Synopsis: " A mystical snow globe pops up."

Martin Mystery is quite an underrated gem. It's created by the same team behind Totally Spies, and while they have some similarities, this show manages to stand out in its own right, and episodes like this show why. Martin and Diana are called to investigate a report on missing people, and stumble upon a Christmas town run by a man named Clifford, who rules the town with an iron fist. One thing I like about the episode is its atmosphere. It's essentially a twisted version of a Christmas town where you can live happily if you follow the rules, but you'll get punished if you disobey. It's all kinds of creepy in just the right ways. Plus, Clifford's is actually pretty good since he just wants a perfect Christmas, eliciting some sympathy from him. There's some nice action and plenty of humor and feels, but the moral is great in that you shouldn't obsess over the holidays. It's pretty good.

Side Note: Martin Mystery and Diana Lombard are voiced by Sam Vincent and Kelly Sheridan.
