✨🎅 New "Prep & Landing" Animation to Premiere This Christmas 🎅✨

A brand-new holiday adventure is on the way! 🎅

"Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol" premieres this Thanksgiving, November 27th, on the Disney Channel, with streaming available the very next day on Disney+.

Viewers will once again get to enjoy the delightful antics of the adorable elves, Lanny and Wayne! Plus, the special will air later in the season on ABC and Freeform as part of their well-loved “25 Days of Christmas” celebration!

According to Disney's press release, this cartoon is "marking the franchise's return after more than a decade, "Prep & Landing: The Snowball Protocol" is the fourth installment in a series of popular animated holiday specials featuring Christmas elves from an elite organization tasked with preparing homes worldwide for Santa's arrival. The new special follows Christmas elves Lanny and Wayne, whose holiday mission goes awry, leaving Wayne convinced he's in major trouble with Santa and accidentally revealing other merry mishaps."

Here's a newly released clip from the cartoon:



These are the previous Prep & Landing Specials:

"Prep & Landing" (2009)
"Prep & Landing: Operation: Secret Santa" (2010)
"Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice" (2011)

Please Note: I haven’t always connected with some of Disney’s more recent projects, especially those with woke content, but I’ve always had a soft spot for this charming "Prep & Landing" series and some of the great Disney classics, like Cinderella, Snow White, Bambi, Toy Story, etc... My hope is that the new special will capture the same innocent, lighthearted fun and sweet spirit that made the previous cartoons such a joy to watch.
