Fiona the hippo celebrates her first Christmas.

If you want a hippopotamus for Christmas, and only Fiona will do, you're in luck.

The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden on Thursday released a special "Fiona Show" episode featuring America's large adult daughter celebrating her very first Christmas.

In the video, which was posted on Facebook Watch, Fiona is seen playing with her present — a box, her favorite! — and eating treats along to the tune of John Rox's and Gayla Peevey's famous Christmas jingle, "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas."

The special episode comes after a seven-part series following the life of Cincinnati's aquatic queen, who was born prematurely in January and has been capturing hearts around the world ever since.
