Blanco, the Little Donkey That Saved Christmas is teased and bullied by the other animals, he is considered strange or from another planet and even scary because if they get too close, they might become white as snow too! With legs too weak to carry burdens, the animals laugh at Blanco, for each one of them has an important task to do for the farmer, and now Blanco will not be able to do anything of worth. Blanco's mother is the only one who believes that someday her son will do something very important.
Through Blanco's problems, children will come to understand how wrong it is to bully others. On Christmas Eve, everything will change for Blanco and children will experience excitement and a sense of power as he meets Santa Claus and the impossible becomes possible. Blanco's joyful brays will ring through the dark Christmas night, "Hee, Haw!" Hee, Haw!"
