Where:  I borrowed a friend's DVD
Why:  Why not!

Oh wow - was this Christmas special super cheesy.  I loved watching He-Man when I was a kid, but I knew that 20 years later, it would look utterly ridiculous, and I was right.  It was silly. Why does He-Man wear animal skin undies?  And She-Ra's normal outfit is a leotard, but when she transforms, she's wearing a cute little skirt.  And she flies around on a rainbow unicorn.  It's so 80s, I love it!

So He-Man and She-Ra are getting ready to celebrate their birthdays (they are twins - remember?).  Actually, their real names are Adam and Alura (I think that's She-Ra's name).  All their cheesy superhero friends are helping to decorate for a rockin' party.

In the meantime, He-Man, and some creepy looking guy with a creepy looking mustache (maybe He-Man's dad?!?) have built a 'sky spy' rocket ship to help spy on Skeletor.  He-Man's doofis magical flying guy hops in the rocket, and accidentally launches it.  He crash lands on … guess where … Earth, where Christmas is a few days away.

Doofis magical flying guy runs into 2 young kids who are lost in the woods looking for a Christmas tree.   They are cold, so they go to the rocket ship to warm up.  Doofis magical flying guy  asks the kids all about Christmas, since he's never heard about it before.  The young girls talks about presents, but the older boy mentions that it's not all about presents.  He tip toes around the religious reason for Christmas.  I am proud of this cheese ball Christmas special.  It's now all about Santa and presents.  It's more about the real reason for the season.  Kudos He-Man!

Well, of course He-Man has the power to bring back the 'sky spy' rocket back to Eternia (their planet).   Well, the kids are still stuck in the rocket ship, so they come back to Eternia too.

The kids tell He-Man and She-Ran all about Christmas.  And the story spreads to their cheesy super hero friends as well.  Even Skeletor gets in on the Christmas spirit!

I don't think this special is on TV any longer, but if you have Nexflix, check it out!
