Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass collaborated on some of the most famous made-for-TV Christmas specials of all time. They were either animated or stop-action and quickly became holiday traditions for kids of all ages.
The shows I included are:
- Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer
- Frosty the Snowman
- Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town
- Jack Frost
- The Year Without a Santa Claus
- The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
- ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas
- The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow
- Rudolph’s Shiny New Year
- Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July
- Nestor, the Long-Eared Donkey
In the bracket, I tried to separate the characters from the same shows, so they don’t match up right away.

The deadline is Sunday evening, December 17.
