We got the Christmas Specials Collection free in exchange for an honest review all opinions are our own.
I remember when I was younger getting ready for the Christmas Specials. We had to have the evening planed. If anything came up we were not going to get to watch it. This was a make it on time or miss part of the show. My sister and I were sad if we had missed any of it. We waited all year to soo our favorite Christmas Specials. Now we can enjoy the Classic Christmas specials any time we want in this awesome Steel Case collectors set.
Frosty The Snowman is a true classic in our house. We watch every year and I love that we can now add these other favorites to our collection.
