Master Viper is a current member of the Furious Five and a master over the Snake style of Hung Ga Kung Fu. She was born fangless into the highly-respected Viper Clan to her mother and her legendary father, Great Master Viper. She eventually went to train at the Jade Palace under the instruction of Master Shifu, in time achieving the rank of Master and becoming a member of the Furious Five alongside her fellow classmates: Tigress, Monkey, Mantis, and Crane.

Viper is known to be the most gentle and compassionate of the Five, having been the only sympathetic member towards Po when he first arrived at the Jade Palace. She balances this nature of hers with her flexible, fluid and explosive fighting style, often taking advantage of her opponents by wrapping around their limbs and having them attack themselves.

Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special is a DreamWorks-produced, Annie Award-winning television special based on the Kung Fu Panda franchise. The special tells of Po's struggles during the winter holidays when he is caught between his obligations as the Dragon Warrior with his master, and his family traditions with his father at the Noodle Shop. Eventually Po learns to follow his heart, thus showing the true meaning of tradition, community and family.

First broadcast on NBC in 2010 with nearly 6 million viewers, the special received positive reviews from critics and public viewers alike. It won a total of five Annie Awards at the 38th Annie Awards and is now available to own on DVD and Blu-ray.

The Noodle Shop is a popular noodle restaurant located in the Valley of Peace, serving as both a restaurant and home to its owners, the Ping family. Won by Mr. Ping's grandfather four generations ago, the shop currently serves as a family business, protected with a "secret ingredient" in the noodle soup. The shop is currently run by Po's adoptive father, Mr. Ping, who takes pride in the success the shop has gained in his family. The shop has previously been named "Golden Harvest Noodle Restaurant", but ever since Po's success as the Dragon Warrior, Mr. Ping has started to also sell tofu and renamed the shop "Dragon Warrior Noodles & Tofu".
