1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
Call it an obvious pick. I know it's probably the most famous of the five. I can't remember the first time I saw this special. I just remember always knowing about it. Everything works so well. Directed by Chuck Jones who is most famous for his work on the Loony Tunes shorts. You can see the similarity between some of his Loony Tunes from that period. Especially from the roadrunner and coyote stuff. Narrated and voiced by the iconic Boris Karloff, and the fantastically whimsical song lyrics and story by Dr. Seuss. It's a wonderfully redemptive story that always seems to stay relevant each year.
