The spectacularly accident-prone Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) embraces the holiday spirit—and nearly crushes it to death—in this 30-minute comedy special, comprised of three interrelated sketches.
In "Christmas Shopping," Bean purchases a balky string of tree lights before making a shambles of a department store toy section; in "Christmas Eve," he manages to acquire a free turkey and a free tree and then attempts to conduct a Salvation Army band; and in "Christmas Dinner," Bean has quite a surprise in store for his long-suffering girlfriend.
