Our take
A Paw Patrol Christmas is a TV-G holiday special on Paramount Plus and Netflix. Santa catches a cold and Mayor Humdinger tries to steal presents from the North Pole, so the pups must save Christmas. Expect mild cartoon chase peril, a sick Santa, and classic PAW Patrol teamwork with no language, substance, or scary content beyond silly villain schemes. Fine for preschool PAW Patrol fans
Uplifting themes
Teamwork, generosity, and saving Christmas for everyone Ryder and the pups model helpfulness and holiday spirit
Story (may spoil tone)
Rubble is looking forward to Santa bringing him a new laser drill, but finds that Santa has come down with a cold and can’t deliver any presents. When Mayor Humdinger decides he’s going to the North Pole to take all the gifts for himself, it’s up to the PAW Patrol to stop him.

Talk after watching
- The pups help when Santa cannot deliver gifts. How can kids help others during the holidays?
- Mayor Humdinger tries to take presents for himself. Why is sharing important at Christmas?
