BW’s Christmas Special REVIEW Playlists

For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day I have some extra fun. Christmas Eve, thanks to official channels, will feature a cacophony of Power Ranger Christmas episodes. Not all of them (even if “Alpha’s Magical Christmas” was available I’d still rather post The Star Wars Holiday Special because at least you can have fun riffing on it) but the ones I want to add to my regular Christmas special playlist on YouTube, which I put in the sticky post every Christmas on the homepage along with the “Yule Log” playlist of Christmas songs, short trivia, and comedy.

Christmas day however will be the last batch of new Christmas specials and special Christmas episodes that will join them and already joined the ones posted this year I didn’t have an opening to post during this December. Hopefully you’ll find something you like, and even something you’re nostalgic for.

Next year however I’ll have two more, one of which I actually should have had this year.

The BW Christmas special reviews are all the video reviews I’ve done on Christmas specials. There’s a surprisingly high number of blind people in the first few reviews, which made for a nice running gag for awhile but I’m glad my selections moved on. Hopefully I’ll get to do more of these in the future.

However, there are more Christmas specials, Christmas comics, and other Christmas media that I can possibly review while God still has me on this planet. So this year I made a new playlist: Christmas Special Reviews By Others. It’s filled with other reviews of holiday entertainment. I hope to build that one up as well but this is a good starter if you’re coming in when I originally posted this. Like my own offerings these are fun or at least informative reviews and also positive towards the story being reviewed. So here are the Christmas episodes worth looking for if I haven’t found them first.

Enjoy the Christmas special post-a-thon over the next two days.

BW’s Daily Christmas Parody Song> The Year Of The Santa Shortage

Catch more from Jordan Keyes on YouTube

Yes, I know it’s a parody, and yet it somehow still works for the Yule Log.

Christmas Special Video> Tis The Season To Be Smurfy

This must be a Smurf Christmas special that I missed when I aged out of The Smurfs. Yes, there was a time I did that. By this point a bunch of new characters had shown up. The Smurflings (kid Smurfs, which raises a ton of new questions about where Smurfs come from), Grandpa Smurf, Wild Smurf (basically if a Smurf grew up in the wild), and we’ve seen Baby Smurf in previous Smurf Christmas specials I’ve posted over the years. (Need to make sure those are on the playlist.) Sadly, Johan and Peewit never get to be in these specials despite Hanna-Barbera having added them to the show by now and the characters’ own comic being where the Smurfs were introduced, originally as a one-time appearance but being popular enough that Peyo was encouraged to give them their own series.

Tis The Season To Be Smurfy was just uploaded this year so now I get to share it with you guys…and see it for the first time myself. Grandpa, Sassette, and Wild decide to bring Christmas to an old couple struggling during the season. Can they and the other Smurfs give them a Merry Christmas? Maybe if they can convince the Smurfs first. And maybe they can deal with a nasty pickpocket and a grumpy rich man along the way. Covering all our bases, are we, Smurfs?

BW’s Daily Video> That Time Santa Visited Luxembourg In WWII

A bit long for any of my Christmas playlists but still something I wanted to share.

BW’s Daily Video: Mayim Bialik Sets The Hanukkah Record Straight

Mayim Bialik has her own YouTube channel

Apparently she discusses mental health issues. She’s an actual neuroscientist as well as an actress. This was recorded in 2017, so it may not fall on her birthday this year. Happy birthday to her if it does or just in general, and happy Hanukkah to my Jewish readers. Also, I didn’t know that about the Menorah.

BW Vs. MatPat’s Santa Calorie Tally

I wasn’t really planning on doing another article until after New Years. I’m taking the post-Christmas week off, spending Monday going over short videos and specials, and depending on when I get Captain Yuletide done for the year post that. (One of these days I WILL make it post on Christmas day again without killing myself and making subpar art for my current skill level!) However, then MatPat over at the Theorist channels had to drop this and it got me questioning, partly thanks to doing Captain Yuletide.

In this episode of Food Theory MatPat tries to make the claim that the milk and cookies (or whatever else is left for Santa in various other countries, one of the things that’s interesting about this theory) may actually be rather unhealthy for jolly old St. Nick. However, while I’m not even close to the biggest expert on Santa Claus, there’s a hole in his theory.
