"Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (7:30 p.m. Dec. 1; ABC): How can you not adore this story about a nasty green creature with a heart two sizes too small who ends up in love with Christmas and a heart bursting with joy?
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (7 p.m. Dec. 3; CBS): The 44-year-old stop-motion animation by Rankin/Bass stars "the most famous reindeer of all" as he uses his glowing nose to rescue Christmas from treacherous weather. Bonus: It's narrated by Burl Ives.
"Christmas in Rockefeller Center" (7 p.m. Dec. 3; NBC): It's the lighting of the world's most famous Christmas tree, along with tunes from Beyonce, Tony Bennett, the Jonas Brothers, Harry Connick Jr., David Cook, Rosie O'Donnell and the Broadway Kids, Faith Hill and Rascal Flatts.
"A Christmas Story" (7 p.m. Dec. 3, repeats for 24 hours starting Christmas Eve and ending Christmas Day; TNT): Ralphie's pleading for a Red Ryder BB gun, his almost shooting his eye out and the great turkey disaster have made "A Christmas Story" a must-see during the season.
"A Charlie Brown Christmas" (7 p.m. Dec. 8 and 16;
ABC): Charlie Brown's search for the true meaning of Christmas leads him through the mess of holiday commercialism that even his dog Snoopy succumbs to. With plenty of classic scenes -- the "Peanuts" gang ice skating, the Nativity play they put together and the pathetically wonderful Christmas tree Linus and Charlie Brown find -- there are no excuses for missing this holiday gem.
"Frosty the Snowman" (7 p.m. Dec. 12; CBS): Another Rankin/Bass favorite, the "jolly, happy soul" we know and love has to fend off the mad professor and rising temps as he hurries to the North Pole to keep from melting.
"It's a Wonderful Life" (7 p.m. Dec. 13 and 24, NBC): With a little help from his guardian angel, George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) reconsiders offing himself after revisiting pivotal moments in his life. And what could've been a terrible Christmas Eve turns out to be a heartwarming tale about the importance of friends.
"Dance in America: San Francisco Ballet's Nutcracker" (7 p.m. Dec. 17; PBS): The fairy-tale ballet synonymous with the holiday season gets the royal treatment courtesy of the San Francisco Ballet.
