Po ostrzeżeniu od ducha Marleya, aby zmienił swoje postępowanie, Scrooge odwiedzany jest przez trzy dodatkowe duchy, które prowadzą go przez sceny mające zainspirować jego przemianę. Pierwszy z nich, Duch Minionych Świąt, ujawnia chwile z dzieciństwa Scrooge'a, budząc wspomnienia jego niewinności. Drugi duch, Duch Obecnych Świąt, pokazuje mu różne sceny, w tym tętniący życiem rynek, skromną ucztę jego pracownika Boba Cratchita oraz chatkę górnika, mając na celu wzbudzenie poczucia odpowiedzialności za innych.

W Boże Narodzenie Scrooge budzi się pełen radości i miłości, spędzając dzień z rodziną siostrzeńca i anonimowo wysyłając nagrodowego indyka do domu Cratchitów. Przez noc przekształca się w człowieka życzliwości i hojności, zdobywając reputację, która ucieleśnia ducha Bożego Narodzenia. Historia kończy się potwierdzeniem trwałości przemiany Scrooge'a.
