Winter holiday and Christmas background. Christmas tree background and Christmas decorations with snow, blurred, sparking, glowing. Happy New Year and Xmas. Christmas border of green fir branches with snow, red berries and cones isolated on white. At the Wilmington airport 13 inches of snow remained on the ground on Christmas Day. (This is slightly less than what fell due to compaction of snow from to its own weight) This is the largest snow depth ever reported in Wilmington and made the Christmas of 1989 unforgettable for residents of the the coastal Southeast - children and adults alike.

Plot[edit]

Santa warns people about driving drunk during Christmas, and encourages everyone to enjoy the holiday responsibly. His advice is promptly ignored as the residents of South Park dangerously drive around the city while impaired. The next day, they discover alcohol sales are banned until January 2nd, upsetting the townspeople since they must endure their families while sober. Without alcohol to drink, the streets are empty and the mayor feels South Park has lost its Christmas spirit. She asks Randy (who has now grown a white beard) to resume selling marijuana to the citizens, despite the marijuana season being over. Randy and Towelie try to think of something new rather than repackaging old products. The falling snow inspires Randy to create 'Christmas Snow': marijuana laced with a white substance. The people love it and resume driving under the influence.

The Mayor is shocked to find that Christmas Snow contains cocaine since it is illegal. Surprised, Randy quickly launches a protest and easily gets cocaine legalized in several states. Santa is upset that people continue to drive under the influence, now due to drugs, and marijuana sales are subsequently banned until after the holidays. Randy decides to sell pure 'organic, local' cocaine, without the marijuana 'impurities'. It proves popular and people continue to drive impaired.

On Christmas Eve, Santa steals all the Christmas Snow from people's houses. People begin to panic as they wake up to discover their drugs are missing. Determined to save Christmas Snow, Randy chases Santa until he crashes his sleigh, and argues over the benefits of cocaine. Santa tries the drug and is impressed with the quality. Jesus arrives to settle the dispute, is convinced to try the cocaine, and is similarly won over. In order to return the Christmas Snow to South Park, Jesus levitates it into the air, causing it to snow cocaine over South Park. Everyone celebrates by consuming the drug and driving one more time.

Reception[edit]

Jesse Schedeen from IGN gave the episode a 7.5 of out 10, writing, 'Christmas Snow' isn't quite fresh or memorable enough to rival South Park's best holiday episodes, but it does serve as a fitting cap to Season 23. It also proves the series hasn't quite used up Tegridy Farms as a valid plot device, though it would do well to give that plot point a rest for a while.'[1]

Chris Longo of Den of Geek gave the episode 4 stars out of 5, stating that the episode 'lives up to the presents of Christmas' past.'[2]

Stephanie Williams of The A.V. Club gave the episode a grade of 'B-', saying that the episode presents a 'mixture of specials previously made this season but with a dash of cocaine.'[3]

Dani Di Placido of Forbes thought that the Tegridy Farms joke 'has grown as stale as a wilted marijuana plant.' He also criticized the legalization of cocaine in the episode, saying, 'It's a bit of a strange joke; what's so funny about legalizing drugs? This concept simply isn't countercultural anymore, not in the slightest.'[4]
