Top 5 childhood Christmas TV shows

Reposting my top 10 favourite holiday movies (again) got me thinking about the TV shows I’ve enjoyed since childhood. So, in no particular order, here are my favourite childhood Christmas TV shows (which you can still find today):

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer

The Year Without a Santa Claus (Snow Miser/Heat Miser song)

There’s no trailer for this one, so I found a video of my favourite music number.

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

This one is particularly dated and appears to have been edited for broadcast these days, with a couple of songs cut, but is still a fun Santa origin story.

And that doesn’t even count the many Hallmark holiday romances I’ve been watching this year on W Network!

What are your favourite holiday TV shows?

    I recently watched Rudolph with a friend, in his 40’s, who had never seen it before!
