Lilo is teaching Stitch about the holiday spirit and traditions. But when Stitch sees an experiment pod being wrapped for Gantu he goes to extreme lengths to try and retrieve the pod. When Lilo, who doesn't know what's going on sees that Stitch has stolen the town's presents, she starts to wonder if Stitch is turning to his original bad self again. she turns to Jumba for help, When they find out through one of Jumba's methods, that Stitch was simply trying to retrieve the experiment pod he saw being wrapped as a gift so that gantu can give it to Hamsterviel as a Christmas gift, they discover the reason behind the stolen presents and set out to retrieve the pod before Gantu can get his hands on it. Meanwhile, Jumba and Pleakley are also learning about Christmas, and the meaning behind it, with Pleakley dressing up as the family Christmas tree(lol). At the end, after some antics in the shopping square, everyone comes together in the spirit of Christmas, even Gantu after an encounter with a little girl, realising that Christmas isn't only about getting presents, it's about giving too. Experiment 025 or Topper is activated and turns out to be star shaped and glowing, Originally designed to be a signal he found his one true place as the star on the town Christmas tree

A wonderful holiday special from Lilo and Stitch, with everything from fun holiday antics to the true meanings behind the Christmas festivities and what Christmas is really all about. A delightful episode which will touch your heart(ESPECIALLY at the end) :)moreless

this episode was okay and since this was one of the first episodes i watched disney i remember that's where i learned gantu's name.

it was a nice thought that gantu came up with the gift idea (although it was to try and get him of his back)

a better thing to send hamsterviel would be

1-a nail filer
2- a phaser
3- something
4-a ship ready for him to fly off with

stitch goes bannana's hunting for the experiment pod and topper becomes a star thing

maybe for other days of the year he lights up hawaii a bit though his purpose was laugh

topper: creates bright light so habitants cant sleep.

sounds more irritating................moreless

Holiday special NOOOOOOO....

"Terrible"

By Pyreo, Aug 19, 2005

Decent experiment, check. Somewhat believable storyline, check. So what's with the low rating? The simple fact that Christmas Specials are hardly ever enjoyable and not ones you'd want to watch again.

Just the amount of Christmas junk floating about isn't very appealing. It's not the show's fault, but this seems to happen with all Christmas Special cartoons or series. There are a few good lines, but not enough to redeem it.

A signal beam experiment isn't a bad idea, it doesn't look half bad and it's safely in the early numbers before Jumba started doing evil things. But what on Earth does Topper do for the other 364 days of the year? Poor guy. I already pity him because he got the worst luck when it comes to being named.moreless

This episode is a pure classic! ! ! It showed really how much the other Experiments mean to Stitch. . . . . . . . . .

It really showed a different side of Gantu as well. . . It showed a softer side that was penetrated by a little girl. . . . . . .

Also it was the second best animated show Christmas episode. . . . Second to Kim Possible's X - mas episode. . .moreless
