Private, seeing how sad Ted is, asks Skipper if they can go give Ted a present, but Kowalski says they do not have one. In spite of this, Private slips out of the zoo on Christmas Eve to find a present for Ted. About half an hour later, the other three Penguins notice that Private is missing and go looking for him. While roaming the streets of Manhattan, Private searches for Ted's present at a toy kiosk, but is suddenly nabbed by Nana (the mean old lady from the first film), who mistakes him for a chew toy. She purchases Private and brings him home as a Christmas present for her vicious dog, Mr. Chew. Unbeknownst to Nana, the other three penguins manage to sneak into the apartment building in which she lives and break into her apartment to save Private. They escalate into chaos against Mr. Chew, all-the-while unnoticed by Nana, who is very occupied watching a football game. When they are done, they blow up the door with dynamite (something Rico has been wanting to use throughout the picture) and make their getaway, leaving Mr. Chew to be harshly scolded by Nana for what the penguins have done to her place. As the penguins head back to the zoo, Private admits he still feels sorry for Ted, so the penguins invite Ted to their home for Christmas. But he has already invited several other guests (including the main characters from the movies), resulting in a massive sing-a-long to a parody of "Jingle Bells".

Meanwhile, the other three penguins, Skipper, Kowalski, and Rico, discover Private's absence and remember the Penguin Credo, "Never swim alone." With that in mind, they set out to rescue him. They have an intense fight against Mr. Chew which goes entirely unnoticed by Nana, who is busy watching a football game. When they are done, Skipper lets Rico blow up the door with dynamite, which is a running gag in the film, finally attracting Nana's attention and blames Mr. Chew for making the mess. At the end of the film they invite Ted to their home. But he had already invited several other guests, resulting in a massive sing-a-long to a parody of Jingle Bells.
