DVD Review - Duck Dynasty: I'm Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas

It seems like you can't go into a department store without seeing some kind of merchandise, from band-aids to candy bars (Yes, I saw them at Walmart), for A&E's hit series Duck Dynasty. The Robertson clan just released their Christmas album last week and today LIONSGATE is releasing Duck Dynasty: I’m Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas on DVD.

I’m Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas is actually the season finale from the second season that aired on December 5, 2012. In the double-length episode, the Louisiana's bearded camouflaged millionaires celebrate the holiday season.

Every year, Willie gets out of playing Santa Clause at the local church, but his luck has ran out this year. Of course every Santa needs a helper and this is where Uncle Si comes in as Willie's elf assistant, who doesn't exactly brings Santa's bag full of toys, and instead Uncle Si brings a garbage bag full of office supplies.

Miss Kay definitely loves Christmas, as she has over-decorated the inside of her house. Then she spends hours in the kitchen preparing a pirducken (chicken, duck and turkey inside a pig) and of course her famous sweet potato pie.

Jase, Jep, Martin and Godwin have been suckered into putting up the outside Christmas lights for Miss Kay, which has become more challenging than they expected it to be, especially when they find Miss Kay's hoard of decorations.

The Robertson clan can't have a holiday without a great Christmas tree, as Phil takes Miss Kay on a trip to find the perfect tree, which takes a lot longer than Phil thought it would. They do find a tree, but it's a little too tall for the ceiling. Don't worry, as this is why Phil has a chainsaw.

Fans of the series are probably wondering why A&E is releasing a single-episode re-release when I'm Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas appeared on the Season Two DVD. I'll say it is probably because the Duck Dynasty brand is selling well and for fewer than ten dollars the DVD would make great stocking stuffers. The episode is funny, cute and carries the spirit of Christmas. There are not very many television series that are clean-cut like Duck Dynasty. Overall, I enjoyed watching Duck Dynasty: I’m Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas, though it would have been nice to have a few bonus features.
