"Kitchen Kringle" ("A Kringle Feast" in the Happy Tree Friends: Second Serving DVD or simply "Kringle Feast" in Happy Tree Friends - Winter Break) is a Kringle featuring Cub, Giggles, Toothy, Lifty, Shifty, Cuddles, Petunia, and Lumpy. The short is set to "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen".

Plot

The inside of a house shows what appears to be Cub sleeping on the floor and Giggles resting on her armchair, before showing Toothy laying his head on the dining table with his eyes open and an expression of discomfort, two green legs left hanging in the air, Cuddles with a pained expression, and Petunia collapsed with broken plates in front of her, gradually showing the cause of their condition: a gas leak from the oven that Lumpy is struggling to light up. The moose struggles with the lighter he is using until it finally lights up. He laughs maniacally, unaware of the gas leak. A huge explosion then occurs shortly after.
