In the 1983 Christmas special Alvin and the Chipmunks: A Chipmunk Christmas, the Chipmunks—Alvin, Simon, and Theodore—have their own Christmas wishes, which reflect their personalities.
- Alvin: Alvin, the mischievous and energetic Chipmunk, wants a bike for Christmas. This desire is pretty in line with his love for attention and excitement. Throughout the special, he is quite vocal about his wish for the bike.
- Simon: Simon, the more intellectual and serious of the trio, expresses interest in scientific equipment or something more practical. His wish is a bit more reserved compared to Alvin’s, and he doesn’t focus on something flashy but rather something that suits his love for knowledge.
- Theodore: Theodore, the sweet and caring Chipmunk, wants something more innocent and heartfelt. He wishes for a toy train. His wish is grounded in his kind-hearted nature, which is often seen in his gentle personality throughout the series.
This special shows how each Chipmunk has different desires based on their characters, but the story ultimately focuses on the importance of giving, kindness, and the true spirit of Christmas. Alvin’s sometimes self-centered attitude gives way to more thoughtful actions, especially when he learns about the importance of charity.
