Christmas Comes But Once A Year (1936)
A creepy old man with a creepy laugh thinks it's a good idea to break into an orphanage on Christmas Day. That's not the way you're supposed to take it, but it's not untrue.
Dig the sneaky use of models at the beginning and end that look convincingly hand-drawn... until the camera moves, and you get a better idea of what you're looking at. Very innovative stuff.

Peace On Earth
This is a truly bizarre little cartoon disguised as family treacle: a deceptively sweet Christmas tableau with cutesy woodland creatures gives way to an anti-war statement by revealing itself to be set in a post-apocalyptic world wherein war caused the extinction of humanity. And it was released in 1939, when World War II was underway in Europe, but America had yet to become involved. Ballsy. Merry Christmas, humanity!

Miser Brothers
Why leave well enough alone when you can, you know, not?
In 2008, the popular Rankin/Bass characters, the Miser Brothers, were revived for a sequel special. The original voice of the Heat Miser, George S. Irving, was still alive and returned to perform the character once again.
This modern special sought to recreate the original style of Rankin/Bass stop-motion animation and is largely successful, although improvements to the technology and techniques of stop-motion animation couldn't help but to have an effect on the finished look.
Here's the new rendition of the Heat Miser/Snow Miser song. (For the original version, click here.)
