THOMAS AND FRIENDS: THE CHRISTMAS LETTER EXPRESS begins with Thomas and Percy riding together as Percy delivers Christmas letters around the town. Thomas delivers cookies and learns that Santa will appear in the Christmas parade. Later, a few trains become tangled in Christmas lights and must work together to untangle them.
Percy thinks he’s done delivering letters until he notices that one letter has yet to be delivered, and it has Santa’s address on the envelope. The trains travel to a mountain and watch the sky, searching for Santa. They realize many of the Christmas lights on the hill are out, and Helicopter Harold helps them locate working lights. The trains finally spot Santa in the sky and head into town to find him.
Later, the letter blows away, and the trains work together, chasing it to retrieve it. The letter opens, and Thomas reads that a child named Ryan has asked Santa for a skateboard. The trains decide to make the child’s Christmas wish come true, but they can’t find a skateboard. Santa comes to the rescue and gives the skateboard to Percy to deliver. Percy is thrilled when he sees Ryan happy once he receives their gift. THOMAS AND FRIENDS: THE CHRISTMAS LETTER EXPRESS also includes a Christmas parade.
