It's Thanksgiving in the Hundred Acre Wood and Winnie the Pooh and his friends bring food for the feast. Pooh brings honey, Piglet brings acorns, Gopher brings lemonade, Owl brings biscuits, Eeyore brings thistles, and Tigger brings "hot chocolatey" ice cream. But Rabbit tells them that they need a real feast with turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie and sends them on a scavenger hunt to get them (Eeyore and Tigger to pick the cranberries, Gopher to gather pumpkins for the pie, and Pooh and Piglet to get the turkey).[2][3][4] When everything goes wrong (Tigger and Eeyore losing the cranberries, Pooh and Piglet mistaking the former two for a turkey caught in their trap, the decorations and pumpkin pie getting destroyed), Rabbit believes Thanksgiving is ruined and therefore cannot proceed. Despite everyone else giving up on Thanksgiving as well, Pooh comes to realize that it's more about giving and sharing what you have with your friends. In light of this realization, he gathers all of his friends back up (including the initially-hesitant Rabbit) and they proceed with their original Thanksgiving feast.
