8 Very 80s Christmas Specials

The phrase “special” on television used to mean one of two things: a character I liked was going to get mixed up in drugs, or a character I liked was going to get mixed up in Christmas. I much preferred the latter, and the 80s was a magical time for pumping out TV Christmas specials. Here are a few, courtesy of YouTube Santa, to make you nostalgic for Christmas Past.
