I have seen all of these and 'Twas the Night Before Christmas is in my regular rotation. I need to try and squeeze the other 3 in again before the big day.
I just listened to the episode and I enjoyed hearing of these lesser known Rankin/Bass Christmas specials! I have actually seen them all. A few Christmases ago, I did a viewing binge of as many animated holiday specials as I could find, and these were all part of that Christmas marathon. My favorite of your four recommendations is 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. I watched it numerous times growing up in the 70s, so it brings back fond memories. Good episode, Ashley!
Thank you! I picked up a blu-ray copy of all the Rankin/Bass Christmas cartoons last year. It was a worthy investment. I got tired of trying to piecemeal together all the ones I wanted to watch from various sources.
I have a few holiday special collections on DVD. I just looked up The Complete Rankin/Bass Christmas Collection on Blu-ray. I think I'm going to have to order it!

Definitely worth watching for something a little different from the usual Rankin/Bass fare.

Definitely recommend if you do! It looks and sounds great and even has some bonus features! Didn't expect that with older material.
