Favorite Holiday TV Specials
When you grow weary of the Yule Log's glowing embers, flip the channel to one of these holiday classics. After all, nothing say Christmas like stop-motion animation, singing otters and Charlie Brown.

A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All
A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All

Comedian Stephen Colbert may have produced his 2008 holiday special for less money than most people spend on gifts for grandma, but he didn't skimp on the cast. After Stephen becomes "trapped" in bear country, he's visited by traveling musicians and comedians who stop in to sing a few ditties.

Willie Nelson joins Stephen in a duet of "Little Dealer Boy," and John Legend lends his voice to "Nutmeg." Elvis Costello, Toby Keith, Jon Stewart, Feist and George Wendt also make cameos in this hour-long parody of holiday specials.
