Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza
SCORE: 78
I am very thankful Family Friendly Gaming
was provided a retail version of Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza on DVD.
This disc contains six episodes. Winter, Christmas, and Hanukkah are
covered in these episodes. The shows featured on Nickelodeon Holiday
Bonanza are Blue's Clues & You!, Blaze and the Monster Machines, Bubble
Guppies, Paw Patrol, and Baby Shark's Big Show. You might notice there
are five shows and six episodes. Paw Patrol has two episodes on the
Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza disc. There will be spoilers in this review.
The names of the episodes on the Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza DVD disc
are A Blue's Clues Festival of Lights, A Blazing Amazing Christmas,
Christmas is Coming, Pups Save a Snowbound Cow, Pups Save the Marooned
Mayors, and Snowball Bonanza. It takes one hundred and six minutes to
watch Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza from start to finish. The Paw Patrol
and the Baby Shark's Big Show episodes really have nothing to do with
any holidays. I can see where that might confuse some families. Just
like when companies tell us something releases holiday in a certain year
- we have no idea what date range they are talking about since there are
so many holidays.
We listen our readers here at Family Friendly Gaming. We get this
question all the time when it comes to any entertainment relating to
Christmas - "Is Jesus Christ referenced at all?" The answer to that
question for Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza is no. Santa Claus is shown and
referenced within Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza multiple times. Nothing
about the true meaning of Christmas within Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza
though.
Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza contains plenty of singing and dancing. The
snowball fight is interesting but a bit odd under the sea. I like how
that Sea Horse realize it was more important to use his speed skills to
win than to try and be a snowball expert. The lessons that kids can
learn from Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza is counting, be kind, be nice, be
good for presents, listen, work together, save others in need, and more.
The break down of the episodes within Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza are
one for Hanukkah, two for Santa and Christmas, and three for winter. I
am kind of surprised Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza was not called Winter
Bonanza, or Winter Holiday Bonanza. I know both of those would be
controversial and highly divisive. It is nice to see Christmas not being
censored within Nickelodeon Holiday Bonanza. That was a practice a few
years back that was also highly controversial and highly divisive.
