ITT: Underrated/unknown Christmas specials/episodes
I liked How Murray Saved Christmas.
Than this year they chopped it up, dropped half the plot, and squeezed it into 22 minutes.
Booo, NBC. Boooo.
i havent met a /co/ person who has seen this/admitted to watching it and its my all time non-peanuts favorite christmas movie
I dare you to find a cozier special

>Chris, that is not in the Christmas spirit. Now come and help me annihilate Santa!"
Thanks for reminding me that I need to watch it again this year.

wtf, why

I just watched this for the first time the other day it's pretty good and about the only specialthat shows santa looking like an elf like the rhyme says

I saw this every year when I was a kid and it's probably the most painfully average christmas special ever made.
Though now that I think about it a little more it really isn't that different from The Year Without a Santa Claus in that regard. They're both kinda boring but have one great song each which makes them stick in my mind.

To make room for some concert special starring Adele, apparently.
don't know how unknown it is, but I still contest Olive the other reindeer is the best christmas special ever
granted, that's like 95% nostalgia. But I still make time for it every year even though lately I've been watching fewer and fewer of my older staples in favor of trying to find new ones.

I used to really like this - looking back on it though the story is pretty unrealistic and off.
Olive the Other Reindeer

>A Flintstones Christmas Carol
Out of all the Christmas Carols this is the one that did it besteven better than Mr. Magoo

>Out of all the Christmas Carols this is the one that did it best
The fuck you say?
This one's a bit of a hidden one. Hard to find. Very obscure.

I used to watch this every year on Cartoon Network, back before they started marathoning shows instead of showing Christmas specials
>Flintstone Christmas
>Christmas in Pacland
>Yogis First Christmas
>Christmas themed ToonHeads
>Cartoon Cartoon Christmas episodes

Well, the thing that sets the Flintstones Christmas Carol apart from any other Christmas Carol, is that everyone knows it's play, but unlike Mr. Magoo which only appears in the beginning and end, this Christmas Carol cuts back between the play and reality, with Fred Flintstone being a scrooge himself, but not being obsessed with money, but with playing the part of scrooge in the play, to even to the point where he forgets to pick up his daughter peebles from daycareplus it's the only Christmas Carol that tried to get Scrooge and Belle back together, and actually works ingeniously, while the muppets christmas carol, is just a Christmas Carol with Muppets, that all... sorry...

I could see it.

While I disagree heartily (muppets and the one with scrooge mcduck are probably tied for #1 in my opinion) it's easily up there and definitely an underrated special.
Though I'm still partial to the episode where santa fucks his leg up and fred and barney have to be santa for him.

Yeah, and you know I can see this being made in like 2005 or 2006, 4 reasons:
1: Gary Coleman was still alive & he'd be perfect for the role of Elvin
2: Miranda Cosgrove was still young so she'd perfect for the role of Evilina
3: It would've been 2 or 3 years after the special released so it would be still fresh to pick
4: It's the mid-2000s, so capitalize on the Hip Hop/Rap Crazeplus, it would still be in the VHS days, which I LOVE!!!!!
