I honestly liked this episode, it was done in such a way that it could fit into continuity. The actual Santa Claus was not directly mentioned and since he never showed up I think that there is still no danger of Humans being introduced into The Lion King Universe. The episode also established that Christmas came to The Pride Lands long after Kupatana, so The the Pride Lands also celebrating Christmas doesn't take anything away from Kupatana. If fact it pointed out that The Pride Lands still celebrates Kupatana.
As for Kion's changing voice, to me this is not a problem. Kion is at the right age where his voice could be changing. As long as Max Charles doesn't get a voice as deep as James Earl Jones overnight it shouldn't be a problem.

That being said I would not be surprised if Kion and Bunga were recast for next season.
Seeing Kion (and the others) aged up in any way would be great, it would indicate that the show actually could be going in the direction I had hoped it would from the beginning. Although it has been mentioned elsewhere on this forum that ageing up the characters might not be an option, due to the merchandising conflict. it would cause. New looks for the characters would also mean new merchandising options. It is hard for me to gauge what Disney will do.
Not to derail this thread, but there was no Red Panda or Snow Leopard in this episode, so those storyboards that were seen in Ford Riley's tweet have to be from another episode.
