Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer, animated Christmas special. For the last two or three years it came on Cartoon Network, and i found out that Cam Clarke (aka 80's Leo) does the voice of the buisness man in the cartoon.

I love this animated Christmas special and it became some of a thing in my house to watch it. So far I haven't seen it preimeire yet this year and I'm wondering if they will.

Though I haven't watched it, have noticed this special being on recently (at least a couple times, I think).

Elf
Bad Santa

*Guitar_Raph* · 12-15-2008, 08:43 PM

Some honorable mentions

Gift Wrapped (1952 Sylvester & Tweety short); Every scene makes me laugh!

Richie Rich's Christmas Wish: Celebrating 10 years, first saw this on FoxKids back in 2000. David Gallagher did Richie better that MacCuley. But it was Jake Richardson who stole the movie when he proclaims to be in a REALLY BAD MOOD!

My sister and I quote this movie all year long. Way too good.

Also, I love the pure cheese of Jingle All the Way with Ahnold.

RAM BAM · 12-19-2008, 10:26 PM

It's a toss-up between A Christmas Story and It's A Wonderful Life.
I also like the movie Bing and Danny did - "White Christmas".

*ToTheNines* · 12-22-2008, 09:13 PM

Just watched "Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas" last week. It's now easily my favorite Christmas cartoon.

*Guitar_Raph* · 12-05-2009, 09:43 AM

Casper's 1st Christmas; First aired on NBC in 1979.
Yogi's 1st Christmas; First aired in syndication in 1980.

What do those two specials have in common?

1). Both produced by Hanna-Barbera.

2). That silly opening tune; Coming Up Christmas Time

*odupianist* · 12-07-2009, 07:46 AM

Christmas Vacation
Elf
A Christmas Story
Gremlins
Lethal Weapon
Home Alone
Charlie Brown Christmas Special
Scrooged
Muppet Christmas Carol

There's also an SNL skit with John Belushi as Santa and Dan Aykroyd and Laraine Newman. Dan is showing Laraine that she doesn't have put toilet paper on her Santa's lap. She can use the Christmas decorated sanitary tissue to keep her clean from her Santa's lap.

Christmas Vacation
A Nightmare Before Christmas
Christmas Story
Jingle All The Way
Scrooged
Ernest Saves Christmas
Charlie Browns Christmas
Garfields Christmas Special
Will Vinton's Claymation Christmas
most Rankin & Bass stuff (especially the one where Santa fights the monsters)
Muppet Christmas Special
Muppet Christmas Carol
& if Home Alone 1 & 2 count as well as Gremlins

*Oculus Orbus* · 12-09-2009, 01:01 PM

I really don't like Christmas, but "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is truly amazing. Also, Muppets Specials.

*Warhorse* · 12-13-2009, 01:38 PM

A Christmas Story. (Yeah, I have the thing on a good part of the day during it's 24 hours run on TNT) But that movie pretty much sums up the life of the average family on X-Mas back in the early 80's.

Home Alone is my other top favorite X-Mas movie.

Others that I try to catch:
Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
Frosty the Snowman
Elf
Charlie Brown's Christmas Special
Gremlins
Die Hard

*Raph's Girl* · 12-13-2009, 04:38 PM

I liked that new one called Yes Virginia (based on the Yes Virginia there is a santa story) that aired on Friday. The newspaper chief looked, acted, and sounded like J. Jonah Jamison. There was even a black guy that reminded me of Robbie Robertson and a Peter Parker look-a-like made friends with Virginia.

Ra · 12-13-2009, 05:03 PM

I can't go without a Christmas without watching one of the "Robbie the Reindeer" specials. Usually "Hooves of Fire".

And I also like to try and watch the annual "Spicks and Specks" Christmas special. Just people crapping around, singing songs, and having games. And being entertaining while they do it.

Well, for me at least.

prescribeddrone · 12-13-2009, 05:20 PM

Honestly I never usually like Christmas themes in my media, they end up being my least favorite episodes 9 out of 10 times.

LOL! LOVE IT! As a "Virginia" I always get something along the lines of "Hey, Virginia, is there a Santa Claus?!" when I flash my ID this time of year. And this year it paid off, I got a $10 Macy's gift card for being a "Virginia!"

Hordak · 12-14-2009, 11:56 AM

Okay I can now add The Cleavland Show & Flapjack to my Christmas theme list. I also forgot the Batman:TAS Christmas ep with Joker. Christmas with The Kranks was ok too.

*ToTheNines* · 12-19-2009, 08:44 PM

Anyone got new favorites this year?

I just watched "Four Christmases", whole family cracked up.

Also, bought Rocko's Modern Christmas at the flea market over the summer, that was a good one I missed as a kid.

"Invasion of the Secret Santas" from Batman B/B was amazing, and I also liked the Phineas and Ferb special.
