Although our rankings varied (especially when the nostalgia trump card was pulled on a couple of cartoons!), here are our favorite (and most nostalgic) and least favorite cartoons from this magical 90s VHS tape. Did anyone else have one of these tapes lying around their house as a kid?
Favorite and Most Nostalgic Disney Christmas Cartoon Shorts
🎄Pluto’s Christmas Tree
It has all the holiday feels and the best of our chipmunk friends Chip and Dale. And there is some sweet Christmas caroling at the end. So nostalgic. And now you can see a nod to this cartoon in the queue for Mickey’s Runaway Railroad at the parks! *sniff* so amazing!
☃️Donald’s Snow Fight
This was the perfect cartoon for Corban as a child. It defined the beginning of Christmas break for him. No more school. It was time for snowball fights and epic snow forts. Bring on Christmas break!
🧸The Night Before Christmas
There is something magical about watching the toys decorate and bring Christmas to life for the children as they sleep. And the little boy who gets a puppy at the end? Just precious.
Least Favorite (But Still Amazing) Disney Christmas Cartoon Shorts
🎅🏼Santa’s Workshop
Some parts are mind-boggling (that checkerboard paint??). And others are charming (Santa reading the kids’ Christmas lists). But overall this isn’t our favorite Santa’s workshop situation.
⛸️Once Upon a Wintertime
Everything about this is so charming. Except it is *screaming!* Valentine’s Day vibes—great cartoon, wrong holiday VHS tape.
❄️Mickey Mouse On Ice
Very fun and we love the old-school animation of our favorite Mickey characters. The cinematography of Mickey’s ice skating skills is amazing to watch (they were clearly having so much fun experimenting with the possibilities of this new animation medium). But it is lacking a Christmas tone, and neither of us was feeling particularly nostalgic about this one. Although we still enjoy it now!
