A Cartoon Christmas

Sit back and listen to the finest Christmas music this site has ever covered…

Before the stop motion special became a Holiday tradition, Rudolph was brought to theaters by the man who brought Popeye and Betty Boop to life…

Similar to what we did last year with the Top 25 Cartoon Christmas Trees, A Cartoon Christmas is letting you (AND ME!) skip the usual 1000+ words of grammatically defiant babble on this day of days, while still giving you the opportunity to look at some gorgeous animated imagery.

You’ve may’ve seen Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer over a billion times, but unless you’re over the age of 45, you’ve NEVER seen this…

‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Original Air Date: Dec 8, 1974 Skepticism nearly derails the holidays, but eventually guilt and blind faith save the day for humans and mice alike…

NESTOR, THE LONG-EARED CHRISTMAS DONKEY Original Air Date: December 3, 1977 Then one day pre-Christmas, Yahweh came to say / “Nestor with your ears so long, won’t you guide my unborn son along!”

An animated gift for almost any smartphone

The Original Christmas Classics Set contains: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town, Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol, Frosty the Snowman, Frosty Returns, The Little Drummer Boy, Cricket on the Heart, and a CD of classic Christmas music!
