I remember coming across this groaner of a CG Christmas film on YouTube a year ago (or possibly 2 years ago) Here's what i remember It focuses on a couple of kids that WANT to celebrate Christmas but have to spend it with their grandfather at his severely neglected farm where he forces them to do chores while he watches some game show about winning a pair of pants [not to mention he has a pantry filled with expired donated canned goods] Children were invited to a christmas party in the city but Grandfather doesn't want to go but encourages them to go with no care on his part CG Quality is somewhat in the same league as The Christmas Brigade and The Christmas Lights
If anyone knows this... thing Please find it and yes, I swear this is real
Do you know how long it was? Was it only on YouTube or could have actually released somewhere else? You may not know the answer, but maybe these things will help? Are there any other details you can remember, like what any of the characters look like, even if you’re not 100% sure about it?
I’d honestly love to help, but I’m not that great at searching for stuff like this... so I probably won’t find it but I’ll try.

How "old" did it look? Was it like a VHS rip? Or did it seem more recent in terms of visual quality?
I say early-mid 2000s straight to video budget CG, again - the CG looks similar to that of either the works of Max Lucado or the saga that was both The Christmas Lights and The Christmas Brigade It's likely a VHS rip but could be a DVD rip but idk if there is DVD of it, wish i could look it up to be sure but i forgot its name
What did the characters look like? I could try making interpretations of them.
The grandfather is nearly balding and modestly crotchety dude that sits on a recliner most of the time The kids escape me as i haven't seen most of the special
Ok, so I browsed through IMDB to see what I could find, and I found these. I don't know if any of these are it, but I just went for whatever aired around the late 90's/early-to-mid 2000's
Wait... Scott Cawthon made this? As in, creator of Five Nights At Freddy's, Scott Cawthon? Huh... It really is a small world.
Yup, Scott did some animation work before FNAF and before you ask, no - "Strawinsky and the Mysterious House" isn't one of them he WAS credited but had no involvement in the film apart from inspiring the director [David Hunter] to make the film
