Going back quite a few more years I remember in the early 60's watching "The Wizard Of Oz" on our first color TV. This was aired and watched by my family almost every year around Christmas time for more years than I can remember. I believe it is still broadcast from time to time to this very day. A timeless classic that we never got tired of watching.

I remembered a few of these. As a kid I remember how after Thanksgiving we started checking the TV guide to when our favorite Christmas shows would be on. Claymation was great, even better than animation in my opinion. Remember those great commercials, like the Norelco razor one? Great times. I have to admit, that even as a 59 year old man, I generally watch the original Charley Brown Christmas every year as well as some of the other old specials. I also love A Christmas Carol, although my favorite version is the 1951 version with Alastair Sim, but the George C. Scott version is right up there also. Thanks for taking us back Rhetty.

Hi Rhett! In Sweden about half of the total population (approx 4,5 million people) will gather around the TV at 3 pm on Christmas eve (the day we celebrate christmas here) and watch the show ”From All of Us to All of You”. This swedish christmas ritual has been going strong since 1960. 👍

A really nice festive look into the 1980’s. I’ve seen a good chunk of the specials that were made in the 80’s and some of them I have reviewed. A leprechaun’s Christmas is one of my favorite Rankin Bass specials and Mickey’s A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite animated Christmas specials of all time. Christmas comes to PacLand was a real interesting special. I find it weird that Santa travels around the world and he has never heard of PacLand. Plus he had a negative attitude when the ghosts took Santa’s stuff. Basically Christmas comes to PacLand is a special I recommend people check out. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus is a really interesting take on Santa’s origin story. It’s like a mixture between The Lord of the Rings and Santa Claus is comin to town. That special is something that I totally recommend.

That was the Star Wars Holiday Special from 1978. It involved Chewie and his family (this was before Ewoks were a thing.) The original idea was to make a new Star Wars Holiday special each year. However, the first one embarrassingly tanked so badly that Lucas stowed it away and pretended for decades that it just never happened. I remember watching it when it aired. Star Wars was so huge that anything that had its name on it was gold... until that happened. My brothers and I were left dumbfounded and near tears because the name of the golden movie was now tainted. It's on KZitem for your morbidly curious viewing. It's just as bad as I remember but I can laugh at it now.

I'm going to hell for this. There is a ridiculous Cavalcade of Christmas specials that nobody remembers. Nearly every Saturday morning cartoon show and the 1980s had a Christmas episode as an example some of which were truly weird. There are also a lot of Christmas specials done by different networks that only aired one year and were forgotten. The guy who played Al Bundy did a half hour Christmas special where he played the Evil owner of a toy company something similar to Scrooge and if I remember the story correctly and the end of it the guy was no less dark and evil than the beginning LOL basically I think the storyline was that the ghosts fail to change the characters ways I think he was trying to take over for Santa or something like that. It was literally made back when married with children was in its prime. Married with Children had I think more than one Christmas special LOL. Dinosaurs had at least one Christmas special again that's one of the weirder trippy ones. Smurfs I think had more than one Christmas special at least one Inspector Gadget had a Christmas special as another example the littles had a Christmas special. If I remember correctly mask had a Christmas special as well and GI Joe I believe had one if memory serves me Cobra got into toy donating in the Christmas special. There are so many forgotten 1980s cartoon shows that had Christmas specials pretty much anything Hannah Barbera had fingers on had at least one Christmas episode Herculoids as an example I believe had a Christmas one and there should be a Christmas episode of space ghost if I remember correctly inch high private eye and Grape Ape also I believe had Christmas episodes and the Wacky Racers I think had a Christmas episode. Yogi Bear had more than one Christmas episode if I remember correctly. Yes I was a child of the '80s LOL a lot of Christmas specials were never aired in syndication and just got aired once.Bravestar Ghostbusters and the Real Ghostbusters all had Christmas specials as another example, there are two unrelated Ghostbusters cartoon series if people don't know that.

Hi Rhett. I can remember an animated Christmas special call The Tiny Tree which aired in the 80's . I can't recall the exact year and I've never seen it since. It was narrated by Buddy Ebsen . It was about a sick little girl who saw this little pine tree in the distance and the gist of the story is the animals in the forest cut it down and moved it near her window and decorated it . I would like to see this again but have never been able to find it.

Here's a fun fact for you Rhett: One of my cousins on my dad's side was the Art Director for Mickey's Christmas Carol. He actually mentored me when I was learning art and design in school. I was planning to follow in his footsteps and become a Disney illustrator, but I ended up going a different direction. He and I still keep in contact, though, and we're both still doing art on a professional level.

They were fun but so many from the 80’s didn’t pass the test of time like those from the 60’s. George C. Scott was my favorite version of Scrooge. Hi Jodie! 👋😁🇦🇺

I always preferred the Albert Finney version of Scrooge, but both are great.

You're right about that Paul. There were some great ones from the 60s and probably some of the best of all. Thank you for watching!

The Christmas specials on TV every year, were the official kick-off of Christmas. My favorite is The Peanuts Christmas special!!! It was meaningful, a lesson and a way of getting everyone together for Christmas. This was so interesting and fun. Thank you❣️ 🎄☃️🕊️❄️🎄

The version of A Christmas Carol in which George C. Scott plays Scrooge is my favorite. It follows Dickens' original story very closely. George C. Scott's portrayal of Scrooge was fantastic.

It was a great one, though my favorite is from 1999 where Sir Patrick Stewart played Scrooge!
