Harmless Holiday Movie To Show To Under-3s?

[SilverSabre25]

I'm doing a craft with my kidlets tomorrow that will take some time on my part as well as individual attention to each kid. I was thinking that it might help us all if I turn on a nice festive movie for them to watch while I work with each child on the craft. Any suggestions for something that would be largely harmless? Bonus points if it's instant streaming from Netflix...

Edit: okay, so after some quick Netflix searching, it would appear that none/very few of the holiday titles I can think of are streaming. Now, I'm just curious what you guys think would count as "harmless" for this age group.

The holiday classics? Frosty The Snowman or Santa Claus is Coming to Town?

Dora's Christmas Carol has been running a bunch on Nick. I think it's on tomorrow a few times as well. It's 'on demand' on our AT&T Uverse but not sure what you have.

I had a 2 1/2 year old who got ****ed into Frosty the Snowman the other day. Can you rent from your library, visit a nearby RedBox/GreenBox or call a friend to lend you a few movies?

I've got Uverse too. I never thought to check the On Demand stuff! I'll have to do that. If there's nothing I feel like showing them (honestly Dora makes me want to gag, no offense!) I will probably put on Signing Time. At least that's educational!

The library stuff is really popular and is on a LONG waitlist. And, I don't have many friends, . Most of my friends are still in college and my sisters/grown-up friends don't tend to let their kids watch stuff. The one who does relies on Netflix as well. At least if I add a few to the queue I should have them by next week.

So, the classics should be pretty harmless, eh? I wasn't sure; it's been YEARS since I have seen those, and with my usual "No TV" rule (unless it's Signing Time, and even that I save for a desperate day) I was hesitant about turning on any old thing.

You still have the option of going to a redbox or greenbox....whichever you have or movie rental place. Redbox only lets you rent it for a dollar a day so it gets spendy vs. renting something for a week from the regular movie rental places.

There's a Winnie the Pooh Christmas episode that is VERY cute, and completely harmless.

Most of the kid shows on TV have christmas episodes that they are airing if you have one you do like.

I think most are. I would steer clear of Charlie Brown.

I've recorded several things that have been on lately,
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (the old cartoon 1969 version)
Frosty the Snowman
Dora's Christmas Carol

They love them all

The favourite here is Caillou's Christmas...it's very sweet. The kids have even watched it in the summer. I think I found it on the free rack at the library, it might be hard to find.

My kids love Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer ~ really who doesn't

[Live and Learn]

I love the Muppet Family Christmas....probably for a bit older crowd though...
