In addition to Rudolph and Frosty, are The Little Drummer Boy, The Cricket on the Hearth, and the true story of Santa Claus. Most are in stop-action animation with delightful music to accompany the story. The Little Drummer Boy is especially interesting as I had not viewed this on television. The message of giving and kindness is especially moving and important for the holiday season.

Rankin Bass Christmas favorites in one collection! AS a child, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, and Fosty The Snowman were three or my favorites (in that order). Now I'm a gradpa and I still love these classics. The Little Drummer Boy is also fantastic, though a bit more somber in tone than the others. As far as Cricket On The Hearth goes, please skip that one. Dark, dumb and agonizingly slow. The cricket claims to be lucky but the opposite is true. Bad things happen to anyone that meets this cricket. I'm talking blindness, job loss, homelessness, death (characters actually get shot!!!), and more. Never show this so-called "holiday favorite" to a child. If not for this Cricket film, I would get the collection 5 stars.

I don't know if I need to review this, however, if you haven't seen these classic Christmas tales, then you should definitely give this set a try. It's inexpensive and well worth the money. The only thing better would've been if Twas the night before Christmas was included.
