George S Irving voiced Heat Miser, not Snow Miser.

Love the timeline!

I would’ve never thought about “Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town” taking place after “Nestor”!

You are so awesome! I do not suppose I’ve truly read through anything like that before. So great to discover somebody with some genuine thoughts on this subject matter. Really.. thanks for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality!

This is so interesting! I love seeing such a detailed timeline for the Rankin Bass specials! I don’t hear many people talk about these specials with so much detail, so I really appreciate this.

Like one other person pointed out, you didn’t mention The Little Drummer Boy or its sequel as one of the films that don’t include Santa, Rudolph, etc.

Excluding non-Christmas movies like Peter Cottontail or The Easter Bunny Is Comin’ To Town, you also didn’t mention The Cricket of the Hearth (1961), The First Christmas: The Story of the First Christmas Snow (1975), The Stingiest Man in Town (1978), and The Leprechaun’s Christmas Gold (1981). These are often glanced over, so I don’t blame you for forgetting about them. Though, if you haven’t seen them, I suggest giving them a watch. The first and last ones I say watch for curiosity-sake, but they’re both….interesting. The First Christmas is very charming, and I say it’s definitely worth checking out. I have yet to see The Stingiest Man in Town, but from what I’ve heard, it’s basically Rankin Bass’ adaptation of A Christmas Carol.

Then again, S.D. Kluger is the narrator of “The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town”, providing continuity with “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Unfortunately that special conflicts with “The First Easter Rabbit.”

Yep, you forgot “The First Easter Rabbit” and “Here Comes Peter Cottontail.” Santa is voiced by Paul Frees in both. The former also has another ice/snow personification named Zero. He looks very similar to the Winter Warlock and Winterbolt.

Good timeline except for the fact that you forgotten The Little Drummer Boy specials.

I know what you mean. Like the last season of “Lavern and Shirley.” At least most of the last season I believe had NO Shirley, as she refused to show up for contract reasons I can’t remember just now!

[...] Yes, I know Christmas cartoons are, like, so last year already, but I was rather taken with Dave Roman’s timeline of the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. He says, by way of introduction to his well-thought-out [...]

[...] Oh, and while talking about the Zelda timeline controversy (as also mentioned in my last update) on the car ride to Babylon, Dave brought up how he recently tried the same with all the Rankin/Bass holiday specials! [...]
