I don't really know which was the very first Christmas TV special but, as far as I can remember, the first one I saw was "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol". Ever since then, there have been hundreds of them through the years, but only a few have become classics and of those, I have just a chosen few which I never tire of watching during the holidays .
These are my favorite Christmas TV Specials, in chronological order:
MR. MAGOO'S CHRISTMAS CAROL (1962)
RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER (1964)
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS (1965)
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (1966)
SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN (1970)
A PINK CHRISTMAS (1978)
BUGS BUNNY'S LOONEY CHRISTMAS TALES (1979)
MICKEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL (1983)
Other Christmas favorite viewing treats are the hundreds of Yuletide cartoons and shorts that are featured on every TV channel, streaming service and internet pages and which are easily accessed today by anyone.
I will list a few of these in one of my next blog entries.
