Summary: What the First One Should've Looked Like
Review: I wish that this one was the first Christmas Tape and not the third. This video actually had all of the Christmas episodes on it. The first two needed other episodes in order to fill the tape. I wish all three of them had completly all new episodes on it. Toby had a little lamb was ok and Jack Frost was pretty pointless. The other one featured Thomas with a new snowplough unlike his regular blue one. The other three episodes were good but they were on the other two tapes. Thomas's Christmas Wonderland featured one new episode and it could've just been on this one. Thomas's Christmas Party had the other two but the other episodes on it were ok. I would recommend this one instead of the other two and it's not bad.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Good Release
Review: If I was a Thomas fan in America I would feel slightly short changed that this DVD features 3 episodes that have been on other Thomas releases meanwhile in the UK, a new Thomas DVD features 8 brand new episodes made in 2003 and never before been seen anywhere.

I am confused as to what is going on exactly, not all of the 2002 season has been released in any country yet but a new season has already been made only one year later and is being released in the UK already(?)

Anyway, about this DVD-

Thomas's Snowy Surprise Story David Mitton, Writer James Mason(Titled It's Only Snow in UK) Thomas gets into trouble with a Christmas Tree when his snow plough breakes down.

Jack Frost, Story David Mitton, Writer Paul Larson- The engines are convinced that Jack Frost is just a legend but when Percy stays out on a freezing night, they are in for a big surprise!

Toby Had A Little Lamb, Writer Jenny Mcdade. Toby is the only one who can help Farmer Mcall get through the snow with his new baby lambs.

Those first 3 are all brand new episodes then comes-

Snow, 1998. Rusty tells Thomas the story of Skarloey's adventures in the snow during an avalanche.

Thomas's Christmas Party, 1984. Thomas and friends help Mrs Kindly who is trapped in the snow and then have a special party to celebrate.

Thomas and The Missing Christmas tree, 1986. Thomas is on a mission to collect the Christmas tree but heavy snow leads to trouble, can Thomas make it home for the carrols?

It would be hard to better the previous Christmas song "Snow Song" but this new Christmas song "Winter Wonderland" is just as good and would be enjoyed by all.

So overall this DVD would bring a smile to any Thomas fan this Christmas, the new episodes are pretty good and although it is a bit annoying to get 3 repeats, they ae classic episodes and the song rounds it off nicely.
Definetly recommended!

Summary: Overlaps With WINTER WONDERLAND
Review: If you are expecting an "all-new" Thomas DVD, this is not it. There are a few stories here that appeared on the earlier "Thomas' Winter Wonderland," which was a stronger collection. I have mentioned this on other Thomas DVD reviews, but once again it seems that Alec Baldwin is here and there when it comes to using consistent voices with these characters. Not a bad set (I applaud any new Thomas release), but I found this somewhat disappointing. Now when are they going to release "The Best Of Toad The Brake Van"?

One last question: Are they ever going to put these episodes in order? On many DVDs, stories that relate to one another are clearly out of order. It would be nice if the video folks put a little more care into these things.

NOTE ADDED: Well, they ARE finally releasing Thomas adventures in order. At present, THOMAS & FRIENDS: THE EARLY YEARS is now available (though it really should be called "The Earliest Year" or "Year One" since I have read that is what is covered in this three-disc set). I hope there are more sets released.

Summary: good stories
Review: my son can watch these movies over and over again, and he loves doing all the actvities and extras that are included on the dvds

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A sequel to Christmas Wonderland
Review: Now, after buying "Finding Nemo" on DVD (Nemo's my favorite movie), I was dying to get "Snowy Surprises" after Thanksgiving. I was looking forward to the three all new episodes. I really really enjoyed them. I thought this was a sequel to the previous Thomas Christmas DVD "Thomas' Christmas Wonderland". Episodes "It's Only Snow", "Jack Frost" and "Toby Had A Little Lamb" were a big surprise. I really enjoyed the other ones as well which were "Snow", "Thomas' Christmas Party" and "Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree". This should be my second or third time ever reviewing a Thomas DVD.

I would recommend this DVD for anyone who loves these two Thomas Videos:

Thomas' Christmas Party & Other Favorite Storeis
Thomas' Christmas Wonderland & Other Thomas Adventures

I would recommend this DVD for anyone who loves this Thomas DVD:

Thomas' Christmas Wonderland & Other Thomas Adventures

Summary: Very very very good
Review: This movie was very good, they best one since volume one. Although 3 stories are ones we have already seen, there are 3 new holiday episodes plus a new music video.
Here are the new stories:

It's only Snow: Thomas must deliver the vilage people there Yule tree but when his snow plow plow brakes Thomas must get through the snow without it.

Jack Frost: Thomas tells Percy about Jack Frost but James discourages him in believing that there is a Jack Frost.

Toby had a little lamb: Toby must get the vet to the farm in time for his Sheep to have babies.

I'd recommend this one to all fans of Thomas the tank engine. It is 1 out of 2 volumes to recieve a solid 10(Thomas gets tricked was the other one) in my book.
