Limited Edition Holiday TV Classics Blu-ray
The new Limited Edition Christmas Specials SteelBook Blu-ray Collection is a wonderful way to relive memories and create new ones.
When I was a kid oh so many years ago, the only way to watch these classic Christmas specials was on TV.
As Christmas got closer I’d check the weekly TV listing to look for my favorites, since I wanted to make sure I got to watch them.
That was fun, but I love that we are now able to watch these TV classics on blu-ray whenever we want.

Fred Astaire used is vocal talents to help bring the Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town special to life.

There is adventure and trouble along the way, but The Little Drummer Boy follows the bright star.
