Note that I didn't include the Snow Devil from "Scooby on Ice!" (Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?) as a villain, since unlike the Snow Ghost from "That's Snow Ghost" which he's based off of, he's not explicitly stated to be a Yeti.
I'm going to present last week's poll results a little differently than usual. I showed you my list of my favorite Scooby content from last year, so I'm going to present the results as the collective list that you all made with your votes. Note that MG Collectibles Figures, the Scooby-Doo x Glamlite Makeup Collection, and the Mystery Machine Air BnB all received zero votes, so they will not be included in this list. 6. (Tie) Daphne & Velma Book 3: Buried Secrets and Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries Both of these just got one vote each, but I'm glad the former option was able to show up on the list. Even if it was my least favorite of the Daphne & Velma books, I still thought it was a super solid ending to the trilogy. This series deserved more recognition than it ended up getting IMO. With Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, I haven't checked out any of the reboot series so I don't have anything to say about it. 5. (Tie) Wendy's Scooby-Doo Pop-Up Mysteries and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? Comics These two options tied, but they just barely made it on the list with only two votes each! While I personally haven't been following the Where Are You comics, the fact that they've finally stopped using stock art is a welcome change. 4. MultiVersus MultiVersus is our first option that didn't just make it on here by a couple votes. Six people voted MultiVersus as their favorite thing in the Scooby franchise this year. I know this was a dream come true for a lot of people that were wanting Shaggy to be a part of the Mortal Kombat franchise, so I'm really glad this happened! 3. Mystery Incorporated YouTube series Even as someone who writes fanfiction, I didn't have high expectations for this. Admittedly, I wasn't even planning on checking this out right away until one of my friends in the fandom recommended I watch it, and when I did, my expectations were far exceeded. I am so excited for the next episode and I'm really hoping we'll get it in the next few months. Although this is a surprising addition to the year-end list, this definitely earned the 14 votes it got. 2. Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? The Complete Season 2 DVD I was a little surprised this came out so high with 16 votes. I honestly was expecting the Mystery Incorporated YouTube series to come in second place, but this is certainly a worthy contender too. Although I like the ease of streaming services, I still think there's something to be said about DVDs. Even as someone who isn't into the collecting element of the franchise, there's something so gratifying about physically owning a piece of media (not to mention that there's also no risk of it being suddenly removed like there is on a streaming service). I was really disappointed that they seem to have skipped over releasing Be Cool, Scooby-Doo season 2 on DVD, so I'm glad we got season 2 from Guess Who on DVD. I'm a big advocate for getting all the unreleased episodes on DVD, and we haven't gotten one in a long time now, so here's hoping they'll pick up the DVD production a bit in the coming years and maybe finally get some of those missing episodes out. 1. Trick or Treat, Scooby-Doo! There was no doubt in my mind that this was going to come out on top, and it did by a huge margin. This got nearly triple the votes of any of the nine other options here, totaling out at an impressive 47 votes. As I've mentioned, I love that this movie tried something different after the constant crossovers we've been getting over the past few years. I hope we get something in this same tone again for the next DTV. Happy New Year to everyone! While 2022 was personally a great year for me, it was a very rough year for Scooby-Doo content. I'm really looking forward to seeing what 2023 brings. I'm excited for Velma next week, and I'll be doing reviews of every episode on the blog regardless of how bad or good it is. I've also got a few surprises hopefully coming for you all soon, including a fun little article on Tuesday that I'm excited to share with you all!

7. Same here. It is definitely the one I watched the least on that set 1/3/2023 03:17:32 pm
5. I watched it again since my last comment and it was definitely better than I remembered. I really like the randomness of the episode too haha.

The Top 3 are The Snow Ghost, Ghost of Bigfoot, and El Chubacabra.

Same for me! I could easily see those coming out as the top 3 in the overall poll results too.

I’m going with That’s Snow Ghost. That was a classic episode and he used to scare me when I was a kid. Especially, when he had pupils.

I’m going to guess this will be the winner. Although I’m rooting for “The Ghost of Bigfoot,” I think this one is more widely acclaimed as a classic among the fandom.

That's Snow Ghost (Great)

Nice rankings! Yeah, the only reason I included Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico in this poll is because the Chupacabra is referred to as the "Mexican Bigfoot" in the movie.

This episode had a very unique villain given the setting! I liked the Yeti more than I remembered on my recent rewatch of the episode. I agree the freeze powers were cool. I also found Velma's obsession with finding out why a Yeti would be haunting a restaurant funny. The culprit was super obvious here. There was a lot of great humor in here, and I liked the Daphneism. I forgot about her pretending to be a stand-up comedian as one of her Daphne du Jours of the week. The ending was super funny!

That's Snow Ghost for me! It was one of the first episodes of Scooby Doo I had ever seen so that makes it the first yeti mystery for me. So it’s very nostalgic for me! I loved how the gang piled on top of Velma and she just accepted it lol.

That's so cool it's one of the first episodes you ever saw! I think it's funny how they address the gang piling on top of Velma later in Be Cool, Scooby-Doo haha.
