Plot

Godzilla-kun reads to Minilla and Little about Christmas, a holiday celebrated in the human world, and Little desires to actually meet Santa Claus. They go visit Grandpa Zilla to see if he knows Santa, and he reveals that he is one of many Santa Clauses, placed in charge of kids who like monsters. The three brothers agree to help him, loading up his sleigh and dressing up as Santas, with Anguirus and Baragon acting as reindeer. As they travel to Japan, they stop to retrieve Kamachi, a young member of their family trapped in the human world after falling through a space-time distortion. He has befriended a girl who is keeping him as a pet in an abandoned building. Visiting him on Christmas Eve, she finds him grey and motionless, having grown sick while living in the human world, and carries his body through the streets, weeping. The Three Godzilla Brothers and Grandpa Zilla appear before her. Grandpa Zilla uses his staff to revive Kamachi, who grows to the girl's size. They take Kamachi with them after a tearful goodbye, but leave her with a golden present. Continuing their journey, they teleport down to children's bedrooms to leave more presents, helped by Grandpa Hedo and Young Hedo. Later, the girl reveals her present: a Kamachi keychain.
