What’s your favorite holiday special?

I know everyone loves It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (and if I drew you a Venn diagram right now, a tiny circle labeled “me” would appear within that larger circle labeled “everyone”). However, I have to admit that there’s a Halloween special that beats it for me. Any guesses? Hint: it stars a big fat Halloween cat

Revisiting this one made me wonder – what’s your favorite holiday special? I tend to think that Halloween kind of kicks off the holiday season, so feel free to talk Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other holiday that floats your boat.

Here’s a few (non-exhaustive) lists to get you started: Halloween specials, Thanksgiving specials, and Christmas specials. (Disclaimer: in my book, any list that doesn’t include the Garfield special for the holiday in question is not complete.)

I do love holiday TV (as my viewing habits during the next two months will reflect), so my list could go on and on. Feel free to discuss your favorites in the comments and perhaps I’ll share some of them during the holiday season! I’ll also tell you more about my favorite Thanksgiving and Christmas specials too as the dates get closer. Time to get into the holiday spirit!

  1. I’m not a big fan of Charlie Brown, I guess even as a child I had empathy for those who are picked on.

    Hard to say what my favorite one is, there are so many. I do love, “The Night They Saved Christmas” that is one I will usually put on. Of course the Grinch, The Year Without a Santa Clause and Rudolph, those are probably my favorites.

  2. LOL, can I choose all of them? I turn into a 6 year old child around Oct 1 and I don’t turn back into a grown up until New Years. Garfield: Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas are all essentials, as are the Peanuts specials. I love the For Better or For Worse Christmas Special and the one about the little elf with blue toes. I love the Nightmare Before Christmas (bonus: It’s good for Halloween AND Christmas!). FROSTY AND RUDOLPH! Every episode of the Treehouse of Horror…Oh oh oh! And the Muppets Family Christmas and a Muppet Christmas Carol!

    I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never even heard of Halloween in Grinch Night, but I’m off to find it now…
