As for myself, my most favorite Christmas TV Special of all time has got to be…this one:
Chuck Jones’ 1966 animated half hour TV adaptation of Theodore "Dr. Seuss" Geisel’s 1957 storybook How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
What about your favorite Christmas TV Special, if you have any?
I don’t believe it airs on television anymore, but I’ve found it on Youtube. There’s a few different versions of it – I’m assuming it was cut down a few times to allow for advertising. I heard that a joke was also cut because letters were recieved ("Did you hear about the church that burnt down?"; "Holy smoke!")
I’ve always loved the Muppets, and to have the entire cast in one special was really cool.

Oooh! Speaking of 80’s Christmas specials: The California Raisins Christmas special was fantastic. Best rendition of We Three Kings ever.
You haven’t seen this on TV ever since Saturday Night Live alumni Phil Hartman was killed by his wife who orphaned his two children back in 1998, but now that Christmas is coming in two days time, we go behind the scenes with the late Phil Hartman, Chuck Jones, and other people (circa 1994) to get inside scoops on the making of the late Chuck Jones� 1966 made-for-TV animated cartoon take on Dr. Seuss� 1957 children�s story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
