"Holiday Knights" is the first episode of the first season of The New Batman Adventures.

[edit] Plot

Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn go on a Christmas shopping spree, with a kidnapped Bruce Wayne.

Renee Montoya and Harvey Bullock go undercover to find thieves during the hectic Christmas shopping season.

Joker holds the city hostages during New Year's Eve.

Batman and Commissioner Gordon engage in an annual tradition of New Year's coffee together.

This episode is a direct adaptation (with minor alterations for pacing) of the Batman Adventures Holiday Special. The vignette featuring Mr. Freeze was not included in the televised adaptation.
Bruce Timm, creator and producer of The New Batman Adventures appears (as well as nearly every other show in the DCAU) appears in animated form, along with Glen Murakami and Shane Glines.
Tim Drake appears in the third part, though his debut is in the next episode, Sins of the Father. Arguably, that episode may take place before the third segment.
