Snark and snappy tunes make this next special a totally must-love event. A major character arc makes it gripping. The cheesy warmth makes it Christmas.

A Garfield Christmas – Starting out with Garfield ‘tude in spades, as Garfield fantasizes about a Christmas in which he is obscenely spoiled, A Garfield Christmas dissolves into a saptastic cheese-fest within twenty minutes. Garfield finds the spirit of giving, makes nice with Odie, and gets snuggle-happy with an old lady.

I smile in secret.
