Plot[]
Once upon a time in a Seasonal Holiday at the Rocket Room, Quincy has to find his violin until he also find a piece of paper that his father wanted him to have it when he was old enough, but his uncle wouldn't allow it. The paper reveals as a music story and it's all about the flight of the instrument fairies. But to read the music story, Quincy is going to play the violin. And so he starts reading of the instrument fairies story that they're making Aurora Borealis; the northern night light. June remembers about it in their last adventure of Aurora Borealis at Lapland, Finland from the 18th episode of Season 1.
But unfortunately, a blizzard came and blows all the instrument fairies back in the cave from Mount McKinley and they are now locked forever! Luckily, there was one instrument fairy who can fit the lock and it's the Violin Fairy! Legend says that she must find a worthy hero who is good of playing instruments to free her friends and the music story will be continued.
And at the Rocket Room, the Violin Fairy came to see Quincy if he can help her free the instrument fairies and he accepts it! So Leo puts out his baton that they've got the next Christmas mission of freeing the Instrument Fairies from Mount McKinley! So they all enter Rocket, buckle their seatbelts, do the pat sequence and BLAST OFF!!!
Now that they blast off, the violin fairy sings her song while Annie sings her microphone on Rocket's microphone stand singing "♪Zippity Zip-Zip Zin, Zin, Zin!♪♪". And the rest of the team also start singing "♪Zippity Zip-Zip Zin, Zin, Zin!♪♪". Afterward, Quincy told that the violin fairy can lead them to the cave where her friends are trapped which is at the polar bear cave in mount McKinley, so she head out of Rocket from the rear door and follow him down to the arctic and soon, they made it to the Bering straight and Rocket transforms into an arctic boat.
Afterwards, the violin fairy follows them into the Arctic Cave and soon, they came across three tunnels and Quincy told them to listen and figure out which way the violin fairy went so Quincy puts out his violin and plays the violin fairy song which is Violin Concerto in E Minor 3rd movement by Felix Mendelssohn. First, Quincy listen to the first tunnel, but the first tunnel isn't the violin because the seal lives inside the first tunnel which was shown from Leo's binoculars. Then, Quincy reuses his violin to play the violin fairy song again which is violin concerto in e minor by Felix Mendelssohn, so they move onto the second tunnel and Quincy listen down the second tunnel, but the second tunnel isn't the violin fairy song either, because there's a polar bear down the second tunnel as shown from Leo's binoculars which they don't want to go towards the polar bear! And finally, they move onto the third tunnel and the third tunnel does sound the violin fairy as she appears from the third tunnel. Afterwards, the violin fairy follows the whole team down the third tunnel and reappear on the other side of the arctic tunnel and once they made on the other side of the arctic tunnel, they heard the other instrument fairies which came from the polar bear cave in mount McKinley. So they resume sailing while Annie sings the violin fairy song. And soon, they reach a dead end of the arctic water and the violin fairy knew a shortcut to get under the ice. So Rocket transforms into a submarine and dive under the ice.
Once underwater, they saw all sorts of arctic fishes, but a big splash scares all of the arctic fishes away as submarine rocket stops and Leo take a look from a periscope and shown that a ice carving occur from the glaciers because the icebergs are coming and falling ice are about to hit Rocket and he sway and maneuver him and made it safe inside the underwater ice cave. But the some chunks of ice trap submarine Rocket, luckily a walrus came to help the submarine Rocket by chipping a hole through the ice with his tuck so that the submarine Rocket can get out of the underwater ice cave and June help the walrus by doing the walrus dance by holding out her fingers to make little walrus tusk and chip it and soon, the walrus continues to chip through the ice so that the submarine rocket can get through, unfortunately, a polar bear is about to swim toward them as shown from Rocket's display screen, so June help the walrus chip faster to make the hole even bigger for the submarine rocket to swim through and soon, the hole is big enough for the submarine rocket to swim through. afterward, submarine Rocket swim through the hole made walrus ice wall and thank the walrus for chipping the ice wall for Rocket to swim through and thus, Rocket surfaces and transform back to it's normal shape.
Soon, they heard the other instrument fairies which is still trapped inside the polar bear caves in mount McKinley as shown from Rocket's display screen, but the polar bear is also coming toward the polar bear cave in mount McKinley in which the instrument fairies is still trapped inside the polar bear's cave in mount McKinley, and Quincy told them that they need to hurry and rescue them from the polar bear cave in mount McKinley before the polar bear get to the cave. Luckily, Leo has an idea that they had to fly super fast to get to the polar bear cave in mount McKinley and soon, they arrived at the polar bear cave in mount McKinley, but there's not enough room for Rocket to land in front of the polar bear cave, so they had to land on the bottom of mount McKinley, right by the slippery snowflakes.
Afterward, they head out and Annie said that they found a path that goes up to the polar bear's cave, so Quincy told that he can take the violin fairy up to the polar bear cave, so Quincy heads up the slippery snowflakes and step on the violin snowflake which is a safe snowflake, but he step on the drum snowflake which is slippery snowflake which causes Quincy to slide down to the bottom of the slippery snowflake, as June mentioned, the violin fairy says that Quincy needs to watch out for the slippery snowflakes which slip and slide back down to the bottom as Annie mentioned while Leo told that the only snowflake to step on is the violin sounded like snowflake. So Quincy thanks the reminder about the slippery snowflake and told the team that he'll be careful. So Quincy told that the only snowflake that he can step on is the violin sounded like snowflake, so Quincy listen to the first slippery snowflake and the first snowflake is safe and Quincy walk across the violin sounded like snowflake, so Quincy move onto the second slippery snowflake, but the second snowflake isn't sounded like a violin because the second snowflake sounded like a trombone, so the second snowflake isn't safe and it's slippery as Quincy step to the slide as the second slippery snowflake slid down the slippery snowflake hill. So they move onto the third slippery snowflake and listen to the third slippery snowflake and the third slippery snowflake sounded like a violin, so that mean the third slippery snowflakes is safe and Quincy walk across the third slippery snowflakes.
Finally, they made it to the polar bear cave on top of mount McKinley and they heard the other instrument fairies inside the cave, but when Quincy tries to pull the doorknob, the door is locked, but a polar bear is approaching the polar bear cave. Luckily, the polar bear is holding the key to the polar bear cave in his mouth, then the polar bear opens his mouth so that he can give the key to the violin fairy and takes it to Quincy so that he can unlock and open the door of the polar bear cave and soon, all of the other instrument fairies are free from the polar bear cave in mount McKinley as the violin fairy thanking Quincy for helping him rescuing the other instrument fairies from the polar bear cave as he mentioned that violin fairies and all of the other instrument fairies can make a beautiful colors again and thus, they flew across the sky to make a beautiful northern light once more and they all live happily ever after! Mission Completion and a Merry Christmas!

Errors/Goofs/Statics[]
- When Rocket is transforming into a submarine, his periscope is small instead of big.
- When Rocket is using his periscope after a small splash, the water reflection is making marks. On KLM Little Einsteins live action episode 9, the water reflection marks are going too fast, but in the real show, they're going slow.
