Plot[]
It's Christmas time for the Octonauts as they travel to Professor Inkling's home, the seamount (an underwater mountain). However, when an undersea tremor shakes the seamount, Inkling discovers that his friends and nephew, Squirt, are trapped inside of it. Tweak sees the situation as the perfect opportunity to bring out Captain Barnacles' present, the Gup-X, the strongest GUP she’d made yet. The 500 year-old Golden Coral is also trapped, and she thinks she'll be spending Christmas upside-down. When they get to the top, the golden coral gathers up in the center and several sea creatures come together to form a Christmas tree, and everyone sings.
