Rankin Bass took a looooong (16 years) Winter's nap between their previous special and their final Christmas special. Santa Baby premiered in 2001! You didn't know about

Episode 18 - The Life And Adventures of Santa Claus

Didn't we just do this? Rankin Bass did a few origins of Santa Claus, and this was their last attempt. Was it their best? Having L. Frank Baum along for the ride didn't h

Episode 10 - Rudolph"s Shiny New Year

The next Christmas special from Rankin Bass is about....New Years?? That's right, they gave us a post-Christmas special, but aired it BEFORE Christmas. Make it make sense
