In the mold of Rudolph, there were the Rankin/Bass specials, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town," and one with Heat Miser and Cold Miser(?). Can't remember the name of that one. My wife still enjoys those, and gets a little teary when Clarice sings "There's Always Tomorrow" in Rudolph.
If you're looking for something cool to watch on your old color sets, we found a DVD of a 1957 special called "Happy Holidays with Bing and Frank." Though it aired on ABC in black and white, Frank Sinatra, who produced it, spent the extra money to film it in color. Though it's not the same as vintage color videotape, it is still a great time capsule of a show, and perfect holiday programming to watch on a set of similar vintage. And it's Bing and Frank--how could you go wrong?
