Top 10 Best Christmas Television Specials

Whether it's a movie or made-for-television, they're the televised Christmas specials that you and your family watch every year on television, and these are the ten best ones out there.
The Top Ten
How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman are overrated.

This one is the best.

Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

I have to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas to really feel like it's coming.

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

Christmas specials would not be the same without Rudolph. I had a crush on Hermey because of how handsome he is and how nice his voice sounds.

Otherwise, I enjoyed the special with all my heart.

My favorite Christmas movie/short of all time. It's creative and oozes warmth and that cuddly feeling.

I just love it! I'm happy and excited for Christmas to celebrate its 50th anniversary!

Beautiful.

In my opinion, it's better than the animated versions. Nothing can ruin this classic, good movie.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Definitely one of my favorites.

I really liked Linus's speech, the beginning, and all the scenes that made me joyful.

Come on, it teaches what Christmas is really about!

Jeez, people nowadays...

Christmas isn't quite Christmas without this iconic masterpiece!

Frosty the Snowman

It may not have the same magic as Rudolph, but I still enjoy it.

My favorite character is Karen because she looks like me when I was little, and she's so adorable yet a really caring character. I feel so bad for her when she cries as Frosty melts.

This is my most favorite Christmas special ever.

A little girl named Karen and her friends build Frosty. Karen is my most favorite character ever.

Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town

This movie is the best idea ever! When I was little, I'd always want to know answers to mysterious things about Santa.

And yeah, The Grinch is kind of old since there has already been an updated full-length live-action feature film, so my vote goes to this movie.

Top Gear Middle East Special

A British institution. Whoever didn't vote for this clearly doesn't understand what the British consider Christmas specials.

Del and Rodney becoming millionaires in Only Fools, Morcambe and Wise's South Pacific parody with several newsreaders, Alice Tinker going into labor in The Vicar of Dibley's Nativity sequence, and of course, Jeremy, James, and Richard's encounter with Stig Jesus on Top Gear.

This is the one where the boys travel to Bethlehem from Iraq.

They encounter border control, political bans, and Top Gear interest in Syria.

A Muppet Family Christmas
The Year Without a Santa Claus

This movie is good, but mostly due to the Snow Miser and the Heat Miser.

This Christmas special is okay. I like Snow-Miser, and the animation is great.

Other than that, this TV special didn't stand out to me.

Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire

The debut episode of The Simpsons that has a classic yet rough sense of humor with all of that magic. Definitely one of my favorite Christmas episodes.

Mickey's Christmas Carol

The Newcomers

? A Christmas Story (The Goldbergs)
? Time On Our Hands (Only Fools and Horses)

This is the episode where Del and Rodney finally became millionaires thanks to an antique watch.

The Contenders
Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics
Top Gear Bolivia Special
Top Gear Africa Special
Twas the Night Before Christmas

If you're looking for a must-see movie, watch this one. It's an amazing classic that puts us all in the Christmas spirit with classic songs that never get old. It also teaches many lessons and will forever be known and loved.

Top Gear Vietnam Special
Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo
Top Gear Burma Special
Merry Madagascar
Top Gear India Special
Spongebob Squarepants:Christmas Who?

This is definitely my personal favorite.

It's a Christmas tradition!

Top Gear Patagonia Special

The one where Jeremy Clarkson got into a bit of hot water with Argentina regarding an infamous license plate.

Bah Humduck, A Looney Tunes Christmas
Shrek the Halls

Can't believe it wasn't on the list!

It's a Spongebob Christmas!
A Garfield Christmas
