A Merry Mirth­worm Christ­mas (1984) — Peren­nial Pic­tures Car­toon Special

It’s Christ­mas, and Bert Worm is the new guy in town. He wants so badly to be accepted by the other worms, but he tries too hard and bum­bles things. He accepts that he is just trou­ble to the town and runs away, but in his going, gets caught in a nasty bliz­zard. Crys­tal Crawler is Bert’s only friend and she knows his tal­ent lies in his beau­ti­ful voice, which, in the end, is the gift of friend­ship he gives to the whole town. In Bert’s res­cue from the storm, and the dis­cov­ery of Bert’s tal­ent, all the worms learn a valu­able les­son about car­ing for their fel­low worm and giv­ing oth­ers a chance to be a part.
