Shaun the sheep as a series has been quite good for several years, the way they can tell these fun and exciting stories without saying a single word truly is a testament to how much effort and care is put into the animation. Aardman is a company that never skimps out on their animation with their iconic and recognizable stopmotion claymation, and each project. The specials plot is fairly simple which is exactly what this series needs and is known for, the Shaun the sheep franchise doesn't need to have complex and deep story to be as great as it is. The animation in this special is just as great as Aardmans other work but this time its paired with the fun & festive atmosphere of christmas, the special has plenty of moments that'll make you laugh, smile and even get you all warm hearted. This is a special that anyone can get behind, it's perfect for adults and kids alike. This holiday special is such a fun and charming addition to anyones holiday line up. I highly recommend this special.

My first ever encounter with the sprawling Shaun the Sheep brand is this festive special and I was sincerely taken with it. Aardman's charm and wit has barely diminished over the years and this festive wooly romp was a hoot. The brilliantly brief Snowman reprise was the TV highlight of the season, if not the entire year.
