Plot
[
edit
]
After a successful Christmas Eve show, Mickey wishes the guests a safe trip home. However, Goofy points out that they and the guests cannot leave the House of Mouse as a
snowstorm
has blocked up all the exits. The guests are worried, but Mickey decides to hold a free-of-charge Christmas party for them until the storm lets up. Unfortunately, Donald is not feeling the Christmas spirit. So Mickey and Minnie play different Christmas cartoons to get him in the spirit.
The cartoons they show include Donald trying to ice-skate and constantly destroying snowmen Huey, Dewey and Louie are building in a competition, Pluto trying to get Chip and Dale out of Mickey's Christmas tree, the Mickey version of
The Nutcracker
, along with
Ludwig Von Drake
's "The Science of Santa", Mickey decorating his house in blinding lights that can be seen outside of town, and interviews about what everyone wants for Christmas or feels grateful for.
After all this, everyone, including
villains
like
Jafar
, is happy that everyone is enjoying Christmas. However, Donald still refuses to change his mood, promptly souring the crowd's mood. Upset that everything he tried did not lift Donald's Christmas spirit, Mickey heads to the roof, where he tells
Jiminy Cricket
that all he wanted was for his friend to be happy and enjoy Christmas; Jiminy advises him to wish upon a star. Mickey does so and the star falls into his hands. Mickey returns to Donald, whom he offers the honor of putting the star on the tree. Donald does so, instantly becoming jolly. The star magically begins redecorating the club, turning the wreaths golden and giving the Magic Mirror a Santa hat, while turning Sorcerer Yen Sid's sorcerer's hat into a Santa hat and turning Jafar's staff into a
candy cane
. Various languages saying Merry Christmas appear on the television as Mickey announces
one last cartoon
before a
carol
. Then everyone gathers on the stage, singing "The Best Christmas of All". Mickey wishes everyone a Merry Christmas as
Tinker Bell
ends the film.

Reception
[
edit
]
Zach Gass of
Screen Rant
named
Mickey's Magic Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse
one of their "ten picks for best Disney Christmas Cartoons," writing, "While trying to keep things merry and bright, Mickey shows some entertaining Christmas-themed escapades on screen, as well as a showing of
Mickey's Christmas Carol
before ending in a very touching (though sappy) Christmas song in front of the fire sung by all the characters. It's not perfect, but it's a great way to start."
[24]
Evan Jacobs of
MovieWeb
said, "As you can imagine it showcases jokes, sight gags, and all the whimsical animated moments that Disney films have made so famous over the years. Rich in holiday spirit and soaked in the importance of family,
Mickey's Magic Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse
is a Santa Safe film for any time of year."
[25]
Time Out
ranked
Mickey's Magic Christmas: Snowed In at the House of Mouse
twenty-fifth in their "Best Kids' Christmas Movies To Watch This Year" list of 2022, calling it a "necessity for any mouseketeer in your life."
[26]
