After a season finale that left Puppet History fans stunned, Watcher comes back with Puppet History's second Christmas special, despite obvious questions about whether our hero will be able to show up. And so he does ... in flashback and hologram form, that is. That's our lump of coal - if the Professor is to star in season 5, we don't yet know how and in what circumstances. The puppets in this episode tease Beef Boy will somehow bring him back, but we're fuzzy on the details.
I miss the game show feel and standard format, which this special lacks and the first Christmas special had. We sadly don't learn anything about a historical subject, Christmas-related or not.
But the candy cane is that this special is better than nothing. We get reacquainted with some old friends, with a giant puppet cast and many of the show's human guest stars dropping in for a few words. And there's laughs to go around and a shocking revelation at the end. I'd say this special is good .... canonically good.
