How The Grinch Stole Christmas
You can't let the holiday season pass by without watching this Dr. Seuss classic! Fed up with the festive celebrations in Whoville, the bitter Grinch, with a heart two sizes too small, tries to steal Christmas away from the Whos as they snooze. Just watching the mean greenie dress up as Santa Claus and tie antlers onto his dog is enough to fall in love with this great Christmas cartoon!
A Charlie Brown Christmas

Everybody's on board: Lucy, Snoopy, Schroeder, Pig-Pen, Peppermint Patty, but the most touching moment comes from Linus, who highlights the show with his tender recitation of the [kwlink 7310]nativity story[kwlink]. This Christmas classic, complete with the debut of Charlie's famously pathetic Christmas tree is a must-see during the holiday season.

Frosty the Snowman

Frustrated in his attempt to pull a rabbit out of his hat, he throws it away. Outside, the kids build a snowman and when the hat blows onto it, Frosty comes to life.
