Default What is your favorite Christmas special?

Even at the ripe old age of 42 I still get a lump in my throat when I watch the original "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". Charlie Brown's Christmas is one of my favorites, too. 3rd place would go to The Little Drummer Boy.

The Mupper Christmas Special where they have the Sesame street Characters and Fraggle Rock is my favourite T.V. type special.



My favourite movie hands down is A Muppet Christmas Carol, I watch it every year at least once.



If you have never seen it, watch it. Micheal Caine at his best! It is a great movie for kids and adults, I watch it with my whole family and all ages enjoy it.

I would have to go with Charlie Brown, followed by Mickey's Christmas Carol. For without Mickey's Christmas Carol, we would not have Scrooge McDuck. And without Scrooge McDuck, there is no Ducktales

Obviously Rudolph... I watch it every year. I can recite most of it too. I will name my firstborn King Moonbeam.

Only thing I remember about the Garfield Christmas is the crazy Grannie and the part where they light up the tree and their lips all get super long with their "OoooOOOOoooo's"

Boo yeah. The original though. The new one is irritating.

I giggle with glee when the Grinch trashes Christmas in Whooville. I just don't like the happy ending part.
