As the Christmas holiday approaches, families look forward to bonding over food, memories, and movies, especially re-runs of their favorite holiday specials. Some of the most-watched classics include A Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
The 1964 release Rudolph the Red-Nosed, is a longtime favorite featuring the adorable Rudolph, who was considered different for his red nose and saved Christmas with his uniqueness. The soundtracks “We Are Santa’s Elves” and “Holly Jolly Christmas” have become common among festive playlists.
How to watch ‘Rudolph’ in 2024
Rudolph has always aired on CBS. However, it is coming to NBC this year and will air on December 6, the same date as its premiere on the General Electric Fantasy Hour 60 years ago. It will air again on the same network on December 12 at 8 p.m.
Fans can also watch Rudolph on Freeform at designated times, while Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV + subscribers can purchase the classic on the streaming platforms. Fans of the stop-motion special will get to see Rudolph and his fellow misfits Hermey the Elf, Yukon Cornelius, and others.
Other Christmas specials to look out for
Other beloved holiday specials include Mickey’s Christmas Carol, which only Disney + subscribers can access at the moment as no TV airings have been announced. 1970’s Santa Claus Is Coming To Town is coming to ABC and will show right after CMA County Christmas.
