When the Delightful Children From Down The Lane frame the Kids Next Door for raiding Santa's workshop, the KND must battle Elfa Strike to clear their names and find out what's really going on this Christmas. I thought that this was a perfect Christmas episode of "Codename: Kids Next Door". The storyline was very creative and handled very well. I'm super impressed with a Christmas storyline like this. The action was very good and can be quite dark in some parts. Some of the parts in this episode were pretty dark and the green faces that the sleigh give the Delightful Children and Numbah Four might frighten some young children. This episode did have some very funny parts that gave me a good laugh. Only nit-pick was that the substitute teacher villain was getting on my nerves just a little. It was nice for Numbah Three to give Numbah Four a present even though all he gave her as a present was french fries. The part that did make me laugh was when Santa Claus was reaching for Numbah Four's french fries then Numbah Four hits Santa's hand and says "Santa, get your own fries" then Santa says "Oh, just one" and then Numbah Four responds "no". Overall, a very creative and excellent Christmas episode of "Codename: Kids Next Door". 10/10moreless

When the Kids next door are framed for stealing Santa's gift making machine, the elfa strike team confronts them, but after finding out it they didn't do it, they travel to the North Pole to catch the real culprits.

Good Christmas episode, giving a different twist on how Santa might visit all of the children of the world in one night, I liked the scenes between numbuh and 4, when numbuh 4 gave her the fries I thought she was going to get even madder, but she liked them. A great episode, just shows it doesn't pay to be greedy.moreless

It's Christmas time again, but the Delightful Children from Down the Lane are panning to ruin it for everyone else! But not if the Kids Next Door and Elfa Strike have anything to say about it!moreless

I really liked how this episode was introduced by an announcer (Tom Kenny, I think) in the style of Stan Lee. And it was cool how they based "Elfa Strike" after specific X-Men, right down to the names! (Wintergreen - Wolverine, Coniferous - Colossus, Snow Angel - Storm [and from what I could tell maybe a bit of Angel and Iceman], Nutcracker - NightCrawler]. Plus, we got to see hints of Numbuh 3/4! This is defiently a great holiday episode!moreless

I always knew Kuki and Wally liked each other.

That was so hilarious when Wally gave to Kuki french fries for Christmas. It wasn't much of a gift, but at least Kuki liked it.

This episode has been another proof of romance between Wally and Kuki. It's totally obvious.

It was also funny when Santa wanted the french fries, and Kuki said, "Get your own!"

I really enjoyed it. Romantic indeed.

Operation N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.- The Kids Next Door are attacked by the Elfa Strike (X-Men Parody) for supposedly stealing Santa's "reindeer" but did the really? Or Is it just a trap?

Operation N.A.U.G.H.T.Y.- This was better than I expected. Personally, I thought it would be just another run of the mill, holiday episode. Yet I watched this a few days after Christmas and it doesn't feel weird too watch it. They made an episode with holiday spirit but no so much that you can't bear to watch it after the holidays are done with. It definitely was funny with the whole "12 Days of Christmas" defense mechanism and some other scenes. Yet when Kuki gets all power obsessed it got really freaky. Overall it was one of the better holiday specials. I give it a 9.5 out of 10. .5 off for how scary power obsessed people look!moreless

Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- The Nightmare Before Christmas Wintergreen uses this line in reference to the 1993 Tim Burton film. Edit
- Elfa Strike: X-Men meets Alpha Flight. The name Elfa Strike alludes to the Canadian-based superhero team in Marvel Comics called Alpha Flight. The 4 members of Elfa Strike, on the other hand, correspond more closely to four members of The Uncanny X-Men: Wintergreen (Wolverine)--short, burly, bad-tempered, likes to scrap, distinctive cowl style, 3 candy cane claws in each hand, bones laced with peppermintium (adamantium), calls people "bub". Nutcracker (Nightcrawler)-- German accent, born misshapen, acrobatic, teleporter, uses words like "fraulein" and "liebchen". Snow Angel (Storm)-- African-descent, white hair, serene, can control snow. (weather) Coniferous (Colossus)-- Russian accent, tall and well-built, transforms his body into pine needles (metallic material). Santa's Reindeer (Cerebro)-- No real reindeer are seen. Santa merely sits in a sophisticated computerized room similarly designed liked the Cerebro room at the Xavier Institute where he determines which kids have been naughty or nice. The latter get good gifts, the former, coal. Edit
- The Partridge Family At the climax of the Elfa Strike's Twelve Days of Christmas attack, a pear tree falls onto Numbuh 3 Three. The man seen emerging from that tree bears a strong resemblance to Keith Partridge, the oldest son of the family portrayed by David Cassidy from the 1970-74 TV music/comedy series. Edit
