Holidays in the 80's! (Ongoing list)

[Aurora]

I'm thinking about finding and watching 80s cartoon episodes and specials (and non-animated children's specials as well!) from the holidays.

I found a few already, but I'm specifically looking for ones from Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's. I'll take the old classics that were re-aired regularly through the 80's as well, like the Grinch, Frosty, Rudolph, and the Charlie Brown specials, just add the year for reference.

Some cartoons had individual episodes, like the Smurfs' "Littlest Witch" or the Pac-man ones. I'm at work, so I don't have the same list with me as I have at home. I'll post with it when I get a chance.

Halloween Specials:
Which Witch is Which?
Garfield's Halloween Adventure
Mr. Boogedy
The Worst Witch
Disney's Halloween Treat
Frankenweenie
The Great Bear Scare
It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966)
Bugs Bunny's Howl-o-ween Special (1978)

Halloween Cartoon Episodes:
Smurfs: "The Littlest Witch"
Pac-Man: "Pacula", "Trick or Chomp"
Pound Puppies: ???

Thanksgiving:


Christmas:


New Years:

This will get updated over time as you guys submit information!

Well, since they've pretty much been re-aired every year since their original airings, I would definitely go ahead and list the Charlie Brown specials.

"It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"
"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving"
"A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Those are 3 classics!

This may also be helpful to you in picking out '80s classics for your lists.

Those pages also have links to most all of the holidays you were asking about.

Oooh, awesome! Thanks for the links! I haven't made it very far in my list because it's been work, sleep, and be ill for the last couple of days. Ugh. I'll update it tonight, hopefully.

Since the lists didn't mention them, there are The Real Ghostbusters' Halloween specials:

When Halloween Was Forever (1986): When the ancient fiend Samhain is released from his stone prison by the ghosts and goblins of New York, the Ghostbusters must stop him from freezing time so Halloween will never end. This is one of my favorite episodes of any show, ever.

Halloween II 1/2 (1987): Samhain and his minions attack and capture the firehouse, kicking out the Ghostbusters and taking the Junior Ghostbusters hostage. Very impressive animation.

The Halloween Door (1989): Musical episode. A crotchety old man accidentally releases a host of eldritch horrors trying to prevent the children of his neighborhood from celebrating Halloween. Boogaloo's villain song is catchy.

"The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone" (79/80)
"The He-man & She-Ra Christmas Special" (85)
"the Witches Night out" (7
"the Adventures of Ichabod" (49)
I'm also a big fan of the Christmas Carol. The Flintstones (94), the Jetsons (85), the Muppets (92) and the Mickey mouse (83) versions can usually be caught on tv.

....and the Pinky and the Brian Christmas Special (95) was really good. And the Halloween Tree (93) has been doing pretty good.
