Common Sense Media highlighted the program as "a perfect holiday treat for Disney fans and families," noting the inclusion of Aloe Blacc's soulful performance which adds a contemporary musical appeal. However, some viewers on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic observed that the special runs long without deeply engaging new content and largely serves as a compilation of past favorites rather than a fresh and innovative holiday production.
