Chip and Potato: Chip's Holiday

On a family vacation, late-night clatters from falling coconuts keep everyone awake, turning a peaceful trip into a sleep-deprived scramble. Chip, a small but determined pup, and her best friend Potato, an adorably snuggly pug, decide to fix bedtime for the whole household. They put their heads together, try a few clever ideas, and rope in friends to reduce noise and make the sleeping arrangements cozier. The movie follows their nighttime efforts and the ups and downs of trying different solutions, keeping the tone light and playful while focusing on comfort and cooperation. No major surprises are revealed, the focus stays on teamwork and kid-friendly problem solving.

Created by Maddy Darrall, Billy Macqueen, and Catherine Williams, Chip and Potato: Chip's Holiday arrived in 2022 as an animated holiday movie tied to the preschool series Chip and Potato. The voice cast includes Briana Buckmaster, Brian Dobson, Chance Hurstfield, Andrea Libman, and Abigail Oliver, aiming squarely at young children and family viewers.

There are no widely reported theatrical box office numbers, as the release was aimed at home and streaming audiences rather than a big cinema run. As a short family feature, it wasn’t positioned for commercial box office performance.

Critical and audience response has been mixed, reflected in a modest 5.1/10 vote average from a small number of reviewers. Many parents and viewers praised the film’s gentle humor, short runtime, and focus on practical problem solving, while some critics found it too simple for older kids. Central themes include family support, calming bedtime routines, and creative cooperation.

The movie strengthened the Chip and Potato brand as a go-to option for seasonal preschool viewing, offering a calm holiday choice for parents who want gentle, reassuring content. Potato’s puckish charm and the film’s soothing pacing made it a predictable pick for family playlists during the holidays, even if it didn’t become a mainstream cultural moment.
