In order to successfully control Christmas, Jack Skellington enlists the help of a trio of misfits named Lock, Shock, and Barrel to kidnap Santa Claus. The children take him to the villainous Oogie Boogie; a gambling and cheating sack of bugs.

It is Christmas Eve, and Jack embarks on his makeshift sleigh flanked by skeleton reindeer and his ghost dog, Zero. Jack's scary and sometimes dangerous presents put the people in the real world in a panic and they begin to call the police with reports of attacking Christmas toys and an impostor Santa Claus.

It is not long before Jack is targeted by the military and shot down in an attempt to stop him realising his version of Christmas. After this, Jack realizes that he must put Christmas back the way it was. He hurries off back to Halloweentown to get Santa back from Lock, Shock and Barrel.

However, he soon discovers that Santa Claus and Sally are about to be boiled up into to Snake and Spider Stew by Oogie. Just as Oogie pulls the lever to drop his two hostages in, Jack appears...and he is pissed.

Terrified, Oogie steps on a button that turns on all of his machinery that whirl blades menacingly around Jack, as well as shooting off gunfire. Jack escapes this and he corners Oogie but Oogie catapults himself onto a piece of machinery that has whirling blades, and is rising into the air.

However, as Oogie laughs, Jack notices a small string hanging from his body. He pulls on it with all of his might. Oogie's seams begin to rip open. Oogie pleads for Jack to let go, but Jack throws the string into the machine's gears, and it rips Oogie’s sack-body open causing all of his bugs to fall into his own stew.

One of the many bugs manages to escape falling into the stew, but alas his life span does not last much longer than that of his comrades as he is squashed by the boot of Saint Nick, who is not in the mood for imparting any Christmas cheer at this point.
