Winter / Christmas Shows & Movies for Kids

View my realistic screens guide HERE.

***PLEASE vet any YouTube links below before showing your kids if it's not from the brand/stations official YouTube channel. I have not personally watched them all, and there are (unfortunately) people who like to sneak in terrible things into seemingly innocent YouTube videos. We found this out the hard way with what I thought was a normal version of A Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. I don't think it happens often. We watch a TON of old school shows on Youtube, and that was the first I ever came across something like that, but it can happen.
