Good Cheer is a 1926 American short silent comedy film, the 46th in the Our Gang series, directed by Robert F. McGowan.^[1]^[2]

Plot

The kids assemble before a large store window featuring a live Santa Claus. The curtain accidentally flies up to reveal that the Santa Claus is a fake, and the children disperse, muttering "There ain't no Santa Claus." Mickey and his pal want to restore the faith of their friends but are hampered by a lack of funds. They sell hot bricks during a snowstorm and obtain a pocketful of money. They begin a midnight trip to visit various chimneys with gifts. At the same time, criminals disguised as Santa Claus are executing a bootlegging plot. The gang assist in the capture of the crooks.
