If you're a nice one you could say Parker and Trey Parker and Matt Stone were among the most creative 20-something-year-old's of the 90s, if not you could say their creative process pretty much rested during this and the start of the TV series South Park two years later. In any case, the two are in their early 40s now and the show is two weeks away from going into its 17th season. A truly respectable feat. While many say that it's gotten worse over the years, I think it's still one of the most entertaining animated shows on television and if there was any decline in quality, it was minor.
In any case, this short film is pretty much your usual South Park episode packed in 25% of the running time. The boys are all there and also look pretty much exactly the same on the show. Their behavior doesn't differ much, including the obscene language. Cartman is the prick he's always been. Kenny shall die. And we also get our piece of South Park moral at the end.
It's South Park meets Celebrity Deathmatch as old acquaintances Santa and Jesus battle each other other in their fight to show humanity (metaphorically the 4 kids) what Christmas really is about and convince them that their position is the right one. And as always with South Park, there is no black and white result, but the solution to the issue is all kinds of shades. I'm pretty sure, nobody really watches this before he actually came across the series, but those 5 minutes are surely worth a watch for fans of the show when the newest season goes into Christmas break again.
