Christmas Episodes

It's not just the television specials that I loved watched during Christmas but I also enjoyed seeing my favorite TV shows provide their own special Christmas episodes that managed to provide the usual Christmas joy mixed with the unique charm of the presented show. Usually it's a Christmas adventure involving missing presents, Santa Claus, and a lot of funny references. All of these episodes are from Cartoon Network shows because that was my favorite channel to watch when I was a kid and I personally believed was the one that provided the most enjoyable Christmas episodes from their shows. So these are the Christmas episodes from great television shows that I enjoyed watching year after year.

Modern Christmas Specials

While these are the Christmas television specials from a modern time, while most of these don't have the charm and timelessness of the classic Christmas specials. They still provided me with the special kind of enjoyment that could only be provided by a child during Christmas. These were the modern specials that I remember enjoying to see every year and are presented in chronological order from the early '90s to the current '10s.
