I always especially loved Hermie the Elf. An elf who wants to be a dentist - there's something about it you just have to like. :lol:

Rudolf used to scare the hell out of me....the show, not the caribou (The proper Canadian/Alaskan name for "reindeer" )

How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer
Frosty The Snowman
A Charlie Brown Christmas
How The Flintstones Saved Christmas
The Year Without A Santa
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

VeggieTales Christmas is pretty cool, too.

My favorites: A Charlie Brown Christmas, Mickey's Christmas Carol, A Garfield Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, all the Flintstones specials (the classic episode, special, and Flintstones Christmas Carol), Inspector Gadget Saves Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Winnie the Poo and Christmas Too.

Don't forget to check out the blog (http://www.sitcomsonline.com/blog/2007/11/happy-thanksgiving-network-holiday.html) from yesterday (Thurs) to see what the broadcast networks are airing this holiday season!

1974's Twas the Night Before Christmas is def. my favorite!! I wish they'd show it again, but I have it on DVD, so all's good I guess.

I also like
Mickey's Christmas Carol
The Chipmunk Christmas

There was this one special I saw where there was a toy tiger that came to life...it wasn't a cartoon, though. I just don't remember what it was called or anything else about it.

Oh, and I loved the Christmas special where the muppets and the Sesame Street characters all came together and the Swedish chef cook them dinner! It was super cute!

My favorites:

A Charlie Brown Christmas
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Frosty the Snowman
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town

Ziggy's Gift (1982; based on Tom Wilson's comic strip)

Where can I find "Ziggy's Gift" or that "For Better or for Worse" Christmas Special?

I taped "Ziggy's Gift." It first aired on CBS on Dec. 1, 1982. Tom Wilson wrote the story, and Richard Williams (the guy who brought Roger Rabbit to the screen) animated it (and voiced the Crooked Santa). Wilson and his son, Tom Jr., did the voices of some incidental characters. Harry Nillson sang the title song. Interestingly, Ziggy doesn't speak in this cartoon, his only animated appearance (to my knowledge).

"For Better or For Worse: The Bestest Present" debuted (in the U.S.) on HBO in December, 1986. I found it on VHS in a mail order catalog (but I forget exactly which one). The special was produced in Canada, for Canadian television. I assume all the actors were also Canadians, as I don't recognize
any of their names; although the children Michael and Elizabeth ("Lizzy") may
have been voiced by creator Lynn Johnston's own kids as the actors' names are Aaron Johnston and Katherine Johnston.

My top 5 are:

Those are all classics. They have stood the test of time and will probably be
around forever. The Christmas television season wouldn't be complete without 'em. :wave:
