My dad recorded a bunch of old Christmas specials off of TV back in the day, and I still watch the tape every year on Christmas Eve. It's about six hours long, and contains everything from Rudolph and Frosty to Claymation Christmas and Winnie the Pooh.
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.
One of the specials that remains strong in my childhood memories is “Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.” First aired in 1978, it was re-aired for several Christmases after that, and I always looked forward to it; the songs are great, and seeing a human sized Oscar the Grouch running around as a literal garbage can with feet cracked me up as a little kid. I should hunt it down to watch this year. :)
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 Garfield: Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas specials are still popular. All three are on UA-cam and were also released together on a DVD collection.
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.
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. 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.
A chipmunk Christmas album..... We listened to that every year while setting up the tree. Will always be Christmas for me....... No matter how much it annoys my husband 😂
I miss seeing the California Raisins Christmas Special. It was truly fun claymation and the music was wonderful. I wish they brought it back for the newer generations.
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.
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. 👍
Hey, Rhett. It's been a while since I made a commitment on your channel. This has brought back many memories of our family enjoying Christmas. I miss the different "A Christmas Carols" that would play and especially the Charlie Brown specials that started around Halloween through Christmas. Thank you, my dear friend for all your hard work that you put into these. Merry Christmas, my dear friend.
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 know nothing about the 80's Christmas specials but being a child in the 60's, I love all the classics! You know the ones! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you for another year of wonderful memories!
Rhett, I enjoyed your 80's Forgotten Christmas Specials video. It brought back a lot of memories, I personally enjoyed some of the shows that you mentioned. I also enjoyed Andy Williams, Perry Como and Judy Garland, too. Have a fantastic weekend. Take care 🐎
I was born in 1981 so some of theses 80’s Christmas specials mean a lot to me as a kid like Garfield Christmas, Claymation Christmas Celebration, A Disney Channel Christmas, Welcome to Pooh Corner Christmas Special, A Muppet Family Christmas & Mickey’s Christmas Carol All of those I loved as a kid The 80’s was a wonderful time to be a kid Thank you Rhett
Hi, Rhett, I remember a lot of these specials but some of them I had never seen. I wish I had seen them. My son was a big He Man fan but I don't remember that one, he would have loved it. We lived out of the country for several years in the 80's so I think that is why we never saw it. I still love the old classics and just watched Rudolph a few days ago. Thank you for another enjoyable video and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.
🎉 greetings from coastal Mississippi. I remember alot of these. Garfield was my favourite. Another favourite was the movie Christmas Eve. Thanks for the memories and research. Wishing you success in future endeavors
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.
When I was a kid in the 1950s, my favorite Christmas special aired on TV was "The March Of The Wooden Soldiers" with Laurel and Hardy. It was so captivating to a 6 - and 7-year-old !
Back in 1987, there was a short-lived American version of the popular British music show Top of the Pops and that same year they put out a Christmas special featuring artists who appeared on the compilation album A Very Special Christmas, including Run DMC who performed their classic holiday rap, It's Christmas Time in Hollis Queens
Babe’s in Toyland is a a huge piece of my Christmas childhood. We rewatched it over 200x since my dad taped it😂. I still watch it. It was my first Keanu film.
A Garfield Christmas, George C Scott version of a Christmas Carol, Mickey's Christmas are three of my favorite Christmas shows from the 80s. I also remember the raisins as they played their songs from their commercials all the time. Especially i heard it through the grapevine. Plus I think they had a regular Saturday morning show I'm not sure can't remember now. I also remember how bad the He Man special was because I just found it on UA-cam the other day. I loved the Muppets Christmas plus their version of the Christmas Carol. Plus all of the Christmas episodes the major network shows had on for Christmas that are too many to mention here. For example, MASH, Happy Days, oh yeah the Bugs Bunny Christmas special among others. Thank you for the videos and the memories of my favorite shows.
Fabulous list & video (as usual). I'll add two of my faves to the list. Both aired on ABC on the same night back in 1986. 1) Jim Henson's 'The Christmas Toy' and 2) John Grin's Christmas (Starring Robert Guillaume).
I was in HS and an undergrad during the 80s, so I wasn't into watching the Christmas specials like I was in the 70s. I do remember some of them. I vaguely remember the B.C. special only because I read the comic strip in the paper. The George C. Scott version of "A Christmas Carol" was excellent. I was at my grandparent's house when it first aired. I don't remember the Ziggy Christmas special at all, and almost forgot about the comic completely. It was very popular back in the 80s. And it is hard to believe that it is almost forgotten today!
I remember Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas. It came out in 1984. I was so excited to watch it. I watched it with my Cabbage Patch Kid named Bonnie Anastasia.
Oh my heck so many memories are all coming back to me! There was also a Smurf Christmas special. My husband found it on dvd for me a few years ago. I still like it but I’ve never been able to get my kids to fully appreciate the original Smurfs. 😅 There was also a great special “The Christmas Toy” made in the late 80’s that we loved. And “Santa’s Magic Toy Bag” was another great one.
That is a must in my household, I found it on DVD years back! Fraggles, muppets and sesame Street all in one place 😊. It's a shame it's so hard to find...
The four obscure Christmas specials my family had on VHS that aren't mentioned here: Rankin Bass "Twas the Night Before Christmas" (1974) "The Little Rascals Christmas Special" (1979) "Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper" (1982) "Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas" (1984)
All of yours are great. All of these comments are great. The Flintstones Christmas Carol is my Flintstones Christmas Special of choice. However, Twas the Night Before Christmas by Rankin and Bass is my absolute favorite Christmas Special. It’s about a mouse family with a mouse child that doesn’t believe in Santa and a human family whose father builds a giant clock that plays a song to make an extremely odd looking Santa to come to their town on Christmas.
I was a 1991 baby, my parents had a vhs full of old Christmas gold recorded off the antenna TV. My favourites were Garfield Christmas, Charlie Brown (Hockey Stick!), and the British “Father Christmas” with Mel Smith.
I watch George C. Scott's version of A Christmas Carol every year. My family has it on DVD. Mickey's Christmas Carol was my first introduction to that story. I don't think I saw many of the others on this list, but I remember Claymation Christmas and I had found it on UA-cam a few years ago. I also remember watching the Simpson's Christmas with my fourth grade class in 1989 when it had just come out. I think one of my classmates had taped it and brought it to school.
Hi! I remember a lot of these, thanks Rhetty! You are fun! My husband wants to know if you could do something about Fourth of July? He was raised on Route 66 in the 70's and misses all the fantastically dangerous fireworks- LOL!
"The City that Forgot About Christmas" is one I haven't seen in years but I still remember the song. It first aired in 1974 but was broadcast for several years after. I'm going to see if it's available online somewhere.
My dad recorded a bunch of old Christmas specials off of TV back in the day, and I still watch the tape every year on Christmas Eve. It's about six hours long, and contains everything from Rudolph and Frosty to Claymation Christmas and Winnie the Pooh.
Wish i had it!!! You are luckey!!! ☮️ Merry Christmas!!!!
Oh... Wow That's Cool
I have one of those too. Glad I did because some years I couldn’t find Magoo or White Christmas 🎄
Ok, that sounds fun!!
I don’t know big dawg. I might have to send you a vcr tape and get a copy of that if you have two vcrs. I know how to hook em up too!
You are so right. When the networks started airing these, it really confirmed Christmas is here! Thanks for the memories. 😊
You're welcome and thank you for watching Judah98!
Back when Christmas felt like Christmas and it truly was special.
Thank you for watching thenuclearsandwich!
I remember most of these, They were just so enjoyable. I love the George C Scott "A Christmas Carol" he nailed it
What a nostalgia bomb! 🎄 Babes In Toyland was quite a viewing to my young eyes and having watched it as an adult...what a treat being an 80s kid!
I'm going to watch that, it's on you tube. Love the 1984 Christmas Carol too.
1977's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas was always one of my favorites.😊
We have it on DVD. It's an adorable adaptation of O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi."
this is the one I remember every year
I think why that one wasn't mentioned because they are talking about Christmas specials that were released in the 1980s.
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.

I should hunt it down to watch this year. :)

Good Morning Rhett 🙋🏽. Merry Christmas to you and your Family and Friends ✝️🎄
Hello Caroleroseburgh1344! Merry Christmas to you as well!
The Garfield: Halloween, Thanksgiving, & Christmas specials are still popular. All three are on UA-cam and were also released together on a DVD collection.
All of the Garfield holiday specials are brilliant.
I loved the Christmas one the best because of getting to know Jon's family and their Christmas traditions.
They are also on Peacock this year.
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.
Oh my goodness, these were the best days growing up. I enjoyed all the cartoons as a child. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is beautiful! Thank you, Rhett ❤
You're welcome and thank you for watching -Thauma-!

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.
I agree. Alastair Sim is my favorite scrooge too and there is just something about it being in black and white that i love.
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.
I Googled The Tiny Tree and was able to watch it on UA-cam. Hope this helps you. Merry Christmas
I had forgotten that one but I remember it now. Thanks.
A chipmunk Christmas album..... We listened to that every year while setting up the tree. Will always be Christmas for me....... No matter how much it annoys my husband 😂
Christmas, Christmas time is near. Time for toys and time for cheer...🎵🎶🎵
@@jenniferhansen3622 We've been good, but we can't last, hurry Christmas hurry fast🎶
Legend has it that Alvin is still wanting a hula hoop 😂.
I remember seeing most of these. I also recall seeing Christmas specials for Raggedy Ann and Andy, Smurfs, and Fat Albert.
Thank you for watching and sharing a little more you remember Julie!
I miss seeing the California Raisins Christmas Special. It was truly fun claymation and the music was wonderful. I wish they brought it back for the newer generations.
Kids wouldn't watch it cause the Raisins don't rap. They did Motown & kids today don't want ANYTHING thats not rap.
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!
My favorite also!
I think i see most of the cartoon Christmas specials! I do miss them. Thank you for remind me what some of the good day were! Miss those!
You're welcome and thank you for watching. There really are a lot of great ones!
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. 👍
Thank you Rhetty for History for all the memories you bring back. I still have the Claymation Christmas dvd and watch it every year.
Thank you for watching and sharing what you have Mikey!
Born in the late 80's grew up in the 90's and I remember a great number of these and still watch them.
Thank you for watching abcx1237!
Ziggy’s gift was my favorite! I loved Ziggy. He was my favorite! Garfield too.

Hey, Rhett. It's been a while since I made a commitment on your channel.
This has brought back many memories of our family enjoying Christmas.
I miss the different "A Christmas Carols" that would play and especially the Charlie Brown specials that started around Halloween through Christmas.
Thank you, my dear friend for all your hard work that you put into these.
Merry Christmas, my dear friend.
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! 👋😁🇦🇺
Hi 👋 my friend. ☃️😁🇺🇸
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!
I love the 80s and 90s And 2000s Christmases and movies and shows and music
Thank you for watching mrs.ericalaurenhornmason3825!
I know nothing about the 80's Christmas specials but being a child in the 60's, I love all the classics! You know the ones! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you for another year of wonderful memories!
Great collection of 80's specials. It is hilarious that even "B.C." had a "Christmas" special! 😂
I remember The Family Circus had a Christmas special too.
Rhett, I enjoyed your 80's Forgotten Christmas Specials video. It brought back a lot of memories, I personally enjoyed some of the shows that you mentioned. I also enjoyed Andy Williams, Perry Como and Judy Garland, too. Have a fantastic weekend. Take care 🐎
We always watch Pee-wee’s Playhouse Christmas every year! Brought that tradition to my son. May Pee-wee rest in peace 🥲
And I also rediscovered "Prancer" 1989 I liked this one too. I wish I'd enjoyed when I was younger..
I do remember that one and it was a pretty big one. Thank you for watching!
You're bringing back the good old memories days of our lives!
I got most of these. Ziggy's and garfield are favorites of mine.
Thank you for watching and sharing a couple of your favorites!
George C. Scott's Christmas Carol is my favorite one. He's terrific in it.
I think so too! Thank you for watching Luther!
I was born in 1981 so some of theses 80’s Christmas specials mean a lot to me as a kid like Garfield Christmas, Claymation Christmas Celebration, A Disney Channel Christmas, Welcome to Pooh Corner Christmas Special, A Muppet Family Christmas & Mickey’s Christmas Carol
All of those I loved as a kid
The 80’s was a wonderful time to be a kid
Thank you Rhett
Thank you Rhetty😊 enjoyed this one very much ❤️🎅❤️🎅

Thank you for these warm memories. I remember watching many of these!!!!

A Muppet Family Christmas is just so awesome and the ending is just so perfect.

Babes in Toyland was released, on Blu-ray, a few weeks ago. So I'll be watchin' it!
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.

I love the George C Scott version of A Christmas Carol!
Me too! Thank you for watching kimbrey65!
When I was a kid in the 1950s, my favorite Christmas special aired on TV was "The March Of The Wooden Soldiers" with Laurel and Hardy. It was so captivating to a 6 - and 7-year-old !
That was always on Thanksgiving for us. WPIX 11 NYC
I’m 44. We watched all of them lol. That’s what you did when you didn’t have cable and like one tv in the house
Back in 1987, there was a short-lived American version of the popular British music show Top of the Pops and that same year they put out a Christmas special featuring artists who appeared on the compilation album A Very Special Christmas, including Run DMC who performed their classic holiday rap, It's Christmas Time in Hollis Queens

I really love the George C Scott version of Scrooge. I still make it a habit to watch it every year.
Merry Christmas, Retty to you and yours!!!
Thank you my friend and Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas, my friend and I hope you have a Happy and Blessed New Year.
A Garfield Christmas, George C Scott version of a Christmas Carol, Mickey's Christmas are three of my favorite Christmas shows from the 80s. I also remember the raisins as they played their songs from their commercials all the time. Especially i heard it through the grapevine. Plus I think they had a regular Saturday morning show I'm not sure can't remember now. I also remember how bad the He Man special was because I just found it on UA-cam the other day.

This reminded me of the great comics we hwd back then, too!
We did have some great ones and it was fun to read the funnies section. Thank you for watching nicki!
Fabulous list & video (as usual). I'll add two of my faves to the list. Both aired on ABC on the same night back in 1986. 1) Jim Henson's 'The Christmas Toy' and 2) John Grin's Christmas (Starring Robert Guillaume).
Christmas Toy is probably my favourite Henson project of all time

The Bloom County special was so great, but I only remember it airing one time.
Thank you for watching 13blackcatzzz!
Thanks Rhetty.
Oh my heck so many memories are all coming back to me! There was also a Smurf Christmas special. My husband found it on dvd for me a few years ago. I still like it but I’ve never been able to get my kids to fully appreciate the original Smurfs. 😅 There was also a great special “The Christmas Toy” made in the late 80’s that we loved. And “Santa’s Magic Toy Bag” was another great one.
The Garfield Christmas special is one of my all-time favorites, I bought the holiday specials DVD just for it. And I love A Very Brady Christmas.
I love Christmas and those classic Christmas movies, episodes, shows and specials were always amazing and fun to watch. cool video. ^_^
I remember pee wee's christmas special when i was a kid. I made it a point to watch it this year to honor Paul Rubens life.
I've watched the Pee-wee special a handful of times already this year. That one is definitely not forgotten to me.
Forgotten is right. I was 10 in 1981 and surely saw several of these along with commercials for them, but I have no memory of them.
The Ziggy special I hadn't known about. We loved Garfield.♥️🐈
Thank you for watching bunnybachman!
Love this video! Takes me back to the 80’s for sure!
Thank you for watching cowboydiecastracing!
I loved the Garfield special!! It was funny, but also incredibly heartwarming!
I still watch the Muppets Family Christmas at least once a year
That is a must in my household, I found it on DVD years back! Fraggles, muppets and sesame Street all in one place 😊. It's a shame it's so hard to find...
This was a great video, I didn't know any of these, so thanks.❤
The four obscure Christmas specials my family had on VHS that aren't mentioned here:
Rankin Bass "Twas the Night Before Christmas" (1974)
"The Little Rascals Christmas Special" (1979)
"Yogi Bear's All-Star Comedy Christmas Caper" (1982)
"Cabbage Patch Kids First Christmas" (1984)
Oh man I forgot about the Cabbage Patch one! Wonder if someone has a here on UA-cam? Thanks for the reminder.
All of yours are great. All of these comments are great. The Flintstones Christmas Carol is my Flintstones Christmas Special of choice. However, Twas the Night Before Christmas by Rankin and Bass is my absolute favorite Christmas Special. It’s about a mouse family with a mouse child that doesn’t believe in Santa and a human family whose father builds a giant clock that plays a song to make an extremely odd looking Santa to come to their town on Christmas.
I remember the ewoks Christmas and Chewbacca it was awesome
Thank you.
You're welcome and thank you for watching Sandra!
dude you found some that i had totally forgotten about as usual. thanks again and Merry Christmas to you.
Thank you for watching and Merry Christmas to you Scott!
'Twas the Night Before Christmas, Garfield Christmas, Mickey's Christmas Carol, and Frosty the Snowman were my favorites!
Family Circus had a Christmas special, too, but I don't remember it being on television when I was a kid.
Claymation Christmas….my favorite segment will forever be We Three Kings…with the soul singing camels. LOL
Pee Wee’s Christmas Special was fabulous!!!
Thank you for watching Sheila!
Im so sad that the networks don't do this anymore 😢
They were exciting to watch! Thank you for watching Holly!
I was a 1991 baby, my parents had a vhs full of old Christmas gold recorded off the antenna TV. My favourites were Garfield Christmas, Charlie Brown (Hockey Stick!), and the British “Father Christmas” with Mel Smith.
Oh the memories
Thank you for watching John!
Anything with the Muppets oh yes one of my fav movies yes. Especially Muppets Christmas Carol. ❤
I love the Muppets, but my favorite is the Muppet Christmas Carol.
“We’re Marley and Marley, whooo…..” 😅
@@melissaconnellyjones2622 haha! I love it! 🤗

Some of these Christmas movies were enjoyable to watch
Yes they were. Thank you for watching NASCARFAN93100!
Hi! I remember a lot of these, thanks Rhetty! You are fun! My husband wants to know if you could do something about Fourth of July? He was raised on Route 66 in the 70's and misses all the fantastically dangerous fireworks- LOL!
Wow, I Didnt Know Sondra Theodore Was On The George Burns Christmas Show Cool To See!
I used to think Jon calling his brother "Dock-boy" was the funnies thing ever. I don't know why.
That is funny! Especially when Doc-Boy keeps saying,"Don't call me Doc-Boy!"
You can't beat the Garfield Christmas theme song GIMME! GIMME! GIMME!!😂😂😂 I like to imagine what the singers thought when they first saw the music!!!!
I've seen a good chunk of these, some more than once.
Thank you for watching LikaLaruku!
"The City that Forgot About Christmas" is one I haven't seen in years but I still remember the song. It first aired in 1974 but was broadcast for several years after. I'm going to see if it's available online somewhere.
Thank you for watching and mentioning one you enjoyed Nancy!
He Man. Where Skeletor saves the kids was amazing.
