Shrek the Halls is a 2007 Christmas Special from Dreamworks Animation starring everyone's favorite green ogre, Shrek.Shrek discovers on the day before Christmas Eve that Fiona and their children — despite Shrek's insistence to Donkey that they don't care about Christmas — are excited for Christmas. Shrek has never celebrated Christmas before, and immediately runs out and buys a book about how to make the perfect Christmas for his family. Everything works out according to plan... well, until Donkey and the others barge into their house for a wild Christmas party.

Strange Minds Think Alike: Donkey mentions early on that "without marshmallows, sweet potatoes are nothing!" Later, when Shrek is shopping at the village, he sees late shoppers in a panic, and one of them is saying the same thing.

The Parody Before Christmas
 Shrek the Halls / int_46c35a34
comment
The Parody Before Christmas: The entire special deals with the characters telling their own version of the story: Donkey's version involves him wandering around in a Christmas-wonderland with a parade and lots of food. Santa himself is a giant statue made of waffle, which Donkey then eats. Puss doesn't even get into the story, because he spends the whole time describing Santa as a "hot, Latin cat" and is then distracted by the fluff on the end of his hat. Gingy's version is a horror story about himself and his girlfriend being terrorized by Santa while hanging out at a Make-Out Point. Shrek's version feature himself as "Ogre-Claus", who shows up to make the house more disgusting, befitting an ogre-family Christmas.

Her Code Name Was "Mary Sue": Puss in Boots' version of "The Night Before Christmas" has him as a dashing "Santa Claws". Shrek's version features himself as "the vile, the foul... and handsome, Ogre Claus."

comment
Bait-and-Switch: The opening shot appears to be a snow-capped green mountain, but is actually an extreme close-up of the bare butt of one of the triplets as Shrek sprinkles it with baby powder. The next scene where the gang tries to douse Shrek's butt that was one fire, only to accidentally douse him in the face, we get a close-up of him about to lose it with a teapot whistling in the background, which there actually was.

My Instincts Are Showing: Puss' story is interrupted when "Santa Claws" notices the pompom at the end of his hat. His eyes grow wide and he starts pawing at it intently. Cut to Puss pawing at a decoration before noticing the others and walking away in shame.

Jerkass Realization: Shrek regrets throwing Donkey and the other guests out after Fiona calls him out on it. Donkey and the others eventually realize that, even if Shrek didn't handle the situation very well, they were also at fault for being incredibly annoying and inconsiderate towards Shrek.

Both Sides Have a Point
 Shrek the Halls / int_c02f148d
comment
Both Sides Have a Point: While Shrek owes his "guests" an apology for yelling at them and essentially kicking them out, Shrek wasn't wrong to feel frustrated at them for impeding on his attempts to have an ideal Christmas. And although they were no better, Shrek's collective friends were only trying to help him celebrate (even in their own ways).

Disaster Dominoes: After Shrek tries to grab the book from Donkey, it goes flying and knocks a mounted head off the wall, which then crashes into the dinner table and flips it over. One piece of food flies into one of the pig's mouths, choking him, and when the others attempt the Heimlich maneuver, the piece comes flying out and knocks over the tree, setting it (and Shrek's rear end) ablaze. The group proceeds to dowse him with water, which finally puts him over his Rage Breaking Point.
