Upon ordering this 3 disc collection I wasn’t really sure what to expect but am plesantly surprised to say the least. I have always adored anything with a Christmas theme and this set doesn’t disappoint in the least.
Total content on these 3 discs are 13 hours and 35 minutes.
Disc 1 contains 11 classic television Christmas episodes: The Beverly Hillillies - Turkey Day, Christmas at the Clampets & Home for Christmas.
The Burns and Allen Show - Gracie and Relatives
The Jack Benny Show - Christmas Shopping (Note: Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny and numerous others cartoon characters, appears in this one)and New Year’s Eve
Ozzie & Harriet - Late Christmas Gift, The Christmas Tree, Piano for the Fraternity and Busy Christmas
The final show on this disc is Liberace, The Christmas Show
The entire first disc has a 4 hour 48 minute playing time.
Disc II: Classic Christmas TV Specials
I recognised a few of these but not all.
The Little Christmas Burron - Narrated by Lorne Greene
Brightest Night
The Little King - Christmas Night

Disc III: Beyond Tomorrow (Excellent Christmas film from 1940) runs 1hr 24min
Scrooge, the 1935 version starring Seymore Hicks runs 1hr 27 min
A Christmas Without Snow 1981, runs 1 hr 35 min
Miracle on 34th Street 1957 version runs 47 minutes.
I hope that this helps you in your shopping.
I love almost anything that is done for the Christmas season! I chanced upon this little gem after reading one of the reviews, and thought it was worth the money (less than a lot of dvds with only one movie) to at least take a look.
I wasn’t disappointed.
There are three disks: the first is full of old 1940’s and 1950’s television shows that I hadn’t seen in ages, and they brought back some happy feelings I used to get as a kid at this time of year. The second disk contains a variety of cartoons, Christmas and winter themes; I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I remembered, and now have some new favorites from the oldies I’ve never seen before! The third disk has some Christmas “TV movies” which I don’t even remember being on TV!
The video quality is something to be desired for some of these little gems, but for the money, it is well worth having in your Christmas library!

Christmas collection
This was a nice collection. I thought it was worth the money. I especially liked the TV shows. I hadn’t seen Ozzie and Harriet for some time. Alot of laughs.
For under 10 bucks you get three dvds. One has movies, the second has tv shows and the third has cartoons, all with a Christmas theme. I most enjoyed the rarely shown TV version of Miracle on 34th Street (with Uncle Billy as Kris Kringle) and the almost forgotten Beyond Tomorrow, both on the movie disc. I also got a big kick out of the Bev Hillbillies, Burns and Allen, and Jack Benny episodes on the TV disc. Picture quality varies from feature to feature (don’t expect restored prints at these prices) but even so, you’ll find hours of holiday entertainment for next to nothing. So, if you’re over 40, go for it! Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

I bought this collection in hopes that it would contain the Christmas cartoons I watched in my youth, and I wasn’t disappointed!

Christmas gift.
This was purchased as a Christmas gift for someone who likes “PG” rated movies. I believe this will fit the bill.

A MIXED BAG, BUT A LOT OF BANG FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS BUCKS
This 3 Disc Christmas Collection, like Christmas itself, offers a mixed bag of goodies. But, at 13 hours long, it certainly provides hours of holiday entertainment.

Memory Lane
This DVD brought back the old memories of Christmas celebrations I enjoyed as a child through the use of black and white cartoons, old movies, songs, and Christmas TV specials…

Somewhat Nifty Collection On The Cheap
This collection of Christmas videos is actually better than what I thought it would be. All of the titles in this collection appear to be public domain material (no copyright)…

A Treasury of Christmas Entertainment
First I must say my deepest sympathy goes to anyone who is disappointed with this collection.
I do not believe the review by “Mysterious Mr Wong” can be improved, but…

NOT YOUR TRADITIONAL CLASSIC CHRISTMAS CARTOONS
I was extremely disappointed in this collection. I have never seen ANY of the Christmas cartoons that were included and believe me I’ve seen a bunch of them.
