You forgot the short, “Peace on Earth”, which was nominated for an Oscar. Classic MGM and Hanna and Barbera remade it in the fifties. The remake was called “Good Will To Men”.

I would have to agree that ‘Frosty the Snowman’ is an all-time favorite of children for decades. It’s probably a bit more befitting than one or two others on the list. I’m also a big fan of ‘A Wish for Wings That Work’ (1991) from Berkeley Breathed and starring Bill and Opus of Bloom County fame. It’s a bit quirkier than the traditional Christmas specials, but still gets the same messages across. Plus, the legendary Frank Welker plays Santa Claus. What’s not to love?

I’d like to give a shout-out to “Frosty the Snowman” (1969) produced by Rankin/Bass. Who didn’t cry when they first saw Frosty melt?

The original southpark thing (from 1995 at least if not earlier) captures the troo meaning of christmas…

Good list!

May I also throw one into the ring?

Ziggy’s Gift

It’s really a lovely little Christmas special, and
VERY well animated!

It’s WAY under the radar, but definitely check it out if you can! I bet it slips into everybody’s top 10!

It’s my own personal favorites, but I would put CHARLIE BROWN XMAS as number one, and add UPA’s MAGOO’S CHRISTMAS CAROL, directed by Abe Levitow. There’s also ZIGGY’S GIFT (1982) that Eric Goldberg and I worked on, and the Oscar winning A CHRISTMAS CAROL( 1972) of Richard Williams and Chuck Jones.
