1 The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) ★ 7.8 IMDb Released Dec 11, 1992 87 minutes on Disney+. This holiday musical leaves room for both Dickens and the Muppets. The puppets play the comedy straight around Michael Caine's Scrooge, while the ghost visits give the story enough texture for older kids and adults. 0 2 The Grinch (2018) ★ 6.4 IMDb Released Nov 8, 2018 86 minutes. The 2018 animated version makes the Christmas heist a comedy of gadgets, with Max doing much of the work. Cindy Lou's reason for wanting to meet Santa gives younger viewers someone to follow when the Grinch gets prickly. 0 3 Jingle All the Way (1996) ★ 5.8 IMDb Released Nov 21, 1996 89 minutes in the 1996 theatrical cut. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sinbad make the dash for a Turbo Man figure loud and physical enough for older kids to enjoy the spectacle. Check the edition if time is tight. Disney+ lists a 90-minute version. 0 4 The Star (2017) ★ 6.3 IMDb Released Nov 15, 2017 86 minutes in the theatrical cut. A donkey gets the leading role in this animated Nativity story. The animals do the rushing around and supply the jokes, while the trip to Bethlehem gives it a clear story for a mixed-age room. 0 5 A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) ★ 8.3 IMDb Released Dec 9, 1965 25 minutes. Charlie Brown tries to organize a Christmas play and brings back a small tree nobody else wants. The jazz score and low-key humor are good for a family that wants something quieter than a caper. 0 6 Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas (1999) ★ 7.1 IMDb Released Oct 31, 1999 69 minutes. Three hand-drawn stories give younger kids several easy places to settle in. The nephews relive Christmas Day, Goofy tries to reassure Max about Santa, and Mickey and Minnie each worry over finding a present for the other. 0 7 Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas (2004) ★ 6.5 IMDb Released Nov 9, 2004 72 minutes. Try this one for shorter bursts of action and computer animation. Donald's nephews, Goofy and Max, and the other familiar faces rotate through the stories, which works well when the kids have different favorites. 0 8 Winnie the Pooh: A Very Merry Pooh Year (2002) ★ 6.6 IMDb Released Nov 12, 2002 68 minutes. Christmas comes first, then a New Year's story about friends trying to change themselves. It's a gentle choice if the youngest viewer would rather spend the holiday with the Hundred Acre Wood crew than face another ghost. 0 9 How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (1966) ★ 8.3 IMDb Released Dec 18, 1966 26 minutes. The 1966 hand-drawn special keeps the rhyming narration and Christmas heist close together. Pick it when older viewers want the original songs and younger viewers would rather get to the Grinch and Max right away. 0 10 Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983) ★ 8.0 IMDb Released Oct 19, 1983 26 minutes. Scrooge McDuck takes the lead in a theatrical short that reaches the three ghosts quickly. Familiar Disney characters and a brisk pace make it a first Dickens adaptation for children who can handle a few spooky scenes. 0
