I didn't like the Kingsmas episode.
Hermey's modus operandi is needlessly vulgar and adds nothing to the story. Yukon's character as a satirical capitalist is hamfisted and borderline preachy, which makes Rudolph's remarks about Hatemonger's "Loud, disgusting thoughts" in the final act come off more like a disclaimer by the creators ("We're not racist! It's just satire, bro!") than an organic line in the story.
Considering the creators only release maybe one episode a year, I feel like spending the resources to make a middling Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer parody of all things was a missed opportunity to write something better, without being constrained to the same story beats as the source material.
