Christmas Countdown: Prep & Landing (2009)

Every day from December 1st to 24th, we will be counting down to Christmas by profiling holiday classics both old and new.  Arranged in chronological order, these are some of our favourites to watch every year.  Enjoy!

Before Prep & Landing first aired back in 2009, nobody knew just how great the animated Disney TV special would be.  It immediately become a classic, and rightfully so.  Following two elves who work with Santa at the North Pole and make sure the houses are prepared for his visit on Christmas Eve, this is a brilliant special that is as genuinely heartwarming as it is funny.  Also worth watching is this year’s equally awesome sequel, Naughty vs. Nice.  As a side note, expressions like “totally tinsel,” “jingle bam” and “oh frostbite” should be a part of everyone’s vocabulary at this time of year.
