Last Train For Christmas is such a gem. We were so lucky to have an episode like that during the CGI era

1:31 I adore with a passion the background gags in the nitrogen era

25:05 And Hiro’s entrance in this episode was (pardon my language) badass

No Snow for Thomas feels like a mix of Thomas, Emily, and the Snowplow, and It’s Only Snow.

1:13 To give them credit for the animation, there is this moment where Thomas’s wheels slip on the ice

Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree has always been my favourite Christmas episode. It’s just so funny, and It was a great finale for Ringo Starr’s narration.

nah you just gave me a flashback to peppas christmas when daddy pig walked home with the tree and the silence creeped me out

I dunno how most of them would rank, but my favourite has to be Last Train For Christmas. I remember being indifferent to a lot of CGI episodes, but Last Train was something special, especially the first time watching it. It was the first time in maybe 15 years where I was actually invested in the story and action...

16:05 this is honestly an absolute masterpiece episode the ending should be better soon

The CGI faces at 5:13 being lit completely wrong against the sunset got me ROLLING

I sometimes think if Donald and Douglas came back in season 18 taking over Hiro's role of pushing the heap of snow aside, it would have been a real banger. I don't mean Hiro wasn't a badass in that scene, but if it were the Twins, I would get even more chills. + Luke is so adorable in Duncan the Humbug. I really like the interaction between Duncan and Luke.

0:00-0:02 C'MON!!! There's no shame in it!

21:28 OMG THE FAT CONTROLLER IS STANDING ON LEGO I CANT BELIEVE I NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE!!!!!

"Last Train for Christmas" is probably the best Christmas/Winter episode out there. Such a freaking gem.

Thomas Xmas episodes Realy hit different tbh

Really Good Video! 👍



Also Can I Ask You A Question?

13: It’s only snow
12: Duncan the humbug
11: Daisy’s perfect Christmas
10: Santa’s little engine
9: Thomas, Percy and the Christmas adventure
8: The last train
7: A Cranky Christmas
6: Letters to Santa
5: Terence breaks the ice
4: The Christmas coffee pot
3: Thomas Christmas party
2: Thomas and the missing tree
1: Diesel’s ghostly Christmas

At first, I wanted Thomas and the missing tree to be in first place. But in diesel’s ghostly Christmas, Thomas helps to show diesel the true meaning of Christmas. The classic series will always be my heart, but this episode really shines. Merry Christmas to all.

I do like "Last Train For Christmas" and agree that it's the best Christmas special, but I always disliked how disconnected the story feels.

I think the episode would've worked sooo much better if Spencer was the main instead of Connor, as him pulling the last train would've been great character development to show that he's being humbled. In addition, it would've made Hiros involvement more meaningful in this story.

In HotR, Spencer wanted Hiro scrapped (for some reason lol). Anyways, this would've been a great showcase to have the two interact and have Spencer feeling guilty still over his past behavior. But Hiro would acknowledge, accept his apology and feelings of atonement, move on, and convince Spencer to let it go and instead, work together to get the last train home. And THEN we transition over to Sodor again where all the engines are working hard.

These changes imo, would've made Hiro clearing the snow much more meaningful because now he's not running away from Spencer, but is instead clearing the path for both the last train, and to symbolically help Spencer move forward as a character


(Oh wow, did I really write all that?)

I really like Stephen and Glynn together and I wish we'd gotten more of that. Their race was comedy gold.

1:24 Thomas Pretty Much Becomes the Grinch.
