Watch Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas

Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas is a heartwarming holiday movie from 1997 that follows the story of Belle (voiced by Paige O'Hara) and the Beast (voiced by Robby Benson) as they celebrate their first Christmas together. The film also features the voices of Jerry Orbach as Lumiere and David Ogden Stiers as Cogsworth - the Beast's loyal servants who are determined to make the holiday season as magical as possible.

The movie starts with Belle preparing to celebrate her first Christmas at the Beast's castle. As she decorates the tree and wraps presents, she can't help but notice that the Beast seems sad and distant. Despite her efforts to cheer him up, he remains gloomy and begins to reminisce about his past when he was still human. This leads to the revelation that the Beast had banned Christmas from the castle after a tragic event happened many years ago.

Belle is determined to show the Beast the true meaning of Christmas and to help him heal from his past. She enlists the help of Lumiere, Cogsworth, and the other enchanted objects in the castle to decorate the entire place and give the Beast a true Christmas experience.

Meanwhile, a scheming Forte (voiced by Tim Curry), the castle's pipe organ who is also enchanted, is determined to keep the Beast from falling in love with Belle and breaking the curse that turned him into a monster. He sends his faithful minion, a small bird named Fife (voiced by Paul Reubens), to sabotage Belle's efforts and prevent Christmas from happening in the castle.

As the story unfolds, we see Belle and the Beast bond over their shared love of Christmas and learn more about each other's pasts. The Beast begins to open up to Belle and sees the holiday season in a different light, realizing that he doesn't have to be alone anymore. In the end, Belle and her friends manage to overcome Forte's schemes and bring Christmas to the castle once again.

The movie ends on a heartwarming note as Belle and the Beast share a romantic dance in the snow, surrounded by their friends and surrounded by the magical glow of the enchanted objects.
