Starring Sebastian Cabot, best known as Mr. French from "Family Affair," as the "nice old man with whiskers," this 1973 retread of "Miracle on 34th Street" hews closely to the 1947 film. Cabot performs ably, but overall this very dated TV film works better as a '70s time capsule than a remake.

The animation of Chuck Jones, the words of Dr. Seuss and the voice of Boris Karloff come together in a perfect mix of holiday redemption in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Remade twice, the original "Grinch" is a work of Seussian brilliance. The holidays are not complete without it!

A holiday tradition for over 50 years, Rankin and Bass' "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" has become as essential to Christmas as Santa himself. Based on Johnny Marks' 1939 song about an outsider who makes good, the 1964 production builds on Rudolph's world with a cast of new characters.

Walt Disney's 1961 adaptation of Victor Herbert's beloved operetta stars Annette Funicello, Tommy Sands and "The Wizard of Oz's" Ray Bolger in his first villainous role. A very loose adaptation, the Disney film bears only a faint resemblance to the original. Nevertheless, its cast is a delight.

Fred Astaire stars as the owner of a costume shop who's not what he seems in this 1979 TV film. Over the holiday season, three men buy Santa suits in hopes of solving their respective problems. When the suits change their lives for the better, Astaire is revealed to be the real St. Nick.

"The Magic Christmas Tree" is a surprisingly bleak exercise in holiday exploitation from 1964. The convoluted tale of a little boy who uses a magic ring to grow a sentient, wish-granting Christmas tree, this film makes "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" look like high art by comparison.

Airing only once in November, 1978, "The Star Wars Holiday Special" is the stuff of TV legend. A surreal and inexplicable blend of "Star Wars" and hokey, '70s variety show schmaltz, George Lucas once said he wished he could personally smash every copy with a hammer.

Overflowing with the holiday spirit, it was Frank Capra's last film.

Based on the novella by Charles Dickens, 1967's "Cricket on Hearth" was Rankin/Bass' second Christmas special following "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Shot in a traditional animation style rather than the studio's signature stop-motion, "Cricket" is among Rankin/Bass' lesser-known works.

Based on Truman Capote's heartwarming tale of the same name, 1966's "A Christmas Memory" is an underappreciated gem. Narrated by the author and starring Geraldine Page, the film, produced as a segment of "ABC Stage 67," was released theatrically in 1969 as part of "Truman Capote's Trilogy."

Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz from a script from "Twilight Zone" scribe Rod Serling, "A Carol for Another Christmas" was commissioned by the United Nations to foster the ideals of international cooperation. Standing in for Scrooge is Grudge, an isolationist, who's haunted on Christmas Eve.

"Young Pioneers' Christmas" from 1976 was a second attempt to sell the ABC network on a "Young Pioneers" series. Starring Linda Purl and Roger Kern as a pioneer couple facing a hard Christmas on the prairie after the death of their baby, the film failed to ignite interest among audiences.

1969's "The Christmas Tree" is the definition of melodrama. When his young son gets radiation poisoning (it's a long story), William Holden makes the kid's last six months the best ever by buying him tractors and stealing wolves. Spoiler alert: The kid dies under the Christmas tree, hence the title.

1974's "Black Christmas" stars Olivia Hussey and Margot Kidder as sorority sisters stalked by an unseen killer over the holidays. The film's director, Bob Clarke, would go on to helm another Christmas film with a decidedly different tone in 1983 with "A Christmas Story."

The 1972 Christmas thriller "Home For the Holidays" packs some high-caliber, A-list talent for an ABC movie of the week. With a cast that includes Sally Field, Julie Harris and Walter Brennan, this holiday shocker revolves around a dying man's suspicion that his wife has poisoned him.

A troubled young boy finds his purpose when he nurses a sick, one-eyed cat back to health during holiday season in "J.T." from 1969.

Based on a children's book by Charles Tazewell, "The Small One" was released to theaters by Walt Disney in 1978. The story of a young Nazarene boy forced to sell his beloved donkey, "The Small One" is a funny and touching tale of friendship, compassion and faith.
