Action Pack Saves Christmas
What's the Story?
In ACTION PACK SAVES CHRISTMAS, pint-sized superheroes Treena, Wren, Clay, and Watts help the town of Hope Springs have a merry holiday. They're gearing up for the town Christmas tree lighting when spoiled kid Teddy Von Taker arrives to ruin everything. Can the Action Pack return the cheer to Hope Springs and still help Santa deliver presents on time?
Is It Any Good?
Kids who like the Action Pack series and celebrate Christmas will enjoy this sweet holiday-themed series. In Action Pack Saves Christmas, there's lots of not-too-scary superhero action. Preschoolers will be satisfied by seeing Teddy Von Taker face consequences for his naughtiness, and knowing that Christmas will still happen as planned. While it doesn't have the depth of some other preschool Christmas specials, grown-ups can feel good about the plot that focuses on the joy of giving and helping others.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about Action Pack Saves Christmas and what holidays mean to them. Why does your family celebrate holidays? Why do we give presents to each other? How do the holidays make you feel?
Teddy Von Taker is very selfish, taking everyone's Christmas cheer so he can get all the presents from the North Pole. Why do you think he doesn't think about other people? What would have been a better way for him to get what he wants with out making other people sad?
