Hey everyone, full transparency this one was a bit of a rush job. Some lines were cut, artistic liberties were taken, but wanted to get the video out before Christmas. Hope you enjoy the video nonetheless. Hope you all have a merry Christmas and happy holidays!

My god that’s the part that gets me everytime

Child: "Mommy, why do we not have any presents at Christmas?" Laura: "Because a while ago Daddy tried to kill Santa."

Travis took the "disgruntled Santa's elf" role a lot further than you'd possibly imagine it going in a one-shot. Played it masterfully too, the villainous speeches were on-point and he managed to incorporate many jokes and references.

the whole run up to it, Julie Nathanson's reaction, Ashley and Travis whispering, snickering, Ashley holding the secret but Travis cracking up so hard that Matt catches on and gives him the "I've got my eyes on you" signal, lmao... OMG, this was something ELSE to see as it happened, hahaha... One of my all time favoriate villainous moments from all Critical Role content! Ellory/Julie, "This is the OPPOSITE of what we are supposed to be doing!!!" as Chut is ruining Christmas for the fanfic writer elf, lmao.

And that's how Chutney got a 2nd chance as Chetney, with no memory of his past attempted dirty deed and bound forever to a love for crafting ... with wood. IN A LAND FAAAAAR AWAAAAY

@@lucasbrautigam6781 It's the same character. I forgot he changed a vowel in the name, but it's the same character. Some of his history was modified to fit the current world instead of the xmas one shot, but it's the same guy. Same class, same tools/weapons, same attitude, same voice, basically the same name, the same backstory. It's the same character. There are a few other points I could make, but I don't want to spoil the one shot if you or anyone else hasn't seen it. But it's definitely the same character. I have a feeling that Travis is going to be playing one shot characters he's used in the past and they'll all end up dying throughout the campaign. I think this group of characters is going to deal with a lot of death this time around. If they're lucky, it'll be like Bertrand and they won't be too attached for it to hurt too much, but these guys are great actors and I imagine they'll portray that impact in their characters. I'm expecting good stuff this campaign.

I have never see this animated before thank you

I wrote this right after watching this special for the first time: to the Tune of Frosty the Snowman Chutney Choco-cane Was an ornery ol'e elf With a hentai whip and a chisel pick And his heart left on a shelf Chutney Choco-cane Made his toys of wood and clay But was he surprised when Before his eyes Circuitry had claimed the day There must have been some poison In that cocoa cup he'd foun' For after he'd had his first sip He began to plot at dawn Chutney Choco-cane Was as sure as he could be With his chisel pike And a hammer strike He could kill the Claus, Sandy Down from the North Pole With his Chisel in his hand Hiding here or there or among stuffed bears Saying, "Time to be a man" He led them up, to bug filled butt To pass the cube he hopped And he only paused a moment when He'd heard the bleeding'd stopped Chutney Choco-cane Had to hurry on his way He'd failed his try To kill that fat guy And for now, his crime he'll pay Stabbity, Stab, Stab Stabbity, Stab, Stab Look how Chutney dies Stabbity, Stab, Stab Stabbity, Stab, Stab What is that that rise? Stabbity, Stab, Stab Stabbity, Stab, Stab Hollow One that cries Stabbity, Stab, Stab Stabbity, Stab, Stab Chutney claims his prize Chutney Choco-cane Had a rib or two or three With gleam in eye Sequel worth a try Yells, "I'll get you yet Sandy!"
