronicles animated series which first aired in the US in 2006, Pikachu's Winter Vacation combines two shorts, "Delibird's Dilemna" and "Snorlax Snowman". Both episodes have narrators near the beginning, but very few spoken lines otherwise (aside from Santa Claus and Meowth from Team Rocket).
