3/10
The stop motion is fine but not the best I've seen from Rankin/Bass and it's just so syrupy it is hard to recommend- and that's coming from an adamant apologist for many Christian films. Go to Full Review

Many times Rankin/Bass leaned into weird plots, wacky characters and Christmas fun. The First Christmas, despite its odd and redundant title, is not that. Go to Full Review

Jack's A 05/22/2023 Simple and cute, definitely enjoyable See more 12/18/2022 A sweet story but definitely one of the forgettable rankin and bass specials. See more 12/06/2011 Among one of the most forgotten Christmas specials, this one is sweet but kinda cheap in some parts. However, it's very original for a Christmas special and deserves to be known better See more 12/24/2010 One of the least talked about Rankin/Bass specials. I honestly think it is a classic gem. See more 07/15/2010 I'm all for movies like Rudolph and Frosty, but out of all the Christmas movies out there, this is definitely my favourite. It's incredibly heartwarming and has excellent music. I've seen every showing of this on TV since I was ten. :] It's overlooked but it's more than worth watching. See more Read all reviews
