I watch this every year to get me into the Christmas Spirit and it works every time. So much fun and back when the Family Guy jokes were actually funny. Love it.

My favourite Christmas special

The best Christmas episode of any series i've ever seen
ilovefrench14 December 2010
This week I saw all «Brian and Stewie Griffin going to a distant place from Quahog» episodes and I should say that, as for me, this one was the best of them. The story is really intriguing and entertaining, several jokes made me burst out laughing and even musical parts, which usually irritate me, in this episode work quite well. The dialogues between Brian and Stewie are superb, animation is at top level, but, what is more important, this episode perfectly deliver Christmas mood from the beginning to the end. And I think everyone, who watches Simpsons as well, will admit that Set MacFarlane's Christmas story is way better this time.
I put it nine, because, some jokes are quite silly, though, it's not a big deal as there are a lot of brilliant jokes, that compensate them easily.
So don't waste your time and watch it, you'll enjoy it!

Road To The North Pole is a very good hour long Christmas special of Family Guy and watching totally got me into the spirit of Christmas,the start of it was very funny,although once Stewie and Brian get to the North Pole it gets very dark,especially when they deliver to there first house,and the big change on Santas Elfs and Reindeers.
Narrated by Ron Macfarlane,Seth Macfarlanes father,everyone in Quahog except for Brian is getting ready for Christmas,and there letters to Santa are as greedy as ever,after Stewie and Brian go to the mall and wait forever to see Santa and once they get there the fake Santa is done for the night,Stewie decides he wants to kill Santa and heads to the North Pole,Brian tags along to keep Stewie safe.
Once Stewie and Brian make it to the North Pole to Santas Workshop,they discover that Christmas is killing Santa because of how greedy the world is getting,Santa is not fit enough to deliver the presents so Brian and Stewie decide the do the job for him.

The One Where Stewie And Brian Go To The North Pole...

I love this episode. I love the Brian/Stewie adventures. I think my favorite one is the time travel one, or the one where they have to find Mort in World War II Germany. Anyway, this episode is fantastic and will please anyone who likes their adventures.
In this episode, Stewie goes to the mall with Brian to see Santa, but unfortunately, it doesn't end well. Stewie gets so bad that he and Brian decide to go on a trip to the North Pole to meet the real Santa and to teach him a lesson. After they get there, some very funny stuff happens. It's just awesome.
Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which is in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.

My Personal Favorite From the Show

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the few Family Guy episodes that take you on a hell of a ride, and I wish the show had more of these kinds of episodes. I really enjoy all of its themes.
All the songs are spot on, and really add onto the mood. Too bad it didn't win the Emmy it was nominated for.
A lot of people find the dark themes when they get into the second half with the North Pole nauseating and disturbing, but I genuinely fell in love with that part. It's portrayal of a heavy consumerism factory where everyone are mutants and in low morale, on top of a gloomy atmosphere, really packs a punch with me. Usually when Family Guy does shock or disturbing imagery, it's meant as a joke, which doesn't always sit well with me. But here, it's set as the mood, and it really is poignant.
Another small complaint is how the episode had scenes just randomly kind of happen out of the blue to progress the plot. Like Stewie blowing up the truck, or Brian randomly wanting a sandwich. But other than that, It's still a must watch in my opinion.
