Best Christmas Animated Films and Cartoon Specials

Would it really be Christmas without Charlie Brown's tiny tree? The Peanuts gang discovers the true reason for the season in the ground-breakjng television special, set to an equally iconic Vince Guaraldi soundtrack. The beloved film has aired every year since its 1965 debut, cementing its status as a Christmas classic. Fans even protested when Apple announced the special would only be available on Apple TV+ in 2020, leading the tech giant to allow PBS to air the special ad-free. Anyways, while the Peanuts may have started the trend, Santa Claus isn't just coming to town; he's also coming to your screened device of choice. And what better way to celebrate the magic of the season than with a Christmas cartoon? To help with your winter watchlist this year, we've rounded up this carefully-curated list of the best Christmas movies and animated specials. We've included picks ranging from sentimental stop-motion flicks to newer streaming service specials. How many have you seen???
