The Freddy Fazbear Show: A Christmas Story is a holiday special created by KatieSFM. It was released on December 21st, 2020 on the KatieSFM channel. Part 2 is scheduled for December 21st, 2021

Synopsis
It's 2 days before Christmas and Toy Freddy throws a party before Christmas Eve. Circus Baby then informs everyone to have a good time for the party. Meanwhile Santa begins to get ready to set off to deliver presents, but first must make a trip to the north pole to see his elves so they can do some maintenance on his sleigh.

Back at the Pizzeria, Springtrap gets a alert on his radio about a snow storm that is about to hit their area. He quickly rushes to tell Foxy to not let everyone go yet, However King Freddy tells Springtrap that he shouldn't worry, that they would be only stepping out a little bit and would be back soon. The lights in the area begin to flicker and King Freddy askes in confusion what's going on. Springtrap then confirms that the snow storm is coming.

As the snow storm viciously tears apart everything in it's path. It flings a car at Circus Baby. As the car is about to hit her, Nightmare quickly teleports to her and catches the car, throwing it over. He tells her to get inside. As the weather becomes more aggressive, Santa then begins to struggle to take control over his sleigh and eventually ends up crashing. With his sleigh damaged and Santa critically injured, he takes one look at his damaged sleigh before falling face flat to the cement.

Reception
The Holiday Special received UNIVERSAL Acclaim and is considered by many to be one of the greatest episodes of all time. It was praised for it's storytelling, music, pacing, and has the highest rating of any episode ever to date, surpassing Freddy's TV Disaster with a 86%. However, some criticism was directed towards the fact of the absence of the voices. However, Katie has already confirmed that they would be removed from the show until she could get a full voice cast for each character.

Critic Scores

XCalibur- 91/100 - "It's one of the better episodes. Just wish that those "Original Characters" weren't added. It disturbs the flow of the episode sometimes. But it's still a nice gesture for Katie to add her friends in."

Zenrax/Rave - 92/100 - "I give it a 92, better pacing, but ocs were not really needed there."

Sophia - 82/100 - "Great episode, but not a fan of the recolored or oc animatronics (no offense). Like there was a red freddy? A blue bonnie? and a green toy bonnie i dont know. i wasn't sure of why they were there? but i guess it's not a bad thing to add in your friends in things.. i think they shouldn't have a big impact on the story.. it may cause a lot of confusion with some of the audiences as they may not understand why there's other variations of characters"

Maddie - 78/100 - "It was definitely fun to watch. This episode clearly shows that Katie has been learning new things over the past couple of weeks and implanting them into her series. It's fantastic! I want to give it a high score, but I can't....why? Because I have one problem.... I just don't like the addition of these FNAF personas.

''They didn't really do much or add onto the story and it's a little irritating seeing them. Most of the time, they just stood around, maybe said a few things and that was it. It feels like Katie only added them in just because she got pressured into doing so, which is quite sad because these people (who go by these OCS) should not have any power over who should be added. The only character I only found remotely interesting of these "FNAF personas" was maybe King Freddy. That was because he had dialogue that interacted with some of the FNAF characters. Other than that, my expectations for this episode were met. I took off a lot of points because the content of these OCs should of been limited or never even added. They felt unnecessary and unneeded."''

Jolly Skies - 81/100 - "Another fun and thrilling adventure for The Freddy Fazbear Show. Great story so far and overall fun plot devices! The OCS are a slight problem and need to go honestly. I would be fine if it was only King Freddy and Dana who just have slight cameos in the background as an acknowledgement that they're both good friends to Katie. But when you add these other fnaf personas, then it becomes complex and then it causes a domino effect where more and more people will appear. It's called "The Freddy Fazbear Show" for a reason. Not "The OC Squad Show". Keep these OCS out!"

Lindsay - 97/100 - "Very creative and fun episode and stands out a lot more than the rest of the other episodes in the series! I couldn't help but have a good laugh when that snow storm viciously threw things around. I mean it's not realistic, but it's still funny because of how overly exaggerated it is."

Hailey - 82/100 - "''I liked the original story for the xmas special because it was more funnier and we had another writer helping us with ideas, but i am still happy with the results of what this has become. however personally as i've been a writer for this series for a long time.. me and katie both agreed that OCS should of not been a thing in this series, just like a majority of her subscribers wanted and sadly as much as I hate to say this it pains me to see them being added into the series.. i dont like the idea of them being added in for plot or have a impact because it's really dumb and they're just recolored fnaf models with accessories on them. i have no problem with the people who like to make personas for their favorite fnaf characters, i have one myself but i dont see myself ever adding it in for the freddy fazbear show, it just doesn't work..for the show... OUR show and i call it ours because me and katie both worked on this together.. the mistake here was announcing it in dana's server where people would then just DM katie asking her to put them in (big mistake) it makes me angry to see these characters in the show because i dont want them in it and they were added in regardless of the policy''

''regardless, the episode is still great and funny and one of the best right now. katie really outdid herself this one and i cant wait to see part 2. "''
