List of Funny Christmas Cartoons for Children

All I Want for Christmas Is You (2017)

All I Want For Christmas Is You (also known as Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You) is a 2017 live video computer-animated series based on the song by Mariah Carey and the book by Carey herself and Colleen Madden.

The story is about Young Mariah (Breanna Yde) so desperate to have a puppy at Christmas, but her parents do not believe she should have one. They agree to let Mariah take care of the dog Jack (Dee Bradley Baker) and if she can take care of Jack, then she can have a dog of her own. The story of this movie is typical, it had its sad moments, and had a good ending. The star of this show is the puppy. It is really a cute story.

We recommend this movie for kids, focusing on puppies and their interactions with their parents (yes, a Christmas video movie in which the kid has both the MOM and the DAD). Therefore, It is a good pick for the whole family and your kids to watch together!

A Christmas Carol (2009 film)

A Christmas Carol is a Christmas cartoon about a mean and selfish old man, Ebenezer Scrooge, who hates Christmas. On a chilly Christmas night, Scrooge treats those who work for him, then refuses to donate to charity, and then is rude to his nephew when he invites him to vacation. Christmas with me.

Ghost of Christmas Past takes Scrooge on a journey through Christmases from his past, making Scrooge feel like an unhappy child and a young man who loves money more than his fianc̩.

The Polar Express (2004)

“The Polar Express” has the quality of many children’s series entertainment: A little creepy. Not in a nasty way, but in a sneaky, teasing way so you know weird things can happen. There’s a deeper, more creepy tune, rather than the careless hilarity of the usual Christmas Cartoons.

The movie tells the story of a young boy who, on Christmas Eve, sees a mysterious train going to the North Pole that stops outside his window and is invited on board by its commander. The boy along with some other children started the journey to visit Santa to prepare for Christmas.

Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch (2018) – Christmas cartoon for kids

The Grinch is a 2018 American computer-animated Christmas fantasy comedy Cartoon produced by Illumination and distributed by Universal Pictures. Based on the 1957 book How the Grinch Stole Christmas! by Dr. Seuss.

Grinch tells the story of a grumpy man on a Christmas-stealing mission, but his heart is changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit. Humorous, warm, and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.

This new version is rated PG by the American Film Association for its brief, rude humor, according to the film’s IMDb page. Those are jokes that may suit more kids, but a mischievous 4 or 5-year-old kid might come across.

Olaf’s Frozen Adventure (2017)

Disney’s new short film, “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure”, will hit theaters ahead of Pixar’s latest film “Coco”. The short clip, actually a 21-minute film, has sparked controversy among audiences who really hate adding an Olaf-centered story to the “Coco” experience.

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) – Classic Christmas Cartoons

The Nightmare Before Christmas (also known as Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas) is a dark 1993 American musical fantasy animated film directed by Henry Selick and produced and conceived by Tim Burton. It tells the story of Jack Skellington, King of “Halloween Town”, who stumbles through a portal to “Christmas Town” and is obsessed with organizing holidays.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is derived from a poem Burton wrote in 1982 while he was animating at Walt Disney Productions. With Vincent’s success that same year, Burton began considering developing The Nightmare Before Christmas as a short 30-minute short or special TV special to no avail. Over the years, Burton’s thoughts frequently returned to the project and in 1990, he made a development agreement with Walt Disney Studios. Production commenced in July 1991 in San Francisco; Disney initially released the movie through Touchstone Pictures because the studio believed the movie would be “too dark and scary for children”.

The film has enjoyed both critical and financial success, grossing $ 90 million since its first release and drawing a large following. It has been nominated for the Best Visual Effects Academy Award, the first award given to an animated film.
