Comment: 10. I did like this special, but not very much like the others. However, I too like Sister Teresa. She was okay in my opinion.
9. I did like The Life and Adventures of Santa Clause. It does have a more serious writing than the others. And yes, I like Peter Knook.
8. Yes, I do love Frosty The Snowman. I remember watching this special a long time ago, until I lost the VHS tape. I still like it today. I have seen Frosty Returns, but I haven't seen Legend of Frosty The Snowman.
7. I may not have seen this special very much, but I’ll give it a try next Christmas. The character of Casper really does look like a great character.
6. Oh yes, I love this special as well. Man, Kubla Krouse is a funny character. What?! He had a villain song?! Why did ABC Family cut that out? Why? That wasn't fair. Well, it's a fun special and Kubla Krouse is sure a silly character and he’s such a coward.
5. Yes! Santa Clause is Coming to Town. And Winter Warlock! Thank heavens I got a VHS tape of it a few years ago because ABC family cut out a lot of scenes from it. Jeeze, these guys just don't like to keep things the same.
4. I sure enjoyed this special in my early teen years. And I sure do like these guys. But in my opinion, I pick Big Ben over 1023. After all, he returned in Christmas in July.
3. I remember this special/movie when the Disney Channel was showing it. I really enjoyed many scenes with Lily Lorraine, and you’re right. She’s one spunky woman. I like her.
2. Oh boy! I really like this special. Especially both Heat Miser and Snow Miser. I've read about the remake back in 2007 and I was curious about it. Thanks for the warning. And I somewhat liked the Miser Brothers Christmas.
1. Now I can see why Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is popular today as it was back then. You’re right about Yukon Cornelius. He really is the best character from a Rankin/Bass holiday special. I've re-watched the special not too long ago and I like it as much as the others. Man, ABC Family messes up with these specials big time by not showing this one on their channel. So I didn't watch this one more than the others.

Comment: I don't actually like any of the Rankin/Bass productions. I found the animation poor.( I have nothing against those who do enjoy it though, as they may criticize me for not actually watching these specials when I was very small-I am 12 now.)

Comment: Best episode I have ever seen^_^ I want to make an honorable mention though. From the Rudolph/Frosty special, Lady Boreal, snow enchantress, punishes Winterbolt by placing a deep sleep spell that would last for just a very long time. However when the spell was broken, Lady Boreal visited Rudolph when he was still a baby and puts a snowflake symbol on his right front hoof which gave him his red nose light ability. The reason why I brought her up is because she was the reason why Rudolph's nose glows so bright.

Comment: Great list guys. I think I've see The Life and Adventures of Santa Clause, but it was a hand-drawn version. I knew Yukon Cornelius would be on the list somewhere. He's just too awesome not to be. I also love "The Island of Misfit Toys." Used to watch it all the time. I'd kinda like to see you review it sometime.
