A Paw Patrol Christmas

A Paw Patrol Christmas has built a real following in Australia on Paramount Plus, and in the US on Paramount Plus Premium among viewers who do not usually seek out animation. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. With 24 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. A harder one to justify skipping than to start. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Paramount Plus.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, A Paw Patrol Christmas is worth clearing space for. A Paw Patrol Christmas has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. Rubble is looking forward to Santa bringing him a new laser drill, but finds that Santa has come down with a cold and can’t deliver any presents. When Mayor Humdinger decides he’s going to the North Pole to take all the gifts for himself, it’s up to the PAW Patrol to stop him. Luke Dietz and Lilly Bartlam lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2025. What makes A Paw Patrol Christmas more than a curiosity is writing that would hold up in any format. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you have been sleeping on A Paw Patrol Christmas because of the format, the format is not the issue here. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Visually distinctive and narratively ambitious in ways that hold up regardless of format. Worth watching in order from the beginning.
