Vintage licensed character Christmas specials add even more commercialism to the holiday

For those seeking a nostalgic trip back to their youth or who finally want to hear what the characters from comic strip For Better Or For Worse sound like, Metafilter has assembled a list of Christmas specials featuring licensed characters. It’s an impressive grouping that mostly comes from the ’80s and ’90s while the content spans everything from the stone age (with The Flintstones and cartoon version of comic strip B.C.) to the far-off future (The Jetsons). The collection contains a wide range of quality and varying levels of how poorly it was thought out by the various executives in charge (who was clamoring for a Wacky Wallwalker Christmas Special?).
