Ignore the 2 negative reviews. how anyone could not find this 46 mins. of the best TPB ever, is beyond me. great fun to see the origins of some TPB staples/relationships. also fun to see the park in a different season, w/sonw, etc. poignant too! some of the best TPB ever!
Don't listen to Rusty Nails 30 review, if you are a true Trailer Park Boys fan, you will love anything and everything put on film with these guys.
( you can tell by Rusty Nails 30 review that he only saw season 1, so he is most likely not a true Trailer Park Boys fan to leave such a ridiculous and negative review)

The Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special is a prequel to the hit TV series, but was filmed in 2004 after season 4. Sunnyvale trailer park is getting ready for the holiday season and Julian's got a great idea to make money this Christmas, but Lahey is there as usual to spoil his fun. The special takes place before Jamie was J-roc, before Randy and Lahey were a couple, and before the shitmobile was missing a door. You haven't seen a male prostitute until you've seen Randy in his elf outfit. This show isn't for everyone but if you love to get drunk and laugh your arse off at a bunch of stoner Canadian's you will love this. It's perfect for entertaining friends at holiday.

Having just been exposed to TPB on a recent visit to Montreal, I brought back seasons 1-4 on DVD and just got the Xmas special in the mail. Why this hasn't made it to the States is beyond mysterious to me. Too rough? Too white trash? Nope, just too damn funny and it's a crime HBO or Showtime haven't picked this up. There's a whole country full of people like this here... The comments on the boards are right: This one answers all kinds of questions about how and why these characters are who they are. Hilariously sick, this episode is also extremely touching (won't give it away!). Believe it or not, you'll actually learn something about the true meaning of Christmas from Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles. If you're a fan, you know you need this. If you're new to the show, it's better to watch the episodes from the beginning and watch this after series 4. Bring on the movie, boys!
Love the TPB's but this was a lame episode. Didn't have the same feel that the series or the movie has. Looked like it was put together in a hurry. I didn't enjoy it at all. The so-called acting was awful. The cast appeared like they knew this was a money-grab of an episode to get to market quickly. I hope we don't have an easter special next because that will be it for me. The writing of this episode was definitely Mike Clattenburg's worst in the history of this show. The direction left a lot to be desired and I almost felt bad for the cast and crew of this weak attempt at a Christmas special. Like I said, I love the TPB's but this one goes to the trash bin.

- TriviaWhen Barbara brings Randy to her trailer to stay for the holidays, upon seeing Jim he says "Simon?" Implying that Lahey had "acquired" Randy's services before as a male prostitute. Jim then quickly tells Randy to never call him that name ever again, and to only ever refer to him as "Mr. Lahey" which he in fact does, only ever calling him 'James' in one episode of the entire first 7 seasons and the first two films.
- GoofsThis television special is a prequel to Trailer Park Boys (2001) but it shows Bubbles living in a garden shed which he didn't move into until his shack burned down in season two.
