 Mine are Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Year Without a Santa Clause.

I still get sad every time when the other reindeer don't let Rudolph play their reindeer games.

I love the Heat Miser and Snow Miser and how Mother Nature  shows them who is boss.

Geez, what's wrong with you people. There really arent many animated Christmas "Movies." I think all you mentioned are made for TV. You need to come up with things like Polar Express or The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Those actaully were in theaters. Probably without further thought, Grinch was my favorite.

I'll have to think if there are any other real animated movies for christmas. Though made for TV might be Frosty the Snowman with Burl Ives and yes not really a Christmas movie but still in the season.

They did say Christmas "Special".

I love the heat miser.  I love Frosty the Snowman.  Any Charlie Brown special held my attention as a kid.

Movies - I love the Grinch with little Cindi Lou Who who was no more than two and the poor overworked doggie/reindeer and the grinches heart that grew two sizes that day.  I liked Jim carrey's movie too.

I did enjoy The Polar express even though Tom Hanks sometimes sets my teeth on edge.

I can't think of any other animated Christmas films.  There was Adam Sandler's  8 Crazy Nights but I didn't like that one.

 Frosty and Charlie Brown are great too.  The more I think about it the harder it is to pick just 1...

Santa Claus is Coming to Town! I'm aware that it's made for TV, but I *love* made for TV things when it comes to Christmas.

Charlie Brown Christmas and Disney's Mickey Mouse - A Christmas Carol.  I still get misty eyed when Mickey lays Timmy's cane down at the tree.

Rudolph and Frosty are tied for me. But both made me very sad.
