In Arthur Christmas (2011), an Easter egg is displayed quite subtly in the way a Shaun the Sheep doll has Steve standing on it: that's another Aardman Animations favorite being trod on.

The gesture shows the playfulness that extends from Aardman's animated universe as it creates more fun with its movies for the viewers.

Shaun's cameo makes the viewers feel like those lovable quirkiness that Aardman is popular for and is a perfect blend with holiday cheer and with the film's inventive style of animation.
