COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Original Christmas Classics submitted by SBNB on June 20, 2015, 7:53pm I have always loved Rudolph, Santa Claus, and Drummer Boy. Frosty is ok. Frosty Returns is weird. I would say the Frosty sequel is relatively boring for adults but probably good for kids. This is a great collection!

Christmas Classics submitted by avrogers1 on August 24, 2018, 2:33am I grew up watching these films at Christmas time. They are really nostalgic for me and I think they are well done. Rudolph was always my favorite out of these.
