Top 10 lists blog The List Universe recently published its list of the best and worst Christmas TV specials.

Here’s a small excerpt:

I’m sure most people have their favorite Christmas specials, but did you know that most of the five best were made in the 1960s, and all of the worst of the lot weren’t? Did you also know that three of the top five were based on songs, the fourth on a book and the fifth on one of the greatest comic strips of all time? In other words, the best ones were adapted from cultural icons. Most of the worst were adapted from flavors of the month.

 

Most of the specials on the top list have been reviewed here on the Christmas DVDs blog: Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas. As far as the worst Christmas Specials go I didn’t know most of them. But if you dare and want to get at taste of them watch the video below.
