I like the Flintstones christmas episode and The Simpsons ones.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
A Charlie Brown Christmas
The Year Without a Santa Clause

All the Rankin/Bass specials are tops, plus Charlie Brown, also one of my favorites, and it is an obscure one, is "A Wish For Wings That Work." It featured the characters from the 80's comic strip "Bloom County," and it is amazing.

Thanks for replying, I'd have to say the worst specials are Rudolph's Shiny New Year, and Frosty Returns, I didn't like them one bit.

I of course like te traditional ones such as Frosty, Rudolph and Santa Clause is coming to town. However my favorites are Fat Albert Christmas, He-Man/She-Ra Christmas and Little Rascals Christmas. And you gotta love Mr.Magoo's Christmas Carol

Aaaaugh!
"Frosty Returns" was horrible!
That's right up there with "Godfather 3"

Totally useless sequel!

I agree...

I'm hooked on Yogi's First Christmas. Plus, I love the rare ones -- Pac-Man Christmas, Smurfs, Mr Magoo, etc. I plan my days in December by what is on TV. I have several tapes of old Christmas shows that I watch once every couple of months. I try to get the stuff that is hard to find, even if it isn't the best.

Damn, I miss Bloom County. That was a great strip.
TJL, you just made me sad.

OK, all better.

I'll be a little offbeat and add a vote for South Park's Christmas show

My favorite cartoon christmas special without a doubt would be the He-Man & She-Ra christmas special which aired back in 1985.

Olive, the other Reindeer with Drew barrymore as the doggie. Im thinking this will be a future classic.
Loved that scamming penguin. :)

if you've never seen it, when it comes on this year (im assuming it will) watch and record! Priceless.

I agree. Of the Christmas specials that came out the past few years, this one is the best.
Very funny and clever...Not to mention they got Michael Stipe to do a song.

All the Rankin Bass specials except for The Little Drummer Boy and The Leprechauns Christmas.(I think at that point Rankin Bass just simply ran out of ideas.)

A Charlie Brown Christmas (The ultimate classic.)

Yogi's first Christmas

The Simpsons Christmas Special

Ziggy's Christmas (The special is very rare and hard to find now, but very enjoyable.)

Does Rankin - Bass still do shows? I haven't seen anything in ages. I know they have a website, but what have they done lately??

My favorite has to be Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer only because my son tells me that I'm the little dolly at the end of the movie. (Sniff)........ :crying:

Plus he tells me to sing the song.....
There's always tomorrow
For dreams that come true......... (A song in the movie sunged by the doe) :crying:

Charlie Brown Christmas !!

Simpsons christmas

smurfs christmas

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

a year without a santa claus

Flintstones Christmas

Rugrats Christmas

here is my favorite
peanuts
garfield
frosty the snowman the first one

I Almost forgot...

Another great special, which is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year, is "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol."

It has some great songs.

I believe they just released it on DVD to boot.


:)

I've got Mr. Magoo's Christmas on video. You're right, that is another classic.

The TV Guide for the week of November 23-29 has a lot of information about upcoming Christmas programs!

Be sure to look it up.

ABC Family looks like it will have a Christmas show every night throughout December.

Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July Monday, December 2 (7:00 - 9:00 pm ET): Rudolph's red nose is about to become a burned-out bulb and Frosty The Snowman will be reduced to a slightly chilly puddle unless Santa Claus can save them from a fiendish wizard.

^ I have to catch that it sounds really good.

It was OK, but to me it wasn't Christmassy enough.

Did this ever air? Maybe I missed it...

Also, did anyone else find any new/old cartoon Christmas shows they really loved??

present: :santa2: present:

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time to start picking the favorites of 2003!!!

pumpkin: -> :turkey: -> :santa2:

All of 'em :D Which one is Frosty Returns again? I've seen them all so many times they kinda run together.

My favorites (of those I've seen and remember): A Charlie Brown Christmas, Garfield Christmas, SC is Coming to Town (that's the one with Fred Astaire, right?), the Muppet Christmas movies (if they count), How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Rudolph, the Rugrats specials, and what was that one called where the bear cub wanted to stay up to see Santa? The mother bear had Wilma Flintstone's voice. I've never seen the Ziggy one, but I'm sure I would like it, and the Flintstones and Yogi Bear too, if I could remember them.

The one I really hated: Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer.

Was that "The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas?"

No, I looked in the imdb.com, and I think it must have been Santa and the Three Bears.

My Favorites are....

A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)

Rudolph, The Red Nose Reindeer (1964)

Frosty The Snowman (1969)

A Flintstones Christmas (1977)

I cannot stand Frosty Returns it is hardly a Xmas tradition

My favorites(not really in order) -

1. Charlie Brown Christmas
2. Garfield Christmas
3. Rudolph
4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas
5. The Night Before Christmas

I also liked another special that wasn't a cartoon or animated like the Rankin Bass ones, but I thought it was really cute: The Christmas Toy - a Jim Henson production with live kids and muppet characters. It aired in either the late '80's or early '90's. I liked it so much I bought the video!

I never did like the Frosty the Snowman specials much, even as a kid - Frosty just annoyed me.

Now that I've seen Frosty Returns, I can see why everyone hates it. I do like Frosty the Snowman though, if only because Jimmy Durante is in it.

South Parks Christmas special ROCKED!! :rock:,but that wasn't a choice.......all well.

I've got Rudolph, Charlie Brown, Magoo, Santa Coming To Town and Frosty on dvd, and after watching them all back to back just now, I gotta put Frosty at the bottom of the list. Even when I was younger, it never did much for me. My top five can be in almost any order, I love each one of those.

Time to bump this thread up... what are you looking forward to (new and old) this Christmas?

It would be great if they would show a Garfield Christmas again. I haven't seen it for at least a couple of years. The same goes for the Muppet Christmas Carol.

I like Rudolph, Frosty, Santa Claus is coming to town, Little Drummer Boy 1+2, A Year Without a Santa Claus, Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol, The Grinch, Charlie Brown Christmas, All of the Flintstone Christmas Specials, Christmas comes to Pac Land, Yogi's First Chrismas, and Fat Albert's Christmas Specials

Arnold's Christmas is a great Christmas special. A bit of a tear-jerker though. There aren't too many people who'd exclude "A Charlie Brown Christmas," or "Rudloph the Red-Nose Reindeer" from their lists. I still like "Beavis and Butt-head Do Christmas," and I agree that "Olive the Other Reindeer" is destined to be a classic.

the first Charlie Brown Xmas was by far the best one ever, though the Grinch was funnier!! :D

Yogi's First Christmas, it was awesome to me. And Our Gang Christmas
