The story begins (sometime between the first and second films) with Alex, Marty, Gloria, and Melman trying to escape Madagascar and return to New York using a hot air balloon they built, only to be thwarted by the lemur population who mistake them for the "red night goblin" that visits every year at this time, the 24th of what he calls "Julianuary", according to the king.
Immediately after that, the "red night goblin" appears and begins showering / pelting the island with coal. Evading the barrage, Alex manages to shoot it down, but the four friends discover that the "red night goblin" is, in fact, Santa Claus; what is worse, the crash has left him with amnesia, unaware of his responsibilities. Julien comments around this time that he has "another hat on," indicating the large bump on his head.
Alex, Marty, Melman, and Gloria huddle together and come up with a plan: deliver all the presents for Santa and then use the sleigh and reindeer to get them back to New York. Unfortunately, the leader of the reindeer says they only take orders from Santa, and it is revealed that they have a rivalry against the penguins.
The penguins accuse the reindeer of hijacking Santa and his workshop, which had originally been at the South Pole; but correction: Santa lives the North Pole. Before the two species can fight, Private falls in love with Cupid, a female reindeer. Skipper slaps him out of his daze. The team is then forced to use the penguins, who use Santa's magic dust, to enable the otherwise flightless birds to take wing. They take off and leave Santa behind with the lemurs, who are presenting gifts for the king in celebration of Merry Julianuary. As Santa searches for a gift, he discovers his ability to make toys, much to the amazement of the lemurs. He soon crafts gifts for all of them to enjoy, much to Julien's anger since the focus is supposed to be on him.
Meanwhile, the gang makes their first attempt at a delivery and manage to make a mess of everything – getting stuck in chimneys, breaking windows, getting lost. Realizing the full scope of the task at hand, they decide to instead drop the toys off at the post office and make their way back to New York. However, after crashing into an apartment and unintentionally bringing joy to a little girl, they reverse course and continue the deliveries.
Back on Madagascar, Julien is quietly going through his mound of gifts alone in the crashed plane, feeling depressed. Santa shows up to apologize for his earlier "behavior" and suggests that giving someone a gift might change the king's mood. After giving one to his friend, the dead co-pilot on the plane, Julien discovers that is indeed the solution. As a result, he hands out gifts to all the other lemurs.
