The TMNT and their Mutant Town neighbors celebrate the holidays, but not everyone is enjoying the times. The Turtles feel the absence of Master Splinter, tensions are rising in the neighborhood, and a new threat is emerging. Can the Turtles find their way back to the spirit of the season before disaster strikes?
Holidays are a joyous but also bittersweet time, and no one knows that more than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and their allies. Every issue of this series does something truly special, delivering a fully fleshed-out character-heavy and emotionally deep world, and this issue takes that a step further. A remarkable issue full of emotional highs and lows that proves this creative team can truly achieve anything. Read Full Review
With this book IDW has published the only holiday special that I will be reading in awhile, and even though it came out of left field, now I can say that I spent the holidays with my family on these pages, and I'll be damned if these Turtles don't make you feel more welcome and warm than a room full of humans ever could around a yule tide log.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124 was an excellent, can't miss issue for fans of the TMNT franchise. Sophie Campbell showed great trust in Ken Garing to deliver on the impact story she outlined without any dialogue. Garing's artwork shines throughout this issue as he is able to get over how important family is to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. It is a strong way to conclude 2021 for this series and I look forward to what is next for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2022. Read Full Review
Even with some stumbles, Campbell and Garing have put together an intimate portrait of the Turtles family. It's an issue likely to warm readers from the inside out on a cold winter night. Read Full Review
Without the need for dialogue, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124 hits on several of the themes of the current arc offering a melancholy Christmas for all concerned, but one at least where the Turtles know the weasels are safe. Saki continues to help where he can as we wait for the former nemesis to eventually reveal himself. Read Full Review
A silent comic where the art didn’t quite do it for me.
Big fan of Sophie Campbell and liked the concept of character day to day life focused stories post issue 100 at first, but this current run is really starting to drag and feels like it's treading water. I've loved many silent issues but feel the images just weren't strong enough to show a compelling story. I love the turtles and will stick with the series but really hope things start to improve.
