在圣诞特辑中，是在达罗比的圣诞节，海伦和詹姆斯意识到他们还没有就在哪里过圣诞节达成一致。霍尔夫人在斯凯尔代尔等着他们，珍妮在赫斯顿格兰奇等着他们，这对夫妇不愿让他们中的任何一个失望。这种情况引发了更大的问题，即他们未来的生活将会是什么样子。当当地心爱的宠物病得很严重时，齐格弗里德必须把它带到实践中进行紧急治疗。在这样的紧急情况下，海伦最终感觉自己像Skeldale圣诞派对上的一个多余的部分，但农场主戴夫·基特森(Dave Kitson)最终可能是海伦在Skeldale找到自己位置的解决方案，也是动物生存的关键。Tristan意识到是时候让自己更认真一些了，并透露了一些重要的消息，而James的父亲寄来了一张卡片，要求他在圣诞节给他们打电话，这让James对他是否能与家人弥补关系感到不安。
In the Christmas special, it’s Christmas in Darrowby, and Helen and James realise they haven’t agreed on where they’re spending Christmas Day. Mrs Hall is expecting them at Skeldale and Jenny is expecting them at Heston Grange, and the pair are reluctant to disappoint either of them. The situation raises bigger questions about what their lives will look like in the future. When a beloved local pet is taken seriously ill, Siegfried has to bring it into the practice for emergency treatment. In the face of such an emergency, Helen ends up feeling like a spare part at the Skeldale Christmas party, but fellow farmer Dave Kitson could end up being the solution to Helen finding her place at Skeldale, and the key to the animal’s survival. Tristan learns that it might be time to take himself more seriously and reveals some important news, while a card from James’s father asking him to phone them on Christmas Day leaves James on tenterhooks about whether he can make amends with his family.
