Synopsis:

Celebrate the holidays with a special Disney Channel Holiday DVD that features all your favorite Disney Channel stars in holiday-themed stories. Lizzie McGuire, That' So Raven, Even Stevens, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, and Kim Possible each have their own episodes on this unique DVD, that features a bonus never-before-seen episode of "Phil of the Future," and a bonus music video "I Love Christmas" performed by Fan 3.

LIZZIE MCGUIRE "XTREME XMAS" Hilary Duff stars as Lizzie McGuire! It's going to be Lizzie's best Christmas ever as soon as she builds an amazing rock n' roll themed float for the local Christmas parade. Unfortunately, Gordo and her family bail out of float building to help a quirky old man -- who claims to be Santa's elf -- fix the plumbing at his retirement home. Lizzie learns the true meaning of Christmas and gets a magical surprise when the rock n' roll float she never finished shows up in the parade carrying none other than Aerosmith's Steven Tyler belting out a rockin' rendition of 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town.'

THAT'S SO RAVEN "ESCAPE CLAUSE" Raven gets a vision that she will receive a beautiful necklace for Christmas, so she opens the gift ahead of time, then accidentally destroys it. In order to replace the necklace, Raven, Chelsea and Eddie cut class and go shopping where they are discovered by their stern teacher Mr. Petracelli. Starring Raven.

THE SUITE LIFE OF ZACK & CODY "CHRISTMAS AT TIPTON" (NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN) When a snow storm hits and the airport closes, leaving everyone stranded, the only person who seems happy about the situation is Cody, since this means the Martins will have to spend Christmas together. Although tensions rise when the hotel's electrical system breaks down, everyone is brought together for the true spirit of Christmas when a stranded man and his pregnant wife give birth to a baby girl, reincarnating a modern version of the nativity scene underneath the Tipton's Christmas tree. Starring Cole and Dylan Sprouse.

EVEN STEVENS "HECK OF A HANUKKAH" Louis, having just ruined Hanukkah for his family by accidentally destroying the gifts, believes his family would be better off without him and wishes he'd never been born. When the ghost of his great-great-great-great grandmother, the loveable Bubbie Rose, appears and grants his wish, Louis learns how badly his family needs him. Starring Christy Carlson Romano and Shia LaBeouf.

KIM POSSIBLE "A VERY POSSIBLE CHRISTMAS" In the spirit of the season, Drakken, Shego, Ron and the Possible family put their differences behind them to share Christmas... of course, only after several action-packed battles and confrontations. Legendary star of stage and screen Debbie Reynolds ("Singin' In The Rain") reprises her role as the voice of Kim's Grandmother, Nana. Other guest voices include Stephen Root ("News Radio") as Memphis; Lauren Tom ("Grace Under Fire") as Yoshiko; and Ed Hall ("The Tonight Show with Jay Leno"). Starring Christy Carlson Romano as the voice of Kim Possible.

There's not a whole lot more to say than the synopsis blurbs included above - several Christmas-themed episodes from a few different Disney tv shows... pretty straightforward, really. Some were cutesy, some were cheesy, but all were Disney-riffic. Depending on your point of view, that's either very good or very bad.

Video: How's it look?
All episodes are presented in their original 1.33:1 fullscreen ratio and look good. No obvious defects or uglies, so no complaints.

Audio: How's it sound?
Dolby Stereo is clean, clear and easy to understand. Nice.

Extras: What all's on the DVD?

  • a never-before-seen "Phil of the Future" episode
  • Music Video "I Love Christmas" Performed by Fan 3

Closing Thoughts
Some Disney Holiday fun + a couple extras = fun holiday viewing for those interested
