These Christmas TV classics are great for those Christmas nights with family and friends, providing some cheerful relief from holiday stress. Below are the top 3 shows that people would not want to miss on the tube:
A Charlie Brown Christmas
This 1965 classic by Charles Schulz is the first on the list. This Christmas TV special is about the Charlie Brown’s quest in finding the real significance of Christmas. He finds his friends becoming obsessed over luxurious material gifts and ornaments and Christmas events, and everybody else totally occupied with writing letters and cards for Santa. He then gets depressed with how commercialized Christmas has become. When given the task to choose a Christmas tree for the pageant his friends were hosting, he then searches and brings the plainest looking Christmas tree. After Linus makes a touching speech, his friends finally realized the real essence of Christmas, and how fragile it is in this much commercialized world.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
This unforgettable Christmas TV classic is about Rudolph who is treated badly by his peers because of his beaming red nose. He discovers a whole bunch of misfit toys for misfit kids.
