Song Info

It's called The Twelve Ways of Christmas. It's got leaping lions, bouncing berries, falling fruit, all sorts of stuff.

Bunga, Timon and Pumbaa's Christmas

The Twelve Ways of Christmas is a song sung by the Lion Guard.

After hearing that Dandy Claws will only appear if the song is both sung and performed under the Christmas tree on Christmas day, the Lion Guard organize the entire show with the hopes of getting him to appear to make Timon and Pumbaa's Christmas the best one they've ever had.
