According to whom? The special is considered well-liked among fans.


* {{Sequelitis}}: The special is considered one of the lower points of the franchise along with ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'', mostly for its lower-grade characterization and humor and its lack of "heart" compared to the first two ''Shrek'' films.

If you're going to delete a trope, at least give a valid reason for doing so other than you disagree with the opinion/example.

To be fair, donkey does acknowledge how wrong he was to barge into shrek’s house, even if shrek himself clearly handled it the wrong way.


* DesignatedHero: Donkey is presented in the right for having Christmas spirit, but he is seen bothering Shrek constantly about Christmas and invites himself and his friends to Shrek's home uninvited and chaos ensues.
* DesignatedVillain: While Shrek was wrong to lose his temper, he just wanted a peaceful Christmas with Fiona and his children, but Donkey, Puss, and their friends barge in uninvited and things take a turn for the worse and this was even Shrek's first Christmas.



* InformedWrongness: While Shrek shouldn't have lost his temper, can you really blame him for being angry considering that Donkey and the others barged in unannounced, made a mess, and acted incredibly annoying? Now, to be fair, the other characters ''do'' acknowledge that they were at fault, too, but still. Donkey could even be interpreted as realizing this during Shrek's (sincere) apology by trying to get the others to hear him out on what else made him upset.
* UnintentionallySympathetic: Shrek is presented in the wrong for being grouchy, rude, and mean, but he doesn't know what Christmas is and ogres don't celebrate anything and he just wanted a good Christmas with peace and quiet with his family, but Donkey and his friends just barge in and act inconsiderate towards Shrek.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Donkey acts like he has Christmas spirit and is joyful, but he inconsiderately barges into Shrek's home, along with his other friends and doesn't acknowledge Shrek's feelings.
