In this video, I share my thoughts on Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol — the long-awaited third entry in a holiday series that so many of us grew up with. The original two specials became modern Christmas staples, packed with charm, clever worldbuilding, and genuine festive magic… which makes this new installment a noticeable shift. Does it capture the same spirit, or does it lose what made the franchise special in the first place?
I break down how this new short handles its story, humor, animation, and overall Christmas atmosphere — and why, despite my nostalgia for the earlier specials, this one ultimately feels less inspired. From the surprisingly cheap-looking visuals to the lack of holiday focus and emotional resonance, I dive into what worked for me, what didn’t, and why longtime fans might be disappointed.
Whether you loved the original Prep & Landing shorts, grew up watching them on ABC Family, or are just curious how this franchise holds up more than a decade later, this review covers everything you need to know — no spoilers required.
If you're into animated holiday specials, Disney seasonal releases, or nostalgic revisits to childhood favorites, this is one you’ll want to hear my thoughts on.
