Merry wintry holiday of your choosing! Greg's recording all by himself, which is daunting, but he has a new snow friend to help him get through it: the classic British holiday short, The Snowman!

This episode's got everything you expect from Animation is the Best: some history, some recap, some analysis, some humor... just less of it! Or maybe it's more concentrated. However you find this, I hope the holidays find you happy and the year finds you new!
