Rudolph
Charlie Brown
Garfield
Frosty

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.

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!
