It was a very special Christmas for Mina. After all, it was her FIRST one ever. At least, with her new family.

"I'm so excited! I never celebrated Christmas before. At least, not as mortals celebrated it." The closest thing she did on Christmas when her sister was still alive was observing one particular star in the sky. One, that according to Flora, was really important.

The Tortuga crew was also getting ready for the festivities. Jimmy and Koki prepared cookies, while Bite-Size snuggled into a warm scarf.

"The crew will love this special recipe from Grandma Jimmena!" Jimmy said, as he munched on some.

"Not if you keep eating them," Koki chuckled, as she wiped his face clean. "You must leave some for the rest of us."

Mina picked one of the cookies. "Don't worry, it's a vegan recipe. Grandma already knows you're a vegan," Jimmy insisted on her to try one.

"Yummy-yummy, party-on-tummy!" she said, after eating.

Bite-Size observed around the HQ. "Hey… where are the Kratt Brothers?"

"They went out to find a tree," Koki said. "Aviva's with them. They better hurry. The dinner's almost ready."

Hearing that, Mina picked up a scarf and rushed to find her brothers and sister.

"Are you sure this one is good enough?" Martin asked, in his beaver suit.

"Sure."

"I don't know. Looks too big to fit into the Tortuga," Chris observed. Then, he stepped away from Aviva, seeing something.

"Definately too big," Mina commented, as she approached them. "It's even bigger than the tree inside the HQ. Um… plus, are you sure we should cut it off?"

"Don't worry. This is an authorized place," Aviva said. "See?" She pointed out to a sign with a pine tree symbol. "It means we can get a tree."

"But not this one. Look," the hybrid pointed out. "There's someone living in here." She was right: there was a family of squirrels.

"Oops. Sorry," Aviva said.

"It's fine, Viva. I already got one here," Chris said, approaching them in his beaver suit.

Back to the HQ, the brothers placed the tree in a pot and started decorating the place.

"Good thing we can use some of my birthday decorations," Martin said, picking some of the decorations.

"You said it. You're lucky to have your birthday so close to Christmas," Chris said, as he placed the wreaths in their places, helped by Bite-Size.

Everything looked good: the brothers were decorating the place, Aviva was helping with the tree, and Koki and Jimmy cooked for the party.

Everything looked so pretty. But for some reason, Mina didn't feel like smiling.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" Aviva asked. "Christmas is a happy celebration."

"I am happy… but everyone is doing something special and important..." Mina said. "And well… we're not."

"Oh, darling. Of course you'll do something important," Aviva said, signalizing for them to follow her. She opened a box with… a golden star in it. "The decorations are pretty, but the most important thing on the tree is the star."

Mina's eyes glowed. It was beautiful.

"Goes right on the very top. I left the most important for you, our newest member, because you made our family bigger and happier."

She hugged Aviva, happy with those words.

Unfortunately, Mina's rush on climbing the tree caused her to lose her grip and she fell, without much time to levitate. The team hurried and all five adults caught her.

The star fell on the top of the hybrid's head.

"Should WE put the star back up?" Jimmy asked.

"No. Let OUR little star do it," Martin said.

Mina placed the star on the top of the tree. The team was watching with smiles.

"This is going to be the best Christmas EVER!" Mina said cheerfully, as the team embraced her.
