[After the fight with Oogie, Santa is in his real sleigh]
Santa Claus [TNBC]: Whew! For a moment there, I thought I was too late, but I managed to deliver the presents in time.
Jack Skellington: We're so... [sighs] Forgive us, for causing you trouble again.
Santa Claus [TNBC]: No, Jack. This time, I owe you and Garfield my gratitude. Thank you two for saving my life.
[Santa flies away on the sleigh. Jack and Garfield watch and wave as he flies into the sky.]
[Santa's sleigh flies past the moon]
Santa Claus [TNBC]: Merry Christmas! Ho ho ho!
Pomni: I was so scared, Garfield.
Garfield: You know, it's strange. Whenever I set out to find something new, my eyes are opened to a larger world.
Pomni: You're not leaving again, are you?
Garfield: No. Something tells me the most wonderful discoveries.... are a little closer to home.
[Garfield and Pomni kiss in front of the moon, while Zero watches and flies up and around it, into the sky, becoming a star, just like in the film]
